MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund

 

The following are highlights both of key factors affecting energy-related equity markets and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund (the “Fund”) during the six months ended May 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”). Attribution highlights are provided if the Fund materially outperformed or underperformed its benchmark during the Reporting Period. A fuller review of the markets and these changes will appear in the Fund’s annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended November 30, 2022.

Market and Economic Review

 

 

Energy-related equities posted strong gains during the Reporting Period overall, as crude oil and natural gas prices rose. The prices of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil and natural gas climbed 73.27% and 86.55%, respectively, during the Reporting Period.

 

   

Energy infrastructure master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), as measured by the Alerian MLP Index,1 produced a total return of 32.43%.

 

   

The broader midstream2 sector, as measured by the Alerian Midstream Energy Index3 (which includes both energy MLPs and “C” corporations), generated a total return of 28.79%.

 

 

In December 2021, as the Reporting Period began, commodities and energy-related equities broadly rebounded from a brief but sharp sell-off driven by worries that the spread of the COVID-19 Omicron variant might hurt near-term demand for commodities. Data suggesting the highly transmissible variant was “less severe” helped ease market fears.

 

 

During the first quarter of 2022, commodities and energy-related equities advanced as underlying fundamentals strengthened.

 

   

U.S. oil demand ticked higher, while supply struggled to keep pace due to years of upstream4 capital expenditure cuts, strong discipline from OPEC+5 and U.S. producers remaining focused on maximizing free cash flow. The result was undersupplied energy markets, which were further pressured by the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, given that Russia was a major global exporter of crude oil and natural gas.

 

   

After the invasion, crude oil prices rose, with WTI reaching $128 per barrel — its highest level since 2008 — in early March.

 

 

During April and May 2022, energy-related equities and the broader midstream energy sector, in particular, traded alongside volatility in crude oil prices, driven, in turn, by developments surrounding the Russia/Ukraine conflict, the possibility of a European Union ban on Russian oil and potential oil demand-side concerns stemming from rising COVID-19 cases and lockdown procedures in China.

 

 

At the end of the Reporting Period, midstream fundamentals remained the healthiest on record, in the view of the Goldman Sachs Energy and Infrastructure Team.

 

   

Midstream energy company management teams generally were no longer prioritizing growth and instead were focusing on capital discipline, balance sheet strength, and above all, generating free cash flow and returning it back to investors via dividends and buybacks.

 

1    Source: Alerian. The Alerian MLP Index is the leading gauge of energy infrastructure MLPs. The capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index, whose constituents earn the majority of their cash flow from midstream activities involving energy commodities, is disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (AMZ) and on a total-return basis (AMZX). It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.
2    The midstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those companies providing products or services that help link the supply side (i.e., energy producers) and the demand side (i.e., energy end-users for any type of energy commodity). Such midstream businesses can include, but are not limited to, those that process, store, market and transport various energy commodities.
3    Source: Alerian. The Alerian Midstream Energy Index is a broad-based composite of North American energy infrastructure companies. The capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index, whose constituents earn the majority of their cash flow from midstream activities involving energy commodities, is disseminated real-time on a price-return (AMNA), total-return (AMNAX), net total-return (AMNAN), and adjusted net total-return (AMNTR) basis.
4   The upstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those operations stages in the oil and gas industry that involve exploration and production. Upstream operations deal primarily with the exploration stages of the oil and gas industry, with upstream firms taking the first steps to first locate, test and drill for oil and gas. Later, once reserves are proven, upstream firms will extract any oil and gas from the reserve.
5    OPEC+ is comprised of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia.

MARKET REVIEW

 

   

The midstream energy sector continued to offer some of the highest yields in the equity asset class at the end of the Reporting Period, with the Alerian MLP Index yielding more than 6%, five times that of the S&P 500® Index and twice the yields of both utilities and real estate investment trusts.

 

   

Strong crude oil and natural gas prices continued to support earnings momentum across the sector, with the majority of the top U.S. midstream energy companies beating consensus expectations for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) in the fourth quarter of 2021.6

Fund Changes and Highlights

No material changes were made to the Fund during the Reporting Period.

 

 

The Fund generated strong positive absolute returns during the Reporting Period but underperformed its benchmark, the Alerian MLP Index.

 

 

The relative underperformance was largely driven by stock selection, specifically the Fund’s allocations to special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”), which came under significant pressure during the Reporting Period. SPACs are not represented in the Alerian MLP Index.

 

   

By the end of the Reporting Period, we had eliminated the Fund’s common stock exposure to SPACs.7

 

 

The Fund’s largest individual detractors were Fast Radius Inc., a SPAC that significantly reduced its 2022 revenue expectations, as well as underweight positions relative to the custom renewables benchmark in Brazilian state-run hydroelectric generation company Centrais Eletricas Brasilier and Brazil’s largest energy supplier ENGIE Brasil Energia.

 

   

Its shares fell after FSRD significantly reduced its 2022 revenue expectations, as the economic slowdown and supply chain disruptions impaired customer demand for its cloud-based manufacturing process. The decline jeopardized the company’s ability to raise the capital it needed to build out its operations.

 

 

In terms of exposures, the Fund was hurt most by stock selection in the gathering and processing subsector.8 An underweight relative to the Alerian MLP Index in the pipeline transportation/natural gas subsector also detracted from relative performance, as this subsector benefited from a significant rally in natural gas prices and natural gas-related equities amid a growing global natural gas crisis.

 

2

 

6    Ten of the top 15 U.S. midstream energy companies in the Alerian US Midstream Energy Index beat consensus EBITDA expectations for the fourth quarter of 2021.
7    The Fund still held a very small, but illiquid, position in SPAC warrants and founder shares at the end of the Reporting Period.
8    Sector and subsector allocations are defined by GSAM and may differ from sector allocations used by the Alerian MLP Index.

Notes to Financial Statements

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 Trust includes the Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a non-diversified portfolio under the Act offering seven classes of shares — Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P Shares.

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, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P 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 Fund pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. The Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

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, net of any foreign withholding taxes, and less any amounts reclaimable. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. 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 Fund’s schedule K-1 received from the MLPs. The 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.

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

D.  Distributions to Shareholders — Over the long term, the Fund makes distributions to its shareholders each fiscal quarter at a rate that is approximately equal to the distributions the Fund receives from the MLPs and other securities in which it invests. To permit the Fund to maintain more stable quarterly distributions, the distribution for any particular quarterly period may be more or less than the amount of total distributable earnings actually earned by the Fund. The Fund estimates that only a portion of the distributions paid to shareholders will be treated as income. The remaining portion of the Fund’s distribution, which may be significant, is expected to be a return of capital. These estimates are based on the Fund’s operating results during the period, and their final federal income tax characterization may differ.

The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. 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.  Income Taxes — The Fund does not intend to qualify as a regulated investment company pursuant to Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, but will rather be taxed as a corporation. As a result, the Fund is obligated to pay

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

federal, state and local income tax on its taxable income. The Fund invests primarily in MLPs, which generally are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLPs, the Fund must report its allocable share of the MLPs’ taxable income or loss in computing its own taxable income or loss. The Fund’s tax expense or benefit is included in the Statement of Operations based on the component of income or gains/losses to which such expense or benefit relates. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Such temporary differences are principally: (i) taxes on unrealized gains/losses, which are attributable to the temporary difference between fair market value and tax basis, (ii) the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes, and (iii) the net tax benefit of accumulated net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. The Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the currently effective statutory United States (“U.S.”) federal income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate, for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments and the distributions received by the Fund on interests of MLPs considered to be return of capital and for any net operating gains. The Fund may also record a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards, and/or unrealized losses.

To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset, consideration is given to whether or not a valuation allowance, which would offset the value of some or all of the deferred tax asset balance, is required. A valuation allowance is required if based on the evaluation criterion provided by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740) it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The factors considered in assessing the Fund’s valuation allowance include: the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of the statutory carryforward periods and the associated risks that operating and capital loss carryforwards may expire unutilized. From time to time, as new information becomes available, the Fund will modify its estimates or assumptions regarding the deferred tax liability or asset. Unexpected significant decreases in cash distributions from the Fund’s MLP investments or significant declines in the fair value of its investments may change the Fund’s assessment regarding the recoverability of their deferred tax assets and may result in a valuation allowance. If a valuation allowance is required to reduce any deferred tax asset in the future, it could have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV and results of operations in the period it is recorded. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate operating income/loss and gains/losses and current taxes and deferred tax liabilities and/or asset balances for purposes of daily reporting of NAVs and financial statement reporting. In addition, sales of MLP investments will result in allocations to the Fund of taxable ordinary income or loss and capital gain or loss, each in amounts that will not be reported to the Fund until the following year, in magnitudes often not readily estimable before such reporting is made.

