MARKET AND ECONOMIC REVIEW

 

Fundamental Equity Growth Funds

The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the U.S. equity market and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Growth Funds (the “Funds”) during the six months ended February 29, 2024 (the “Reporting Period”). Attribution highlights are provided for those Funds that materially outperformed or underperformed their respective benchmark during the Reporting Period. A streamlined annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended August 31, 2024 will be provided to the Funds’ shareholders, per new SEC requirements with a compliance date of July 24, 2024.

Market and Economic Review

 

  Overall, U.S. equities rose during the Reporting Period. The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500® Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a return of 13.93%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of 13.76%.

 

  Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and persistent volatility, the market posted solid returns during the Reporting Period amid a backdrop of shifting expectations around the Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) policy path forward and generally broadening market leadership.

 

  The Reporting Period began in September 2023 with a sharp pullback.

 

    Although economic activity remained resilient, the S&P 500® Index declined mostly due to a pickup in soft landing concerns, surging energy prices and disinflationary pressures on corporate earnings. (A soft landing, in economics, is a cyclical downturn that avoids recession. It typically describes attempts by central banks to raise interest rates just enough to stop an economy from overheating and experiencing high inflation, without causing a significant increase in unemployment, or a hard landing.)

 

    Concerns about a looming threat of a federal government shutdown, consumer impacts from student loan repayments resuming, and a strike against automakers by the United Auto Workers union that began in September further weighed on investor sentiment.

 

    The Fed acted in line with consensus forecasts, keeping interest rates unchanged at 5.25%-5.50% in September. However, the Fed’s “higher for longer” narrative appeared to gain further recognition from investors.

 

  During the fourth quarter of 2023, the S&P 500® Index enjoyed a double-digit gain, finishing the calendar year with the best fourth quarter since 2003.

 

    The quarter saw a broadening of market leadership following the mega-cap dominance for most of 2023.

 

    U.S. equity markets began the quarter with negative momentum, as investors digested a more resilient than consensus expected U.S. economy and a “higher for longer” Fed interest rate regime.

 

    The market then shifted direction in November.

 

    November saw the most significant easing in financial conditions of any month in more than four decades.

 

    Market sentiment took a positive turn on the back of an overall shift in tonality from Fed officials signaling potential easing of monetary policy in 2024, a gradual cooldown in economic activity while the labor market remained resilient, and a rally across U.S. Treasuries marking one of the best monthly performances on record—all underpinning soft landing and disinflation traction themes.

 

    The Fed held interest rates unchanged throughout the quarter, as growth of the U.S. economy slowed, the unemployment rate remained low despite abating job gains, and inflationary pressures continued to trend downwards.

 

    Near the end of the quarter, there was a major shift in the Fed’s policy path expectations, with the Summary of Economic Projections median dot plot signaling 75 basis points of rate cuts in 2024. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point. The Fed’s dot plot shows the interest rate projections of the members of the Federal Open Market Committee.)

 

    U.S. economic data provided further evidence of disinflation momentum, with November’s annualized core Consumer Price Index dropping to its lowest level since September 2021 and core Personal Consumption Expenditure Index increasing 1.9% on a six-month annualized basis, measuring below the Fed’s inflation target of 2% for the first time in more than three years.

MARKET AND ECONOMIC REVIEW

 

    Market seasonality proved to be another tailwind to equities during the quarter, as November and December historically represent the strongest two-month period for U.S. stocks.

 

  The S&P 500® Index rose in January 2024, albeit modestly.

 

    Following an especially strong end to 2023, U.S. equity markets began the new calendar year with a more cautionary tone, driven by concerns regarding overvalued conditions and the Fed’s ability to match interest rate cut expectations from investors.

 

    Yields across the U.S. Treasury curve, or spectrum of maturities, steepened, a headwind to equity valuations as traders repriced expectations regarding the path of monetary policy.

 

    The trend of broadened market leadership witnessed in the last months of 2023 reversed course in January, with mega-cap stocks outperforming again.

 

    Despite this defensive start, U.S. equities finished the month mostly higher, with the S&P 500® Index recording new record highs as economic releases and robust labor market data continued to underpin the prevailing soft landing narrative.

 

  In February 2024, the S&P 500® Index notched a new all-time high, rallying for the fourth consecutive month as market leadership broadened from the “Magnificent Seven,” the group of high-performing and influential companies that drove U.S. equity performance for much of 2023.

 

    U.S. Treasury yields were notably higher on the back of resilient macroeconomic data and hawkish sentiment following the Fed’s January meeting, wherein Fed Chair Powell communicated it was not likely the Fed would cut interest rates in March 2024. (Hawkish suggests higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.)

 

    The major headline of the month was the shift in market expectations for the timing of the first interest rate cut, which moved from March to June 2024 even as the broader disinflation theme remained intact.

 

    Economic data remained robust, which helped ease concerns of a hard landing.

 

    Concerns of a temporary U.S. government shutdown were subdued at the end of the month, as policymakers reached a timely temporary funding bill to keep government operations open through March 2024.

 

    Corporate earnings were better than consensus feared, underpinned by both sales and earnings exceeding market forecasts on improved profit margins across most sectors.

 

  During the Reporting Period overall, all capitalization segments within the U.S. equity market posted gains, with large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, performing best, followed by mid-cap stocks and then small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® Index and Russell 2000® Index, respectively. From a style perspective, growth-oriented stocks materially outperformed value-oriented stocks across the capitalization spectrum. (All as measured by the FTSE Russell indices.)

 

  The best performing sectors within the S&P 500® Index during the Reporting Period were information technology, communication services and financials, while the weakest performing sectors were energy, utilities and consumer staples.

Fund Changes and Highlights

Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund

 

  Effective February 16, 2024, the Board of Trustees of the Goldman Sachs Trust (“Board”) approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization which contemplates the reorganization of the Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) with and into the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Core Equity Fund (the “Surviving Fund” and together, the “Funds”).

 

  The reorganization was recommended by the Funds’ investment adviser, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) because it believes that the reorganization: (i) would rationalize Funds that have the same investment objectives and similar investment strategies (albeit with some notable differences); (ii) may provide enhanced opportunities to realize greater efficiencies in the form of lower total operating expenses over time; and (iii) would enable the combined Fund to be better positioned for asset growth.

 

  

 

 

2  


MARKET AND ECONOMIC REVIEW

 

  The reorganization is expected to close on or about April 26, 2024, or on such other date as the parties to the reorganization shall agree.

 

  As of the close of business on February 26, 2024, the Acquired Fund may depart from its stated investment objectives and policies as it prepares to reorganize with and into the Surviving Fund.

 

  After the close of business on March 22, 2024, the Acquired Fund will close to new shareholders. Existing shareholders of the Acquired Fund as of the close of business on March 22, 2024 may continue to purchase shares of, or exchange into, the Acquired Fund. Additionally, existing shareholders of the Acquired Fund as of the close of business on March 22, 2024 may continue to reinvest dividends and distributions, if any.

 

  Between February 16, 2024 and the effective time of the reorganization, the Investment Adviser has agreed to waive the management fees it receives from the Acquired Fund.

Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Fund

 

  Effective after the close of business on February 13, 2024, the Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Fund was renamed the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Core Equity Fund.

 

  This change did not affect the Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategy or current portfolio holdings.

