Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Money Market Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Funds’ (the “Funds”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

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

During the Reporting Period, noteworthy events influencing the front, or short-term, end of the money market yield curves included Federal Reserve (“Fed”) interest rate hikes and its start of balance sheet normalization as well as action by other central banks, including the European Central Bank’s (“ECB”) tapering of asset purchases. (Yield curve is a spectrum of interest rates based on maturities of varying lengths. Balance sheet normalization refers to the steps the Fed is taking to reverse quantitative easing and remove the substantial monetary accommodation it has provided to the economy since the financial crisis began in 2007.)

In December 2017, the Fed delivered its third rate hike of the calendar year, raising the targeted federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a range between 1.25% and 1.50%. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) In March and June 2018, the Fed raised rates again, by 25 basis points on each occasion, and at the end of the Reporting Period, the targeted federal funds rate stood in a range between 1.75% and 2.00%. Fed policymakers cited ongoing strength in the U.S. labor market, as a well as a pickup in household spending and business fixed investment, for its rate hikes. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fed’s “dot plot,” which shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, pointed to two additional rate increases in 2018, implying a total of four rate hikes in the calendar year, and potentially two more in 2019.

Outside the U.S., the ECB announced in October 2017 that it would reduce its monthly asset purchases, primarily by purchasing fewer sovereign government bonds. Beginning in January 2018, and for a period of nine months, the ECB planned to cut its monthly asset purchases from €60 billion to €30 billion. ECB officials left policy rates unchanged throughout the Reporting Period but said in the second quarter of 2018 that they planned to taper the ECB’s quantitative easing program starting in September. Elsewhere, the Bank of England (“BoE”) reversed an emergency interest rate in October 2017 that it had made in August 2016 after 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. However, reduced slack in the U.K. economy and signs of wage growth led the BoE to raise interest rates in July 2018.

In terms of liquidity management market trends, the money markets overall were influenced during the Reporting Period by corporate tax reform and the regulatory backdrop. The management teams of multinational corporations faced increased pressure to make decisions regarding cash investments due to a one-time repatriation tax and considerations of excess cash returning to the U.S. We believe many investors who “never thought about cash” began looking at cash flow management practices, investment policies and new investment options.

What key factors were responsible for the performance of the Funds during the Reporting Period?

The Funds’ yields rose during the Reporting Period, driven by the increase in money market yields, which occurred primarily because of the economic and market factors discussed above. The money market yield curve flattened, meaning yields on shorter-term maturities rose more than those on longer-term maturities.

How did you manage the Funds during the Reporting Period?

Collectively, the Funds had investments in commercial paper, asset-backed commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, government agency securities, repurchase agreements (“repos”), government guaranteed paper, time deposits, certificates of deposit, variable rate demand notes (“VRDNs”), municipal securities and floating rate securities during the Reporting Period.

In our commercial paper strategies (i.e., the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund and the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund), we maintained a rather short weighted average maturity of approximately 35 days in the early months of the Reporting

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Period, as the Fed continued to signal the likelihood of a December 2017 interest rate hike. For the same reason, during the first half of the Reporting Period, we maintained relatively short weighted average maturities of approximately 20 days in our government repo strategies (i.e., the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Obligations Fund and the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Solutions Fund) and of approximately 40 days in our government non-repo strategies (i.e., the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund and the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund). During the fourth quarter of 2017 and in early 2018, we focused our Funds’ purchases on floating rate securities, asset-backed commercial paper and agency securities because, in our view, they could help us manage duration in the event of a more aggressive than market expected Fed interest rate hike scenario. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.)

In the second half of the Reporting Period, guidance from the Fed about future rate hikes led us to manage the weighted average maturities of our commercial paper strategies in a range between 31 days and 40 days, our government repo strategies between 26 days and 42 days and government non-repo strategies between 33 days and 46 days. We continued to focus our Funds’ purchases on floating rate securities, asset-backed commercial paper and agency securities because of the potential of a more aggressive than market expected pace of Fed rate hikes.

How did you manage the Funds’ weighted average life during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, we managed the weighted average life of the Funds at and below 120 days. In our commercial paper strategies, we managed the Funds’ weighted average life between approximately 60 days and approximately 100 days. In our government repo and government non-repo strategies, we managed the Funds’ weighted average life from approximately 60 days to approximately 120 days. The weighted average life of a money market fund is a measure of a money market fund’s price sensitivity to changes in liquidity and/or credit risk.

Under amendments to SEC Rule 2a-7 that became effective in May 2010, the maximum allowable weighted average life of a money market fund is 120 days. While one of the goals of the SEC’s money market fund rule is to reinforce conservative investment practices across the money market fund industry, our security selection process has long emphasized conservative investment choices.

Did you make any changes to the Funds’ portfolios during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, we made adjustments to the Funds’ weighted average maturities and their allocations to specific investments based on then-current market conditions, our near-term view and anticipated and actual Fed monetary policy statements.

What is the Funds’ tactical view and strategy for the months ahead?

At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected the U.S. to continue taking the lead in unwinding the ultra-accommodative monetary policy put in place following the global financial crisis. We think the Fed will raise interest rates a total of four times in 2018 and two to three times in 2019, while also continuing its balance sheet normalization. Elsewhere, we saw scope at the end of the Reporting Period for several developed markets’ central banks, including the Bank of Canada and Reserve Bank of New Zealand, to tighten monetary policy because of domestic economic strength in those nations. In contrast, we anticipated prolonged monetary policy accommodation in Europe and Japan, where core inflation appeared to lack upward momentum.

Overall, the Funds continue to be flexibly guided by shifting market conditions, and we have positioned them to seek to take advantage of anticipated interest rate movements. At the end of the Reporting Period, we viewed floating rate securities as offering value, and we intend to adjust duration guided by the context of market pricing in relation to our expectations. As always, we intend to continue to use our actively managed approach to seek the best possible return within the framework of our Funds’ investment guidelines and objectives. In addition, we will continue to manage interest, liquidity and credit risk daily. We will also continue to closely monitor economic data, Fed policy and any shifts in the money market yield curve, as we strive to navigate the interest rate environment.

The returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Funds’ investment returns will fluctuate. 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.

Each of the Prime Obligations, Treasury Obligations, Money Market, Treasury Instruments and Treasury Solutions Funds offers nine separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier and Resource), the Federal Instruments Fund offers eight separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management and Premier), and the Government Fund offers twelve separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier, Resource, Class R6, Class A and Class C), each of which is subject to different fees and expenses that affect performance and entitles shareholders to different services. The Institutional and Class R6 Shares do not have distribution and/or service (12b-1) or administration and/or service (non-12b-1) fees. The Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier, Resource, Class A and Class C Shares offer financial institutions the opportunity to receive fees for providing certain distribution, administrative support and/or shareholder services (as applicable). As an annualized percentage of average daily net assets, these share classes pay combined distribution and/or service (12b-1), administration and/ or service (non-12b-1) fees (as applicable) at the following contractual rates: the Select Shares pay 0.03%, Preferred Shares pay 0.10%, Capital Shares pay 0.15%, Administration Shares pay 0.25%, Service Shares pay 0.50%, Cash Management Shares pay 0.80%, Premier Shares pay 0.35%, Resource Shares pay 0.65%, Class A Shares pay 0.25% and Class C Shares pay 1.00%. If these fees were reflected in the above performance, performance would have been reduced. In addition, the Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.

For the period February 8, 2018 through July 1, 2018, the investment adviser implemented a voluntary temporary fee waiver equal annually to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund and Financial Square Money Market Fund. From July 2, 2018 through September 30, 2018, the investment adviser reduced the voluntary temporary fee waiver to a percentage rate equal annually to 0.08% of the average daily net assets for both funds. On October 1, 2018, the investment adviser has reduced the voluntary temporary fee waiver to a percentage rate equal annually to 0.06% of the average daily net assets for both funds.

⁴

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. A Fund’s total return reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions.

The Standardized Total Returns are average annual or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) of Institutional Shares as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. The SEC 7-Day Current Yield is not a Standardized Total Return.

Because Institutional Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

The yields and returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Funds’ investment yields and returns will fluctuate as market conditions change. 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 yields and 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.

¹¹

The SEC 7-Day Current Yield figures are as of June 30, 2018 and are calculated in accordance with securities industry regulations and do not include net capital gains. SEC 7-Day Current Yield may differ slightly from the actual distribution rate of a given Fund because of the exclusion of distributed capital gains, which are non-recurring. The SEC 7-Day Current Yield more closely reflects a Fund’s current earnings than do the Standardized Total Return figures.

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
Federal Instruments	Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, and Cash Management	Diversified
Government	Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Class A, Class C, Resource, Cash Management and Class R6	Diversified
Money Market, Prime Obligations, Treasury Instruments, Treasury Obligations and Treasury Solutions	Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource, and Cash Management	Diversified

Class C Shares may typically be acquired only in an exchange for Class C Shares of another Goldman Sachs Fund. Class C Shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% during the first 12 months, measured from the time the original shares subject to the CDSC were acquired.

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 management agreements (the “Agreements”) with the Trust.

The following Funds were designated by the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as “institutional money market funds” under Rule 2a-7 under the Act: Financial Square Money Market Fund and Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund (the “Institutional Money Market Funds”). Each of the Institutional Money Market Funds must price its shares at a net asset value (“NAV”) reflecting market-based values of its portfolio securities (i.e., at a “floating” NAV) rounded to the fourth decimal place (e.g., $1.0000).

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 investment valuation policy of the Funds, except for the Institutional Money Market Funds, is to use the amortized-cost method permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Act for valuing portfolio securities. The amortized-cost method of valuation involves valuing a security at its cost and thereafter applying a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Normally, a security’s amortized cost will approximate its market value. Under procedures and tolerances approved by the Trustees, GSAM evaluates daily the difference between each Fund’s NAV per share using the amortized costs of its portfolio securities and the Fund’s NAV per share using market-based values of its portfolio securities. The Institutional Money Market Funds’ investment valuation policy is to value its portfolio securities only at market-based values. The market-based value of a portfolio security is determined, where readily available, on the basis of market quotations provided by pricing services or securities dealers, or, where accurate market quotations are not readily available, on the basis of the security’s fair value as determined in accordance with Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which may consider (among other things): (i) yield or price with respect to debt securities that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

B. Investment Income and Investments — Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified 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. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution, Service, Distribution and Service, Administration, Service and Administration, and Shareholder Administration fees and Transfer Agency fees. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the respective Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses.

D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly by the Funds and may include short-term capital gains. Long-term capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. A Fund may defer or accelerate the timing of the distributions of short-term capital gains (or any portion thereof).

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. 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. Forward Commitments — 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 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 forward commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities for its portfolio, the Fund may dispose of forward commitments prior to settlement which may result in a realized gain or loss.

F. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of a Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements.

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

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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.


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).

The Trustees have 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 (including both the amortized cost and market-based methods of valuation) of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies related to the market-based method of valuation, 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.

As of August 31, 2018, all investments and repurchase agreements, other than those held by the Institutional Money Market Funds, are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. All investments for the Institutional Money Market Funds are classified as Level 2, with the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries which are generally classified as Level 1. Please refer to the Schedules of Investments for further detail.


4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

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

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

C. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, 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 Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.

The Trust, on behalf of Class C, Resource and Cash Management Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted Distribution Plans subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution Plans, 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, Resource and Cash Management Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.

The Trust, on behalf of the 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.

D. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, Goldman Sachs has advised that it retained $2,013 in CDSCs with respect to Class C Shares of the Financial Square Government Fund.

E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement. The fee charged for such transfer agency services is accrued daily and paid monthly and is equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

F. Other Agreements — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding transfer agency fees and expenses, administration fees (as applicable), service fees (as applicable), 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, 0.014% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 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 which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

The investment adviser may also voluntarily waive certain fees and expenses, and such voluntary waivers may be discontinued or modified at any time without notice. For the period February 8, 2018 through July 1, 2018, GSAM implemented a voluntary temporary fee waiver equal annually to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund and Financial Square Money Market Fund. From July 2, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, GSAM reduced the voluntary temporary fee waiver to a percentage rate equal annually to 0.08% of the average daily net assets for both funds. Prior to February 21, 2018, GSAM contractually agreed to not impose a portion of the management fee equal annually to 0.025% of the Financial Square Federal Instruments, Financial Square Treasury Instruments, Financial Square Treasury Obligations and Financial Square Treasury Solutions Funds’ average daily net assets and 0.045% of the Financial Square Government, Financial Square Money Market and Financial Square Prime Obligations Funds’ average daily net assets.

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, GSAM and Goldman Sachs (as applicable) agreed to waive all or a portion of the management fees and respective class-specific fees described above attributable to the Funds.

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.

6. OTHER RISKS

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

Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s NAV and liquidity. 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. 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.

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, a Fund’s yield will tend to be lower than prevailing market rates, and the market value of its securities or instruments may also be adversely affected. A low interest rate environment poses additional risks to a Fund, because low yields on the Fund’s portfolio holdings may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s ability to provide a positive yield to its shareholders, pay expenses out of Fund assets, or, at times, maintain a stable $1.00 share price (or, for the Institutional Money Market Funds, minimize the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share). The risks associated with changing interest rates may have 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.

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, 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 a Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

7. 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.

8. OTHER MATTERS

Exemptive Orders — Pursuant to SEC exemptive orders, the Funds may enter into certain principal transactions, including repurchase agreements, with Goldman Sachs.

9. 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 Goldman Sachs Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Obligations Fund, and Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Solutions Fund:

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Obligations Fund, and Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Solutions Fund (seven of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 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 each of the Funds as of August 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 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 Opinions

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 August 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian 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 opinions.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS

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

As a shareholder of Institutional Shares, Select Shares, Preferred Shares, Capital Shares, Administration Shares, Premier Shares, Service Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Resource Shares, Cash Management Shares or Class R6 Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including contingent deferred sales charges (with respect to Class C Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and distribution, service, administration and/or shareholder administration fees (with respect to all share classes except Institutional Shares and Class R6 Shares) and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Institutional Shares, Select Shares, Preferred Shares. Capital Shares, Administration Shares, Premier Shares, Service Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Resource Shares, Cash Management Shares or Class R6 Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

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 column heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

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

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

Expenses for each share class are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended August 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:

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.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

Background

The Goldman Sachs Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Obligations Fund, and Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Solutions Fund (the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.

The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2019 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on June 13-14, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”).

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

(a)

the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about:

(i)

the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams;

(ii)

the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services, and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance, and central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training);

(iii)

trends in employee headcount;

(iv)

the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and

(v)

the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its mutual fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management;

(b)

(c)

information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy;

(d)

the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund;

(e)

fee and expense information for the Fund, including:

(i)

the relative management fee and expense levels of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider;

(ii)

the Fund’s expense trends over time; and

(iii)

to the extent the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts (such as bank collective trusts, private wealth management accounts, institutional separate accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, and non-U.S. funds) having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser;

(f)

with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund;

(g)

the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations;

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

(j)

a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, distribution and other services;

(k)

a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser;

(l)

information regarding portfolio trading and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution;

(m)

the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and

(n)

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

The Trustees also received an overview of the Funds’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Funds’ assets, share purchase and redemption activity, and payment of distribution, service, and shareholder administration fees, as applicable. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Fund shares. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.

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

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

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

Investment Performance

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2017. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods.

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

130

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS

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

The Trustees considered the performance of the Funds in light of their respective investment policies and strategies. They noted that the Funds had operated for over a full calendar year following the implementation of the final set of money market fund reforms in 2016, including the requirements relating to liquidity fees and redemption gates and the transition to a floating net asset value for the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund and Goldman Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund (the “Prime Institutional Money Market Funds”). They also noted that, although the Funds had operated in a challenging yield environment since 2009, yields had continued to improve through 2017 and early 2018 as a result of actions by the Federal Reserve, including a series of interest rate increases. The Trustees considered that each of the Funds had maintained a competitive yield throughout the period, in part due to the Investment Adviser’s agreement to contractually and voluntarily waive a portion of its management fee and reimburse certain other Fund expenses. The Trustees also considered that each of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Obligations Fund, and Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Solutions Fund had maintained a stable net asset value per share and that the net asset value per share for each of the Prime Institutional Money Market Funds had experienced minimal principal volatility. They also observed that the Prime Institutional Money Market Funds had recently begun to experience growth in assets under management. In light of these considerations, the Trustees believed that the Funds were providing investment performance within a competitive range for investors.

Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information

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

In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Fund’s transfer agency and custody fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.

In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. They noted that the Investment Adviser and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) had waived fees and reimbursed expenses for the Funds in order to maintain competitive yields. They observed that the Investment Adviser had made its previous contractual management fee waiver permanent, lowering the Funds’ contractual management fees. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.

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

Profitability

The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for each Fund was provided for 2017 and 2016, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS

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

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds.

The Trustees noted that the Funds do not have management fee breakpoints. They considered the asset levels in the Funds; the Funds’ recent purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing the contractual fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other money market funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels. They considered a report prepared by the Outside Data Provider, which surveyed money market funds’ management fee arrangements and use of breakpoints. The Trustees also considered the competitive nature of the money market fund business and the competitiveness of the fees charged to the Funds by the Investment Adviser.

Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates

The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs; (b) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (e) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (f) Goldman Sachs’ ability to engage in principal transactions with the Funds under exemptive orders from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission permitting such trades; (g) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; and (h) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Funds’ third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.

Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders

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

Conclusion

In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until June 30, 2019.

MARKET REVIEW

Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Growth Funds

Market Review

Overall, U.S. equities rallied during the 12 months ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”), boosted by a combination of accelerating economic growth, rising corporate earnings and corporate tax reform. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a gain of 19.66%. The Russell 3000^® Index generated a return of 20.25%.

As the Reporting Period began in September 2017, U.S. economic activity and labor market data showed consistent strength, with U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth at an annualized rate above 3%, unemployment down to 4.2% and a reversal of five consecutive downside inflation surprises. Progress on tax reform and strong economic activity data remained supportive for U.S. equities in October and November 2017. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) delivered the third rate hike of 2017 in December as had been widely expected and maintained its projections for three additional interest rate hikes in 2018. U.S. equities gained additional momentum toward the end of the calendar year from the passage of a tax reform bill that reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The fourth quarter of 2017 marked the ninth consecutive quarter of positive returns for the S&P 500 Index, its strongest quarterly advance in four years.

U.S. equities saw a strong start to 2018, driven by positive economic data, a $1.5 trillion tax reform plan and a favorable corporate earnings season. The S&P 500 Index saw 14 closing highs in the month of January 2018. In February 2018, however, U.S. and international equities sold off on market speculation of a faster pace of interest rate hikes, which stoked a sharp rise in bond yields and an increase in equity market volatility. Concerns about Fed monetary policy tightening were further exacerbated by solid U.S. labor and inflation data. While the hawkish Fed minutes were largely expected, new Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony before Congress, positing a more optimistic economic outlook since the December 2017 Fed meeting, surprised equity markets with its hawkish tilt, sparking another sell-off in the U.S. equity markets. (Jerome Powell assumed the chairmanship of the Fed in February 2018. Hawkish language tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) In March 2018, escalating trade tensions and potential tariffs weighed on investor sentiment. Meanwhile, the Fed delivered on a widely expected interest rate increase, with its “dot plot” pointing to a total of three interest rate hikes this calendar year and potentially two in 2019. (The “dot plot” shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee.) However, Fed policymakers acknowledged that the “economic outlook has strengthened in recent months,” revising their economic growth forecast higher and their unemployment forecast lower.

The U.S. and China continued to generate trade headlines and geopolitical uncertainty about sanctions on Russia surfaced, but the impact of such on the U.S. equity markets remained relatively muted during April 2018, as investors stayed rather resistant to the risk of a trade war. U.S. equities rallied in May 2018, driven by strong corporate earnings, upside surprises in economic activity and sentiment data, and a new U.S. unemployment low of 3.8%. However, the U.S. equity rally was hampered by escalating geopolitical uncertainty stemming from the unexpected political outcome in Italy, the ongoing unpredictability around the U.S.-North Korea summit, and escalating trade tensions with many U.S. allies. The Fed raised interest rates again in June 2018, as widely expected, but the outcome of the Fed meeting was more hawkish than the consensus had anticipated. The Fed retained language indicating an “accommodative” monetary policy stance, but its economic growth and inflation forecasts

MARKET REVIEW

were upgraded, and its median projection was lifted to four interest rate hikes in 2018 from the three it had indicated in March 2018. Fed Chair Powell was also slightly hawkish in his June press conference. Still-escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China hurt market sentiment, with the U.S. threatening tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods and China vowing to retaliate. All told, then, the S&P 500 Index produced modestly positive but rather flat returns for the month of June 2018.

Market volatility was high in July 2018, driven both by the heightened trade rhetoric between the U.S. and China as well as between the U.S. and key allies and by strong U.S. macroeconomic data relative to other developed and emerging markets. The U.S. economy grew 4.2% year over year in the second calendar quarter, its fastest annualized pace since 2004. July also marked the 100^th month of economic expansion, a streak one year away from becoming the longest in U.S. history. U.S. equities then reached an all-time high in August 2018, with strong domestic economic data outweighing headwinds posed by moderating global economic growth and escalating trade and diplomatic tensions.

For the Reporting Period overall, information technology, consumer discretionary and energy, considered more economically-sensitive sectors, were the best performing sectors in the S&P 500 Index by a wide margin. The weakest performing sectors in the S&P 500 Index were utilities, consumer staples and telecommunication services, traditionally considered more defensive sectors, though each still eked out a modestly positive absolute return during the Reporting Period.

Within the U.S. equity market, all capitalization segments posted double-digit positive returns, but small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000^® Index, performed best, followed by large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000^® Index, and then mid-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap^® Index. From a style perspective, growth-oriented stocks significantly outpaced value-oriented stocks across the capitalization spectrum. (All as measured by the FTSE Russell indices.)

Looking Ahead

At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the U.S. economy maintained its growth momentum despite a moderation in other key markets. The U.S. labor market remained tight, and consumption had recovered. Thus, in our view, a rebound in investment may be key for both U.S. and global equity market performance during the remainder of 2018.

There were, at the end of the Reporting Period, increasing concerns by some that we had reached the peak for equity markets, particularly in the U.S., as central banks continue their interest rate hiking policy. However, history has shown that rising rates alone are a poor indicator of subsequent equity returns; the context is just as important. If interest rates increase because of stronger economic growth, as has been the case in the current hiking cycle to date, then we believe equities can perform well despite valuation headwinds. Given market conditions seen at the end of August 2018, we estimate that U.S. equities can absorb a 10-year U.S. Treasury yield of approximately 3.5% before rates become a material negative. It is worth noting that U.S. equities saw double-digit positive returns over the subsequent 12 months for all but one interest rate hiking cycle exceeding 100 basis points since 1988. (A basis point is 1/100^th of a percentage point.)

Furthermore, a normalization of interest rates and rising cost of capital reinforce a Darwinistic framework, wherein strong companies thrive and the weak perish, increasing the dispersion

MARKET REVIEW

among companies and sectors. For U.S. large-cap equities, much of the earnings recovery since the 2007/2008 financial crisis has been driven by cost-cutting and margins growth rather than by revenue growth. With rising cost pressures, we believe pricing power may well become an increasingly important differentiator of future success. We further believe the increased dispersion between winners and losers reinforces the importance of active investment management.

Indeed, regardless of market direction, our fundamental, bottom-up stock selection continues to drive our process, rather than headlines or sentiment. We maintain high conviction in the companies the Funds own and believe they have the potential to outperform relative to the broader market regardless of economic growth conditions. As always, we maintain our focus on seeking companies that we believe will generate long-term growth in today’s ever-changing market conditions.

Changes to the Funds’ Portfolio Management Team during the Reporting Period

Effective January 9, 2018, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) centralized its Fundamental Equity U.S. Value and Fundamental Equity U.S. Growth Teams into a single Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team. The Investment Adviser believes these changes will benefit the Funds by providing a more holistic investment perspective and the ability to leverage investment ideas across the U.S. Fundamental Equity platform.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Goldman Sachs Blue Chip Fund

Portfolio Composition

The Fund invests, 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 a diversified portfolio of equity investments of “blue chip” companies. Blue chip companies are companies that, in the view of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”), enjoy characteristics that include strong market positions, seasoned management teams, solid financial fundamentals and high-quality reputations. Although blue chip companies generally have large or medium market capitalizations, the Investment Adviser may invest in companies that it believes have good, long-term prospects to become well-known, established or blue chip companies. The Fund may continue to invest up to 20% of its Net Assets in foreign securities.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Effective after the close of business on October 31, 2017, Goldman Sachs Dynamic U.S. Equity Fund was re-named Goldman Sachs Blue Chip Fund and its principal investment strategy changed, as reflected above. Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Blue Chip Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

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 17.50%, 16.66%, 17.92%, 17.86%, 17.21% and 17.94%, respectively. These returns compare to the 19.66% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500^® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), during the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 8.04%. This compares to the 10.36% cumulative total return of the S&P 500 Index during the same time period.

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

The Fund posted positive double-digit absolute returns, but stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole also detracted from relative performance, albeit more modestly.

Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

Challenging stock selection in consumer staples, industrials and energy detracted from the Fund’s relative results most. The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were health care, consumer discretionary and financials, wherein effective stock selection helped most in each. Having an underweight to financials, which lagged the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period, added value as well.

Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

Among those stocks detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the S&P 500 Index were positions in diversified conglomerate General Electric, tobacco company Philip Morris International and software for enterprise information management supplier Oracle.

General Electric announced earnings in October 2017 that missed market estimates on earnings per share, driven by weakness in its power and oil and gas segments. The company also cut its 2017 guidance, which caused the stock to decline. Its stock fell further in November 2017 as new restructuring and financial tightening goals were announced. General Electric reduced its dividend by 50% and announced plans to focus on its core businesses of aviation, health care and power by selling or spinning off approximately $20 billion worth of assets. The company also announced intentions of changing the corporate culture to focus more on profitability, cash flow and execution. While we continued to believe the company was an attractively valued, high quality business, we felt its risk/reward prospects had shifted and

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

decided to exit the position. We believed the potential near-term volatility of the company’s shares outweighed the longer-term reward, and it had minimal catalysts in the near term and a challenging turnaround ahead. Additionally, General Electric, in our opinion, is likely to be less of a beneficiary from tax reform than other companies, as it already had a low effective tax rate. For all these reasons, we decided to eliminate the position and allocate the capital elsewhere.

In April 2018, the stock of Philip Morris International declined sharply following a disappointing quarterly earnings announcement. Its earnings per share beat market estimates, but its top line revenue was lower than market expectations, driven primarily by disappointing results in the company’s iQOS segment and in its organic sales. (iQOS is a relatively new type of electronic smokeless cigarette.) Later in the Reporting Period, the company raised its quarterly dividend by more than 6% and finished a study concluding its iQOS segment was meeting its primary objective. Despite the disappointing annual results, at the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to be positive on the company’s share in the iQOS market and believe the product’s healthier approach to tobacco usage may also grant it significant domestic market share. We also continued to feel the company provides best-in-class pricing, was attractively valued and pays an above-market dividend. We maintained our view that the company is a high quality franchise, well positioned to benefit from an improved macroeconomic backdrop.

Oracle’s shares sold off sharply in March 2018 following an underwhelming earnings report in which the company reported weaker than market expected total revenue, primarily driven by softness in its cloud business. The company then reported earnings in June 2018 that were better than market expectations on both top line revenue and earnings per share—with good guidance as well. However, its cloud revenue, one of the main drivers of growth for the company, was slightly weaker than market estimates, and Oracle also announced it would stop disclosing cloud revenue, which both we and the market viewed as a negative. Our original investment thesis for Oracle was based on the company’s ability to transition its installed user base to its cloud business, potentially leading to multiple expansion. However, the now less transparent reporting structure led us to lose confidence in the company’s cloud business and our ability to monitor it. Given this change and the relatively slower growth in other parts of its business, we decided to exit the position and allocate capital elsewhere.

What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks?

The Fund benefited most relative to the S&P 500 Index from positions in athletic apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories company Nike, payments company MasterCard and U.S.-based bank holding company Bank of America.

At the end of 2017, Nike’s stock rose as the company announced higher than market expectations for future earnings growth as well as an increase to its dividend. The company also announced earnings in June 2018 that were better than market expectations, driven by notable strength in its U.S. business, which in past quarters had shown weakness. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on the company’s continued focus on innovation and product development, which we believe is stronger than it has been in the recent past. In our view, Nike has a resilient business model, with diverse product offerings, global channels, market share gains and meaningful share buybacks. We continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that the company is a best-in-class franchise in a structurally healthy and growing category, and we were positive on the company’s long-term growth potential.

MasterCard’s earnings announcements throughout the Reporting Period consistently beat market estimates on both revenue and earnings per share, driven by higher processed transactions and an increase in gross dollar volume. Its stock also benefited from strong performance across the information technology sector broadly and payment companies more specifically during the Reporting Period. Although we continued to believe MasterCard is a high quality growth company with strong operating trends, we were cognizant of the recent strong performance in the stock and thus decided to exit the position in favor of other opportunities with what we considered to have more attractive risk/reward profiles moving forward.

Most of the strong performance for the stock of Bank of America occurred during the first half of the Reporting Period. In mid-October 2017, Bank of America announced positive earnings that beat market estimates on earnings per share, driven primarily by strong net interest income and credit trends. Bank of America announced earnings again in January 2018 that were positive, with continued strong net interest income trends. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on the company, as it performed well amongst its peers in the financials sector, due, in our view, to good banking fundamentals and its management’s emphasis on cost reductions. At the end of the Reporting Period, we

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

believed Bank of America remained attractively valued and were positive on the company’s business outlook and its ability to capitalize on potentially higher growth and interest rates.

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

During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy.

Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, we initiated a Fund position in Visa, a global leader in the provision of payment services. We feel confident the company will continue to benefit from several secular growth themes as transaction volume continues to shift toward electronic payments. We also view the company favorably as it invests in multiple services and geographies, which we think provides several potential sources of growth. Finally, we feel the stock was trading, at the time of purchase, at attractive levels given its growth prospects.

We established a Fund position in Texas Instruments, which engages in the design and manufacture of semiconductor solutions for analog and digital embedded and application processing. We are positive on the company given its diversified business and what we see as its disciplined management team. We feel Texas Instruments is a best-in-class franchise and its diversified product mix may provide insulation from the cyclical threats posed to others in the industry. The company, in our view, has a good balance sheet with strong free cash flow and robust return on earnings.

Conversely, as mentioned earlier, we sold the Fund’s positions in MasterCard and General Electric during the Reporting Period.

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

Effective January 9, 2018, John Arege no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund, and Sean Gallagher became a portfolio manager for the Fund. Steven M. Barry and Stephen E. Becker continue to serve as portfolio managers of the Fund.

Sean Gallagher then announced his retirement on July 17, 2018. Sean will continue to manage the Fund with Steven M. Barry and Stephen E. Becker until his retirement effective September 30, 2018.

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

In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to health care, industrials, consumer staples, materials and telecommunication services increased and its allocations to financials, consumer discretionary and real estate decreased compared to the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s position in cash decreased during the Reporting Period.

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

At the end of August 2018, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the S&P 500 Index in industrials, health care, materials and consumer staples. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the S&P 500 Index in financials and information technology and was rather neutrally weighted to the S&P 500 Index in consumer discretionary, energy, real estate and telecommunication services. The Fund had no position at all in utilities at the end of the Reporting Period.

These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. Because Institutional, Investor, Class P, 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 tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Performance Summary

August 31, 2018

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on November 30, 2009 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500^® Index (with dividends 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 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 P, 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 Capital Growth Fund

Portfolio Composition

Effective after the close of business on April 17, 2018, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, in approximately 90-150 companies that are considered by the Investment Adviser to be positioned for long-term growth. The Fund invests in both value and growth companies. The Fund’s fundamental equity investment process involves evaluating potential investments based on specific characteristics believed to indicate a high-quality business with sustainable growth, including strong business franchises, favorable long-term prospects, and excellent management.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

On February 16, 2018, the Board of Trustees of the Goldman Sachs Trust approved changes to the Fund’s principal investment strategy and benchmark index to be effective after the close of business on April 17, 2018. Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

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 22.01%, 21.11%, 22.50%, 21.91%, 22.35%, 21.73% and 22.53%, respectively. These returns compare to the 19.82% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000^® Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. The Fund’s former benchmark, the Russell 1000^® Growth Index, returned 27.23% for the same time period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 7.04%. This compares to the 8.13% cumulative total return of the Russell Index during the same time period. The Fund’s former benchmark, the Russell 1000^® Growth Index, returned 11.43% for the same period.

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

The Fund generated positive double-digit absolute returns that outperformed the Russell Index on a relative basis during the Reporting Period due to a combination of stock selection and sector allocation.

Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were information technology, consumer discretionary and industrials. Having an overweighted allocation to information technology, which was the best performing sector in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, helped most. Stock selection proved particularly effective in consumer discretionary and industrials. The only two sectors that detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were energy and financials, wherein both sector allocation and stock selection in each dampened results.

What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks?

Among those stocks the Fund benefited most from relative to the Russell Index were positions in e-commerce giant Amazon.com, payments company MasterCard and Internet subscription service for watching television shows and movies Netflix.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

in Amazon Web Services continually reinforced market participants’ confidence in the company’s cloud segment. The steady appreciation in Amazon.com’s stock price persisted even through spans of broader market volatility in February 2018. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on the company, as it continued to outpace competitors. We also favored its positioning as an innovative growth company, capable, in our view, of disrupting multiple industries. We believed, at the end of the Reporting Period, Amazon.com was poised to benefit from its scale, investment and competitive advantages.

MasterCard’s earnings announcements throughout the Reporting Period consistently beat market estimates on both revenue and earnings per share, driven by higher processed transactions and an increase in gross dollar volume. Its stock also benefited from strong performance across the information technology sector broadly and payment companies more specifically during the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic on the company’s ability to grow its core payments business through new client wins and to further differentiate itself by expanding to new growth areas, such as consumer credit and peer-to-peer lending. We also were positive both on the company’s plans to accelerate investments, driven by the savings from recent tax reform and on what we see as MasterCard’s strong operating trends, which we believe position it well relative to competitors.

Early in the Reporting Period, shares of Netflix rallied following an earnings announcement in which it reported in-line earnings and revenues, with subscriber growth well ahead of consensus estimates. Its subscriber growth was driven by strength in both its domestic and international markets. The company also reported free cash flow that exceeded consensus estimates, which was well received by the market, as the company continued to demonstrate strong execution. In the middle of the Reporting Period, its shares continued to rally with the help of an earnings report that beat market estimates, consisting of impressive subscriber growth and the announcement of videogame streaming on its platform. This release, as had been the case earlier in the Reporting Period, also featured healthy subscriber growth driven by strength in both domestic and international markets. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Netflix’s investment in content had been instrumental to its ongoing growth. Overall, we remained positive on Netflix as the market leader within the movie streaming space, offering a convenient way to consume content without the burden of ownership. We also believed the introduction of gaming illustrates the company’s ability to disrupt the global media industry and expand the universe in which it competes. Lastly, we believed the company was well positioned to continue capturing subscriber growth globally.

Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

Among those stocks detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in biopharmaceutical company Incyte, media and television broadcasting services provider Comcast and tobacco company Philip Morris International.

