GOLDMAN SACHS MUNICIPAL FIXED INCOME FUNDS What Distinguishes Goldman Sachs’ Fixed Income Investing Process? At Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM), the goal of our fixed income investment process is to provide consistent, strong performance by actively managing our portfolios within a research-intensive, risk-managed framework. A key element of our fixed income investment philosophy is to evaluate the broadest global opportunity set to capture relative value across sectors and instruments.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS Short Duration Tax-Free Fund Dear Shareholder, This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Short Duration Tax-Free Fund during the six- month reporting period that ended April 30, 2004. Performance Review Over the six-month period that ended April 30, 2004, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 0.00%, -0.20%, -0.38%, 0.29%, and 0.04%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.20% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Municipal Bond Index, over the same time period.* The Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark was mixed. Given the substantial growth in assets and sizable inflows/outflows, the portfolio maintained a high average credit quality to preserve liquidity. This proved to be a modest drag on performance. However, given the increase in cash flows during the reporting period, we believe enhanced liquidity driven by high credit quality was a prudent strategy. As assets have stabilized, we have strategically reduced credit quality to AA to capture additional yield. Additionally, the portfolio’s duration was modestly shorter than that of its benchmark during the reporting period. The results of duration management have been mixed, though recently very beneficial as the bond market has sold off. Municipal Market Performance The municipal market posted positive returns during the reporting period as soft retail demand was offset by declining supply and robust institutional demand. During the first quarter 2004, bond yields retested lows established in 2003. Retail investors, which account for approximately 70% of municipal market demand, were unenthused by persistently lower rates, preferring to remain on the sidelines. Property and casualty insurance companies, whose earnings have been up significantly, were able to largely replace the absence of retail investors and keep the municipal market well-bid. Lower rates were fueled by four consecutive months of below- consensus employment reports and market-friendly commentary on inflation and growth from the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”). However, by mid-March 2004, bond market sentiment shifted as employment surged and inflationary indicators showed signs of bottoming. Consequently, the municipal market was weak in March and April 2004, with market participants now expecting tighter monetary policy to be initiated as early as the next FOMC meeting in late June. For the six-month period ending April 30, 2004, yields rose across the curve 11-57 basis points, with the majority of the change occurring in the 3-5 year maturity range. The price action resulted in a flatter yield curve, with the current spread between 2- and 30-year AAA municipals declining from 351 to 315 bps. *Unlike the Fund’s total return, the Index’s performance does not reflect any deduction for fees or expenses. 2

 


 

(FOLIO 3)
PORTFOLIO RESULTS Investment Objective The Fund seeks a high level of current income, consistent with relatively low volatility of principal, that is exempt from regular federal income tax. Portfolio Composition The Fund maintained an overall credit quality in the AAA-/AA range and its duration was between 2.0 and 2.3 years during the reporting period. The largest sector allocations were to State and Local General Obligations, Pre-refunded, Primary Health Care, and Electric Utility securities. The Fund is nationally diversified, with the top five states being California, New York, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Texas. Additionally, the Fund had no exposure to securities subject to the alternative minimum tax during the reporting period. Portfolio Highlights We continue to favor a broader maturity distribution for the Fund, particularly given the persistent steepness of the municipal yield curve. We believe this strategy could be advantageous should the yield curve flatten to more normalized levels. While the timing of a yield curve shift is uncertain, we remain confident that a broader maturity distribution is the most appropriate strategy to optimize current market opportunities. We thank you for your investment and look forward to your continued confidence. Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income –Municipal Investment Management Team May 10, 2004 3

PORTFOLIO RESULTS Municipal Income Fund Dear Shareholder, This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund during the six-month reporting period that ended April 30, 2004. Performance Review Over the six-month period that ended April 30, 2004, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 1.71%, 1.33%, 1.33%, 1.91%, and 1.65%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.19% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Municipal Bond Index, over the same period.* Each share class of the Fund outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Lower credit quality securities outperformed as they rallied back from historically wide spreads in the midst of economic growth and expanding investor risk tolerances. Security selection strategies and a focus on BBB credits were the key factors contributing to excess returns, particularly investments in Healthcare, Electric Utilities, and Transportation. Municipal Market Performance The municipal market posted positive returns during the reporting period as soft retail demand was offset by declining supply and robust institutional demand. During the first quarter 2004, bond yields re-tested lows established in 2003. Retail investors, which account for approximately 70% of municipal market demand, were unenthused by persistently lower rates, preferring to remain on the sidelines. Property and casualty insurance companies, whose earnings have been up significantly, were able to largely replace the absence of retail investors and keep the municipal market well-bid.

