It is our intention that beginning on January 1, 2021, paper copies of the Funds’ annual and semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from a Fund or from your financial intermediary. Instead, the reports will be made available on a website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. At any time, you may elect to receive reports and certain communications from a Fund electronically by calling the applicable toll-free number below or by contacting your financial intermediary.

You may elect to receive all future shareholder reports in paper free of charge. If you hold shares of a Fund directly with the Fund’s transfer agent, you can inform the transfer agent that you wish to receive paper copies of reports by calling toll-free 800-621-2550 for Institutional, Administration, Capital, Cash Management, Drexel Hamilton Class, Preferred, Premier, Resource, Service, Class R6 and Select shareholders or 800-526-7384 for Class A and Class C shareholders. If you hold shares of a Fund through a financial intermediary, please contact your financial intermediary to make this election. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all Goldman Sachs Funds held in your account if you invest through your financial intermediary or all Goldman Sachs Funds held with the Funds’ transfer agent if you invest directly with the transfer agent.

Recent Market Events related to COVID-19

 

While this semi-annual report covers the six month period ended February 29, 2020, we want to describe some more recent events through the end of April.

An outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has emerged globally. The outbreak of COVID-19 has prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, curfews and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, and disruption in manufacturing and supply chains. While governments have already taken unprecedented action to limit disruption to the financial system, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of and subsequent intervening measures intended to limit the spread of COVID-19. A Fund could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by such political or economic conditions, events or actions. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Funds’ performance cannot be determined at this time and will depend on future developments, including the duration and the continued spread of the outbreak. Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s long-term commitment to you, our Fund shareholders, remains unchanged. We encourage you to maintain perspective and stay current with timely commentary and investment insights by visiting gsam.com.

On March 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve of the United States (Fed) announced an emergency 1.00% rate cut. This cut was their second intermeeting move in less than two weeks, having cut 0.50% on March 3rd. Since these rate cuts, and in response to further market disruption due to COVID-19, the Fed has announced various programs in an effort to stabilize liquidity in the short-term credit markets and money market fund industry. On March 19, 2020 and March 20, 2020, Goldman Sachs Bank USA (GS Bank), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (GSAM), purchased securities at fair market value (as determined by a third party pricing service) from the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund and the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund. Per regulatory requirements, the Funds filed Form N-CRs disclosing the sale of assets to GS Bank, in addition to posting information about the transactions on the funds’ websites.

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.

INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET FUNDS

 

   

Money Market Fund

 

   

Prime Obligations Fund

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Because the share price of the Fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them. The Fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.

The returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Funds’ investment returns will fluctuate. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our Web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

 

1    Each of the Treasury Obligations, Money Market, Treasury Instruments and Treasury Solutions Funds offers nine separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier and Resource), the Federal Instruments Fund offers eight separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management and Premier), the Prime Obligations Fund offers ten separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier, Resource and Drexel Hamilton Class), and the Government Fund offers thirteen separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier, Resource, Drexel Hamilton Class, Class R6, Class A and Class C), each of which is subject to different fees and expenses that affect performance and entitles shareholders to different services. The Institutional, Drexel Hamilton Class, and Class R6 Shares do not have distribution and/or service (12b-1) or administration and/or service (non-12b-1) fees. The Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier, Resource, Class A and Class C Shares offer financial institutions the opportunity to receive fees for providing certain distribution, administrative support and/or shareholder services (as applicable). As an annualized percentage of average daily net assets, these share classes pay combined distribution and/or service (12b-1), administration and/ or service (non-12b-1) fees (as applicable) at the following contractual rates: the Select Shares pay 0.03%, Preferred Shares pay 0.10%, Capital Shares pay 0.15%, Administration Shares pay 0.25%, Service Shares pay 0.50%, Cash Management Shares pay 0.80%, Premier Shares pay 0.35%, Resource Shares pay 0.65%, Class A Shares pay 0.25% and Class C Shares pay 1.00%. If these fees were reflected in the above performance, performance would have been reduced. In addition, the Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.

 

2    The investment adviser may contractually agree to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses until a specified date. The investment adviser may also voluntarily waive certain fees and expenses, and such voluntary waivers may be discontinued or modified at any time without notice. The performance shown above reflects any waivers or reimbursements that were in effect for all or a portion of the periods shown. When waivers or reimbursements are in place, the Fund’s operating expenses are reduced and the Fund’s yield and total returns to the shareholder are increased.

 

3    The net asset value (NAV) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. A Fund’s total return reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions.

 

4    The SEC 7-Day Current Yield is calculated in accordance with securities industry regulations and does not include net capital gains. SEC 7-Day Current Yield may differ slightly from the actual distribution rate of a given Fund because of the exclusion of distributed capital gains, which are non-recurring. The SEC 7-Day Current Yield more closely reflects a Fund’s current earnings than do the Fund Total Return figures.

 

5    Source: iMoneyNet, Inc. February 2020. The iMoneyNet Institutional Average represents total return.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of net assets.

(a)

  All or a portion represents a forward commitment.

(b)

  Variable or floating rate security. Except for floating rate notes (for which final maturity is disclosed), maturity date disclosed is the next interest reset date. Interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect on February 29, 2020.

Interest rates represent either the stated coupon rate, annualized yield on date of purchase for discounted securities, or, for floating rate securities, the current reset rate, which is based upon current interest rate indices.

