Dear Shareholder or Variable Contract Owner:

I am writing to you on an important matter relating to the Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Trust, Goldman Sachs Trust II and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust (collectively, the “Funds”). In July 2023, the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (the “Boards” or “Trustees”) voted to align and consolidate the membership of the Boards (the “Proposal”). The Proposal, which is discussed in greater detail in the accompanying Joint Proxy Statement for Special Joint Meeting of Shareholders (the “Joint Proxy Statement”), is subject to shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Funds will hold a virtual special joint meeting of shareholders on November 16, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time (with any postponements or adjournments, the “Meeting”).

The following matters will be considered and acted upon at the Meeting:

 

  i.

shareholders of the Funds within Goldman Sachs ETF Trust will be asked to elect seven Trustees to the Board of their Funds;

 

  ii.

shareholders of the Funds within Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II will be asked to elect seven Trustees to the Board of their Funds;

 

  iii.

shareholders of the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund will be asked to elect seven Trustees to the Board of their Fund;

 

  iv.

shareholders of the Funds within Goldman Sachs Trust will be asked to elect nine Trustees to the Board of their Funds;

 

  v.

shareholders of the Funds within Goldman Sachs Trust II will be asked to elect seven Trustees to the Board of their Funds; and

 

  vi.

shareholders of the Funds within Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust will be asked to elect nine Trustees to the Board of their Funds.

The Board of each of the Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Trust II currently consists of the same six Independent Trustees (i.e., Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the applicable Funds, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) as well as James A. McNamara, an Interested Trustee. The Board of each of the Goldman Sachs Trust and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust also currently consists of the same seven Independent Trustees as well as Mr. McNamara, an Interested Trustee. In order to bring the memberships of the Boards into alignment, (i) the Independent Trustees of the Goldman Sachs Trust and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust have been nominated for election to the Board of each of the Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Trust II; and (ii) the Independent Trustees of the Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Trust II have been nominated for election to the Board of each of the Goldman Sachs Trust and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust. In addition, three current Independent Trustees of the Goldman Sachs Trust and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, who were


previously appointed by other Independent Trustees to those Boards rather than elected by shareholders, have been nominated for election to continue to serve as Trustees on those Boards.

The alignment and consolidation of the Boards’ memberships would provide an opportunity to enhance the effectiveness of board oversight and result in other potential benefits as described in the accompanying Joint Proxy Statement. If elected by shareholders, the nominees would begin serving as Trustees of the applicable Board on January 1, 2024.

You are cordially invited to attend the Meeting. The Meeting will be conducted as a virtual meeting hosted by means of a live webcast. Shareholders and variable contract owners will be able to listen and vote from their home or any location with internet connectivity.

You or your proxyholder will be able to attend the Meeting online and vote by visiting www.proxyvote.com and using a control number assigned by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”). To register and receive access to the virtual meeting, you will need to follow the instructions provided in the Notice of Special Meeting and Joint Proxy Statement that follow.

WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO BE PRESENT AT THE MEETING, YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT. After careful consideration, the Board of each of the Funds unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each applicable nominee. However, before you vote, please read the Joint Proxy Statement for a complete description of the Proposal. If you do not plan to be present at the Meeting, you can vote by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form promptly or by using the Internet or telephone voting options as described on your proxy card or voting instruction form. If you have any questions regarding the proxy materials, please contact Broadridge at 855-973-0097. Your prompt response will help reduce proxy costs and will also mean that you can avoid receiving follow-up phone calls or mailings.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

FOR SHAREHOLDERS

For your convenience, the following “Questions and Answers” are a summary of, and are not intended to be as detailed as, the discussion found in the accompanying Joint Proxy Statement for Special Joint Meeting of Shareholders (the “Joint Proxy Statement”). The information in this “Questions and Answers” section is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Joint Proxy Statement. We encourage you to carefully review the information contained in the Joint Proxy Statement.

General

 

Q.

Why am I receiving these proxy materials?

 

A.

You are receiving these proxy materials, which includes the Notice of Special Joint Meeting of Shareholders (“Notice”), the Joint Proxy Statement and your proxy card(s) and/or voting instruction form(s), because you have the right to notice of, and to vote on, an important governance matter concerning the Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (“GSETF Trust”), Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II (“GSETF Trust II”), Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund (“Real Estate Fund”), Goldman Sachs Trust (“GS Trust”), Goldman Sachs Trust II (“GS Trust II”) and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust (“GS VIT”) (collectively, the “Funds”). In particular, you are being asked to consider and act upon the Proposal (defined below), which requires shareholder approval.

The Boards of Trustees of the Funds (the “Boards,” and the members thereof, the “Trustees”) separately determined that it is in the best interests of the Fund(s) under their respective oversight to align and consolidate the membership of the Boards so that all of the Funds are overseen by the same Trustees. Accordingly, the Boards have proposed the election of nominees (the “Nominees”) to the Boards (the “Proposal”) as discussed below.

The Board of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II currently consists of the same six Independent Trustees (i.e., Trustees who are not “interested persons” of each of the applicable Funds, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “ETF/ETFII/RE/GSTII Independent Trustees”)) as well as James A. McNamara, an Interested Trustee of the applicable Funds. The Board of each of the GS Trust and GS VIT also currently consists of the same seven Independent Trustees (the “GST/GS VIT Independent Trustees”) as well as Mr. McNamara, an Interested Trustee of the applicable Funds.

In order to bring the memberships of the Boards into alignment, (i) the GST/GS VIT Independent Trustees have been nominated for election to the Board of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II; and (ii) the ETF/ETFII/RE/GSTII Independent Trustees have been nominated for election to the Board of each of the GS Trust and GS VIT. In addition, three current GST/GS VIT Independent Trustees, who were previously appointed by other Independent Trustees to those Boards rather than elected by shareholders, have been nominated for election to continue to serve as Trustees on those Boards. Electing these three current GST/GS VIT Independent Trustees would give the applicable Board additional flexibility in the future to appoint a limited number of additional new Trustees, if necessary, without incurring the costs of holding one or more expensive shareholder meetings.

The Boards believe that this alignment and consolidation through the election of all of the Nominees would be beneficial to the Funds and their shareholders. If elected by shareholders, the Nominees would begin serving as Trustees of the applicable Board on January 1, 2024.

 

Q.

Why am I being asked to vote?

 

A.

As of August 21, 2023 (the “Record Date”), the record date fixed by the Boards, you were a shareholder of record of one or more of the Funds within the Goldman Sachs registered fund complex. The Proposal requires the approval of shareholders of the Funds.


Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries of variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by life insurance companies having separate accounts that invest in shares of one or more of the Funds within GS VIT who are entitled to give voting instructions in connection with their variable contracts with respect to the Proposal are referred to herein as “shareholders” with respect to such Fund(s).

After careful consideration, each Board unanimously recommends that shareholders of the Fund(s) under its oversight vote “FOR” the election of each applicable Nominee.

 

Q.

Why am I being asked to elect each of the Nominees as Trustees?

 

A.

Each of the Nominees either currently serves as a GST/GS VIT Independent Trustee or an ETF/ETFII/RE/GSTII Independent Trustee. The election of the Nominees is part of the intended alignment and consolidation of the Boards. If shareholders approve the Proposal, the membership of each of the Boards will be as follows:

 

   

the membership of the Board of each of the GS Trust and GS VIT will be expanded to include the six ETF/ETFII/RE/GSTII Independent Trustees; and

 

   

the membership of the Board of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II will be expanded to include the seven GST/GS VIT Independent Trustees.