Despite strong earnings announced at the end of October 2017, shares of Inctye experienced weakness during the remainder of the Reporting Period, as its near-term narrative was dominated by a then-upcoming data readout on the company’s melanoma drug. Indeed, its shares sold off early in April 2018 following the highly anticipated Phase III trial results for that melanoma drug. Following the poor trial results, Incyte announced it would halt the study given that its product failed to show any benefit in conjunction with another cancer immunotherapy drug. At the end of June 2018, the company reported an end to another one of its drugs, REACH1, after the drug reported a low response rate. We decided to exit the position and reallocate capital to what we viewed as other high quality companies.

Early in the Reporting Period, Comcast’s stock price declined, as the company’s video subscription count took a hit following Hurricane Harvey and ongoing cord-cutting trends. (Cord-cutting is the practice of canceling or forgoing a cable television subscription or landline telephone connection in favor of an alternative Internet-based or wireless service.) Uncertain merger and acquisition activity then began to weigh on its shares in the beginning of 2018. Initially, Comcast was reportedly considering competing with Disney’s bid for Fox Networks, but then it was announced Comcast would be attempting to purchase the British broadcaster, Sky Networks. Investors reacted negatively to this news, as Comcast’s competitor, Twenty-First Century Fox, was also attempting to acquire Sky Networks. Fears of a bidding war intensified, and its shares declined accordingly. Then, toward the end of April, Comcast announced quarterly results that were generally in line with market estimates, with one of the highlights being strength in its NBCU segment. However, at the same time, Comcast announced its official bid for Sky Networks. Following the earnings results and potential acquisition, its stock price fell, as investors continued to digest the potential

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

deal implications. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were closely monitoring the situation. However, despite the volatility around the potential acquisition, we believed Comcast is a leading media company that provides on-demand content, innovates well on channel mediums and outperforms in cable despite cord-cutting trends and satellite expansion. We were also positive on Comcast’s diversification across its content and distribution channels.

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

During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy.

Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period?

We established a Fund position in DowDuPont, a company that engages in the development of specialty materials, chemicals and agricultural products. We believe the recently completed merger of the former companies, Dow Chemical and E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company, present an attractive opportunity for the newly formed company to unlock operating synergies, decrease costs and deploy cash on high-return projects to potentially further improve profitability. Overall, we believe DowDuPont is well positioned to benefit from inflecting cyclical tailwinds across multiple business segments as it works to improve its operations and unlock efficiencies.

Conversely, in addition to the sale of Incyte, already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in enterprise software company Oracle. During the Reporting Period, Oracle announced solid earnings and revenues that exceeded market expectations. However, Oracle also announced it would stop disclosing cloud revenue, which both we and the market viewed as a negative. Our original investment thesis for Oracle was based on the company’s ability to transition its installed user base to its cloud business, potentially leading to multiple expansion. However, the now less transparent reporting structure led us to lose confidence in the company’s cloud business and our ability to monitor it. Given this change and the relatively slower growth in other parts of its business, we decided to exit the position and allocate capital elsewhere.

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

Effective January 9, 2018, Timothy M. Leahy no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund, and Sean Gallagher became a portfolio manager for the Fund. Steven M. Barry and Stephen E. Becker continue to serve as portfolio managers of the Fund.

Sean Gallagher then announced his retirement on July 17, 2018. Sean will continue to manage the Fund with Steven M. Barry and Stephen E. Becker until his retirement effective September 30, 2018.

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

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

allocations in financials, materials, real estate, energy, telecommunication services and utilities increased and its exposure to information technology, consumer discretionary and industrials decreased.

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

At the end of August 2018, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the materials and information technology sectors and an underweighted position relative to the Russell Index in the financials sector. On the same date, the Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, health care, industrials, consumer staples, real estate, energy, telecommunication services and utilities.

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 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. Because Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund

Portfolio Composition

The Fund invests under normal circumstances, at least 90% of its total assets measured at time of purchase in equity investments selected for their potential to achieve capital appreciation over the long term. The Fund typically holds approximately 30-40 high quality growth companies and tends to be more concentrated in individual holdings, industries and sectors than the typical broadly diversified large-cap growth fund. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

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 23.68%, 22.74%, 24.13%, 23.94%, 23.37% and 24.09%, respectively. These returns compare to the 27.23% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000^® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 11.11%. This compares to the 11.43% cumulative total return of the Russell Index during the same time period.

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

The Fund generated robust positive double-digit absolute returns, but stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole also detracted, albeit more modestly.

Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

Challenging stock selection in the consumer staples, real estate and information technology sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative results most during the Reporting Period. Having an overweight to real estate, which lagged the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were materials, consumer discretionary and energy, wherein effective stock selection in each helped most.

Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

Among those stocks detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in biopharmaceutical company Incyte, tobacco company Philip Morris International and media and television broadcasting services provider Comcast.

Despite strong earnings announced at the end of October 2017, shares of Inctye experienced weakness during the remainder of the Reporting Period, as its near-term narrative was dominated by a then-upcoming data readout on the company’s melanoma drug. Indeed, its shares sold off early in April 2018 following the highly anticipated Phase III trial results for that melanoma drug. Following the poor trial results, Incyte announced it would halt the study given that its product failed to show any benefit in conjunction with another cancer immunotherapy drug. At the end of June 2018, the company reported an end to another one of its drugs, REACH1, after the drug reported a low response rate. Despite these setbacks, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that its risk/reward profile was attractive given the company’s strong base business, deep pipeline and what we saw as its reasonable valuation.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks?

The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in athletic apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories company Nike, genetics company Illumina and technology hardware manufacturer Cisco Systems.

In the beginning of the Reporting Period, Illumina’s shares appreciated following an encouraging quarterly report in which revenue and management guidance exceeded market expectations. The strong results were driven by the strong performance of NovaSeq, Illumina’s genetic sequencing platform. Later in the Reporting Period, its stock spiked again following another earnings release in which the company reported both earnings per share and revenues well ahead of consensus estimates. Sustained strength in the NovaSeq product line was a primary driver of its performance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe the company’s growth was at an inflection point, as NovaSeq, which is, in our view, cost and time effective for customers, is still in its early stages. We believed the company was well positioned as a leader in its industry to potentially capitalize on the NovaSeq product cycle with the benefit of strong and increasing secular demand for genetic sequencing.

We initiated a new Fund position in Cisco Systems early in the Reporting Period. Cisco Systems designs, manufactures and sells Internet Protocol-based networking products and services related to the communications and information technology industries. In May 2017, prior to the start of the Reporting Period, its shares had dropped sharply, as the company announced earnings better than market estimates on revenue and earnings per share but with guidance lower than

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

market expectations. Following the decline, we believed the company’s shares were attractively valued and took the opportunity to initiate a Fund position. Shares of Cisco Systems rose in November 2017, as the company reported earnings that were generally in line with market expectations but with earnings per share coming in slightly higher. Much of its outperformance, in our view, was due to continued market optimism about Cisco Systems’ solid execution and progress around many of its key strategic initiatives. Its stock also spiked in February 2018 when the company again reported strong quarterly earnings, beating market expectations on revenue and earnings per share. Its margins were also better than market expected, and its management gave higher future earnings guidance and announced a dividend increase. Its stock was strong again in August 2018, driven again by strong earnings for which the company beat market expectations and raised guidance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were positive on the trajectory of the company, with its ongoing transition to a more recurring business model. We also continued to believe Cisco Systems is a high quality company, with what we consider to be its strong balance sheet, robust free cash flow and effective business model positioning it well moving forward. At the end of the Reporting Period, Cisco Systems was paying an above-average dividend and was utilizing much of its free cash flow for stock buybacks.

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

During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy.

Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period?

In addition to the purchase of Cisco Systems, mentioned earlier, we initiated a Fund position in Visa, a global leader in the provision of payment services. We feel confident the company will continue to benefit from several secular growth themes as transaction volume continues to shift toward electronic payments. We also view the company favorably as it invests in multiple services and geographic regions, which we think may provide several potential sources of growth. Finally, we feel the stock was trading, at the time of purchase, at attractive levels given its growth prospects.

We established a Fund position in integrated circuit manufacturer Analog Devices. The company engages in the design and manufacturing of analog, mixed-signal and digital signal processing integrated circuits used in all types of electronic equipment. We feel the company has an attractive revenue growth and margin profile and has lagged the industry in recent years, presenting, in our view, an attractive buying opportunity.

Conversely, in addition to the sale of Comcast, already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in media and entertainment company Walt Disney Co. (“Disney”). While we continue to feel Disney has a strong brand name with good fundamentals and a commitment to share buybacks, we became less positive on the company moving forward given increasing competition and cord-cutting headwinds. We therefore decided to exit the position and allocate the capital to other ideas with what we considered to be more compelling risk/reward profiles.

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

Effective January 9, 2018, Timothy M. Leahy no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund. Steven M. Barry and Stephen E. Becker continue to serve as portfolio managers of the Fund.

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

In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to information technology, health care and materials increased and its allocations to consumer discretionary, industrials, consumer staples, real estate and financials decreased relative to the Russell Index.

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

At the end of August 2018, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the health care, information technology and real estate sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in industrials, consumer discretionary and financials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted relative to the Russell Index in consumer staples, materials and energy and had no positions at all in the utilities and telecommunication services sectors at the end of the Reporting Period.

Performance Summary

August 31, 2018

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on September 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000^® Growth Index (with dividends 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 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 P, 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 Flexible Cap Fund

Portfolio Composition

The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at time of purchase) (“Net Assets”) in equity investments in small-, mid- and large-cap issuers. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective of long-term growth of capital by investing, under normal circumstances, in companies that are considered by the Investment Adviser to be positioned for long-term growth of capital. The Fund’s strategy relies on fundamental analysis that provides for bottom-up security selection. This strategy is combined with a quantitative risk allocation process that is used to assist portfolio construction and trading decisions.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Effective after the close of business on August 31, 2017, Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Growth Fund was re-named Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Fund, its principal strategy was changed, as reflected above, and its benchmark was changed to the S&P 500 Index. Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

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 18.82%, 18.00%, 19.29%, 19.08%, 18.50% and 19.27%, respectively. These returns compare to the 19.66% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (with dividends reinvested), during the same period. The Fund’s former benchmark, the Russell 3000^® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested), returned 27.50% for the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 6.75%. This compares to the 8.01% cumulative total return of the S&P 500 Index during the same time period. The Fund’s former benchmark, the Russell 3000^® Growth Index, returned 13.23% during the same period.

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

The Fund posted positive double-digit absolute gains but underperformed the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period. Stock selection overall contributed positively, while sector allocation as a whole detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period.

Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

The sectors that detracted most from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were energy, consumer staples and consumer discretionary, wherein stock selection proved challenging. The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were financials, industrials and utilities. Effective stock selection drove results in the financials and industrials sectors, and sector positioning drove results in utilities.

Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the S&P 500 Index were positions in Internet subscription service for watching television shows and movies Netflix, biopharmaceutical company Incyte and e-commerce giant Amazon.com.

Having an underweight to Netflix, a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, led the strongly performing company to be a top detractor from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Early in the Reporting Period, shares of Netflix rallied following an earnings announcement in which it reported in-line earnings and revenues, with subscriber growth well ahead of consensus estimates. Its subscriber growth was driven by strength in both its domestic and international markets. The company also reported free cash flow that exceeded

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

consensus estimates, which was well received by the market, as the company continued to demonstrate strong execution. In the middle of the Reporting Period, its shares continued to rally with the help of an earnings report that beat market estimates, consisting of impressive subscriber growth and the announcement of videogame streaming on its platform. This release, as had been the case earlier in the Reporting Period, also featured healthy subscriber growth driven by strength in both domestic and international markets. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Netflix’s investment in content had been instrumental to its ongoing growth. Overall, we remained positive on Netflix as the market leader within the movie streaming space, offering a convenient way to consume content without the burden of ownership. We also believed the introduction of gaming illustrates the company’s ability to disrupt the global media industry and expand the universe in which it competes. Lastly, we believed the company was well positioned to continue capturing subscriber growth globally. Thus, at the end of the Reporting Period, we were monitoring position sizing to seek a more favorable risk/reward balance for the Fund.

Despite strong earnings announced at the end of October 2017, shares of Inctye experienced weakness during the remainder of the Reporting Period, as its near-term narrative was dominated by a then-upcoming data readout on the company’s melanoma drug. Indeed, its shares sold off early in April 2018 following the highly anticipated Phase III trial results for that melanoma drug. Following the poor trial results, Incyte announced it would halt the study given its product failed to show any benefit in conjunction with another cancer immunotherapy drug. At the end of June 2018, the company reported an end to another one of its drugs, REACH1, after the drug reported a low response rate. We decided to exit the position and reallocate capital to what we viewed as other high quality companies.

A relative underweight to the strongly performing Amazon.com led this position to significantly detract from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Strong quarterly results throughout the Reporting Period propelled shares of Amazon.com rather consistently higher. More specifically, the company beat market expectations on earnings per share in all four earnings reports announced during the Reporting Period and beat market expectation on revenue in three of the four. With each release, solid growth in Amazon Web Services continually reinforced market participants’ confidence in the company’s cloud segment. The steady appreciation in Amazon.com’s stock price persisted even through spans of broader market volatility in February 2018. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on the company, as it continued to outpace competitors. We also favored its positioning as an innovative growth company, capable, in our view, of disrupting multiple industries. We believed, at the end of the Reporting Period, Amazon.com was poised to benefit from its scale, investment and competitive advantages. Thus, at the end of the Reporting Period, we were monitoring position sizing to seek a more favorable risk/reward balance for the Fund.

What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks?

Among those stocks the Fund benefited most from relative to the S&P 500 Index were positions in diversified conglomerate General Electric and off-price retailers Burlington Stores and Ross Stores.

General Electric was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative results because the Fund had an underweighted position in the company and the company performed poorly. General Electric, a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, announced earnings in October 2017 that missed market estimates on earnings per share, driven by weakness in its power and oil and gas segments. The company also cut its 2017 guidance, which caused the stock to decline. Its stock fell further in November 2017 as new restructuring and financial tightening goals were announced. General Electric reduced its dividend by 50% and announced plans to focus on its core businesses of aviation, health care and power by selling or spinning off approximately $20 billion worth of assets. The company also announced intentions of changing the corporate culture to focus more on profitability, cash flow and execution. While we continued to believe the company was an attractively valued, high quality business, we felt its risk/reward prospects had shifted and decided to exit the position. We believed the potential near-term volatility of the company’s shares outweighed the longer-term reward, and it had minimal catalysts in the near term and a challenging turnaround ahead. Additionally, General Electric, in our opinion, is likely to be less of a beneficiary from tax reform than other companies, as it already had a low effective tax rate. For all these reasons, we decided to eliminate the position and allocate the capital elsewhere.

A new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, Burlington Stores’ stock performance accelerated late in 2017 when the company reported third quarter earnings that had stronger than market expected comparable same-store sales, high single-digit sales and solid adjusted earnings

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The company again reported earnings in May 2018 that were better than market estimates on earnings per share and revenue, which caused its stock to jump. Despite challenges to traditional retailers, the off-price space exhibited healthy momentum and increased demand, especially during the holiday season. Specific to Burlington Stores, we believe the company was able to enhance product assortments, including underdeveloped categories, such as home and baby, and shielded against e-commerce cannibalization by virtue of store experience, competitive pricing and faster supply chain.

Similarly, off-price retailer Ross Stores was a top contributor to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Late in 2017, the company reported earnings per share that beat market expectations, driven by strong same-store sales, and its share price rose accordingly. The company also raised guidance, and positive trends in merchandise margins and store traffic provided an additional boost to investor sentiment. Since then, Ross Stores strung together a few more successive quarters of revenue results that exceeded market forecasts. Importantly, the company was also able to maintain a better than market expected same-store growth profile. Given its profile, at the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Ross Stores was well positioned within its industry and ascribed it relative insulation from Amazon.com-related pressures. We also thought its valuation remained attractive for what we see as a high quality company. Overall, we remained encouraged at the end of the Reporting Period by what we viewed as Ross Stores’ consistent sales and earnings growth over time, strong free cash flows and demonstrated track record of returning capital to shareholders.

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

During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy.

Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period?

In addition to those purchases mentioned earlier, we initiated a Fund position in Berkshire Hathaway, a multinational conglomerate holding company. We purchased the stock due to the company’s collection of high quality businesses and its management team’s demonstrated track record of successful capital allocation. Additionally, we are constructive on the company’s strong balance sheet, which provides, in our view, the ability to deploy excess cash toward value-enhancing acquisitions.

We established a Fund position in financial services and banking institution JPMorgan Chase, an addition attributed primarily to the Fund’s benchmark change to the S&P 500 Index. We are positive on the company’s ability to grow loans and gain market share. We are also encouraged by its management’s focus on utilizing technology to reduce costs and improve efficiency across business lines. Overall, we are positive on the company’s business outlook, and, at the time of purchase, we found the stock compelling from a risk/reward perspective.

Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in McDonald’s. Following an extended span of strong performance, the company reported disappointing earnings early in 2018 in which it cited cost pressures as a key headwind. While we continue to believe McDonald’s is a high quality growth company, we decided to eliminate the position in favor of names in the industry with what we considered more attractive risk/reward profiles.

We sold the Fund’s position in enterprise software company Oracle. During the Reporting Period, Oracle announced solid earnings and revenues that exceeded market expectations. However, Oracle also announced it would stop disclosing cloud revenue, which both we and the market viewed as a negative. Our original investment thesis for Oracle was based on the company’s ability to transition its installed user base to its cloud business, potentially leading to multiple expansion. However, the now less transparent reporting structure led us to lose confidence in the company’s cloud business and our ability to monitor it. Given this change and the relatively slower growth in other parts of its business, we decided to exit the position and allocate capital elsewhere.

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

Effective after the close of business on August 31, 2017, Silverio Foresi became a portfolio manager for the Fund. Steven M. Barry continues to serve as a portfolio manager of the Fund.

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

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to consumer staples, financials, energy, telecommunication services and utilities increased and its allocations to information technology, health care, consumer discretionary, industrials and real estate decreased relative to the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s position in cash decreased during the Reporting Period.

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

At the end of August 2018, the Fund was rather neutrally weighted to all 11 sectors in the S&P 500 Index.

Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

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 19.37%, 18.52%, 19.78%, 19.21%, 19.64%, 19.06% and 19.80%, respectively. These returns compare to the 25.06% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 5.50%. This compares to the 9.45% cumulative total return of the Russell Index during the same time period.

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

The Fund generated positive double-digit absolute returns, but stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole also detracted, albeit more modestly.

Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

Detracting most from the Fund’s relative results was challenging stock selection in the consumer discretionary, industrials and information technology sectors. The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were materials and consumer staples, wherein effective stock selection drove results. Having no exposure to telecommunication services, which was the second-weakest sector in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also buoyed relative results.

Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in branded online travel services provider Expedia Group, kitchen equipment manufacturer Middleby and telecommunication services company Altice USA.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

positive on the company moving forward and decided to exit the position.

In the late fall of 2017, shares of Middleby came under pressure amid a challenged commercial food service industry. Moving into the new calendar year, Middleby’s stock declined sharply in February 2018 and again in May 2018 following disappointing earnings releases. In each, the company reported sustained organic growth weakness, the effects of which were exacerbated by higher than consensus expected operating expenses related to recent acquisitions. These developments led us to review our initial investment thesis and ultimately exit the Fund’s position after the company’s May 2018 release, as our confidence in the company’s ability to execute eroded.

Altice USA provides cable and fiber infrastructure for broadband communications. In November 2017, the company reported solid earnings. However, its stock traded down, largely driven, in our view, by its association with its French parent company, which owns approximately 70% of Altice USA. The parent company’s shares declined sharply during November 2017, as it reported third quarter 2017 results less than market expectations and provided a weaker outlook. Later in the Reporting Period, we decided to exit the position, as we felt the risk/reward profile of the company had become less compelling.

What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks?

The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in genetics company Illumina, discount retailer Five Below and web hosting service company GoDaddy.

Shares of Five Below spiked early in the summer of 2018 following an earnings release in which the company reported both earnings and revenue growth that exceeded investor expectations. In addition to its operating strength, the company announced progress on its plan to grow to 2,500+ stores, up from about 650 at the time. We were encouraged by the results and remained positive on Five Below at the end of the Reporting Period, as we believed it is relatively insulated from e-commerce pressures given the significantly discounted price of its merchandise.

Early in 2018, GoDaddy reported strong fourth quarter 2017 results and gave what the market generally saw as impressive guidance for both the then-upcoming quarter and 2018 as a whole. Continued customer engagement and expansion of its product portfolio drove organic revenue growth that exceeded investor expectations. Its stock price continued to climb higher as the Reporting Period progressed, as strong organic growth led to further quarters in which the company beat investor expectations while also raising guidance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe GoDaddy is a high quality company that has consistently executed and been able to deliver durable earnings growth.

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

During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy.

Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period?

We re-initiated a Fund position in financial services technology company Fidelity National Information Services, having sold the Fund’s position in the company during the prior Reporting Period. The company focuses on retail and institutional banking, payments, asset and wealth management, risk and compliance, consulting and outsourcing solutions. We are positive on the company’s strong earnings and cash flow growth potential and believe a recent pull-back in its stock presented a renewed favorable risk/reward opportunity going forward. We further believe the company may be a beneficiary of tax reform, as it is focused on returning capital to shareholders through stock buybacks.

We established a Fund position in off-price grocer Dollar General. We view the company favorably, as it has shown an ability to consistently grow sales, and its very low ticket

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

averages and more frequent trip shopping style has left it relatively insulated from e-commerce pressures. We also believe its business model is positioned to benefit in both a healthy market environment and provide some protection in an economic downturn. Overall, we feel Dollar General is a high quality growth company that was trading at an attractive valuation at the time of purchase given its risk/reward profile.

Conversely, as mentioned earlier, we sold the Fund’s positions in Middleby and Expedia Group during the Reporting Period.

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

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

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

In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to consumer discretionary and consumer staples increased and its allocations to information technology, industrials and financials decreased relative to the Russell Index. The Fund’s position in cash increased during the Reporting Period.

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

At the end of August 2018, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the health care, consumer staples and financials sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in industrials, information technology and materials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Index in consumer discretionary, real estate and energy and had no positions at all in telecommunication services and utilities at the end of the Reporting Period.

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 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. Because Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 1.2% of the Fund’s net assets as of August 31, 2018.

Performance Summary

August 31, 2018

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on September 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index (with dividends 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 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 P, 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.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund

Portfolio Composition

The Fund invests primarily in small and medium-sized growth companies with a market capitalization between $30 million to $60 billion. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

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 25.22%, 24.30%, 25.69%, 25.12%, 25.57%, 24.92% and 25.68%, respectively. These returns compare to the 30.18% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500^® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 8.60%. This compares to the 11.80% cumulative total return of the Russell Index during the same time period.

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

Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

Detracting from relative results most during the Reporting Period were health care, industrials and information technology, wherein stock selection was challenging. Effective stock selection in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and real estate sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Having an underweighted allocation to real estate, among the weakest sectors in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also buoyed the Fund’s relative results.

Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

Among those stocks detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company TESARO, medical device company Nevro and kitchen equipment manufacturer Middleby.

TESARO engages in the research and development of biopharmaceutical products. Its share price declined sharply in November 2017 in response to increased competition for its poly ADP ribose polymerase (“PARP”), an enzyme, inhibitor product. During the Reporting Period, its competitor received surprising approval from the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for a similar product. Its stock remained under pressure for much of the Reporting Period, as ongoing concerns around operating expenses and sales growth of its key product, Zeyjula, weighed on it. We decided to exit the position and reallocate the capital to what we believed were other high quality growth companies.

In November 2017, Nevro reported third quarter 2017 results that were ahead of market expectations. However, the company’s fourth quarter 2017 revenue outlook was below market estimates, causing its shares to weaken. Its stock also fell in May 2018 following its earnings release in which both

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

top line revenue and earnings per share came in weaker than market expectations. Then, in July 2018, negative rulings were announced relating to the company’s ongoing patent litigation with Boston Scientific. The court gave a preliminary ruling that several of Nevro’s patents were invalid. While the company plans to appeal the decision, we decided to exit the position, as this ruling could potentially alter the company’s growth outlook.

In the late fall of 2017, shares of Middleby came under pressure amid a challenged commercial food service industry. Moving into 2018, Middleby’s stock declined sharply in February 2018 and again in May 2018 following disappointing earnings releases. In each, the company reported sustained organic growth weakness, the effects of which were exacerbated by higher than consensus expected operating expenses related to recent acquisitions. These developments led us to review our initial investment thesis and ultimately exit the Fund’s position after the company’s May 2018 release, as our confidence in the company’s ability to execute eroded.

What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks?

Among those stocks the Fund benefited most from relative to the Russell Index were positions in medical device company ABIOMED, discount retailer Five Below and web hosting service company GoDaddy.

ABIOMED engages in the research, development and sale of medical devices to assist or replace the pumping function of the failing heart. Its shares rallied early in the Reporting Period following strong quarterly results in which it meaningfully accelerated revenue growth, driven by strength across multiple geographies. Its shares rallied again following a positive earnings release in April 2018 in which revenues were up significantly from the prior year. It was also announced later in the second calendar quarter that ABIOMED would be added to the S&P 500 Index, illustrating its sustained competitive position within the market. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on the company, as we believe its differentiated technology in the heart pump market positions it well, as hospital purchasing is shifting to devices that improve patient outcome and reduce hospital stays. Additionally, we believe the company is likely to benefit from its dominant competitive position in a market that is still in the early innings of penetration.

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

During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy.

Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period?

We initiated a Fund position in Teleflex. The company provides medical technology products that enable health care providers to improve patient outcomes and enhance patient and provider safety. We are positive on the company, as medical purchasing trends continue to shift toward improved patient outcomes and reduced hospital stays. We believe the company’s deep product pipeline positions it well for growth, as it continues to invest in key disease markets. Overall, we view Teleflex as a high quality growth company with strong cash flows and an opportunity to expand margins as it works to benefit from these secular growth themes.

We established a Fund position in McCormick & Company. McCormick & Company engages in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of spices, seasoning mixes, condiments and other flavorful products. We believe McCormick & Company is a high quality company, whose operating category is relatively insulated from some of the pressures being faced by other companies in the consumer

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

staples sector, such as cost and freight inflation. We are also positive on the company’s recent acquisition of Reckitt Benckiser, which has seen integration efforts track better than the market expected. Overall, we feel the company has an attractive risk/reward profile amongst a more challenged consumer staples sector.

Conversely, in addition to those sales mentioned earlier, we exited the Fund’s position in digital printing company Electronics for Imaging. At the end of October 2017, the company announced results that were lower than market estimates on both earnings per share and revenue and also cut fourth quarter 2017 guidance, causing its stock to decline sharply. While we believe the company could potentially benefit from favorable secular trends as analog continues to shift toward digital printing, we felt recent management missteps set up a less favorable risk/reward profile, and we therefore decided to sell the position and allocate capital elsewhere.

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

Effective July 17, 2018, Steven M. Barry no longer had portfolio management responsibilities for the Fund and is focusing instead on the U.S. equity business, primarily large and mid cap strategies. Daniel Zimmerman and Michael DeSantis, co-portfolio managers, continue to manage the Fund as they have since 2014 and 2017, respectively.

Steven remains the chief investment officer of Fundamental Equity globally, overseeing more than $68 billion in assets under supervision as of June 30, 2018. He has been in this role since 2009 and with the firm for more than 19 years.

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

In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to information technology, consumer discretionary and consumer staples increased and its allocations to health care, and industrials decreased relative to the Russell Index.

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

At the end of August 2018, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the information technology and financials sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in health care, industrials, real estate and materials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, energy and consumer staples and had no positions at all in telecommunication services and utilities at the end of the Reporting Period.

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 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. Because Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, 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 tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from the percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”), however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS.

Performance Summary

August 31, 2018

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on September 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500^® Growth Index (with dividends 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 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 P, 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.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund

Portfolio Composition

The Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, in approximately 50 to 70 companies that are considered by the Investment Adviser to be positioned for long-term growth. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

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 25.59%, 24.61%, 26.11%, 25.48%, 25.90%, 25.29% and 26.15%, respectively. These returns compare to the 27.23% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000^® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 10.13%. This compares to the 11.43% cumulative total return of the Russell Index during the same time period.

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

The Fund posted robust double-digit absolute gains, but sector allocation as a whole detracted modestly from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Stock selection overall contributed positively.

Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

Challenging stock selection in consumer staples and real estate detracted from the Fund’s relative results most during the Reporting Period. Having an overweighted allocation to health care, which lagged the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also dampened the Fund’s relative performance. The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were energy, materials and consumer discretionary, wherein effective stock selection drove results.

Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

Among the stocks detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were biopharmaceutical company Incyte, tobacco company Philip Morris International and media and television broadcasting services provider Comcast.

Despite strong earnings announced at the end of October 2017, shares of Inctye experienced weakness during the remainder of the Reporting Period, as its near-term narrative was dominated by a then-upcoming data readout on the company’s melanoma drug. Indeed, its shares sold off early in April 2018 following the highly anticipated Phase III trial results for that melanoma drug. Following the poor trial results, Incyte announced it would halt the study given that its product failed to show any benefit in conjunction with another cancer immunotherapy drug. At the end of June 2018, the company reported an end to another one of its drugs, REACH1, after the drug reported a low response rate. Despite these setbacks, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that Incyte’s risk/reward profile was attractive given what we see as the company’s strong base business, deep pipeline and reasonable valuation.

In April 2018, the stock of Philip Morris International declined sharply following a disappointing quarterly earnings announcement. Its earnings per share beat market estimates,

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

but its top line revenue was lower than market expectations, driven primarily by disappointing results in the company’s iQOS segment and in its organic sales. (iQOS is a relatively new type of electronic smokeless cigarette.) Later in the Reporting Period, the company raised its quarterly dividend by more than 6% and finished a study concluding its iQOS segment was meeting its primary objective. Despite the disappointing annual results, at the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to be positive on the company’s share in the iQOS market and believe the product’s healthier approach to tobacco usage may also grant it significant domestic market share. We also continued to feel the company provides best-in-class pricing, was attractively valued and pays an above-market dividend. We maintained our view that the company is a high quality franchise, well positioned to benefit from an improved macroeconomic backdrop.

What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks?

Among those stocks the Fund benefited most from relative to the Russell Index were positions in payments company MasterCard, genetics company Illumina and athletic apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories company Nike.

MasterCard’s earnings announcements throughout the Reporting Period consistently beat market estimates on both revenue and earnings per share, driven by higher processed transactions and an increase in gross dollar volume. Its stock also benefited from strong performance across the information technology sector broadly and payment companies more specifically during the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic on the company’s ability to grow its core payments business through new client wins and to further differentiate itself by expanding to new growth areas, such as consumer credit and peer-to-peer lending. We also were positive both on the company’s plans to accelerate investments, driven by the savings from recent tax reform and on what we see as MasterCard’s strong operating trends, which we believe position it well relative to competitors.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

positive on the company’s continued focus on innovation and product development, which we believe is stronger than it has been in the recent past. In our view, Nike has a resilient business model, with diverse product offerings, global channels, market share gains and meaningful share buybacks. We continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that the company is a best-in-class franchise in a structurally healthy and growing category, and we were positive on the company’s long-term growth potential.

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

During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy.

Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, we initiated a Fund position in Visa, a global leader in the provision of payment services. We feel confident the company will continue to benefit from several secular growth themes as transaction volume continues to shift toward electronic payments. We also view the company favorably as it may invest in multiple services and geographic regions, which we think provides several potential sources of growth. Finally, we feel the stock was trading, at the time of purchase, at attractive levels given its growth prospects.

Conversely, we exited the Fund’s position in media and entertainment company Walt Disney Co. (“Disney”). While we continue to feel Disney has a strong brand name with good fundamentals and a commitment to share buybacks, we became less positive on the company moving forward given increasing competition and cord-cutting headwinds. We therefore decided to exit the position and allocate the capital to other ideas with what we considered to be more compelling risk/reward profiles.

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

Effective January 9, 2018, Timothy M. Leahy no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund. Steven M. Barry and Stephen E. Becker continue to serve as portfolio managers of the Fund.

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

In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to information technology and materials increased and its allocations to consumer discretionary, consumer staples, financials and real estate decreased relative to the Russell Index.

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

At the end of August 2018, the Fund had an overweighted allocation relative to the Russell Index in health care and underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in financials and industrials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted in the remaining sectors of the Russell Index, with the exceptions of telecommunication services and utilities where the Fund had no positions at all at the end of the Reporting Period.

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 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. Because Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

Goldman Sachs Technology Opportunities Fund

Portfolio Composition

The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowing for investment purposes (measured at time of purchase) in equity investments in technology companies. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, in approximately 30-40 companies that are considered by the Investment Adviser to benefit from the proliferation of technology. Although the Fund invests primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 25% of its total assets measured at the time of purchase in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in countries with emerging markets or economies and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest in privately held companies and companies that only recently began to trade publicly.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Effective July 2, 2018, the Goldman Sachs Technology Opportunities Fund’s (the “Fund”) benchmark index was changed from the S&P North American Technology Sector Index to the NASDAQ Composite Total Return Index. The Investment Adviser believes that the NASDAQ Composite Total Return Index is a more appropriate index against which to measure performance in light of the Fund’s investment strategy. Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Technology Opportunities Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service and Investor Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 30.46%, 29.49%, 30.95%, 30.28% and 30.76%, respectively. These returns compare to the 27.45% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the NASDAQ Composite Total Return Index (the “NASDAQ Composite”), during the same period. The Fund’s former benchmark, the S&P North American Technology Sector Index, returned 38.12% during the same period.

The Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return of 22.73% since their inception on December 29, 2017 through August 31, 2018. This compares to the 18.31% cumulative total return of the NASDAQ Composite during the same time period. The Fund’s former benchmark, the S&P North American Technology Sector Index, returned 25.54% for the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 10.64%. This compares to the 11.85% cumulative total return of the NASDAQ Composite during the same time period. The Fund’s former benchmark, the S&P North American Technology Sector Index, returned 13.03% for the same period.

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

The Fund posted robust double-digit absolute gains that outperformed the NASDAQ Composite on a relative basis during the Reporting Period due to a combination of sector allocation and stock selection overall.

Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

As both the Fund and the NASDAQ Composite have the majority of their respective assets allocated to the information technology sector, broad equity market sector performance generally does not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. That said, effective stock selection in consumer discretionary and health care contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results. Having an underweight to health care and having no exposure to consumer staples, each of which underperformed the NASDAQ Composite during the Reporting Period, also helped. The only two sectors to detract from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were real estate and industrials. Detracting most from the Fund’s relative results was having an overweight to real

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

estate, which significantly underperformed the NASDAQ Composite during the Reporting Period. Having no exposure to industrials, which performed well during the Reporting Period, also hurt.

What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks?

Among those stocks the Fund benefited most from relative to the NASDAQ Composite were positions in cloud-based services provider Service Now, payments company MasterCard and e-commerce giant Amazon.com.