Maturity dates represent either the final legal maturity date on the security, the demand date for puttable securities, the date of the next interest rate reset for variable rate securities, or the prerefunded date for those types of securities.

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

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

Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service,
and Cash Management

Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource, Cash Management, and Drexel Hamilton Class*

   Diversified

 

*   Drexel Hamilton Class Shares commenced operations on September 9, 2019.

Class C Shares may typically be acquired only in an exchange for Class C Shares of another Goldman Sachs Fund. Class C Shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% during the first 12 months, measured from the time the original shares subject to the CDSC were acquired.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to management agreements (the “Agreements”) with the Trust.

The following Funds were designated by the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as “institutional money market funds” under Rule 2a-7 under the Act: Financial Square Money Market Fund and Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund (the “Institutional Money Market Funds”). Each of the Institutional Money Market Funds must price its shares at a net asset value (“NAV”) reflecting market-based values of its portfolio securities (i.e., at a “floating” NAV) rounded to the fourth decimal place (e.g., $1.0000).

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

A.  Investment Valuation — The investment valuation policy of the Funds, except for the Institutional Money Market Funds, is to use the amortized-cost method permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Act for valuing portfolio securities. The amortized-cost method of valuation involves valuing a security at its cost and thereafter applying a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Normally, a security’s amortized cost will approximate its market value. Under procedures and tolerances approved by the Trustees, GSAM evaluates daily the difference between each Fund’s NAV per share using the amortized costs of its portfolio securities and the Fund’s NAV per share using market-based values of its portfolio securities. The Institutional Money Market Funds’ investment valuation policy is to value its portfolio securities only at market-based values. The market-based value of a portfolio security is determined, where readily available, on the basis of market quotations provided by pricing services or

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

securities dealers, or, where accurate market quotations are not readily available, on the basis of the security’s fair value as determined in accordance with Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which may consider (among other things): (i) yield or price with respect to debt securities that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value.

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost.

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

D.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax exempt income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly by the Funds and may include short-term capital gains. Long-term capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. A Fund may defer or accelerate the timing of the distribution of short-term capital gains (or any portion thereof).

Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.

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

E.  Forward Commitments — A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities, typically on an extended settlement basis, for a fixed price at a future date. The purchase of securities on a forward commitment basis involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. Conversely, the sale of securities on a forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. Although a Fund will generally purchase securities on a forward commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities for its portfolio, the Fund may dispose of forward commitments prior to settlement which may result in a realized gain or loss.

F.  Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of a Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements.

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

 

88


GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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

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

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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

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

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

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

As of February 29, 2020, all investments and repurchase agreements, other than those held by the Institutional Money Market Funds, are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. All investments for the Institutional Money Market Funds are classified as Level 2, with the exception of treasury securities of G7 countries which are generally classified as Level 1. Please refer to the Schedules of Investments for further detail.

 

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

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

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

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

B.  Administration, Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted Administration, Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans (the “Plans”) to allow Class C, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource and Cash Management Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of account administration and/or personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Plans provide for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets of such shares.

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

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

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

D.  Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended February 29, 2020, Goldman Sachs has advised that it retained $912 in CDSCs with respect to Class C Shares of the Financial Square Government Fund.

E.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement. The fee charged for such transfer agency services is accrued daily and paid monthly and is equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

F.  Other Agreements — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding transfer agency fees and expenses, administration fees (as applicable), service fees (as applicable), shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.014% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 27, 2020, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees.

In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

G.  Total Fund Expenses

The investment adviser may contractually agree to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses until a specified date. As of December 2, 2019, the investment adviser has agreed to not impose a portion of the management fee equal annually to 0.06% of the Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund’s average daily net assets. This arrangement will remain in effect through at least December 27, 2020, and prior to such date, the investment adviser may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees. The investment adviser may also voluntarily waive certain fees and expenses, and such voluntary waivers may be discontinued or modified at any time without notice. From May 8, 2019 to September 12, 2019, the investment adviser implemented a voluntary temporary fee waiver equal annually to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund and Financial Square Money Market Fund. On September 13, 2019, the investment adviser reduced the voluntary temporary fee waiver to a percentage rate equal annually to 0.03% of the average daily net assets for both Funds.

During the six months ended February 29, 2020, GSAM and Goldman Sachs (as applicable) agreed to waive all or a portion of the management fees and respective class-specific fees described above attributable to the Funds. The Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM or Goldman Sachs for prior fiscal year fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any.

For the six months ended February 29, 2020, expense reductions including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements were as follows (in thousands):

I.  Line of Credit Facility — As of February 29, 2020, the Funds participated in a $580,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

 

5. TAX INFORMATION

As of the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, August 31, 2019, the Funds’ certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows:

 

     Federal
Instruments
    Government     Money

    Prime

At February 29, 2020, the aggregate cost for each Fund stated in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities also represents aggregate cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

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

 

6. OTHER RISKS

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

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

In 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) warned that LIBOR may cease to be available or appropriate for use by 2021. 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 investment resulting from a substitute reference rate may also adversely affect the Fund’s performance and/or NAV.

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

6. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s NAV and liquidity. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash or otherwise maintains a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio.

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, a Fund’s yield will tend to be lower than prevailing market rates, and the market value of its securities or instruments may also be adversely affected. A low interest rate environment poses additional risks to a Fund, because low yields on the Fund’s portfolio holdings may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s ability to provide a positive yield to its shareholders, pay expenses out of Fund assets, or, at times, maintain a stable $1.00 share price (or, for the Institutional Money Market Funds, minimize the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share). 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.