Each Nominee would not be deemed to be an “interested person,” as that term is defined under the 1940 Act, of any of the Funds. Mr. McNamara would be considered an “interested person” of each Fund because he holds positions with Goldman Sachs and owns securities issued by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Election of all of the Nominees will bring the membership of the Boards into alignment. This alignment and consolidation would provide an opportunity to enhance the effectiveness of board oversight and result in other potential benefits as described in the accompanying Joint Proxy Statement.

 

Q.

Why have the Boards approved the Proposal (the election of each applicable Nominee)?

 

A.

Each of the Boards unanimously determined that the board realignment and consolidation could provide benefits to shareholders of the Fund(s) under their respective oversight. Each Board has reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of the Nominees and believes that they are experienced in overseeing investment companies and are familiar with the Goldman Sachs registered fund complex and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P (“GSAM” or the “Investment Adviser”). In addition, the Boards have had the opportunity to meet with GSAM representatives and communicated with each other to consider and develop the Proposal. In particular, the Boards considered:

 

   

that each Fund would benefit from the additional experience, insights and oversight from the election of the Nominees that are not currently members of its Board;

 

   

that each of the Nominees has significant professional experience and skills, as well as experience overseeing investment companies;

 

   

that a single, consolidated Board would reduce GSAM’s administrative and operational efforts in supporting multiple Boards and enable GSAM to focus greater resources and time on providing services to the Funds;

 

   

that a single, consolidated Board with increased skill sets, backgrounds and depth of experience with all types of funds within the Goldman Sachs registered fund complex would be better positioned to respond to the increasing complexities of the registered fund business;

 

   

that GSAM has agreed to bear a portion of the costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation (up to $2,100,000). Each Fund will be allocated its respective share of the remaining costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation, with fixed costs allocated to the Funds equally and certain variable costs (e.g., costs of printing and mailing) allocated to the Funds on a pro rata basis based on the number of shareholders of each Fund. In addition, for Funds subject to an expense reimbursement arrangement, GSAM will reimburse the costs associated with the board


 

realignment and consolidation to the extent needed to ensure that no Fund’s allocated costs would increase such Fund’s total expense ratio by more than 0.004%. In no event will the allocated costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation increase a Fund’s total expense ratio by more than 0.004%;

 

   

that a single, consolidated Board would facilitate succession planning efforts of the Boards and alleviate the costs of identifying and onboarding new Board members in the future, who may have potentially less experience overseeing funds, including those managed by GSAM; and

 

   

that a single governance platform would reduce the costs and complexity of potential Fund conversions and reorganizations within the Goldman Sachs registered fund complex overseen by the Boards.

 

Q.

As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds within the GS Trust and GS VIT, why am I being asked to elect three incumbent Nominees as Trustees?

 

A.

While a Board can ordinarily appoint new Trustees without a shareholder vote, the Board cannot do so if, after such appointment, fewer than two-thirds of the Trustees would have been elected by shareholders. By electing the three incumbent Nominees of the GS Trust and GS VIT that were not previously elected by shareholders, the applicable Boards would have additional flexibility in the future to appoint a limited number of additional new Trustees, if necessary, without incurring the costs of holding one or more expensive shareholder meetings. Accordingly, the Boards of the GS Trust and GS VIT believe this is an appropriate time for the incumbent Trustees that were previously appointed (rather than elected) to stand for election.

Voting

 

Q.

Who is asking for my vote?

 

A.

Your vote is being solicited by and on behalf of the Board of your Fund with respect to the special joint meeting of shareholders of the Funds to be held on November 16, 2023 (with any postponements or adjournments, the “Meeting”). As a shareholder of record of any of the Funds as of the close of business on the Record Date, you are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting, even if you no longer own Fund shares.

 

Q.

How does the Board of my Fund recommend that I vote?

 

A.

After careful consideration, the Board of your Fund unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the Proposal (the election of each applicable Nominee). Please see the section entitled “Summary of the Reasons for the Board Alignment and Consolidation” with respect to the Proposal for a discussion of your Board’s considerations in making such recommendation.

 

Q.

Why am I receiving information about Funds I do not own?

 

A.

The Proposal is similar for each of the Funds, and the Boards have concluded that it is cost-effective to hold the Meeting concurrently for all of the Funds.

 

Q.

What vote is required to approve the Proposal?

 

A.

Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share held and a fractional vote proportionate to fractional shares held as of the Record Date.

For each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund, GS Trust, GS Trust II and GS VIT, the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders owning shares representing one-third (1/3) or more of the total combined shares entitled to vote at the Meeting shall constitute a quorum at the Meeting.

For each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund, GS Trust, GS Trust II and GS VIT, when a quorum is present, an affirmative vote by a plurality of the shares voted shall elect a Nominee as Trustee.


For each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, GS Trust, GS Trust II and GS VIT, the Proposal applies on a trust-wide basis, and all series (i.e., the respective Funds) and classes thereof will vote together on the Proposal. However, the vote on the Proposal or the election of a Nominee by the shareholders of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund, GS Trust, GS Trust II and GS VIT will not affect the Proposal or the election of a Nominee with respect to the other Funds.

 

Q.

Will my vote make a difference?

 

A.

Yes! Your vote is needed to ensure that the Proposal can be acted upon, and your vote can make a difference in the governance of the Fund(s) that you own. We encourage all shareholders to participate in the governance of their Fund(s). Additionally, your immediate response on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form, on the Internet or over the phone will help save the costs of any further solicitations.

 

Q.

If I am a small investor, why should I bother to vote?

 

A.

You should vote because every vote is important. If numerous shareholders just like you do not vote, the Funds may not receive enough votes to go forward with the Meeting. If this happens, the Funds will need to solicit votes again. This may delay the Meeting and the approval of the Proposal and generate unnecessary costs.

 

Q.

How do I place my vote?

 

A.

Shareholders can vote in any one of four ways:

 

   

By mailing the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form after signing and dating;

 

   

Over the Internet by going to the website indicated on your proxy card or voting instruction form;

 

   

By telephone, with a toll free call to the number on your proxy card or voting instruction form; or

 

   

By attending the virtual Meeting and voting during the webcast.

We encourage you to vote over the Internet by going to the website provided on your enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form, or by telephone by calling the toll-free number on your enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form, in each case using the voting control number that appears on your proxy card or voting instruction form. These voting methods will save money. However, whichever method you choose, please take the time to read the Joint Proxy Statement before you vote.

 

Q.

I plan to vote by mail. How should I sign my proxy card or voting instruction form?

 

A.

Please see the instructions at the end of the Notice, which is enclosed.

 

Q.

I plan to vote over the Internet. How does Internet voting work?

 

A.

To vote over the Internet, please log on to the website indicated on your proxy card or voting instruction form and follow the instructions provided on the voting website.

 

Q.

I plan to vote by telephone. How does telephone voting work?

 

A.

To vote by telephone, please call toll free the number on your proxy card or voting instruction form from within the United States and follow the instructions provided during your call.

 

Q.

Whom should I call with questions?

 

A.

If you have any additional questions about the Joint Proxy Statement or the upcoming Meeting, please contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) at 855-973-0097.


Q:

What is the relationship between the proxy solicitor, Broadridge, and the Funds?