Goldman Sachs Small Cap Growth Fund

 

  Effective February 22, 2024, the Fund’s principal strategy changed such that the Fund now invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) (“Net Assets”) in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in small-cap issuers.

 

    Small-cap issuers are companies with relatively small market capitalizations.

 

    As of December 31, 2023, small-cap issuers generally have public stock market capitalizations between $100 million and $16 billion; however, this capitalization range will change over time and with market conditions.

 

  The Fund may also invest in securities outside of the then-existing small-cap issuer capitalization range at the time of investment.

 

  The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, in companies that are considered by the Investment Adviser to be positioned for long-term growth.

 

  Although the Fund invests primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 25% of its Net Assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in countries with emerging markets or economies (“emerging countries”) and securities quoted in foreign currencies.

 

  The Fund may also invest in privately held companies and companies that only recently began to trade publicly.

Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund

 

  The Fund posted double-digit positive absolute returns that significantly outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2500® Growth Index, during the Reporting Period.

 

  At a macro level, catalysts for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period included high return dispersion, a measure of the range of returns for a group of stocks, as well as strong performance by profitable stocks, which created a favorable backdrop to the Fund’s quality-oriented growth approach.

 

  More specifically, stock selection overall contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, especially in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and industrials sectors. Only partially offsetting these positive contributors was stock selection in the health care and information technology sectors, which detracted.

 

  Sector allocation decisions as a whole added value to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period.

 

    Having an underweighted allocation to energy, which was the weakest sector in the Russell 2500® Growth Index during the Reporting Period, especially boosted relative results.

 

  

 

 

  3


MARKET AND ECONOMIC REVIEW

 

    Having a position in cash, though modest, during a Reporting Period when the Russell 2500® Growth Index rallied, dampened relative results.

 

  From an industry perspective, stock selection in the hotels, restaurants & leisure industry helped most within the consumer discretionary sector. In consumer staples, stock selection in the personal care products and beverages industries proved most beneficial. In industrials, stock selection in the electrical equipment industry was particularly effective.

 

  Among individual holdings, overweight positions in restaurant operator and franchiser Wingstop, data analytics and search company Elastic and cosmetics and skin care products provider e.l.f. Beauty contributed most positively during the Reporting Period. Those individual holdings that detracted most included an underweight position in high performance server and storage solutions developer Super Micro Computer and overweight positions in molecular diagnostics company Exact Sciences and semiconductor manufacturer Allegro MicroSystems.

Goldman Sachs Technology Opportunities Fund

 

  The Fund posted double-digit positive absolute returns that significantly outperformed its benchmark, the NASDAQ Composite Total Return Index, during the Reporting Period.

 

  Stock selection overall contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, especially in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. This was only partially offset by stock selection in the communication services sector, which detracted.

 

  Sector allocation decisions as a whole boosted the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period.

 

    Having an overweighted allocation to information technology relative to the NASDAQ Composite Total Return Index, buoyed results most.

 

    Having an overweighted allocation to real estate, which lagged the NASDAQ Composite Total Return Index during the Reporting Period, dampened results.

 

  Among individual holdings, an underweight position in information technology giant Apple, an overweight position in semiconductor company Advanced Micro Devices and an out-of-benchmark position in customer relationship management cloud-based software company Salesforce contributed most positively during the Reporting Period. Those individual holdings that detracted most included overweight positions in Google parent company Alphabet (Class C) and digital payments platform PayPal Holdings and an out-of-benchmark position in database management company Oracle. We sold the Fund’s position in PayPal Holdings by the end of the Reporting Period.

Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00%, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Service, Investor, Class 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 Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. 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. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. These reclaims, if any, are recorded when the amount is known and there are no significant uncertainties on collectability. Such amounts recovered, if any, are reflected as other income in the Statements of Operations. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may

 

  

 

 

118  


GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain and/or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, and non-class specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees.

D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.

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

The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from 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;

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

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. With respect to the Funds’ investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated GSAM as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Valuation Designee”). GSAM has day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

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

Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities 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 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 the Valuation Procedures and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying 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.

B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under the Valuation Procedures. 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.

C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of February 29, 2024:

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

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

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 applicable, as set forth below.

The Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Distribution Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act.

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.

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

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

E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement.

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 29, 2024, the Funds participated in a $1,110,000,000 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 February 29, 2024, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

6. SECURITIES LENDING

The Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash 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

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS

 

6. SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statements of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (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 Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash 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 Funds’ 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 Funds’ loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of February 29, 2024, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

Each of the Funds and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended February 29, 2024, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

The following table provides information about the Funds’ investments in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended February 29, 2024.

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

 

8. OTHER RISKS

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

 

  

 

 

130  


GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS

 

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the 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.

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

Investment Style Risk — Different investment styles (e.g., “growth”, “value” or “quantitative”) tend to shift in and out of favor depending upon market and economic conditions and investor sentiment. The Fund may outperform or underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes but employ different investment styles. Growth investing is an example of an investment style. Growth companies are often expected by investors to increase their earnings at a certain rate. When these expectations are not met, investors can punish the stocks inordinately even if earnings showed an absolute increase.

Issuer Concentration Risk — Under normal circumstances, the Concentrated Growth Fund and the U.S. Equity ESG Fund intend to invest in up to approximately 40 and 50 companies, respectively. As a result of the relatively small number of issuers in which a Fund generally invests, it may be subject to greater risks than a fund that invests in a greater number of issuers. A change in the value of any single investment held by a Fund may affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect a mutual fund that holds more investments. In particular, a Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer in the Fund and may be susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.

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.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

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, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, 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.

Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Risk — Investments in mid-capitalization and small-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies. These securities may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements and may lack sufficient market liquidity, and these issuers often face greater business risks.

Non-Diversification Risk — The Strategic Growth 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.

 

9. INDEMNIFICATIONS

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

 

10. OTHER MATTERS

Pursuant to an effort to consolidate the membership of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) with the Board of Trustees of each of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Trust II and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, in July 2023, the Board voted to nominate Cheryl K. Beebe, John G. Chou, Eileen H. Dowling, Lawrence Hughes, John F. Killian, Steven D. Krichmar, Michael Latham, Lawrence W. Stranghoener and Paul C. Wirth (the “Nominees”) for election as Trustees of the Trust. Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling were serving as Trustees of the Trust at the time of their nominations. At a virtual special joint meeting of shareholders held on November 16, 2023, each of the Nominees (except Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling) was elected to serve as Trustees alongside the then current Trustees of the Trust, effective January 1, 2024. Each of Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling was also elected at the meeting and continue to serve as Trustees of the Trust.

Effective after the close of business on February 13, 2024, the Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Fund’s name changed to “Goldman Sachs Enhanced Core Equity Fund”.

 

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

At a meeting held on February 13-14, 2024, the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Board”) approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) which contemplates the reorganization of the Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) with and into the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Core Equity Fund (the “Surviving Fund”). After careful

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (continued)

consideration, the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in under the 1940 Act, unanimously approved the Plan and concluded that: (i) the reorganization is in the best interests of each Fund; and (ii) the interests of the shareholders of each Fund will not be diluted as a result of the reorganization. The reorganization is expected to close on or about April 26, 2024, or on such other date as the parties to the reorganization shall agree (“Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, shareholders of each class of shares of the Acquired Fund will receive the corresponding class of the Surviving Fund. The reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for Federal income tax purposes.