It is the Fund’s policy to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on its Statement of Operations. The Fund anticipates filing income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states, and such returns are subject to examination by the tax jurisdictions. The Fund has reviewed all major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no significant impact on its net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits or expenses relating to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken on its tax returns.

Return of Capital Estimates — Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.

F.  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 translations. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

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 level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 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 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 portfolio investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

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

Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities will be valued at the valid closing bid price for long positions and at the valid closing ask price for short positions (i.e. where there is sufficient volume, during normal exchange trading hours). If no valid bid/ask price is available, the equity security will be valued pursuant to the Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. 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. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be classified as Level 2.

Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Private Investments in Public Equities — The Fund may invest in equity securities of an issuer that are issued through a private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) transaction. PIPE transactions typically involve the purchase of securities directly from a publicly traded company or its affiliates in a private placement transaction, typically at a discount to the market price of the issuer’s common stock. Securities purchased through PIPE transactions will be restricted from trading and generally considered illiquid until a registration statement for the shares is filed and declared effective. These securities are valued the same as other equity securities as noted above and generally include a Liquidity Valuation Adjustment (LVA), which is a discount to the market

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

price of an issuer’s common stock, to reflect trading restrictions. The LVA is based on the length of the lock-up time period and volatility of the underlying security. Securities purchased through PIPE transactions are classified as Level 2 until such time as the trading restriction is removed.

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. 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 derivatives contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments.

Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence of two-way trading, at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions). Exchange-traded derivatives 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.  Options Contracts — When the Fund writes call or put options contracts, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on 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.

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. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments.

Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Money Market Fund”) are valued at the NAV per share 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 Money Market Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Money Market Fund’s shareholder report.

Special Purpose Acquisition Companies — The Fund may invest in stock of, warrants to purchase stock of, and other interests in, special purpose acquisition companies or similar special purpose entities that pool funds to seek potential merger and acquisition opportunities (collectively, “SPACs”). SPACs are companies that have no operations but go public with the intention of merging with or acquiring a company using the proceeds of the SPAC’s initial public offering. Stock purchased in a SPAC’s initial public offering are valued the same as other equity securities as noted above. Certain private SPAC investments (e.g. “founder shares” and private warrants), however, may be subject to forfeiture or expire worthless if certain events do not take place. A

Probability Value Adjustment (PVA) is applied to such securities until such contingencies have been satisfied. An LVA may also be applied to securities which are subject to externally imposed and legally enforceable trading restrictions. Such positions are generally classified as Level 3. The Fund may also enter into an unfunded commitment to purchase securities in a PIPE transaction and will satisfy the commitment if and when the SPAC completes its merger or acquisition. The Fund may purchase securities in a SPAC PIPE transaction only upon such contingencies being satisfied. Such investments are valued similar to founder shares mentioned above and are generally classified as Level 3.

C.  Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Fund’s investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of May 31, 2022:

The following table sets forth, by certain risk types, the Fund’s gains (losses) related to these derivatives and their indicative volumes for the six months ended May 31, 2022. 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    Realized

Equity    Net realized gain (loss) on purchased options and written options/Net unrealized gain (loss) on purchased options and written options    $ 1,019,681      $ (21,417

For the six months ended May 31, 2022, the relevant values for each derivative types was as follows:

 

Average Number of Shares/Units(a)
Purchased Options        Written Options        Forwards
$ 1,102,100        $ 573,340        $12,680

 

(a)   Amounts disclosed represent average number of shares/units outstanding for purchased options, written options and notional amounts for forward contracts, based on absolute value, which is indicative of volume for this derivative type, for the months that the Fund held such derivatives during the six months ended May 31, 2022.

 

5. TAXATION

Total income taxes are computed by applying the federal statutory rate plus a blended state income tax rate. During the six months ended May 31, 2022, the Fund reevaluated its blended state income tax rate, increasing the rate from 1.14% to 1.39% due to

   $ 558,591,824        November 30, 2025  

The Fund reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets based upon the weight of the available evidence. When assessing, the Fund’s management considers available carrybacks, reversing temporary taxable differences, and tax planning, if any. As a result of its analysis of the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, the Fund recorded $94,361,326 of valuation allowances as of May 31, 2022.

For the six months ended May 31, 2022, the Fund does not have any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes. At May 31, 2022, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments, based on cost, for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Tax Cost

   $ 1,068,771,906  

Gross unrealized gain

     436,522,129  

Gross unrealized loss

     (35,070,124

Net unrealized security gain (loss)

   $ 401,452,005  

Any difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to wash sales and differences related to the tax treatment of partnership investments.

For the six months ended May 31, 2022, the Fund distributions are estimated to be comprised of 100% from taxable income and 0% return of capital. Shareholders will be informed of the final tax characterization of the distributions in February 2023. The Fund’s tax years ended November 30, 2018 through November 30, 2021 remain open for examination by U.S. and state tax authorities. Management of the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or expenses will significantly change in the next 12 months.

 

6. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS   

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

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

For the six months ended May 31, 2022, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:

 

Contractual Management Rate

^   Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated Underlying Funds, if any. The Effective Net Management Rate may not correlate to the Contractual Management Rate as a result of management fee waivers that may be in effect from time to time.

The Fund invests in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Fund invests. For the six months ended May 31, 2022, GSAM waived $1,402 of the Fund’s management fee.

B.  Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A and Class R Shares of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plans, Goldman Sachs,

which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A or Class R Shares of the Fund, as applicable, as set forth below.

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

      Class A*      Class C      Class R*  

Distribution and/or Service Plan

     0.25      0.75      0.50

 

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

C.  Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended May 31, 2022, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained $2,026 and $0 of the sales charges applicable to Class A and Class C Shares, respectively.

D.  Service Plan — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan to allow Class C Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance services to its 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 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares of the Fund.

E.  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: 0.16% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 and Class P Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares.

F.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder meeting, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitation as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Fund is 0.064%. The Other Expense limitation will remain in place through at least March 30, 2023, 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 six months ended May 31, 2022, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

H.  Line of Credit Facility — As of May 31, 2022, the Fund participated in a $1,250,000,000 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 six months ended May 31, 2022, the Fund did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 22, 2022, the facility was $1,000,000,000.

 

7. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the six months ended May 31, 2022, were $437,282,113 and $447,878,568, respectively.

 

8. OTHER RISKS

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

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.

Dividend-Paying Investments Risk — The Fund’s investments in dividend-paying securities could cause the Fund to underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes but employ a different investment style. Securities that pay dividends, as a group, can fall out of favor with the market, causing such securities to underperform securities that do not pay dividends. Depending upon market conditions and political and legislative responses to such conditions, dividend-paying securities that meet the Fund’s investment criteria may not be widely available and/or may be highly concentrated in only a few market sectors. For example, in response to the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (known as COVID-19), the U.S. Government passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act in March 2020, which established loan programs for certain issuers impacted by COVID-19. Among other conditions, borrowers under these loan programs are generally restricted from paying dividends. The adoption of new legislation could further limit or restrict the ability of issuers to pay dividends. To the extent that dividend-paying securities are concentrated in only a few market sectors, the Fund may be subject to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions or developments that may be particular to a sector to a greater extent than if its investments were diversified across different sectors. In addition, issuers that have paid regular dividends or distributions to shareholders may not continue to do so at the same level or at all in the future. A sharp rise in interest rates or an economic downturn could cause an issuer to abruptly reduce or eliminate its dividend. This may limit the ability of the Fund to produce current income.

GOLDMAN SACHS MLP ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

May 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

Geographic and Sector Risk — The Fund focuses 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.

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

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, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, 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 or otherwise maintains a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Liquidity Risk — The Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If the Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. 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 funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on the Fund’s liquidity.

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). The value of the securities in which the Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact the Fund and its investments.