 

A:

The Funds have retained an outside firm, Broadridge, which specializes in proxy solicitation to assist it with the proxy solicitation process, including the mailing of this Joint Proxy Statement, the collection of the proxies, and with any necessary follow-up. A proxy solicitor may contact shareholders on behalf of the Funds, but is not permitted to use personal information about shareholders for other purposes.

After careful consideration, the Board of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund, GS Trust, GS Trust II and GS VIT unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the Proposal (the election of each applicable Nominee).

The matters referred to above are discussed in the Joint Proxy Statement attached to this notice. The Board of your Fund believes that the Proposal is in the best interests of the Fund and its Shareholders.

Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries of variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (“variable contracts”) issued by life insurance companies (the “Life Companies”) having separate accounts (the “Accounts”) that invest in shares of one or more of the Funds within GS VIT who are entitled to give voting instructions in connection with their variable contracts with respect to the Proposal are referred to herein as “shareholders” with respect to such Fund(s). Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Goldman Sachs Asset Management,


L.P. (“GSAM” or the “Investment Adviser”), the Life Companies and the Accounts are the only shareholders of GS VIT. Each Life Company hereby solicits and agrees to vote the shares of a GS VIT Fund at the Meeting, and, as applicable, in accordance with timely instructions received from owners of variable contracts issued by it and having contract values allocated to one of its Accounts invested in such shares.

You will be able to attend the Meeting online and vote your shares electronically. To participate in the Meeting, Shareholders must register in advance by visiting https://www.viewproxy.com/goldmansachs/broadridgevsm/ and submitting the required information to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), the Funds’ proxy solicitor.

Shareholders whose shares are registered directly with a Fund in the shareholder’s name will be asked to submit their name and control number found on the shareholder’s proxy card in order to register to participate in and vote at the Meeting. Shareholders whose shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee must first obtain a “legal proxy” from the applicable nominee/record holder, who will then provide the shareholder with a newly-issued control number. We note that obtaining a legal proxy may take several days. Requests for registration should be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 14, 2023, but in any event must be received by the scheduled time for commencement of the Meeting. Once a shareholder has obtained a new control number, he or she must visit https://www.viewproxy.com/goldmansachs/broadridgevsm/ and submit his or her name and newly issued control number in order to register to participate in and vote at the Meeting.

After shareholders have submitted their registration information, they will receive an email from Broadridge that confirms that their registration request has been received and is under review by Broadridge. Once a shareholder’s registration request has been accepted, the shareholder will receive (i) an email containing an event link and dial-in information to attend the Meeting, and (ii) an email with a password to enter at the event link in order to access the Meeting. Only shareholders of a Fund present virtually or by proxy will be able to vote, or otherwise exercise the powers of a shareholder, at the Meeting. Shareholders may vote before or during the Meeting at www.proxyvote.com.

The Meeting webcast will begin promptly at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time. We encourage you to access the Meeting prior to the start time. For additional information on how you can attend and participate in the virtual Meeting, please see the instructions beginning on page 1 of the Joint Proxy Statement that follows. Because the Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting, there will be no physical location for shareholders to attend.

The matters referred to above are discussed in the Joint Proxy Statement attached to this Notice. Shareholders and variable contract owners of record at the close of business on August 21, 2023, the record date for the Meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote, or instruct the Life Company that issued the contract as to the manner in which shares of a GS VIT Fund attributable to the contract should be voted, at the Meeting and at any postponements or adjournments thereof.

If you will not be present at the Meeting, we urge you to sign, date and promptly return the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form in the envelope provided, which is addressed for your convenience and needs no postage if mailed in the United States. You may also vote easily and quickly by Internet or by telephone. In order to avoid the additional expense to the Funds of further solicitation, we ask your cooperation in returning your proxy or voting instruction promptly.

JOINT PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL JOINT MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 16, 2023

This Joint Proxy Statement and enclosed Notice of Special Joint Meeting of Shareholders (“Notice”) and proxy card are being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Boards of Trustees (the “Boards,” and the members thereof, the “Trustees”) of the Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (“GSETF Trust”), Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II (“GSETF Trust II”), Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund (“Real Estate Fund”), Goldman Sachs Trust (“GS Trust”), Goldman Sachs Trust II (“GS Trust II”) and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust (“GS VIT”) (collectively, the “Funds”). The proxies are being solicited for use at a virtual special joint meeting of shareholders of each Fund to be held on November 16, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time (with any postponements or adjournments, the “Meeting”).

This Joint Proxy Statement is also being furnished by certain life insurance companies (the “Life Companies”) to owners, annuitants and beneficiaries (“variable contract owners”) of variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (“variable contracts”) issued by a Life Company and having contract assets on the record date allocated to a separate account of a Life Company that has invested in shares of one or more of the Funds within GS VIT (an “Account”). Shareholders and variable contract owners are referred to herein collectively as “shareholders,” unless otherwise specified.

2. To transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

After careful consideration, the Board of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund, GS Trust, GS Trust II and GS VIT unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the Proposal (the election of each applicable Nominee). The Proposal will be voted upon separately by each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund, GS Trust, GS Trust II and GS VIT. For each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, GS Trust, GS Trust II and GS VIT, the Proposal applies on a Trust-wide basis, and all series (i.e., the respective Funds) and classes thereof will vote together on the Proposal.

As further explained below, election of all of the Nominees will bring the membership of the Boards into alignment. This alignment and consolidation would provide the opportunity to enhance the effectiveness of board oversight, and result in other potential benefits, as described below. If elected by shareholders, the Nominees would begin serving as Trustees of the applicable Board on January 1, 2024. The Boards have determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement for the Meeting is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders because similar matters are being considered and voted on by the shareholders of the other Funds.

The Meeting will be a virtual meeting conducted exclusively via live webcast starting at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time on November 16, 2023. You will be able to attend the Meeting online and vote your shares electronically. To participate in the Meeting, shareholders must register in advance by visiting https://www.viewproxy.com/goldmansachs/broadridgevsm/and submitting the required information to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), the Funds’ proxy solicitor.

Shareholders whose shares are registered directly with a Fund in the Shareholder’s name will be asked to submit their name and control number found on the Shareholder’s proxy card in order to register to participate in and vote at the Meeting. Shareholders whose shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee must first obtain a “legal proxy” from the applicable nominee/record holder, who will then provide the shareholder with a newly-issued control number. We note that obtaining a legal proxy may take several days. Requests for registration should be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 14. 2023, but in any event must be received by the scheduled time for commencement of the Meeting. Once shareholders have obtained a new control number, they must visit https://www.viewproxy.com/goldmansachs/broadridgevsm/ and submit their name and newly issued control number in order to register to participate in and vote at the Meeting.

After Shareholders have submitted their registration information, they will receive an email from Broadridge that confirms that their registration request has been received and is under review by Broadridge. Once a Shareholder’s registration request has been accepted, the Shareholder will receive (i) an email containing an event link and dial-in information to attend the Meeting, and (ii) an email with a password to enter at the event link in order to access the Meeting. Shareholders may vote before or during the Meeting at www.proxyvote.com. Only Shareholders of a Fund present virtually or by proxy will be able to vote, or otherwise exercise the powers of a Shareholder, at the Meeting.