     (FOLIO 6)
PORTFOLIO RESULTS Portfolio Composition The Fund maintained an average credit quality of AA and its duration was between 7.2 and 7.8 years during the reporting period. The Fund continues to be well-diversified in terms of sectors, issuers, and geographic location. The portfolio is comprised of a mix of general obligation (GO) bonds (those backed by real estate and income taxes) and revenue bonds (backed by money received from services, sales tax, and user fees). Within the GO sector, the Fund has reasonable weightings in bonds issued by a variety of state and local governments. Within the revenue sector, the portfolio has a full complement of bonds issued by municipalities that provide essential services — such as water and sewer, education, and transportation. In addition to the high quality securities anchoring the portfolio, its management team continually identifies opportunities to enhance yield and lower portfolio volatility by investing in select BBB rated securities. The Fund is nationally diversified, with the top five states being Illinois, California, Texas, Washington, and New York. Portfolio Highlights The Fund’s overweight to BBB rated securities was a primary driver of excess returns during the reporting period. The portfolio management team employs a very disciplined “bottom’s up” credit selection process, drawing upon the resources of a dedicated municipal credit research department. Our recent focus has been on Primary Care Hospitals as well as Electric Utilities. In each instance, we increased exposure to securities where we anticipated tighter spreads driven by improving balance sheets, liquidity, and investor demand. Term structure is another area that we wish to exploit, positioning the Fund to benefit from persistent yield curve steepness and pockets of value. We thank you for your investment and look forward to your continued confidence. Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income–Municipal Investment Management Team May 10, 2004 6

PORTFOLIO RESULTS High Yield Municipal Fund Dear Shareholder, This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs High Yield Municipal Fund during the six- month reporting period that ended April 30, 2004. Performance Review Over the six-month period that ended April 30, 2004, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 2.81%, 2.42%, 2.42%, and 3.01%, respectively. These returns compare to the 4.54% and 1.19% cumulative total returns of the Fund’s benchmarks, the Lehman Brothers High Yield Municipal Bond Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Municipal Bond Index, respectively, over the same time period.* The Fund employs the use of two benchmarks for risk management and performance attribution purposes. In the most recent reporting period, lower credit quality securities outperformed as they rallied back from historically wide spreads. Tobacco, Healthcare, and Electric Utility bonds were the primary drivers of Fund returns during the period. However, the portfolio’s “up-in-credit” bias versus the Lehman Brothers High Yield Municipal Bond Index offset favorable sector allocation decisions. Economic growth and expanding investor risk tolerances contributed to robust returns within the high yield municipal arena. Strategically, the Fund seeks value throughout the credit spectrum, which frequently entails sizable exposure to BBB rated securities. These positions, as well as other investment grade securities, are not contained within the Lehman Brothers High Yield Municipal Bond Index and may lead to periods of relative underperformance. The Fund’s investment in securities rated BBB or higher resulted in the Fund’s underperformance versus the Lehman Brothers High Yield Municipal Bond Index. Municipal Market Performance The municipal market posted positive returns during the reporting period as soft retail demand was offset by declining supply and robust institutional demand. During the first quarter 2004, bond yields retested lows established in 2003. Retail investors, which account for approximately 70% of municipal market demand, were unenthused by persistently lower rates, preferring to remain on the sidelines. Property and casualty insurance companies, whose earnings have been up significantly, were able to largely replace the absence of retail investors and keep the municipal market well-bid.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS FOMC meeting in late June. Lower tier investment grade and high yield municipal securities have benefited from improving economic signals and investor demand for higher yielding tax-exempt investments. Accordingly, municipal credit spreads have declined from 361 to 313 during the reporting period. Investment Objective The Fund seeks a high level of current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax and may also consider the potential for capital appreciation. Portfolio Composition During the reporting period, the Fund maintained an average credit quality of BBB and its duration was between 7.6 and 8.2 years. The portfolio continues to focus on security selection and sector allocation as the key drivers of performance, with the largest sector weightings found in Special Assessment, Electric Utility, Airlines, Tobacco, and Healthcare. The Fund continues to be well-diversified in terms of issuers and geographic distribution, with over 500 individual securities and 44 states/territories represented in the portfolio. Portfolio Highlights The Fund focuses on generating superior risk-adjusted returns on an after-tax basis. While overall supply has declined from the rapid pace of 2003, new issuance has become more diverse. Tighter spreads are enabling issuers to tap into the high yield municipal market. In this environment, the portfolio benefited from a wider variety of issuers and improved opportunities for diversification. Additionally, the Fund increased its overall Airline exposure to neutral versus the Lehman Brothers High Yield Muncipal Bond and Lehman Brothers Aggregate Municipal Bond Indices. However, the maturity structure of the portfolio’s airline exposure is significantly shorter than the benchmark, limiting volatility. Lastly, the portfolio management team continues to strategically invest in Special (Land) Assessment securities that provide solid income and demonstrate defensive characteristics during volatile markets. We thank you for your investment and look forward to your continued confidence. Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income–Municipal Investment Management Team May 10, 2004 9