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

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

 

7. INDEMNIFICATIONS

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

 

8. OTHER MATTERS

Exemptive Orders — Pursuant to SEC exemptive orders, the Funds may enter into certain principal transactions, including repurchase agreements, with Goldman Sachs.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“GS Bank”), an affiliate of GSAM, recently purchased $1,451,565,193 of securities from the Financial Square Money Market Fund ($722,365,313 on March 19, 2020 and $729,199,880 on March 20, 2020) and $391,141,514 of securities from the Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund ($301,201,274 on March 19, 2020 and $89,940,240 on March 20, 2020). GS Bank purchased these securities from the Funds at fair market value (as determined by a third-party pricing service) to promote liquidity in the short-term credit markets and to increase the Funds’ weekly liquid assets in response to market disruptions related to COVID-19. These purchases were made in reliance on, and subject to the conditions set forth in, Rule 17a-9 under the Act and relief issued by the SEC Staff in Investment Company Institute, SEC No-Action Letter (pub. avail. March 19, 2020). The Funds were required to disclose additional information about these purchases, including information with respect to each of the purchased securities, on Form N-CR and to file this form with the SEC. The Funds’ Form N-CR filings are available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s Internet site at http://www.sec.gov.

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Institutional Shares, Select Shares, Preferred Shares, Capital Shares, Administration Shares, Premier Shares, Service Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Resource Shares, Cash Management Shares, Class R6 or Drexel Hamilton Class Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including contingent deferred sales charges (with respect to Class C Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and distribution, service, administration and/or shareholder administration fees (with respect to all share classes except Institutional Shares and Class R6 Shares) and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Institutional Shares, Select Shares, Preferred Shares. Capital Shares, Administration Shares, Premier Shares, Service Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Resource Shares, Cash Management Shares, Class R6 or Drexel Hamilton Class Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2019 through February 29, 2020, which represents a period of 182 days in a 366-day year.

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

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

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

*   Expenses for each share class are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended February 29, 2020. 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.

It is our intention that beginning on January 1, 2021, paper copies of the Funds’ annual and semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from a Fund or from your financial intermediary.

At any time, you may elect to receive reports and certain communications from a Fund electronically by calling the applicable toll-free number below or by contacting your financial intermediary.

Recent Market Events related to COVID-19

 

While this semi-annual report covers the six month period ended February 29, 2020, we want to describe some more recent events through the end of April.

An outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has emerged globally. The outbreak of COVID-19 has prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, curfews and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, and disruption in manufacturing and supply chains. While governments have already taken unprecedented action to limit disruption to the financial system, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of and subsequent intervening measures intended to limit the spread of COVID-19. A Fund could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by such political or economic conditions, events or actions. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on a Fund’s performance cannot be determined at this time and will depend on future developments, including the duration and the continued spread of the outbreak. Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s long-term commitment to you, our Fund shareholders, remains unchanged. We encourage you to maintain perspective and stay current with timely commentary and investment insights by visiting gsam.com.

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

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

 

Fund      Share Classes Offered   

Diversified/

Non-diversified

Capital Growth,

Growth Opportunities,

Small/Mid Cap Growth and

Strategic Growth

    

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

   Diversified

Blue Chip

Concentrated Growth,

Flexible Cap and

Small Cap Growth

    

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

   Diversified

Technology Opportunities

    

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

   Diversified

Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00%, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 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.

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.

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

F.  Offering and Organization Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the initial offering of shares of Small Cap Growth Fund are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the date of commencement of operations. Organization costs paid in connection with the organization of Small Cap Growth Fund were expensed on the first day of operations.

 

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 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

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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 may be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions. 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 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 Fund”) are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding the Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value 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 classified in the fair value hierarchy as of February 29, 2020:

Prior to December 28, 2019, such waiver was 0.05% with respect to Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares of the Growth Opportunities Fund. This arrangement will remain in effect through at least December 27, 2020, and prior to such date, the Investment Adviser may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees.

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 Blue Chip, Capital Growth, Concentrated Growth, Flexible Cap, Growth Opportunities, Small Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Strategic Growth, and Technology Opportunities Funds are 0.084%, 0.004%, 0.004%, 0.004%, 0.004%, 0.024%, 0.064%, 0.004%, and 0.004%, respectively.

G.  Line of Credit Facility — As of February 29, 2020, the Funds participated in a $580,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

I.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended February 29, 2020, Goldman Sachs earned $13,558, $99, $15,241, $61,369, $31 and $2,768, in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, on behalf of the Capital Growth, Flexible Cap, Growth Opportunities, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Strategic Growth, and Technology Opportunities Funds, respectively.

6. SECURITIES LENDING

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

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

In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Funds’ master netting agreements with certain borrowers provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or

 

128


GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS

 

 

 

6. SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

 

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 August 31, 2019, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable. The Funds did not have securities on loan as of February 29, 2020.

Each of the Funds and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended February 29, 2020, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

The following table provides information about the Funds’ investments in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended February 29, 2020:

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

 

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:

Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invest. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share 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.

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. 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.

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

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.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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

 

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.

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 11-12, 2020, 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 initial period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (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; and (2) an assessment of the methodologies used to classify investments into one of four liquidity categories. The report concluded that the Program was reasonably designed to assess and manage liquidity risk and was adequately and effectively implemented during the Reporting Period.