The Boards have fixed the close of business on August 21, 2023 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting (the “Record Date”). Shareholders of record of the Funds on the Record Date are entitled to one vote per share at the Meeting. Appendix C to this Joint Proxy Statement sets forth the number of shares of beneficial interest of each Fund outstanding as of the Record Date. Appendix D to this Joint Proxy Statement sets forth the persons who owned beneficially more than 5% of any class of a Fund as of July 31, 2023.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM” or the “Investment Adviser”), the Life Companies and the Accounts are the only shareholders of GS VIT. Each Life Company

hereby solicits and agrees to vote the shares of one or more Funds within GS VIT at the Meeting, and, as applicable, in accordance with timely instructions received from persons entitled to give voting instructions under variable contracts issued by it and having contract values allocated to one of its Accounts invested in shares of one or more Funds within GS VIT. As a variable contract owner of record at the close of business on the Record Date, you have the right to instruct the Life Company that issued your contract as to the manner in which shares of one or more Funds within GS VIT attributable to your contract should be voted. The Life Companies will vote shares attributable to variable contracts as to which proxy cards or voting instruction forms are neither executed nor returned in proportion (“for” or “withhold authority”) to those shares for which instructions are received. As a result, a small number of variable contract owners could determine the outcome of the vote for the GS VIT if other owners fail to vote. GSAM will vote shares of GS VIT that it owns, if any, in proportion to the votes cast by the Life Companies on behalf of variable contract owners.

The Funds’ officers, and personnel of the Funds’ investment adviser and transfer agents and any authorized proxy solicitation agent, may also solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, Internet or in person. If the Funds record votes through the Internet or by telephone, it will use procedures designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, to allow shareholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions, and to confirm that their identities have been properly recorded.

GSAM has agreed to bear a portion of the costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation (up to $2,100,000). Each Fund will be allocated its respective share of the remaining costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation, with fixed costs allocated to the Funds equally and certain variable costs (e.g., costs of printing and mailing) allocated to the Funds on a pro rata basis based on the number of shareholders of each Fund. In addition, for Funds subject to an expense reimbursement arrangement, GSAM will reimburse the costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation to the extent needed to ensure that no Fund’s allocated costs would increase such Fund’s total expense ratio by more than 0.004%. In no event will the allocated costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation increase a Fund’s total expense ratio by more than 0.004%. The Funds and GSAM have retained Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”), a proxy solicitation firm, to assist the solicitation and tabulation of proxies, and Donnelley Financial Solutions (“DFIN”), to assist with the printing of proxy materials. The cost of DFIN’s and Broadridge’s services in connection with the proxy solicitation is approximately $6.6 million.

To vote by mail, sign, date and promptly return the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form in the accompanying postage pre-paid envelope. To vote by Internet or telephone, please use the control number on your proxy card or voting instruction form and follow the instructions as described on your proxy card or voting instruction form. If you have any questions regarding the proxy materials, please contact Broadridge at 855-973-0097. If the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form is properly executed and received prior to the Meeting and has not been revoked, the shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the instructions marked on the returned proxy card or voting instruction form or, if no instructions are marked on the returned proxy card or voting instruction form, the proxy card or voting instruction form will be voted FOR the election of the Nominees described in this Joint Proxy Statement, and in the discretion of the persons named as proxies in connection with any other matter that may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

Any person giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by submitting to the Secretary of the Funds, c/o Goldman Sachs Funds, Attention: Shareholder Services Media Support, 71 South Wacker Drive, Suite 1200 Chicago, IL 60606, a written notice of revocation or subsequently executed proxy or voting instruction form or by virtually attending and voting at the Meeting.

If (i) you are a member of a household in which multiple shareholders of a Fund share the same address, (ii) your shares are held in “street name” and (iii) your broker or bank has received consent to household material, then your broker or bank may have sent to your household only one copy of this Joint Proxy Statement or the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, unless your broker or bank previously received contrary

instructions from a shareholder in your household. If you are part of a household that has received only one copy of this Joint Proxy Statement or the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, your Fund will deliver promptly a separate copy of this Joint Proxy Statement or the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to you upon request. To receive a separate copy of this Joint Proxy Statement or the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, please contact your Fund by calling toll free 1-800-621-2550 (for institutional shareholders) or 1-800-526-7384 (for retail shareholders) or by mail at such Fund, c/o Goldman Sachs Funds, Attention: Shareholder Services Media Support, 71 South Wacker Drive, Suite 1200 Chicago, IL 60606. If your shares are held with certain banks, trust companies, brokers, dealers, investment advisers and other financial intermediaries (each, an “Authorized Institution”) and you would like to receive a separate copy of future proxy statements, prospectuses or annual reports or you are now receiving multiple copies of these documents and would like to receive a single copy in the future, please contact your Authorized Institution.

    Kathryn A. Cassidy
    John G. Chou
    Joaquin Delgado
    Eileen H. Dowling
    Paul C. Wirth

Nominees to the Board of the GS Variable Insurance Trust

The Board of each of the GS Trust and GS VIT is currently composed of eight Trustees: Gregory G. Weaver, Dwight L. Bush, Kathryn A. Cassidy, John G. Chou, Joaquin Delgado, Eileen H. Dowling, Paul C. Wirth and James A. McNamara. The Board of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II is currently composed of seven Trustees: Cheryl K. Beebe, Lawrence Hughes, John F. Killian, Steven D. Krichmar, Michael Latham, Lawrence W. Stranghoener and James A. McNamara.

 

6


Each Nominee would not be deemed to be an “interested person,” as that term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund, GS Trust, GS Trust II and GS VIT.

If elected, the applicable Nominees would hold office with respect for an indefinite term, until the earliest of: (a) the election of his or her successor; (b) the date the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Board or shareholders, in accordance with the applicable Declaration of Trust; (c) the termination of the Funds; or (d) his or her retirement (whether pursuant to the applicable retirement policy or otherwise).

These policies may be changed by the Trustees without shareholder approval. The Boards would also be able to fill future vacancies by appointment (subject to the requirement of the 1940 Act that, after such appointment, at least two-thirds of the Trustees holding office must have been elected by shareholders) without incurring the additional expense associated with calling one or more shareholder meetings to fill those vacancies.

Following discussions with GSAM and meetings of the Boards, each Governance and Nominating Committee considered each applicable Nominee (except with respect to Nominees who were appointed and currently serve on the Boards of GS Trust and GS VIT), including his or her qualifications and experience, and selected and recommended, and each Board unanimously nominated, the applicable Nominees for election by shareholders as Trustees of the applicable Boards. The Boards also increased their respective sizes to accommodate the applicable Nominees.

Explanation of the Board Alignment and Consolidation

The Board of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II currently consists of the same six Independent Trustees (i.e., Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the applicable Funds, as defined in the 1940 Act) as well as Mr. McNamara, an Interested Trustee. The Board of each of the GS Trust and GS VIT also currently consists of the same seven Independent Trustees as well as James A. McNamara, an Interested Trustee. In order to bring the memberships of the Boards into alignment, (i) the GST/GS VIT Independent Trustees have been nominated for election to the Board of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II; and (ii) the ETF/ETFII/RE/GSTII Independent Trustees have been nominated for election to the Board of each of the GS Trust and GS VIT. In addition, three current Independent Trustees of the GS Trust and GS VIT (Mr. Chou, Ms. Dowling and Mr. Wirth), who were previously appointed by other Independent Trustees to the Board rather than elected by shareholders, have been nominated for election to continue to serve as Trustees on the Board.