Service Now provides cloud-based services to automate enterprise information technology operations. Early in 2018, the company reported fourth quarter 2017 results with in-line earnings and revenues that were ahead of market estimates. The revenue beat was driven by strong billings growth, as Service Now benefited from both its large existing subscriber base and strength in its new product areas. The strong performance prompted company management to increase its revenue guidance, which was also viewed positively by investors. Its shares rose rather steadily through the remainder of the Reporting Period, as Service Now reported additional quarters of strong subscription billing growth, which we viewed positively as the company continues to execute. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to view the company favorably, as it executes on its mission to bring superior functionality to its clients while also developing new products for its deep base of existing partners. We also remained confident in the company management’s ability to thoughtfully invest as it works to meet its levels of growth.

MasterCard’s earnings announcements throughout the Reporting Period consistently beat market estimates on both revenue and earnings per share, driven by higher processed transactions and an increase in gross dollar volume. Its stock also benefited from strong performance across the information technology sector broadly and payment companies more specifically during the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic on the company’s ability to grow its core payments business through new client wins and to further differentiate itself by expanding to new growth areas, such as consumer credit and peer-to-peer lending. We also were positive both on the company’s plans to accelerate investments, driven by the savings from recent tax reform and on what we see as MasterCard’s strong operating trends, which we believe position it well relative to competitors.

Strong quarterly results throughout the Reporting Period propelled shares of Amazon.com rather consistently higher. More specifically, the company beat market expectations on earnings per share in all four earnings reports announced during the Reporting Period and beat market expectation on revenue in three of the four. With each release, solid growth in Amazon Web Services continually reinforced market participants’ confidence in the company’s cloud segment. The steady appreciation in Amazon.com’s stock price persisted even through spans of broader market volatility in February 2018. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on the company, as it continued to outpace competitors. We also favored its positioning as an innovative growth company, capable, in our view, of disrupting multiple industries. We believed, at the end of the Reporting Period, Amazon.com was poised to benefit from its scale, investment and competitive advantages.

Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the NASDAQ Composite were positions in enterprise information management supplier Oracle, wireless communications and broadcast tower real estate investment trust (“REIT”) American Tower and Chinese provider of online and mobile marketplaces in retail and wholesale trade Alibaba Group Holdings.

Oracle’s shares sold off sharply in March 2018 following an under whelming earnings report in which the company reported weaker than market expected total revenue, primarily driven by softness in its cloud business. The company then reported earnings in June 2018 that were better than market expectations on both top line revenue and earnings per share — with good guidance as well. However, its cloud revenue, one of the main drivers of growth for the company, was slightly weaker than market estimates, and Oracle also announced it would stop disclosing cloud revenue, which both we and the market viewed as a negative. Our original investment thesis for Oracle was based on the company’s ability to transition its installed user base to its cloud business, potentially leading to multiple expansion. However, the now less transparent reporting structure led us to lose confidence in the company’s cloud business and our ability to monitor it. Given this change and the relatively slower growth in other parts of its business, we decided to exit the position and allocate capital elsewhere.

During the first half of the Reporting Period, American Tower’s stock experienced some volatility, as investors

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

expected additional interest rate hikes in 2018, the effect of which was interpreted negatively. The company also announced mixed quarterly results at the end of February 2018, causing its stock to drop slightly. Since then, volatility has persisted, but American Tower’s shares actually made gains in tandem with two successive earnings reports that highlighted revenue and earnings per share numbers above the market’s expectations. Thus, the Fund’s underweight position in the stock compared to the NASDAQ Composite drove the company to be a top detractor. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained our view that American Tower may benefit from secular trends toward growing data usage, taking advantage of its dominant market share, global expansion and additional investment opportunities to fuel long-term growth. With recurring revenue streams, strong organic leasing growth and what we consider to be an attractive valuation relative to its peers, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that American Tower remained a high quality and durable growth company.

Alibaba Group Holding was a new position for the Fund during the Reporting Period. Unfortunately, shortly after being added to the Fund’s portfolio, its stock came under pressure due to increased investor concerns regarding the strength of the Chinese economy and trade frictions with the U.S. The company also reported earnings late in the Reporting Period that came in below investor expectations due to a one-time stock compensation charge. Despite these macro concerns, we continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that what we see as the company’s robust, proprietary data sets, coupled with China’s positive regulatory stance on artificial intelligence and machine learning, position Alibaba Group Holdings to be a leader in this increasingly important technology. Additionally, we were optimistic that the company’s total addressable market would likely continue to expand as the company leverages its data to enter adjacent, less developed markets.

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

During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy.

Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period?

In addition to the purchase of Alibaba Group Holdings, mentioned earlier, we initiated a Fund position in Visa, a global leader in the provision of payment services. We feel confident the company will continue to benefit from several secular growth themes as transaction volume continues to shift toward electronic payments. We also view the company favorably as it invests in multiple services and geographies, which we think provides several potential sources of growth. Finally, we feel the stock was trading, at the time of purchase, at attractive levels given its growth prospects.

We established a new Fund position in Cisco Systems early in the Reporting Period. Cisco Systems designs, manufactures and sells Internet Protocol-based networking products and services related to the communications and information technology industries. We are positive on the company because of what we see as its effective and stable business model, strong balance sheet and attractive valuation. We believe the company is poised to grow further given what we consider to be a supportive economic backdrop and its own strong product cycle. In our view, Cisco Systems also has robust free cash flow, much of which it has used to return capital to shareholders through stock buybacks.

Conversely, in addition to the sale of Oracle, already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in SBA Communications, a REIT that engages in the provision and ownership of wireless communications infrastructures. Following strong 2017 performance and what we viewed as a less favorable environment for REITs given their sensitivity to rising interest rates, we decided to sell the position. While we continue to like the company and believe it is well positioned to benefit from secular growth themes, we felt there were other companies that presented more attractive risk/reward profiles.

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

Effective January 9, 2018, Lawrence Tankel and Johnathan A. Nietzell no longer served as portfolio managers for the Fund, and Sung Cho and Charles “Brook” Dane became portfolio managers for the Fund. Steven M. Barry and Michael DeSantis continue to serve as portfolio managers of the Fund.

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

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to information technology and health care increased relative to the NASDAQ Composite and its relative exposures to real estate and financials decreased. The Fund’s position in cash increased during the Reporting Period.

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

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 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. Because Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P 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 tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

⁷

The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from the percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”), however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value. The graph depicts the Fund’s investments but may not represent the Fund’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedule of Investments.

Performance Summary

August 31, 2018

The following graph shows the value as of August 31, 2018, of a $10,000 investment made on September 1, 2008 in Class A Shares at NAV (with the maximum sales charge of 5.50%). For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s current benchmark, the NASDAQ Composite Total Return Index, and the Fund’s former benchmark, the S&P North American Technology Sector Index, are 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 C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P and Class R6 Shares will vary from Class A 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.

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
Capital Growth, Growth Opportunities, Small/Mid Cap Growth and Strategic Growth	A, C, Institutional, Service, Investor, P*, R and R6	Diversified
Blue Chip** Concentrated Growth and Flexible Cap	A, C, Institutional, Investor, P*, R and R6	Diversified
Technology Opportunities	A, C, Institutional, Service, Investor, P* and R6***	Diversified

Commenced operations on April 17, 2018.

Formerly known as Goldman Sachs Dynamic U.S. Equity Fund. Effective October 31, 2017, the Fund changed its name to the Goldman Sachs Blue Chip Fund.

***

Commenced operations on December 29, 2017.

Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. 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 P, 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

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.

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

152

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 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 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.

E. Commission Recapture — GSAM, on behalf of certain Funds, may direct portfolio trades, subject to seeking best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to a Fund as cash payments and are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments on the Statements of Operations.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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:

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 the Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

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

C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2018:

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.

6. SECURITIES LENDING

The Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash and/or U.S. Treasury securities collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statements of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

6. SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

The Capital Growth, Flexible Cap, Growth Opportunities, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Strategic Growth, and Technology Opportunities Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Government Money Market Fund, an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% (prior to February 21, 2018, GSAM may have received a management fee of up to 0.205%) on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.

In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash and/or U.S. Treasury securities collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash and/or U.S. Treasury securities collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Funds’ loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash and/or U.S. Treasury securities received. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of August 31, 2018, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

Each of the Funds and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

The following table provides information about the Funds’ investments in the Government Money Market Fund for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018:

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

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


Fund	Paid-in Capital		Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)			Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)
Blue Chip	$	—	$	257		$	(257	)

Strategic Growth		—		5,809			(5,809	)
Technology Opportunities		—		(3,100,610	)		3,100,610

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 losses, redemptions utilized as distributions, dividend re-designations and the differences in the tax treatment of the underlying fund investments, real estate investments and partnership investments.

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

8. OTHER RISKS

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

Foreign 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.

Industry Concentration Risk — The Technology Opportunities Fund invests primarily in equity investments in high-quality technology, media, or service companies that adopt or use technology to improve their cost structure, revenue opportunities or competitive advantage. Because of its focus on technology, media and service companies, the Technology Opportunities Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors. The Technology Opportunities Fund may also invest in a relatively few number of issuers. Thus, the Technology Opportunities 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an 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.

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.

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.

9. INDEMNIFICATIONS

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Funds’ fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.

Other than noted above, 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 Goldman Sachs Blue Chip Fund (formerly Goldman Sachs Dynamic U.S. Equity Fund), Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund, Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund, and Goldman Sachs Technology Opportunities Fund:

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs Blue Chip Fund (formerly Goldman Sachs Dynamic U.S. Equity Fund), Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund, Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund, and Goldman Sachs Technology Opportunities Fund (eight of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 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 each of the Funds as of August 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 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 Opinions

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 August 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 opinions.

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

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, 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 Shares); and other Fund expenses. The example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares of the Portfolios 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 March 1, 2018 through August 31, 2018, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year (136 out of 365 days for Class P Shares, which commenced operations on April 17, 2018). The Class P example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from March 1, 2018 through August 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.

Investment Performance

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2017, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2018. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods. The Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. The Trustees also received information comparing the Concentrated Growth, Growth Opportunities, Small/Mid Cap Growth, and Strategic Growth Funds performance to that of composites of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser.

The Trustees noted that the Blue Chip Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the fourth quartile of the Fund’s peer group and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees also noted that in October 2017 the Fund had been repositioned from the Dynamic U.S. Equity Fund, which involved changes to the Fund’s investment strategy. The Trustees observed that the Blue Chip Fund had experienced certain portfolio management changes in the first half of 2018. The Trustees noted that the Capital Growth Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period and underperformed for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees observed that the Concentrated Growth Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the third quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, five-, and ten-year periods and in the fourth quartile for the three-year period, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees also noted that the Capital Growth Fund and Concentrated Growth Fund had experienced certain portfolio management changes in the first half of 2018. The Trustees noted that the Flexible Cap Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the five- and ten-year periods and in the third quartile for the one- and three-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one- and ten-year periods and underperformed for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees also noted that in August 2017 the Flexible Cap Fund had been repositioned from the Flexible Cap Growth Fund, which involved changes to the Fund’s investment strategy, benchmark, and portfolio management. The Trustees observed that the Growth Opportunities Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one- and ten-year periods and in the third quartile for the three- and five-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period and underperformed for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees also observed that the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, five-, and ten-year periods and placed in the third quartile for the three-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one- and ten-year periods and underperformed for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees also noted that the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund had experienced certain portfolio management changes in 2017. The Trustees observed that the Strategic Growth Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period and underperformed for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees considered that the Technology Opportunities Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one-year period and in the third quartile for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees noted that the Technology Opportunities Fund had certain significant differences from the Fund’s benchmark index that caused it to be an imperfect basis for comparison. The Trustees also noted that the Strategic Growth Fund and Technology Opportunities Fund had experienced certain portfolio management changes in the first half of 2018. The Trustees observed that in January 2018, the Investment Adviser had combined the U.S. Growth and U.S. Value portfolio management teams into a single U.S. Equity portfolio management team and had made certain personnel changes with respect to the Growth Funds’ portfolio management teams in connection with that restructuring.

which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as registered mutual funds.

In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee and breakpoints to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Fund’s transfer agency, custody, and distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.

With respect to the Capital Growth, Concentrated Growth, Flexible Cap, Growth Opportunities, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Strategic Growth, and Technology Opportunities Funds, the Trustees noted that the management fee breakpoint schedules had been reduced at all asset levels since the Management Agreement was last approved. In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. The Trustees also noted that certain changes were being made to existing fee waiver or expense limitation arrangements of the Flexible Cap, Growth Opportunities, Small/Mid Cap Growth, and Technology Opportunities Funds that would have the effect of increasing expenses of Class A, Class C, Investor, and Class R Shares of the Flexible Cap Fund, decreasing total fund expenses of the Growth Opportunities Fund, and decreasing expenses of Class A, Class C, Investor, and Class R Shares of the Small/Mid Cap Growth and Technology Opportunities Funds, with such changes taking effect in connection with the Funds’ next annual registration statement update. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.

Profitability

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for each of the Funds at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Funds:


Average Daily Net Assets	Blue Chip Fund			Capital Growth Fund			Concentrated Growth Fund			Flexible Cap Fund
First $1 billion		0.55	%		0.71	%		0.76	%		0.55	%
Next $1 billion		0.50			0.64			0.68			0.50
Next $3 billion		0.47			0.61			0.65			0.47
Next $3 billion		0.46			0.61			0.64			0.46
Over $8 billion		0.45			0.61			0.62			0.45

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS

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


Average Daily Net Assets	Growth Opportunities Fund			Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund			Strategic Growth Fund			Technology Opportunities Fund
First $1 billion		0.92	%		0.85	%		0.71	%		0.94	%
Next $1 billion		0.92			0.85			0.64			0.85
Next $3 billion		0.83			0.77			0.61			0.80
Next $3 billion		0.79			0.73			0.59			0.79
Over $8 billion		0.77			0.71			0.58			0.77

The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Funds and their shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Funds; the Funds’ recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels, as well as Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC’s (“Goldman Sachs”) undertaking to waive a portion of the transfer agency fees paid by the Blue Chip, Concentrated Growth, Flexible Cap, Growth Opportunities, and Small/Mid Cap Growth Funds’ Class A, Class C, Investor, Class R, and Class T Shares, as applicable. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels. They also noted that the Investment Adviser had passed along savings to shareholders of the Growth Opportunities and Small/Mid Cap Growth Funds, which had asset levels above at least the first breakpoint during the prior fiscal year.

Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates

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

judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until June 30, 2019.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY VALUE FUNDS

What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs Value Strategies’ Investment Process?

Goldman Sachs’ Fundamental Equity Value Strategies Team (the “Team”) believes that all successful investing should thoughtfully weigh two important attributes of a stock: price and prospects. Through independent fundamental research, the Team seeks to identify and invest in quality businesses that are selling at compelling valuations.

LOGO

At the heart of our value investment philosophy is a belief in the rigorous analysis of business fundamentals. Our approach may include:

∎

Meetings with management teams and on-site company visits

∎

Industry-specific, proprietary financial and valuation models

∎

Assessment of management quality

∎

Analysis of each company’s competitive position and industry dynamics

∎

Interviews with competitors, suppliers and customers

LOGO

We seek to invest in companies when we believe:

∎

Market uncertainty exists

∎

Their economic value is not recognized by the market

LOGO

We seek to buy companies with quality characteristics. For us, this means companies that have:

∎

Sustainable operating earnings, or competitive advantage

∎

Excellent stewardship of capital

∎

Capability to earn above their cost of capital

∎

Strong or improving balance sheets and cash flow

LOGO

Market Review

MARKET REVIEW

three it had indicated in March 2018. Fed Chair Powell was also slightly hawkish in his June press conference. Still-escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China hurt market sentiment, with the U.S. threatening tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods and China vowing to retaliate. All told, then, the S&P 500 Index produced modestly positive but rather flat returns for the month of June 2018.

Market volatility was high in July 2018, driven both by the heightened trade rhetoric between the U.S. and China as well as between the U.S. and key allies and by strong U.S. macroeconomic data relative to other developed and emerging markets. The U.S. economy grew 4.2% year over year in the second calendar quarter, its fastest annualized pace since 2004. July also marked the 100th month of economic expansion, a streak one year away from becoming the longest in U.S. history. U.S. equities then reached an all-time high in August 2018, with strong domestic economic data outweighing headwinds posed by moderating global economic growth and escalating trade and diplomatic tensions.

Looking Ahead

At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed broad-based economic growth and strong corporate earnings fostered a positive environment for U.S. equities. We further believed that, although elevated, valuations were justified by strong earnings potential, given robust double-digit first and second quarter 2018 earnings growth. Progressing into the remaining months of 2018, we expect continued earnings growth potential on the back of favorable fiscal policy and realized upside from the December 2017-enacted tax reform stimulus. In our view, interest rates still have room to increase before they become a material headwind for U.S. equities, as we believe increasing rates reflect improving economic growth prospects, which also boost corporate earnings. All told, then, we believe U.S. equities continue to offer a reasonable risk premium over other asset classes. Additionally, after several years of thematic-driven markets, we were excited at the end of the Reporting Period about the divergence of global economies, heightened volatility and lower correlations at the stock levels, for we believe these factors can be a tailwind to our active investment management approach.

Indeed, regardless of market direction, our fundamental, bottom-up stock selection continues to drive our process, rather than headlines or sentiment. We maintain high conviction in the companies the Funds own and believe they have the potential to outperform relative to the broader market regardless of economic growth conditions. We continue to focus on undervalued companies that we believe have comparatively greater control of their own destiny, such as innovators with differentiated products, companies with low cost structures or companies that have been investing in their own businesses and may be poised to gain market

share. We maintain our discipline in identifying companies with what we believe to be strong or improving balance sheets, led by quality management teams and trading at discounted valuations. We remain focused on the long-term performance of the Funds.

As always, deep research resources, a forward-looking investment process and truly actively managed portfolios are keys, in our view, to both preserving capital and outperforming the market over the long term.

Changes to the Funds’ Portfolio Management Team during the Reporting Period

Effective January 9, 2018, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) centralized its Fundamental Equity U.S. Value and Fundamental Equity U.S. Growth Teams into a single Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team. These changes did not impact Goldman Sachs Small Cap Fund and Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Value Fund, as they continue to be managed by the Small Cap Value Team. The Investment Adviser believes these changes will benefit the Funds by providing a more holistic investment perspective and the ability to leverage investment ideas across the U.S. Fundamental Equity platform.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Goldman Sachs Equity Income Fund

Portfolio Composition

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in equity investments that the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team considers to have favorable prospects for capital appreciation and/or dividend-paying ability. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, including preferred and convertible securities, it may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations, that offer the potential to further the Fund’s investment objective of long-term capital appreciation and growth of income.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Equity Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

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 10.88%, 10.06%, 11.30%, 10.77%, 11.15%, 10.59% and 11.34%, respectively. These returns compare to the 12.47% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000^® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 4.84%. This compares to the 4.72% cumulative total return of the Russell Index during the same time period.

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

The Fund posted solid double-digit absolute gains, but stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole contributed positively, albeit modestly.

Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

The sectors that detracted most from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were telecommunication services, energy and consumer staples, wherein stock selection proved challenging. Having an overweight to consumer staples, which was the weakest sector in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. Contributing positively to the Fund’s relative results was having an overweight to information technology, the best performing sector in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Effective stock selection in the information technology, health care and financials sectors also added value.

Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in semiconductor company Intel, enterprise information management supplier Oracle and multi-national consumer goods corporation Procter & Gamble.

Intel’s stock experienced strong performance during the Reporting Period. However, the Fund only owned it for a portion of the time and had an underweight position, thus causing it to detract from relative results. The strong performance of Intel’s stock was driven by strong earnings results as well as by strength in the information technology sector broadly. While we remained positive on Intel’s data center business and improved cost controls, we exited the Fund’s position during the Reporting Period in favor of what we believed to be better risk/reward opportunities elsewhere.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

company then reported earnings in June 2018 that were better than market expectations on both top line revenue and earnings per share—with good guidance as well. However, its cloud revenue, one of the main drivers of growth for the company, was slightly weaker than market estimates, and Oracle also announced it would stop disclosing cloud revenue, which both we and the market viewed as a negative. Our original investment thesis for Oracle was based on the company’s ability to transition its installed user base to its cloud business, potentially leading to what we saw as more compelling price/earnings ratios. However, the now less transparent reporting structure led us to lose confidence in the company’s cloud business and our ability to monitor it. Given this change and the relatively slower growth in other parts of its business, we decided to exit the position and allocate capital elsewhere.

A majority of Procter & Gamble’s stock price decline came in January and February 2018 in response to a mixed earnings report, with organic sales guidance increasing but margins decreasing. Its stock price decreased again in mid-April 2018 in response to weaker than market expected organic growth and weaker net sales in certain key business units. We believe this poor performance was due to headwinds from a stronger U.S. dollar and emerging market volatility, which we view as a short-term concern rather than affecting our long-term view. Nevertheless, by the end of the Reporting Period, we sold the Fund’s position in Procter & Gamble and reallocated proceeds to higher conviction opportunities.

What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks?

The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in software giant Microsoft, technology hardware manufacturer Cisco Systems and pharmaceuticals company Pfizer.

Microsoft is a technology company that engages in the development and marketing of software and hardware services. The majority of its performance occurred when its first quarter 2018 earnings results came through better than market expected on broad-based strength, highlighted by its commercial cloud business pushing above the company’s $20 billion target three quarters ahead of schedule. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained confident the company was executing well in its ongoing emphasis on becoming a leader in cloud computing, effectively migrating its customer base and expanding its addressable market with growth.

Cisco Systems designs, manufactures and sells Internet Protocol-based networking products and services related to the communications and information technology industries. Early in the fall of 2017, its shares appreciated after the company announced it was acquiring BroadSoft to join its unified communications group. Further share price increases occurred in February 2018 when the company reported strong quarterly results, beating market expectations for revenue and earnings per share. Its margins were also better than market expected, and company management gave higher future earnings guidance and announced a dividend increase. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were positive on the trajectory of the company, with its ongoing transition to a more recurring business model. We also continued to believe Cisco Systems is a high quality company, with what we consider to be a strong balance sheet, robust free cash flow and proven business model positioning it well moving forward.

Pfizer develops and produces medicines and vaccines for a wide range of medical disciplines. In late January and early February 2018, its stock depreciated slightly after announcing fourth quarter 2017 earnings results with a consensus miss on revenue due to one-time price adjustments on European Union sales. Its stock was able to recover and move higher as the Reporting Period progressed. In July 2018, Pfizer’s stock jumped significantly on the news of the Food and Drug Administration approving its biosimilar drug NIVESTYM. In our view, at the end of the Reporting Period, the company held a strong balance sheet with a large amount of cash providing its pragmatic management with the financial flexibility to invest for growth or return capital to shareholders. We remained positive on Pfizer at the end of the Reporting Period given what we saw as its attractive valuation, its optionality to deploy global cash flows and its structurally lower tax rate. (In business, optionality is the value of additional optional investment opportunities available only after having made an initial investment.)

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

During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy.

Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, we established a Fund position in Medtronic, a medical technology company that specializes in cardiac vascular, minimally invasive, restorative and

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

diabetes solutions. We initiated the position given what we see as strong demand in cardiovascular end-markets, and we believe Medtronic has the opportunity to narrow its discounted valuation if its management executes on guidance and consistent margin improvement.

Toward the end of 2017, we initiated a Fund position in the newly merged company DowDuPont. The company had been subject to scrutiny regarding its overhead cost structure and below-peer segment margins. With the appointment of Ed Breen to Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), we believe such matters will finally be addressed. In our view, Breen is committed to improving working capital, reducing capital expenditures and introducing a higher level of rigor into the company’s decision-making process. We believe synergies associated with the consolidated businesses are likely to account for some of the cost savings opportunities.

Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in diversified conglomerate General Electric. While we believe its stock could provide optionality in the longer term, we sold the position following the restructuring framework announcement made by CEO John Flannery in November 2017, which included cutting its dividend by 50%, increasing its cost reduction targets and spinning off approximately $20 billion worth of assets during the next one to two years with the goal of enabling General Electric to focus on its core businesses of aviation, health care and power. We allocated the proceeds from the sale to higher conviction names in the Fund’s portfolio, which we believe offer a more attractive risk/reward profile.

We eliminated the Fund’s position in American International Group, a global insurance company. Its stock was negatively affected in early November 2017, when the company reported weaker third quarter 2017 earnings than the market expected. Its after-tax operating loss was beyond market estimates, driven by a high level of catastrophe losses in its commercial insurance segment. Following an increase to reserves in the third quarter of 2017, which negatively affected the equity portion of its balance sheet, we decided to sell the Fund’s position in American International Group to hedge against more reserve increases.

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

Effective September 30, 2018, Sean Gallagher will be retiring from Goldman Sachs and will no longer serve as a portfolio manager for the Fund. Dan Lochner and Charles “Brook” Dane will continue to serve as portfolio managers for the Fund.

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

In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the Russell Index in health care, utilities and real estate increased. The Fund’s exposure to financials, information technology, consumer staples, industrials and consumer discretionary decreased compared to the Russell Index. The Fund’s position in cash decreased.

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

At the end of August 2018, the Fund had overweight positions relative to the Russell Index in the health care, information technology and utilities sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweight positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary and financials and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer staples, energy, industrials, telecommunication services, materials and real estate.

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 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. Because Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, 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 tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced.

Goldman Sachs Focused Value Fund

Portfolio Composition

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at time of purchase) in a diversified portfolio of equity investments, including common stocks, preferred stocks and other securities and instruments having equity characteristics. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, in approximately 20-35 companies that are considered value opportunities, which the Investment Adviser defines as companies with identifiable competitive advantages whose intrinsic value is not reflected in the stock price. The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any capitalization. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in countries with emerging markets or economies (“emerging countries”) and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may invest in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Focused Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

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 8.64%, 7.87%, 9.06%, 9.01%, 8.35% and 9.06%, respectively. These returns compare to the 12.47% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000^® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 5.79%. This compares to the 4.72% cumulative total return of the Russell Index during the same time period.

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

The Fund posted solid absolute gains but underperformed the Russell Index on a relative basis due primarily to stock selection as a whole. Sector allocation overall contributed positively to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period.

Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

The sectors that most meaningfully detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were energy, industrials and health care, wherein stock selection proved challenging. Partially offsetting these detractors was effective stock selection in financials, which contributed positively. Having underweight allocations to utilities and consumer staples, among the weakest sectors in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also buoyed the Fund’s relative results.

Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in multi-national pharmaceutical company Allergan; natural gas, natural gas liquids and petroleum exploration company Devon Energy; and biotechnology-firm Celgene.

The majority of Allergan’s weak performance during the Reporting Period came in October 2017 when the District Court for the Eastern District of Texas invalidated the company’s second largest product’s patent, which significantly affected the company’s earnings growth in 2018. Additionally, poor drug testing results hurt its returns throughout the Reporting Period. Given its management’s strategic review, focused on bolstering its profitable product lines while potentially divesting less successful areas of the company, we continued to hold the stock for a time. However, ultimately, the strategic review yielded only limited results, and so we decided there were better risk/reward opportunities elsewhere, and we sold out of the position in April 2018.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Devon Energy was a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period. Its share price decline can be attributed primarily to February 2018 when the company reported weak fourth quarter 2017 earnings, driven largely by missed production expectations of the market and disappointing 2018 guidance. We believed the value of the company’s large North American asset base was not fully recognized at the stock’s then-current price. However, we decided to exit the Fund’s position in Devon Energy in favor of what we considered to be more compelling risk-adjusted opportunities elsewhere. In May 2018, we re-initiated a Fund position in Devon Energy on the basis that we became more optimistic on its operations returning to a strong level, with future share repurchases returning capital to shareholders. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company’s U.S. onshore execution was coming through positively and that capital returns may well provide downside support, with the likelihood of more buybacks happening during the remainder of 2018 and into the first half of 2019 from the sale of additional assets.

Celgene is focused primarily on oncology and immune inflammatory-related diseases. While we believe Celgene has an attractive balance sheet as well as robust free cash flow that has been consistently used to repurchase shares and perform targeted acquisitions, we exited the Fund’s position in Celgene following its announcement that one of its pipeline drugs showed no efficacy in Crohn’s disease, which could have added billions of dollars of sales by 2027. We no longer believed the stock reflected an appropriate risk/reward balance.

What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks?

The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in software giant Microsoft, equipment and system services company for the transit and freight rail industry Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies (“Wabtec”) and pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly & Company.

Microsoft, a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, is a technology company that engages in the development and marketing of software and hardware services. The majority of its performance occurred when its first quarter 2018 earnings results came through better than market expected on broad-based strength, highlighted by its commercial cloud business pushing above the company’s $20 billion target three quarters ahead of schedule. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained confident the company was executing well in its ongoing emphasis on becoming a leader in cloud computing, effectively migrating its customer base and expanding its addressable market with growth.

Wabtec was another new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period. Wabtec’s strong performance during the Reporting Period was highlighted by strategic acquisitions. In October 2017, the company announced it had acquired AM General Contractor, a European manufacturer of safety systems. Its stock then appreciated again in April 2018 when Wabtec announced its intentions to acquire General Electric’s transport business and again when the deal was finalized in May 2018. The market appeared to view the acquisition positively, as it could increase cash and provide structural synergies. Wabtec’s stock was additionally supported by the company’s re-affirmation of its 2018 financial guidance and long-term financial targets, which continued to be ahead of market consensus. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were positive on the company’s recent acquisitions and believed the company had the potential to explore additional opportunities that could unlock further synergies. In our view, Wabtec presented one of the most attractive risk/reward opportunities amongst its peers, and we remained positive on what we saw as its strong growth prospects across its global end-markets.

Eli Lilly & Company was also a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period. Eli Lilly & Company’s stock experienced much of its strong performance during the second quarter of 2018, when it rallied after the company reported exceptionally strong first quarter 2018 results. The company beat investor expectations on both earnings per share and revenues while also raising full year guidance. The results were driven by broad-based strength across its major products. It was also announced the company plans to launch its Initial Public Offering for its animal health business, which we believe may well prove to be a value accretive decision. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on Eli Lilly & Company given what we view as its strong history of innovation and solid upcoming pipeline. We saw its margins expanding as new drugs improve its overall product mix. We believe Eli Lilly & Company is a high quality company with leading franchises, strong growth prospects and an improving financial profile.

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

During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period?

We established a Fund position in Berkshire Hathaway, a multinational conglomerate holding company. We purchased the stock due to the company’s collection of high quality businesses and its management team’s proven track record of successful capital allocation. Additionally, we are constructive on the company’s strong balance sheet, which provides, in our view, the ability to deploy excess cash toward value-enhancing acquisitions.

Conversely, in addition to those sales mentioned earlier, we eliminated the Fund’s position in integrated energy company Exxon Mobil. We had purchased the stock as we were positive on the company’s integrated business model and its management team’s ability to identify value accretive acquisitions. While we continued to believe Exxon Mobil is a high quality company, we became less optimistic on its restructuring process as well as on its narrower mix of assets. We decided to sell the position to reflect our risk/reward views and used the proceeds to purchase stock in Chevron, a company we believe offers more compelling risk-adjusted opportunities over the long term.

We exited the Fund’s position in diversified conglomerate General Electric. While we believe its stock could provide optionality in the longer term, we sold the position following the restructuring framework announcement made by CEO John Flannery in November 2017, which included cutting its dividend by 50%, increasing its cost reduction targets and spinning off approximately $20 billion worth of assets during the next one to two years with the goal of enabling General Electric to focus on its core businesses of aviation, health care and power. (In business, optionality is the value of additional optional investment opportunities available only after having made an initial investment.) We allocated the proceeds from the sale to higher conviction names in the Fund’s portfolio, which we believe offer a more attractive risk/reward profile.

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

John Arege, Managing Director, left the firm. John shared co-lead portfolio management responsibilities for the Fund with Sean Gallagher, Co-Chief Investment Officer of the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Team. Sean, who continued to serve as lead portfolio manager for the Fund, drew upon the combined team for idea generation and make final investment decisions. John’s sector responsibilities in financials and energy were absorbed by members of the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Team.

Sean Gallagher then announced his retirement from Goldman Sachs on July 17, 2018 to be effective September 30, 2018, at which time Sean will no longer serve as a portfolio manager for the Fund. In addition, effective July 17, 2018, Charles “Brook” Dane serves as a portfolio manager for the Fund. Brook has worked closely with Sean on the Fund’s strategy since 2010 as a senior member of the team. He joined the Fundamental Equity team in 2010 and has 26 years of industry experience.

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

In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the Russell Index in consumer staples, telecommunication services, materials, real estate and utilities increased. The Fund’s exposure to the financials, health care, information technology, industrials, consumer discretionary and energy sectors decreased compared to the Russell Index. The Fund’s position in cash decreased.

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

At the end of August 2018, the Fund was overweight in information technology and materials relative to the Russell Index. On the same date, the Fund was underweight in real estate and financials and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in health care, industrials, consumer discretionary, energy, consumer staples, telecommunication services and utilities at the end of August 2018.

Performance Summary

August 31, 2018

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on July 31, 2015 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index (with dividends 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 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 P, 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 Large Cap Value Fund

Portfolio Composition

The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in large-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell 1000^® Value Index at the time of investment. The Fund seeks its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation by investing in value opportunities that the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team defines as companies with identifiable competitive advantages whose intrinsic value is not reflected in the stock price. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, including preferred and convertible securities, it may invest up to 20% of its net assets in foreign securities, including securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

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 9.29%, 8.46%, 9.65%, 9.15%, 9.61%, 9.05% and 9.67%, respectively. These returns compare to the 12.47% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000^® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 5.38%. This compares to the 4.72% cumulative total return of the Russell Index during the same time period.

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

The Fund generated solid absolute gains, but stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period.

Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

Detracting most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index were consumer discretionary, energy and health care, wherein stock selection was comparatively weak. Partially offsetting these detractors was the positive contribution made by having an overweighted allocation to information technology, the best performing sector in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Also boosting relative results was having underweight allocations to consumer staples and utilities, among the weakest sectors in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period.

Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in multi-national pharmaceutical company Allergan, diversified conglomerate General Electric and semiconductor company Intel.

The majority of Allergan’s weak performance during the Reporting Period came in October 2017 when the Court for the Eastern District of Texas invalidated the company’s second largest product’s patent, which significantly affected the company’s earnings growth in 2018. Additionally, poor drug testing results hurt its returns throughout the Reporting Period. Given its management’s strategic review, focused on bolstering its profitable product lines while potentially divesting less successful areas of the company, we continued to hold the stock for a time. However, ultimately, the strategic review yielded only limited results, and so we decided there were better risk/reward opportunities elsewhere, and we sold out of the position in April 2018.

General Electric announced earnings in October 2017 that missed market estimates on earnings per share, driven by

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

weakness in its power and oil and gas segments. The company also cut its 2017 guidance, which caused the stock to decline. Its stock fell further in November 2017 as new restructuring and financial tightening goals were announced. General Electric reduced its dividend by 50% and announced plans to focus on its core businesses of aviation, health care and power by selling or spinning off approximately $20 billion worth of assets. The company also announced intentions of changing the corporate culture to focus more on profitability, cash flow and execution. While we continued to believe the company was an attractively valued, high quality business, we felt its risk/reward prospects had shifted and decided to exit the position. We believed the potential near-term volatility of the company’s shares outweighed the longer-term reward, and it had minimal catalysts in the near term and a challenging turnaround ahead. Additionally, General Electric, in our opinion, is likely to be less of a beneficiary from tax reform than other companies, as it already had a low effective tax rate. For all these reasons, we decided to eliminate the position and allocate the capital elsewhere.

What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks?