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 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 P, Class R and Class R6 Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2019 through February 29, 2020, which represents a period of 182 days of a 366 day year.

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

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

+   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 for each share class are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended February 29, 2020. 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 annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows:

 

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

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS

 

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

 

Background

The Goldman Sachs Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a newly-organized investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) that commenced investment operations on October 31, 2019. At a meeting held on October 10-11, 2018 (the “Meeting”) in connection with the Fund’s organization, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Trustees present who are not parties to the Fund’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”) approved the Management Agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”).

At the Meeting, the Trustees reviewed the Management Agreement, including information regarding the terms of the Management Agreement; the nature, extent and quality of the Investment Adviser’s anticipated services; the fees and expenses to be paid by the Fund; a comparison of the Fund’s anticipated expenses with those paid by other similar mutual funds; the Investment Adviser’s proposal to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses (with certain customary exceptions, such as taxes, brokerage fees, and extraordinary expenses); and potential benefits to be derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund. Various information was also provided at a prior meeting at which the Fund was discussed.

In connection with the Meeting, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities under applicable law. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Meeting, the Trustees relied upon information included in a presentation made by the Investment Adviser at the Meeting and information received at prior meetings of the Trustees, as well as on their knowledge of the Investment Adviser resulting from their meetings and other interactions over time.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services to Be Provided under the Management Agreement

As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that would be provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees also considered information about the Fund’s structure, investment objective, strategies, and other characteristics. The Trustees considered the experience and capabilities of the investment team and noted that the Fund’s portfolio manager was currently managing other series of the Trust. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser would be able to commit substantial financial and other resources to the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, although the Fund was new (and therefore had no performance data to evaluate), the Investment Adviser had experience managing other funds and accounts that employ similar investment strategies. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser’s management of the Fund likely would benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

Costs of Services to Be Provided and Profitability

The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates to be payable by the Fund thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services to be rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Fund, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Fund as a registered mutual fund.

In particular, the Trustees reviewed information on the proposed management fees and the Fund’s projected total operating expense ratios (both gross and net of expense limitations), and those were compared to similar information for comparable mutual funds advised by other, unaffiliated investment management firms, as well as the peer group and category medians. The comparisons of the Fund’s fee rates and total operating expense ratios were prepared by a third-party provider of mutual fund data. The Trustees believed that this information was useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses expected to be paid by the Fund.

The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Fund that exceed a specified level. In addition, the Trustees recognized that there was not yet profitability data to evaluate for the Fund, but considered the Investment Adviser’s representations that (i) such data would be provided after the Fund commenced operations, and (ii) the Fund was not expected to be profitable to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates initially.

The Trustees noted the competitive nature of the fund marketplace, and that many of the Fund’s shareholders would be investing in the Fund in part because of the Fund’s relationship with the Investment Adviser. They also noted that shareholders would be able to redeem their Fund shares if they believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the proposed breakpoints in the fee rates payable under the Management Agreement at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Fund:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Management Fee Annual Rate  

Next $2 billion

     0.85

Next $3 billion

     0.77  

Next $3 billion

     0.73  

Over $8 billion

     0.71  

The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were meant to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Fund and its shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the Fund’s projected asset levels and information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer group, as well as the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Fund that exceed a specified level. Upon reviewing these matters, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels.

Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates

The Trustees also considered the other benefits expected to be derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of the Fund; (c) research received by the Investment Adviser from broker-dealers in exchange for executing certain transactions on behalf of the Fund; (d) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Fund with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Fund on behalf of its other clients; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (g) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (h) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Fund; and (i) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Fund’s third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be open to doing business with other areas of Goldman Sachs.

Conclusion

In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement for the Fund at the Meeting, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fee that would be payable by the Fund was reasonable in light of the services to be provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s anticipated costs and the Fund’s reasonably anticipated asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s management likely would benefit the Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved with respect to the Fund.

Recent Market Events related to COVID-19

 

While this semi-annual report covers the six month period ended February 29 2020, we want to describe some more recent events through the end of April.

An outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has emerged globally. The outbreak of COVID-19 has prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, curfews and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, and disruption in manufacturing and supply chains. While governments have already taken unprecedented action to limit disruption to the financial system, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of and subsequent intervening measures intended to limit the spread of COVID-19. A Fund could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by such political or economic conditions, events or actions. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on a Fund’s performance cannot be determined at this time and will depend on future developments, including the duration and the continued spread of the outbreak. Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s long-term commitment to you, our Fund shareholders, remains unchanged. We encourage you to maintain perspective and stay current with timely commentary and investment insights by visiting gsam.com.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. ORGANIZATION

 

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

 

Fund      Share Classes Offered    Diversified/
Non-diversified

Focused Value

    

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

   Non-diversified

Equity Income, Large Cap Value,

Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value

    

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

   Diversified

Small/Mid Cap Value

    

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

   Diversified

Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00%, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 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.

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 VALUE 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

Equity Income

       Quarterly    Annually

Focused Value, Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value
and Small/Mid Cap Value

   Annually    Annually

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

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

E.  Commission Recapture — GSAM, on behalf of certain Funds, may direct portfolio trades, subject to seeking best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to a Fund as cash payments and are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments on the Statements of Operations.

 

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 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 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 may be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions. 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 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. 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. 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.