As further explained below, the election of all of the Nominees will bring the membership of the Boards into alignment. This alignment and consolidation would provide the opportunity to enhance the effectiveness of board oversight and result in other potential benefits as described in the accompanying Joint Proxy Statement.

The Boards separately determined that it is in the best interests of the Fund(s) under their respective oversight to align and consolidate the membership of the Boards so that all of the Funds are overseen by the same Trustees.

Summary of the Reasons for the Board Alignment and Consolidation

The Proposal is the result of an effort on the part of the Boards and GSAM to align and consolidate the membership of the Boards so that the same Trustees serve on each board for the Funds, in order to further enhance the effectiveness of board oversight. The Trustees met with GSAM representatives and communicated with each other to consider and develop the Proposal to align and consolidate the membership of the Boards. The Independent Trustees also met with their independent legal counsel to consider and discuss matters relating to the alignment and consolidation of the Boards.

In reaching the conclusion that the approval of the Proposal is in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders, the Boards took into account the recommendation of GSAM, and considered a number of factors, including the following:

 

that each Fund would benefit from the additional experience, insights and oversight from the election of the Nominees that are not currently members of its Board;

 

that each of the Nominees has significant professional experience and skills, as well as experience overseeing investment companies;

 

that a single, consolidated Board would reduce GSAM’s administrative and operational efforts in supporting multiple Boards and enable GSAM to focus greater resources and time on providing services to the Funds;

 

that a single, consolidated Board with increased skill sets, backgrounds and depth of experience with all types of funds within the Goldman Sachs registered fund complex would be better positioned to respond to the increasing complexities of the registered fund business;

 

that GSAM has agreed to bear a portion of the costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation (up to $2,100,000). Each Fund will be allocated its respective share of the remaining costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation, with fixed costs allocated to the Funds equally and certain variable costs (e.g., costs of printing and mailing) allocated to the Funds on a pro rata basis based on the number of shareholders of each Fund. In addition, for Funds subject to an expense reimbursement arrangement, GSAM will reimburse the costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation to the extent needed to ensure that no Fund’s allocated costs would increase such Fund’s total expense ratio by more than 0.004%. In no event will the allocated costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation increase a Fund’s total expense ratio by more than 0.004%;

 

that a single, consolidated Board would facilitate succession planning efforts of the Boards and alleviate the costs of identifying and onboarding new Board members in the future, who may have potentially less experience overseeing funds, including those managed by GSAM; and

 

that a single governance platform would reduce the costs and complexity of potential Fund conversions and reorganizations within the Goldman Sachs registered fund complex overseen by the Boards.

Information concerning the Nominees and other relevant factors is provided below. Using the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form or voting by the Internet or by telephone, a shareholder may authorize proxies to vote his or her shares for the Nominees or may withhold from the proxies authority to vote his or her shares for one or more of the Nominees. If the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form is properly executed and received prior to the Meeting (and has not been revoked) but no instructions are marked, the proxies will vote “FOR” the Nominees. Each of the Nominees has consented to his or her nomination and has agreed to serve if elected. If, at the time of the Meeting, for any reason, any Nominee is not available for election or able to serve as a Trustee, the proxies will exercise their voting power in favor of such substitute Nominee, if any, as the Trustees may designate. The Funds have no reason to believe that it will be necessary to designate a substitute Nominee. Each Fund proposes the election by all of its respective shareholders of the Nominees named in the table below to serve as members of its Board.

Information Regarding the Nominees

The following table lists the Nominees and Trustees, their ages, current position(s) held with the Funds length of time served, principal occupations during the past five years, number of funds currently overseen within the Goldman Sachs Fund Complex and other directorships held by the Nominees and Trustees during the past five years, as of September 5, 2023.

Additional Information about the Boards and the Nominees

The Boards’ Leadership Structure

The business and affairs of the Funds are managed under the direction of the respective Boards, subject to the laws of the State of Delaware and the applicable Declaration of Trust. Each Board is responsible for deciding matters of overall policy and reviewing the actions of the applicable Funds’ service providers. The officers of the Funds conduct and supervise the Funds’ daily business operations. Trustees who are not deemed to be “interested persons” of the Fund(s) under their oversight as defined in the 1940 Act are referred to as “Independent Trustees.” Trustees who are deemed to be “interested persons” of the Fund(s) under their oversight are referred to as “Interested Trustees.” The Board of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II is currently composed of six Independent Trustees and one Interested Trustee. The Board of each of the GS Trust and GS VIT is currently composed of seven Independent Trustees and one Interested Trustee. Each Board has selected an Independent Trustee to act as Chair, whose duties include presiding at meetings of the Board and acting as a focal point to address significant issues that may arise between regularly scheduled Board and Committee meetings. In the performance of the Chair’s duties, the Chair will consult with the other Independent Trustees and the Funds’ officers and legal counsel, as appropriate. The Chair may perform other functions as requested by his or her Boards from time to time.

The Boards meet as often as necessary to discharge their responsibilities. Currently, the Board of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II conducts regular meetings at least five times a year and the Board of each of the GS Trust and GS VIT conducts regular meetings at least six times a year, and each Board holds special meetings as necessary to address specific issues that require attention prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting. In addition, the Independent Trustees of each Board meet at least annually to review, among other things, investment management agreements and sub-advisory agreements, as applicable, distribution and/or service plans and related agreements, transfer agency agreements and certain other agreements providing for the compensation of Goldman Sachs and/or its affiliates by the Fund(s) under their oversight, and to consider such other matters as they deem appropriate.

The Board of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II has established five standing committees – Audit, Governance and Nominating, Compliance, Board Valuation and Contract Review Committees. The Board of each of the GS Trust and GS VIT has established four standing committees – Audit, Governance and Nominating, Compliance and Risk Oversight and Contract Review Committees. Each Board may establish other committees, or nominate one or more Trustees to examine particular issues related to such Board’s oversight responsibilities, from time to time. Each Committee meets periodically to perform its delegated oversight functions and reports its findings and recommendations to its Board.

The Trustees of each Board have determined that the leadership structure of their Board is appropriate because it allows the Trustees to effectively perform their oversight responsibilities.

Standing Board Committees

Audit Committee

Each Audit Committee oversees the audit process and provides assistance to its Board with respect to fund accounting, tax compliance and financial statement matters. In performing its responsibilities, each Audit Committee selects and recommends annually to its Board an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the books and records of the Fund(s) under its oversight for the ensuing year, and reviews with the firm the scope and results of each audit. All of the Independent Trustees of each Board serve on the Audit Committee of such Board. Mr. Latham serves as Chair of the Audit Committee and the “audit committee financial expert” of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II and Ms. Cassidy serves as Chair of the Audit Committee and the “audit committee financial expert” of each of the GS Trust and GS VIT.

All of the Independent Trustees of each Board serve on the Governance and Nominating Committee of such Board. As stated above, each Trustee holds office for an indefinite term until the occurrence of certain events. In filling Board vacancies, each Governance and Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders. Nominee recommendations should be submitted to the Funds, as applicable, at its mailing address stated in the Funds’ Prospectuses and should be directed to the attention of the Governance and Nominating Committee.

In addition, the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee provides assistance to its full Board with respect to compliance matters. All of the Independent Trustees of each Board of the GS Trust and GS VIT serve on the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee of such Board.