The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in equipment and system services company for the transit and freight rail industry Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies (“Wabtec”), U.S.-based bank holding company Bank of America and software giant Microsoft.

Wabtec was a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period. Wabtec’s strong performance during the Reporting Period was highlighted by strategic acquisitions. In October 2017, the company announced it had acquired AM General Contractor, a European manufacturer of safety systems. Its stock then appreciated again in April 2018 when Wabtec announced its intentions to acquire General Electric’s transport business and again when the deal was finalized in May 2018. The market appeared to view the acquisition positively, as it could increase cash and provide structural synergies. Wabtec’s stock was additionally supported by the company’s re-affirmation of its 2018 financial guidance and long-term financial targets, which continued to be ahead of market consensus. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were positive on the company’s recent acquisitions and believed the company had the potential to explore additional opportunities that could unlock further synergies. In our view, Wabtec presented one of the most attractive risk/reward opportunities amongst its peers, and we remained positive on what we saw as its strong growth prospects across its global end-markets.

Bank of America’s strong performance was highlighted by multiple positive earnings results during the Reporting Period. Its stock rose in October 2017 after the company reported third quarter 2017 results that beat consensus expectations driven primarily by operating expense discipline and a benign credit environment. Its stock rose again in January 2018 after the company reported positive fourth quarter 2017 results that beat consensus expectations with continued expense discipline and growing deposits on a year-over-year basis. July 2018 saw much of the same positive results, with the help of loan and deposit growth that outpaced its competition. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on what we saw as the company’s solid banking fundamentals, healthy loan prospects and strong capital positioning. Additionally, we believe Bank of America was well positioned to capitalize on rising interest rates and potential easing of bank regulations.

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

During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, in addition to those purchases already mentioned, we established a Fund position in Verizon Communications, a provider of wireless telecommunications in the U.S. We initiated the position due to what we saw as the stock’s attractive valuation and based on our increased confidence in the wireless spectrum space. Furthermore, we are encouraged by Verizon’s recent 5G, or fifth-generation, trials, which have showcased the company’s ability to successfully deploy wireless broadband in major test cities, providing a potential avenue for solid recurring revenue growth going forward.

We initiated a Fund position in Berkshire Hathaway, a multinational conglomerate holding company. We purchased the stock due to the company’s collection of high quality businesses and its management team’s proven track record of successful capital allocation. Additionally, we are constructive on the company’s strong balance sheet, which provides, in our view, the ability to deploy excess cash toward value-enhancing acquisitions.

Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we eliminated the Fund’s position in Wells Fargo & Co. In February 2018, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) moved to restrict the company’s size and growth potential in response to poor governance until the company is able to improve its controls. The unprecedented action by the Fed prohibits the bank from growing any larger than its total assets as of the end of 2017. We were disappointed by this event and ultimately decided to remove the Fund’s exposure to the company in light of the poor governance.

We exited the Fund’s position in enterprise software company Oracle. During the Reporting Period, Oracle announced solid earnings and revenues that exceeded market expectations. However, Oracle also announced it would stop disclosing cloud revenue, which both we and the market viewed as a negative. Our original investment thesis for Oracle was based on the company’s ability to transition its installed user base to its cloud business, potentially leading to multiple expansion. However, the now less transparent reporting structure led us to lose confidence in the company’s cloud business and our ability to monitor it. Given this change and the relatively slower growth in other parts of its business, we decided to exit the position and allocate capital elsewhere.

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

John Arege, Managing Director, left the firm. John shared co-lead portfolio management responsibilities for the Fund with Sean Gallagher, Co-Chief Investment Officer of the Goldman Sachs US Equity Team. Charles “Brook” Dane also no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund, effective January 9, 2018. Sean, who continued to serve as lead portfolio manager for the Fund, drew upon the combined team for idea generation and make final investment decisions. John’s sector responsibilities in financials and energy were absorbed by members of the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Team.

Sean Gallagher then announced his retirement from Goldman Sachs on July 17, 2018. Sean continued to manage the Fund with Charles “Brook” Dane, who re-assumed portfolio manager responsibilities effective July 17, 2018, until Sean’s retirement became effective on September 30, 2018. Brook has worked closely with Sean on the Fund’s strategy since 2010 as a senior member of the team. He joined the Fundamental Equity team in 2010 and has 26 years of industry experience.

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

In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the Russell Index in information technology, real estate and utilities increased. The Fund’s exposure to financials, health care, industrials, consumer discretionary and materials decreased compared to the Russell Index. The Fund’s position in cash decreased.

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

At the end of August 2018, the Fund had an overweight position relative to the Russell Index in the information technology sector. On the same date, the Fund had underweight positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer staples, financials and real estate and had rather neutral allocations relative to the Russell Index in health care, industrials, energy, consumer discretionary, materials, telecommunication services and utilities.

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 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. Because Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, 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 tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced.

Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund

Portfolio Composition

The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in mid-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell Midcap^® Value Index at the time of investment. The Fund seeks its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation by investing in value opportunities that the Investment Adviser defines as companies with identifiable competitive advantages whose intrinsic value is not reflected in stock price. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest in the aggregate up to 20% of its net assets in companies with public stock market capitalizations outside the range of companies constituting the Russell Midcap^® Value Index at the time of investment and in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

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 10.68%, 9.86%, 11.13%, 10.58%, 10.98%, 10.43% and 11.10%, respectively. These returns compare to the 12.67% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap^® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 3.93%. This compares to the 6.10% cumulative total return of the Russell Index during the same time period.

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

The Fund posted solid positive absolute returns, but stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole contributed positively to the Fund’s results.

Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

Detracting from the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index was stock selection in consumer discretionary, energy and health care. Partially offsetting these detractors was effective stock selection in the industrials and information technology sectors, which contributed positively. Having an overweight allocation to information technology, which was the best performing sector in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, and having an underweight allocation to real estate, which was among the weakest sectors in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also boosted relative results.

Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in online news and social networking service Twitter, oil and gas exploration and production company EQT and branded online travel services provider Expedia Group.

We established a Fund position in Twitter near the end of the first quarter of 2018, and the stock declined shortly thereafter during the sell-off in most technology and Internet companies, driven by negative sentiment around loose consumer data controls and fears of impending regulation. During the month of May 2018, we exited the Fund’s position in Twitter for what we considered to be more favorable risk/return opportunities elsewhere. However, the remainder of the Reporting Period saw positive stock performance for Twitter, contributing to the detracting effect of the position relative to the Russell Index.

EQT is primarily a natural gas producer in the Appalachian area of the U.S. In our view, EQT faced a variety of

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

idiosyncratic and company-specific issues that were compounded by a challenging natural gas market. While we were originally positive on its acquisition of Rice Energy, it did not yield the results in cost reduction and midstream synergies we had expected. Eventually, following weaker than market expected earnings reported in April 2018, we exited the position in favor of what we saw as better risk/reward opportunities elsewhere.

In late October 2017, shares of Expedia Group came under pressure following a disappointing earnings release in which the company missed market expectations for both earnings and revenues while also lowering its full-year earnings guidance. The weaker than market expected results were explained by the company to be, in part, driven by soft bookings caused by the fall 2017 hurricanes. Lower than expected cash flows from its metasearch business Trivago also drew investor concern. Expedia’s share price declined again in early 2018 following another disappointing earnings release. While the company reported strong booked room nights growth, investors reacted negatively to earnings well below market estimates. Despite what we saw as these temporary headwinds, we continued to be positive on the travel ecosystem and Expedia Group’s newly appointed Chief Executive Officer Mark Okerstrom. Our confidence in Expedia Group was reaffirmed in April 2018 when the stock increased significantly following in-line earnings and revenues that beat market expectations. The company continued to partially recover the value it lost in the first half of the Reporting Period, as its stock price went up again in July 2018 when Expedia Group beat earnings per share market expectations. Additionally, as the stock began to turn around in the second quarter of 2018, we believed there was further room to rise from synergies associated with the company’s December 2015 acquisition of HomeAway, a leading vacation rental company.

What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks?

The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in equipment and system services company for the transit and freight rail industry Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies (“Wabtec”), freight logistics provider XPO Logistics and off-price retailer Burlington Stores.

Wabtec’s strong performance during the Reporting Period was highlighted by strategic acquisitions. In October 2017, the company announced it had acquired AM General Contractor, a European manufacturer of safety systems. Its stock then appreciated again in April 2018 when Wabtec announced its intentions to acquire General Electric’s transport business and again when the deal was finalized in May 2018. The market appeared to view the acquisition positively, as it could increase cash and provide structural synergies. Wabtec’s stock was additionally supported by the company’s re-affirmation of its 2018 financial guidance and long-term financial targets, which continued to be ahead of market consensus. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were positive on the company’s recent acquisitions and believed the company had the potential to explore additional opportunities that could unlock further synergies. In our view, Wabtec presented one of the most attractive risk/reward opportunities amongst its peers, and we remained positive on what we saw as its strong growth prospects across its global end-markets.

Coming off momentum in 2017, the stock of XPO Logistics continued to perform well, as reflected in its three earnings reports released in February, May and July of 2018. These reports increased market confidence and caused appreciation of the company’s stock. XPO Logistics built its backlog through new products, including a real-time, cloud-based freight marketplace and a mobile application to match contract carriers to loads. The company also indicated an impending acquisition toward the end of calendar year 2018. Based on the company’s buildout of technology infrastructure, we believed, at the end of the Reporting Period, the company was positioned competitively for the longer term. In our view, XPO Logistics has leverage to e-commerce, operates well in a fragmented industry and was still undervalued relative to its market value.

Burlington Stores’ stock performance accelerated late in 2017 when the company reported third quarter earnings that had stronger than market expected comparable same-store sales, high single-digit sales and solid adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The company again reported earnings in May 2018 that were better than market estimates on earnings per share and revenue, which caused its stock to jump. Despite challenges to traditional retailers, the off-price space exhibited healthy momentum and increased demand, especially during the holiday season. Specific to Burlington Stores, we believe the company was able to enhance product assortments, including underdeveloped categories, such as home and baby, and shielded against e-commerce cannibalization by virtue of store experience, competitive pricing and faster supply chain.

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

During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period?

We initiated a Fund position in financial services technology company Fidelity National Information Services. The company focuses on retail and institutional banking, payments, asset and wealth management, risk and compliance, consulting and outsourcing solutions. We are positive on the company’s strong earnings and cash flow growth potential and believe a recent pull-back in its stock presented a renewed favorable risk/reward opportunity going forward. We further believe the company may be a beneficiary of tax reform, as it is focused on returning capital to shareholders through stock buybacks.

We established a Fund position in Royal Caribbean Cruises, a global cruise vacation company. We purchased the stock based on our belief that the cruising industry is on a steady incline, primarily due to baby boomers and millennials who continue to value experience-based travel expenditures. Additionally, we are positive on the upcoming regulatory change anticipated for 2019 that, if realized, will require the use of low sulfur fuel in marine vessels, a regulation that, in our view, may serve as a positive tailwind for Royal Caribbean, which already operates on such fuel, and is likely to set the company apart from its peers.

Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we eliminated the Fund’s position in Molson Coors Brewing, a Denver-based company that manufactures and sells beer and other beverages globally. We had initiated a position in the stock based on our positive view toward the company’s acquisition of the remaining 58% of the MillerCoors joint venture it did not already own. The acquisition, which took place in 2016, doubled the company’s size and provided it with access to various distribution opportunities outside the U.S. We exited the position due to increasing concerns the U.S. beer industry is under structural decline with no visible signs of a turnaround. In our view, the cost savings associated with the MillerCoors joint venture in 2016 have been realized, leaving us with no near-term catalyst to support its risk/reward profile, in our opinion.

We exited the Fund’s position in Huntington Bancshares, a regional bank holding company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. We had originally purchased the stock due to what we saw as its attractive valuation, the company’s improving balance sheet, its management team’s commitment to operating leverage, and its differentiated service-oriented consumer/commercial strategy. In our view, increased loan growth, faster than company expected synergies from recent merger and acquisition activity, and regulatory relief would also be positive for its shares. While we continued to believe in its management team at the end of the Reporting Period, we exited the stock, as we believed the consensus 2018 estimates on the company’s performance were overly optimistic, creating a possible risk of downward earnings per share revisions in 2018, which would likely pressure its stock price. As such, we decided to reallocate the proceeds to higher conviction names in the Fund’s portfolio.

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

Effective January 9, 2018, Timothy Ryan no longer serves as a portfolio manager for the Fund. Adam Agress was promoted to co-lead portfolio manager of the Fund, wherein he oversees the portfolio construction and investment research for the Fund, joining portfolio managers Sung Cho and Sean Gallagher.

Sean Gallagher then announced his retirement from Goldman Sachs on July 17, 2018. Sean will continue to provide portfolio guidance and oversight to Adam and Sung, who continue to serve as portfolio managers of the Fund, until his retirement becomes effective on September 30, 2018.

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

In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the Russell Index in financials, real estate and utilities increased. The Fund’s exposure to the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors decreased compared to the Russell Index. The Fund’s position in cash increased.

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

At the end of August 2018, the Fund had an underweight position compared to the Russell Index in consumer staples and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in all of the remaining ten sectors of the Russell Index.

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 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. Because Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, 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 tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects 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.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund

Portfolio Composition

The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in small-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell 2000^® Value Index at the time of investment. Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s investment horizon for ownership of stocks will be two to three years. The Fund seeks its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation by investing in value opportunities that the Investment Adviser defines as companies with identifiable competitive advantages whose intrinsic value is not reflected in stock price. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest in the aggregate up to 20% of its net assets in companies with public stock market capitalizations outside the range of companies constituting the Russell 2000^® Value Index at the time of investment and in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

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 18.15%, 17.26%, 18.62%, 18.02%, 18.44%, 17.85% and 18.63%, respectively. These returns compare to the 20.05% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000^® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 6.71%. This compares to the 10.92% cumulative total return of the Russell Index during the same time period.

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

The Fund posted robust positive double-digit returns but underperformed the Russell Index during the Reporting Period attributable to stock selection overall. Sector allocation as a whole contributed positively, albeit modestly.

Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

Stock selection in the consumer discretionary, materials and energy sectors detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index. Having a position in cash during a Reporting Period when the Russell Index rallied also hurt. Partially offsetting these detractors was effective stock selection in the real estate, information technology and consumer staples sectors, which contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results. Having an underweight allocation to real estate, which lagged the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also helped.

Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in electrical and gas utility Black Hills, facility services provider ABM Industries and roofing and building materials distributor Beacon Roofing Supply.

Black Hills is focused on West Coast markets. Following worse than market expected third quarter 2017 earnings, the company lowered its 2017 earnings forecast based on headwinds associated with unfavorable weather, sluggish commercial and industrial load growth, increased expenses and a more conservative outlook on commercial and industrial electric demand growth. Following weaker than market expected fourth quarter earnings that suppressed its 2018 full year guidance, we decided to sell the Fund’s position in Black Hills.

ABM Industries provides facility services for commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. A majority of its weak performance occurred in December 2017 when the company

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

reported worse than market expected fourth quarter 2017 earnings, affected by the complexity of its GCA Services Group acquisition, one-time costs of hurricanes and termination of an aviation contract. Its stock traded down after its fiscal year outlook was revised downward. For the first and second quarters of 2018, its earnings yielded as expected by the consensus with some continued challenges surrounding the integration of GCA Service Group. Its stock was then further impacted by another revision down of its full year 2018 guidance, given higher wage pressures and interest expenses. In our view, the company has been generating strong free cash flow and has continued to deleverage, giving it a healthy balance sheet. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believe the company was discounted relative to its peers and had the potential for margin expansion.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, Beacon Roofing Supply’s earnings exhibited sales and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) in line with consensus expectations, but its gross margins were softer. Increased input costs depressed its gross margins, leading to a miss on earnings for the first and second quarters of 2018. By the third quarter earnings report in August 2018, Beacon Roofing Supply was able to overcome cost headwinds with better pricing, but the company still missed market expectations due to mild weather and a decline to organic sales in residential roofing. Its stock trended lower again when its management lowered its fiscal year guidance. Due to these headwinds, we reduced the Fund’s position in the company, but we still held conviction in the stock based on what we see as its longer-term fundamentals, including additional synergies from its Allied acquisition. We also had confidence at the end of the Reporting Period in the company’s experienced management team, which has been able to execute over multiple cycles and return value to shareholders.

What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks?

The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in off-price retailer Burlington Stores, freight logistics provider XPO Logistics and oil and natural gas exploration and production company WPX Energy.

Burlington Stores’ stock performance accelerated late in 2017 when the company reported third quarter earnings that had stronger than market expected comparable same-store sales, high single-digit sales and solid adjusted EBITDA. The company again reported earnings in May 2018 that were better than market estimates on earnings per share and revenue, which caused its stock to jump. Despite challenges to traditional retailers, the off-price space exhibited healthy momentum and increased demand, especially during the holiday season. Specific to Burlington Stores, we believe the company was able to enhance product assortments, including underdeveloped categories, such as home and baby, and shielded against e-commerce cannibalization by virtue of store experience, competitive pricing and faster supply chain.

Throughout the Reporting Period, WPX Energy executed toward its long-term vision of higher compounding growth and expanding its midstream portfolio, despite weather and macro headwinds. WPX Energy beat market earnings expectations in the third and fourth quarters of 2017, which resulted in stock appreciation in November 2017 and February 2018, respectively. Its strong results were driven by solid oil production, especially in the Delaware Basin. Additionally, in February 2018, WPX Energy announced its divestiture of San Juan Gallup holdings for $700 million to an undisclosed third party, with a significant portion of the proceeds slated for debt reduction. Its stock significantly appreciated in April 2018 after the agreement closed. WPX Energy’s stock continued to be uplifted, despite a hiccup in the first quarter of 2018 due to weather effects in the Bakken Shale, because its production was expected to strongly rebound to keep its fiscal year guidance intact. Its management reiterated balance sheet strength with free cash flow expected by the company to be positive next year and its leverage to drop. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on WPX Energy’s transformation from being a high-cost natural gas production company to an oil-focused production company. We also liked what we saw as its impressive portfolio of low-cost acreage in the core of the

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Permian Basin. Furthermore, we believed its stock was significantly undervalued, as investors, in our view, had not fully recognized the quality of the company’s assets and its ability to deleverage its balance sheet with strong cash flow generation.

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

During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy.

Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period?

We initiated a Fund position in CACI International, a provider of information solutions and services in support of national security and intelligence operations. Throughout calendar 2017, its stock had lagged the broader information technology sector. We established the Fund position following softer second quarter 2018 bookings, which may be an inflection point for organic growth. In our view, CACI International has a strong balance and sufficient cash to deploy in an acquisition.

We established a Fund position in ALLETE, a gas and electric, mostly regulated, utility. We like its business mix, wherein a majority of its cash flow is generated from a steady stream of regulated businesses supported by higher growth areas of energy and infrastructure, which we believe is sustainable for rather stable earnings and dividend growth.

Conversely, in addition to the sale of Black Hills, already mentioned, we sold the Fund’s position in Webster Financial, a U.S.-based commercial bank headquartered in the northeast. We initially bought the stock due to the company’s shareholder-driven management team and its singular focus on streamlining its franchise and improving core profitability. In addition, Webster Financial had become a leader in the health savings account market, which significantly enhanced the quality of its balance sheet given the large pool of low-cost deposits associated with that business. The company had been a long-term core holding of the Fund, but we exited the position given the bank’s substantial growth and market capitalization, which is no longer consistent with a small cap portfolio.

During the first quarter of 2018, RSP Permian, a petroleum and natural gas exploration company based in Oklahoma, was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative returns, supported by the announcement that Concho Resources, another petroleum and natural gas exploration company in the Permian Basin, would acquire RSP Permian in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $9.5 billion. We sold the Fund’s position in RSP Permian during the second quarter of 2018 to realize the profits of the buyout. We were confident the combined company, now with the greatest foothold in the Permian Basin, could realize substantial cost savings, accrue savings and optimize operations and infrastructure.

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

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

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

In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the Russell Index in health care, real estate and utilities increased, and its allocations compared to the Russell Index in industrials and materials decreased. The Fund’s position in cash increased.

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

At the end of August 2018, the Fund was underweight in real estate and consumer staples and overweighted in industrials relative to the Russell Index. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted in the remaining sectors in the Russell Index with the exception of telecommunication services, to which the Fund had no exposure at all at the end of the Reporting Period.

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 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. Because Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, 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 tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects 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.

Performance Summary

August 31, 2018

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on September 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000^® Value Index (with dividends 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 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 P, 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.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Value Fund

Portfolio Composition

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at time of purchase) in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in small- and mid-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell 2000^® Value Index and the Russell Midcap Value Index, respectively, at the time of investment. Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s investment horizon for ownership of stocks will be two to three years. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may also invest in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may invest in companies with public stock market capitalizations outside the range of companies constituting the Russell 2000^® Value Index and the Russell Midcap Value Index at the time of investment and in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

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 14.47%, 13.63%, 14.93%, 14.82%, 14.20% and 14.94%, respectively. These returns compare to the 17.43% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500^® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 3.70%. This compares to the 7.88% cumulative total return of the Russell Index during the same time period.

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

The Fund posted solid positive double-digit absolute returns but underperformed the Russell Index during the Reporting Period due to stock selection overall. Sector allocation as a whole contributed positively, albeit modestly.

Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

Stock selection proved most challenging in the energy, health care and consumer discretionary sectors, which detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index. Partially offsetting these detractors was effective stock selection in the industrials, real estate and information technology sectors, which contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results. Having an underweight allocation to real estate, which was among the weakest sectors in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also helped.

Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in oil and gas exploration and production company EQT, homebuilder Lennar and behavioral health care services company Acadia Healthcare.

EQT is primarily a natural gas producer in the Appalachian area of the U.S. In our view, EQT faced a variety of idiosyncratic and company-specific issues that were compounded by a challenging natural gas market. While we were originally positive on its acquisition of Rice Energy, it did not yield the results in cost reduction and midstream synergies we had expected. Eventually, following weaker than market expected earnings reported in April 2018, we exited the position in favor of what we saw as better risk/reward opportunities elsewhere.

Lennar, a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, is a homebuilding company that engages in the provision of real estate-related financial services and investment management. Overall, market confidence in homebuilders declined and demand softened during the

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Reporting Period, as interest rates and home prices increased. In our view, the company’s weak performance largely reflected this sentiment. Specific to Lennar, investors had become increasingly cautious of its recent acquisition given the later stage of the real estate cycle. While we acknowledge the later stages of the cycle and have moderated the Fund’s position size, we still believed, at the end of the Reporting Period, there was still room for growth. We continued to hold conviction in the company, especially its management team’s history of returning shareholder value.

Acadia Healthcare’s stock substantially declined in October 2017 following an unexpected miss to its third quarter revenues, driven by softer admissions in the U.K. The tightening labor market in the U.K. translated into higher than company expected staffing costs and below-budget volumes, which could be a longer-term adjustment associated with Brexit, the popular term for the U.K.’s plan to exit from the European Union. Since the unexpected miss in October 2017, the company reported earnings in February and May 2018 that beat consensus expectations, with U.K. volumes improving and top-line pricing growth in the U.S. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Acadia Healthcare was reasonably discounted with solid U.S. operations, which account for the majority of its revenue. In our view, its management has been taking an appropriate approach to its U.K. business and continues to expand its footprint in the U.S.

What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks?

The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in freight logistics provider XPO Logistics, off-price retailer Burlington Stores and oil and natural gas exploration and production company WPX Energy.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

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

During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy.

Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period?

In addition to the purchase of Lennar, already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in Equity LifeStyle Properties, an operator of high quality home resort communities, inclusive of rental homes and recreational vehicle campgrounds. We believe the company has demonstrated financial strength by visible revenue generation, a low-levered balance sheet and top-tier dividend growth among real estate investment trusts. We anticipate potential growth opportunities as the baby boomer generation ages, since a majority of parks have age restrictions, and Equity LifeStyle Properties has exposure to Florida and other retirement areas.

We established a Fund position in Camden Property Trust, an owner of multifamily apartment communities across the U.S. With decent exposure to the greater Houston area, the company benefited from the surge of short-term rental demand following hurricane season in August/September 2017. Camden Property Trust’s property portfolio is also largely exposed to the Sunbelt region of the U.S., which, in our view, is set to benefit from recent changes to tax legislation. Ultimately, we believe Camden Property Trust is a well-run company with significant capital to invest in acquisitions over the near term, which could be accretive to earnings.

Conversely, we exited the Fund’s position in Arch Capital Group, a property and casualty insurance company that has also expanded into mortgage insurance. The company operates a shareholder-oriented model with a keen focus on underwriting higher return lines but also stepping away from lines when the profitability outlook diminishes. The company’s entry into the mortgage insurance business exemplified this strategy given its assessment of higher return-on-equity and lower managed risk in the business. Given a market capitalization that has grown to the higher end of the Fund’s small/mid cap portfolio’s parameters and mortgage insurance exposure that is also expressed elsewhere among the Fund’s holdings, we decided to sell the position.

We sold the Fund’s position in Brixmor Property Group, a largely grocery-anchored shopping center company. The company performed poorly in 2017 along with broader retail names, and its shares fell after the company lowered 2017 funds from operations despite in-line third quarter 2017 numbers. Previously, we had believed its high exposure to successful grocers and value retail tenants and its management’s focus on high-return redevelopment projects would insulate the company from e-commerce pressures. However, the risk/reward opportunity of the company, in our view, was no longer attractive, and so we redeployed the proceeds into what we saw as higher quality real estate investment trusts.

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

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

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

In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the Russell Index in health care and real estate increased, and its allocations compared to the Russell Index in industrials, information technology and materials decreased. The Fund’s position in cash increased.

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

At the end of August 2018, the Fund was overweight in the health care sector relative to the Russell Index. On the same date, the Fund had underweight positions compared to the Russell Index in materials and consumer staples and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, energy, financials, industrials, information technology, real estate and utilities. The Fund held no position in the telecommunication services sector at the end of the Reporting Period.

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. Commission Recapture — GSAM, on behalf of certain Funds, may direct portfolio trades, subject to seeking best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to the Funds as cash payments and are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments on the Statements of Operations.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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

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:

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.

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 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.

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 Equity Income, Focused Value, Large Cap Value, Small Cap Value and Small/Mid Cap Value Funds is 0.004% and for Mid Cap Value Fund is 0.104%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2018 for Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares, and through at least April 16, 2019 for Class P Shares, and prior to such dates GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees.

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

In order to present certain components of the Fund’s 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 redemptions utilized as distributions, dividend redesignations, differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments, partnership investments and expired capital loss carryforwards.

8. OTHER RISKS

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

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.

130

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY VALUE FUNDS

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

Non-Diversification Risk — The Focused Value Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it is permitted to invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio, and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.

9. INDEMNIFICATIONS

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public

Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of Goldman Sachs Equity Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Focused Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund, and Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Value Fund:

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs Equity Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Focused Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund, and Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Value Fund (six of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 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 each of the Funds as of August 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 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 Opinions

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 August 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 opinions.

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

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, 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, Investor, Class P, Class R 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 March 1, 2018 through August 31, 2018, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year. The Class P Shares example is based on the period from April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, which represents a period of 136 out of 365 days. The Class P example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from March 1, 2018 through August 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.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

Background

The Goldman Sachs Equity Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Focused Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund, and Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.

(a)

the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about:

(i)

the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams;

(ii)

(iii)

trends in employee headcount;

(iv)

the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and

(v)

the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its mutual fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management;

(b)

information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparisons to the performance of similar mutual funds, as provided by a third-party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), a benchmark performance index, and, (in the case of the Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, and Small Cap Value Funds), a composite of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser; and information on general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests;

(c)

(d)

the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund;

(e)

fee and expense information for the Fund, including:

(g)

the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations;

(h)

information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates;

142

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY VALUE FUNDS

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

(i)

whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale;

(j)

(k)

a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser;

(l)

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

Investment Performance

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and (except the Focused Value Fund) ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2017, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2018. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was

143

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY VALUE FUNDS

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

provided for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods. The Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. The Trustees also received information comparing the Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, and Small Cap Value Funds’ performance to that of composites of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser.

The Trustees noted that the Equity Income Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the third quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the five-year period and in the fourth quartile for the one-, three-, and ten-year periods, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees also noted that the Equity Income Fund changed its name and introduced call options writing into the Fund’s strategy in June 2017. The Trustees observed that the Focused Value Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the fourth quartile of the Fund’s peer group and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark for the one-year period ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees also considered that the Focused Value Fund had experienced certain portfolio management changes in the first half of 2018. The Trustees noted that the Large Cap Value Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the fourth quartile of the Fund’s peer group and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees observed that the Mid Cap Value Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the third quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one- and ten-year periods and in the fourth quartile for the three- and five-year periods, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees also noted that the Large Cap Value and Mid Cap Value Funds had experienced certain portfolio management changes in the first half of 2018. The Trustees also observed that the Small Cap Value Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods and in the third quartile for the one-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees considered that the Small/Mid Cap Value Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the three-year period and in the third quartile for the one-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period and underperformed for the three-year period ended March 31, 2018.

Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information

In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee and breakpoints to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Fund’s transfer agency, custody, and distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.

With respect to the Equity Income, Focused Value, Small Cap Value, and Small/Mid Cap Value Funds, the Trustees noted that the management fee breakpoint schedules had been reduced at all asset levels since the Management Agreement was last approved. In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. The Trustees also noted that certain changes were being made to existing fee waiver or expense limitation arrangements of the Equity Income and Focused Value Funds that would have the effect of decreasing expenses of Class A, Class C, Investor, and Class R Shares of the Funds, with such changes taking effect in connection with the Funds’ next annual registration statement update. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal

144

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

and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.

The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Funds and their shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Funds; the Funds’ recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels, as well as Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC’s (“Goldman Sachs”) undertaking to waive a portion of the transfer agency fees paid by the Large Cap Value Fund’s Class A, Class C, Investor, Class R, and Class T Shares. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels. They also noted that the Investment Adviser had passed along savings to shareholders of the Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, and Small Cap Value Funds, which had asset levels above at least the first breakpoint during the prior fiscal year.

Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates

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

Fund Distributor; (i) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; and (j) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Funds’ third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.

Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders

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

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Global Managed Beta Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Institutional Shares generated an average annual total return of 11.18%. This return compares to the 12.59% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index Investable Market Index (Net, USD, 50% Non-US Developed Hedged to USD) (the “Index”), during the same time period.

What economic and market factors most influenced the Fund during the Reporting Period?

When the Reporting Period began in September 2017, the global economic recovery persisted in a synchronized fashion and inflationary pressures remained generally benign. Global equities delivered positive returns during the third calendar quarter overall, with emerging markets equities outperforming developed markets equities. U.K. equities also recorded positive returns, but lagged the broader global equity market, primarily because of a stronger British pound, which appreciated on the back of increased U.K. inflation and hawkish comments from the Bank of England. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) In the U.S., Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policymakers signaled their intention to raise short-term interest rates once more in 2017, having previously raised them in March and June, if the U.S. economy continued to progress as they expected. Global bond yields, which had fallen in July and August 2017 amid weaker inflation and heightened geopolitical tensions related to North Korea, bounced back sharply in September as inflation data surprised to the upside, leading to slightly hawkish commentary from the Fed. Toward the end of the third calendar quarter, investors focused on developments surrounding possible U.S. tax reform and the potential announcement of a new Fed chair.

In the fourth quarter of 2017, a mix of strong global economic growth data, higher commodity prices and the absence of hawkish surprises from major central banks drove a continued rally in global equities. Japanese equities performed best, as the Prime Minister’s big win in the country’s national election reinforced “Abenomics,” pushing stock prices higher. (Abenomics refers to the multi-pronged economic program of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It seeks to remedy two decades of economic stagnation by increasing Japan’s money supply, boosting government spending and enacting reforms to make the economy more competitive.) Meanwhile, U.S. stocks outpaced global equities, as investors priced in a higher probability of a U.S. corporate tax rate cut before its eventual passage by the U.S. Congress in December 2017. Conversely, European and U.K. equities lagged, weighed down by strength in the euro and British pound. Emerging markets stocks outperformed their developed markets peers, thanks to steady economic data emanating from China, higher commodity prices and improving exports. In November 2017, the U.S. President nominated Jerome Powell to replace Janet Yellen as Fed chair when her term expired in February 2018. In December 2017, Fed policymakers raised interest rates for the third time in 2017 and upgraded their cumulative economic growth projections after taking into account the potential impact of the corporate tax cut.

In January 2018, investors’ “risk on” sentiment, or reduced risk aversion, continued, and global equities had their best start of a calendar year in more than 30 years, supported by robust corporate earnings growth, low inflation and favorable macroeconomic conditions. However, following higher than expected inflation and wage growth data in early February 2018, market participants reassessed the pace of Fed interest rate hikes as well as the path of long-term interest rates and equity valuations. Volatility returned to the equity market, with the CBOE Volatility Index^® (“VIX^®”) spiking to 50 points, as investors broadly reduced exposure to riskier asset classes, such as equities and commodities. In late February through March 2018, equities and other risk assets rebounded

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

somewhat, and the fixed income markets began pricing in the Fed’s projections for three rate increases in 2018. At its March policy meeting, the Fed raised short-term interest rates.

Two big themes dominated investor sentiment during the second quarter of 2018. The first was the divergence between the economic growth of the U.S. and that of the rest of the world. In the U.S., macroeconomic data were relatively strong. However, while the global services Purchasing Manufacturing Index (“PMI”) remained resilient, European and emerging markets manufacturing PMIs weakened. The second theme was the escalation of trade tensions, which, coupled with slowing economic growth in the emerging markets, led to significant declines for emerging markets assets during the second calendar quarter. At the same time, riskier asset classes in the developed markets generated positive returns. On the monetary policy front, the Fed’s dot plot, which shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, indicated that four short-term interest rate increases were likely in 2018, up from the three forecast earlier in the Reporting Period.

In July 2018, developed markets stocks rallied on tentative signs of stabilization in global economic growth and news of a strong U.S. corporate earnings season. On the geopolitical front, U.S.-China trade tensions remained in focus as the U.S. President announced the imposition of a 10% tariff on an additional $200 billion worth of Chinese goods by August 30, 2018. At the same time, the Chinese yuan weakened, China’s credit growth slowed and the country’s industrial production increased less than consensus expected, which dragged down the performance of Chinese equities as well as emerging markets assets broadly. China’s policymakers continued to ease monetary and fiscal policy to support economic growth, but the unresolved U.S.-China trade dispute, concerns about debt and external fund needs in the emerging markets overall, and the looming Italian budget negotiations drove declines in non-U.S. developed markets equities and emerging markets equities during August 2018. Near the end of the Reporting Period, the performance of the fixed income markets became more range-bound, as momentum in breakeven inflation stalled and given that investors had largely priced in two more Fed rate hikes before the end of 2018. (The breakeven inflation rate is a market-based measure of expected inflation.)

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

The Fund primarily seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of underlying asset classes that provide broad beta exposure to the global equity markets. (Beta refers to the component of returns that is attributable to market risk exposure, rather than manager skill.) While posting solidly positive double-digit absolute gains, the Fund underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period, largely because of its strategic allocation to the macro hedging strategy (Through which we seek to diversify the Fund’s overall exposure to global equity asset classes), which detracted as the market priced in expectations for Fed interest rate hikes. Mitigating some of these losses was the Fund’s steepening position on the front, or short-term, end of the U.S. Treasury yield curve. (Yield curve is a spectrum of maturities. A steepening position seeks to take advantage of a widening differential between yields at the shorter- and longer-term ends of a range of maturities.) Additionally, the Fund’s overweight relative to the Index in emerging markets equities versus developed markets equities detracted marginally from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

How was the Fund positioned at the beginning of the Reporting Period?