C.  Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of February 29, 2020:

#   The Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any. The Effective Net Management Rate may not correlate to the Contractual Management Rate as a result of management fee waivers that may be in effect from time to time.
*   Effective December 27, 2019, GSAM agreed to waive a portion of its management fee with respect to the Large Cap Value Fund in order to achieve an effective net management fee rate of 0.69% as an annual percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This arrangement will remain in effect through at least December 27, 2020, and prior to such date, GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees.

The Funds invest in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”) which is an affiliated Underlying Fund.

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 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, 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: 0.17% 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 P and Class R6 Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares.

Goldman Sachs has agreed to waive a portion of its transfer agency fee equal to 0.07% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares of the Large Cap Value Fund.

F.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for Equity Income, Focused Value, Large Cap Value, Small Cap Value and Small/Mid Cap Value Funds is 0.004% and for Mid Cap Value Fund is 0.104% . These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 27, 2020, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

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

For the six months ended February 29, 2020, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

G.  Line of Credit Facility — As of February 29, 2020, the Funds participated in a $580,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

6. SECURITIES LENDING

 

The Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of 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, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Funds’ master netting agreements with certain borrowers provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of set-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The Funds’ loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of February 29, 2020, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

Each of the Funds and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended February 29, 2020, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

The following table provides information about the Funds’ investments in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended February 29, 2020:

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, and differences related to the tax treatment of underlying fund 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:

Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share 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.

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. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to even greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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, including an exchange-traded fund (“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.

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 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.

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 Focused Value 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.

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

 

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 11-12, 2020, 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 initial period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (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; and (2) an assessment of the methodologies used to classify investments into one of four liquidity categories. The report concluded that the Program was reasonably designed to assess and manage liquidity risk and was adequately and effectively implemented during the Reporting Period.

 

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 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 P, Class R and Class R6 Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2019 through February 29, 2020, which represents a period of 182 days of a 366 day year.

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

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

Instead, the reports will be made available on a website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. At any time, you may elect to receive reports and certain communications from the Fund electronically by calling the toll-free number below or by contacting your financial intermediary.

You may elect to receive all future shareholder reports in paper free of charge. If you hold shares of the Fund directly with the Fund’s transfer agent, you can inform the transfer agent that you wish to receive paper copies of reports by calling toll-free 800-621-2550. If you hold shares of the Fund through a financial intermediary, please contact your financial intermediary to make this election.

Recent Market Events related to COVID-19

 

While this semi-annual report covers the six month period ended February 29, 2020, we want to describe some more recent events through the end of April.

 

An outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has emerged globally. The outbreak of COVID-19 has prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, curfews and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, and disruption in manufacturing and supply chains. While governments have already taken unprecedented action to limit disruption to the financial system, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of and subsequent intervening measures intended to limit the spread of COVID-19. The Fund could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by such political or economic conditions, events, or actions. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Fund’s performance cannot be determined at this time and will depend on future developments, including the duration and the continued spread of the outbreak. Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s long-term commitment to you, our Fund shareholders, remains unchanged. We encourage you to maintain perspective and stay current with timely commentary and investment insights by visiting gsam.com.

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Goldman Sachs Global Managed Beta Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified fund that currently offers one class of shares — Institutional Shares. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   

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

A.  Investment Valuation — The Fund’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, 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 Fund 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 Fund’s investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain and/or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Fund as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.

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

D.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the 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, the 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 the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings or capital. Certain components of the Fund’s net assets on the Statement 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 the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign

 

26


GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL MANAGED BETA FUND

 

 

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

exchange rates are included in the Statement of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS   

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

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

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

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

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Fund, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Fund’s 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 may be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions. 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 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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 Fund invests in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Fund’s shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. 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. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

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

Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence of two-way trading, at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions). Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value OTC and centrally cleared derivatives depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.

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

A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a forward contract in which the 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 at the applicable forward rate. 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, the 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 the 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 the 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 interest rate swap contracts or credit default swap contracts.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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

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

C.  Fair Value Hierarchy— The following is a summary of the Fund’s investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of February 29, 2020:

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS   

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

As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

GSAM has agreed to waive all management fees payable by the Fund, except those management fees it earns from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL MANAGED BETA FUND

 

 

 

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

Government Fund (the “Government Money Market Fund”). This arrangement will remain in effect through at least December 27, 2020, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate this arrangement without the approval of the Trustees. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, GSAM waived $1,874,979 of the Fund’s management fees.

B.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Fund for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rate of 0.02% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares.

C.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees 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 the Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Fund is 0.204%. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Fund did not have any other expense reimbursements from GSAM.

The Fund invests in Institutional Shares of the Government Money Market Fund and the shares of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF Fund, which are affiliated Underlying Funds. GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated funds in which the Fund invests. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, GSAM waived $91,601 of the Fund’s management fee.

These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 27, 2020, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Fund’s expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

D.  Line of Credit Facility — As of February 29, 2020, the Fund participated in a $580,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Fund based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Fund did not have any borrowings under the facility.

E.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — The following table provides information about the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds as of and for the six months ended February 29, 2020.

7. SECURITIES LENDING

 

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

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

In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Fund whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Fund by paying the Fund an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Fund’s master netting agreements with certain borrowers provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of set-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The Fund’s loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Fund’s overnight and continuous agreements, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of February 29, 2020, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

Both the Fund and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Fund for the six months ended February 29, 2020, are reported under Investment Income on the Statement of Operations.

