MARKET REVIEW

 

Dividend Focus Funds

 

The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the global capital markets broadly and the U.S. equity and energy MLP markets more specifically as well as of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs Dividend Focus Funds (the “Funds”) during the six months ended April 30, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”). Attribution highlights are provided for those Funds that materially outperformed or underperformed their respective benchmark during the Reporting Period. A fuller review will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended October 31, 2022.

Market and Economic Review

Global Capital Markets

 

 

Overall, the global capital markets struggled during the Reporting Period. The MSCI World Index returned -11.30%; the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned -14.15%; and the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index returned -11.69%. The Russell 1000® Value Index returned -3.95% and the ICE BofAML BB to B US High Yield Constrained Index returned -7.16% for the Reporting Period.

 

 

As the Reporting Period began in November 2021, developed markets equities, as measured by the MSCI World Index, and emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, were resilient despite elevated U.S. inflation data. However, with the emergence of the COVID-19 Omicron variant and concerns around tighter monetary policy from the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) at the end of the month, global equities experienced a sharp sell-off, more than erasing earlier month gains, and bond yields declined. High yield corporate bonds edged down, as investor sentiment was challenged by interest rate volatility, softer oil prices, concerns about the Omicron variant and high levels of supply.

 

 

After a weak November, global equities recovered strongly in December 2021 and bond yields generally rose, as financial markets proved rather immune to rising COVID-19 cases due to the lower severity of the Omicron variant and in line with healthy economic growth globally and expectations of tighter monetary policy in the U.S. and Europe. High yield corporate bonds posted modest gains as investor risk appetite improved.

 

   

In response to higher inflationary pressures, the U.S. Fed signaled a more aggressive interest rate hike path than it had previously indicated and announced its plan to double the pace of its asset purchase tapering beginning in January 2022.

 

 

Entering 2022, the rapidly evolving outlook for inflation and Fed policy had already complicated the macroeconomic outlook, but the February Russian invasion of Ukraine significantly increased uncertainty and volatility.

 

   

For the first quarter of 2022 overall, valuations declined broadly across multiple asset classes. Credit spreads widened as bond yields simultaneously rose in response to inflationary pressures. Against this backdrop, high yield corporate bonds retreated. Global equities, both in the developed and emerging markets, declined significantly.

 

   

Fed officials raised short-term interest rates by 25 basis points in March, the first U.S. rate hike since the end of 2018. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) Fed officials also forecast six more increases by the end of 2022.

 

   

Elsewhere, the Bank of England and Norway’s central bank raised their policy interest rates. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) delivered a hawkish message but did not hike rates, signaling its asset purchases would conclude in the third quarter of 2022 and suggesting to many that ECB policymakers were more focused on upside inflation risks than on downside economic growth risks.

 

 

April 2022 proved to be another difficult month for capital markets, as both equities and fixed income markets were down sharply, pressured by sustained high inflation, hawkish central banks and the prolonged conflict in Ukraine. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.)

MARKET REVIEW

 

U.S. Equities

 

 

Overall, U.S. equities struggled during the Reporting Period. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a return of -9.65%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of -11.75%.

 

 

Persistent supply-chain disruptions, hawkish Fed policy and inflationary pressures remained the common themes during the Reporting Period, while the biggest headlines were the COVID-19 variants and the start of the yet ongoing Russia/Ukraine war.

 

 

As the Reporting Period began in November 2021, the S&P 500 Index fell, though retail earnings upside surprises and hints of easing supply chain constraints supported the U.S. equity market’s upward trajectory through most of the month.

 

   

Later in November, a $1 trillion infrastructure bill was signed into law, and Fed Chair Powell was appointed for a second term, bringing clarity to the Fed’s leadership.

 

   

However, renewed concerns around COVID-19 developments pressured U.S. equities, with the emergence of the more contagious Omicron variant triggering a sell-off. Persistently high inflation also weighed on market sentiment.

 

 

In December, the S&P 500 Index rebounded despite record COVID-19 case counts in many population centers in the U.S., as studies showed the variant was generally accompanied by milder symptoms than previous variants.

 

   

Positive seasonality and the so-called “Santa Rally” also lifted the S&P 500 Index towards the end of the month.

 

   

The Fed walked back its use of “transitory” in describing the inflationary environment, announced it would double its pace of asset purchase tapering and indicated potential interest rate hikes in 2022.

 

 

The S&P 500 Index fell in the first quarter of 2022, marking its first quarterly decline since the first quarter of 2020.

 

   

The dramatic repricing of the Fed’s interest rate hike path and expectations for a more aggressive balance sheet runoff phase were accelerated due to concerns about elevated and persistent inflation pressures.

 

   

Tensions arising from geopolitical conflict, most notably Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, also brought about concern, as commodity prices became volatile and the global supply chain came back into question.

 

   

Dampened corporate earnings momentum, the velocity and magnitude of the U.S. Treasury yield increase, and the overhang of the Omicron variant bringing about supply chain issues and worker shortages further played into the bearish narrative during the quarter.

 

 

In April 2022, the S&P 500 Index decreased, as U.S. equities remained under pressure, ending the month with its worst one-day return since June 11, 2020 and in correction territory.

 

   

First quarter inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, was reported in April, with the 8.5% year-over-year increase marking the largest 12-month advance since December 1981.

 

   

Later in the month, Fed Chair Powell confirmed a 50 basis point interest rate hike was on the table for May 2022 and that the Fed was expected to formally announce the start of its balance sheet runoff.

 

   

Geopolitical overhang brought concern, as it affected energy prices, leading, in turn, to low consumer sentiment and potentially changing consumer spending trends.

 

   

Moreover, tightening financial conditions, spans of yield curve inversion (meaning short-term U.S. Treasury yields were higher than longer-term U.S. Treasury yields) and negative real wage growth dynamics drove some recession talk.

 

   

China’s unwillingness to deviate from its zero-tolerance approach to COVID-19 and related lockdowns affecting supply chains as well as labor shortages and negative U.S. Gross Domestic Product growth for the first quarter of 2022 were also prevalent themes for the month even as the U.S. labor market remained strong and early corporate earnings reports highlighted a number of positive themes.

MARKET REVIEW

 

 

For the Reporting Period overall, all segments of the U.S. equity market declined, but value stocks significantly outperformed growth stocks across the capitalization spectrum in part as a potential byproduct of anticipated higher interest rates in the near term.

 

 

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

Energy MLPs

 

 

During the Reporting Period, commodity prices saw significant strength, with West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil and natural gas prices up 30.60% and 33.51%, respectively.

 

 

Early in the Reporting Period, commodity prices moved higher, as the market reacted to an emerging “energy crisis” amid rebounding economic activity and disciplined commodities supply.