 GOLDMAN SACHS MUNICIPAL FIXED INCOME FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2004 (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Short Duration Tax-Free Fund (Short Duration Tax-Free), the Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund (Municipal Income) and the Goldman Sachs High Yield Municipal Fund (High Yield Municipal), (collectively, “the Funds” or individually a “Fund”). Short Duration Tax-Free and Municipal Income are diversified portfolios offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service. High Yield Municipal is a non-diversified portfolio offering four classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional.
     Since the Funds may invest a large percentage of their total assets in obligations of issuers within the same state, they are subject to possible concentration risks associated with economic, political or legal developments or industrial or regional matters specifically affecting that state.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Investment Valuation — Portfolio securities for which accurate market quotations are readily available are valued at market value on the basis of quotations furnished by a pricing service or provided by dealers in such securities. Portfolio securities for which accurate market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value based on yield equivalents, pricing matrices or other sources, under valuation procedures established by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates value.

B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. Market discounts, original issue discount and market premiums on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding adjustment in the cost basis of that security.

     Net investment income (other than class specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.

C. Federal Taxes — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.

     The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules. Therefore, the source of a Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income or net realized gain, or from paid-in capital, depending on the type of book/tax differences that may exist.

D. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Funds on a straight-line or pro rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense.

     Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of the Funds bear all expenses and fees relating to their respective Distribution and Service Plans. Service Shares bear all expenses and fees related to their Service and Shareholder Administration Plans. Each class of shares of the Funds separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

E. Segregation Transactions — The Funds may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Interest rate swaps, futures contracts, written options, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into those transactions, the Funds are required to segregate liquid assets on the accounting records equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.

3. AGREEMENTS

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) serves as an investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Funds. Under the Agreements, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
     As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
     For the six months ended April 30, 2004, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its Management fee for the Short Duration Tax-Free and Municipal Income Funds, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets as set forth below. GSAM may discontinue or modify these waivers in the future at its discretion.
     Additionally, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding Management fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agent fees, taxes, interest, brokerage, litigation, Service Share fees, indemnification, shareholder meeting 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 expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.
     For the six months ended April 30, 2004, the Funds’ Management Fees, Management Fee waivers and other expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets are as follows:
                                 
Management Fee

Other
Contractual Waiver Net Expense
Fund Annual Rate Annual Rate Annual Rate Limit

Short Duration Tax-Free
    0.40 %     0.05 %     0.35 %     0.004 %

Municipal Income
    0.55       0.05       0.50       0.004  

High Yield Municipal
    0.55             0.55       0.004  

     The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or Authorized Dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal, on an annual basis, to 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. Additionally, Goldman Sachs and/or Authorized Dealers are entitled to receive, under the Plans, a separate fee for personal and account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the Funds’ average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C Shares. For the six months ended April 30, 2004, Goldman Sachs has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the Distribution and Service fees equal to 0.15% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Class B Shares of Short Duration Tax-Free. Goldman Sachs may discontinue or modify this waiver in the future at its discretion.
     Goldman Sachs serves as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Goldman Sachs may receive a portion of the Class A sales load and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges. During the six months ended April 30, 2004, Goldman Sachs advised the Funds that it retained approximately $3,000, $29,000, and $177,000 resulting from Class A sales loads in the Short Duration Tax-Free, Municipal Income and High Yield Municipal Funds, respectively, and did not retain any amounts from Class B and Class C Shares.