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.

Master Limited Partnership Risk — Investments in securities of MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in common stocks, including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks, limited liquidity and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unit-holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price.

 

26


GOLDMAN SACHS MLP ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND

 

 

 

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

MLP Tax Risk. MLPs are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Partnerships do not pay U.S. federal income tax at the partnership level. Rather, each partner is allocated a share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses. A change in current tax law or a change in the underlying business mix of a given MLP could result in an MLP being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which would result in the MLP being required to pay U.S. federal income tax (as well as state and local income taxes) on its taxable income. This would have the effect of reducing the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP and could result in a reduction in the value of the Fund’s investment in the MLP and lower income to the Fund.

To the extent a distribution received by the Fund from an MLP is treated as a return of capital, the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in the interests of the MLP will be reduced, which may increase the Fund’s tax liability upon the sale of the interests in the MLP or upon subsequent distributions in respect of such interests.

Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it is permitted to invest a larger percentage of its assets in one or more issuers or 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.

Private Investment Risk — The Fund may invest in PIPE securities. PIPE transactions typically involve the purchase of securities directly from a publicly traded company or its affiliates in a private placement transaction, typically at a discount to the market price of the company’s common stock. In a PIPE transaction, the Fund may bear the price risk from the time of pricing until the time of closing. Equity issued in this manner is often subject to transfer restrictions and is therefore less liquid than equity issued through a registered public offering. The Fund may be subject to lock-up agreements that prohibit transfers for a fixed period of time. In addition, because the sale of the securities in a PIPE transaction is not registered under the Securities Act, the securities are “restricted” and cannot be immediately resold into the public markets. The ability of the Fund to freely transfer restricted shares is conditioned upon, among other things, the SEC’s preparedness to declare the resale registration statement effective and the issuer’s right to suspend the Fund’s use of the resale registration statement if the issuer is pursuing a transaction or some other material non-public event is occurring. Accordingly, PIPE securities may be subject to risks associated with illiquid securities.

Special Purpose Acquisition Companies Risk — The Fund may invest in stock, warrants, and other securities of special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) or similar special purpose entities that pool funds to seek potential acquisition opportunities. Because SPACs and similar entities are in essence blank check companies without operating history or ongoing business other than seeking acquisitions, the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. An investment in a SPAC is subject a variety of risks, including that (i) a portion of the monies raised by the SPAC for the purpose of effecting an acquisition or merger may be expended prior to the transaction for payment of taxes and other purposes; (ii) prior to any acquisition or merger, a SPAC’s assets are typically invested in government securities, money market funds and similar investments whose returns or yields may be significantly lower than those of the Fund’s other investments; (iii) the Fund generally will not receive significant income from its investments in SPACs (both prior to and after any acquisition or merger) and, therefore, the Fund’s investments in SPACs will not significantly contribute to the Fund’s distributions to shareholders; (iv) an attractive acquisition or merger target may not be identified at all, in which case the SPAC will be required to return any remaining monies to shareholders; (v) if an acquisition or merger target is identified, the Fund may elect not to participate in the proposed transaction or the Fund may be required to divest its interests in the SPAC due to regulatory or other considerations, in which case the warrants or other rights with respect to the SPAC held by the Fund may expire worthless or may be repurchased or retired by the SPAC at an unfavorable price; (vi) any proposed merger or acquisition may be unable to obtain the requisite approval, if any, of SPAC shareholders; (vii) under any circumstances in which the Fund receives a refund of all or a portion of its original investment (which typically represents a pro rata share of the proceeds of the SPAC’s assets, less any applicable taxes), the returns on that investment may be negligible, and the Fund may be subject to opportunity costs to the extent that alternative investments would have produced higher returns; (viii) to the extent an acquisition or merger is announced or completed, shareholders who redeem their shares prior to that time may not reap any resulting benefits; (ix) the Fund may be delayed in receiving any redemption or liquidation proceeds from a SPAC to which it is entitled; (x) an acquisition or merger once effected may prove unsuccessful and an investment in the SPAC may lose value; (xi) an investment in a SPAC may be diluted by additional later offerings of interests in the SPAC or by other investors exercising existing rights to purchase shares

of the SPAC; (xii) only a thinly traded market for shares of or interests in a SPAC may develop, or there may be no market at all, leaving the Fund unable to sell its interest in a SPAC or to sell its interest only at a price below what the Fund believes is the SPAC interest’s intrinsic value; and (xiii) the values of investments in SPACs may be highly volatile and may depreciate significantly over time.

Strategy Risk — The Fund’s strategy of investing primarily in MLPs, resulting in its being taxed as a corporation, or a “C” corporation, rather than as a regulated investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is a relatively new investment strategy for funds. This strategy involves complicated accounting, tax and valuation issues. Volatility in the NAV may be experienced because of the use of estimates at various times during a given year that may result in unexpected and potentially significant consequences for the Fund and its shareholders.

Tax Risks — Tax risks associated with investments in the Fund include but are not limited to the following:

Fund Structure Risk. Unlike traditional mutual funds that are structured as regulated investment companies for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Fund will be taxable as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This means the Fund generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the rates applicable to corporations, and will also be subject to state and local income taxes.

Tax Estimation/NAV Risk. In calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, include its current taxes and deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and related valuation balances, if any. The Fund may accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the currently effective statutory U.S. federal income tax rate (currently 21%) plus an estimated state and local income tax rate, for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments and the distributions received by the Fund on interests of MLPs considered to be return of capital and for any net operating gains. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s NAV which could have an effect on the market price of the shares. The Fund may also record a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards, and/or unrealized losses.

Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV to the extent it exceeds any valuation allowance which could have an effect on the market price of the shares. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate current taxes and deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. The daily estimate of the Fund’s current taxes and deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary significantly from the Fund’s actual tax liability or benefit, and, as a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability or benefit may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its current taxes and deferred tax liability and/or asset balances as new information becomes available, which modifications in estimates or assumptions may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV.

 

9. INDEMNIFICATIONS

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

 

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended May  31, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P Shares of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P 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 December 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022, which represents a period of 182 days in a 365 day year.

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

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

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

  *   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 May 31, 2022. Deferred tax benefit (expense) is not included in the ratio calculation. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows:  

 

Fund    Class A     Class C     Institutional     Investor     Class R6     Class R     Class P

     1.45     2.20     1.08     1.20     1.07     1.70     1.07

Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)

 

Each Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act. The Program seeks to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, i.e., the risk that a Fund is unable to satisfy redemption requests without significantly diluting remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has designated GSAM, each Fund’s investment adviser, to administer the Program. Certain aspects of the Program rely on third parties to perform certain functions, including the provision of market data and application of models.

The Program is comprised of various components designed to support the assessment and/or management of liquidity risk, including: (1) the periodic assessment (no less frequently than annually) of certain factors that influence a Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) the periodic classification (no less frequently than monthly) of a Fund’s investments into one of four liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of their liquidity under current market conditions; (3) a 15% limit on the acquisition of “illiquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4); (4) for a Fund that does not invest primarily in “highly liquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4), the determination of a minimum percentage of the Fund’s assets that will generally be invested in highly liquid investments (a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum”); and (5) periodic reporting to the Board of Trustees.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees on February 8-9, 2022, GSAM provided a written report to the Board addressing the operation, and the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation, of the Program, including, as applicable, the operation of any Highly Liquid Investment Minimum and any material changes to the Program, for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”). Among other things, the annual report discussed: (1) the results of stress tests designed to assess liquidity under a hypothetical stressed scenario involving elevated redemptions; (2) an assessment of the methodologies used to classify investments into one of four liquidity categories; and (3) the impact of local holidays in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The report concluded that the Program continues to be reasonably designed to assess and manage liquidity risk and was adequately and effectively implemented during the Reporting Period.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks to which it may be subject.