 

   

Later in November 2021, concerns around the spread of the COVID-19 Omicron variant drove a brief but sharp sell-off in commodities and energy-related equities. The spread of the Omicron variant raised concerns about the potential impact on near-term demand. However, data suggested that although highly transmissible, the variant was “less severe,” which ultimately helped ease market fears.

 

 

Despite the brief sell-off, the fundamental backdrop for commodities remained strong heading into 2022.

 

   

U.S. oil demand continued to tick higher, and supply struggled to keep pace given years of upstream1 capital expenditure cuts, strong discipline from OPEC+2 and U.S. producers remaining focused on maximizing free cash flow.

 

   

This dynamic ultimately led to undersupplied energy markets, which were exacerbated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, given Russia’s position as a major global exporter of crude oil and natural gas.

 

 

Following the invasion of Ukraine, crude oil prices reached $128 per barrel — their highest level since 2008 — and continued to experience significant volatility through the end of the Reporting Period driven by developments surrounding the Russia/Ukraine conflict, the possibility of a European Union ban on Russian oil and potential oil demand-side concerns stemming from rising COVID-19 cases and lockdown procedures in China.

 

 

While the midstream3 energy markets traded alongside the volatility in crude oil prices during April 2022, driven by geopolitical developments and China lockdown procedures, the sector continued to outperform the broader U.S. equity markets.

 

 

For the Reporting Period as a whole, midstream energy markets moved higher alongside strong commodity prices.

 

   

The Alerian MLP Index4, which measures energy infrastructure master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), and the Alerian Midstream Energy Index5, which measures the broader midstream sector inclusive of both energy MLPs and “C” corporations, generated total returns of 13.70% and 13.90%, respectively, during the Reporting Period, significantly outperforming broader equity markets, as represented by the -9.65% return of the S&P 500 Index.

 

1    The upstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those operations stages in the oil and gas industry that involve exploration and production. Upstream operations deal primarily with the exploration stages of the oil and gas industry, with upstream firms taking the first steps to first locate, test and drill for oil and gas. Later, once reserves are proven, upstream firms will extract any oil and gas from the reserve.

 

2    OPEC+ is comprised of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia.

 

3    The midstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those companies providing products or services that help link the supply side (i.e., energy producers) and the demand side (i.e., energy end-users for any type of energy commodity. Such midstream businesses can include, but are not limited to, those that process, store, market and transport energy commodities.

The capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index, whose constituents earn the majority of their cash flow from midstream activities involving energy commodities, is disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (AMZ) and on a total-return basis (AMZX). It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

 

5    Source: Alerian. The Alerian Midstream Energy Index is a broad-based composite of North American energy infrastructure companies. The capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index, whose constituents earn the majority of their cash flow from midstream activities involving energy commodities, is disseminated real-time on a price-return (AMNA), total-return (AMNAX), net total-return (AMNAN), and adjusted net total-return (AMNTR) basis. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

MARKET REVIEW

 

 

In our view, midstream fundamentals remained, at the end of the Reporting Period, the healthiest on record.

 

   

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

 

   

At the same time, from a valuation perspective, the midstream sector screened as inexpensive, trading at a 3.1x discount to the S&P 500 Index on an enterprise value/earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) basis, which was far below the long-term average premium of 1.2x versus the S&P 500 Index.

 

   

The midstream sector continued to offer some of the highest yields in the equity asset class at the end of the Reporting Period, with the Alerian MLP Index yielding more than 7%, which was five times that of the S&P 500 Index and twice the yields of both utilities and real estate investment trusts.

 

   

Strong oil and natural gas prices supported earnings momentum across the sector with the majority of the top U.S. midstream companies beating consensus EBITDA expectations for the fourth quarter of 2021.6

 

 

The midstream sector benefited, we believe, not only from this constructive fundamental backdrop during the Reporting Period but also from technical factors including strong money flows from energy equity investors.

Fund Changes and Highlights

Goldman Sachs Income Builder Fund

 

 

Effective January 3, 2022, Alexandra Wilson-Elizondo became a portfolio manager for the Fund, joining Ashish Shah, Ron Arons, Collin Bell, Charles “Brook” Dane and Neill Nuttall.

Goldman Sachs Rising Dividend Growth Fund

 

 

While posting disappointing absolute returns, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s® 500 Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “S&P 500 Index”), on a relative basis during the Reporting Period.

 

 

The Fund’s dividend-paying investments outperformed the S&P 500 ex-Energy Index, the benchmark used for the dividend-paying growers portion of the Fund, during the Reporting Period.

 

   

While sector allocations are the result of stock selection in the dividend-paying growers portion of the Fund, having an average underweight in communication services was a significant positive contributor to relative returns during the Reporting Period. Effective stock selection in the communication services, information technology and materials sectors also added notable value.

 

   

These positive contributors were only partially offset by having an average underweight position in the utilities sector and by weaker stock selection in the utilities, financials, industrials, consumer staples and health care sectors, which detracted from relative performance during the Reporting Period.

 

   

Further, not holding certain individual stocks that outperformed the S&P 500 ex-Energy Index during the Reporting Period —including Apple, Berkshire Hathaway, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble and AbbVie — dampened relative results.

 

 

The Fund’s MLP & Energy Infrastructure Sleeve outperformed the Alerian MLP Index, the benchmark used for the MLP & Energy Infrastructure Sleeve of the Fund, during the Reporting Period.

 

   

Relative overweights to the gathering & processing and integrated sub-industries contributed most positively. These sub-industries benefited from the strong recovery in crude oil and natural gas liquid prices during the Reporting Period given that these sub-industries are close to the wellhead and therefore tend to be sensitive to commodity price movements.

 

6    Ten of the top 15 U.S. midstream companies in the Alerian US Midstream Energy Index beat consensus EBITDA expectations for the fourth quarter of 2021.

MARKET REVIEW

 

   

Stock selection in and a relative underweight to the pipeline transportation/petroleum sub-industry added value as well. This sub-industry benefited from the strong commodity backdrop but to a lesser degree, as the companies within this sub-industry generally have lower commodity price beta, or volatility of returns relative to the overall market. Our focus within the sub-industry was on what the Goldman Sachs Energy Infrastructure & Renewables Team viewed as high quality companies with strong dividend/distribution coverage, cash flow growth potential, a robust outlook for free cash flow generation and a healthy balance sheet.

 

   

These positive contributors were only partially offset by having an overweight exposure to the power generation sub-industry, particularly renewable power generation companies, which detracted. During the Reporting Period, concerns around inflation and higher U.S. interest rates drove a broad rotation from growth to value stocks, which ultimately weighed on the clean energy sector, including renewable power generation companies.

(g)

  Issued with a zero coupon. Income is recognized through the accretion of discount.

(h)

  Pay-in-kind securities.

(i)

  Bank Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. As bank loan positions may involve multiple underlying tranches for which the aggregate position is presented, the stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts on April 30, 2022. Bank Loans typically have rates of interest which are predetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London-Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders.