Board Valuation Committee (GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II)

The Board Valuation Committee of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II has been established for the purpose of reviewing valuation matters requiring prompt notification from the valuation designee in accordance with the valuation procedures approved by the Trustees. The Board Valuation Committee does not have regular, standing meetings.

Contract Review Committee

Each Contract Review Committee has been established for the purpose of overseeing the processes of its Board for reviewing and monitoring performance under the investment management and sub-advisory (as applicable), distribution, transfer agency, and certain other agreements with the investment Adviser of the Fund(s) under its oversight and its affiliates. Each Contract Review Committee is also responsible for overseeing its Board’s processes for considering and reviewing performance under the operation of the distribution, service, shareholder administration and other plans of the Fund(s) under its oversight, and any agreements related to the plans, whether or not such plans and agreements are adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Contract Review Committee also provides appropriate assistance to its Board in connection with the Board’s approval, oversight and review of the other service providers including, without limitation, the sub-advisers (as applicable), custodian/fund accounting agent, sub-transfer agents, securities lending agents (as applicable), professional (legal and accounting) firms and printing firms of the Fund(s) under its oversight. All of the Independent Trustees of each Board serve on the Contract Review Committee of such Board.

Risk Oversight

Each Board is responsible for the oversight of the activities of the Fund(s), including oversight of risk management. Day-to-day risk management with respect to the Funds is the responsibility of GSAM or other service providers including sub-advisers (depending on the nature of the risk), subject to supervision by GSAM. The risks of the Funds include, but are not limited to, liquidity risk, investment risk, derivatives risk, compliance risk, manager selection risk, operational risk, reputational risk, credit risk and counterparty risk. Each of GSAM and the other service providers, including sub-advisers, have their own independent interest in risk management and their policies and methods of risk management may differ from the Funds and each other’s in the setting of priorities, the resources available or the effectiveness of relevant controls. As a result, the Boards recognize that it is not possible to identify all of the risks that may affect the Funds or to develop processes and controls to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects, and that some risks are simply beyond the control of the Funds or GSAM, their respective affiliates or other service providers, including sub-advisers.

Each Board effectuates its oversight role primarily through regular and special meetings of the Board and Board committees. In certain cases, risk management issues are specifically addressed in reports, presentations and discussions. For example, on an annual basis, GSAM (or personnel from GSAM) will provide the Boards with written reports that address the operation, adequacy and effectiveness of each Fund’s liquidity risk management and derivatives risk management programs, which are generally designed to assess and manage liquidity risk, and for Full Compliance Funds (as defined in Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act), derivatives risk. In addition, investment risk is discussed in the context of regular presentations to each Board on Fund strategy and performance. Other types of risk are addressed as part of presentations on related topics (e.g., compliance policies) or in the context of presentations focused specifically on one or more risks. The Boards also receive reports from GSAM management on operational risks, reputational risks and counterparty risks relating to the Funds.

Board oversight of risk management is also performed by various Board committees. For example, the Audit Committees meet with both the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm and GSAM’s internal audit group to review risk controls in place that support the Funds as well as test results, and the Compliance Committees meets with the CCO and representatives of GSAM’s compliance group to review testing results of the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures and other compliance issues. Board oversight of risk is also performed as needed between meetings through communications between the GSAM and each Board. Each Board may, at any time and in its discretion, change the manner in which it conducts risk oversight. Each Board’s oversight role does not make the Board a guarantor of the investments or activities.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds

The Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policies adopted by the Audit Committees of the Boards (the “Policies”) set forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services performed by an independent auditor for the Funds may be pre-approved. Services may be pre-approved specifically by an Audit Committee as a whole or, in certain circumstances, by its Audit Committee Chair or the person designated as the

 

38


audit committee financial expert. In addition, subject to specified cost limitations, certain services may be pre-approved under the provisions of the applicable Policy. Each Policy provides that the applicable Audit Committee will consider whether the services provided by an independent auditor are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. Each Policy provides for periodic review and pre-approval by the applicable Audit Committee of the services that may be provided by the independent auditor.

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

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

Each Audit Committee did not approve any of the audit-related, tax, or other non-audit fees described above pursuant to the “de minimis exceptions” set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X during the Funds’ two most recent applicable fiscal years. Each Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services rendered to GSAM and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with GSAM that provides ongoing services to the Fund(s) under its oversight that were not pre-approved by such Audit Committee pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s independence.

Required Vote

Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share held and a fractional vote proportionate to fractional shares held as of the Record Date.

For each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund, GS Trust, GS Trust II and GS VIT, the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders owning shares representing one-third (1/3) or more of the total combined shares entitled to vote at the Meeting shall constitute a quorum at the Meeting.

For each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund, GS Trust, GS Trust II and GS VIT, when a quorum is present, a plurality of the shares voted shall elect a Nominee as Trustee.

Cumulative voting is not permitted. If a proxy card is properly executed and returned accompanied by instructions to withhold authority, the shares represented thereby will be considered to be present at the Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum, but will not be counted in favor of the Proposal.

For each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, GS Trust, GS Trust II and GS VIT, the Proposal applies on a Trust-wide basis, and all series (i.e., the respective Funds) and classes thereof will vote together on the Proposal. However, the vote on the Proposal or the election of a Nominee by the shareholders of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund, GS Trust, GS Trust II and GS VIT will not affect the Proposal or the election of a Nominee with respect to the other Funds. If elected by shareholders, the Nominees would begin serving as Trustees of the applicable Board on January 1, 2024.

 

39


With respect to GS VIT, Life Companies that use shares of a Fund as funding media for its variable contracts will vote shares of the Fund held by its Accounts in accordance with the instructions received from variable contract holders. The Life Companies will also vote shares attributable to variable contracts as to which proxy cards or voting instruction forms are neither executed nor returned in proportion (“for” or “withhold authority”) to those shares for which instructions are received, even in instances where a broker would be prevented from exercising discretion. As a result, a small number of variable contract holders could determine the outcome of the vote if other variable contract holders fail to vote. A Life Company whose separate account invests in a Fund will vote shares held by its general account and its subsidiaries in the same proportion as other votes cast by its Accounts in the aggregate.

Brokers who hold shares in street name for customers have discretionary authority to vote on “routine” proposals, such as the election of Trustees, when they have not received instructions from the beneficial owners of those shares. Abstentions will be treated as shares that are present, and thereby included for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting, but will not be treated as a vote cast.

If at the time the Meeting is called to order a quorum is not present in person or by proxy, or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes in favor of the Proposal have not been received, the Meeting may be adjourned to a later date by the chair of the meeting, or by a vote of shareholders. In the event of a shareholder vote on adjournment, any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of a Trust or a Fund present in person or by proxy at the session of the Meeting to be adjourned. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote in favor of the Proposal in favor of such an adjournment, and will vote those proxies required to be voted against the Proposal against any such adjournment. Abstentions effectively will be a vote “against” adjournment. Subject to the foregoing, the Meeting may be adjourned and re-adjourned without further notice to shareholders. However, if, after adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to Shareholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting.

If the Nominees are not elected, the Trustees will continue to oversee their respective Funds.

The Boards’ Recommendation

EACH BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND(S) UNDER ITS OVERIGHT VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL (ELECTION OF EACH NOMINEE)

 

40


OTHER BUSINESS

As of the date of this Joint Proxy Statement, the Trustees knew of no matter to be presented at the Meeting other than as set forth in this Joint Proxy Statement. If other business should properly come before the Meeting, proxies will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the accompanying proxy.