Impact of Russian Invasion of Ukraine (Unaudited)

 

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has negatively affected the global economy and has resulted in significant disruptions in financial markets and increased macroeconomic uncertainty. In addition, governments around the world have responded to Russia’s invasion by imposing economic sanctions and export controls on certain industry sectors, companies and individuals in or associated with Russia. Russia has imposed its own restrictions against investors and countries outside Russia and has proposed additional measures aimed at non-Russian-owned businesses. Businesses in the U.S. and globally have experienced shortages in materials and increased costs for transportation, energy and raw materials due, in part, to the negative effects of the war on the global economy. The escalation or continuation of the war between Russia and Ukraine or other hostilities presents heightened risks relating to cyber-attacks, the frequency and volume of failures to settle securities transactions, supply chain disruptions, inflation, as well as the potential for increased volatility in commodity, currency and other financial markets. The extent and duration of the war, sanctions and resulting market disruptions, as well as the potential adverse consequences for the Fund’s operations are difficult to predict.

MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs Energy Funds

 

The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the energy-related equity markets and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs Energy Funds (the “Funds”) during the six months ended May 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”). Attribution highlights are provided for those Funds that materially outperformed or underperformed their respective benchmark during the Reporting Period. A fuller review of the markets and these changes will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended November 30, 2022.

Market and Economic Review

 

 

Energy-related equities posted strong gains during the Reporting Period overall, as crude oil and natural gas prices rose. The prices of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil and natural gas climbed 73.27% and 86.55%, respectively, during the Reporting Period.

 

   

Energy infrastructure master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), as measured by the Alerian MLP Index,1 produced a total return of 32.43%.

 

   

The broader midstream2 sector, as measured by the Alerian Midstream Energy Index3 (which includes both energy MLPs and “C” corporations), generated a total return of 28.79%.

 

 

In December 2021, as the Reporting Period began, commodities and energy-related equities broadly rebounded from a brief but sharp sell-off driven by worries that the spread of the COVID-19 Omicron variant might hurt near-term demand for commodities. Data suggesting the highly transmissible variant was “less severe” helped ease market fears.

 

 

During the first quarter of 2022, commodities and energy-related equities advanced, as underlying fundamentals strengthened.

 

   

U.S. oil demand ticked higher, while supply struggled to keep pace due to years of upstream4 capital expenditure cuts, strong discipline from OPEC+5 and U.S. producers remaining focused on maximizing free cash flow. The result was undersupplied energy markets, which were further pressured by the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, given that Russia was a major global exporter of crude oil and natural gas.

 

   

After the invasion of Ukraine, crude oil prices rose, with WTI reaching $128 per barrel — its highest level since 2008 — in early March.

 

 

During April and May 2022, energy-related equities and the broader midstream energy sector, in particular, traded alongside volatility in crude oil prices, driven, in turn, by developments surrounding the Russia/Ukraine conflict, the possibility of a European Union ban on Russian oil and potential oil demand-side concerns stemming from rising COVID-19 cases and lockdown procedures in China.

 

 

At the end of the Reporting Period, midstream fundamentals remained the healthiest on record, in the view of the Goldman Sachs Energy and Infrastructure Team (the “Team”).

 

   

Midstream energy company management teams generally were no longer prioritizing growth and instead were focusing on capital discipline, balance sheet strength, and above all, generating free cash flow and returning it back to investors via dividends and buybacks.

The capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index, whose constituents earn the majority of their cash flow from midstream activities involving energy commodities, is disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (AMZ) and on a total-return basis (AMZX). It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.
2    The midstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those companies providing products or services that help link the supply side (i.e., energy producers) and the demand side (i.e., energy end-users for any type of energy commodity). Such midstream businesses can include, but are not limited to, those that process, store, market and transport various energy commodities.

The capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index, whose constituents earn the majority of their cash flow from midstream activities involving energy commodities, is disseminated real-time on a price-return (AMNA), total-return (AMNAX), net total-return (AMNAN), and adjusted net total-return (AMNTR) basis.
4    The upstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those operations stages in the oil and gas industry that involve exploration and production. Upstream operations deal primarily with the exploration stages of the oil and gas industry, with upstream firms taking the first steps to first locate, test and drill for oil and gas. Later, once reserves are proven, upstream firms will extract any oil and gas from the reserve.

MARKET REVIEW

 

 

 

   

The midstream energy sector continued to offer some of the highest yields in the equity asset class at the end of the Reporting Period, with the Alerian MLP Index yielding more than 6%, five times that of the S&P 500® Index and twice the yields of both utilities and real estate investment trusts.

 

   

Strong crude oil and natural gas prices continued to support earnings momentum across the sector, with the majority of the top U.S. midstream energy companies beating consensus expectations for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) in the fourth quarter of 2021.6

Clean Energy Infrastructure

 

 

Clean energy infrastructure securities, as measured by a custom renewables benchmark, returned -1.78% during the Reporting Period. (The custom renewables benchmark is comprised 50% of the Eagle North American Renewables Infrastructure Index,7 35% of the Indxx YieldCo8 and Renewable Energy Income Index and 15% of the Eagle Global Renewables Infrastructure Index.9)

 

 

During the first half of the Reporting Period, broad-based risk-off sentiment, or decreased risk appetite, drove the performance of clean energy infrastructure securities, as investors focused on inflationary pressures, global economic growth forecasts and fears of recession.

 

 

In late February 2022, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, clean energy infrastructure securities moved sharply higher. The Russia/Ukraine war highlighted the importance of energy security, which may have boosted the outlook for clean energy as well as investor sentiment about clean energy infrastructure securities.

 

 

At the end of the Reporting Period, the fundamental backdrop for clean energy and clean energy infrastructure equities remained compelling in the Team’s view.

 

   

The Team believed the attributions of clean energy businesses — contracted/regulated cash flows, potential hedges to inflation and interest rate movements, and sustained “green” capital expenditures by governments and corporations — could serve as tailwinds for the clean energy infrastructure sector going forward.

Fund Changes and Highlights

No material changes were made to the Funds during the Reporting Period.

Goldman Sachs Clean Energy Income Fund

 

 

The Goldman Sachs Clean Energy Income Fund (the “Fund”) generated negative absolute returns and underperformed its blended benchmark, which is the custom renewables benchmark referenced above.

 

 

The Fund’s relative performance was hurt most by stock selection, most notably its investments in special purpose acquisition companies ( “SPACs”), which are not held by the custom renewables benchmark. The Fund’s lack of exposure to Brazilian energy suppliers also detracted.

 

 

The Fund’s largest individual detractors were Fast Radius Inc., a SPAC that significantly reduced its 2022 revenue expectations, as well as underweight positions relative to the custom renewables benchmark in Brazilian state-run hydroelectric generation company Centrais Eletricas Brasilier and Brazil’s largest energy supplier ENGIE Brasil Energia.

 

 

The Fund eliminated its common share exposure to special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) after SPACs came under significant pressure during the Reporting Period. SPACs are not represented in the Fund’s benchmark, the Alerian MLP Index.10

 

6    Ten of the top 15 U.S. midstream energy companies in the Alerian US Midstream Energy Index beat consensus EBITDA expectations for the fourth quarter of 2021.
7    The Eagle North American Renewables Infrastructure Index is designed to track the performance of renewables infrastructure or renewables-related infrastructure assets, primarily wind, solar, hydro, biomass and electric transmission lines. Constituents are companies whose stocks trade in either the U.S. or Canada, though assets owned by these companies can have a global reach. The index is a capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index developed by Eagle Global Advisors and disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (RENEWNA) and on a total-return basis (RENEWNAT).
8    The Indxx YieldCo & Renewable Energy Income Index is designed to track the performance of income-paying renewable energy companies and companies categorized as YieldCos (i.e., producers of biofuels) listed in developed and emerging markets.
9    The Eagle Global Renewables Infrastructure Index is designed to track the performance of renewables infrastructure or renewables-related infrastructure assets, primarily wind, solar, hydro, biomass and electric transmission lines. Constituents are companies whose stocks trade globally in OECD countries. (The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development is an intergovernmental economic organization with 37 member countries, founded in 1961 to stimulate economic progress and world trade.) The index is a capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index developed by Eagle Global Advisors and disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (RENEW) and on a total-return basis (RENEWTR).
10    The Fund still held a very small, but illiquid, position in SPAC warrants and founder shares at the end of the Reporting Period.