(j)

  This position represents an unsettled loan commitment at period end. Certain details associated with this purchase are not known prior to the settlement date, including coupon rate.

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

Income Builder

    

A, C, Institutional, Investor, R6 and P

   Diversified

Rising Dividend Growth

    

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 contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P Shares are not subject to a sales charge.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the 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. 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. 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.

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. 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.

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

 

50


GOLDMAN SACHS DIVIDEND FOCUS FUNDS

 

 

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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 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 according to the following schedule:

 

Fund         Income Distributions
Declared/Paid
   Capital Gains Distributions
Declared/Paid

Income Builder

       Monthly    Annually

Rising Dividend Growth

       Quarterly    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;

April 30, 2022 (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 Funds’, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

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

Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities will be valued at the valid closing bid price for long positions and at the valid closing ask price for short positions (i.e. where there is sufficient volume, during normal exchange trading hours). If no valid bid/ask price is available, the equity security will be valued pursuant to the Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be classified as Level 2.

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

Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share 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.

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

i.  Bank Loans — Bank loans (“Loans”) are interests in amounts owed by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers to lenders or lending syndicates. Loans are arranged through private negotiations between the borrower and one or more financial institutions (“Lenders”). A Fund’s investments in Loans are in the form of either participations in Loans (“Participations”) or assignments of all or a portion of Loans from third parties (“Assignments”). With respect to

 

52


GOLDMAN SACHS DIVIDEND FOCUS FUNDS

 

 

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

Participations, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled from the Lender selling the Participations and only upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement with respect to Participations. Conversely, assignments result in a Fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Fund may be permitted to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.

The Income Builder Fund may also enter into certain credit arrangements, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. Unfunded loan commitments represent the remaining obligation of a Fund to the borrower. A Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. A Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit of a loan. All loans and unfunded loan commitments involve interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk, including the potential default or insolvency of the borrower. Loans, including unfunded loan commitments, are marked to market daily using pricing vendor quotations and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss.

ii.  Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities — Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by residential and/or commercial real estate property. Asset-backed securities include securities whose principal and interest payments are collateralized by pools of other assets or receivables. The value of certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities (including adjustable rate mortgage loans) may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. The value of these securities may also fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers.

Asset-backed securities may present credit risks that are not presented by mortgage-backed securities because they generally do not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral that is comparable to mortgage assets. Some asset-backed securities may only have a subordinated claim on collateral.

Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two different classes: one that receives substantially all interest payments (interest-only, or “IO” and/or high coupon rate with relatively low principal amount, or “IOette”), and the other that receives substantially all principal payments (principal-only, or “PO”) from a pool of mortgage loans. Little to no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO; as a result, periodic adjustments are recorded to reduce the cost of the security until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income.

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 as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivatives contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, 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 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

 

53


GOLDMAN SACHS DIVIDEND FOCUS FUNDS

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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.

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.

A credit default swap is an agreement that involves one party (the buyer of protection) making a stream of payments to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive protection on a reference security or obligation, including a group of assets or exposure to the performance of an index. A Fund’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. If a Fund buys protection through a credit default swap and no credit event occurs, its payments are limited to the periodic payments previously made to the counterparty. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, a Fund, as a buyer of credit protection, is entitled to receive an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver to the seller the defaulted reference obligation in a physically settled trade. A Fund may also receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade.

 

54


GOLDMAN SACHS DIVIDEND FOCUS FUNDS

 

 

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

As a seller of protection, a Fund generally receives a payment stream throughout the term of the swap, provided that there is no credit event. In addition, if a Fund sells protection through a credit default swap, a Fund could suffer a loss because the value of the referenced obligation and the premium payments received may be less than the notional amount of the swap paid to the buyer of protection. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, a Fund, as a seller of credit protection, may be required to take possession of the defaulted reference obligation and pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap in a physically settled trade. A Fund may also pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade. Recovery values are at times established through the credit event auction process in which market participants are ensured that a transparent price has been set for the defaulted security or obligation. In addition, a Fund is entitled to a return of any assets, which have been pledged as collateral to the counterparty upon settlement. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations or net amounts received from a settlement of a credit default swap for the same reference security or obligation where a Fund bought credit protection.

A total return swap is an agreement that gives a Fund 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 Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

C.  Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended April 30, 2022, Goldman Sachs retained the following amounts:

 

        

 

       Front End

Income Builder

                  $ 41,438  

Rising Dividend Growth

                    10,882  

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

E.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.12% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Investor Shares of the Income Builder Fund; 0.16% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares of the Rising Dividend Growth Fund; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 and P Shares of each Fund; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares of each Fund.

Goldman Sachs has agreed to waive a portion of its transfer agency fee (a component of “Other Expenses”) equal to 0.06% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares, as applicable, of the Rising Dividend Growth Fund through at least February 28, 2023, and prior to such date, Goldman Sachs may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees.

F.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Income Builder and Rising Dividend Growth Funds are 0.004% and 0.014%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2023, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

For the six months ended April 30, 2022, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

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 April 30, 2022, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 22, 2022, the facility was $1,000,000,000.

H.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended April 30, 2022, Goldman Sachs earned $14,443 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Income Builder Fund.

7. SECURITIES LENDING

The Income Builder Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Rising Dividend Growth Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. 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 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, GSAL will and 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 GSAL or BNYM are unable to purchase replacement securities, GSAL and/or 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 April 30, 2022, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

The Income Builder Fund and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended April 30, 2022, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

As of April 30, 2022, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

      Income
Builder
       Rising
Dividend
Growth
 

Tax Cost

   $ 2,224,356,712        $ 373,001,063

Gross unrealized loss

     (134,281,889        (26,076,960

Net unrealized gains (losses)

   $ 77,620,318        $ 116,315,071  

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 and foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of partnership investments, swap transactions, market discount accretion and premium amortization, and material modification of debt securities.

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.

 

9. OTHER RISKS

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

Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment

GOLDMAN SACHS DIVIDEND FOCUS FUNDS

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.

Dividend-Paying Investments Risk — A Fund’s investments in dividend-paying securities could cause a Fund 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 Fund’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 Fund to produce current income.

Energy Sector Risk — A Fund may invest in companies in the energy sector, and will therefore be susceptible to adverse economic, environmental, business, regulatory or other occurrences affecting that sector. The energy sector has historically experienced substantial price volatility. MLPs and other companies operating in the energy sector are subject to specific risks, including, among others: fluctuations in commodity prices; reduced consumer demand for commodities such as oil, natural gas or petroleum products; reduced availability of natural gas or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering; slowdowns in new construction; extreme weather or other natural disasters; and threats of attack by terrorists on energy assets. Additionally, changes in the regulatory environment for energy companies may adversely impact their profitability. Over time, depletion of natural gas reserves and other energy reserves may also affect the profitability of energy companies.