The following table provides information about the Fund’s investments in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended February 29, 2020:

8. TAX INFORMATION   

As of the Fund’s most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund’s certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows:

 

Timing differences (Straddle Loss Deferral)

   $ (134,097

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL MANAGED BETA FUND

 

 

 

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

 

As of February 29, 2020, the Fund’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

Tax Cost

   $ 1,101,685,182  

Gross unrealized gain

     128,552,027  

Gross unrealized loss

     (71,361,585

Net unrealized gains (losses)

   $ 57,190,442  

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

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

 

9. OTHER RISKS   

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

Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share 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 the 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 the Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

Foreign Custody Risk — If the 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 the 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

Geographic Risk If the 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 ETFs, the Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. 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.

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

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

Sector Risk To the extent the Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers in one or more sectors (such as the financial services or telecommunications sectors), the Fund may be subjected, to a greater extent than if its investments were diversified across different sectors, to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions and developments that may be particular to that sector, such as: adverse economic, business, political, environmental or other 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 Fund. Additionally, in the course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

 

34


GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL MANAGED BETA FUND

 

 

 

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

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

Liquidity Risk Management Program

 

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

The Program is comprised of various components designed to support the assessment and/or management of liquidity risk, including: (1) the periodic assessment (no less frequently than annually) of certain factors that influence 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 11-12, 2020, 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 initial period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (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; and (2) an assessment of the methodologies used to classify investments into one of four liquidity categories. The report concluded that the Program was reasonably designed to assess and manage liquidity risk and was adequately and effectively implemented during the Reporting Period.

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of Institutional Shares of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2019 through February 29, 2020, which represents a period of 182 days out of a 366 day year.

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

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

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

 

  +   Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio (excluding proxy fee which is not annualized) for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended February 29, 2020. 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 was 0.04%.

Recent Market Events related to COVID-19

 

While this semi-annual report covers the six month period ended February 29, 2020, we want to describe some more recent events through the end of April.

An outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has emerged globally. The outbreak of COVID-19 has prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, curfews and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, and disruption in manufacturing and supply chains. While governments have already taken unprecedented action to limit disruption to the financial system, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of and subsequent intervening measures intended to limit the spread of COVID-19. A Portfolio could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by such political or economic conditions, events or actions. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Portfolios’ performance cannot be determined at this time and will depend on future developments, including the duration and the continued spread of the outbreak. Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s long-term commitment to you, our Portfolio shareholders, remains unchanged. We encourage you to maintain perspective and stay current with timely commentary and investment insights by visiting gsam.com.

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL TAX-AWARE EQUITY PORTFOLIOS

 

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

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

 

Portfolio      Share Classes Offered    Diversified/
Non-diversified

Enhanced Dividend Global Equity and

Tax-Advantaged Global Equity

    

A, Institutional, P and R6

   Diversified

Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Institutional, Class P and Class R6 Shares are not subject to a sales charge.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Portfolios pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

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

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

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

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“NAV”) calculations. Distributions from master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) are generally recorded based on the characterization reported on the MLP’s tax return. The Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund (the “Underlying MLP Fund”) records its pro-rata share of the income/loss and capital gains/losses, allocated from the underlying partnerships and adjusts the cost basis of the underlying partnerships accordingly. Income distributions are recognized as capital gains or income in the financial statements in accordance with the character that is distributed.

For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.

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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

own different proportions of the Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by each Portfolio will vary.

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

 

Portfolio         Income Distributions
Declared/Paid
   Capital Gains Distributions
Declared/Paid

Enhanced Dividend Global Equity

      

Quarterly

   Annually

Tax-Advantaged Global Equity

      

Annually

   Annually

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

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

E.  Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of a Portfolio are maintained in 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 Portfolios’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The 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 Portfolios, 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 Portfolios’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

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

Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a 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 may be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions. 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 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) — Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the NAV per share on the day of valuation. Because the Portfolios invest primarily in other mutual funds that fluctuate in value, the Portfolios’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

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

Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence of two-way trading, at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions). Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value OTC and centrally cleared derivatives depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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

A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a forward contract in which a Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward rate. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

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

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Portfolio’s investments may be determined under 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 Portfolio’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 Portfolios’ investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of February 29, 2020:

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

 

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

As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Portfolios’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.15% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to achieve an effective net rate of 0.08% as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets of each Portfolio through at least December 27, 2020, and prior to such date, GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees.

B.  Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plan — The Trust, on behalf of Class A Shares of each Portfolio, has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A Shares of the Portfolios.

C.  Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Portfolios pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge. During the six months ended February 29, 2020, Goldman Sachs retained front-end sales charges of $12 for the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio.

D.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolios 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: 0.17% of the average daily net assets of Class A Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares.

E.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Portfolios (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Portfolios are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Portfolios is 0.014%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 27, 2020, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Portfolios have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Portfolios’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

For the six months ended February 29, 2020, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

         1,024,754          77,394          37,736          1,139,884  

F.  Line of Credit Facility — As of February 29, 2020, the Portfolios participated in a $580,000,000 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 Portfolios based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Portfolios did not have any borrowings under the facility.

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

 

As of February 29, 2020, the Portfolios’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

      Enhanced Dividend
Global Equity
      

Tax-Advantaged

Tax cost

   $ 517,087,424        $ 2,201,291,083

Net unrealized gain

   $ 42,712,274        $ 552,653,076  

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 and net mark to market gains (loss) on foreign currency contracts.

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

 

8. OTHER RISKS

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

Derivatives Risk — The Portfolios’ use of derivatives 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 Portfolios. 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.