In terms of its strategic allocation at the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Fund had 97.96% of its total net assets invested in equity-related investments, 1.79% in the macro hedging strategy and 0.25% in cash and cash equivalents. The Fund also maintained a position in cash and cash equivalents to cover the exposure of various derivatives positions. This above sector breakout is inclusive of derivative exposure across all asset classes.

How did you tactically manage the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, we gradually adjusted the Fund’s strategic allocation to align it with our long-term view of asset classes and our factor-based diversification approach, through which we seek to gain exposure to underlying asset classes rather than obtaining such exposure through capitalization-weighted indices. More specifically, in September 2017, we shifted a portion of the Fund’s global equities allocation into the factor-based diversification approach, which is expected to be a long-term strategic allocation and seeks to capture common sources of active equity returns, including, but not limited to, Momentum, Valuation, Volatility and Quality factors. The Momentum factor seeks to identify companies whose stock prices are expected to increase or decrease (by, among other things, evaluating each company’s recent performance results). The Valuation factor seeks to identify companies whose stock prices are trading at a discount to their fundamental or

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

intrinsic value (by, among other things, comparing each company’s book value to market value). The Volatility factor seeks to identify companies whose stock prices are expected to have a relatively lower degree of fluctuation over time. The Quality factor seeks to identify companies that are expected to generate higher returns on assets (i.e., more profitable). The factor-based diversification approach is implemented through a separately managed account composed of individual stock positions.

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

During the Reporting Period, equity futures were employed to express our passive investment views with greater versatility. The use of these instruments to gain exposure to the Canadian equity market and the U.S. small-cap equity market during the Reporting Period added to the Fund’s performance, as these positions generated returns similar to the asset classes they represented. In addition, the Fund employed currency forwards and interest rate options to afford greater risk management of macroeconomic and foreign exchange risks in the portfolio. Currency forwards contributed positively to the Fund’s performance. Although interest rate options broadly accomplished their purpose, they detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

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

In terms of its strategic allocation at the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had 98.09% of its total net assets invested in equity-related investments, 1.78% in the macro hedging strategy and 0.13% in cash and cash equivalents. The Fund also maintained a position in cash and cash equivalents to cover the exposure of various derivatives positions. This above sector breakout is inclusive of derivative exposure across all asset classes.

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

At the end of the Reporting Period, we saw a series of inflection points in macro and market themes. First, we believed the divergence in economic growth rates between major economies, which we began to emphasize in the Fund during April 2018, had largely run its course, and we expected the gaps in growth to stabilize in the near term. In the medium term, we anticipate a turn toward convergence in economic growth rates. Second, U.S. economic growth, which was very strong in the second quarter of 2018, is likely to return to a more moderate pace, in our view. In the second calendar quarter, the U.S. economy expanded at an annualized rate of 4.2%, despite an inventory drag of approximately 1%, as it benefited from fiscal policy support. Eventually, these inventories should add to U.S. economic growth, but we believe the impact of fiscal policy support is likely to have less of an impact going forward. Third, it appeared economic growth was improving outside the U.S. In Europe, the overall economy appeared to be stabilizing after experiencing a soft patch. In China, we believe firm policy supply is likely to continue, which we expect to help the country’s economic growth in the near term. While the turnaround in Japan’s economy has been weaker than we anticipated, we saw an improving trend toward the end of the Reporting Period after a poor first calendar quarter.

On the asset class level, we expected global equities to generate positive returns over the medium term, supported by economic expansion, earnings growth and asset valuations we judge to be inexpensive relative to current macro conditions though high in absolute terms. However, with the U.S. equity market close to its peak at the end of the Reporting Period, we believed future equity returns may be somewhat more muted than in the recent past. Regarding fixed income, we viewed the Fed as being behind the curve and the markets as continuing to underprice the pace of future rate hikes. That said, we think longer-term yields are likely to remain range-bound in the near term. Continued Fed rate hikes and gradually firming inflation should eventually put upward pressure on longer-term yields, in our view. Another possibility, which we consider less likely, is that longer-term yields will fall due to market concerns about excessive fiscal stimulus in a U.S. economy at full capacity and/or because of uncertainty about the Fed’s policy framework over the medium term.

At the regional level, we held a positive view on emerging markets assets versus developed markets assets over the medium term. In our opinion, emerging markets currencies were attractively valued at the end of the Reporting Period. Also, emerging markets countries outside of China are generally earlier in their economic cycles than developed markets countries. We believe that this is likely to lead to a continued widening of the gap between the economic growth trajectories of emerging and developed markets, which has historically supported the outperformance of emerging markets assets. Although a rise in longer-term yields later in 2018 could be a temporary headwind, emerging markets assets have generally been able to perform well over the medium term in the benign environment that typically accompanies Fed rate hikes, even though they may suffer temporary setbacks. At the end of the Reporting Period, we

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

thought emerging markets assets were at an inflection point toward renewed outperformance.

As for the Fund’s macro hedging strategy, we consider it a long-term structural allocation and a capital-efficient means of diversifying the Fund’s exposure to global equities. In positioning the Fund in anticipation of Fed interest rate increases, we plan to continue monitoring the potential impact of events related to key political and monetary policy decisions in the near term.

Performance Summary

August 31, 2018

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on April 30, 2015 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index Investable Market Index (Net, USD, 50% Non-US Developed Hedged to USD), 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. 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 GLOBAL MANAGED BETA FUND

Notes to Financial Statements

August 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 Global Managed Beta Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified fund that currently offers one class of shares — Institutional 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

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. Distributions received from the Fund’s 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 Fund as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.

C. Expenses — Expenses incurred directly by the Fund are charged to the Fund, and certain expenses incurred by the Trust that may not solely relate to the Fund are allocated to the Fund and the other applicable funds of the Trust on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis, depending upon the nature of the expenses, and are accrued daily.

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 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 and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.

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 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:

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 GLOBAL MANAGED BETA FUND

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 Fund invests in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Fund’s 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.

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 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 the 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, the 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 the 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 the Fund and cash collateral received, 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.

iii. Options — When the 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 the 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

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.

C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Fund’s investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2018:

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES

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 August 31, 2018. These instruments were used as part of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s net exposure.

(a)

Represents unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts described in the Additional Investment Information sections of the Schedule of Investments. Only the current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The following tables set forth, by certain risk types, the Fund’s gains (losses) related to these derivatives and their indicative volumes for the fiscal year ended August 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. These gains (losses) are included in “Net realized gain (loss)” or “Net change in unrealized gain (loss)” on the Statement of Operations:


Risk	Statement of Operations	Net Realized Gain (Loss)		Net Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss)	Average Number of Contracts^(a)
Interest	Net realized gain (loss) on purchased options/ Net change in unrealized gain (loss) on purchased options	$	(5,731,470)	$(2,399,606)		24

Total		$	7,844,262	$7,419,209		1,285

(a)

Average number of contracts is based on the average of month end balances for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

August 31, 2018

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued)

Collateral and margin requirements differ between exchange traded derivatives and OTC derivatives. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearing house for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives (financial futures contracts, options and centrally cleared swaps) pursuant to governing agreements for those instrument types. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by 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 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

GSAM has agreed to waive all management fees payable by the Fund, except those management fees it earns from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (the “Government Money Market Fund”). This arrangement will remain in place through at least December 29, 2018 and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate this arrangement without the approval of the Trustees. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, GSAM waived $2,467,849 in management fees.

B. 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 an annual rate of 0.02% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares.

C. 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 limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Fund is 0.204%. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the Fund did not have any other expense reimbursements from GSAM.

The Fund invests in Institutional Shares of the Government Money Market Fund and the shares of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF, which are affiliated Underlying Funds. GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit “Other

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL MANAGED BETA FUND

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

Expenses” in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated funds in which the Fund invests. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, GSAM waived $206,011 of the Fund’s management fee.

These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2018, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements 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” limitations described above.

D. Line of Credit Facility — As of August 31, 2018, the Fund participated in a $770,000,000 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 August 31, 2018, the Fund did not have any borrowings under the facility.

E. Other Transactions with Affiliates — The table below shows the transaction in and earnings from investments in the Underlying Funds for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018:


Underlying Fund	Beginning Value as of August 31, 2017		Purchases at Cost		Proceeds from Sales			Change in unrealized gain (loss)			Ending Value as of August 31, 2018		Shares as of August 31, 2018		Dividend Income

6. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, were $746,463,421 and $130,086,577 respectively.

7. SECURITIES LENDING

The Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the Fund receives cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may experience delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Fund or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statement of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Government Money Market Fund, an affiliated series of the Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a

7. SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

management fee of up to 0.16% (prior to February 21, 2018, GSAM may have received a management fee of up to 0.205%) on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.

In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Fund whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Fund by paying an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Fund’s loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Fund’s overnight and continuous agreements represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of August 31, 2018 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Both the Fund and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amounts earned by the Fund for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Statement of Operations.

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

As of August 31, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on a tax basis were as follows:


Undistributed ordinary income — net	$	22,533,885
Undistributed long-term capital gains		3,800,841
Total undistributed earnings	$	26,334,726
Timing differences (Straddle Loss Deferral)	$	(98,995	)
Unrealized gains — net		93,100,835
Total accumulated earnings net	$	119,336,566

As of August 31, 2018, the Fund’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:


Tax Cost	$	1,061,065,662
Gross unrealized gain		150,012,127
Gross unrealized loss		(56,911,292	)
Net unrealized gains	$	93,100,835

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 underlying fund investments, partnership investments, and passive foreign investment company investments.

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 redemptions utilized as distributions, and differences in the tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment company investments, partnership investments and underlying fund investments.

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.

9. 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL MANAGED BETA FUND

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

August 31, 2018

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

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 (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 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/Portfolio] 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.

Geographic Risk — If the 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.

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an 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.

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.

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL MANAGED BETA FUND

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

Sector Risk — To the extent the 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.

10. 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.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Fund’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.

Other than noted above, 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.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Goldman Sachs Global Managed Beta Fund (one of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for the year ended August 31, 2018, for the period November 1, 2016 through August 31, 2017, and for the year ended October 31, 2016 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, including the related notes (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 August 31, 2018, the results of its operations for the year ended August 31, 2018, the changes in its net assets for year ended August 31, 2018, for the period November 1, 2016 through August 31, 2017, and for the year ended October 31, 2016 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.

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 August 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 August 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Institutional Shares of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Actual Expenses — The first line 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 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.


Share Class	Beginning Account Value 3/1/18		Ending Account Value 8/31/18			Expenses Paid for the 6 months ended 8/31/18*
Institutional
Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,033.80		$	0.41
Hypothetical 5% return		1,000.00		1,024.80	+		0.41

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 the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended August 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 ratio for the period was 0.07%.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

Background

The Goldman Sachs Global Managed Beta Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Fund at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Fund.

(a)

the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about:

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

trends in employee headcount;

(j)

(k)

a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser;

(l)

information regarding commissions paid by the Fund and broker oversight, other information regarding portfolio trading, and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution;

(m)

portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers;

(n)

(o)

The Trustees also received an overview of the Fund’s distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Fund’s assets and share purchase and redemption activity. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Fund shares. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.

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

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

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

Investment Performance

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Fund. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of the Fund to its peers using rankings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2017. The information on the Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-year period ending on the applicable date. The Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. They observed that the Fund had outperformed its benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2018. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the investment performance trends of the Fund over time, and reviewed the investment performance of the Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions.

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL MANAGED BETA FUND

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

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

Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information

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

In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Fund. The analyses provided a comparison of the Fund’s management fee to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared the Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing the Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared the Fund’s transfer agency and custody fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Fund.

In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Fund differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.

Profitability

The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for the Fund was provided for 2017 and 2016, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund. The Trustees considered that the Fund is offered to the Investment Adviser’s institutional clients as part of an investment model whereby the Fund and other funds act as core “building blocks” with which the client and the Investment Adviser form an investment strategy for the client’s portfolio. The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s representations that its clients benefit from this investment model with increased liquidity, increased investment oversight, access to new investment strategies, economies of scale, and reduced complexity in managing client portfolios. The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to waive the management fees payable by the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, pursuant to the model, clients pay a single management fee for the Investment Adviser’s management of their accounts, and that fund-level management fees are waived in order to avoid charging two layers of management fees.

Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL MANAGED BETA FUND

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

brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of the Fund; (c) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Fund with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (d) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Fund’s securities lending cash collateral is invested; (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Fund on behalf of its other clients; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (g) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (h) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Fund; and (i) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Fund’s third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.

Other Benefits to the Fund and Its Shareholders

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

Conclusion

In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by the Fund were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and the Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit the Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to the Fund until June 30, 2019.

MARKET REVIEW

Goldman Sachs Global Tax-Aware Equity Portfolios

Investment Strategy

The Portfolios invest in a strategic mix of Underlying Funds and other securities with the goal of achieving long-term growth of capital (both Portfolios) and current income (Goldman Sachs Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio only). Under normal conditions, at least 80% of the Portfolios’ total assets measured at the time of purchase will be allocated among the Underlying Funds that currently exist or that may become available for investment in the future for which Goldman Sachs Asset Management (“GSAM”) or an affiliate, now or in the future, acts as investment adviser or principal underwriter. Some of the Underlying Funds invest primarily in fixed income or money market instruments and other Underlying Funds invest primarily in equity securities. The Portfolios may also invest directly in the Underlying Tactical Fund (as defined below) and other securities or instruments, including unaffiliated exchange-traded funds and derivatives, and can use these investments for implementing tactical tilts. Under normal circumstances, each of the Portfolios also has a small strategic allocation to U.S. investment grade corporate bonds, which is used to help fund the tactical tilts.

Market Review

During the 12 months ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”), economic growth indicators, shifting expectations about central bank policy, strong corporate earnings and geopolitics drove the performance of the financial markets. U.S. stocks recorded double-digit gains, significantly outperforming non-U.S. developed markets stocks, which nevertheless generated positive returns. In contrast, fixed income overall recorded a negative return.

Equity Markets

As the Reporting Period began in September 2017, developed markets stocks advanced. In the U.S., economic activity and labor market data showed consistent strength, with the reversal in August of five consecutive downside inflation surprises, the unemployment rate down to 4.2% in September and the Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growing at an annualized rate above 3% during the third calendar quarter. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) kept monetary policy unchanged at its September policy meeting and revised down its inflation forecast. Investor sentiment in Japan deteriorated amid North Korean missile launches and escalating geopolitical tensions, while in Europe, the disputed independence referendum in Catalonia, Spain was negative for risk sentiment. The Japanese Prime Minister’s landslide victory in October 2017 reassured investors, signaling a continuation of then-current policies. Progress on tax reform and strong economic activity data was supportive of U.S. equities during October and November 2017. In December, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) delivered its third interest rate hike of 2017, having previously raised rates in March and June, and maintained its projections for three interest rate hikes in 2018. U.S. equities gained additional momentum toward the end of the calendar year from the passage of a tax reform bill that reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

Developed markets equities saw a strong start to 2018, driven by positive economic data, the $1.5 trillion U.S. tax reform plan and robust corporate earnings across the U.S., Europe and Japan. Fourth quarter 2017 U.S. GDP came in below the economic growth rates recorded in the second and third calendar quarters but was still at a respectable annualized rate of 2.5%. The U.S. labor market also continued to highlight the tightening of slack in the economy during January 2018. In Japan, concerns around a strengthening yen increased, driven by the

MARKET REVIEW

Bank of Japan’s (“BoJ”) announcement of reduced Japanese government bond purchases, which were interpreted as a withdrawal from its ultra-accommodative monetary policy. In February 2018, developed markets equities sold off on market speculation about a faster pace of Fed interest rate hikes, which led to a sharp rise in yields and volatility. Robust U.S. labor market data sparked the initial “risk-off” sentiment, or reduced risk appetite. Concerns about Fed monetary policy tightening were further exacerbated by solid U.S. inflation data. New Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony before Congress in February 2018, positing a more optimistic economic outlook since the December 2017 Fed policy meeting, surprised the markets with its hawkish tilt. (Jerome Powell assumed the chairmanship of the Fed in February 2018. Hawkish language tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) Renewed concerns about the increasingly hostile exchanges between North Korea and the White House, as well as heightened European political risk ahead of Italian general elections and a grand coalition referendum in Germany, further fueled volatility. In March 2018, escalating trade tensions and potential tariffs weighed on investor sentiment. Meanwhile, the Fed delivered on a widely expected interest rate increase, with its “dot plot” pointing to a total of three interest rate hikes in the 2018 calendar year and potentially two in 2019. (The “dot plot” shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee.) However, Fed policymakers acknowledged that the “economic outlook has strengthened in recent months,” revising their economic growth forecast higher and their unemployment forecast lower. In Europe, an agreement between the U.K. and European Union on a 21-month Brexit transition period reduced political uncertainty. (Brexit refers to the U.K.’s efforts to leave the European Union.)

The U.S. and China continued to generate trade headlines and geopolitical uncertainty about sanctions on Russia surfaced, but the impact of such on developed markets stocks remained relatively muted during April 2018, as investors stayed rather resistant to the risk of a trade war. U.S. equities rallied in May 2018, driven by strong corporate earnings, upside surprises in economic activity and sentiment data, and a new U.S. unemployment low of 3.8%. However, non-U.S. developed markets equities declined amid escalating geopolitical uncertainty stemming from an unexpected political outcome in Italy, ongoing unpredictability around the U.S.-North Korea summit, and escalating trade tensions with many U.S. allies. In June 2018, the Fed raised interest rates again, as widely expected, but the outcome of the Fed meeting was more hawkish than the consensus had anticipated. The Fed retained language indicating an “accommodative” monetary policy stance, but its economic growth and inflation forecasts were upgraded, and its median projection was lifted to four interest rate hikes in 2018 from the three it had indicated in March 2018. Fed Chair Powell was also slightly hawkish in his June press conference. Still-escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China hurt investor sentiment within developed markets equities, as the U.S. threatened tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods and China vowed to retaliate.

Developed markets equities gained during July 2018, though market volatility was high, driven by heightened trade rhetoric between the U.S. and China as well as between the U.S. and key allies and by strong U.S. macroeconomic data relative to other developed and emerging markets countries. The U.S. economy grew 4.2% year over year in the second calendar quarter, its fastest annualized pace since 2004. Re-escalating trade tensions and renewed fears of a Chinese economic slowdown dampened investor risk sentiment, but fiscal stimulus policies announced by the Chinese government and the promising outcome of a trade meeting between the U.S. and European Union lifted developed markets stocks higher in July overall. In August 2018, U.S. equities reached an all-time high, with strong domestic economic data outweighing headwinds posed by moderating global economic growth and

MARKET REVIEW

escalating trade and diplomatic tensions. However, the same headlines drove declines in non-U.S. developed markets equities. At the start of the month, they fell on signs of an economic slowdown in China, along with escalating U.S.-China trade tensions as the U.S. considered imposing additional tariffs on Chinese goods. They were also hurt by news about U.S. economic sanctions on Iran and a sharp selloff in Turkish stocks following its diplomatic disputes with the U.S., which exacerbated existing investor worries about Turkey’s economic imbalances and unorthodox policies. In Europe, political concerns centered around Italy and its upcoming 2019 budget. Although a strong earning season and progress on North American free trade negotiations boosted investor sentiment mid-month, it subsequently deteriorated due to the U.S. President’s comments about the potential of further additional tariffs on Chinese goods.

Fixed Income Markets

In September 2017, government bond sectors sold off, and spread, or non-government bond, sectors generally 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 is taking to reverse quantitative easing.) This prompted a modestly hawkish market reaction, with the U.S. dollar strengthening and yields on U.S. government bonds rising, though the move had been largely anticipated given earlier signaling by policymakers. The central banks of other developed countries also set the stage for less accommodative monetary policy. The Bank of England (“BoE”) noted “a majority” of its policymakers were in favor of tightening policy “over the coming months,” while the Bank of Canada (“BoC”) surprised the markets with its second interest rate hike of 2017. The market’s expectations for a BoE rate hike in November 2017, along with a constructive tone for Brexit negotiations, drove the British pound higher versus the U.S. dollar.

During the fourth calendar quarter, spread sector performance was broadly positive, supported by ongoing strength in the global macroeconomic environment and contained market, macro and political volatility. Passage of U.S. tax 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 indicated that three rate increases were on tap for 2018 and potentially two more in 2019. The U.S. dollar weakened versus many major currencies during the fourth quarter of 2017, as strong global economic growth supported non-U.S. currencies and in particular, emerging markets currencies.

In the first quarter of 2018, spread sectors were challenged by a surge in market volatility. Firmer than consensus expected U.S. wage and price inflation data prompted higher market volatility and equity market declines, though the magnitude of the moves was exacerbated by changing market structures, including the increased presence of algorithmic trading strategies. (Algorithmic trading uses complex mathematical models and formulas to make high-speed decisions and transactions in the financial markets.) The Fed raised short-term interest rates at its March policy meeting and reiterated its plan 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

MARKET REVIEW

calendar quarter, though policymakers in Europe and Japan sounded mildly dovish and those in Norway appeared more hawkish. Economic activity data moderated in emerging markets and developed markets countries but remained in expansionary territory and therefore was supportive of cyclical asset classes geared toward growth. The U.S. was a notable exception, experiencing continued strength in economic data. During the first quarter of 2018, the U.S. dollar weakened slightly versus many major currencies, due in part to market concerns about U.S. current account and fiscal deficits.

During the second calendar quarter, spread sectors broadly weakened amid increased U.S.-China trade tensions, political events in emerging markets countries and Italy, higher U.S. interest rates and a stronger U.S. dollar. U.S. high yield corporate bonds, however, generated a small positive return. Rising oil prices were a tailwind for the broader high yield corporate bond sector, as many energy bonds are high yield rated. In June 2018, the Fed delivered the seventh interest rate hike of its current tightening cycle. The Fed’s dot plot pointed to two more rate increases in 2018, implying a total of four rate hikes in the calendar year. U.S. economic growth strengthened, with the GDP expanding at an annualized rate of 4.2% in the second calendar quarter. Elsewhere, the ECB announced plans to taper its quantitative easing program beginning September 2018. The U.S. dollar appreciated relative to many major currencies during the second quarter of 2018.

Spread sectors performed well in July 2018 amid “risk-on” market sentiment, or reduced risk aversion, which was motivated by ongoing strength in U.S. economic data, strong second calendar quarter corporate earnings and fewer news reports about protectionist trade policies. The Fed kept interest rates unchanged during the month but issued an upbeat statement. The BoJ said it would continue its existing monetary policy of negative interest rates, quantitative easing and “yield curve control.” (Yield curve control is designed to steepen Japan’s government bond yield curve and alleviate the impact on financial institutions of low longer-term rates. Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities.) The BoE raised rates by 25 basis points, citing reduced slack in the U.K. economy and signs of wage growth. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The U.S. dollar strengthened versus many major currencies during July 2018.

In August 2018, spread sectors generally weakened. Emerging markets assets, especially emerging markets currencies, came under pressure due to a number of country-specific events, including U.S. sanctions on Russia, investor concerns about external funding needs in Turkey and Argentina and doubts surrounding economic reform progress in South Africa. The “risk-off” market sentiment also challenged the performance of U.S. investment grade corporate bonds, which faced additional headwinds from a large amount of new supply. In contrast, U.S. high yield corporate bonds produced a positive return amid muted new issuance and firmer crude oil prices. In August 2018, the U.S. dollar weakened slightly versus many major currencies.

Looking Ahead

At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the pace of U.S. economic growth had largely peaked relative to the growth of other developed markets countries. In our view, the U.S. economy had benefited from strong fiscal policy support during the second quarter of 2018, and we expected that support to fade over time. Meanwhile, we believe that economic growth in Europe appeared to be stabilizing at a lower but more sustainable level compared to the growth seen during 2017. The economic recovery in Japan, which has been more muted than we expected, appeared to be gradually continuing. In China, policy support has been firm in

MARKET REVIEW

the face of weaker economic data and risks from trade, and, at the end of the Reporting Period, we expected to see a period of positive surprises eventually. Beyond China, most emerging markets countries have healthy economic fundamentals, in our view, and we expect them to benefit from U.S. economic growth. We believe the weakness in emerging markets assets near the end of the Reporting Period reflected country-specific challenges rather than a broad emerging markets crisis. In terms of the bigger picture, we expected global economic growth to converge at healthy levels after a period defined by U.S. economic exceptionalism. As for U.S. interest rates, we expected them to continue climbing over the longer term, but, as of the end of the Reporting Period, we saw few catalysts for a significant move higher in the closing months of 2018. With inflation rising gradually and U.S. economic growth likely to moderate, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that the Fed would raise short-term interest rates twice more in 2018, which is consistent with market expectations.

The Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital and current income.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio’s (the “Portfolio”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Portfolio perform during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s Class A and Institutional Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 8.94% and 9.45%, respectively. These returns compare to the 10.47% average annual total return of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Composite Index (“EDGE Composite Index”), over the same time period. The components of the EDGE Composite Index generated average annual total returns of -1.05% and 11.80% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) Investable Market Index^® (“MSCI ACWI IMI”), respectively, during the Reporting Period.

For the period since their inception on December 29, 2017 through August 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 3.39% compared to the 3.08% cumulative total return of the EDGE Composite Index. The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the MSCI ACWI IMI, generated cumulative total returns of -0.96% and 3.53%, respectively, during the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 2.80% compared to the 2.08% cumulative total return of the EDGE Composite Index. The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the MSCI ACWI IMI, generated cumulative total returns of 0.61% and 2.24%, respectively, during the same period.

What key factors affected the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s strategic weightings contributed positively to its performance versus the EDGE Composite Index. Our tactical asset allocation decisions (“tactical tilts”) also added to returns. The overall performance of the Underlying Funds detracted from the Portfolio’s results.

How were the Portfolio’s tactical asset allocation decisions managed during the Reporting Period?

In keeping with our investment process, we implement tactical tilts, based on Goldman Sachs Investment Strategy Group’s views about near-term expected market returns, in an attempt to enhance performance. These tactical tilts are implemented through an investment in the Goldman Sachs Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund (the “Underlying Tactical Fund”), which seeks long-term total return through the implementation of investment ideas that are generally derived from short-term or medium-term market views on a variety of asset classes and instruments. As mentioned previously, the Portfolio’s tactical tilts contributed positively to its performance during the Reporting Period.

How did the Portfolio’s Underlying Funds perform relative to their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period?

To implement our strategic and tactical asset allocation decisions, the Portfolio invests in 10 Underlying Funds. Nine of these Underlying Funds may be used to implement strategic asset allocation decisions (“Underlying Strategic Funds”). The Underlying Tactical Fund, as mentioned previously, is used to implement tactical tilts.

During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio was invested in eight of the nine Underlying Strategic Funds, five of which

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

underperformed their respective benchmark indices. (The Portfolio did not have an allocation to the Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income Fund during the Reporting Period.) Two of the Underlying Strategic Funds that underperformed in relative terms — the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund and the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund — are those in which the Portfolio invested a significant percentage of its equity allocation. The Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Insights Fund and the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund also underperformed their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period. In addition, the Goldman Sachs Global Real Estate Securities Fund, which was added as an Underlying Strategic Fund in September 2017, underperformed its benchmark index

The Goldman Sachs Small Cap Equity Insights Fund and the Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund outperformed their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period. Additionally, the Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund, which was added as an Underlying Strategic Fund in September 2017, outperformed its benchmark index.

The Portfolio’s Underlying Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund outperformed its cash benchmark index by approximately 68 basis points¹ during the Reporting Period. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percent.)

How did call writing affect performance?

As mentioned above, the Portfolio’s two largest allocations were to the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund and the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, which earn premiums through an equity index call writing strategy. When equity markets are down, flat or modestly positive, these Underlying Strategic Funds tend to outperform their respective benchmark indices because of the premiums they earn from call writing. When equity markets rally strongly, these two Underlying Strategic Funds are likely to trail their respective benchmark indices. Although the Underlying Strategic Funds keep the premiums they earn from call writing, they can underperform when the call options are exercised.

As the U.S. and international equity markets advanced during the Reporting Period, the call writing strategies of the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund and the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund detracted from performance.

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

During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio employed Standard & Poor’s 500^® Index (“S&P 500^® Index”) futures as part of its strategic weightings in U.S. large-cap growth stocks and U.S. large-cap value stocks. The Portfolio also utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to take positions in the British pound, euro, Australian dollar, Swiss franc and Japanese yen. These currency hedging positions detracted from the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period, although our strategic weightings contributed positively overall.

In addition, some of the Portfolio’s Underlying Funds, including the Portfolio’s Underlying Tactical Fund, used derivatives during the Reporting Period to apply their active investment views with greater versatility or to afford greater risk management precision. As market conditions warranted during the Reporting Period, some of these Underlying Funds engaged in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, financial futures contracts, options and swap contracts to enhance portfolio return and for hedging purposes.

What changes did you make during the Reporting Period within the Portfolio?

As mentioned previously, two new Underlying Funds — the Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund and the Goldman Sachs Global Real Estate Securities Fund — were added to the Portfolio during the Reporting Period.

What was the Portfolio’s strategy at the end of the Reporting Period?

Going forward, we plan to maintain a diversified equity portfolio that implements our strategic and tactical views as we continue to seek long-term growth of capital and current income.

Performance quoted is for Institutional Shares.

The after-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. The 2017 tax rates (23.8% for qualifying ordinary income dividends and long-term capital gain distributions for 2017, and 43.4% for non-qualifying ordinary income dividends) and tax characteristics of distributions were used to estimate after-tax returns in 2018. Actual after-tax returns will be calculated at calendar year-end and depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Portfolio shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Portfolio Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even Returns Before Taxes. Standardized after-tax returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV and reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.50% for Class A Shares.

Returns Before Taxes do not reflect taxes on distributions on the Portfolio’s Class A Shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed.

Returns After Taxes on Distributions assume that taxes are paid on distributions on the Portfolio’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.

***

Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Portfolio Shares reflect taxes paid on distributions on the Portfolio’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed.

Performance Summary

August 31, 2018

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on September 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Portfolio’s benchmark the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Composite Index (“EDGE Composite Index”), which is comprised of 10% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and 90% of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index (ACWI) Investable Market Index (IMI) (“MSCI ACWI IMI”) (Net, USD, Unhedged), 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 expense limitations currently in effect and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. Performance of Institutional Shares will vary from Class A, Class P and Class R6 Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the investment adviser’s decisions regarding underlying mutual fund selection and allocations among them, other factors may affect Portfolio performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Portfolio operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Portfolio.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio’s (the “Portfolio”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Portfolio perform during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s Class A and Institutional Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 12.81% and 13.32%, respectively. These returns compare to the 10.47% average annual total return of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Composite Index (“TAG Composite Index”), over the same time period. The components of the TAG Composite Index generated average annual total returns of -1.05% and 11.80% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) Investable Market Index^® (“MSCI ACWI IMI”), respectively, during the Reporting Period.

For the period since their inception on December 29, 2017 through August 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 5.58% compared to the 3.08% cumulative total return of the TAG Composite Index. The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the MSCI ACWI IMI, generated cumulative total returns of -0.96% and 3.53%, respectively, during the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 3.98% compared to the 2.08% cumulative total return of the TAG Composite Index. The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the MSCI ACWI IMI, generated cumulative total returns of 0.61% and 2.24%, respectively, during the same period.

What key factors affected the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s strategic weightings added to its performance versus the TAG Composite Index. Our tactical asset allocation decisions (“tactical tilts”) and the overall performance of the Underlying Funds also bolstered the Portfolio’s relative returns.

How were the Portfolio’s tactical asset allocation decisions managed during the Reporting Period?

How did the Portfolio’s Underlying Funds perform relative to their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period?

To implement our strategic and tactical asset allocation decisions, the Portfolio invests in nine Underlying Funds. Eight of these Underlying Funds may be used to implement strategic asset allocation decisions (“Underlying Strategic Funds”). The Underlying Tactical Fund, as mentioned previously, is used to implement tactical tilts.

During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio was invested in seven of the eight Underlying Strategic Funds, four of which

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

outperformed their respective benchmark indices. (The Portfolio did not have an allocation to the Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income Fund during the Reporting Period.) Two of the Underlying Strategic Funds that outperformed in relative terms — the Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund and the Goldman Sachs International Tax-Managed Equity Fund — are those in which the Portfolio held its largest weightings. The Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund also outperformed its benchmark index. In addition, the Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund, which was added as an Underlying Strategic Fund in September 2017, outperformed its benchmark index during the Reporting Period overall.

The Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Insights Fund and the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund underperformed their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period. Also, the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund, which was added as an Underlying Strategic Fund in September 2017, underperformed its respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period overall.

The Portfolio’s Underlying Tactical Fund outperformed its cash benchmark index by more than 68 basis points¹ during the Reporting Period. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percent.)

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

During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio employed Standard & Poor’s 500^® Index (“S&P 500^® Index”) futures as part as part of its strategic weightings in U.S. large-cap growth stocks and U.S. large-cap value stocks. The Portfolio also utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to take positions in the British pound, euro, Australian dollar, Swiss franc and Japanese yen. These currency hedging positions detracted from the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period, although our strategic weightings contributed positively overall.

What changes did you make during the Reporting Period within the Portfolio?

What was the Portfolio’s strategy at the end of the Reporting Period?

Going forward, we plan to maintain a diversified equity portfolio that implements our strategic and tactical views as we continue to seek long-term growth of capital.

Performance quoted is for Institutional Shares.

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL TAX-AWARE EQUITY PORTFOLIOS

Notes to Financial Statements

August 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. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Portfolios” or individually a “Portfolio”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:

Portfolio

Share Classes Offered

Diversified/

Non-diversified

Enhanced Dividend Global Equity and Tax-Advantaged Global Equity

A, Institutional, P^(a) and R6^(b)

Diversified

(a)

Commenced operations on April 17, 2018.

(b)

Commenced operations on December 29, 2017.

Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Institutional, Class P 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 Portfolios pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

The Portfolios are expected to invest primarily in a combination of domestic and international equity and fixed income underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) which are registered under the Act, for which GSAM acts as the investment adviser. Additionally, these Portfolios may invest a portion of their assets directly in other securities and instruments, including unaffiliated exchange traded funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Investment Valuation — The valuation policy of the Portfolios and Underlying Funds 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. Distributions from master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) are generally recorded based on the characterization reported on the MLP’s tax return. The Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund (the “Underlying MLP Fund”) records its pro-rata share of the income/loss and capital gains/losses, allocated from the underlying partnerships and adjusts the cost basis of the underlying partnerships accordingly. Income distributions are recognized as capital gains or income in the financial statements in accordance with the character that is distributed.

For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.

C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, and non-class specific expenses of each Portfolio are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Portfolios 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. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Portfolios may own different proportions of the Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by each Portfolio will vary.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Portfolio 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:


Portfolio	Income Distributions Declared/Paid	Capital Gains Distributions Declared/Paid
Enhanced Dividend Global Equity	Quarterly	Annually
Tax-Advantaged Global Equity	Annually	Annually

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 Portfolio’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 Portfolios’ 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 a Portfolio are maintained in United States (“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 Portfolios’ 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 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 Portfolios’ 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Portfolios, 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 Portfolios’ 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 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.