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

On March 5, 2021, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and ICE Benchmark Authority formally announced that certain LIBOR benchmarks will cease publication after December 31, 2021 while others will cease publication after June 30, 2023. The unavailability or replacement of LIBOR may affect the value, liquidity or return on certain Fund investments and may result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. Any pricing adjustments to the Fund’s investments resulting from a substitute reference rate may also adversely affect the Fund’s performance and/or NAV.

Foreign Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation; less public information; less stringent investor protections; less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards; and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is impossible to predict. For example, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent a Fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions, and significantly impact the 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.

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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

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. The risks associated with changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and a Fund’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Funds.

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

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

Liquidity Risk — A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with a Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.

Loan-Related Investments Risk — In addition to risks generally associated with debt investments (e.g., interest rate risk and default risk), loan-related investments such as loan participations and assignments are subject to other risks. Although a loan obligation may be fully collateralized at the time of acquisition, the collateral may decline in value, be or become illiquid or less liquid, or lose all or substantially all of its value subsequent to investment. Many loan investments are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and certain loan investments may be or become illiquid or less liquid and more difficult to value, particularly in the event of a downgrade of the loan or the borrower. There is less readily available, reliable information about most loan investments than is the case for many other types of securities. Substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan obligation defaults. With respect to loan participations, a Fund may not always have direct recourse against a borrower if the borrower fails to pay scheduled principal and/or interest; may be subject to greater delays, expenses and risks than if a Fund had purchased a direct obligation of the borrower; and may be regarded as the creditor of the agent lender (rather than the borrower),

subjecting a Fund to the creditworthiness of that lender as well. Investors in loans, such as a Fund, may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws, although they may be entitled to certain contractual remedies. The market for loan obligations may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods. Because transactions in many loans are subject to extended trade settlement periods, a Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan for a period after the sale. As a result, sale proceeds related to the sale of loans may not be available to make additional investments or to meet a Fund’s redemption obligations for a period after the sale of the loans, and, as a result, a Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions, such as borrowing from its credit facility, if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.

Senior Loans hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity, and are typically secured with specific collateral, but are nevertheless usually rated below investment grade. Because Second Lien Loans are subordinated or unsecured and thus lower in priority of payment to Senior Loans, they are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured obligations of the borrower. Second Lien Loans generally have greater price volatility than Senior Loans and may be less liquid.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). The value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments. Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

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

Short Position Risk — A Fund may enter into a short position through a futures contract, an option or swap agreement or through short sales of any instrument that a Fund may purchase for investment. Taking short positions involves leverage of a Fund’s assets and presents various risks, including counterparty risk. If the value of the underlying instrument or market in which a Fund has taken a short position increases, then the Fund will incur a loss equal to the increase in value from the time that the short position was entered into plus any related interest payments or other fees. Taking short positions involves the risk that losses may be disproportionate, may exceed the amount invested, and may be unlimited. To the extent that a Fund uses the proceeds it receives from a short position to take additional long positions, the risks associated with the short position, including leverage risks, may be heightened, because doing so increases the exposure of a Fund to the markets and therefore could magnify changes to a Fund’s NAV.

 

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. 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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended  April 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, 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 and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R6, Class R or 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 November 1, 2021 through April 30, 2022, which represents a period of 181 days in a 365 day year.

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

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

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

  *   Expenses for each share class are calculated using 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 April 30, 2022. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio (excluding proxy fees) 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:

GOLDMAN SACHS DIVIDEND FOCUS FUNDS

 

Impact of Russian Invasion of Ukraine (Unaudited)

 

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

MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs Domestic Equity Insights 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 Domestic Equity Insights Funds (the “Funds”) during the six months ended April 30, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”). Attribution highlights are provided for those Funds that materially outperformed or underperformed their respective benchmarks during the Reporting Period. A fuller review of the markets and these changes will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended October 31, 2022.

Market and Economic Review

 

 

Overall, U.S. equities struggled during the Reporting Period. The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a return of -9.65%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of -11.75%.

 

 

Persistent supply-chain disruptions, hawkish Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policy and inflationary pressures were the common themes during the Reporting Period, while the biggest headlines were COVID-19 variants and the start of the yet ongoing Russia/Ukraine war. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.)

 

 

As the Reporting Period began in November 2021, the S&P 500 Index fell, though retail earnings upside surprises and hints of easing supply chain constraints supported the U.S. equity market’s upward trajectory through most of the month.

 

   

Later in November, a $1 trillion infrastructure bill was signed into law, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell was appointed for a second term, bringing clarity to the Fed’s leadership.

 

   

However, renewed concerns around COVID-19 developments pressured U.S. equities, with the emergence of the more contagious Omicron variant triggering a sell-off. Persistently high inflation also weighed on market sentiment.

 

 

In December 2021, the S&P 500 Index rebounded despite record COVID-19 case counts in many U.S. population centers, as studies showed the Omicron variant was generally accompanied by milder symptoms than previous variants.

 

   

Positive seasonality and the so-called “Santa Rally” also lifted the S&P 500 Index towards the end of the month.

 

   

The Fed walked back its use of “transitory” in describing the inflationary environment, announced it would double its pace of asset purchase tapering and indicated potential interest rate hikes in 2022.

 

 

The S&P 500 Index fell in the first quarter of 2022, marking its first quarterly decline since the first quarter of 2020.

 

   

Fed officials raised short-term interest rates by 25 basis points in March, the first U.S. rate hike since the end of 2018. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) Fed officials also forecast six more increases by the end of 2022.

 

   

The dramatic repricing of the Fed’s interest rate hike path and expectations for a more aggressive balance sheet runoff phase were accelerated due to concerns about elevated and persistent inflation pressures.

 

   

Tensions arising from geopolitical conflict, most notably Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, also brought about concern, as commodity prices became volatile and the global supply chain came back into question.

 

   

Among other concerns during the quarter were slowing corporate earnings momentum, the velocity and magnitude of U.S. Treasury yield increases and the overhang of the Omicron variant, which exacerbated supply chain issues and worker shortages.

 

 

In April 2022, the S&P 500 Index decreased, as U.S. equities remained under pressure, ending the month with its worst one-day return since June 11, 2020 and in correction territory.

 

   

First-quarter U.S. inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, was reported in April, with the 8.5% year-over-year increase marking the largest 12-month advance since December 1981.

 

   

Later in the month, Fed Chair Powell confirmed a 50 basis point interest rate hike was on the table for May 2022 and that the Fed was expected to formally announce the start of its balance sheet runoff.

MARKET REVIEW

 

   

Geopolitics continued to weigh on U.S. equities, given that they affected energy prices, which led, in turn, to a drop in consumer sentiment and a potential change in consumer spending trends.