FUND BASICS

 

Goldman Sachs Clean Energy Income Fund

as of May 31, 2022

 

Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategy (condensed)

The Goldman Sachs Clean Energy Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return through current income and capital appreciation.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) (“Net Assets”) in U.S. and non-U.S. equity securities issued by clean energy companies. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets (measured at the time of purchase) in master limited partnerships that are taxed as partnerships and may invest up to 20% of its Net Assets in securities of companies that are not clean energy companies. Goldman Sachs Asset Management expects the Fund’s investments to be weighted in favor of companies that pay dividends or other current distributions.

Notes to Financial Statements

May 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

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

 

Fund      Share Classes Offered    Diversified/
Non-diversified

Clean Energy Income Fund

    

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

   Non-diversified

Energy Infrastructure Fund

    

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

   Non-diversified

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, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P 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 Fund pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Each Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

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. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. 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. A 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.

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 the Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service 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. Net investment income distributions, if any, are declared and paid at least semi-annually. Capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.

 

28


GOLDMAN SACHS ENERGY FUNDS

 

 

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.

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

E.  Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of a 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 Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.    

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS   

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 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 Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

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

Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities will be valued at the valid closing bid price for long positions and at the valid closing ask price for short positions (i.e. where there is sufficient volume, during normal exchange trading hours). If no valid bid/ask price is available, the equity security will be valued pursuant to the Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. 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. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be 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 for long positions or the last ask price for short positions, 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 Fair Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Private Investments in Public Equities — The Funds invest in equity securities of an issuer that are issued through a private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) transaction. PIPE transactions typically involve the purchase of securities directly from a publicly traded company or its affiliates in a private placement transaction, typically at a discount to the market price of the issuer’s common stock. Securities purchased through PIPE transactions will be restricted from trading and generally considered illiquid until a registration statement for the shares is filed and declared effective. These securities are valued the same as other equity securities as noted above and generally include a Liquidity Valuation Adjustment (LVA), which is a discount to the market price of an issuer’s common stock, to reflect trading restrictions. The LVA is based on the length of the lock-up time period and volatility of the underlying security. Securities purchased through PIPE transactions are classified as Level 2 until such time as the trading restriction is removed.

Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Fund”) are valued at the NAV per share 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 InvestmentsTo 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. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments.

Special Purpose Acquisition Companies — The Funds invest in stock of, warrants to purchase stock of, and other interests in, special purpose acquisition companies or similar special purpose entities that pool funds to seek potential merger and acquisition opportunities (collectively, “SPACs”). SPACs are companies that have no operations but go public with the intention of merging with or acquiring a company using the proceeds of the SPAC’s initial public offering. Stock purchased in a SPAC’s initial public offering are valued the same as other equity securities as noted above. Certain private SPAC investments (e.g. “founder shares” and private warrants), however, may be subject to forfeiture or expire worthless if certain events do not take place. A Probability Value Adjustment (PVA) is applied to such securities until such contingencies have been satisfied. An LVA may also be applied to securities which are subject to externally imposed and legally enforceable trading restrictions. Such positions are generally classified as Level 3. The Funds entered into an unfunded commitment to purchase securities in a PIPE transaction and will satisfy the commitment if and when the SPAC completes its merger or acquisition. The Fund may purchase securities in a SPAC PIPE

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

The Funds invest in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Funds in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Funds invest. For the six months ended May 31, 2022, GSAM waived $607 and $1,144 of the Funds’ management fees for the Clean Energy Income and Energy Infrastructure Funds, respectively.

B.  Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A and Class R Shares of the Funds, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plans, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A or Class R Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.

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

      Class A*      Class C      Class R*  

Distribution Plan and/or Service Plan

     0.25      0.75      0.50

 

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

C.  Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended May 31, 2022, Goldman Sachs did not retain any portion of the sales charges or CDSC for the Funds.

D.  Service Plan — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted a Service Plan to allow Class C Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of 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 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares of the Funds.

E.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.16% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 and Class P Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares.

F.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Clean Energy Income Fund and Energy Infrastructure Fund are 0.054% and 0.064%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least March 30, 2023, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above. Such Other Expense reimbursements,

G.  Line of Credit Facility — As of May 31, 2022, the Funds participated in a $1,250,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended May 31, 2022, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 22, 2022, the facility was $1,000,000,000.

H.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended May 31, 2022, Goldman Sachs did not earn brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions on behalf of the Clean Energy Income and Energy Infrastructure Funds, respectively.

As of May 31, 2022, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of 5% or more of total outstanding shares of the following Funds:

6. SECURITIES LENDING

 

The Clean Energy Income 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 its 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 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% 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 the Fund 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 master netting agreements with certain borrowers provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of set-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. 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, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of May 31, 2022, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

Both the Fund and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Fund for the six months ended May 31, 2022, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations. The following table provides information about the Fund’s investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended May 31, 2022.

Energy

Infrastructure

 

Timing differences (Late Year Ordinary Loss Deferrall)

     $ (3,705      $ (3,412,657

As of May 31, 2022, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

       

Clean Energy

Income

      

Energy

Infrastructure

 

Tax Cost

     $ 365,771,769        $ 286,955,995

Gross unrealized loss

       (34,948,677        (29,590,766

Net unrealized security gain (loss)

     $ (14,801,881      $ 174,190,078  

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences in the tax treatment of 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 Fund’s financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

 

8. OTHER RISKS

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

Clean Energy Sector Risk — The Clean Energy Income Fund concentrates its investments in the clean energy group of industries, and will therefore be susceptible to adverse economic, business, social, political, environmental, regulatory or other developments affecting that group of industries. Clean energy companies may be more volatile than companies operating in more established industries. Certain valuation methods used to value clean energy companies have not been in widespread use for a significant period of time and may further increase the volatility of certain clean energy company share prices. Clean energy companies and other companies operating in the clean energy group of industries are subject to specific risks, including, among others: fluctuations in commodity prices and/or interest rates; changes in governmental or environmental regulation; reduced availability of clean energy sources or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering; slowdowns in new construction; seasonal weather conditions, extreme weather or other natural disasters; and threats of attack by terrorists on certain clean energy assets. Clean energy companies can be significantly affected by the supply of, and demand for, particular energy products, which may result in overproduction or underproduction. Additionally, changes in the regulatory environment for clean energy companies may adversely impact their profitability. Obsolescence of existing technology, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, competition from new market entrants and general economic conditions can significantly affect companies in the clean energy group of industries. Certain investments may be dependent on U.S. and foreign government policies, including tax incentives and subsidies. Adhering to the clean energy company criteria and applying the Investment Adviser’s supplemental clean energy analysis may also affect the Fund’s performance relative to other energy sector-focused funds that do not adhere to such criteria or apply such analysis.

Dividend-Paying Investments Risk — The Fund’s investments in dividend-paying securities could cause the Fund to underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes but employ a different investment style. Securities that pay dividends, as a group, can fall out of favor with the market, causing such securities to underperform securities that do not pay dividends. Depending upon market

 

35


GOLDMAN SACHS ENERGY FUNDS

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

May 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

conditions and political and legislative responses to such conditions, dividend-paying securities that meet the Fund’s investment criteria may not be widely available and/or may be highly concentrated in only a few market sectors. For example, in response to the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (known as COVID-19), the U.S. Government passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act in March 2020, which established loan programs for certain issuers impacted by COVID-19. Among other conditions, borrowers under these loan programs are generally restricted from paying dividends. The adoption of new legislation could further limit or restrict the ability of issuers to pay dividends. To the extent that dividend-paying securities are concentrated in only a few market sectors, the Fund may be subject to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions or developments that may be particular to a sector to a greater extent than if its investment. In addition, issuers that have paid regular dividends or distributions to shareholders may not continue to do so at the same level or at all in the future. A sharp rise in interest rates or an economic downturn could cause an issuer to abruptly reduce or eliminate its dividend. This may limit the ability of the Fund to produce current income.

Energy Sector Risk — The Energy Infrastructure 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 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; less stringent investor protections; less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards; and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is impossible to predict. For example, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent a Fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions, and significantly impact a Fund’s liquidity and performance. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency exchange 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.

Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund invests in foreign securities, and as such the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy.

Geographic and Sector Risk — The Funds focus their 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS ENERGY FUNDS

 

 

 

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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.

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

Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, 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 or otherwise maintains 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 or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests 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. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.

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). The value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments. 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.

Master Limited Partnership Risk — Investments in securities of MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in common stock, including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks, limited liquidity and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unit-holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price.