Underlying Funds — Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional Share class of each Underlying Fund on the day of valuation. Because each Portfolio invests primarily in other mutual funds that fluctuate in value, the Portfolios’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. 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 Portfolio 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL TAX-AWARE EQUITY PORTFOLIOS

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a forward contract in which a Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 the Portfolios 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 the Portfolios, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.

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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio’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.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

A. Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Portfolios, 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 Portfolios’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.15% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to achieve an effective rate of 0.08% as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets of each Portfolio through at least December 29, 2018 for Class A, Institutional and Class R6 Shares, and through at least April 16, 2019 for Class P Shares, and prior to such dates, GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees.

B. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plan — The Trust, on behalf of Class A Shares of each Portfolio, has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, 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 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A Shares of the Portfolios.

C. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Portfolios pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained front-end sales charges of $3,605 and $0 for the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio and Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio, respectively.

D. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolios 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: 0.18% of the average daily net assets of Class A Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares.

E. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Portfolios (excluding acquired (underlying) 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 Portfolio. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Portfolios 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 Portfolios is 0.014%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2018 for Class A, Institutional and Class R6 Shares, and through at least April 16, 2019 for Class P Shares, and prior to such dates, GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

of the Trustees. In addition, the Portfolios have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Portfolios’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

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


Portfolio	Management Fee Waiver		Other Expense Reimbursement		Custody Fee Credits		Total Expense Reductions
Enhanced Dividend Global Equity	$	471,312	$	196,314	$	9,219	$	676,845
Tax-Advantaged Global Equity		1,795,752		225,281		30,599		2,051,632

F. Line of Credit Facility — As of August 31, 2018, the Portfolios participated in a $770,000,000 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 Portfolios based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the Portfolios did not have any borrowings under the facility.

G. Other Transactions with Affiliates — The Portfolios invest primarily in Institutional Shares of the Underlying Funds. These Underlying Funds are considered to be affiliated with the Portfolios. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in these Underlying Funds for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018:

The Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio utilized $10,834,604 of capital losses in the current fiscal year.

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


	Enhanced Dividend Global Equity			Tax-Advantaged Global Equity
Tax cost	$	561,439,604		$	2,057,621,865
Gross unrealized gain		140,952,161			851,113,350

Net unrealized gain	$	114,381,805		$	780,992,483

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 net mark to market gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments.

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

In order to present certain components of the Portfolios’ capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Portfolios’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the NAV of the Portfolios and result primarily from differences in the tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment company investments and underlying fund investments.


	Paid-in Capital		Accumulated Net realized Gains (Loss)			Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)
Enhanced Dividend Global Equity	$	2	$	(4,231,040	)	$	4,231,038
Tax-Advantaged Global Equity		—		(6,928,675	)		6,928,675

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

8. OTHER RISKS

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

Derivatives Risk — The Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios. 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.

Energy Sector Risk — The Underlying MLP Fund concentrates its investments in the energy sector, and will therefore be susceptible to adverse economic, environmental, business, regulatory or other occurrences affecting that sector. The energy sector has historically experienced substantial price volatility. MLPs and other companies operating in the energy sector are subject to specific risks, including, among others: fluctuations in commodity prices; reduced consumer demand for commodities such as oil, natural gas or petroleum products; reduced availability of natural gas or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering; slowdowns in new construction; extreme weather or other natural disasters; and threats of attack by terrorists on energy assets. Additionally, changes in the regulatory environment for energy companies may adversely impact their profitability. Over time, depletion of natural gas reserves and other energy reserves may also affect the profitability of energy companies.

Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. 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 Portfolio or an Underlying Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. 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 Portfolio or an Underlying 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 Portfolio or an Underlying Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

Investments in the Underlying Funds — The Portfolios invest primarily in a combination of Underlying Funds, and are subject to the risk factors associated with the investments of those Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of assets allocated to each. As of August 31, 2018, the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio invested 44.2% and 21.1% of its net assets in the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund (the “U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund”) and the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund (the “International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund”), respectively. Because of the high concentration of its assets in these Underlying Funds, the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio has greater exposure to the risks associated with these Underlying Funds than it does to the risks associated with the other Underlying Funds in which it invests. The U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund invests primarily in dividend paying equity investments in large-capitalization U.S. equity issuers, with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of the S&P 500^® at the time of investment. This Underlying Fund expects that, under normal circumstances, it will write (sell) call options on the S&P 500^® Index or related exchange-traded funds in an amount that is between 20% and 75% of the value of its portfolio. The International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying equity investments in companies that are organized outside the U.S. or whose securities are principally traded outside the U.S. with public stock market capitalizations within the range of capitalization of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe, Australasia, Far East (“EAFE”) Index (“MSCI EAFE Index”) at the time of investment. This Underlying Fund expects that, under normal circumstances, it will write (sell) call options on the MSCI EAFE Index, other national or regional stock market indices or related exchange-traded funds in an amount that is between 20% and 75% of the value of its portfolio.

As of August 31, 2018, the Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio invested 52.8% and 20.8% of its net assets in the Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund (the “U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund”) and the Goldman Sachs International Tax-Managed Equity Fund (the “International Tax-Managed Equity Fund”), respectively. Because of the high concentration of its assets in these Underlying Funds, the Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio has greater exposure to the risks associated with these Underlying Funds than it does to the risks associated with the other Underlying Funds in which it invests. The U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in U.S. issuers, including foreign issuers that are traded in the U.S. This Underlying Fund will seek to maintain risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the Russell 3000 Index. The International Tax-Managed Equity Fund invests primarily in international equity securities. This Underlying Fund will seek to maintain risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the MSCI EAFE Index. The investment adviser may seek tax-efficiency by offsetting gains and losses, limiting portfolio turnover or selling high tax basis securities for both Underlying Funds.

The Portfolios do not invest in the Underlying Funds for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, investments by the Portfolios within their principal investment strategies may represent a significant portion of an Underlying Fund’s net assets.

Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Portfolio or an Underlying 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 Portfolio or an Underlying Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact a Portfolio’s or an Underlying 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 Portfolio’s or an Underlying Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Portfolio’s or the Underlying Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Portfolio or Underlying Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Portfolio’s or an Underlying Fund’s performance to the extent that the Portfolio or the Underlying Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Liquidity Risk — An Underlying 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 Portfolio will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL TAX-AWARE EQUITY PORTFOLIOS

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Portfolio 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. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with a Portfolios’ investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Portfolio and an Underlying Fund trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, a Portfolio and/or an Underlying 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 Portfolio and the Underlying Fund have unsettled or open transactions defaults.

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

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-013 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Funds’ fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.

Report of Independent Registered Public

Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of Goldman Sachs Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio and Goldman Sachs Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio:

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio and Goldman Sachs Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio (two of the portfolios constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Portfolios”) as of August 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 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 each of the Portfolios as of August 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 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 Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

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 August 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 opinions.

Portfolio Expenses — Six Month Period Ended August 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Institutional, Class P or Class R6 Shares of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A Shares); and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Institutional, Class P and Class R6 Shares of the Portfolios 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 March 1, 2018 through August 31, 2018, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year. The Class P example is based on the period from April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, which represents a period of 136 out of 365 days. The Class P example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from March 1, 2018 through August 31, 2018 for the 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 Portfolios’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios 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 and do not include expenses of Underlying Funds in which the Portfolios invest. 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 Portfolio’s actual annualized net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.

Expenses are calculated using each Portfolio’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended August 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:


Portfolio	Class A			Institutional			Class P^(a)			Class R6

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

Background

The Goldman Sachs Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio and Goldman Sachs Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolios”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”).

the nature and quality of the services provided to the Portfolio and the Underlying Funds by their unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and

(o)

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

The Trustees also received an overview of the Portfolios’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Portfolios’ assets, share purchase and redemption activity, and payment of distribution and service fees. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Portfolio shares. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Portfolio investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.

The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Portfolios and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Portfolios. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.

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

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

Investment Performance

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Portfolios and the Underlying Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Portfolio and each Underlying Fund to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2017, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2018. The information on each Portfolio’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ending on the applicable dates. The Trustees also reviewed each Portfolio’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Portfolios over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Portfolio in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions.

In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Portfolio and Underlying Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Portfolios’ and Underlying Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management. They noted the efforts of the Portfolios’ portfolio management team to continue to enhance the investment models used in managing certain Underlying Funds.

The Trustees observed that the Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Portfolio’s peer group for the five-year period and in the third quartile for the one- and three-year periods, and had outperformed the Portfolio’s benchmark index for the five-year period and underperformed for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2018. They observed that the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Portfolio’s peer group for the three- and five-year periods and in the fourth quartile for the one-year period, and had underperformed the Portfolio’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees noted that the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio had certain significant differences from its peer group that caused the peer group to be an imperfect basis for comparison.

Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information

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

In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Portfolios. The analyses provided a comparison of each Portfolio’s management fee to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Portfolio’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Portfolio’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Portfolio’s transfer agency, custody, and distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Portfolios.

In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations of the Portfolio and the Underlying Funds. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Portfolios, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Portfolios differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.

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

Profitability

The Trustees reviewed each Portfolio’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Portfolio and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL TAX-AWARE EQUITY PORTFOLIOS

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

be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for each Portfolio was provided for 2017 and 2016, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Portfolios. The Trustees noted that, although the Portfolios themselves do not have breakpoints in their management fee schedules, any benefits of the breakpoints in the management fee schedules of certain Underlying Funds, when reached, would pass through to the shareholders in the Portfolios at the specified asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Portfolios; the Portfolios’ recent purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and the profits realized by them; information comparing the fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to waive a portion of its management fee and to limit certain expenses of the Portfolios and Underlying Funds that exceed specified levels. They also considered the services provided to the Portfolios under the Management Agreement and the fees and expenses borne by the Underlying Funds, and determined that the management fees payable by the Portfolios were not duplicative of the management fees paid at the Underlying Fund level.

Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates

The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Portfolios and/or the Underlying Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of certain Underlying Funds; (c) research received by the Investment Adviser from broker-dealers in exchange for executing certain transactions on behalf of certain Underlying Funds; (d) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Underlying Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (e) fees earned by Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, as securities lending agent for certain Underlying Funds (and fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which certain Underlying Funds’ cash collateral is invested); (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Portfolios and the Underlying Funds on behalf of its other clients; (g) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Portfolio shareholders; (h) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Portfolio Distributor; (i) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Portfolios and Underlying Funds; and (j) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Portfolios’ and Underlying Funds’ third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.

Other Benefits to the Portfolios and Their Shareholders

The Trustees also noted that the Portfolios and/or the Underlying Funds receive certain potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Underlying Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) with respect to certain Underlying Funds, enhanced servicing from broker-dealers because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) with respect to certain Underlying Funds, the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Portfolios and the Underlying Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (g) the Portfolios’ and Underlying Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firmwide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; (h) certain Underlying Funds’ ability to participate in the securities lending program administered by GSAL, as measured by the revenue received by the Underlying Funds in connection with the program; and (i) the Portfolios’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered that many of the Portfolios’ shareholders invested in

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL TAX-AWARE EQUITY PORTFOLIOS

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

the Portfolios in part because of the Portfolios’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.

Conclusion

In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the Portfolios were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Portfolio’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Portfolio and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Portfolio until June 30, 2019.

The reports concerning the Portfolios included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Portfolios in the future. These statements are based on Portfolio management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Portfolios, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Portfolios. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.

A description of the policies and procedures that the Portfolios use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information regarding how a Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available (i) without charge, upon request by calling 1-800-526-7384 (for Retail Shareholders) or 1-800-621-2550 (for Institutional Shareholders); and (ii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) web site at http://www.sec.gov.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Money Market Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Investor Funds’ (the “Funds”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

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

During the Reporting Period, noteworthy events influencing the front, or short-term, end of the taxable and tax-exempt money market yield curves included Federal Reserve (“Fed”) interest rate hikes and its start of balance sheet normalization as well as action by other central banks, including the European Central Bank’s (“ECB”) tapering of asset purchases. (Yield curve is a spectrum of interest rates based on maturities of varying lengths. Balance sheet normalization refers to the steps the Fed is taking to reverse quantitative easing and remove the substantial monetary accommodation it has provided to the economy since the financial crisis began in 2007.)

Outside the U.S., the ECB announced in October 2017 that it would reduce its monthly asset purchases, primarily by purchasing fewer sovereign government bonds. Beginning in January 2018, and for a period of nine months, the ECB planned to cut its monthly asset purchases from €60 billion to €30 billion. ECB officials left policy rates unchanged throughout the Reporting Period but said in the second quarter of 2018 that they planned to taper the ECB’s quantitative easing program starting in September. Elsewhere, the Bank of England (“BoE”) reversed an emergency interest rate in October 2017 that it had made in August 2016 after 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. However, reduced slack in the U.K. economy and signs of wage growth led the BoE to raise interest rates in July 2018.

In the tax-exempt money markets, investment inflows increased slightly from approximately $128 billion in August 2017 to approximately $130 billion in August 2018. In the first half of the Reporting Period, the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) Municipal Swap Index, representing seven-day tax-exempt variable rate demand obligations, rose 30 basis points, from 0.79% on August 31, 2017 to 1.09% on February 28, 2018. The increase was driven largely by U.S. tax reform, which in December 2017 prompted record new issuance of three times the historical level for December. During the second half of the Reporting Period, the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index sold off, ending the Reporting Period at 1.56% amid low new issuance and strong investor demand. Meanwhile, three-month and one-month LIBOR ended the Reporting Period overall at 2.32% and 2.11%, respectively. (LIBOR, or the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate, is the interest rate that banks charge each other for short-term loans.) The ratio of the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index to one-month LIBOR was nearly 74% at the end of the Reporting Period compared to its less than 71% average since 1997.

What key factors were responsible for the performance of the Funds during the Reporting Period?

The yields of the Goldman Sachs Investor Money Market Fund (“the taxable Fund”) and the Goldman Sachs Investor

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (“the tax-exempt Fund”) rose during the Reporting Period, driven by the increase in money market yields, which occurred primarily because of the economic and market factors discussed above. The taxable and tax-exempt money market yield curves flattened, meaning yields on shorter-term maturities rose more than those on longer-term maturities.

How did you manage the taxable Fund during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, the taxable Fund had investments in commercial paper, asset-backed commercial paper, and repurchase agreements (“repos”). It also had investments in variable rate demand notes (“VRDNs”), certificates of deposit, short-term corporate obligations, tender option bonds, municipal debt and non-U.S. sovereign government debt.

In the taxable Fund during the first half of the Reporting Period, we maintained a rather short weighted average maturity of approximately 20 days, as the Fed continued to signal the likelihood of a December 2017 interest rate hike. We focused Fund purchases on floating rate securities, asset-backed commercial paper, and agency securities, which offered what we considered attractive opportunities. In the second half of the Reporting Period, guidance from the Fed about future rate hikes led us to extend the taxable Fund’s weighted average maturity to approximately 40 days. Our focus remained on floating rate securities, asset-backed commercial paper, and agency securities, as they offered attractive compensation, in our view.

How did you manage the tax-exempt Fund during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, the tax-exempt Fund had investments in VRDNs, short-term tax-exempt securities, non-financial tax-exempt commercial paper and other municipal securities.

We maintained a rather short weighted average maturity of approximately 15 days in the tax-exempt Fund through most of the Reporting Period, as the Fed continued to signal further interest rate hikes in 2018 and through 2019.

How did you manage the Funds’ weighted average life during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, we managed the weighted average life of the taxable and tax-exempt Funds below 120 days. In the taxable Fund, we maintained a weighted average life in a range between 75 days and 83 days during the first three months of the Reporting Period. Through December 2017 and January 2018, we allowed the weighted average life of the taxable Fund to shorten to approximately 58 days. We then extended it to approximately 76 days during February 2018. Between February and the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained the weighted average life of the taxable Fund in a range between 73 days and 97 days.

In the tax-exempt Fund, we maintained a weighted average life in a range between 20 days and 32 days during the first three months of the Reporting Period. We then allowed the weighted average life of the tax-exempt Fund to shorten from 20 days at December month-end to 17 days at January month-end, closing February at 16 days. From the beginning of March 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained the weighted average life of the tax-exempt Fund in a range between 13 days and 18 days. The weighted average life of a money market fund is a measure of a money market fund’s price sensitivity to changes in liquidity and/or credit risk.

Did you make any changes to the Funds’ portfolios during the Reporting Period?

What is the Funds’ tactical view and strategy for the months ahead?

At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected the U.S. to continue taking the lead in unwinding the ultra-accommodative monetary policy put in place following the global financial crisis. We think the Fed will raise interest rates a total of four times in 2018 and two to three times in 2019, while also continuing its balance sheet normalization. Elsewhere, we saw scope for several developed markets’ central banks, including the Bank of Canada and Reserve Bank of New Zealand, to tighten monetary policy because of domestic economic strength in those nations. In contrast, we anticipated prolonged monetary policy accommodation in Europe and Japan, where core inflation appeared to lack upward momentum.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Overall, the taxable and tax-exempt Funds continue to be flexibly guided by shifting market conditions, and we have positioned them to seek to take advantage of anticipated interest rate movements. At the end of the Reporting Period, we viewed floating rate securities as offering value, and we intend to adjust duration guided by the context of market pricing in relation to our expectations. As always, we intend to continue to use our actively managed approach to seek the best possible return within the framework of our Funds’ investment guidelines and objectives. In addition, we will continue to manage interest, liquidity and credit risk daily. We will also continue to closely monitor economic data, Fed policy and any shifts in the taxable and tax-exempt money market yield curves, as we strive to navigate the interest rate environment.

The returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment returns will fluctuate. 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.

The Money Market Fund offers seven separate classes of shares (Class I, Administration, Service, Resource, Cash Management, Class A and Class C Shares) and the Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund offers eleven separate classes of shares (Class I, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource, Cash Management, Class A and Class C Shares), each of which is subject to different fees and expenses that affect performance and entitles shareholders to different services. The Class I Shares do not have distribution and/or service (12b-1) or administration and/or service (non-12b-1) fees. The Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource, Cash Management, Class A and Class C Shares offer financial institutions the opportunity to receive fees for providing certain distribution, administrative support and/or shareholder services (as applicable). As an annualized percentage of average daily net assets, these share classes pay combined distribution and/or service (12b-1) or administration and/or service (non-12b-1) fees (as applicable) at the following contractual rates: Select Shares pay 0.03%, Preferred Shares pay 0.10%, Capital Shares pay 0.15%, Administration Shares pay 0.25%, Premier Shares pay 0.35%, Service Shares pay 0.50%, Resource Shares pay 0.65%, Cash Management Shares pay 0.80%, Class A Shares pay 0.25%, and Class C Shares pay 1.00%. If these fees were reflected in the above performance, performance would have been reduced. In addition, the Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.

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. A Fund’s total return assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions.

The Standardized Total Returns are average annual or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) of Class I Shares as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. The SEC 7-Day Current Yield is not a Standardized Total Return.

Because Class I Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total 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.

The SEC 7-Day Current Yield figures are as of 6/30/18 and are calculated in accordance with securities industry regulations and do not include net capital gains. SEC 7-Day Current Yield may differ slightly from the actual distribution rate of a given Fund because of the exclusion of distributed capital gains, which are non-recurring. The SEC 7-Day Current Yield more closely reflects a Fund’s current earnings than do the Standardized Total Return figures.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements

August 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. 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
Investor Money Market	Class I, Administration, Service, Resource, Cash Management, Class A and Class C	Diversified
Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market	Class I, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource, Cash Management, Class A and Class C	Diversified

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Investment Valuation — The investment valuation policy of the Funds is to use the amortized-cost method permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Act for valuing portfolio securities. The amortized-cost method of valuation involves valuing a security at its cost and thereafter applying a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Normally, a security’s amortized cost will approximate its market value. Under procedures and tolerances approved by the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”), GSAM evaluates daily the difference between each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share using the amortized costs of its portfolio securities and the Fund’s NAV per share using market-based values of its portfolio securities. The market-based value of a portfolio security is determined, where readily available, on the basis of market quotations provided by pricing services or securities dealers, or, where accurate market quotations are not readily available, on the basis of the security’s fair value as determined in accordance with Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which may consider (among other things): (i) yield or price with respect to debt securities that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 and tax-exempt income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly by the Funds and may include short-term capital gains. Long-term capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. A Fund may defer or accelerate the timing of the distributions of short-term capital gains (or any portion thereof).

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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

As of August 31, 2018, all investments and repurchase agreements are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Please refer to the Schedules of Investments for further detail.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

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

B. Administration, Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted Administration, Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans (the “Plans”) to allow Class C, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource and Cash Management Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of account administration and/or personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Plans provide for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets of such shares.

C. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of the Class A Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, 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 Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.

equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C, Resource and Cash Management Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.

D. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, Goldman Sachs has advised that it did not retain any CDSCs with respect to Class C Shares of the Funds.

6. OTHER RISKS

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

Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients) and individuals, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s NAV and liquidity. 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. 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.

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, a Fund’s yield will tend to be lower than prevailing market rates, and the market value of its securities or instruments may also be adversely affected. A low interest rate environment poses additional risks to a Fund, because low yields on the Fund’s portfolio holdings may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s ability to provide a positive yield to its shareholders, pay expenses out of Fund assets, or, at times, maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The risks associated with changing interest rates may have 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.

Geographic and Sector Risk — The Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund may invest a significant portion of its total assets in certain issuers within the same state, geographic region or economic sector, which may subject the value of the Fund’s investments to risks associated with an adverse economic, business, political or environmental development affecting that state, region or sector.

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs Investor Money Market Fund and Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (two of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 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 each of the Funds as of August 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 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.

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

As a shareholder of Class I Shares, Select Shares, Preferred Shares, Capital Shares, Administration Shares, Premier Shares, Service Shares, Resource Shares, Cash Management Shares, Class A Shares, or Class C Shares of a Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including contingent deferred sales charges (with respect to Class C Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and distribution, service, administration and/or shareholder administration fees (with respect to all share classes except Class I Shares) and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class I Shares, Select Shares, Preferred Shares, Capital Shares, Administration Shares, Premier Shares, Service Shares, Resource Shares, Cash Management Shares, Class A Shares, or Class C Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

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.

Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		1,000.00		1,019.26	+		6.01

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 August 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:

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

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team (“QIS Team”) discusses the Goldman Sachs Strategic Factor Allocation Fund’s (the “Portfolio”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Portfolio perform during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s Institutional Shares generated an average annual total return of 5.18%. This compares to the 8.96% average annual total return of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Strategic Factor Allocation Composite Index (the “Index”), which is composed 50% of the S&P 500^® Index and 50% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, during the same period. The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the S&P 500^® Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, generated average annual total returns of 19.66% and -1.05%, respectively, during the Reporting Period.

For the period since their inception on December 29, 2017 through August 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return of 1.44% compared to the 4.46% cumulative total return of the Index. The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the S&P 500^® Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, generated cumulative total returns of 9.94% and -0.96%, respectively, during the same period.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 3.97% compared to the 4.27% cumulative total return of the Index. The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the S&P 500^® Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, generated cumulative total returns of 8.01% and 0.61%, respectively, during the same period.

What economic and market factors most influenced the Portfolio as a whole during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, economic growth indicators, shifting expectations about central bank policy, strong corporate earnings and geopolitics influenced the financial markets and the Portfolio. U.S. stocks posted double-digit gains, while fixed income overall recorded a negative return.

When the Reporting Period began in September 2017, U.S. stocks advanced. Economic activity and labor market data showed consistent strength, with the reversal in August of five consecutive downside inflation surprises, the unemployment rate down to 4.2% in September and the Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growing at an annualized rate above 3% during the third calendar quarter. Progress on tax reform and strong economic activity data was supportive of U.S. equities during October and November 2017. While December 2017 payroll data undershot consensus expectations, November 2017 data was revised such that the U.S. unemployment rate stood at a 17-year low of 4.1% and average hourly earnings ticked up. In December, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) delivered the third interest rate hike of 2017, having previously raised rates in March and June, and maintained its projections for three rate hikes in 2018. U.S. equities gained additional momentum toward the end of the 2017 calendar year from the passage of a tax reform bill that reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

U.S. equities saw a strong start to 2018, driven by positive economic data, the $1.5 trillion U.S. tax reform plan and robust corporate earnings across the U.S., Europe and Japan. Fourth quarter 2017 U.S. GDP came in below the economic growth rates recorded in the second and third calendar quarters but was still at a respectable annualized rate of 2.5%. The labor market also continued to highlight the tightening of slack in the economy during January 2018. U.S. corporate earnings showed strong revenue and earnings growth relative to historical data. Companies were beginning to provide discrete guidance on tax rates, and 2018 earnings forecasts were being upgraded as a result. In February 2018, U.S. equities sold off on market speculation about a faster

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

pace of Fed interest rate hikes, which led to a sharp rise in yields and volatility. Robust labor market data sparked the initial “risk-off” sentiment, or reduced risk appetite, as nonfarm payroll employment increased by 200,000 in January 2018. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.1%, and average hourly earnings rose 0.34% month over month. Concerns about Fed monetary policy tightening were further exacerbated by solid U.S. inflation data. New Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony before Congress in February 2018, positing a more optimistic economic outlook since the December 2017 Fed policy meeting, surprised the markets with its hawkish tilt. (Jerome Powell assumed the chairmanship of the Fed in February 2018. Hawkish language tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) Renewed concerns about the increasingly hostile exchanges between North Korea and the White House further fueled volatility. In March 2018, escalating trade tensions and potential tariffs weighed on investor sentiment. Meanwhile, the Fed delivered on a widely expected interest rate increase, with its “dot plot” pointing to a total of three interest rate hikes in the 2018 calendar year and potentially two in 2019. (The “dot plot” shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee.) However, Fed policymakers acknowledged that the “economic outlook has strengthened in recent months,” revising their economic growth forecast higher and their unemployment forecast lower.

The U.S. and China continued to generate trade headlines and geopolitical uncertainty about sanctions on Russia surfaced, but the impact of such on U.S. stocks remained relatively muted during April 2018, as investors stayed rather resistant to the risk of a trade war. U.S. equities rallied in May 2018, driven by strong corporate earnings, upside surprises in economic activity and sentiment data, and a new U.S. unemployment low of 3.8%. However, the U.S. equity rally was hampered by escalating geopolitical uncertainty stemming from an unexpected political outcome in Italy, ongoing unpredictability around the U.S.-North Korea summit and escalating trade tensions with many U.S. allies. In June 2018, the Fed raised interest rates again, as widely expected, but the outcome of the Fed meeting was more hawkish than the consensus had anticipated. The Fed retained language indicating an “accommodative” monetary policy stance, but its economic growth and inflation forecasts were upgraded, and its median projection was lifted to four interest rate hikes in 2018 from the three it had indicated in March 2018. Fed Chair Powell was also slightly hawkish in his June press conference. Still-escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China hurt investor sentiment within developed markets equities, as the U.S. threatened tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods and China vowed to retaliate.

U.S. equities gained during July 2018, though market volatility was high, driven both by the heightened trade rhetoric between the U.S. and China as well as between the U.S. and key allies and by strong U.S. macroeconomic data relative to other developed and emerging markets. The U.S. economy grew 4.2% year over year in the second calendar quarter, its fastest annualized pace since 2004. July also marked the 100th month of economic expansion, a streak one year away from becoming the longest in U.S. history. U.S. equities then reached an all-time high in August 2018, with strong domestic economic data outweighing headwinds posed by moderating global economic growth and escalating trade and diplomatic tensions.

As for the fixed income markets, government bond sectors sold off and spread, or non-government bond, sectors generally advanced during September 2017. The Fed kept its monetary policy unchanged but unveiled its plans for balance sheet normalization. (Balance sheet normalization refers to the steps the Fed is taking to reverse quantitative easing.) This prompted a modestly hawkish market reaction, with the U.S. dollar strengthening and yields on U.S. government bonds rising, though the move had been largely anticipated given earlier signaling by policymakers. The central banks of other developed countries also set the stage for less accommodative monetary policy. The Bank of England (“BoE”) noted “a majority” of its policymakers were in favor of tightening policy “over the coming months,” while the Bank of Canada (“BoC”) surprised the markets with its second interest rate hike of 2017. The market’s expectations for a BoE rate hike in November 2017, along with a constructive tone for Brexit negotiations, drove the British pound higher versus the U.S. dollar. (Brexit refers to the U.K.’s efforts to leave the European Union.)

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

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 indicated that three rate increases were on tap for 2018 and potentially two more in 2019. The U.S. dollar weakened versus many major currencies during the fourth quarter of 2017, as strong global economic growth supported non-U.S. currencies and, in particular, emerging markets currencies.

In the first quarter of 2018, spread sectors were challenged by a surge in market volatility. Firmer than consensus expected U.S. wage and price inflation data prompted the turbulence, though the magnitude of the moves was exacerbated by changing market structures, including the increased presence of algorithmic trading strategies. (Algorithmic trading uses complex mathematical models and formulas to make high-speed decisions and transactions in the financial markets.) The Fed raised short-term interest rates at its March 2018 policy meeting and reiterated its plan for a total of three rate hikes during the calendar year. 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 moderated in emerging markets and developed markets countries but remained in expansionary territory and therefore was supportive of cyclical asset classes geared toward growth. The U.S. was a notable exception, experiencing continued strength in economic data. During the first quarter of 2018, the U.S. dollar weakened slightly versus many major currencies due in part to market concerns about the U.S. current account and fiscal deficit.

During the second calendar quarter, spread sectors broadly weakened amid increased U.S.-China trade tensions and political events in emerging markets countries and Italy as well as higher U.S. interest rates and a stronger U.S. dollar. U.S. high yield corporate bonds, however, generated a small positive return. Rising oil prices were a tailwind for the broader high yield corporate bond sector, as many energy bonds are high yield rated. In June 2018, the Fed delivered the seventh interest rate hike of its current tightening cycle. The Fed’s dot plot pointed to two additional rate increases in 2018, implying a total of four rate hikes in the calendar year. U.S. economic growth strengthened, with the GDP expanding at annualized rate of 4.2% in the second calendar quarter. Elsewhere, the ECB announced plans to taper its quantitative easing program beginning September 2018. The U.S. dollar appreciated relative to many major currencies during the second quarter of 2018.

Spread sectors performed well in July 2018 amid “risk-on” market sentiment, or increased risk appetite, which was motivated by ongoing strength in U.S. economic data, robust second calendar quarter corporate earnings and fewer news reports about protectionist trade policies. The Fed kept interest rates unchanged during the month but issued an upbeat statement. The Bank of Japan (“BoJ”) said it would continue its existing monetary policy of negative interest rates, quantitative easing and “yield curve control.” (Yield curve control is designed to steepen Japan’s government bond yield curve and alleviate the impact on financial institutions of low longer-term rates. Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities.) The BoE raised interest rates, citing reduced slack in the U.K. economy and signs of wage growth. The U.S. dollar strengthened versus many major currencies during July 2018.

In August 2018, spread sectors generally weakened. Emerging markets assets, especially emerging markets currencies, came under pressure due to a number of country-specific events, including U.S. sanctions on Russia, investor concerns about external funding needs in Turkey and Argentina, and doubts surrounding economic reform progress in South Africa. The “risk-off” market sentiment also challenged the performance of U.S. investment grade corporate bonds, which faced additional headwinds from a large amount of new supply. In contrast, U.S. high yield corporate bonds produced a positive return amid muted new issuance and firmer crude oil prices. In August 2018, the U.S. dollar weakened slightly versus many major currencies.

What were the primary contributors to and detractors from the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period?

The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective through the implementation of the Goldman Sachs Strategic Factor Allocation process (“Strategic Allocation”), which is derived from the Goldman Sachs Investment Strategy Group’s (“ISG”) market views on a variety of asset classes and instruments. The Strategic Allocation was developed to provide exposure to “factors,” which are academically derived drivers of investment returns that the Goldman Sachs ISG believes offer the potential for greater and more consistent returns in various market environments. These

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

factors include, but are not limited to, Equity, Term, Flow and Volatility. The Equity factor seeks to capture the premium associated with equity risk. The Term factor seeks to capture the premium associated with interest rate and inflation risk. The Flow factor seeks to systematically capitalize on flows within and across asset classes. The Volatility factor seeks to capture the “fear premium” associated with equity risk. (The fear premium is the amount investors tend to overpay to preserve capital during periods of financial market volatility.) The QIS Team implements the Strategic Allocation by investing primarily in derivatives; pooled investment vehicles, such as exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) and underlying funds; and equities, fixed income and currencies.

During the Reporting Period, the Strategic Allocation added to absolute performance, but the Portfolio underperformed relative to the Index. On an absolute basis, the Term Factor hurt returns, while the Equity and Volatility factors contributed positively. The Flow factor had a rather neutral impact on results.

In terms of underlying asset classes and instruments, allocations to U.S. equity index options and U.S. equities bolstered performance. The Portfolio’s allocation to U.S. fixed income detracted from returns. The Portfolio’s allocations to developed markets currencies, accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, generated negative results overall. More specifically, the Portfolio was hampered by its positions in the Swiss franc, Canadian dollar, New Zealand dollar and the euro. This was partly offset by its positions in the Australian dollar, Japanese yen and British pound, which added to performance.

How was the Portfolio positioned at the beginning of the Reporting Period?

In terms of its Strategic Allocation at the start of the Reporting Period, the Portfolio maintained equal weightings in the Equity, Flow and Volatility factors. It had a relatively smaller weighting in the Term factor.

In terms of underlying asset classes and instruments, the Portfolio maintained positions in U.S. equities, listed U.S. equity index options and U.S. fixed income. In terms of currencies, it held long positions versus the U.S. dollar in the Canadian dollar, British pound and Japanese yen. It held short positions versus the U.S. dollar in the Swiss franc, euro and New Zealand dollar. The Portfolio did not hold a position versus the U.S. dollar in the Australian dollar at the beginning of the Reporting Period.

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

The Portfolio uses derivatives for both hedging and non-hedging purposes in the implementation of the Strategic Allocation. During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio employed listed equity index options to implement views on the U.S. equity market, which added to performance. It used bond futures to express views on the U.S. fixed income market, which detracted from returns. In addition, the Portfolio utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to take long and short positions in select developed markets currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts had a positive impact on the Portfolio’s results during the Reporting Period.

How was the Portfolio positioned at the end of the Reporting Period?

In terms of its Strategic Allocation at the end of the Reporting Period, the Portfolio maintained equal weightings in the Equity, Term, Flow and Volatility factors.

In terms of underlying asset classes and instruments, the Portfolio maintained positions in U.S. equities, listed U.S. equity index options and U.S. fixed income. In terms of currencies, it held long positions versus the U.S. dollar in the Canadian dollar and the euro. It held short positions relative to the U.S. dollar in the Australian dollar, British pound and the New Zealand dollar at the end of the Reporting Period. The Portfolio did not hold positions versus the U.S. dollar in the Swiss franc or Japanese yen at the end of the Reporting Period.

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

Effective April 20, 2018, Amna Qaiser no longer served as a portfolio manager of the Portfolio. On the same date, Nishank Modi became a portfolio manager of the Portfolio. By design, all investment decisions for the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. At the end of the Reporting Period, the portfolio managers for the Portfolio were Christian Morgenstern and Nishank Modi.