 

   

Moreover, tightening financial conditions, spans of yield curve inversion (meaning short-term U.S. Treasury yields were higher than longer-term U.S. Treasury yields) and negative real wage growth dynamics drove some recession talk.

 

   

China’s unwillingness to deviate from its zero-tolerance COVID-19 policy and related lockdowns continued to disrupt supply chains, while labor shortages and negative U.S. Gross Domestic Product growth in the first quarter of 2022 were also prevalent market themes in April, even as the U.S. labor market overall remained strong and early corporate earnings reports appeared positive.

 

 

For the Reporting Period overall, all segments of the U.S. equity market declined, but value stocks significantly outperformed growth stocks across the capitalization spectrum in part as a potential byproduct of anticipated higher interest rates in the near term.

 

 

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

Fund Changes and Highlights

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

Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Insights Fund

 

 

While absolute returns were disappointing, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index (the “Index”) on a relative basis, during the Reporting Period, with three of its investment themes — High Quality Business Models, Market Themes & Trends and Fundamental Mispricings — adding to performance. The impact of the Sentiment Analysis investment theme was rather neutral during the Reporting Period.

 

   

High Quality Business Models seeks to identify companies that are generating high quality revenues with sustainable business models and aligned management incentives.

 

   

Market Themes & Trends seeks to identify companies positively positioned to benefit from themes and trends in the market and macroeconomic environment.

 

   

Fundamental Mispricings seeks to identify high quality businesses trading at a fair price, which we believe may lead to strong performance over the long run.

 

   

Sentiment Analysis seeks to identify stocks experiencing improvements in their overall market sentiment.

 

 

Within individual stock selection, the Fund benefited from its overweight position versus the Index in agricultural processing company Archer-Daniels-Midland and from its underweight in financial services firm JPMorgan Chase. Both positions were driven primarily by our High Quality Business Models and Market Themes & Trends investment themes. The Fund was also helped by an overweight in agricultural fertilizer maker CF Industries Holdings, which was mostly based on our Market Themes & Trends investment theme.

 

 

Among individual detractors, the Fund was hampered by underweights in Chevron, Exxon Mobil and Pfizer. The underweights in Chevron and Exxon Mobil, both integrated energy companies, were largely driven by our Sentiment Analysis and Fundamental Mispricings investment themes. Our Market Themes & Trends investment theme led to the Fund’s underweight in pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

4    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. Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding.

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.

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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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 according to the following schedule:

 

Fund         Income Distributions
Declared/Paid
   Capital Gains Distributions
Declared/Paid

Large Cap Value Insights    

       Quarterly    Annually

Large Cap Growth Insights, Small Cap Equity Insights, Small Cap Growth Insights, Small Cap Value Insights and U.S. Equity Insights

       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.

 

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).

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

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

Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities will be valued at the valid closing bid price for long positions and at the valid closing ask price for short positions (i.e., where there is sufficient volume, during normal exchange trading hours). If no valid bid/ask price is available, the equity security will be valued pursuant to the Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be classified as Level 2.

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

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.

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 as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivatives contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, 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 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.  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.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. 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 April 30, 2022:

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 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.

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

F.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets are 0.004%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2023, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

G.  Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 2022, the Funds participated in a $1,250,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended April 30, 2022, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 22, 2022, the facility was $1,000,000,000.

H.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended April 30, 2022, Goldman Sachs did not earn brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs.

As of April 30, 2022, the following Goldman Sachs Dynamic Global Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio were beneficial owners of 5% or more of total outstanding shares of the following Funds:

7. SECURITIES LENDING

Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Large Cap Growth Insights, Large Cap Value Insights, Small Cap Equity Insights, Small Cap Growth Insights, Small Cap Value Insights and U.S. Equity Insights Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. 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 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, GSAL will 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 GSAL is unable to purchase replacement securities, GSAL 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.

7. SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

 

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 April 30, 2022, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable. The U.S. Equity Insights Fund did not have securities on loan as of April 30, 2022.

Both the Funds and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned by the Funds for the six months ended April 30, 2022 are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

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

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

 

9. OTHER RISKS

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

Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.

Dividend-Paying Investments Risk — A Fund’s investments in dividend-paying securities could cause a Fund 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 Fund’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 Fund to produce current income.

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.

April 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). The value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments. Additionally, 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.

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

 

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

At a meeting held on April 13, 2022 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees of the Goldman Sachs Trust approved a reverse share split for Class C Shares of the Small Cap Growth Insights Fund (the “Fund”), pursuant to which shareholders will receive one Class C Share in exchange for every 9 Class C Shares of the Fund they currently own. The reverse stock split is intended to bring the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Class C Shares of the Fund into better alignment with the NAVs of the Fund’s other share classes and reduce the variances among the NAVs that currently exist. This is intended to reduce marketplace confusion and bring greater uniformity to the ratio of capital gains to the NAV across all share classes of the Fund. The amount of each shareholder’s aggregate investment in the Fund will remain unchanged as a result of the split. The effect of the reverse share split is to reduce the number of shares outstanding of the Fund and increase the Fund’s Class C NAV per share. The reverse share split will not be a taxable event, nor does it have an impact on the Fund’s holdings or performance. No changes are contemplated at this time for the other share classes offered by the Fund.

The reverse share split will occur on or about June 10, 2022.

 

12. 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 (Unaudited)

 

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

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

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

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

Impact of Russian Invasion of Ukraine (Unaudited)

 

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2022 (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 November 1, 2021 through April 30, 2022, which represents a period of 181 days in a 365 day year. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 International Equity Funds

 

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

Market and Economic Review

International Equities

 

 

Representing the developed international equity markets, the MSCI EAFE Index (net) returned -11.80% for the Reporting Period, underperforming the U.S. equity market, as represented by the -9.65% return of the S&P 500 Index.

 

 

As the Reporting Period began, international equity markets receded in November 2021 following a strong October.

 

   

The markets fell around fears that the new Omicron variant of COVID-19 would weigh on investor sentiment. Travel restrictions were re-imposed to curtail the variant’s spread, and lockdown measures were re-instituted in Europe. Japan’s equity market fell due to both inflation and supply-chain issues as well as concerns about the Omicron variant.

 

   

Persistently high inflation weighed on market sentiment as well.

 

 

Following the sell-off in November, international equities saw a strong rebound in December 2021, as the initial scare around the Omicron variant dissipated among studies showing its symptoms were less severe than prior variants. Also, value stocks outperformed growth stocks, which benefited international equities given their relatively high value/cyclical exposures.

 

 

During the first quarter of 2022, international equities fell, facing pressures from global concerns around rising inflation, planned interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), rising bond yields, valuation concerns, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

 

   

Major countries around the world took a public stance condemning Russia’s action and imposed various economic sanctions, including removal of Russian financial institutions from bank connectivity network SWIFT, banning transactions with the Russian central bank and halting trading of Russian securities. Such sanctions further boosted the price of crude oil in the global markets.