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

Private Investment Risk — The Funds may invest in PIPE securities. PIPE transactions typically involve the purchase of securities directly from a publicly traded company or its affiliates in a private placement transaction, typically at a discount to the market price of the company’s common stock. In a PIPE transaction, the Fund may bear the price risk from the time of pricing until the time of closing. Equity issued in this manner is often subject to transfer restrictions and is therefore less liquid than equity issued through a registered public offering. The Funds may be subject to lock-up agreements that prohibit transfers for a fixed period of time. In addition, because the sale of the securities in a PIPE transaction is not registered under the Securities Act of

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

1933, as amended, the securities are “restricted” and cannot be immediately resold into the public markets. The ability of the Funds to freely transfer restricted shares is conditioned upon, among other things, the SEC’s preparedness to declare the resale registration statement effective and the issuer’s right to suspend the Funds’ use of the resale registration statement if the issuer is pursuing a transaction or some other material non-public event is occurring. Accordingly, PIPE securities may be subject to risks associated with illiquid securities.

Special Purpose Acquisition Companies Risk — A Fund may invest in stock, warrants, and other securities of special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) or similar special purpose entities that pool funds to seek potential acquisition opportunities. Because SPACs and similar entities are in essence blank check companies without operating history or ongoing business other than seeking acquisitions, the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. An investment in a SPAC is subject a variety of risks, including that (i) a portion of the monies raised by the SPAC for the purpose of effecting an acquisition or merger may be expended prior to the transaction for payment of taxes and other purposes; (ii) prior to any acquisition or merger, a SPAC’s assets are typically invested in government securities, money market funds and similar investments whose returns or yields may be significantly lower than those of a Fund’s other investments; (iii) a Fund generally will not receive significant income from its investments in SPACs (both prior to and after any acquisition or merger) and, therefore, the Fund’s investments in SPACs will not significantly contribute to the Fund’s distributions to shareholders; (iv) an attractive acquisition or merger target may not be identified at all, in which case the SPAC will be required to return any remaining monies to shareholders; (v) if an acquisition or merger target is identified, the Fund may elect not to participate in the proposed transaction or the Fund may be required to divest its interests in the SPAC due to regulatory or other considerations, in which case the warrants or other rights with respect to the SPAC held by a Fund may expire worthless or may be repurchased or retired by the SPAC at an unfavorable price; (vi) any proposed merger or acquisition may be unable to obtain the requisite approval, if any, of SPAC shareholders; (vii) under any circumstances in which the Fund receives a refund of all or a portion of its original investment (which typically represents a pro rata share of the proceeds of the SPAC’s assets, less any applicable taxes), the returns on that investment may be negligible, and a Fund may be subject to opportunity costs to the extent that alternative investments would have produced higher returns; (viii) to the extent an acquisition or merger is announced or completed, shareholders who redeem their shares prior to that time may not reap any resulting benefits; (ix) a Fund may be delayed in receiving any redemption or liquidation proceeds from a SPAC to which it is entitled; (x) an acquisition or merger once effected may prove unsuccessful and an investment in the SPAC may lose value; (xi) an investment in a SPAC may be diluted by additional later offerings of interests in the SPAC or by other investors exercising existing rights to purchase shares of the SPAC; (xii) only a thinly traded market for shares of or interests in a SPAC may develop, or there may be no market at all, leaving a Fund unable to sell its interest in a SPAC or to sell its interest only at a price below what the Fund believes is the SPAC interest’s intrinsic value; and (xiii) the values of investments in SPACs may be highly volatile and may depreciate significantly over time.

Tax Risks —Tax risks associated with investments in the Funds include but are not limited to the following:

MLP Tax Risk. MLPs are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Partnerships do not pay U.S. federal income tax at the partnership level. Rather, each partner is allocated a share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses. A change in current tax law or a change in the underlying business mix of a given MLP could result in an MLP being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which would result in the MLP being required to pay U.S. federal income tax (as well as state and local income taxes) on its taxable income. This would have the effect of reducing the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP and could result in a reduction in the value of the Fund’s investment in the MLP and lower income to the Fund.

To the extent a distribution received by a Fund from an MLP is treated as a return of capital, the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in the interests of the MLP will be reduced, which may increase a Fund’s tax liability upon the sale of the interests in the MLP or upon subsequent distributions in respect of such interests.

9. INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

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

 

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

Fund Expenses — Period Ended May 31, 2022  (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P Shares of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares) and 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. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P 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 December 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022, which represents a period of 182 days in a 365 day year. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.

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

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

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

  *   Expenses for each share class are calculated using the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended May 31, 2022. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows:  

 

Fund   Class A     Class C     Institutional     Investor     Class R6     Class R     Class P  

Clean Energy Income

    1.26     2.01     0.89     1.01     0.88     1.51     0.88

Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)

 

Each Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act. The Program seeks to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, i.e., the risk that a Fund is unable to satisfy redemption requests without significantly diluting remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has designated GSAM, each Fund’s investment adviser, to administer the Program. Certain aspects of the Program rely on third parties to perform certain functions, including the provision of market data and application of models.

The Program is comprised of various components designed to support the assessment and/or management of liquidity risk, including: (1) the periodic assessment (no less frequently than annually) of certain factors that influence a Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) the periodic classification (no less frequently than monthly) of a Fund’s investments into one of four liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of their liquidity under current market conditions; (3) a 15% limit on the acquisition of “illiquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4); (4) for a Fund that does not invest primarily in “highly liquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4), the determination of a minimum percentage of the Fund’s assets that will generally be invested in highly liquid investments (a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum”); and (5) periodic reporting to the Board of Trustees.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees on February 8-9, 2022, GSAM provided a written report to the Board addressing the operation, and the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation, of the Program, including, as applicable, the operation of any Highly Liquid Investment Minimum and any material changes to the Program, for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”). Among other things, the annual report discussed: (1) the results of stress tests designed to assess liquidity under a hypothetical stressed scenario involving elevated redemptions; (2) an assessment of the methodologies used to classify investments into one of four liquidity categories; and (3) the impact of local holidays in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The report concluded that the Program continues to be reasonably designed to assess and manage liquidity risk and was adequately and effectively implemented during the Reporting Period.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks to which it may be subject.

Impact of Russian Invasion of Ukraine (Unaudited)

 

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has negatively affected the global economy and has resulted in significant disruptions in financial markets and increased macroeconomic uncertainty. In addition, governments around the world have responded to Russia’s invasion by imposing economic sanctions and export controls on certain industry sectors, companies and individuals in or associated with Russia. Russia has imposed its own restrictions against investors and countries outside Russia and has proposed additional measures aimed at non-Russian-owned businesses. Businesses in the U.S. and globally have experienced shortages in materials and increased costs for transportation, energy and raw materials due, in part, to the negative effects of the war on the global economy. The escalation or continuation of the war between Russia and Ukraine or other hostilities presents heightened risks relating to cyber-attacks, the frequency and volume of failures to settle securities transactions, supply chain disruptions, inflation, as well as the potential for increased volatility in commodity, currency and other financial markets. The extent and duration of the war, sanctions and resulting market disruptions, as well as the potential adverse consequences for the Funds’ operations are difficult to predict.

MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs Financial Square Funds

 

The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the money markets and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Funds (the “Funds”) during the six months ended May 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”). A fuller review of the markets and these changes will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended November 30, 2022.

Market and Economic Review

 

 

Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policy had the greatest influence on the money markets during the Reporting Period.

 

 

When the Reporting Period began in December 2021, the Fed maintained the targeted federal funds (“fed funds”) rate in a range between 0% and 0.25% but signaled the possibility of a more aggressive interest rate hike path amid continuing inflationary pressures.

 

 

In March 2022, Fed policymakers hiked short-term interest rates, raising the targeted fed funds rate by 25 basis points in the first U.S. rate increase since the end of 2018. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.)

 

   

Fed officials forecast six more rate hikes by the end of 2022.

 

   

Fed Chair Jerome Powell asserted a need to “move expeditiously” along the path to monetary policy normalization given persistently elevated inflation.