What was the Portfolio’s strategy at the end of the Reporting Period?

Going forward, the QIS Team plans to continue implementing the Goldman Sachs Strategic Factor Allocation process as it seeks long-term total return.

Performance Summary

August 31, 2018

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on May 31, 2016 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Portfolio’s benchmark, the Strategic Factor Allocation Composite Index, which is comprised of 50% of the S&P 500^® Index and 50% of 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 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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. Performance of Class P 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 Portfolio performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Portfolio operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Portfolio.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND

Notes to Financial Statements

August 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 Strategic Factor Allocation Fund (the “Portfolio”) is a non-diversified portfolio and currently offers three classes of shares — Institutional, Class P (commenced operations on April 17, 2018), and Class R6 Shares (commenced operations on December 29, 2017). Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Portfolio pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Investment Valuation — The Portfolio’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 Portfolio 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.

C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by the Portfolio are charged to the Portfolio, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the Portfolio 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 Transfer Agency fees.

D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Portfolio 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 annually.

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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio 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

GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 Portfolio’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 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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio, 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 Portfolio’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:

GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

August 31, 2018

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 Portfolio invests in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Portfolio’s 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.

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

A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a forward contract in which the Portfolio 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, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio and cash collateral received, 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 Portfolio, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments.

iii. Options — When the Portfolio 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

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

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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio’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.

C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Portfolio’s investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2018:

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES

The following table sets forth, by certain risk types, the gross value of derivative contracts (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) as of August 31, 2018. These instruments were used as part of the Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s net exposure.

(a)

Includes unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts described in the Additional Investment Information sections of the Schedule of Investments. Only the current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The following table sets forth, by certain risk types, the Portfolio’s gains (losses) related to these derivatives and their indicative volumes for the fiscal year ended August 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. These gains (losses) are included in “Net realized gain (loss)” or “Net change in unrealized gain (loss)” on the Statement of Operations:


Risk	Statement of Operations	Net Realized Gain (Loss)			Net Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss)		Average Number of Contracts^(a)
Interest rate	Net realized gain (loss) from futures contracts/Net change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts	$	(50,445,513	)	$	1,306,154		6,502

Total		$	39,081,052		$	5,789,568		6,517

(a)

Average number of contracts is based on the average of month end balances for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Portfolio mitigate its counterparty risk, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and certain options and swaps), and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued)

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 Portfolio and the counterparty. Additionally, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio, 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 Portfolio from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Portfolio bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Portfolio 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.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

A. Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio’s average daily net assets.

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


Contractual Management Rate
First $2 Billion		Next $3 Billion		Next $3 Billion		Over $8 Billion		Effective Rate		Effective Net Management Rate*^
	0.75%		0.68%		0.64%		0.62%		0.74%		0.65%

GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Portfolio in an amount equal to any management fee it earns as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated funds in which the Portfolio invests through at least December 29, 2018 for Institutional and Class R6 Shares, and through at least April 16, 2019 for Class P Shares. Prior to such dates GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees.

Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated Underlying Funds, if any.

The Portfolio invests in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Portfolio in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Portfolio invests, except those management fees it earns from the Portfolio’s investment of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Government Money Market Fund. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, GSAM waived $2,080,757 of the Portfolio’s management fee.

B. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolio 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: 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares and 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares.

August 31, 2018

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

C. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Portfolio (excluding acquired (underlying) 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 Portfolio. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Portfolio 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 for the Portfolio is 0.164%. The Other Expense limitation will remain in place through at least December 29, 2018 for Institutional and Class R6 Shares, and through at least April 16, 2019 for Class P Shares, and prior to such dates GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Portfolio has entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Portfolio’s expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

D. Line of Credit Facility — As of August 31, 2018, the Portfolio participated in a $770,000,000 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 Portfolio based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the Portfolio did not have any borrowings under the facility.

E. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 , Goldman Sachs did not earn any brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Portfolio.

As of August 31, 2018, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of approximately 100% of Class R6 Shares of the Portfolio.

Total taxable distributions	$	47,358,676

GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017 was as follows:


Distribution paid from:
Ordinary income	$	1,874,359
Net long-term capital gains		2,620,892
Total taxable distributions	$	4,495,251

As of August 31, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on a tax basis were as follows:


Undistributed ordinary income — net	$	67,448,565
Undistributed long-term capital gains		51,653,545
Total undistributed earnings	$	119,102,110
Unrealized gains (losses) — net		(5,155,928	)
Total accumulated earnings (losses) net	$	113,946,182

As of August 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:


Tax Cost	$	2,320,103,021
Gross unrealized gain		49,044,025
Gross unrealized loss		(54,199,953	)
Net unrealized gains (losses) on securities	$	(5,155,928	)

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, options contracts and foreign currency contracts.

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

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

8. OTHER RISKS

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

GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

August 31, 2018

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

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 Portfolio. 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

Foreign Custody Risk — If the Portfolio invests in foreign securities, the Portfolio may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Portfolio’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 Portfolio’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy.

Geographic Risk — If the Portfolio focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and the Portfolio’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Portfolio.

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an ETF, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Portfolio. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Portfolio to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Portfolio’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 Portfolio’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Portfolio’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Portfolio share purchases may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance to the extent that the Portfolio is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Portfolio trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Non-Diversification Risk — The Portfolio is non-diversified, meaning that it is permitted to invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, the Portfolio 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.

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

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Portfolios’ fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

Goldman Sachs Strategic Factor Allocation Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Goldman Sachs Strategic Factor Allocation Fund (one of the portfolios constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Portfolio”) as of August 31, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 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 Portfolio as of August 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 August 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 Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’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 Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

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 August 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 STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND

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

As a shareholder of Institutional, Class P and Class R6 Shares of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Institutional, Class P and Class R6 Shares of the Portfolio 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 March 1, 2018 through August 31, 2018, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year. The Class P example is based on the period from April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, which represents a period of 136 out of 365 days. The Class P example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from March 1, 2018 through August 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 Portfolio’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’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 Portfolio 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.


	Strategic Factor Allocation Fund
Share Class	Beginning Account Value 3/1/18		Ending Account Value 8/31/18			Expenses Paid for the 6 months ended 8/31/18*
Institutional
Actual		1,000.00		1,049.40			3.67
Hypothetical 5% return		1,000.00		1,021.63	+		3.62
Class P^(a)
Actual		1,000.00		1,039.70			2.70
Hypothetical 5% return		1,000.00		1,021.63	+		3.61
Class R6
Actual		1,000.00		1,050.40			3.62
Hypothetical 5% return		1,000.00		1,021.68	+		3.57

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

Expenses are calculated using the Portfolio’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended August 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: 0.71% for Institutional Shares, 0.71% for Class P Shares and 0.69% for Class R6 Shares.

The Trustees also received an overview of the Portfolio’s distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Portfolio’s assets and share purchase and redemption activity. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Portfolio shares. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Portfolio investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.

The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Portfolio and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Portfolio. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.

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

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

Investment Performance

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Portfolio. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of the Portfolio to its peers using rankings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2017. The information on the Portfolio’s investment performance was provided for the one-year period ending on the applicable date. The Trustees also reviewed the Portfolio’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Portfolio over time, and reviewed the investment performance of the Portfolio in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND

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

In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Portfolio performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Portfolio’s risk profile, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management. They noted the efforts of the Portfolio’s portfolio management team to continue to enhance the investment models used in managing the Portfolio.

The Trustees observed that the Portfolio’s Institutional Shares had underperformed the Portfolio’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees also noted that the Portfolio had experienced certain portfolio management changes in 2017 and the first half of 2018.

Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information

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

In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Portfolio. The analyses provided a comparison of the Portfolio’s management fee and breakpoints to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared the Portfolio’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing the Portfolio’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared the Portfolio’s transfer agency and custody fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Portfolio.

In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Portfolio, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Portfolio differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.

Profitability

The Trustees reviewed the Portfolio’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Portfolio and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for the Portfolio was provided for 2017 and 2016, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Portfolio. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for the Portfolio at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio:


First $2 billion	0.75	%
Next $3 billion	0.68
Next $3 billion	0.64
Over $8 billion	0.62

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

Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates

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

Other Benefits to the Portfolio and Its Shareholders

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

Conclusion

In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by the Portfolio were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and the Portfolio’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit the Portfolio and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to the Portfolio until June 30, 2019.

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks long-term total return.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions Group discusses the Goldman Sachs Tactical Exposure Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the period since its inception on September 6, 2017 through August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Institutional and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns of -3.54% and -3.54%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.69% cumulative 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 since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of -3.04% compared to the 0.89% cumulative total return of the Index.

References to the Fund’s benchmark and to other indices mentioned herein are for informational purposes only, and unless otherwise noted, are not indications of how the Fund is managed. The use of the Index as the Fund’s benchmark does not imply the Fund is being managed like cash and does not imply low risk or low volatility.

What economic and market factors most influenced the Fund during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, the Fund was influenced most by three factors — shifting global economic growth, geopolitics and central bank monetary policy.

The first factor was global economic growth, which was strong in September 2017 when the Reporting Period began. It accelerated into the end of the 2017 calendar year, staying robust through January 2018. Although some moderation was seen in the Eurozone and China, global economic growth remained healthy in February, according to manufacturing data. In March, however, economic growth slowed in Japan and the Eurozone, in contrast with the emerging markets where macroeconomic data was solid. Economic data in the Eurozone and Japan continued to moderate during the second quarter of 2018, with economic growth in the emerging markets softer than consensus expected. At the same time, the U.S. economy continued to expand. In the closing weeks of the Reporting Period, there were initial signs of renewed economic growth convergence between the U.S. and the rest of the world, driven mainly by softer U.S. economic data and the stabilization of global (ex-China) economic data.

The second of the factors influencing the Fund was geopolitics, which was highlighted by the deterioration of U.S.-Turkey and U.S.-Russia relationships, elections in Latin America and trade disputes between the U.S. and China.

The third factor was central bank monetary policy. During the Reporting Period, major global central banks continued to signal the gradual removal of accommodative monetary policy in line with their expectations of above-trend economic growth and diminishing slack in their respective nation’s economy. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued with its plan to gradually raise short-term interest rates, lifting them three times during the Reporting Period—in December 2017 and again in March and June 2018.

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

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective through the implementation of investment ideas that are generally derived from short-term or medium-term market views on a variety of asset classes and instruments.

Within equities, the Fund benefited from its tactical long position in global equities, but this was more than offset by our preference for emerging markets equities over developed markets equities, which detracted from performance.

Within fixed income, the Fund’s tactical breakeven inflation position, in which the Fund held a long position in Treasury inflation protected securities and a short position in U.S.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Treasury futures, added to returns as inflation increased during the Reporting Period. (The breakeven inflation rate 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. If inflation averages more than the breakeven, the inflation-linked investment will outperform the fixed-rate. Conversely, if inflation averages below the breakeven, the fixed-rate will outperform the inflation-linked.) For the same reason, the Fund was helped by its steepening position on the front, or short-term, end of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, which we initiated to express our view of a faster-than-market- implied pace of Fed rate hikes in 2019. (Yield curve is a spectrum of maturities. A steepening position seeks to take advantage of a widening differential between yields at the shorter- and longer-term ends of a range of maturities.) These positive results were almost completely offset by the Fund’s tactical long position in emerging markets debt, which detracted from returns.

Within commodities, the Fund was hampered by a short tactical position in crude oil, implemented through a short call spread strategy and long put options. (A call spread strategy involves purchasing call options at a specific strike price, while also selling the same number of calls of the same asset and expiration date but at a higher strike price. A call option is an option that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy an underlying asset at an agreed-upon price at any time up to an agreed-upon date. A put option is an option contract giving the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified amount of an underlying asset at a specified price within a specified time.) Crude oil prices rallied during the Reporting Period, as the balance between supply and demand tightened, largely because of production cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”), supply disruptions in Venezuela and increases in geopolitical risk. At the same time, demand remained strong in line with global economic activity. In addition, during the Reporting Period, the Fund was hurt by a short tactical position in gold, as gold prices benefited from a weaker U.S. dollar.

Within currencies, the Fund’s tactical exposure to emerging markets currencies, especially its long positions in the Turkish lira and Russian ruble, detracted from performance. The Turkish lira depreciated as Turkey’s real interest rates rose, driven by higher inflation; the country’s external bond prices fell; and the U.S.-Turkey relationship deteriorated. The Russian ruble weakened due to the imposition of fresh U.S. sanctions.

How was the Fund positioned at the beginning of the Reporting Period?

At the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Fund had approximately 46.74% of its total net assets in long equity-related investments; approximately 114.18% of its total net assets in long fixed income-related investments; approximately 2.50% of its total net assets in long commodity-related investments; and approximately 48.00% of its total net assets in long currency-related investments. It had short positions of approximately -43.34% of its total net assets in equity-related investments; approximately -101.31% of its total net assets in fixed income-related assets; approximately -2.51% of its total net assets in commodity-related investments; and approximately -48.00% of its total net assets in currency-related investments. These positions were accomplished through the use of exchange traded funds, equity futures, equity index options, interest rates futures, crude oil options and currency forwards. Although the above sector breakout is inclusive of derivative exposure across all asset classes, it does not necessarily include the cash held to support those positions. Derivatives positions are mostly supported by cash and short-term investments held in the Fund specifically to cover its exposure and any potential margin calls or future losses experienced.

How did you tactically manage the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, in response to shifting macroeconomic and market dynamics, we made a number of changes to the Fund’s tactical exposures. First, we increased the Fund’s position in equities during the first half of the Reporting Period, as we believed robust global economic growth should support earnings and lead to higher equity prices. In the second half the Reporting Period, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to equities as global economic growth moderated and trade tensions escalated. Second, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to interest rates by decreasing its tactical breakeven inflation position and increasing its long position in U.S.-dollar denominated emerging markets debt, as U.S. Treasury yields climbed during the Reporting Period. Although we believed yields would continue to rise, we took advantage of the opportunity to capture gains. Third, we shifted the Fund from a neutral position in crude oil to a short position in December 2017, as West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices inched toward the top end of our expected $40 to $60 price range. In our opinion, the increase in prices would be capped by growing U.S. shale production. Our view of crude oil grew more constructive toward the end of the first quarter of 2018 because of both OPEC production cuts and supply outages. At that time, we shifted the Fund from a short position to a long position in crude oil. Finally, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to emerging markets currencies at the end of the second calendar quarter, as economic growth outside the U.S. continued to decelerate. Trade war escalation and contagion risk from Argentina and Turkey also reduced our optimism about emerging markets currencies.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

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

The Fund used derivatives and similar instruments as part of its investment strategy to express views implemented in the Fund. Positions were supported predominantly by cash held in the Fund specifically to cover its exposure to derivative instruments and any potential margin calls or future losses experienced.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund employed forward foreign currency exchange contracts to express our currency views, which detracted from performance. The Fund used equity futures and equity index options to gain exposure to or express our bullish and/or bearish views about the equities of certain countries. Overall, the use of equity futures and equity index options had a small positive impact on Fund performance. Eurodollar futures, which were used to express our views on the pace of Fed interest rate hikes, contributed positively to performance. Eurodollar futures are contracts that have underlying assets linked to time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars at banks outside the U.S. The Fund’s use of call and put options to express our views on crude oil prices had a negative impact on returns. The Fund utilized interest rate swaps to express our views on the shape of the U.S. Treasury yield curve and the shape of the European government bond yield curve, which detracted modestly from performance during the Reporting Period.

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

At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had approximately 21.43% of its total net assets in long equity-related investments; approximately 104.81% of its total net assets in long fixed income-related investments; 40.51% of its total net assets in long commodity-related investments; and approximately 20.70% of its total net assets in long currency-related investments. It had no short positions in equity-related investments at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund had approximately -90.74% of its total net assets in fixed income-related investments; -35.95% of its total net assets in commodity-related investments; and -3.11% of its total net assets in currency-related investments. These positions were accomplished through the use of exchange traded funds, equity futures, equity index options, interest rates futures, crude oil options and currency forwards. Although the above sector breakout is inclusive of derivative exposure across all asset classes, it does not necessarily include the cash held to support those positions. Derivatives positions are mostly supported by cash and short-term investments held in the Fund specifically to cover its exposure and any potential margin calls or future losses experienced.

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

At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected the global economy to expand at what we viewed as a healthy rate. Therefore, we think corporate earnings may continue to grow, though at a more moderate pace in the near term than in 2017. In our view, this is likely to limit potential gains within global equities. Overall, however, we expect global equities to continue grinding higher.

Regarding fixed income, we think global yields will continue rising, driven by diminishing economic slack and higher inflation around the world.

Within the commodities markets, U.S. crude oil supply growth remained robust at the end of the Reporting Period but was offset by OPEC production cuts and massive supply disruptions outside the U.S. In our opinion, these disruptions could increase, temporarily pushing oil prices much higher. What we consider most likely, however, is that crude oil prices will become more range bound. OPEC production agreements should provide a floor for oil prices, we believe, while political pressure from consumer nations should reduce the probability of a sustained increase in prices.

In terms of positioning, we favored equities over corporate credit and corporate credit over government bonds at the end of the Reporting Period. Within equities, we see more potential upside for emerging markets equities compared to developed markets equities, as we expect emerging markets’ economic growth to accelerate relative to developed markets’ economic growth after the slowdown during the Reporting Period. Additionally, emerging markets equities appeared undervalued relative to developed markets equities, in our opinion. Within fixed income, we believe yields are likely to rise and are expressing this view through the Fund’s long U.S. breakeven inflation position and its short position in Eurodollar futures.

At the end of the Reporting Period, we saw three risks that might cause us to modify the Fund’s positioning. The first is an escalation in the trade war, though we believed trade tensions were contained at the end of the Reporting Period and unlikely to impact global economic growth. However, if the trade war worsens, we may reduce the Fund’s equity exposure, especially its exposure to emerging markets equities. The second risk is that inflation increases at a faster pace than we anticipate. Though not a near-term risk, in our view, we believe higher wage growth and inflation may become a risk for equities should the U.S. labor market continue to tighten. Higher inflation might lead us to reduce the Fund’s long equity positions and increase its short fixed income positions. The third risk is a slowdown in global economic growth, though this is not our base case. That said, we may reevaluate the Fund’s positioning in growth-sensitive assets, such as equities and emerging markets currencies, if weakness in macroeconomic data outside the U.S. persists into the fourth quarter of 2018.

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.

The ICE^® BofAML^® U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the “Index”) tracks the performance of a synthetic asset paying LIBOR to a stated maturity. The Index is based on the assumed purchase at par of a synthetic instrument having exactly its stated maturity and with a coupon equal to that day’s fixing rate. That issue is assumed to be sold the following day (priced at a yield equal to the current day fixing rate) and rolled into a new instrument. The Index figure does not reflect any deductions for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

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

Performance Summary

August 31, 2018

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2018, of a $10,000 investment made on September 6, 2017 (commencement of operations) in Class R6 Shares at NAV. 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 Institutional and Class P Shares will vary from Class R6 Shares due to differences in class specific fees. 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.

The Fund pays/receives annual coupon payments in accordance with the swap contracts. On the termination date of the swap contracts, 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 market value.

(a)

Payments made quarterly.

Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements

August 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 Tactical Exposure Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified fund and currently offers three classes of shares — Institutional, Class P and Class R6 Shares. The Fund commenced operations on September 6, 2017. Class P commenced operations on April 17, 2018. 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

A. Basis of Consolidation for Goldman Sachs Tactical Exposure Fund — The Cayman Commodity — TEX, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on June 27, 2017 and is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund to enable the Fund to gain exposure to certain types of commodity-linked derivative instruments. The Fund is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary pursuant to a subscription agreement dated as of September 6, 2017, and it is intended that the Fund will remain the sole shareholder and will continue to control the Subsidiary. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Subsidiary, shares issued by the Subsidiary confer upon a shareholder the right to vote at general meetings of the Subsidiary and certain rights in connection with any winding-up or repayment of capital, as well as the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiary. All inter-fund balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of August 31, 2018, the Fund’s net assets were $316,418,421, of which, $12,702,987, or 4.0%, represented the Subsidiary’s net assets.

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

C. 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.

D. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, 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 Transfer Agency fees.

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

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL EXPOSURE FUND

Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

August 31, 2018

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

F. 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 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 and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.

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

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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.

G. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of the 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 Consolidated 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 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL EXPOSURE FUND

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

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:

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 or Class R6 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 Fund invests in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Fund’s 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.

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, the 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 the 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 the Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

iv. 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

A total return swap is an agreement that gives the 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, the Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty.

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.

C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Fund’s investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2018:

Aggregate of amounts include $857,393, which represent the payments to be made pursuant to bilateral agreements should counterparties exercise their “right to terminate” provisions based on, among others, the Fund’s performance, its failure to pay on its obligations or failure to pledge collateral. Such amounts do not include incremental charges directly associated with the close-out of the agreements. They also do not reflect the fair value of any assets pledged as collateral which, through the daily margining process, substantially offsets the aforementioned amounts and for which the Fund is entitled to a full return.

The following tables set forth, by certain risk types, the Fund’s gains (losses) related to these derivatives and their indicative volumes for the period ended August 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. These gains (losses) are included in “Net realized gain (loss)” or “Net change in unrealized gain (loss)” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations:

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.

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 Consolidated Statements 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 Consolidated 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 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.

The following tables set forth the Fund’s net exposure for derivative instruments that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements as of August 31, 2018:

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

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

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets. For the period ended August 31, 2018, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:


Contractual Management Rate
First $2 billion		Next $3 billion		Next $3 billion		Over $8 billion		Effective Fee Rate		Effective Net Management Fee Rate^
	0.75%		0.68%		0.64%		0.63%		0.75%		0.55%

Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any.

The Fund invested in Institutional and/or Class R6 Shares of the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund and the Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund, which are affiliated Underlying Funds. 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 the affiliated Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests. For the period ended August 31, 2018, GSAM waived $508,462 of the Fund’s management fee.

GSAM also provides management services to the Subsidiary pursuant to a Subsidiary Management Agreement (the “Subsidiary Agreement”) and is entitled to a management fee accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.42% of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets. In consideration of the Subsidiary’s management fee, and for as long as the Subsidiary Agreement remains in effect, GSAM has contractually agreed to waive irrevocably a portion of the Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to the management fee accrued and paid to GSAM by the Subsidiary under the Subsidiary Agreement. For the period ended August 31, 2018, GSAM waived $56,622 of the Fund’s management fee. This waiver represents an inter-fund transaction and, accordingly, has been eliminated in consolidation.

B. 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 the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares.

C. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding acquired (underlying) fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, 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 limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Fund are 0.044%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least September 6, 2018 for Institutional and Class R6 Shares, and through at least April 16, 2019 for Class P Shares, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements 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” limitations described above.

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


Management Fees		Other Expense Reimbursements		Total Expense Reductions
$	508,462	$	450,546	$	959,008

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 period ended August 31, 2018, the Fund did not have any borrowings under the facility.

E. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the period ended August 31, 2018, Goldman Sachs did not earn any brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, on behalf of the Fund.

The columns for the Underlying Funds reflect the combined amounts of the initial Institutional Shares and subsequent Class R6 Shares.

As of August 31, 2018, the following Fund of Funds Portfolios were the beneficial owners of 5% or more of total outstanding shares of the Fund:


Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio		Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio		Goldman Sachs Growth & Income Strategy Portfolio
	19%		32%		35%

As of August 31, 2018, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of 10% of Class P Shares of the Fund.

6. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the period ended August 31, 2018, were $274,757,774 and $156,056,154, respectively.

7. TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions paid during the period ended August 31, 2018 was as follows:


Distribution paid from:
Ordinary income	$	1,439,894
Net long-term capital gains		160,327
Total taxable distributions	$	1,600,221

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

As of August 31, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on a tax basis were as follows:


Undistributed ordinary income — net	$	3,110,735
Undistributed long-term capital gains		2,170,020
Total undistributed earnings	$	5,280,755
Timing differences (Qualified Late Year Loss Deferral and Post October Losses)	$	(9,644,360	)
Unrealized gains (losses) — net		(5,454,030	)
Total accumulated earnings (losses) net	$	(9,817,635	)

As of August 31, 2018, the Fund’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:


Tax Cost	$	285,440,556
Gross unrealized gain		439,717
Gross unrealized loss		(5,893,747	)
Net unrealized gain (loss)	$	(5,454,030	)

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

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 certain non-deductible expenses and differences in the tax treatment of swap transactions, foreign currency transactions and underlying fund investments and eliminating entries related to cayman subsidiary.


Paid-in Capital			Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)		Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)
$	(2,192,371	)	$	8,694,294	$	(6,501,923	)

GSAM has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years (the current year) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

8. OTHER RISKS

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

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL EXPOSURE FUND

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

Geographic Risk — If the Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, it will subject the Fund, 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 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 changing rates may have 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 — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an 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 a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact 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.

Tax Risk — The Fund will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Subsidiary and/or commodity index-linked structured notes, as applicable. Historically, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued private letter rulings (“PLRs”) in which the IRS specifically concluded that income and gains from investments in commodity index-linked

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL EXPOSURE FUND

Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

August 31, 2018

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

structured notes or a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary that invests in commodity-linked instruments are “qualifying income” for purposes of compliance with Subchapter M of the Code. However, the Fund has not received a PLR, and is not able to rely on PLRs issued to other taxpayers. Additionally, the IRS has suspended the granting of such PLRs, pending review of its position on this matter. The IRS also recently issued proposed regulations that, if finalized, would generally treat the Fund’s income inclusion with respect to a subsidiary as qualifying income only if there is a distribution out of the earnings and profits of a subsidiary that are attributable to such income inclusion. The proposed regulations, if adopted, would apply to taxable years beginning on or after 90 days after the regulations are published as final.

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

9. INDEMNIFICATIONS

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the 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. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Fund’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.

Other than noted above, subsequent events after the Consolidated 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 Goldman Sachs Tactical Exposure Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Goldman Sachs Tactical Exposure Fund and its subsidiary (one of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for the period September 6, 2017 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2018, and the results of their operations, changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the period September 6, 2017 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. 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 audit of these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

As a shareholder of Institutional, Class P or Class R6 Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing Institutional, Class P or 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 March 1, 2018 through August 31, 2018, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year. The Class P example is based on the period from April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, which represents a period of 136 out of 365 days. The Class P example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from March 1, 2018 through August 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 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.

Expenses 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 August 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:


Institutional	Class P^(a)			Class R6
0.60%		0.63	%		0.59	%

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

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL EXPOSURE FUND

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

Background

The Goldman Sachs Tactical Exposure Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Fund at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Fund.

(a)

the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about:

(i)

the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams;

(ii)

(iii)

trends in employee headcount;

(iv)

the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and

(v)

the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its mutual fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management;

(b)

(c)

(d)

the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund;

(e)

fee and expense information for the Fund, including:

(i)

the relative management fee and expense levels of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider; and

(ii)

(f)

with respect to the investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund;

(g)

the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations;

(h)

information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates;

(i)

whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale;

(j)

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL EXPOSURE FUND

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

(k)

a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser;

(l)

(m)

portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers;

(n)

(o)

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

Investment Performance

The Trustees noted that the Fund had launched on September 6, 2017 and did not yet have a meaningful performance history.

Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL EXPOSURE FUND

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

In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Fund. The analyses provided a comparison of the Fund’s management fee and breakpoints to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared the Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing the Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared the Fund’s transfer agency and custody fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Fund.

In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. The Trustees noted that the Investment Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in an amount equal to the entire management fee paid to the Investment Adviser as the investment adviser to the Fund’s wholly-owned subsidiary. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Fund differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.

Profitability

The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for the Fund was provided for 2017 and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for the Fund at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Fund:


First $2 billion	0.75	%
Next $3 billion	0.68
Next $3 billion	0.64
Over $8 billion	0.63

The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Fund and its shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Fund; the Fund’s recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer group; and the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Fund that exceed a specified level. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels.

Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates

The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of the

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL EXPOSURE FUND

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

Fund; (c) research received by the Investment Adviser from broker-dealers in exchange for executing certain transactions on behalf of the Fund; (d) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Fund with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Fund on behalf of its other clients; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (g) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Fund; and (h) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Fund’s third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.

Other Benefits to the Fund and Its Shareholders

Conclusion

In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by the Fund were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and the Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit the Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to the Fund until June 30, 2019.

Investment Objective

The Portfolio seeks long-term total return.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund’s (the “Portfolio”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

How did the Portfolio perform during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s Institutional Shares generated an average annual total return of 2.39%. This return compares to the 1.72% average annual total return of the Portfolio’s benchmark, the ICE^® BofAML^® U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the “Index”), during the same time period.

For the period since their inception on December 29, 2017 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return of 0.61% compared to the 1.33% cumulative total return of the Index.

For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 1.13% compared to the 0.89% cumulative total return of the Index.

References to the Portfolio’s benchmark and to other indices mentioned herein are for informational purposes only, and unless otherwise noted, are not indications of how the Portfolio is managed. The use of the Index as the Portfolio’s benchmark does not imply the Portfolio is being managed like cash and does not imply low risk or low volatility.

What economic and market factors most influenced the Portfolio during the Reporting Period?

When the Reporting Period began in September 2017, investor sentiment was buoyant, with developed markets equities posting positive returns amid global economic growth. Within developed markets, European stocks recorded gains due to improving macroeconomic conditions, a moderately weaker euro and rising bond yields. Japanese equities rallied on the prospect of a national election, as market participants expected the Prime Minister to retain his leadership and reinforce Abenomics. (Abenomics refers to the multi-pronged economic program of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It seeks to remedy two decades of economic stagnation by increasing Japan’s money supply, boosting government spending and enacting reforms to make the economy more competitive.) As for emerging markets equities, they started September 2017 strongly but sold off into month end in response to renewed geopolitical tensions and hawkish comments from the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). (Hawkish comments suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) U.S. inflation data beat market expectations, which, alongside optimism about potential tax reform, pushed U.S. bond yields higher. Within commodities, crude oil prices rallied more than 8%, driven by the tighter compliance of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) with pledged production cuts as well as suggestions that those cuts would be extended until the end of 2018.

Global equities continued to rally in October 2017, as macroeconomic data remained strong, especially in the developed markets. Japanese equities advanced, as the Japanese yen weakened and the Prime Minister won a supermajority in the country’s elections. U.S. stocks gained, slightly outperforming European stocks. Emerging markets equities delivered positive returns and outpaced global equities broadly. In fixed income, 10-year U.S. Treasury yields rose on optimism about potential U.S. tax reform and anticipation about a new Fed chair. Higher yields, along with slightly dovish commentary from the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and Bank of Canada, helped drive appreciation in the U.S. dollar. Commodity prices surged, fueled by better global economic growth data and positive investor risk sentiment.

In the first half of November 2017, global equities broadly retreated on market expectations for sluggish corporate earnings as well as on soft data emanating from China and uncertainty about the passage of U.S. tax reform. U.S.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

equities rallied into month-end, as hopes of an earlier than consensus expected tax bill were renewed, while European equities lagged in the face of a stronger euro. The U.S. President nominated Jerome Powell to be the new Fed chair when Janet Yellen’s term expired in February 2018. Investors generally expected Powell to continue the gradual normalization of Fed monetary policy. Emerging markets equities outperformed developed markets for the first three weeks of November before selling off amid weakness in technology stocks. The U.S. Treasury yield curve (or spectrum of maturities) reached its flattest in a decade, as the U.S. Department of the Treasury boosted supply of short-maturity paper and the market anticipated a Fed interest rate hike in December 2017. (In a flattening yield curve, the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities narrows.) Crude oil prices rose during November, as OPEC announced an extension of its production cuts into the end of 2018.

Global equities rallied in December 2017 amid continued strength in global economic data and the much-anticipated U.S. tax reform bill being signed by the President. European equities retreated, as separatists won a majority in regional elections in Catalonia, Spain and the upcoming Italian election weighed on investor sentiment. China’s economic growth remained stable, helping emerging markets equities move higher. At their December policy meeting, Fed officials raised short-term interest rates and upgraded their economic growth forecasts for 2018 through 2020, after accounting for the potential impact of a U.S. corporate tax cut. Ten-year U.S. Treasury yields dropped slightly, as the corporate tax cut offset lackluster U.S. inflation. Commodities experienced a broad-based rally, with oil, copper and gold all ending the month in positive territory.

In January 2018, global equities were supported by improving macroeconomic data along with positive corporate earnings reports. Within developed markets, U.S. equities advanced, while Japanese and U.K. equities sold off as the strength of the Japanese yen and British pound weighed on their exporting companies. Emerging markets equities outperformed developed markets equities, bolstered by global economic growth, what many considered to be attractive valuations and higher commodity prices. Within fixed income, 10-year U.S. Treasury and German government bond yields rose on positive economic data, stabilization in U.S. inflation and the hawkish tone of minutes from the ECB’s December 2017 policy meeting. The U.S. dollar, which had depreciated during 2017 as a whole, continued to weaken versus other major currencies in January 2018 amid contained geopolitical concerns and trade conflicts, improved global economic growth and expectations for tighter monetary policy by the central banks of major developed markets.

During February 2018, U.S. equities declined as volatility surged. The CBOE Volatility Index^® (“VIX^®”), a measure of volatility in the U.S. equity market, rose to touch 50 points intra-day on February 6, 2018. Volatility subsequently subsided, and the VIX^® ended the month just below 20. Still, U.S. stocks were pressured by strong wage growth data, which led to a shift in market expectations for Fed interest rate hikes. Global economic growth remained healthy, according to manufacturing data, though some moderation was seen in the Eurozone and in China. Global equities broadly retreated, with emerging markets equities underperforming developed markets equities. Rising U.S. Treasury yields and falling commodity prices dampened the performance of emerging markets stocks. The increase in U.S. Treasury yields was the result of better than consensus expected inflation and wage growth data. Also in February, the U.S. dollar gained against most major currencies except the Japanese yen. Commodities, including crude oil, experienced a broad-based selloff, pressured by U.S. dollar strength and the decline of the U.S. equity market.

Global equities remained under stress during March 2018, with increased political rhetoric around trade protectionism extending February’s decline. In the second half of the month, data privacy concerns triggered a selloff in U.S. information technology stocks, as investors started pricing in the potential of a regulatory backlash. Given the greater weight of the information technology sector in the S&P 500^® Index, U.S. stocks underperformed European and Japanese stocks in March. Developed markets stocks overall underperformed emerging markets equities, as economic growth in the Eurozone and Japan moderated from their previously strong pace and macroeconomic data in the emerging markets remained healthy. During the month, the Fed raised short-term interest rates in line with market expectations. The tone of the policy meeting, however, was perceived as relatively dovish, and 10-year U.S. Treasury yields fell. Among currencies, the U.S. dollar weakened. The British pound was the best performing currency, as the U.K. and European Union reached a deal on the Brexit transition. (Brexit refers to the U.K.’s efforts to leave the European Union.) In commodities, crude oil prices were up, as supply and demand conditions remained tight due to OPEC production cuts and a supply disruption in Venezuela.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Global equities recovered some of their losses in April 2018 and finished the month with a gain. The absence of further trade war escalation, receding concerns about the regulation of the U.S. information technology sector and better-than-market-expected earnings supported global equities. Economic growth continued to moderate in the Eurozone and Japan, but the U.S. economy continued to expand. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield moved higher, pushed up by increasing U.S. inflationary pressures and market expectations of a faster pace of Fed rate hikes. Meanwhile, economic growth in the emerging markets was softer than consensus expected. Along with higher U.S. Treasury yields and strength in the U.S. dollar, this drove the underperformance of emerging markets equities versus developed markets equities. Among developed markets equities, U.K. and European stocks led performance, benefiting from the depreciation of the British pound and the euro versus the U.S. dollar. Emerging markets currencies also suffered versus the U.S. dollar. In commodities, gold was down due to U.S. dollar strength. However, crude oil prices rallied, as supply and demand remained fairly tight.