 

   

Driven by increased market volatility, the Fed signaled a slower than anticipated pace of monetary policy tightening while retaining a cautionary focus on rising inflation.

 

   

Hopes around the success of diplomatic talks and peaceful negotiations between Russia and Ukraine led to some market recovery toward the end of the quarter.

 

   

Still, beyond the broader concerns around the geopolitical crisis, the impact on commodity prices reinforced concerns around supply-side inflation and led markets to worry about a potential stagflation scenario—particularly in Europe. (Stagflation is characterized by slow economic growth and high inflation.) However, the corporate earnings season retained its overall strength.

 

   

Other macroeconomic uncertainties included those around regulation in China, the status of Chinese shares listed in the U.S., and slowing economic growth in China, all exacerbated by the imposition of lockdowns and manufacturing halts due to a rise in COVID-19 cases, leading, in turn, to further supply-chain issues.

 

 

International equities continued to sell off in April 2022.

 

   

Inflation continued to rise, and supply-chain issues worsened as China instituted lockdowns following a surge in COVID-19 cases.

MARKET REVIEW

 

   

More consumer-facing sectors, in particular, struggled, as they were negatively impacted by supply-chain disruptions and weak consumer confidence.

 

 

The best performing sector within the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period was energy, the only sector to post a positive total return for the Reporting Period. The weakest performing sectors were information technology, consumer discretionary and industrials.

 

 

The best performing country within the MSCI EAFE Index was Chile, the only constituent to post a positive total return for the Reporting Period. Other countries within the MSCI EAFE Index that performed comparatively well, albeit generating negative total returns, were the U.K., Australia, Norway and Hong Kong. The weakest performing countries during the Reporting Period were Poland, the Netherlands, Ireland, Austria and New Zealand.

Emerging Markets Equities

 

 

Representing the emerging markets equity markets, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) returned -14.15% during the Reporting Period, underperforming both the U.S. equity market and the developed international equity markets overall.

 

 

As the Reporting Period began in November 2021, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell sharply, as the Omicron variant of COVID-19 spread across regions, dampening investor sentiment and leading to mixed outlooks for the global economic recovery.

 

 

In December 2021, emerging markets equity markets rose. Global economic data was encouraging despite market participants closely monitoring the implications of the spread of the Omicron variant, inflation remaining top of mind for investors, and China’s heightened regulations, mainly in the technology sector, weighing on sentiment.

 

 

The MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell in each of the first four months of 2022.

 

   

In January, both growing tensions between Russia and Ukraine and rising global borrowing costs worried investors. COVID-19 cases surged and hospitalizations rose, further dampening investor sentiment around an economic recovery across emerging markets.

 

   

In February, the Russia/Ukraine situation deteriorated sharply, with Russia launching a full-scale invasion, triggering a sell-off in emerging markets equities.

 

   

In March and April, the Russia/Ukraine war continued to drive a sell-off in emerging markets equities.

 

   

Additionally in April, as inflation loomed internationally, the acceleration in global food prices rivaled the move in oil prices, creating a new set of risks for the emerging markets.

 

 

The best performing sector within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period was utilities, the only sector to post a positive total return for the Reporting Period. The weakest performing sectors were consumer discretionary, health care and energy.

 

 

The best performing countries within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period were United Arab Emirates, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar—all oil exporting countries. The weakest performing countries during the Reporting Period were Hungary, Poland, China, Egypt and South Korea.

 

   

Of the largest emerging markets equity markets, the equity markets of China, Taiwan, India, Brazil and Saudi Arabia posted total returns for the Reporting Period of -25.05%, -9.22%, -2.93%, +20.59% and +19.80%, respectively.

 

 

The MSCI Russia Index declined 52.75% in February 2022, having been a top detractor from the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in prior months as well. Tensions with the U.S. rose, as the U.S. discussed potential sanctions on the country amid rumors of a potential invasion of Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

 

   

Effective March 9, 2022, MSCI Inc. removed Russian securities from the MSCI Emerging Market Index after deeming the Russian equity market “uninvestable” amidst Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. MSCI Inc. announced the MSCI Russia Indexes would be reclassified to “standalone markets” instead of “emerging markets” across all of MSCI’s indexes “at a price that is effectively zero.”

MARKET REVIEW

 

Fund Changes and Highlights

 

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

Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Fund

 

 

The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD, Unhedged), during the Reporting Period.

 

 

Stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, especially in the financials, communication services and information technology sectors.

 

 

Having an underweight to state-owned enterprises in general particularly dampened returns. (A state-owned enterprise is a legal entity that is created by a government in order to partake in commercial activities on the government’s behalf.)

 

 

From a country perspective, stock selection in Brazil, Taiwan, China and India detracted most during the Reporting Period.

Goldman Sachs ESG Emerging Markets Equity Fund

 

 

The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD, Unhedged), during the Reporting Period.

 

 

Stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, especially in the financials, communication services and industrials sectors.

 

 

Having an underweight to state-owned enterprises in general particularly dampened returns. (A state-owned enterprise is a legal entity that is created by a government in order to partake in commercial activities on the government’s behalf.)

 

 

From a country perspective, stock selection in Brazil, Taiwan, China and India detracted most during the Reporting Period.

Goldman Sachs International Equity Income Fund

 

 

While posting disappointing absolute returns, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net, USD, Unhedged), on a relative basis during the Reporting Period.

 

 

Stock selection overall contributed positively to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, especially in the health care and information technology sectors.

 

 

Having an underweight to the consumer discretionary sector, which underperformed the Fund’s benchmark during the Reporting Period, also added value.

 

 

From a country perspective, stock selection in and having an overweight to the U.K. boosted the Fund’s relative results as did stock selection in the Netherlands and Japan. Such positive contributors were partially offset by stock selection in Italy and having underweighted positions in Australia and Hong Kong, which detracted.

As of April 30, 2022 the MSCI® Emerging Markets Index consists of the following 24 emerging market country indexes: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United Arab Emirates. For this Index, the dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the rate to nonresident individuals who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. MSCI Barra uses withholding tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index does not reflect any deductions of expenses associated with mutual funds such as management fees and other expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

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.

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.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY INTERNATIONAL FUNDS

 

 

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

D.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies 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 according to the following schedule:

 

Fund        

Income Distributions

Declared/Paid

  

Capital Gains Distributions

Declared/Paid

China Equity

       Annually    Annually

Emerging Markets Equity

       Annually    Annually

ESG Emerging Markets Equity

       Annually    Annually

International Equity ESG

       Annually    Annually

International Equity Income

       Semi-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 United States (“U.S.”) dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the 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. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

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

Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities will be valued at the valid closing bid price for long positions and at the valid closing ask price for short positions (i.e., where there is sufficient volume, during normal exchange trading hours). If no valid bid/ask price is available, the equity security will be valued pursuant to the Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be classified as Level 2.