All other 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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

 

February 29, 2024

 

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 13-14, 2024, 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, 2023 through December 31, 2023 (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.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 29, 2024 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C, Service and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P 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 September 1, 2023 through February 29, 2024, which represents a period of 182 days in a 366 day year.

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

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

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

MARKET REVIEW

Fundamental Equity Value Funds

 

February 29, 2024

 

The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the U.S. equity market and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Value Funds (the “Funds”) during the six months ended February 29, 2024 (the “Reporting Period”). Attribution highlights are provided for those Funds that materially outperformed or underperformed their respective benchmark during the Reporting Period. A streamlined annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended August 31, 2024 will be provided to the Funds’ shareholders, per new SEC requirements with a compliance date of July 24, 2024.

Market and Economic Review

 

  Overall, U.S. equities rose during the Reporting Period. The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500® Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a return of 13.93%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of 13.76%.

 

  Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and persistent volatility, the market posted solid returns during the Reporting Period amid a backdrop of shifting expectations around the Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) policy path forward and generally broadening market leadership.

 

  The Reporting Period began in September 2023 with a sharp pullback.

 

    Although economic activity remained resilient, the S&P 500® Index declined mostly due to a pickup in soft landing concerns, surging energy prices and disinflationary pressures on corporate earnings. (A soft landing, in economics, is a cyclical downturn that avoids recession. It typically describes attempts by central banks to raise interest rates just enough to stop an economy from overheating and experiencing high inflation, without causing a significant increase in unemployment, or a hard landing.)

 

    Concerns about a looming threat of a federal government shutdown, consumer impacts from student loan repayments resuming, and a strike against automakers by the United Auto Workers union that began in September further weighed on investor sentiment.

 

    The Fed acted in line with consensus forecasts, keeping interest rates unchanged at 5.25%-5.50% in September. However, the Fed’s “higher for longer” narrative appeared to gain further recognition from investors.

 

  During the fourth quarter of 2023, the S&P 500® Index enjoyed a double-digit gain, finishing the calendar year with the best fourth quarter since 2003.

 

    The quarter saw a broadening of market leadership following the mega-cap dominance for most of 2023.

 

    U.S. equity markets began the quarter with negative momentum, as investors digested a more resilient than consensus expected U.S. economy and a “higher for longer” Fed interest rate regime.

 

    The market then shifted direction in November.

 

    November saw the most significant easing in financial conditions of any month in more than four decades.

 

    Market sentiment took a positive turn on the back of an overall shift in tonality from Fed officials signaling potential easing of monetary policy in 2024, a gradual cooldown in economic activity while the labor market remained resilient, and a rally across U.S. Treasuries marking one of the best monthly performances on record—all underpinning soft landing and disinflation traction themes.

 

    The Fed held interest rates unchanged throughout the quarter, as growth of the U.S. economy slowed, the unemployment rate remained low despite abating job gains, and inflationary pressures continued to trend downwards.

 

    Near the end of the quarter, there was a major shift in the Fed’s policy path expectations, with the Summary of Economic Projections median dot plot signaling 75 basis points of rate cuts in 2024. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point. The Fed’s dot plot shows the interest rate projections of the members of the Federal Open Market Committee.)

 

    U.S. economic data provided further evidence of disinflation momentum, with November’s annualized core Consumer Price Index dropping to its lowest level since September 2021 and core Personal Consumption Expenditure Index increasing 1.9% on a six-month annualized basis, measuring below the Fed’s inflation target of 2% for the first time in more than three years.

MARKET REVIEW

 

    Market seasonality proved to be another tailwind to equities during the quarter, as November and December historically represent the strongest two-month period for U.S. stocks.

 

  The S&P 500® Index rose in January 2024, albeit modestly.

 

    Following an especially strong end to 2023, U.S. equity markets began the new calendar year with a more cautionary tone, driven by concerns regarding overvalued conditions and the Fed’s ability to match interest rate cut expectations from investors.

 

    Yields across the U.S. Treasury curve, or spectrum of maturities, steepened, a headwind to equity valuations as traders repriced expectations regarding the path of monetary policy.

 

    The trend of broadened market leadership witnessed in the last months of 2023 reversed course in January, with mega-cap stocks outperforming again.

 

    Despite this defensive start, U.S. equities finished the month mostly higher, with the S&P 500® Index recording new record highs as economic releases and robust labor market data continued to underpin the prevailing soft landing narrative.

 

  In February 2024, the S&P 500® Index notched a new all-time high, rallying for the fourth consecutive month as market leadership broadened from the “Magnificent Seven.”

 

    U.S. Treasury yields were notably higher on the back of resilient macroeconomic data and hawkish sentiment following the Fed’s January meeting, wherein Fed Chair Powell communicated it was not likely the Fed would cut interest rates in March 2024. (Hawkish suggests higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.)

 

    The major headline of the month was the shift in market expectations for the timing of the first interest rate cut, which moved from March to June 2024 even as the broader disinflation theme remained intact.

 

    Economic data remained robust, which helped ease concerns of a hard landing.

 

    Concerns of a temporary U.S. government shutdown were subdued at the end of the month, as policymakers reached a timely temporary funding bill to keep government operations open through March 2024.

 

    Corporate earnings were better than consensus feared, underpinned by both sales and earnings exceeding market forecasts on improved profit margins across most sectors.

 

  During the Reporting Period overall, all capitalization segments within the U.S. equity market posted gains, with large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, performing best, followed by mid-cap stocks and then small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® Index and Russell 2000® Index, respectively. From a style perspective, growth-oriented stocks materially outperformed value-oriented stocks across the capitalization spectrum. (All as measured by the FTSE Russell indices.)

 

  The best performing sectors within the S&P 500® Index during the Reporting Period were information technology, communication services and financials, while the weakest performing sectors were energy, utilities and consumer staples.

Fund Changes and Highlights

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

Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund

 

  The Fund posted double-digit positive absolute returns that significantly outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, during the Reporting Period.

 

  Stock selection overall contributed positively to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, especially in the information technology, materials and financials sectors. Only partially offsetting these positive contributors was stock selection in the utilities and energy sectors, which detracted. More specifically, stock selection overall contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, especially in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and industrials sectors. Only partially offsetting these positive contributors was stock selection in the health care and information technology sectors, which detracted.

MARKET REVIEW

 

  Sector allocation decisions as a whole added value to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period.

 

  From an industry perspective, stock selection in semiconductors & semiconductor equipment and the technology hardware storage & peripherals industries within the information technology sector added value. Within materials, stock selection in the chemicals industry helped most. In financials, positioning in the insurance, consumer finance and capital markets industries proved most beneficial.

 

  Among individual holdings, overweight positions in information technology infrastructure manufacturer Dell Technologies, investment firm KKR & Co. and insurance company Allstate contributed most positively during the Reporting Period. Those individual holdings that detracted most included overweight positions in consumer health company Kenvue, pharmaceuticals company Bristol-Myers Squibb and auto parts technology supplier Aptiv. We sold the Fund’s position in Aptiv by the end of the Reporting Period.