 

41


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX A

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund, and Goldman Sachs Trust II Audit Committee Charter

Organization and Purpose

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of each of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II, Goldman Sachs MLP and Energy Renaissance Fund, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Trust II (the “Fund”) has established an Audit Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of each of the Funds’ Independent Trustees. Independent Trustees are those Trustees who meet the independence standards set forth in the Funds’ Governance and Nominating Committee Charters and (with respect to Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II, and Goldman Sachs MLP and Energy Renaissance Fund) Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iii)1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and other applicable listing exchange rules, and who do not receive, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Funds except compensation for service as a member of the Board or a committee of the Board.

The Committee has been established by and among the Trustees for the purpose of, among other things as set forth below, assisting the Board with oversight of (1) the integrity of the Funds’ financial statements, (2) the Funds’ compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, (4) the performance of the Funds’ internal audit function and independent auditor, and (5) (with respect to Goldman Sachs MLP and Energy Renaissance Fund) preparation of the Audit Committee report required to be included in the Fund’s proxy statement.

With respect to Goldman Sachs MLP and Energy Renaissance Fund, each member of the Committee must be financially literate, or become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the Committee, as such qualification is interpreted by the Funds’ Board in its business judgment. The Committee’s composition shall meet such other regulatory requirements relating to audit committees established from time to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and any other applicable governmental entity or self-regulatory organization or law to which the Funds are subject. The Board, with the assistance of the Committee, shall determine whether any member of the Committee is an “audit committee financial expert” (“ACFE”)2 as defined by the applicable regulations of the SEC, and the Board may presume that the ACFE satisfies the financial literacy requirement. The Committee will select one of its members to be its chair. With respect to Goldman Sachs MLP and Energy Renaissance Fund, if a member simultaneously serves on the audit committees of more than three public companies, the Board must determine that such simultaneous service will not impair the ability of such member to effectively serve on the Committee, and must disclose such determination either on or through the Fund’s website, in its annual proxy statement, or in the Fund’s annual report.3

 

1 

In order to be considered to be independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3(b)(i), a member of an audit committee of a listed issuer that is an investment company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of trustees, or any other board committee:

   

Accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the issuer or any subsidiary thereof, provided that, unless the rules of the national securities exchange or national securities association provide otherwise, compensatory fees do not include the receipt of fixed amounts of compensation under a retirement plan (including deferred compensation) for prior service with the listed issuer (provided that such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service); or

   

Be an “interested person” of the issuer as defined in section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

2 

The Board or the Committee will report its determination to Management so that appropriate disclosure can be included in each Fund’s annual report consistent with Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

3 

For purposes of this requirement, where a Trustee serves on multiple boards in the same fund complex, such service will be counted as one board.

 

A-1


The Committee will set its agenda and the places and times of its meetings. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Committee shall act by a vote of a majority of the Committee members at a Committee meeting, including a meeting held by conference telephone, teleconference or other electronic media or communication equipment, or by written consent of a majority of the Committee members without a meeting. Any written consent or waiver may be provided and delivered to the Committee chair by e-mail, facsimile or other similar electronic mechanism.

Statement of Policy

The Committee shall oversee the audit process and provide assistance to the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in overseeing financial reporting. The Committee will also assist the Board with the oversight of the Funds’ compliance with regulatory requirements that relate to the fund accounting and financial reporting, internal control over financial reporting and independent audits. In so doing, the Committee will endeavor to facilitate free and open means of communication among the Funds’ Trustees, independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent auditor”), and management. A primary objective of the Committee is to help set the “tone at the top” for quality financial reporting and a sound system of internal controls over financial reporting. The Committee will regularly report its activities, observations, and recommendations to the Board. The Committee’s activities and effectiveness will be assessed periodically and reviewed with the Board.

Summary of Responsibilities

The function of the Committee is oversight. Management of the Funds (“Management”) is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Funds’ financial statements. Management draws upon different parts of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“Goldman Sachs”) corporate structure in fulfilling this role — the Fund Controllers department (within the Finance Division) and the Operations Division (working in conjunction with GSAM Global Fund Services) are responsible for applying appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and maintaining policies and internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and applicable laws and regulations. In fulfilling its role under this Charter, Management also delegates certain functions to the Funds’ accounting and tax agents, but remains responsible for those functions. The independent auditor for the Funds is responsible for planning and executing audits consistent with applicable professional standards and in accordance with the terms of the engagement letter(s). The independent auditor will report directly to the Committee. The Committee shall provide for appropriate funding for the payment of compensation to the independent auditor, any other counsel or advisors engaged by the Committee at its discretion, and the ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee as necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.

The Committee performs its functions under this Audit Committee Charter on the basis of information provided or representations made to it by the Funds’ independent auditor, Management, and/or other service providers, and/or by legal counsel and/or other experts or consultants. Nothing in this Charter is intended to impose, or should be interpreted as imposing, on any member of the Committee (including any member designated as an ACFE) any additional duties or responsibilities over and above those placed on the member in his or her capacity as a Board member of the Funds under applicable federal and state law.

Subject to regulatory mandates, the policies and procedures of the Committee should remain flexible in order to react to changing conditions and to assist the Committee in providing assurance to the Board and shareholders that the Funds’ accounting and reporting practices are in accordance with applicable requirements.

 

A-2


The following are the duties and responsibilities of the Committee:

Primarily Related to the Independent Auditor

 

  1.

Evaluate and select (subject to ratification by the Board) the Funds’ independent auditor.

 

  2.

Participate in the selection process and approve the new lead audit partner(s).

 

  3.

Be responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the independent auditor engaged (including resolution of disagreements between Management and the auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of rendering or issuing an audit report or performing other audit or attest services for the Funds.

 

  4.

At least annually, obtain and review a report by the independent auditor describing the auditor’s internal quality-control procedures, as well as any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review or peer review of the auditor, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, including the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), within the preceding five years, with respect to one or more independent audits carried out by the auditor, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues.

 

  5.

Review and approve the compensation of any advisers employed by the Committee as described herein.

 

  6.

Evaluate the qualifications, performance and independence (including the process to remain independent) of the auditor in light of the report identified in Item 3 above and its work throughout the year, as well as the auditor’s lead partner, and request an annual representation from the independent auditor regarding its independence under applicable professional and regulatory standards. As part of its evaluation of the independence of the auditor, the Committee may inquire into and consider the opinions of Management and Internal Audit (or other personnel responsible for the internal audit function), and may consider such items as: (1) the audit and non-audit services performed by the auditor and related fees; (2) the hiring of partners or employees or former partners or employees of the auditor by the Funds and its affiliates; (3) whether any non-audit services provided by the auditor to the Funds’ investment adviser(s) or any adviser affiliate that provides ongoing services to the Funds are compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence; (4) the rotation of the auditor’s partners who participate in providing auditing services to the Funds and (5) other relationships, if any, between the Funds and the auditor that may bear on the independence or objectivity of the auditor.

 

  7.

With respect to Goldman Sachs MLP and Energy Renaissance Fund, set policies governing the hiring by entities within the Funds’ Investment Company Complex4 of any current or former employee of the Funds’ independent auditor, and to assess compliance with these policies. These policies provide, among other things, that no former employee of the independent auditor who was a member of the Funds’ audit engagement team may undertake any financial reporting role at the Funds within one year of the date of the commencement of procedures for a review or audit.