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

Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share 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.

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

GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. 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.

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.

 

     Distribution and/or Service Plan Rates  
      Class A*      Class C      Service      Class R*  

Distribution and/or Service Plan

     0.25      0.75      0.25      0.50

 

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

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.

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

(a)   Prior to February 28, 2022, the waiver was 0.07%.

F.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the China Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, ESG Emerging Markets Equity, International Equity ESG and International Equity Income Funds are 0.114%, 0.104%, 0.124%, 0.004% and 0.014%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2023 and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and 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.

G.  Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 2022, the Funds participated in a $1,250,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended April 30, 2022, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 22, 2022 the facility was $1,000,000,000.

H.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended April 30, 2022, Goldman Sachs earned $1,304, $11, and $387 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, on behalf of the Emerging Markets Equity, ESG Emerging Markets Equity and International Equity ESG Funds, respectively.

6. SECURITIES LENDING

Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein the China Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, International Equity ESG and International Equity Income Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. 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 China Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, International Equity ESG and International Equity Income 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, GSAL will 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 GSAL is unable to purchase replacement securities, GSAL 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

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.

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

 

8. OTHER RISKS

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

Dividend-Paying Investments Risk — A Fund’s investments in dividend-paying securities could cause a Fund 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 Fund’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 Fund to produce current income.

ESG Standards Risk — The ESG Emerging Markets Equity and International Equity ESG Funds’ adherence to their environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria and the application of GSAM’s supplemental ESG analysis when selecting investments may affect the Funds’ exposure to certain companies, sectors, regions, and countries and may affect the Funds’ performance depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor. For example, the Funds will not seek to invest in companies that GSAM believes have adverse social or environmental impacts (i.e., gambling, alcohol, tobacco, coal or weapons companies), and the Funds will not seek to invest in companies that GSAM believes show inadequate governance standards (e.g., certain state-owned enterprises).

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. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which a Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that a Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in, or economically tied to, emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

 

78


GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY INTERNATIONAL FUNDS

 

 

 

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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 the 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. To the extent that a fund also invests in securities of issuers located in, or economically tied to, emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund invests in foreign securities, and as such the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to even greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are very often undeveloped and may be considerably less well regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.

Geographic Risk — If 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.

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an ETF, a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to, the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.

Issuer Concentration Risk — The Funds may invest in a relatively small number of issuers. As a result, they 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 the Funds may affect the overall value of the Funds more than it would affect a mutual fund that holds more investments. In particular, the Funds may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer in the Funds 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)

 

Liquidity Risk — A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with the Funds’ investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). The value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments. Additionally, 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.

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

 

9. INDEMNIFICATIONS

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

 

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)

 

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

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

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

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

Impact of Russian Invasion of Ukraine (Unaudited)

 

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R6, Class R or 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) and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C and Service 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 November 1, 2021 through April 30, 2022, which represents a period of 181 days of a 365 day year.

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratio 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 fee 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 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 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 and information regarding how a Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available (i) without charge, upon request by calling 1-800-526-7384 (for Retail Shareholders) or 1-800-621-2550 (for Institutional Shareholders); and (ii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) web site at http://www.sec.gov.

The Funds will file portfolio holdings information for each month in a fiscal quarter within 60 days after the end of the relevant fiscal quarter on Form N-PORT. Portfolio holdings information for the third month of each fiscal quarter will be made available on the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov. Portfolio holdings information may be obtained upon request and without charge by calling 1-800-526-7384 (for Retail Shareholders) or 1-800-621-2550 (for Institutional Shareholders).

Fund holdings and allocations shown are as of April 30, 2022 and may not be representative of future investments.

MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs International Equity Insights Funds

 

The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the emerging markets and international equity markets and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs International Equity Insights Funds (the “Funds”) during the six months ended April 30, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”). A fuller review of the markets and these changes will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended October 31, 2022.

Market and Economic Review

Emerging Markets Equities

 

 

Representing the emerging markets equity markets, the MSCI Emerging Markets Standard Index (net) (MSCI Emerging Markets Index) returned -14.15% during the Reporting Period.

 

 

As the Reporting Period began in November 2021, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell sharply, as the Omicron variant of COVID-19 spread across regions, dampening investor sentiment and leading to mixed outlooks for the global economic recovery.

 

 

In December 2021, emerging markets equities rose. Global economic data was encouraging despite market participants closely monitoring the implications of the spread of the Omicron variant, inflation remaining top of mind for investors, and China’s heightened regulations, mainly in the technology sector, weighing on sentiment.

 

 

The MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell in each of the first four months of 2022.

 

   

In January, both growing tensions between Russia and Ukraine and rising global borrowing costs worried investors. COVID-19 cases surged and hospitalizations rose, further dampening investor sentiment around an economic recovery across emerging markets.

 

   

In February, the Russia/Ukraine situation deteriorated sharply, with Russia launching a full-scale invasion, triggering a sell-off in emerging markets equities.

 

   

In March and April, the Russia/Ukraine war continued to drive a sell-off in emerging markets equities.

 

   

Additionally in April, as inflation loomed internationally, the acceleration in global food prices rivaled the increase in oil prices, creating a new set of risks for the emerging markets.

 

 

The best performing sector within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period was utilities, the only sector to post a positive total return for the Reporting Period. The weakest performing sectors were consumer discretionary, health care and energy.

 

 

The best performing countries within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period were United Arab Emirates, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar — all oil exporting countries. The weakest performing countries during the Reporting Period were Hungary, Poland, China, Egypt and South Korea.

 

 

The MSCI Russia Index declined 52.75% in February 2022, having been a top detractor from the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in prior months as well.

 

   

Effective March 9, 2022, MSCI Inc. removed Russian securities from the MSCI Emerging Markets Index after deeming the Russian equity market “uninvestable” amidst Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. MSCI Inc. announced the MSCI Russia Indexes would be reclassified to “standalone markets” instead of “emerging markets” across all of MSCI’s indexes “at a price that is effectively zero.”

International Equities

 

 

Representing the developed international equity markets, the MSCI EAFE Standard Index (net) (MSCI EAFE Index) returned -11.80% for the Reporting Period.

MARKET REVIEW

 

 

As the Reporting Period began, international equity markets receded in November 2021 following a strong October.

 

   

The markets fell around fears that the new Omicron variant of COVID-19 would weigh on investor sentiment. Travel restrictions were re-imposed to curtail the variant’s spread, and lockdown measures were re-instituted in Europe. Japan’s equity market fell due to both inflation and supply-chain issues as well as concerns about the Omicron variant.

 

   

Persistently high inflation weighed on market sentiment as well.

 

 

In December 2021, international equities experienced a strong rebound, as the initial scare around the Omicron variant dissipated amid studies showing its symptoms were less severe than prior variants. Also, value stocks generally outperformed growth stocks, which benefited international equities given their relatively high value/cyclical exposures.