The Russell 2000® Value Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

 

 

The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our website at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from the percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”); however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). The graph depicts the Fund’s investments but may not represent the Fund’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedule of Investments. Underlying sector allocations of exchange traded funds and other investment companies held by the Fund are not reflected in the graph above. Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY VALUE FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements

 

February 29, 2024 (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
Equity Income   

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

   Diversified
Focused Value   

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

   Non-diversified
Large Cap Value   

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

   Diversified
Mid Cap Value   

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

   Diversified
Small Cap Value   

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

   Diversified
Small/Mid Cap Value   

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

   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, Service, 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 Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. 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. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. These reclaims, if any, are recorded when the amount is known and there are no significant uncertainties on collectability. Such amounts recovered, if any, are reflected as other income in the Statements of Operations. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain and/or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, and non-class specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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

D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.

 

Fund    Income Distributions Declared/Paid      Capital Gains Distributions Declared/Paid
Equity Income    Quarterly      Annually
Focused Value    Annually      Annually
Large Cap Value    Annually      Annually
Mid Cap Value    Annually      Annually
Small Cap Value    Annually      Annually
Small/Mid Cap Value    Annually      Annually

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

The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from 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.

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

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

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. With respect to the Funds’ investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated GSAM as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Valuation Designee”). GSAM has day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

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

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

Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) include exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other investment companies. Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Funds invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. Underlying Funds are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent that underlying ETFs are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under the Valuation Procedures. 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.

C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of February 29, 2024:

GSAM agreed to waive a portion of its management fee with respect to the Equity Income Fund, Focused Value Fund, and Large Cap Value Fund in order to achieve an effective net management fee rate of 0.65%, 0.65%, and 0.66%, respectively, as an annual percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets. This arrangement will remain in effect through at least December 29, 2024, and prior to such date, the Investment Advisor may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of trustees. Prior to December 29, 2023, GSAM agreed to waive a portion of its management fee with respect to the Large Cap Value Fund in order to achieve an effective net management fee rate of 0.69%.

The Funds invest in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the 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, except those management fees it earns from the Funds’ investments of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Government Money Market Fund. For the six months ended February 29, 2024, the management fee waived by GSAM for each Fund was as follows:

B. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A and Class R Shares of each applicable 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 Funds, as applicable, as set forth below.

The Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of each applicable 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 Funds, as set forth below.

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

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

E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.15% 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 and Service Shares.

For the six months ended February 29, 2024, the transfer agency fee waivers were as follows:

 

     Equity Income   Focused Value   Large Cap Value   Mid Cap Value

 

Transfer Agency Waivers (Class A, Class C, Investor, and Class R Shares)*    0.06%   0.04%   0.06%   0.01%

Transfer Agency Waivers (Class A, Class C, Investor, and Class R Shares) *

   0.11%   0.03%

These arrangements will remain in effect through at least December 29, 2024, and prior to such date, Goldman Sachs may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the board of trustees. Prior to December 29, 2023, the transfer agency fee waiver was 0.01% for the Small/Mid Cap Value Fund.

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 Equity Income, Focused Value, Large Cap Value, Small Cap Value and Small/Mid Cap Value Funds is 0.004% and for Mid Cap Value Fund is 0.104%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2024, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

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

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 29, 2024, the Funds participated in a $1,110,000,000 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 February 29, 2024, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 19, 2023, the facility was $1,250,000,000.

H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended February 29, 2024, Goldman Sachs earned the following amounts in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, on behalf of the Funds.

6. SECURITIES LENDING

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

The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Government Money Market Fund, an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.

In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash 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 Funds’ 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 Funds’ loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of February 29, 2024, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

 

8. OTHER RISKS

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

Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation; less public information; 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 problems with 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.

Investment Style Risk — Different investment styles (e.g., “growth”, “value” or “quantitative”) tend to shift in and out of favor depending upon market and economic conditions and investor sentiment. The Fund may outperform or underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes but employ different investment styles. Growth investing is an example of an investment style. Growth companies are often expected by investors to increase their earnings at a certain rate. When these expectations are not met, investors can punish the stocks inordinately even if earnings showed an absolute increase.

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.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

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.

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, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, 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.

Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Risk — Investments in mid-capitalization and small-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies. These securities may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements and may lack sufficient market liquidity, and these issuers often face greater business risks.

Non-Diversification Risk — The Focused Value 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.

REIT Risk — Risks associated with investments in the real estate industry (such as REITs) include, among others: possible declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage financing, variations in rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of property to tenants; interest rates; overbuilding; extended vacancies of properties; increases in competition, property taxes and operating expenses; and changes in zoning laws. REITs whose underlying properties are concentrated in a particular industry or geographic region are subject to risks affecting such industries and regions. The securities of REITs involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements because of interest rate changes, economic conditions and other factors. Securities of such issuers may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to effect sales at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price.

 

9.  INDEMNIFICATIONS

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

 

10. OTHER MATTERS

Pursuant to an effort to consolidate the membership of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) with the Board of Trustees of each of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Trust II and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance trust, in July 2023, the Board voted to nominate Cheryl K. Beebe, John G. Chou, Eileen H. Dowling, Lawrence Hughes, John F. Killian, Steven D. Krichmar, Michael Latham, Lawrence W. Stranghoener and Paul C. Wirth (the” Nominees”) for election as the Trustees of the Trust. Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling were serving as Trustees of the Trust as the time of their nominations. At a virtual special joint meeting of shareholders held on November 16, 2023,

10. OTHER MATTERS (continued)

each of the Nominees (except Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling) was elected to serve as Trustees alongside the then current Trustees of the Trust, effective January 1, 2024. Each of Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling was also elected at the meeting and continue to serve as Trustees of the Trust.

 

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

Liquidity Risk Management Program

 

February 29, 2024

 

The 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 the 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, the 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 the Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) the periodic classification (no less frequently than monthly) of the 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 13-14, 2024 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, 2023 through December 31, 2023 (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.

Fund Expenses — Six Month ended February 29, 2024 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C, Service Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P 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 September 1, 2023 through February 29, 2024, which represents a period of 182 days of a 366 day year.

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a 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 a 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 redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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

 

*

Expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended February 29, 2024. 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:

    1.02     1.77     0.72     1.22     0.77     0.71     1.27

MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs Global Tax-Aware Portfolios

February 29, 2024

The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the financial markets and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs Global Tax-Aware Portfolios (the “Portfolios”) during the six months ended February 29, 2024 (the “Reporting Period”). A streamlined annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended August 31, 2024 will be provided to Fund shareholders, per new Securities and Exchange Commission requirements with a compliance date of July 24, 2024.

Market and Economic Review

 

    Global equity and fixed income markets broadly recorded positive returns during the Reporting Period, with central bank monetary policy, interest rate volatility and macroeconomic trends among the notable influences.

 

    U.S. equities outperformed non-U.S. developed markets stocks, which, in turn, outpaced emerging markets equities.

 

    Global bond yields fell during the Reporting Period, resulting in positive returns overall for global fixed income. As a reminder, bond prices usually move inversely with yields.

 

    As the Reporting Period began in September 2023, most asset classes posted losses, despite a relatively benign macroeconomic environment. Inflation data improved across major developed markets, leading central banks to signal they were likely at, or close to, their peak policy rates.

 

    Global equities produced negative returns during the month, with developed equity markets generally recording the weakest performance.

 

    Global bond yields rose amid significant interest rate volatility.

 

    The fourth calendar quarter was positive overall for most asset classes, which generally benefited from a backdrop of strong economic growth, resilient labor markets, subdued inflationary pressures across developed economies, and signals from major central banks regarding the end of their rate hiking cycles. There were tentative signs that the global manufacturing cycle was stabilizing, albeit at weak levels.