In May 2018, investor sentiment was dominated by renewed concerns about the stability of the European Union due to political uncertainty in Italy. That country’s coalition government vowed to defy European Union budget rules, saying that austerity had failed and that fiscal expansion (i.e., spending and tax cuts) was the solution to Italy’s financial troubles. The political uncertainty was exacerbated when the Italian President rejected the nomination of a finance minister. Regarding market performance, global equities declined mid-month but posted a gain for May overall, fueled by the positive performance of U.K. and U.S. stocks. Within developed markets equities, European stocks produced the worst results. Emerging markets equities lagged their developed markets peers amid free trade concerns, higher U.S. yields during the first half of May and a stronger U.S. dollar. In commodities, Brent crude oil prices were up, while West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil prices were down, with the widening difference between them due to logistical constraints.

Trade-related tensions and weakness in Chinese macroeconomic data set the tone for the performance of global equities during June 2018. As the U.S. pushed forward with trade tariffs, market participants grappled with the potential impact of retaliatory tariffs from other countries as well as the risk of an escalating trade war. Global equities, which had advanced early in the month, gave up most of their gains by the end of June. Within developed markets equities, U.S. stocks were the top performers, while European, U.K. and Japanese stocks were down modestly. Within emerging markets stocks, Chinese equities were pressured by negative market sentiment in combination with economic data that surprised to the downside. As a result, emerging markets stocks broadly declined. In fixed income, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was up modestly, while German interest rates remained flat. At its June policy meeting, the Fed raised short-term interest rates and increased its forecast from a total of three rates hikes during 2018 to a total of four. In contrast, the ECB indicated it would not raise interest rates for a year or more. The U.S. dollar continued its upward trend versus other major developed currencies. In commodities, gold prices fell amid strength in the U.S. dollar, while copper prices declined due to the risk of escalating trade wars. Crude oil prices rose on limited supply.

In July 2018, global equities rallied on tentative signs of stabilization in global economic growth and news of a strong U.S. corporate earnings season. On the geopolitical front, U.S.-China trade tensions remained in focus, as the U.S. President announced the imposition of a 10% tariff on an additional $200 billion worth of Chinese goods by August 30, 2018. However, the markets took a positive cue from the joint agreement between the U.S. and European Commission Presidents on “zero tariffs, zero non-tariff barriers, and zero subsidies on all non-auto industrial goods.” Within developed markets equities, U.S. and European stocks were the best performers. U.S. equities benefited from strong corporate earnings, while European equities benefited from the de-escalation of trade tensions between the U.S. and European Union. Japanese and U.K. equities also generated positive returns. Emerging markets equities lagged their developed markets peers. Weaker Chinese economic data and U.S.-China trade tensions dragged down Chinese equities. In fixed income, 10-year U.S. Treasury yields rose, but investors generally focused on the 10-year Japanese government bond yield, which climbed in anticipation of the Bank of Japan’s (“BoJ”) plan to adjust its “yield curve control.” (Yield curve control is designed to steepen Japan’s government bond yield curve and alleviate the impact on financial institutions of low longer-term rates.) The U.S. dollar weakened modestly versus other major currencies during July. In commodities, crude oil prices declined due to increased production by OPEC and Russia.

In August 2018, there were initial signs of economic growth convergence between the U.S. and the rest of the world, driven mainly by softer U.S. economic data and the

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

stabilization of global economic data. The exception was China, where industrial production, retail sales and fixed asset investments surprised to the downside. Overall, global equities recorded a small gain, driven by a rally in U.S. stocks. Weaker Chinese data, the unresolved U.S.-China trade dispute, concerns around emerging markets’ debt and external funding needs, and looming Italian budget negotiations led to the comparative underperformance of non-U.S. developed markets equities and emerging markets equities. In fixed income, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell, pushed lower mostly by a broad sell-off in emerging markets assets. Fed policymakers continued to express confidence in U.S. economic growth and in a sustained inflation rate near their 2% target. They also indicated that further interest rate hikes would be appropriate in the near term, as they saw limited risks to the U.S. economy of tighter financial conditions. During August, the U.S. dollar strengthened slightly versus other major currencies. In commodities, crude oil prices rose due to tightening supply. However, copper prices fell on weaker Chinese economic data and trade-related worries.

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

The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective through the implementation of investment ideas that are generally derived from short-term or medium-term market views on a variety of asset classes and instruments.

Within equities, the Portfolio was hurt by its long position in Spanish equities, which retreated near the end of 2017 after separatists won a majority in Catalonian regional elections. Spanish stocks were also pushed down by prolonged uncertainty surrounding Catalonia, leading to lower economic growth forecasts for Spain as a whole. In addition, the Portfolio was hampered by a long position in European bank stocks, which were down because of their exposure to default risk on Turkish loans. Uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policy with the European Union and Italy’s debt levels weighed broadly on European stocks, including Spanish equities and European bank stocks. On the positive side, the Portfolio benefited from its long positions in U.S. large-cap banks amid the strong performance of U.S. large-cap stocks generally during the Reporting Period.

Long positions in the Alerian MLP Index added to the Portfolio’s returns. During the early part of the Reporting Period, energy MLPs declined because of earlier distribution cuts by energy master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and because natural gas prices did not rally as crude oil prices did. (Energy MLPs transport both crude oil and natural gas.) However, energy MLPs recovered in the second half of the Reporting Period, as a majority of Alerian MLP Index constituents either met or beat market expectations for their first quarter 2018 results. The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission also provided clarity on its March 2018 policy changes, helping to alleviate uncertainties for the sector.

Within fixed income, the Portfolio’s position in energy-related high yield corporate bonds added to returns. These holdings benefited from the rally in crude oil prices in the first half of the Reporting Period, driven by OPEC’s tighter compliance with its production cuts and market expectations that those cuts would be extended until the end of 2018. Exposure to bank loans also contributed positively to performance, as short-term interest rates rose and investor sentiment about corporate credit improved.

Regarding its currency exposures, the Portfolio’s short position in the euro versus a long position in the Swedish krona detracted from performance. Sweden’s economic recovery was more advanced relative to that of the Eurozone, and the country’s inflation rate was near Sweden’s central bank’s, i.e., the Riksbank, target. However, a series of weaker than market expected economic releases decreased investor confidence about when Sweden’s central bank would begin tightening monetary policy.

How was the Portfolio positioned at the beginning of the Reporting Period?

At the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Portfolio had approximately 13.11% of its total net assets invested in long equity-related investments; approximately 22.90% of its total net assets invested in long fixed income-related investments; approximately 25.48% of its total net assets invested in long currency-related investments; and approximately 3.42% of its total net assets invested in long commodity-related investments. It had short positions of approximately -0.13% of its total net assets in equity-related investments and approximately -6.45% of its total net assets in fixed income-related investments.

The above sector breakout is inclusive of derivative exposure across all asset classes, but it does not necessarily include the cash held to support those positions. Derivatives are mostly supported by cash and short-term investments held in the Portfolio specifically to cover its exposure and any potential margin calls or future losses experienced. Given the line-up

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

of positions held, most of them were derivatives-based, so the Portfolio’s cash allocation at the beginning of the Reporting Period was high.

How did you tactically manage the Portfolio’s allocations during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, in response to shifting macroeconomic and market dynamics, we made a number of changes to the Portfolio’s exposures.

In terms of equity-related exposures, we increased the Portfolio’s long position in Spanish equities (implemented through IBEX 35 Index futures) in the first half of the Reporting Period. Despite market concerns, economic growth remained healthy in Spain and in the Eurozone, where leading indicators suggested growth momentum would continue for the foreseeable future, in our view. In November 2017, we added a long position in Japanese equities, implemented through Japanese equity call options. (A call option is an option that gives the holder the right to buy a certain quantity of an underlying security at an agreed-upon price at any time up to an agreed-upon date.) Japanese equity prices had not risen in line with profit margins and corporate earnings, which had reached multi-decade highs, and we saw signs of stronger corporate governance, which might precipitate foreign investment inflows. We subsequently eliminated the position by letting the call options expire “out of the money” during the first quarter of 2018. (“Out of the money” is a term used to describe a call option with a strike price that is higher than the market price of the underlying asset, or a put option with a strike price that is lower than the market price of the underlying asset. A put option is an option contract giving the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified amount of an underlying asset at a specified price within a specified time.) Foreign investment inflows had not yet manifested, and while corporate earnings had increased, Japanese equity prices remained essentially unchanged.

In addition, we implemented a systematic downside mitigation tactical tilt, which we increased during the first half of the Reporting Period because of what we viewed as elevated equity valuations and low volatility. (The systematic downside mitigation tactical tilt was designed to limit the Portfolio’s exposure to potential market declines through the shorting of U.S. large-cap stocks that we believed might underperform the broader U.S. stock market, while at the same time taking a long position in the broader U.S. stock market.) During the first few months of the Reporting Period, we allowed the Portfolio’s hedging positions on U.S. equities, which had been implemented using put options on the S&P 500^® Index, to mature. Although the position expired “out of the money,” it served its intended purpose, which was to allow the Portfolio to remain invested in tactical tilts we found attractive, while also acknowledging several sources of potential downside event risk. In July 2018, we reestablished the Portfolio’s hedging positions on U.S. equities. The U.S. President’s imposition of tariffs on China had increased downside risks for U.S. equities in the near term, in our view, and we believed these hedging positions had the potential to mitigate the Portfolio’s exposure. Near the end of the Reporting Period, we eliminated the hedging positions, as we believed downside risks had eased for the U.S. equity markets, thanks to continued acceleration in U.S. economic growth and corporate profits, while downside risks stayed elevated for Chinese equities and other emerging markets stocks.

Also, during the first half of the Reporting Period, we decreased the Portfolio’s short position in S&P 500^® Energy Index put options, which had been implemented to provide the Portfolio with premium income and/or to allow it to gain exposure to the U.S. energy sector at what we considered attractive valuations. We exited the position after the energy sector rallied, as we believed there was limited remaining upside potential.

Near the middle of the Reporting Period, we added a long position in South African equities through FTSE/JSE Top 40 Index futures versus a short position in emerging markets equities through MSCI Emerging Markets Index futures. Retail sales and loan growth had been stronger in South Africa than in a number of other emerging countries, and we thought the long rally in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index increased the odds of an eventual decline. We increased this tactical positioning during the second half of the Reporting Period amid weakness in South African equities and as we continued to anticipate a correction in emerging markets stocks.

Additionally, we replaced the Portfolio’s long position in EURO STOXX 50^® 2018 dividend futures with long positions in select country-specific equity index futures within the EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) region during the Reporting Period. We believed that transitioning the Portfolio’s exposure offered an attractive risk/reward tradeoff, as the Portfolio had already realized most of the gains we expected from the long position in EURO STOXX 50^® 2018 dividend futures and saw opportunity from a recent sell-off in the MSCI EAFE Index. Toward the end of the

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Reporting Period, we eliminated the Portfolio’s long positions in select country-specific equity index futures within the EAFE region. Although we continued to have a positive outlook on certain market segments, including Spanish and Eurozone bank stocks, we thought valuations offered the Portfolio an attractive exit point from a risk/reward perspective.

Finally, we added a long position in European bank stocks during the second half of the Reporting Period due to what we saw as attractive valuations, improving fundamentals and recent investment outflows. We increased this position on news of positive second quarter 2018 earnings growth and improved credit quality of Eurozone banks.

In fixed income, near the beginning of the Reporting Period, we established a position that was short the three-year U.S. swap rate one-year forward. We believed the interest rate on a three-year U.S. interest rate swap would be higher in one year than the market was anticipating because of improving global economic growth and increased investor confidence in the U.S. growth outlook. We removed this position in the middle of the Reporting Period, as we believed the market had limited ability to price in additional Fed interest rate hikes. Also during the Reporting Period, we reduced the Portfolio’s allocation to U.S. high yield loans and added a duration-neutral high yield corporate bond tactical tilt. This positioning sought to benefit from the spread (i.e., the difference in yields between securities of comparable maturity) offered as compensation for the risk of potential default, which we thought was more attractive for high yield corporate bonds than for high yield loans. In addition, we closed the Portfolio’s short position in five-year German government bonds, as we believed German government bond spreads no longer offered an attractive risk/reward opportunity due to market expectations about the ECB’s monetary policy stance. Furthermore, in the first half of the Reporting Period, we reduced the Portfolio’s long position in energy-related high yield corporate bonds, as we believed valuations offered an attractive exit point and crude oil prices were at the high end of our forecast. We further decreased this position in the second half of the Reporting Period. Additionally, during the first half of the Reporting Period, we established a position that was short the three-year British pound swap rate one-year forward. We believed there was a possibility that U.K. interest rates would catch up to global interest rates, as evidenced by an increase in two-year U.S. Treasury yields. We increased the position during the second half of the Reporting Period but ultimately eliminated it. In our view, the Bank of England (“BoE”) was unlikely to signal a faster pace of rate hikes, and we saw limited scope for U.K. interest rates to climb until political uncertainty subsided.

Regarding currency-related exposures, we added a short position in the euro versus a long position in the Swedish krona during the Reporting Period. In our view, Sweden’s economic recovery was more advanced than that of the Eurozone overall. We also considered the Swedish krona undervalued versus the euro. We eliminated this positioning in the second half of the Reporting Period, as a series of weaker than market expected economic releases decreased investor confidence about when Sweden’s central bank would begin tightening its monetary policy. A short position in the euro versus the U.S. dollar was added to the Portfolio for a short time at the beginning of May 2018. However, we removed it in June based on improved market confidence about the stability of the European Union and the ability of the new Italian government to manage the country with a degree of fiscal discipline, as well as on hawkish data from the ECB that was supportive of the euro. In addition, during September 2017 and again in January 2018, we decreased the Portfolio’s long position in the British pound versus its short position in the U.S. dollar, as existing market levels provided what we considered to be attractive points at which to reduce the position. Between the time we had initiated the position in January 2017 and January 2018, the British pound had appreciated approximately 13% against the U.S. dollar. We subsequently increased this position during the second half of the Reporting Period. The British pound depreciated near the beginning of the summer, and we thought the probability of an August 2018 rate hike by the BoE was higher than priced in by the market. In addition, during May 2018, we established long positions in the Russian ruble versus the euro and in the Russian ruble versus the U.S. dollar, implemented through three-month call options at-the-money spot. (At-the-money spot is when the strike price of an option is equal to the prevailing market price at which a given asset can be bought or sold for immediate settlement.) The Russian ruble had depreciated at the time the position was initiated, and the Russian economy had started growing again after a recession in 2015-2016. At the end of May 2018, as the Russian ruble started to appreciate relative to the euro, we removed the Portfolio’s long position in the Russian ruble versus the euro in order to realize a profit. Toward the end of the Reporting Period, we eliminated the Portfolio’s long position in the Russian ruble versus the U.S. dollar amid emerging markets investment outflows and U.S. dollar strength. Elsewhere, in the middle of the Reporting Period,

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

we reduced the Portfolio’s long position in the U.S. dollar versus its short position in the Japanese yen. In the first part of February 2018, the U.S. dollar depreciated almost 6% versus the Japanese yen, which we believed raised the risk the Japanese yen would strengthen in the short term. Longer term, however, we expected the BoJ to maintain an accommodative monetary policy, while we anticipated higher interest rates in the U.S. Given these competing short-term and long-term views, we decided to reduce the position.

Regarding commodities, we eliminated the Portfolio’s overall exposure at the beginning of the Reporting Period. Specifically, we removed the Portfolio’s position in natural gas futures in September 2017, as we believed the risk/reward opportunity diminished. Mild weather had been an impediment to natural gas prices moving higher, and we thought it prudent to exit the position. Near the end of the Reporting Period, we reestablished the Portfolio’s commodity-related exposure by adding an option call spread on WTI crude oil. (An option call spread is a strategy that involves purchasing call options at a specific strike price, while simultaneously selling call options on the same asset but at a higher strike price.) The crude oil market had tightened during the prior few months, with inventories moving back within their normal five-year average range. In our view, speed of tightening has been a bullish signal for crude oil prices historically.

Separately, we increased the Portfolio’s allocation to energy MLPs at the beginning and again in the middle of the Reporting Period. In our opinion, their valuations were attractive due to previous underperformance by the Alerian MLP Index. Also, we considered the distribution yields of energy MLPs more attractive than the yields offered by other types of securities.

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

The Portfolio used derivatives and similar instruments as part of its investment strategy to express views implemented in the Portfolio. Positions were supported predominantly by cash held in the Portfolio specifically to cover its exposure to derivative instruments and any potential margin calls or future losses experienced.

During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio employed equity, bond and commodity futures, equity and interest rate swaps, currency forwards, options and credit default swaps to express active investment views with greater versatility across regional equity markets, global market sectors, commodities markets and currency markets. Collectively, the Portfolio’s use of equity, bond and commodity futures had a positive impact on performance. Equity futures, especially those used to establish a short position in emerging markets equities and to gain exposure to the U.S. equity market, added to performance. Bond futures, which the Portfolio employed for its long position in investment grade fixed income, detracted from returns. Commodities futures, employed to express our views on natural gas prices, had a slightly negative impact on results. The Portfolio employed an equity swap on a custom basket of stocks to implement short positions in U.S. large-cap stocks within the systematic downside mitigation tactical tilt, which had a negative impact on performance. The Portfolio’s use of interest rate swaps to express our views on the U.S. dollar added to returns, though this was offset somewhat by the use of interest rate swaps to express our views on U.K. interest rates, which detracted. Currency forwards, which we employed to express our views on developed and emerging markets currencies, detracted overall from performance, though their use to implement a long position in the British pound versus a short position in the U.S. dollar contributed positively. To afford greater risk management precision, options on equity indices were also employed to tactically adjust the amount of equity risk and downside risk in the Portfolio. The Portfolio’s use of equity options, led by put options on the S&P 500^® Energy Index, added to performance. In addition, the Portfolio used commodity options to express our views of WTI crude oil prices, which had a positive impact on performance. Finally, the use of credit default swaps within the Portfolio’s duration-neutral high yield corporate bond tactical tilt contributed positively to performance during the Reporting Period.

How was the Portfolio positioned at the end of the Reporting Period?

At the end of the Reporting Period, the Portfolio had approximately 33.74% of its total net assets invested in long equity-related investments; approximately 35.58% of its total net assets invested in long fixed income-related investments; approximately 17.89% of its total net assets invested in long currency-related investments; and 0.16% of its total net assets invested in long commodity-related investments. It had short positions of approximately -9.76% of its total net assets in a basket of large-cap equity-related investments that we believed might underperform the U.S. stock market and also short positions of approximately -3.22% of its total net assets in emerging markets equity-related investments. The Portfolio had no short positions in fixed income-related investments at the end of the Reporting Period.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

What is the Portfolio’s tactical asset allocation view and strategy for the months ahead?

At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected global economic activity to accelerate in 2018 overall, with modestly higher growth rates in the U.S., Eurozone and many emerging markets but with slightly slower growth rates in the U.K., Japan and China. In the U.S., the tax legislation signed into law during December 2017 seemed likely to continue supporting 2018 economic growth, in our view. In Europe, we believe Germany’s fourth budget surplus in as many years is a potential source of fiscal stimulus and higher economic growth.

As for central bank monetary policy, we expect it to remain relatively accommodative in the U.S., given the slow and steady pace at which the Fed has been raising short-term interest rates. At the same time, we believe the ECB may allow quantitative easing to end later in 2018, and we believe the BoJ is likely to stay on hold. In our opinion, favorable monetary and fiscal policies and the absence of fiscal imbalances substantially reduce the probability of recession in key developed and emerging markets countries in the near term.

Despite this positive backdrop, we see no shortage of global risks, including rising political polarization in the U.S., growing populism globally, heightening geopolitical tensions, spreading terrorism and increasing cyberattacks. China remains a big source of uncertainty in the long term because of its growing debt burden, but capital controls, a stronger government role in the economy and faster global economic growth have lowered near-term risks, we believe. We also believe there is the potential of a continued deterioration in the U.S.-China relationship under the current U.S. Administration, driven by changing trade and foreign policy. The collective impact of these various risks is not large enough to undermine our core view that the U.S. is experiencing a longer than normal economic recovery and that this recovery is more likely than not to continue through 2018.

Looking ahead, we think the global environment is supportive of positive equity market returns, which we expect to exceed those of cash and bonds. Thus, we plan to focus the Portfolio on opportunities in equities, including tactical tilts to certain U.S. equity sectors as well as to European and Japanese stocks. We also favor U.S. high yield corporate bonds. In addition, we continue to hold positions related to individual currency views. Overall, we have modest return expectations for the rest of 2018, and while equity valuations remained high at the end of the Reporting Period, we believe they are supported by steady U.S. economic growth as well as by low and stable inflation.

The ICE^®BofAML^®U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the “Index”) tracks the performance of a synthetic asset paying LIBOR to a stated maturity. The Index is based on the assumed purchase at par of a synthetic instrument having exactly its stated maturity and with a coupon equal to that day’s fixing rate. That issue is assumed to be sold the following day (priced at a yield equal to the current day fixing rate) and rolled into a new instrument. The Index figure does not reflect any deductions for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

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

If these arrangements are discontinued in the future, the expense ratios may change without shareholder approval.

Short-term investments represent certificates of deposits and commercial papers. Figures in the graph may not sum to 100% due to the exclusion of other assets and liabilities. The graph does not depict the investment in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle. The Investment in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 5.8% of the Portfolio’s net assets as of August 31, 2018. The graph depicts the Portfolio’s investments but may not represent the Portfolio’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Performance Summary

August 31, 2018

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on July 31, 2014 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Portfolio’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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. Performance of Class P and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Portfolio performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Portfolio operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Portfolio.

(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.

Payments made quarterly.

(b)

Payments made monthly.

(c)

The Portfolio pays/receives annual coupon payments in accordance with the swap contract(s). On the termination date of the swap contract(s), the Portfolio 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).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

August 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 Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund (the “Portfolio”) is a diversified portfolio and currently offers three classes of shares — Institutional, Class P and Class R6 Shares. Class P Shares commenced operations on April 17, 2018 and Class R6 Shares commenced operations on December 29, 2017. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Portfolio pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Basis of Consolidation for Goldman Sachs Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund — The Cayman Commodity — TTIF, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on July 31, 2014 and is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Portfolio. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Portfolio to enable the Portfolio to gain exposure to certain types of commodity-linked derivative instruments. The Portfolio is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary pursuant to a subscription agreement dated as of July 31, 2014, and it is intended that the Portfolio will remain the sole shareholder and will continue to control the Subsidiary. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Subsidiary, shares issued by the Subsidiary confer upon a shareholder the right to vote at general meetings of the Subsidiary and certain rights in connection with any winding-up or repayment of capital, as well as the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiary. All inter-fund balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of August 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s net assets were $4,412,198,668, of which, $363,886,379, or 8.2%, represented the Subsidiary’s net assets.

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

C. 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 Portfolio 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 from master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) are generally recorded based on the characterization reported on the MLP’s tax return. The Portfolio records its pro-rata share of the income/loss and capital gains/losses, allocated from the underlying partnerships and adjusts the cost basis of the underlying partnerships accordingly.

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 Consolidated 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 swap contracts 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.

D. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by the Portfolio are charged to the Portfolio, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL TILT OVERLAY FUND

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

August 31, 2018

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Portfolio 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 Transfer Agency fees.

E. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Portfolio 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 annually.

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

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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio’s net assets on the Consolidated Statement 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 Portfolio 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 Consolidated 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 Portfolio’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 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL TILT OVERLAY FUND

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:

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 Portfolio invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Portfolio’s 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

August 31, 2018

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

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, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio and cash collateral received, 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 Portfolio, if any, is noted in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by the Portfolio, 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 the Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio is required to satisfy an initial margin requirement by delivering cash or securities to the counterparty (or in some cases, segregated in a

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL TILT OVERLAY FUND

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

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.

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 Portfolio’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio, 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio generally receives a payment stream throughout the term of the swap, provided that there is no credit event. In addition, if the Portfolio sells protection through a credit default swap, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio, 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio bought credit protection.

A total return swap is an agreement that gives the Portfolio the right to receive the appreciation in 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, the Portfolio may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty.

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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio’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.

The following tables set forth, by certain risk types, the Portfolio’s gains (losses) related to these derivatives and their indicative volumes for the fiscal year ended August 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. These gains (losses) are included in “Net realized gain (loss)” or “Net change in unrealized gain (loss)” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations:

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued)

Collateral and margin requirements differ between exchange traded derivatives and OTC derivatives. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearing house for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives (financial futures contracts, options and centrally cleared swaps) pursuant to governing agreements for those instrument types. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Portfolio and the counterparty. Additionally, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, 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 the Portfolio from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Portfolio bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Portfolio 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.

The following tables set forth the Portfolio’s net exposure for derivative instruments that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements as of August 31, 2018:

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

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

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


Contractual Management Rate								Effective Management Fee Rate		Effective Net Management Fee Rate*^(a)
First $2 billion		Next $3 billion		Next $3 billion		Over $8 billion		Effective Management Fee Rate		Effective Net Management Fee Rate*^(a)
	0.75%		0.68%		0.64%		0.62%		0.71%		0.64%

Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated Underlying Funds, if any.

(a)

Reflects combined management fees paid to GSAM under the Agreement and the Subsidiary Agreement as defined below after waivers.

The Portfolio invests in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), Class R6 Shares of the Goldman Sachs High Yield Floating Rate Fund and the Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund, which are affiliated Underlying Funds. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Portfolio in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests, except those management fees it earns from the Portfolio’s investment of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Government Money Market Fund. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, GSAM waived $3,285,556 of the Portfolio’s management fee.

GSAM also provides management services to the Subsidiary pursuant to a Subsidiary Management Agreement (the “Subsidiary Agreement”) and is entitled to a management fee accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.42% of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets. In consideration of the Subsidiary’s management fee, and for as long as the Subsidiary Agreement remains in effect, GSAM has contractually agreed to waive irrevocably a portion of the Portfolio’s management fee in an amount equal to the management fee accrued and paid to GSAM by the Subsidiary under the Subsidiary Agreement. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, GSAM waived $1,498,313 of the Portfolio’s management fee. This waiver represents an inter-fund transaction and, accordingly, has been eliminated in consolidation.

B. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolio 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 of 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares and 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares and Class P Shares.

C. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Portfolio (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, 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 Portfolio. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Portfolio is 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 Portfolio are 0.164%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2018 for Institutional and Class R6 Shares, and through at least April 16, 2019 for Class P Shares, and prior to such dates GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Portfolio has entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Portfolio’s expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

6. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, were $336,851,433 and $735,455,219, respectively.

7. SECURITIES LENDING

The Portfolio may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Portfolio’s securities lending procedures, the Portfolio receives cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL TILT OVERLAY FUND

7. SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

of the Portfolio, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Portfolio on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Portfolio may experience delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Portfolio or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

The Portfolio invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Government Money Market Fund, an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% (prior to February 21, 2018, GSAM may have received a management fee of up to 0.205%) on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.

In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Portfolio whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Portfolio by paying the Portfolio an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The amounts of the Portfolio’s overnight and continuous agreements represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of August 31, 2018 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

Both the Portfolio and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Portfolio’s securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Portfolio’s for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The following table provides information about the Portfolio’s investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018.

Total accumulated earnings (losses) net	$	(124,777,306	)

(1)

The Portfolio utilized $37,119,589 of capital losses in the current fiscal year.

As of August 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:


Tax Cost	$	4,460,661,271
Gross unrealized gain		79,048,706
Gross unrealized loss		(2,563,197	)
Net unrealized gains on investments	$	76,485,509

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 option contracts, net mark to market gains/(losses) on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments, and swap transactions.


Paid-in Capital			Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)		Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)
$	(140,486	)	$	3,239,788	$	(3,099,302	)

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

9. OTHER RISKS

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

Derivatives Risk — The Portfolio’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 Portfolio. 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

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL TILT OVERLAY FUND

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

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 Portfolio 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 the Portfolio 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 Portfolio also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

Foreign Custody Risk — If the Portfolio invests in foreign securities may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Portfolio’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 Portfolio’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.

Investments in the Underlying Funds Risk — The investments of a Portfolio are concentrated in the Underlying Funds, and the Portfolio’s investment performance is directly related to the investment performance of the Underlying Funds it holds. A Portfolio is subject to the risk factors associated with the investments of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of assets allocated to each. A Portfolio that has a relative concentration of its portfolio in a single Underlying Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting that Underlying Fund, and may be more susceptible to losses because of these developments.

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include the Portfolio in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Portfolio. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Portfolio to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Portfolio’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 Portfolio’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Portfolio’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Portfolio share purchases may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance to the extent that the Portfolio is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Liquidity Risk — The Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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.

Sector Risk — To the extent the Portfolio focuses its investments in securities of issuers in one or more sectors (such as the financial services or telecommunications sectors), the Portfolio 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.

Tax Risk — The Portfolio will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Subsidiary and/or commodity index-linked structured notes, as applicable. Historically, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued private letter rulings (“PLRs”) in which the IRS specifically concluded that income and gains from investments in commodity index-linked structured notes or a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary that invests in commodity-linked instruments are “qualifying income” for purposes of compliance with Subchapter M of the Code. The Portfolio has not received a PLR, and is not able to rely on PLRs issued to other taxpayers. Additionally, the IRS has suspended the granting of such PLRs, pending review of its position on this matter. The IRS also recently issued proposed regulations that, if finalized, would generally treat the Portfolio’s income inclusion with respect to a subsidiary as qualifying income only if there is a distribution out of the earnings and profits of a subsidiary that are attributable to such income inclusion. The proposed regulations, if adopted, would apply to taxable years beginning on or after 90 days after the regulations are published as final.

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

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

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Portfolio’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.

Subsequent events after the Consolidated 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

Goldman Sachs Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Goldman Sachs Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund and its subsidiary (one of the portfolios constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Portfolio”) as of August 31, 2018, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2018, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for the year ended August 31, 2018, for the period November 1, 2016 through August 31, 2017, and for the year ended October 31, 2016 and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of August 31, 2018, the results of their operations for the year ended August 31, 2018, the changes in their net assets for the year ended August 31, 2018, for the period November 1, 2016 through August 31, 2017, and for the year ended October 31, 2016 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 consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s consolidated 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 Portfolio 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 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.

Portfolio Expenses — Six Month Period Ended August 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Institutional, Class P and Class R6 Shares of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Institutional, Class P and Class R6 Shares of the Portfolio 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 March 1, 2018 through August 31, 2018, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year. The Class P example is based on the period from April 17, 2018 through August 31, 2018, which represents a period of 136 out of 365 days. The Class P example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from March 1, 2018 through August 31, 2018 for purposes of comparability. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’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 Portfolio 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.


Share Class	Beginning Account Value 3/1/18		Ending Account Value 8/31/18			Expenses Paid for the 6 months ended 8/31/18*
Institutional
Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,011.30		$	3.55
Hypothetical 5% return		1,000.00		1,021.68	+		3.57
Class P^(a)
Actual		1,000.00		1,011.30			2.66
Hypothetical 5% return		1,000.00		1,022.56	+		2.68
Class R6^(b)
Actual		1,000.00		1,012.30			3.50
Hypothetical 5% return		1,000.00		1,021.73	+		3.52

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

Expenses are calculated using the Portfolio’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended August 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: 0.70% for Institutional Shares, 0.71% for Class P Shares and 0.69% for Class R6 Shares.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

Background

The Goldman Sachs Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund (the “Portfolio”) is an investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Portfolio at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Portfolio.

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

(ii)

(iii)

trends in employee headcount;

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

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

Investment Performance

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Portfolio and the Underlying Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Underlying Fund to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2017, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer groups identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2018. The information on each Underlying Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Underlying Fund had been in existence for those periods. The Trustees also reviewed the Portfolio’s and each Underlying Fund’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. They observed that the Portfolio had underperformed its LIBOR-based benchmark index by 2.62% and 1.10%, respectively, for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2018. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the investment performance trends of the Portfolio and the Underlying Funds over time, and reviewed the investment performance of the Portfolio and each Underlying Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. With respect to certain Underlying Funds, the Trustees also received information comparing the Funds’ performance to that of composites of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser.

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

Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information

In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations of the Portfolio and the Underlying Funds. The Trustees noted that the Investment Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in an amount equal to the entire management fee paid to the Investment Adviser as the investment adviser to the Portfolio’s wholly-owned subsidiary. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Portfolio, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Portfolio differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.

Profitability

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL TILT OVERLAY FUND

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

Economies of Scale


First $2 billion	0.75	%
Next $3 billion	0.68
Next $3 billion	0.64
Over $8 billion	0.62

The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Portfolio and its shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amount of assets in the Portfolio; the Portfolio’s recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer group; and the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Portfolio that exceed a specified level. They also considered the services provided to the Portfolio under the Management Agreement and the fees and expenses borne by the Underlying Funds, and determined that the management fees payable by the Portfolio were not duplicative of the management fees paid at the Underlying Fund level. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels. They also noted that the Investment Adviser had passed along savings to shareholders of the Portfolio, which had asset levels above at least the first breakpoint during the prior fiscal year.

Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates

The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Portfolio and/or the Underlying Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of the Portfolio and/or the Underlying Funds; (c) research received by the Investment Adviser from broker-dealers in exchange for executing certain transactions on behalf of the Portfolio and/or the Underlying Funds; (d) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Portfolio and/or the Underlying Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (e) fees earned by Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, as securities lending agent (and fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Portfolio’s and/or the Underlying Funds’ cash collateral is invested); (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Portfolio and the Underlying Funds on behalf of its other clients; (g) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Portfolio shareholders; (h) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Portfolio and Underlying Funds; and (i) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Portfolio’s and Underlying Funds’ third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.

Other Benefits to the Portfolio and Its Shareholders

The Trustees also noted that the Portfolio and/or the Underlying Funds receive certain potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Portfolio and/or the Underlying Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) enhanced servicing from broker-dealers because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties on behalf of the Portfolio and/or the Underlying Funds as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Portfolio and Underlying Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (g) the Portfolio’s and Underlying Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firmwide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; (h) certain Underlying Funds’ ability to participate in the securities lending program administered by GSAL, as measured by the revenue received by the Funds in connection with the

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL TILT OVERLAY FUND

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

program; and (i) the Portfolio’s and Underlying Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered that many of the Portfolio’s shareholders invested in the Portfolio in part because of the Portfolio’s relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.

Conclusion

In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by the Portfolio were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and the Portfolio’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit the Portfolio and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to the Portfolio until June 30, 2019.

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

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

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

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

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

Item 4(f) – Not applicable.

Item 4(g) Aggregate Non-Audit Fees Disclosure

The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST by PwC for the twelve months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were approximately $1,991,440 and $1,226,062 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 million 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.