 

 

During the first quarter of 2022, international equities fell, facing pressures from global concerns around rising inflation, planned interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), rising bond yields, valuation concerns, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

 

   

Major countries around the world took a public stance condemning Russia’s invasion and imposed various economic sanctions, including removal of Russian financial institutions from bank connectivity network SWIFT, banning transactions with the Russian central bank and halting trading of Russian securities. Such sanctions further boosted the price of crude oil in the global markets.

 

   

Driven by increased market volatility, the Fed signaled a slower than anticipated pace of monetary policy tightening while retaining a cautionary focus on rising inflation. That said, Fed officials raised short-term interest rates by 25 basis points in March, the first U.S. rate hike since the end of 2018. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.)

 

   

Hopes around the success of diplomatic talks and peaceful negotiations between Russia and Ukraine led to some market recovery toward the end of the first calendar quarter.

 

   

Still, beyond the broader concerns around the geopolitical crisis, the impact on commodity prices reinforced concerns around supply-side inflation and led to worries about a potential stagflation scenario — particularly in Europe. (Stagflation is characterized by slow economic growth and high inflation.) However, the corporate earnings season retained its overall strength.

 

   

Other macroeconomic uncertainties included those around regulation in China, the status of Chinese shares listed in the U.S., and slowing economic growth in China, all exacerbated by the imposition of lockdowns and manufacturing halts due to a rise in COVID-19 cases, leading, in turn, to further supply-chain issues.

 

 

International equities continued to sell off in April 2022.

 

   

Inflation continued to rise, and supply-chain issues worsened as China instituted lockdowns following a surge in COVID-19 cases.

 

   

More consumer-facing sectors, in particular, struggled, as they were negatively impacted by supply-chain disruptions and weak consumer confidence.

 

 

The best performing sector within the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period was energy, the only sector to post a positive total return for the Reporting Period. The weakest performing sectors were information technology, consumer discretionary and industrials.

 

 

The best performing country within the MSCI EAFE Index was Chile, the only constituent to post a positive total return for the Reporting Period. Other countries within the MSCI EAFE Index that performed comparatively well, albeit generating negative total returns, were the U.K., Australia, Norway and Hong Kong. The weakest performing countries during the Reporting Period were Poland, the Netherlands, Ireland, Austria and New Zealand.

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

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.

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 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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS   

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

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

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;

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

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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

Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities will be valued at the valid closing bid price for long positions and at the valid closing ask price for short positions (i.e. where there is sufficient volume, during normal exchange trading hours). If no valid bid/ask price is available, the equity security will be valued pursuant to the Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be classified as Level 2.

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

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.

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 as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivatives contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, 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 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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.

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.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. 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 April 30, 2022:

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES

 

The following table sets forth, by certain risk types, the gross value of derivative contracts (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) as of April 30, 2022. These instruments were used as part of the Funds’ investment strategies and to obtain and/or manage exposure related to the risks below. The values in the tables below exclude the effects of cash collateral received or posted pursuant to these derivative contracts, and therefore are not representative of the Funds’ net exposure:

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

The Emerging Markets Equity Insights, International Equity Insights and International Small Cap Insights Funds invest in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Funds in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Funds invest, except those management fees it earns from the Funds’ investments of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2022, GSAM waived $4,012 and $189 of the Emerging Markets Equity Insights and International Equity Insights Funds’ management fees, respectively.

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.

      Class A*      Class C      Service Shares      Class R*  

Distribution and/or Service Plan

     0.25      0.75      0.25      0.50

 

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

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

F.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for Emerging Markets Equity Insights, International Equity Insights and International Small Cap Insights Funds are 0.054%, 0.004% and 0.014%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2023, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and 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 April 30, 2022, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

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 April 30, 2022, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 22, 2022 the facility was $1,000,000,000.

H.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended April 30, 2022, Goldman Sachs earned $0 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions from the Funds.

7. SECURITIES LENDING

Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. 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 Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust.

GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL EQUITY INSIGHTS 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, GSAL will 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 GSAL is unable to purchase replacement securities, GSAL 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 April 30, 2022, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

Each of the Funds and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended April 30, 2022, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

   $ (61,430,204      $ (48,395,926      $ (95,692,867

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, net mark to market gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.

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

 

9. OTHER RISKS

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

Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.

Foreign 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,

 

68


GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL EQUITY INSIGHTS FUNDS

 

 

 

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which a Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that a Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in, or economically tied to, emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

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 the 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. To the extent that a fund also invests in securities of issuers located in, or economically tied to, emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund invests in foreign securities, and as such the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to even greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are very often undeveloped and may be considerably less well regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.

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

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

Liquidity Risk — A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. These risks may be more pronounced in connection

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

with the Funds’ investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). The value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments. Additionally, 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.

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

 

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. 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 (Unaudited)

 

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

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

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

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

Impact of Russian Invasion of Ukraine (Unaudited)

 

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R6, Class R or 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) and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C, 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 November 1, 2021 through April 30, 2022, which represents a period of 181 days of a 365 day year.

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratio 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.

  +   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 April 30, 2022. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows:

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 and information regarding how a Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available (i) without charge, upon request by calling 1-800-526-7384 (for Retail Shareholders) or 1-800-621-2550 (for Institutional Shareholders); and (ii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission web site at http://www.sec.gov.

Economic and market forecasts presented herein reflect a series of assumptions and judgments as of the date of this presentation and are subject to change without notice. These forecasts do not take into account the specific investment objectives, restrictions, tax and financial situation or other needs of any specific client. Actual data will vary and may not be reflected here. These forecasts are subject to high levels of uncertainty that may affect actual performance. Accordingly, these forecasts should be viewed as merely representative of a broad range of possible outcomes. These forecasts are estimated, based on assumptions, and are subject to significant revision and may change materially as economic and market conditions change. Goldman Sachs has no obligation to provide updates or changes to these forecasts. Case studies and examples are for illustrative purposes only.

The Funds will file their portfolio holdings for each month in a fiscal quarter within 60 days after the end of the relevant fiscal quarter on Form N-PORT. Portfolio holdings information for the third month of each fiscal quarter will be made available on the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov. Portfolio holdings information may be obtained upon request and without charge by calling 1-800-526-7384 (for Retail Shareholders) or 1-800-621-2550 (for Institutional Shareholders).

Fund holdings and allocations shown are unaudited, and may not be representative of current or future investments. Fund holdings and allocations may not include the Fund’s entire investment portfolio, which may change at any time. Fund holdings should not be relied on in making investment decisions and should not be construed as research or investment advice regarding particular securities. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

The portfolio risk management process includes an effort to monitor and manage risk, but does not imply low risk. Diversification does not protect an investor from market risk and does not ensure a profit.