 

    Global equities, led by U.S. stocks, recorded significant gains during the fourth calendar quarter.

 

    Global bond yields rose in October but then fell significantly during November and December, leading to broadly positive returns for global fixed income markets during the fourth quarter overall.

 

    The performance of risk assets was rather mixed in January 2024 against a backdrop of strong U.S. economic data and ongoing disinflation across developed markets. The global manufacturing cycle continued to show signs of stabilization. Developed markets’ central banks indicated interest rate cuts were unlikely in the first calendar quarter but generally removed their hiking biases from policy statements and signaled they expected policy rates to end 2024 lower.

 

    Global equities recorded gains overall, with developed markets equities—especially the Japanese equity market—delivering positive returns. Emerging markets equities, however, posted a decline.

 

    In global fixed income markets, bond yields rose modestly, as developed markets’ central banks signaled interest rates were likely to remain higher for longer.

 

    February 2024 was a strong month for risk assets overall, as global manufacturing data continued to improve. In the U.S., inflation edged up, while economic growth remained solid, suggesting the U.S. Federal Reserve might delay its interest rate cuts.

 

    Global equities generated positive returns, with U.S. equities leading the advance.

 

    Interest rate volatility continued as markets pulled back expectations for the timing of central bank rate cuts, which drove down government bond yields.

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL TAX-AWARE EQUITY PORTFOLIOS

Notes to Financial Statements

 

February 29, 2024 (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 “Portfolios” or individually a “Portfolio”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:

 

Fund    Share Classes Offered    Diversified/ Non-diversified
Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio    A, Institutional, R6 and P    Diversified
Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio    A, Institutional, R6 and P    Diversified

Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Institutional, Class R6 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 Portfolios pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

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

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

A.  Investment Valuation — The valuation policy of the Portfolios and Underlying Funds is to value investments at fair value.

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities

lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. 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. The Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund (the “Underlying MLP Fund”) records its pro-rata share of the income/loss and capital gains/ losses, allocated from the underlying partnerships and adjusts the cost basis of the underlying partnerships accordingly. Income distributions are recognized as capital gains or income in the financial statements in accordance with the character that is distributed.

For derivative contracts, unrealized gains and losses are recorded daily and become realized gains and losses upon disposition or termination of the contract.

C.  Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, and non-class specific expenses of each Portfolio are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Portfolios on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service and Transfer Agency fees. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

with the Underlying Funds. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Portfolios may own different proportions of the Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by each Portfolio will vary.

D.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Portfolio is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:

 

Portfolio    Income Distributions Declared/Paid    Capital Gains Distributions Declared/Paid
Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio    Quarterly    Annually
Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio    Annually    Annually

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

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

E.  Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of a Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Portfolios’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The 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;

February 29, 2024 (Unaudited)

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

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 Portfolios, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. With respect to the Portfolios’ investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated GSAM as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Valuation Designee”) GSAM has day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Portfolios’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

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

Equity Securities— Equity securities traded on a United States 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 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.

Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) include exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other investment companies. Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Portfolios invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Portfolios’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. Underlying Funds are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent that underlying ETFs are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

Derivative Contracts— A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. A Portfolio enters into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Portfolio and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either due to broker/receivable for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Portfolio, if any, is noted in the Schedules 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

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.

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

A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a forward contract in which a Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked to market daily by using the outright forward rates or interpolating based upon maturity dates, where available. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

ii. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Portfolio deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Portfolio equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.

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

Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by the Portfolio, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.

iv. Swap Contracts — Bilateral swap contracts are agreements in which a Portfolio and a counterparty agree to exchange periodic payments on a specified notional amount or make a net payment upon termination. Bilateral swap transactions are privately negotiated in the OTC market and payments are settled through direct payments between a Portfolio and the counterparty. By contrast, certain swap transactions are subject to mandatory central clearing. These swaps are executed through a derivatives clearing member (“DCM”), acting in an agency capacity, and submitted to a central counterparty (“CCP”) (“centrally cleared swaps”), in which case all payments are settled with the CCP through the DCM. Swaps are marked-to-market daily using pricing vendor quotations, counterparty or clearinghouse prices or model prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upon entering into a swap contract, a Portfolio is required to satisfy an initial margin requirement by delivering cash or securities to the counterparty (or in some cases, segregated in a triparty account on behalf of the counterparty), which can be adjusted by any mark-to-market gains or losses pursuant to bilateral or centrally cleared arrangements. For centrally cleared swaps the daily change in valuation, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin.

An interest rate swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals, based upon or calculated by reference to changes in interest rates on a specified notional principal amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.

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

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments— To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Portfolio’s investments may be determined under the Valuation Procedures.

B.  Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A Shares of each applicable Portfolio, has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act.

These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A Shares of the Portfolios.

C.  Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Portfolios pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge.

E.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Portfolios (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 Portfolio. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Portfolios are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Portfolios is 0.014%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2024, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Portfolios have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Portfolios’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

As of the Portfolios’ most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, certain timing differences on a tax-basis were as follows:

 

      

Enhanced
Dividend Global
Equity Portfolio
 
 
 
   

Tax-Advantaged
Global Equity
Portfolio
 
 
 

Timing differences (Qualified Late Year Loss Deferral/Post October Loss Deferral/ Straddle Deferral)

   $ (551,327   $ (22,217,269

As of February 29, 2024, the Portfolios’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

      

Enhanced Dividend
Global Equity
Portfolio
 
 
 
   

Tax-Advantaged
Global Equity
Portfolio
 
 
 
Tax Cost    $ 317,399,161     $ 2,199,246,474  
Gross unrealized gain      129,343,198       1,892,438,914  
Gross unrealized loss      (15,955,544     (64,797,047

Net unrealized gain (loss)

   $   113,387,654     $   1,827,641,867  

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains/(losses) on regulated futures contracts, net mark to market gains/(losses) on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment companies.

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

 

8. OTHER RISKS

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

Derivatives Risk —The Portfolios’ use of derivatives and other similar instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) may result in loss, including due to adverse market movements. Derivatives, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other assets and instruments, may increase market exposure and be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying assets or instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Portfolios. Certain derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not, or lacks the capacity or authority to, fulfill its contractual obligations, liquidity risk, which includes the risk that the Portfolios will not be able to exit the derivative when it is advantageous to do so, and risks arising from margin requirements, which include the risk that the Portfolios will be required to pay additional margin or set aside additional collateral to maintain open derivative positions. 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 — A Portfolio’s investments in dividend-paying securities could cause a Portfolio to underperform other funds. 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 a Portfolio’s investment criteria may not be widely available and/or may be highly concentrated in only a few market 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. This may limit the ability of a Portfolio to produce current income.

8. OTHER RISKS ( continued )

Expenses Risk — By investing in the Underlying Funds indirectly through the Portfolio, the investor will incur not only a proportionate share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds held by the Portfolio (including operating costs and investment management fees), but also the expenses of the Portfolio.