 

 

The Fed acknowledged inflationary pressures could be exacerbated by ongoing geopolitical tensions, such as those surrounding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

 

 

In May 2022, as widely anticipated, the Fed lifted the targeted fed funds rate by 50 basis points to a range between 0.75% and 1.00%. (On June 15th, after the Reporting Period ended, Fed policymakers raised the targeted fed funds rate by an additional 75 basis points to a range between 1.50% to 1.75% — the largest single rate increase since 1994 — and signaled they would likely continue tightening monetary policy at an aggressive pace.)

 

 

During the Reporting Period, the Fed scaled back its large-scale asset purchase program, ending it entirely in March 2022.

 

   

The Fed announced it would start reducing the size of its balance sheet beginning June 1, 2022 but expected to maintain ample reserves to ensure it could continue to effectively control short-term interest rates.

 

 

The money market yield curve steepened during the Reporting Period, as the Fed raised short-term interest rates.

 

 

In this environment, the yields of money market funds increased significantly.

Fund Changes and Highlights

On February 14, 2022, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the BMO Government Money Market Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), a series of BMO Funds, Inc., all of the assets and stated liabilities of the Acquired Fund were transferred to and assumed by Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), a series of the Trust (the “Reorganization Agreement”) in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate NAV equal to the NAV of the Acquired Fund as of the close of business on February 11, 2022.

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.

 

1    Each of the Treasury Obligations, Money Market 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), the Prime Obligations Fund offers ten separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier, Resource and Drexel Hamilton Class), the Treasury Instruments Fund offers eleven separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier, Resource, Loop Class and Seelaus Class), and the Government Fund offers fifteen separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier, Resource, Drexel Hamilton Class, Class R6, Class A, Class C, Loop Class and Seelaus Class), each of which is subject to different fees and expenses that affect performance and entitles shareholders to different services. The Institutional, Drexel Hamilton Class, 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.

 

2    The investment adviser may contractually agree to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses until a specified date. 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. The performance shown above reflects any waivers or reimbursements that were in effect for all or a portion of the periods shown. When waivers or reimbursements are in place, the Fund’s operating expenses are reduced and the Fund’s yield and total returns to the shareholder are increased.

 

3    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.

 

4    The SEC 7-Day Current Yield is calculated in accordance with securities industry regulations and does 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 Fund Total Return figures.

 

5    Source: iMoneyNet, Inc. May 2022. The iMoneyNet Institutional Average represents total return.

 

6    Government & Agencies Institutional–Category includes the most broadly based of the government institutional funds. These funds may generally invest in U.S. treasuries, U.S. agencies, repurchase agreements, or government-backed floating rate notes.

 

7    First Tier Institutional–Category includes only non-government institutional funds that also are not holding any second tier securities. Portfolio holdings of First Tier funds include U.S. Treasury, U.S. other, repurchase agreements, time deposits, domestic bank obligations, foreign bank obligations, first tier commercial paper, floating rate notes, and asset-backed commercial paper.

 

8    Treasury Institutional–Category includes only institutional government funds that hold 100 percent in U.S. Treasuries.

 

9    Treasury & Repo Institutional–Category includes only institutional government funds that hold U.S. Treasuries and repurchase agreements backed by the U.S. Treasury.

10    The 7-Day Distribution Yield is an annualized measure of a Fund’s dividends per share, divided by the price per share. This yield includes capital gain/loss distribution, if any. This is not an SEC Yield.

 

11    The SEC 7-Day Effective Yield is calculated in accordance with securities industry regulations and does not include net capital gains. The SEC 7-Day Effective Yield assumes reinvestment of dividends for one year.

 

12    The 30-Day Average Yield is a net annualized yield of 30 days back from the current date listed. This yield includes capital gain/loss distribution. This is not an SEC Yield.

 

13    A Fund’s weighted average maturity (WAM) is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. This must not exceed 60 days as calculated under SEC Rule 2a-7.

 

14    A Fund’s weighted average life (WAL) is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. This must not exceed 120 days as calculated under SEC Rule 2a-7.

GOLDMAN SACHS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS

 

Notes to Financial Statements

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:

   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. Each Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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.

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. 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 and tax exempt 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 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 distribution 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 distributable earnings 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.

 

78


GOLDMAN SACHS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS

 

 

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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

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

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

 

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 level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 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 May 31, 2022, 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 G7 countries which are generally classified as Level 1. Please refer to the Schedules of Investments for further detail.

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, as set forth below.

F.  Other Agreements — GSAM has agreed to reduce or 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, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year Other Expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets are 0.014%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least March 30, 2023, 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.

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.

5. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

 

As of May 31, 2022, the aggregate cost for each Fund stated in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities also represents aggregate cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three tax 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.

 

6. OTHER RISKS

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

Credit/Default Risk — An issuer or guarantor of a security held by a Fund, or a bank or other financial institution that has entered into a repurchase agreement with the Fund, may default on its obligation to pay interest and repay principal or default on any other obligation. Additionally, the credit quality of securities may deteriorate rapidly, which may impair a Fund’s liquidity and cause significant deterioration in NAV.

Floating and Variable Rate Obligations Risk — Floating rate and variable rate obligations are debt instruments issued by companies or other entities with interest rates that reset periodically (typically, daily, monthly, quarterly, or semiannually) in response to changes in the market rate of interest on which the interest rate is based. For floating and variable rate obligations, there may be a lag between an actual change in the underlying interest rate benchmark and the reset time for an interest payment of such an obligation, which could harm or benefit a Fund, depending on the interest rate environment or other circumstances. In a rising interest rate environment, for example, a floating or variable rate obligation that does not reset immediately would prevent a Fund from taking full advantage of rising interest rates in a timely manner. However, in a declining interest rate environment, a Fund may benefit from a lag due to an obligation’s interest rate payment not being immediately impacted by a decline in interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, the Fund’s yield will tend to be lower than prevailing market rates, and the market value of its investments will generally decline. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk in connection with the type and extent of certain monetary policy changes made by the Federal Reserve, such as target interest rate changes. The risks associated with changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and the Fund’s investments. A low interest rate environment poses additional risks to the 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 current income, or minimize the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share and/ or achieve its investment objective. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. A sudden or unpredictable increase in interest rates may cause volatility in the market and may decrease the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which would make it harder for the Fund to sell its investments at an advantageous time.

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, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, 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 or otherwise maintains 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.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). The value of the securities in which a Fund

GOLDMAN SACHS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS

6. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments. 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.

 

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.

Mergers and Reorganizations — On February 14, 2022, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the BMO Government Money Market Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), a series of BMO Funds, Inc., all of the assets and stated liabilities of the Acquired Fund were transferred to and assumed by Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), a series of the Trust (the “Reorganization Agreement”) in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate NAV equal to the NAV of the Acquired Fund as of the close of business on February 11, 2022. Such shares were then redistributed to the Acquired Fund’s shareholders, in a tax-free exchange as follows:

Impact of Russian Invasion of Ukraine (Unaudited)

 

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has negatively affected the global economy and has resulted in significant disruptions in financial markets and increased macroeconomic uncertainty. In addition, governments around the world have responded to Russia’s invasion by imposing economic sanctions and export controls on certain industry sectors, companies and individuals in or associated with Russia. Russia has imposed its own restrictions against investors and countries outside Russia and has proposed additional measures aimed at non-Russian-owned businesses. Businesses in the U.S. and globally have experienced shortages in materials and increased costs for transportation, energy and raw materials due, in part, to the negative effects of the war on the global economy. The escalation or continuation of the war between Russia and Ukraine or other hostilities presents heightened risks relating to cyber-attacks, the frequency and volume of failures to settle securities transactions, supply chain disruptions, inflation, as well as the potential for increased volatility in commodity, currency and other financial markets. The extent and duration of the war, sanctions and resulting market disruptions, as well as the potential adverse consequences for the Funds’ operations are difficult to predict.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended May 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Capital, Service, Preferred, Select, Administration, Cash Management, Premier, Resource, Class R6, Drexel Hamilton Class, Loop Class or Seelaus Class 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, Class R6 Shares, Drexel Hamilton Class, Loop Class or Seelaus Class 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 December 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022, which represents a period of 182 days in a 365-day year.

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

MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs Investor Funds

 

The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the taxable and tax-exempt money markets and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs Investor Funds (the “Funds”) during the six months ended May 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”). A fuller review of the markets and these changes will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended November 30, 2022.