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

Foreign 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 and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in share 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 Portfolio or an Underlying 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 Portfolio or an Underlying Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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

Investments in the Underlying Funds — The Portfolios invest primarily in a combination of Underlying Funds, and are subject to the risk factors associated with the investments of those Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of assets allocated to each. As of February 29, 2020, the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio invested 43.8% and 21.3% of its net assets in the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund (the “U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund”) and the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund (the “International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund”), respectively. Because of the high concentration of its assets in these Underlying Funds, the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio has greater exposure to the risks associated with these Underlying Funds than it does to the risks associated with the other Underlying Funds in which it invests. The U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund invests primarily in dividend paying equity investments in large-capitalization U.S. issuers, with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of the S&P 500® Index at the time of investment. This Underlying Fund expects that, under normal circumstances, it will write (sell) call options on the S&P 500® Index or related exchange-traded funds in an amount that is between 20% and 75% of the value of its portfolio. The International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying equity investments in non-U.S. issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of capitalization of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe, Australasia, Far East (“EAFE”) Index (“MSCI EAFE Index”) at the time of investment. This Underlying Fund expects that, under normal circumstances, it will write (sell) call options on the MSCI EAFE Index, other national or regional stock market indices or related exchange-traded funds in an amount that is between 20% and 75% of the value of its portfolio.

As of February 29, 2020, the Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio invested 51.0% and 21.5% of its net assets in the Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund (the “U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund”) and the Goldman Sachs International Tax-Managed Equity Fund (the “International Tax-Managed Equity Fund”), respectively. Because of the high concentration of its assets in these Underlying Funds, the Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio has greater exposure to the risks associated with these Underlying Funds than it does to the risks associated with the other Underlying Funds in which it invests. The U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund invests primarily in equity investments in U.S. issuers. This Underlying Fund will seek to maintain risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the Russell 3000 Index. The International Tax-Managed Equity Fund invests primarily in equity investments in non-U.S. issuers. This Underlying Fund will seek to maintain risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the MSCI EAFE Index. The investment adviser may seek tax-efficiency by offsetting gains and losses, limiting portfolio turnover or selling high tax basis securities for both Underlying Funds.

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

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

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

Liquidity Risk — A Portfolio or an Underlying 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 Portfolio or Underlying 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 Portfolio or Underlying Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If a Portfolio or Underlying Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Portfolio’s or Underlying 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 mutual 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 Portfolios’ investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Portfolio’s or Underlying Fund’s liquidity.

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

 

9. INDEMNIFICATIONS

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

 

10. 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s liquidity risk, i.e., the risk that a Portfolio is unable to satisfy redemption requests without significantly diluting remaining investors’ interests in the Portfolio. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has designated GSAM, each Portfolio’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 Portfolio’s liquidity risk; (2) the periodic classification (no less frequently than monthly) of a Portfolio’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 Portfolio that does not invest primarily in “highly liquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4), the determination of a minimum percentage of the Portfolio’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 11-12, 2020, 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 initial period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (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; and (2) an assessment of the methodologies used to classify investments into one of four liquidity categories. The report concluded that the Program was 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 Portfolio’s prospectus for more information regarding the Portfolio’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks to which it may be subject.

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL TAX-AWARE EQUITY PORTFOLIOS

 

Portfolio Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2019 through February 29, 2020, which represents a period of 182 days of a 366 day year.

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

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

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

  *   Expenses are calculated using each Portfolio’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended February 29, 2020. 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 Portfolios included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Portfolios in the future. These statements are based on Portfolio management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Portfolios, 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 Portfolios. 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 Portfolios use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information regarding how a Portfolio 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 Portfolios 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.

Recent Market Events related to COVID-19

 

 

While this semi-annual report covers the six month period ended February 29, 2020, we want to describe some more recent events through the end of April.

An outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has emerged globally. The outbreak of COVID-19 has prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, curfews and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, and disruption in manufacturing and supply chains. While governments have already taken unprecedented action to limit disruption to the financial system, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of and subsequent intervening measures intended to limit the spread of COVID-19. A Fund could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by such political or economic conditions, events or actions. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Funds’ performance cannot be determined at this time and will depend on future developments, including the duration and the continued spread of the outbreak. Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s long-term commitment to you, our Fund shareholders, remains unchanged. We encourage you to maintain perspective and stay current with timely commentary and investment insights by visiting gsam.com.

On March 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve of the United States (Fed) announced an emergency 1.00% rate cut. This cut was their second intermeeting move in less than two weeks, having cut 0.50% on March 3rd. Since these rate cuts, and in response to further market disruption due to COVID-19, the Fed has announced various programs in an effort to stabilize the short-term credit markets and liquidity in the money market fund industry.

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

 

1    The Money Market Fund offers seven separate classes of shares (Class I, Administration, Service, Resource, Cash Management, Class A and Class C Shares) and the Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund offers eleven separate classes of shares (Class I, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource, Cash Management, Class A and Class C Shares), each of which is subject to different fees and expenses that affect performance and entitles shareholders to different services. The Class I Shares do not have distribution and/or service (12b-1) or administration and/or service (non-12b-1) fees. The Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource, Cash Management, Class A and Class C Shares offer financial institutions the opportunity to receive fees for providing certain distribution, administrative support and/or shareholder services (as applicable). As an annualized percentage of average daily net assets, these share classes pay combined distribution and/or service (12b-1) or administration and/or service (non-12b-1) fees (as applicable) at the following contractual rates: Select Shares pay 0.03%, Preferred Shares pay 0.10%, Capital Shares pay 0.15%, Administration Shares pay 0.25%, Premier Shares pay 0.35%, Service Shares pay 0.50%, Resource Shares pay 0.65%, Cash Management Shares pay 0.80%, Class A Shares pay 0.25%, and Class C Shares pay 1.00%. If these fees were reflected in the above performance, performance would have been reduced. In addition, the Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.