Investments in the Underlying Funds Risk — The Portfolios invest primarily in a combination of Underlying Funds, and are subject to the risk factors associated with the investments of those Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of assets allocated to each. A strategy used by the Underlying Funds may fail to produce the intended results. As of February 29, 2024, the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio invested 55.0% and 17.4% of its net assets in the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund (the “U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund”) and the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund (the “International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund”), respectively. Because of the high concentration of its assets in these Underlying Funds, the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio has greater exposure to the risks associated with these Underlying Funds than it does to the risks associated with the other Underlying Funds in which it invests. The U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund invests primarily in dividend paying equity investments in large capitalization U.S. issuers, with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of the S&P 500® Index at the time of investment. This Underlying Fund expects that, under normal circumstances, it will write (sell) call options on the S&P 500® Index or related exchange-traded funds in an amount that is between 20% and 75% of the value of its portfolio. The International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying equity investments in non-U.S. issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of capitalization of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe, Australasia, Far East (“EAFE”) Index (“MSCI EAFE Index”) at the time of investment. This Underlying Fund expects that, under normal circumstances, it will write (sell) call options on the MSCI EAFE Index, other national or regional stock market indices or related exchange-traded funds in an amount that is between 20% and 75% of the value of its portfolio.

As of February 29, 2024, the Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio invested 62.6% and 17.6% of its net assets in the Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund (the “U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund”) and the Goldman Sachs International Tax-Managed Equity Fund (the “International Tax-Managed Equity Fund”), respectively. Because of the high concentration of its assets in these Underlying Funds, the Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio has greater exposure to the risks associated with these Underlying Funds than it does to the risks associated with the other Underlying Funds in which it invests. The U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund invests primarily in equity investments in U.S. issuers. This Underlying Fund will seek to maintain risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the Russell 3000 Index. The International Tax-Managed Equity Fund invests primarily in equity investments in non-U.S. issuers. This Underlying Fund will seek to maintain risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the MSCI EAFE Index. The investment adviser may seek tax-efficiency by offsetting gains and losses, limiting portfolio turnover or selling high tax basis securities for both Underlying Funds.

The Portfolios do not invest in the Underlying Funds for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, investments by the Portfolios within their principal investment strategies may represent a significant portion of an Underlying Fund’s net assets.

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

8.  OTHER RISKS (continued )

Leverage Risk — Leverage creates exposure to potential gains and losses in excess of the initial amount invested. Borrowing and the use of derivatives may result in leverage and may make the Portfolio more volatile. When the Portfolio uses leverage, the sum of that Portfolio’s investment exposure may significantly exceed the amount of assets invested in the Portfolio, although these exposures may vary over time. Relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of a leveraged investment. The use of leverage may cause the Portfolio to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations when it may not be advantageous to do so. The use of leverage by the Portfolio can substantially increase the adverse impact to which the Portfolio’s investment portfolio may be subject.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Portfolio and an Underlying Fund trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). The value of securities in which a Portfolio and/or an Underlying 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, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Portfolio and/or an Underlying Fund and their investments. Additionally, a Portfolio and/or an Underlying Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio and the Underlying Fund have unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Tax-Managed Investment Risk — Because the investment adviser balances investment considerations and tax considerations, the pre-tax performance of the Goldman Sachs Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio may be lower than the performance of similar funds that are not tax-managed. This is because the Investment Adviser may choose not to make certain investments that may result in taxable distributions to the Goldman Sachs Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio. Even though tax-managed strategies are being used, they may not reduce the amount of taxable income and capital gains distributed by the Goldman Sachs Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio to shareholders. A high percentage of an Underlying Fund’s NAV may consist of unrealized capital gains, which represent a potential future tax liability to shareholders.

 

9.  INDEMNIFICATIONS

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

 

10. OTHER MATTERS

Pursuant to an effort to consolidate the membership of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) with the Board of Trustees of each of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Trust II and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, in July 2023, the Board voted to nominate Cheryl K. Beebe, John G. Chou, Eileen H. Dowling, Lawrence Hughes, John F. Killian, Steven D. Krichmar, Michael Latham, Lawrence W. Stranghoener and Paul C. Wirth (the “Nominees”) for election as Trustees of the Trust. Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling were serving as Trustees of the Trust at the time of their nominations. At a virtual special joint meeting of shareholders held on November 16, 2023, each of the Nominees (except Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling) was elected to serve as Trustees alongside the then current Trustees of the Trust, effective January 1, 2024. Each of Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling was also elected at the meeting and continue to serve as Trustees of the Trust.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

February 29, 2024

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 13-14, 2024, 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, 2023 through December 31, 2023 (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.

Fund Expenses — Six Month ended February 29, 2024 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Institutional, Class R6 or Class P Shares of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A Shares); and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Institutional, Class R6 and Class P Shares of the Portfolios and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2023 through February 29, 2024, which represents a period of 182 days of a 366 day year.

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

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

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

Hypothetical expenses are based on each Portfolio’s actual annualized net expense ratios (excluding proxy fee which is not annualized) and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. 

 
*

Expenses are calculated using each Portfolio’s annualized net expense ratio (excluding proxy fee which is not annualized) for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended February 29, 2024. 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:

Effective January 24, 2023, open-end mutual funds and exchange traded funds are required to provide shareholders with streamlined annual and semi-annual shareholder reports (“Tailored Shareholder Reports”). Funds will be required to prepare a separate Tailored Shareholder Report for each share class of a fund that highlights key information to investors. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a fund’s shareholder report, but will be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a semi-annual basis on Form N-CSR. The new requirements have a compliance date of July 24, 2024.

Goldman Sachs Allocation Funds

The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the financial markets and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs Allocation Funds (the “Funds”) during the six months ended February 29, 2024 (the “Reporting Period”). A streamlined annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended August 31, 2024 will be provided to Fund shareholders, per new SEC requirements with a compliance date of July 24, 2024.

Market and Economic Review

 

Global equity and fixed income markets broadly recorded positive returns during the Reporting Period, with central bank monetary policy, interest rate volatility and macroeconomic trends among the notable influences.

 

 

U.S. equities outperformed non-U.S. developed markets stocks, which, in turn, outpaced emerging markets equities.

 

 

Global bond yields fell during the Reporting Period, resulting in positive returns overall for global fixed income. As a reminder, bond prices usually move inversely with yields.

 

As the Reporting Period began in September 2023, most asset classes posted losses, despite a relatively benign macroeconomic environment. Inflation data improved across major developed markets, leading central banks to signal they were likely at, or close to, their peak policy rates.

 

 

Global equities produced negative returns during the month, with developed equity markets generally recording the weakest performance.

 

 

Global bond yields rose amid significant interest rate volatility.

 

The fourth calendar quarter was positive overall for most asset classes, which generally benefited from a backdrop of strong economic growth, resilient labor markets, subdued inflationary pressures across developed economies, and signals from major central banks regarding the end of their rate hiking cycles. There were tentative signs that the global manufacturing cycle was stabilizing, albeit at weak levels.

 

 

Global equities, led by U.S. stocks, recorded significant gains during the fourth calendar quarter.

 

 

Global bond yields rose in October but then fell significantly during November and December, leading to broadly positive returns for global fixed income markets during the fourth quarter overall.

 

The performance of risk assets was rather mixed in January 2024 against a backdrop of strong U.S. economic data and ongoing disinflation across developed markets. The global manufacturing cycle continued to show signs of stabilization. Developed markets’ central banks indicated interest rate cuts were unlikely in the first calendar quarter but generally removed their hiking biases from policy statements and signaled they expected policy rates to end 2024 lower.

 

 

Global equities recorded gains overall, with developed markets equities—especially the Japanese equity market—delivering positive returns. Emerging markets equities, however, posted a decline.