3. AGREEMENTS (continued)

     Goldman Sachs also serves as Transfer Agent of the Funds for a fee. Fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, Class B and Class C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
     The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted a Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan for Service Shares. These Plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount up to, on an annual basis, 0.25% and 0.25%, respectively, of the average daily net asset value of the Service Shares.
     For the six months ended April 30, 2004, the Funds’ adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive certain fees and reimburse other expenses. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian resulting in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses. For the six months ended April 30, 2004, expense reductions were as follows (in thousands):

4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

Cost of purchases and proceeds of sales and maturities of long-term securities for the six months ended April 30, 2004, were as follows (in thousands):
                 
Fund Purchases Sales and Maturities

Short Duration Tax-Free
  $ 136,301     $ 75,866  

Municipal Income
    39,720       26,453  

High Yield Municipal
    1,112,303       333,881  

Swap Contracts — The Funds may enter into swap transactions for hedging purposes or to seek to increase total return. A 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 specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset or notional principal amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.

     Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net interest payment to be received by the Funds, and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Therefore, the Funds consider the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a swap contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying reference asset or index.
     The Funds record unrealized gains or losses on a daily basis representing the value and the current net receivable or payable relating to open swap contracts. Net amounts received or paid on the swap contracts are recorded as realized gains or losses.
     Fluctuations in the value of swaps contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swap contracts. Realized gains and losses from terminated swaps are included in net realized gains/losses on swap contracts transactions. At April 30, 2004, the Funds had no outstanding swap contracts.

5. LINE OF CREDIT FACILITY

The Funds participate in a $350,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility. Under the most restrictive arrangement, each Fund must own securities having a market value in excess of 400% of the total bank borrowings. This facility is to be used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The committed facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. During the six months ended April 30, 2004, the Funds did not have any borrowings under this facility.

8. OTHER MATTERS

Legal Proceedings — Purported class and derivative action lawsuits were filed in April and May 2004, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against GSAM and certain related parties, including certain Goldman Sachs Funds and the Trustees and Officers of the Trust. The actions allege violations of the Act, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and common law breach of fiduciary duty. The complaints allege, among other things, that between April 2, 1999 and January 9, 2004 (the “Class Period”), GSAM charged the Goldman Sachs Funds improper Rule 12b-1 fees; made improper brokerage commission and other payments to brokers that sold shares of the Goldman Sachs Funds; and made untrue statements of material fact in registration statements and reports filed pursuant to the Act. Based on currently available information, GSAM believes that the likelihood that the purported class action lawsuits will have a material adverse financial impact on the Funds is remote, and the pending actions are not likely to materially affect its ability to provide investment management services to its clients, including the Goldman Sachs Funds.

The reports concerning the Funds included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Funds in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Funds, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Funds. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed. A description of the policies and procedures that the Funds use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available (i) without charge, upon request by calling 1-800-526-7384 (for Retail Shareholders) or 1-800-621-2550 (for Institutional Shareholders); and (ii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission Web site at http://www.sec.gov. This material is not authorized for distribution to prospective investors unless preceded or accompanied by a current Prospectus. Please consider a fund’s objectives, risks, and charges and expenses, and read the Prospectus carefully before investing. Under normal conditions, the Goldman Sachs Short Duration Tax-Free Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in tax-exempt securities. Although it does not expect to do so, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in private activity bonds that may subject certain investors to the federal alternative minimum tax. Investment income may be subject to state income taxes. The Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund may include securities whose income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and state income taxes. Income from the Goldman Sachs High Yield Municipal Fund may be subject to state and local income taxes and the alternative minimum tax. Also, market discount over a de minimus threshold is subject to federal taxes. High yield, lower rated securities involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its portfolio securities without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Funds will be subject to yield and total return fluctuations based on rising and falling interest rates. Long-term bonds will normally have more price volatility.