 

4 

“Investment company complex” includes:

   

the Funds and their investment adviser or sponsor;

   

any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser or sponsor, if the entity: (i) is an investment adviser or sponsor; or (ii) is engaged in the business of providing administrative, custodian, underwriting or transfer agent services to any investment company, investment adviser or sponsor; and

   

any investment company, hedge fund or unregistered fund that has an investment adviser included in the definition set forth in either of the two bullet points above.

  9.

Meet, periodically (or more frequently if circumstances dictate), with Management and with the independent auditor and at least annually with the independent auditor (or more frequently if circumstances dictate) alone and outside the presence of Management personnel in executive session, to discuss any problems or difficulties the independent auditor encountered in the course of the audit work, including any restrictions on the scope of the independent auditor’s activities or access to requested information and any significant disagreements with Management, as well as any other matters that individually or in the aggregate could be significant to the Funds’ financial statements, the effectiveness of internal controls, including internal controls over financial reporting and the audit report(s) of the independent auditor, whether or not satisfactorily resolved, and Management’s response.

 

  10.

With respect to Goldman Sachs MLP and Energy Renaissance Fund, review and discuss with Management and the Fund’s independent auditor the Fund’s audited annual financial statements, including the Fund’s disclosure of management’s discussion of Fund performance and the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives, as well as off-balance sheet structures, on the financial statements of the Fund. Review and discuss with Management the Fund’s unaudited semi-annual financial statements, including the Fund’s disclosure of management’s discussion of Fund performance.

 

  11.

With respect to Goldman Sachs MLP and Energy Renaissance Fund, oversee the preparation of the Audit Committee report required to be included in the Fund’s proxy statement for its annual meeting of shareholders (if such meeting is required by law). The report shall indicate whether the Committee has (i) reviewed and discussed the financial statements with Management; (ii) discussed with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed by the PCAOB Standard No. 16, as modified or supplemented; and (iii) received written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditor required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526 regarding the independent auditor’s communications with the Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent auditor the auditor’s independence. The Committee’s report should also indicate whether the Committee, based on its review and its discussions with Management and the independent auditor, recommends to the Board that the financial statements be included in the Fund’s annual report for the last fiscal year.

 

  12.

Review and discuss with Management and the Funds’ independent auditor any major issues regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentations, including any significant changes in the Funds’ selection or application of accounting principles, and major issues as to the adequacy of the Funds’ internal controls over financial reporting and any special audit steps adopted in light of material control deficiencies.

 

  13.

With respect to Goldman Sachs MLP and Energy Renaissance Fund, consider and, if appropriate, recommend to the Board the publication of the Fund’s annual audited financial statements in the Fund’s annual report in advance of the printing and publication of the annual report, based on its review and discussions of such annual report with the independent auditor and Management.

 

  14.

Meet (as circumstances dictate) with any certified public accountant and audit firm rendering reports to the Committee or the Board.

 

  15.

Receive from the Funds’ independent auditor timely communications discussing any matters of concern relating to the Funds’ financial statements, including any adjustments to such statements recommended by the auditor, or other results of said audit(s), including matters required to be discussed under the PCAOB Standard No. 16.

 

A-4


  16.

Review with financial and accounting personnel and the independent auditor the quality, not just the acceptability, of accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or proposed to be used by the Funds.

 

  17.

Reviewing periodically the investments made by the Trustees in the Funds pursuant to the policies set forth in the Trustee Charter.

 

  11.

Selecting and nominating candidates for election or appointment as non-interested members of the Board and the retention of such members, as discussed below.

 

B-10


In carrying out its responsibilities under this Charter, the policies and procedures of the Committee should remain flexible in order to best react to changing conditions and to provide assurance to the full Board and shareholders that the Funds’ governance practices are in accordance with applicable requirements and are of the highest quality.

The Committee performs its functions under this Governance and Nominating Committee Charter (the “Charter”) on the basis of information or advice provided or representations made to it by the management of the Funds, or by service providers, or by legal counsel or other experts or consultants, without independent verification. Nothing in this Charter is intended to impose, or should be interpreted as imposing, on any member of the Committee any additional duties or responsibilities over and above those placed on the member in his or her capacity as a Trustee of the Funds under applicable federal and state law.

Selection, Nomination and Retention of Independent Trustees

The Committee will be responsible for the selection and nomination of the candidates for election or appointment as Independent Trustees of the Funds. In connection with the selection and nomination of candidates to the Board, the Committee will evaluate the qualifications of candidates for Board membership and their independence from each Fund’s respective investment adviser, principal underwriter(s), and other principal service providers. Persons selected must be independent under the provisions of the 1940 Act. The Committee will also consider the effect of any relationships beyond those delineated in the 1940 Act that might impair independence (for example, business, financial or family relationships with the investment adviser or other service providers). Candidates should have the capacity to address financial and legal issues and to exercise reasonable business judgment. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee will also consider, among other criteria, a candidate’s:

 

  (a)

experience in business, financial or investment matters or in other fields of endeavor;

 

  (b)

reputation;

 

  (c)

ability to attend scheduled Board and Committee meetings;

 

  (d)

general availability to attend to Board business on short notice;

 

  (e)

actual or potential business, family or other conflicts bearing on either the candidate’s independence or the business of the Funds;

 

  (f)

length of potential service;

 

  (g)

commitment to the representation of the interests of the Funds and their shareholders;

 

  (h)

commitment to maintaining and improving Trustee skills and education; and

 

  (i)

experience in corporate governance and best business practices.

The Committee will also consider the diversity of the Board’s composition as part of the selection and nomination process.

In considering the selection and nomination of Independent Trustee candidates, it is expected that the Committee will consult with the interested Trustees and Officers of the Funds and such other persons as the Committee deems appropriate.

In addition, the Committee shall work to retain high performing Independent Trustees, once elected or appointed as the case may be.

While the Committee is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of the Funds’ Trustees, the Committee shall review and consider nominations for the office of Trustee made by management and by Trust shareholders who have sent nominations (which includes the biographical information and qualifications of the proposed nominee) to the Secretary of the Funds, as the Trustees deem appropriate.

 

B-11


Additional Matters

 

  12.

The Committee will meet at such times as it deems appropriate. The Committee will set its agenda and the places of its meetings. The Committee may meet alone and outside the presence of management personnel.

 

  13.

The Committee will submit the minutes of all of its meetings to, or discuss the matters discussed at each Committee meeting with, the full Board.

 

  14.

The Committee may delegate any portion of its authority to a subcommittee of one or more members. Any decision of the subcommittee shall be presented to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

 

  15.

The Committee is authorized to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties, and is authorized to meet with the compliance personnel of management as the Committee deems appropriate in connection with the performance of its responsibilities.

 

  16.

The Committee is authorized to engage independent counsel and other advisers as it deems necessary to carry out its duties.

 

  17.

The Committee shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of compensation to any advisers employed by the Committee as described above.

 

  18.

Except as otherwise provided by the Board or required by applicable law, the Committee shall act by a vote of a majority of the Committee members at a Committee meeting, including a meeting held by conference telephone, teleconference or other electronic media or communication equipment, or by written consent of all of the Committee members without a meeting. Any written consent or waiver may be provided and delivered to the Committee chair by e-mail, facsimile or other similar electronic mechanism.

 

  19.

The Committee will periodically review the provisions of this Governance and Nominating Committee Charter.