 

 

In global fixed income, bond yields rose modestly, as developed markets’ central banks signaled interest rates were likely to remain higher for longer.

 

February 2024 was a strong month for risk assets overall, as global manufacturing data continued to improve. In the U.S., inflation edged up, while economic growth remained solid, suggesting the Fed might delay its interest rate cuts.

 

 

Global equities generated positive returns, with U.S. equities leading the advance.

 

 

Interest rate volatility continued as markets pulled back expectations for the timing of central bank rate cuts, which drove down government bond yields.

Fund Changes and Highlights

Goldman Sachs Strategic Factor Allocation Fund

 

At a meeting held on February 13-14, 2024, the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust approved certain changes to the principal strategy of the Fund to enable it to invest in volatility index derivatives and authorized the Fund to invest in a wholly owned subsidiary, through which the Fund will seek to gain exposure to volatility index derivatives and may also seek to gain exposure to commodities markets.

 

The wholly owned subsidiary, which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, will be advised by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P., the Fund’s investment adviser.

 

These changes and modifications took effect on March 31, 2024.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

February 29, 2024 (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

Global Managed Beta   

Institutional

   Diversified
Strategic Factor Allocation   

Institutional and P

   Diversified
Strategic Volatility Premium   

Institutional and P

   Diversified
Tactical Tilt Overlay   

Institutional, R6 and P

   Diversified

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to each of the Global Managed Beta, Strategic Factor Allocation, Strategic Volatility Premium and Tactical Tilt Overlay Funds pursuant to management agreements (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. Basis of Consolidation for Goldman Sachs Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund — The Cayman Commodity – TTIF, LLC. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund to enable the Fund to gain exposure to certain types of commodity-linked derivative instruments. The Fund is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary and it is intended that the Fund will remain the sole shareholder and will continue to control the Subsidiary. All inter-fund balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of February 29, 2024, the Fund’s net assets were $4,710,233,794, of which, $579,155,747, or 12.3%, represented the Subsidiary’s net assets.

B. Investment Valuation — Each Fund’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.

C. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. 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. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. For the Global Managed Beta Fund, these reclaims, if any, are recorded when the amount is known and there are no significant uncertainties on collectability. Such amounts recovered, if any, are reflected as other income in the Statement of Operations. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from a Fund’s investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain and/or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Fund as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

GOLDMAN SACHS ALLOCATION FUNDS

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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. Income distributions are recognized as capital gains or income in the financial statements in accordance with the character that is distributed.

For derivative contracts, unrealized gains and losses are recorded daily and become realized gains and losses upon disposition or termination of the contract. Upfront payments, if any, are made or received upon entering into a swap agreement and are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Upfront payments are recognized over the contract’s term/event as realized gains or losses, with the exception of forward starting swap contracts whose realized gains or losses are recognized from the effective start date. For securities with paydown provisions, principal payments received are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities, and excess or shortfall amounts are recorded as income. For treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”), adjustments to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to interest income with a corresponding adjustment to cost.

D. Class Allocations and Expenses for Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund, Strategic Factor Allocation Fund and Strategic Volatility Premium Fund — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, and non-class specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Transfer Agency fees.

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

F. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.

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

Net capital losses, 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 Fund’s net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.

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

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the 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. With respect to the Funds’ investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated GSAM as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Valuation Designee”). GSAM has day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the valuation procedures.

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

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

Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) include exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other investment companies. Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

system on which the investment is traded. Because the Funds invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. Underlying Funds are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent that underlying ETFs are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

Debt Securities — Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers or an independent pricing service. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. With the exception of treasury securities of G7 countries, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. A Fund enters into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as either due to broker/receivable for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules and Consolidated Schedules 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.Forward Contracts — A forward contract is a contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date. A forward contract settlement can occur on a cash or delivery basis. Forward contracts are marked-to-market daily using independent vendor prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Cash and certain investments may be used to collateralize forward contracts.

A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a forward contract in which a Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked to market daily by using the outright forward rates or interpolating based upon maturity dates, where available. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

ii.Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.

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

Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by a Fund, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.

iv.Swap Contracts — Bilateral swap contracts are agreements in which a Fund and a counterparty agree to exchange periodic payments on a specified notional amount or make a net payment upon termination. Bilateral swap transactions are privately negotiated in the OTC market and payments are settled through direct payments between a Fund and the counterparty. By contrast, certain swap transactions are subject to mandatory central clearing. These swaps are executed through a derivatives clearing member (“DCM”), acting in an agency capacity, and submitted to a central counterparty (“CCP”) (“centrally cleared swaps”), in which case all payments are settled with the CCP through the DCM. Swaps are marked-to-market daily using pricing vendor quotations, counterparty or clearinghouse prices or model prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upon entering into a swap contract, a Fund is required to satisfy an initial margin requirement by delivering cash or securities to the counterparty (or in some cases, segregated in a triparty account on behalf of the counterparty), which can be adjusted by any mark-to-market gains or losses pursuant to bilateral or centrally cleared arrangements. For centrally cleared swaps the daily change in valuation, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin.

An interest rate swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals, based upon or calculated by reference to changes in interest rates on a specified notional principal amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Funds’ investments may be determined under the valuation procedures. 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 Funds’ 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.

GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to any management fee it earns as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated funds in which the Fund invests through at least December 29, 2024. Prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Trustees.

  ^

Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any.

  (a)

Reflects combined management fees paid to GSAM under the Agreement and the Subsidiary Agreements as defined below after waivers.

GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to achieve an effective net management fee rate of 0.40% as an annual percentage rate of the Strategic Volatility Premium Fund’s average daily net assets. This arrangement will remain in effect at least through December 29, 2024. For the six months ended February 29, 2024, GSAM waived $218,300 of the Strategic Volatility Premium Fund’s management fee.

The Funds invest in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”). The Global Managed Beta Fund invests in each of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs MarketBeta International Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs MarketBeta Russell 1000 Growth Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs MarketBeta Russell 1000 Growth Equity ETF and the Goldman Sachs MarketBeta US Equity ETF, and the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund invested in Goldman Sachs High Yield Floating Rate Fund and invests in Goldman Sachs Energy Infrastructure Fund and Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund, which are affiliated Underlying Funds. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Funds in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Funds in which the Funds invest, except those management fees it earns from the Funds’ investments of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Government Money Market Fund. For the six months ended February 29, 2024, GSAM waived $822,818, $1,097,318, $202,072 and $1,971,319 of the Global Managed Beta, Strategic Factor Allocation, Strategic Volatility Premium and Tactical Tilt Overlay Funds’ management fees, respectively.

GSAM also provides management services to the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund’s Subsidiary pursuant to a Subsidiary Management Agreement (the “Subsidiary Agreement”) and is entitled to a management fee accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.42% of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets. In consideration of the Subsidiary’s management fee, and for as long as the Subsidiary Agreement remains in effect, GSAM has contractually agreed to waive irrevocably a portion of the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to the management fee accrued and paid to GSAM by the Subsidiary under the Subsidiary Agreement. For the six months ended February 29, 2024, GSAM waived $1,179,606 of the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund’s management fee.