Market and Economic Review

 

 

Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policy had the greatest influence on the taxable and tax-exempt money markets during the Reporting Period.

 

 

When the Reporting Period began in December 2021, the Fed maintained the targeted federal funds (“fed funds”) rate in a range between 0% and 0.25% but signaled the possibility of a more aggressive interest rate hike path amid continuing inflationary pressures.

 

 

In March 2022, Fed policymakers hiked short-term interest rates, raising the targeted fed funds rate by 25 basis points in the first U.S. rate increase since the end of 2018. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.)

 

   

Fed officials forecast six more rate hikes by the end of 2022.

 

   

Fed Chair Jerome Powell asserted a need to “move expeditiously” along the path to monetary policy normalization given persistently elevated inflation.

 

 

The Fed acknowledged inflationary pressures could be exacerbated by ongoing geopolitical tensions, such as those surrounding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

 

 

In May 2022, as widely anticipated, the Fed lifted the targeted fed funds rate by 50 basis points to a range between 0.75% and 1.00%. (On June 15th, after the Reporting Period ended, Fed policymakers raised the targeted fed funds rate by another 75 basis points to a range between 1.50% to 1.75% — the largest single rate increase since 1994 — and signaled they would likely continue tightening monetary policy at an aggressive pace.)

 

 

During the Reporting Period overall, the Fed scaled back its large-scale asset purchase program, ending it entirely in March 2022.

 

   

The Fed announced it would start reducing the size of its balance sheet beginning June 1, 2022 but expected to maintain ample reserves to ensure it could continue to effectively control short-term interest rates.

 

 

The taxable and tax-exempt money market yield curves steepened during the Reporting Period, as the Fed raised short-term interest rates.

 

 

In this environment, the yields of taxable and tax-exempt money market funds increased significantly.

Fund Changes and Highlights

On February 14, 2022, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the BMO Prime Money Market Fund and BMO Tax-Free Money Market Fund (each, an “Acquired Fund”), each a series of BMO Funds, Inc., all of the assets and stated liabilities of the Acquired Funds were transferred to and assumed by Goldman Sachs Investor Money Market Fund and Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (each, an “Acquiring Fund”), respectively, each a series of the Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Reorganization Agreement”) in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Funds having an aggregate NAV equal to the NAV of the Acquired Funds as of the close of business on February 11, 2022.

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.

 

1    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.

 

2   The investment adviser may contractually agree to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses until a specified date. 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. The performance shown above reflects any waivers or reimbursements that were in effect for all or a portion of the periods shown. When waivers or reimbursements are in place, the Fund’s operating expenses are reduced and the Fund’s yield and total returns to the shareholder are increased.

 

3    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.

 

4    The SEC 7-Day Current Yield is calculated in accordance with securities industry regulations and does 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 Fund Total Return figures.

 

5    Source: iMoneyNet, Inc. May 2022. The iMoneyNet Institutional Average represents total return.

 

6    First Tier Retail–Category includes only non-government retail funds that also are not holding any second-tier securities. Portfolio holdings of first-tier funds include US Treasury, US other, repos, time deposits, domestic bank obligations, foreign bank obligations, first-tier commercial paper, floating rate notes and asset-backed commercial paper.

 

7    Tax-Free National Retail–Category includes all retail national and state tax-free and municipal money funds. Portfolio holdings of tax-free funds include rated and unrated demand notes, rated and unrated general market notes, commercial paper, put bonds—6 months & less, put bonds—over 6 months, alternative minimum tax paper and other tax-free holdings. Consists of all funds in the National Tax-Free Retail and State-Specific Retail categories.

Notes to Financial Statements

May 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

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

 

Fund      Share Classes Offered    Diversified/
Non-Diversified

Investor Money Market

    

Class A, Class C, Class I, Service, Administration, Cash Management, and Resource

   Diversified

Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market

    

Class A, Class C, Class I, Capital, Service, Preferred, Select, Administration, Cash Management, Premier, and Resource

   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.

 

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. Each Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

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.

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. 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.

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, each Fund is 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 distribution 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 distributable earnings 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.

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 level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 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 May 31, 2022, all investments 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.

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, as set forth below.

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, as set forth below.

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.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

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 Service 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 six months ended May 31, 2022, Goldman Sachs has advised that it did not retain any CDSCs with respect to Class C Shares of the Funds.

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 March 30, 2023, 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.

5. TAX INFORMATION

 

As of the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, November 30, 2021, the Funds’ certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows:

      Investor
Money Market
      

Investor
Tax-Exempt

Money
Market

 

Timing differences (Distribution Payable)

   $ 2,299        $ (7,110

The aggregate cost for each Fund stated in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities also represents aggregate cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three tax 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.

 

6. OTHER RISKS

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

Credit/Default Risk — An issuer or guarantor of a security held by the Fund, or a bank or other financial institution that has entered into a repurchase agreement with the Fund, may default on its obligation to pay interest and repay principal or default on any other obligation. Additionally, the credit quality of securities may deteriorate rapidly, which may impair the Fund’s liquidity and cause significant deterioration in NAV.

Floating and Variable Rate Obligations Risk — Floating rate and variable rate obligations are debt instruments issued by companies or other entities with interest rates that reset periodically (typically, daily. monthly, quarterly, or semiannually) in response to changes in the market rate of interest on which the interest rate is based. For floating and variable rate obligations, there may be a lag between an actual change in the underlying interest rate benchmark and the reset time for an interest payment of such an obligation, which could harm or benefit the Fund, depending on the interest rate environment or other circumstances. In a rising interest rate environment, for example, a floating or variable rate obligation that does not reset immediately would prevent the Fund from taking full advantage of rising interest rates in a timely manner. However, in a declining interest rate environment, the Fund may benefit from a lag due to an obligation’s interest rate payment not being immediately impacted by a decline in interest rates.

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.

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. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk in connection with the type and extent of certain monetary policy changes made by the Federal Reserve, such as target interest rate changes. 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. A sudden or unpredictable increase in interest rates may cause volatility in the market and may decrease the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which would make it harder for the Fund to sell its investments at an advantageous time.

 

36


GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS

 

 

 

6. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, 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 or otherwise maintains 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.

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). The value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments. 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.

Municipal Securities Risk — Municipal securities are subject to credit/default risk, interest rate risk and certain additional risks. The Fund may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in the debt securities of similar projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities), industrial Development bonds, or in particular types of municipal securities (such as general obligation bonds, private activity bonds and moral obligation bonds). While interest earned on municipal securities is generally not subject to federal tax, any interest earned on taxable municipal securities is fully taxable at the federal level and may be subject to tax at the state level.

 

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.

Mergers and Reorganizations — On February 14, 2022, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the BMO Prime Money Market Fund and BMO Tax-Free Money Market Fund (each, an “Acquired Fund”), each a series of BMO Funds, Inc., all of the assets and stated liabilities of the Acquired Funds were transferred to and assumed by Goldman Sachs Investor Money Market Fund and Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (each, an “Acquiring Fund”), respectively, each a series of the Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Reorganization Agreement”) in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Funds having

Impact of Russian Invasion of Ukraine (Unaudited)

 

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has negatively affected the global economy and has resulted in significant disruptions in financial markets and increased macroeconomic uncertainty. In addition, governments around the world have responded to Russia’s invasion by imposing economic sanctions and export controls on certain industry sectors, companies and individuals in or associated with Russia. Russia has imposed its own restrictions against investors and countries outside Russia and has proposed additional measures aimed at non-Russian-owned businesses. Businesses in the U.S. and globally have experienced shortages in materials and increased costs for transportation, energy and raw materials due, in part, to the negative effects of the war on the global economy. The escalation or continuation of the war between Russia and Ukraine or other hostilities presents heightened risks relating to cyber-attacks, the frequency and volume of failures to settle securities transactions, supply chain disruptions, inflation, as well as the potential for increased volatility in commodity, currency and other financial markets. The extent and duration of the war, sanctions and resulting market disruptions, as well as the potential adverse consequences for the Funds’ operations are difficult to predict.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended  May 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class I Shares, Capital Shares, Service Shares, Preferred Shares, Select Shares, Administration Shares, Cash Management Shares, Premier Shares, or Resource 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.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from December 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022, which represents a period of 182 days in a 365-day year.

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

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

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