B. 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 of 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares for the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund, Strategic Factor Allocation Fund and Strategic Volatility Premium Fund, 0.02% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares for the Global Managed Beta Fund, 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares for the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund and 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P Shares for the Strategic Factor Allocation Fund, Strategic Volatility Premium Fund and Tactical Tilt Overlay 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 Global Managed Beta, Strategic Factor Allocation, Strategic Volatility Premium and Tactical Tilt Overlay Funds are 0.204%, 0.164%, 0.064% and 0.164%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2024 and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

For the six months ended February 29, 2024, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

D. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 29, 2024, the Funds participated in a $1,110,000,000 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 February 29, 2024, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

E. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended February 29, 2024, Goldman Sachs earned $111,189 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund.

As of February 29, 2024, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of 5% or more of total outstanding shares of the following Funds:

7. SECURITIES LENDING

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

GOLDMAN SACHS ALLOCATION FUNDS

 

7. SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“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 Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash 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 Funds’ 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 Funds’ loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of February 29, 2024, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statement and Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

Both the Funds and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended February 29, 2024, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements and Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table provides information about the Funds’ investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended February 29, 2024.

   $ 363,118,079     $ (19,985,591     $ (1,982,238   $ 8,068,784  

 

 

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

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

 

9. OTHER RISKS

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

Asset Allocation Risk — The Funds’ allocations to the various asset classes may cause the Funds to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.

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 a 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.

Derivatives Risk — The Fund’s use of derivatives and other similar instruments (collectively, referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) may result in loss, including due to adverse market movements. Derivatives, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other assets and instruments, may increase market exposure and be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying assets or instruments may produce disproportionate losses to a Fund. Certain derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not, or lacks the capacity or authority to, fulfill its contractual obligations, liquidity risk, which includes the risk that the Funds will not be able to exit the derivative when it is advantageous to do so, and risks arising from margin requirements, which include the risk that the Funds will be required to pay additional margin or set aside additional collateral to maintain open derivative positions. 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.

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

GOLDMAN SACHS ALLOCATION FUNDS

 

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by a Fund will generally decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments. A wide variety of market factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation and changes in general economic conditions. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from Fund performance. In addition, changes in monetary policy may exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Funds with longer average portfolio durations will generally be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than funds with a shorter average portfolio duration. 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 a Fund’s investments, which would make it harder for the Fund to sell its investments at an advantageous time.

Investments in ETFs Risk — The Fund’s may invest directly in ETFs, including affiliated ETFs. The Fund’s investments in ETFs will be subject to the restrictions applicable to investments by an investment company in other investment companies, unless relief is otherwise provided under the terms of an SEC exemptive order or SEC exemptive rule.

Investments in the Underlying Funds Risk — The investments of a Fund may be concentrated in one or more Underlying Funds (including ETFs and other registered investment companies) subject to statutory limitations prescribed by the Act or exemptive relief or regulations thereunder. The Funds’ investment performance is directly related to the investment performance of the Underlying Funds it holds. The Portfolios are subject to the risk factors associated with the investments of the Underlying Funds and will be affected by the investment policies and practices of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of assets allocated to each. If a Fund has a relative concentration of its portfolio in a single Underlying Fund, it may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting that Underlying Fund, and may be more susceptible to losses because of these developments. A strategy used by the Underlying Funds may fail to produce the intended results.

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 a 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.

Leverage Risk — Leverage creates exposure to potential gains and losses in excess of the initial amount invested. Borrowing and the use of derivatives may result in leverage and may make a Fund more volatile. When a Fund uses leverage, the sum of that Fund’s investment exposure may significantly exceed the amount of assets invested in the Fund, although these exposures may vary over time. Relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of a leveraged investment. The use of leverage may cause a Fund to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations when it may not be advantageous to do so. The use of leverage by a Fund can substantially increase the adverse impact to which the Fund’s investment portfolio may be subject.

Liquidity Risk — A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, declining prices of the securities sold, 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 a 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

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

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 a Fund’s liquidity.

Management Risk — A strategy used by the Investment Adviser may fail to produce the intended results.

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, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, 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 a Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Option Writing Risk — Writing (selling) options may limit the opportunity to profit from an increase or decrease in the market value of a reference security in exchange for up-front cash (the premium) at the time of selling the option. In a sharp rising or falling market, the Fund could significantly underperform the market or other portfolios without an option writing strategy. The Fund could also experience a sudden, significant permanent loss due to dramatic movements in the market value of reference security, which may far exceed the premiums received for writing the option. Such significant losses could cause significant deteriorations in the Fund’s NAV. Furthermore, the premium received from the Fund’s option writing strategies may not fully protect it against market movements because the Fund will continue to bear the risk of movements in the value of its portfolio investments.

Tax Risk — The Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Subsidiary and/or commodity index-linked structured notes, as applicable. Historically, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued private letter rulings (“PLRs”) in which the IRS specifically concluded that income and gains from investments in commodity index-linked structured notes (the “Notes Rulings”) or a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary that invests in commodity-linked instruments are “qualifying income” for purposes of compliance with Subchapter M of the Code. However, the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund has not received a PLR, and is not able to rely on PLRs issued to other taxpayers. Treasury regulations generally treat the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund’s income inclusion with respect to a subsidiary as qualifying income either if (A) there is a current-year distribution out of the earnings and profits of the subsidiary that are attributable to such income inclusion or (B) such inclusion is derived with respect to the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund’s business of investing in stock, securities, or currencies.

The IRS also issued a revenue procedure, which states that the IRS will not in the future issue PLRs that would require a determination of whether an asset (such as a commodity index-linked note) is a “security” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In connection with issuing such revenue procedure, the IRS has revoked the Notes Ruling on a prospective basis. In light of the revocation of the Notes Rulings, the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund has limited its investments in commodity index-linked structured notes. The Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund has obtained an opinion of counsel that the Fund’s income from investments in the Subsidiary should constitute “qualifying income.” However, no assurances can be provided that the IRS would not be able to successfully assert that the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund’s income from such investments was not “qualifying income,” in which case the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund would fail to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code if over 10% of its gross income were derived from these investments. If the Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund failed to qualify as a RIC, it would be subject to federal and state income tax on all of its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates with no deduction for any distributions paid to shareholders, which would significantly adversely affect the returns to, and could cause substantial losses for, Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund shareholders.

10. INDEMNIFICATIONS

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the 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.

 

11. OTHER MATTERS

Pursuant to an effort to consolidate the membership of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) with the Board of Trustees of each of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Trust II and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, in July 2023, the Board voted to nominate Cheryl K. Beebe, John G. Chou, Eileen H. Dowling, Lawrence Hughes, John F. Killian, Steven D. Krichmar, Michael Latham, Lawrence W. Stranghoener and Paul C. Wirth (the “Nominees”) for election as Trustees of the Trust. Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling were serving as Trustees of the Trust at the time of their nominations. At a virtual special joint meeting of shareholders held on November 16, 2023, each of the Nominees (except Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling) was elected to serve as Trustees alongside the then current Trustees of the Trust, effective January 1, 2024. Each of Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling was also elected at the meeting and continue to serve as Trustees of the Trust.

 

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 29, 2024 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Institutional, Class R6 and Class P Shares of a Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Institutional, Class R6 and Class P 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 September 1, 2023 through February 29, 2024, which represents a period of 182 days of a 366-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 Funds’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

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

*

Expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio (excluding proxy fees) for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended February 29, 2024. 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:

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 13-14, 2024, 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, 2023 through December 31, 2023 (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.