 

2   The investment adviser may contractually agree to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses until a specified date. The investment adviser may also voluntarily waive certain fees and expenses, and such voluntary waivers may be discontinued or modified at any time without notice. The performance shown above reflects any waivers or reimbursements that were in effect for all or a portion of the periods shown. When waivers or reimbursements are in place, the Fund’s operating expenses are reduced and the Fund’s yield and total returns to the shareholder are increased.

 

3    The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. A Fund’s total return assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions.

 

4    The SEC 7-Day Current Yield is calculated in accordance with securities industry regulations and does not include net capital gains. SEC 7-Day Current Yield may differ slightly from the actual distribution rate of a given Fund because of the exclusion of distributed capital gains, which are non-recurring. The SEC 7-Day Current Yield more closely reflects a Fund’s current earnings than do the Fund Total Return figures.

 

5    Source: iMoneyNet, Inc. February 2020. The iMoneyNet Institutional Average represents total return.

 

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

 

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

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS

 

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

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

 

Fund      Share Classes Offered    Diversified/
Non-Diversified

Investor Money Market

    

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

   Diversified

Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market

    

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

   Diversified

Class C Shares may typically be acquired only in an exchange for Class C Shares of another Goldman Sachs Fund. Class C Shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% during the first 12 months, measured from the time the original shares subject to the CDSC were acquired.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to management agreements (the “Agreements”) with the Trust.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

A.  Investment Valuation — The investment valuation policy of the Funds is to use the amortized-cost method permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Act for valuing portfolio securities. The amortized-cost method of valuation involves valuing a security at its cost and thereafter applying a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Normally, a security’s amortized cost will approximate its market value. Under procedures and tolerances approved by the Board of Trustees

(“Trustees”), GSAM evaluates daily the difference between each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share using the amortized costs of its portfolio securities and the Fund’s NAV per share using market-based values of its portfolio securities. The market-based value of a portfolio security is determined, where readily available, on the basis of market quotations provided by pricing services or securities dealers, or, where accurate market quotations are not readily available, on the basis of the security’s fair value as determined in accordance with Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which may consider (among other things): (i) yield or price with respect to debt securities that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value.

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost.

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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

D.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly by the Funds and may include short-term capital gains. Long-term capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. A Fund may defer or accelerate the timing of the distribution of short-term capital gains (or any portion thereof).

Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.

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

E.  Forward Commitments — A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities, typically on an extended settlement basis, for a fixed price at a future date. The purchase of securities on a forward commitment basis involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. Conversely, the sale of securities on a forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. Although a Fund will generally purchase securities on a forward commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities for its portfolio, the Fund may dispose of forward commitments prior to settlement which may result in a realized gain or loss.

F.  Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of a Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements.

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

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

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

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

 

32


GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS

 

 

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

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

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

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

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

As of February 29, 2020, all investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Please refer to the Schedules of Investments for further detail.

 

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

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

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

B.  Administration, Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted Administration, Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans (the “Plans”) to allow Class C, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource and Cash Management Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of account administration and/or personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Plans provide for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets of such shares.

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

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

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

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

D.  Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended February 29, 2020, Goldman Sachs has advised that it did not retain any CDSCs with respect to Class C Shares of the Funds.

E.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement. The fee charged for such transfer agency services is accrued daily and paid monthly and is equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

F.  Other Agreements — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding transfer agency fees and expenses, administration fees (as applicable), service fees (as applicable), shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.014% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 27, 2020, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees.

In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

5. TAX INFORMATION

 

As of the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, August 31, 2019, the Funds’ capital loss carryforwards and certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows:

 

      Investor

       Investor

Capital loss carryforward

   $        $ (6,650

Timing differences (Distribution Payable and Post-October Capital Loss Deferral)

   $ (261,937      $ (1,139,569

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

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

 

6. OTHER RISKS

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

Floating and Variable Rate Obligations Risk — Floating rate and variable rate obligations are debt instruments issued by

companies or other entities with interest rates that reset periodically (typically, daily, monthly, quarterly, or semiannually) in

response to changes in the market rate of interest on which the interest rate is based. For floating and variable rate obligations,

there may be a lag between an actual change in the underlying interest rate benchmark and the reset time for an interest payment

of such an obligation, which could harm or benefit a Fund, depending on the interest rate environment or other circumstances. In

a rising interest rate environment, for example, a floating or variable rate obligation that does not reset immediately would

prevent a Fund from taking full advantage of rising interest rates in a timely manner. However, in a declining interest rate

environment, a Fund may benefit from a lag due to an obligation’s interest rate payment not being immediately impacted by a decline in interest rates.

In 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) warned that LIBOR may cease to be available or

appropriate for use by 2021. 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.

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

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, a Fund’s yield will tend to be lower than prevailing market rates, and the market value of its securities or instruments may also be adversely affected. A low interest rate environment poses additional risks to a Fund, because low yields on the Fund’s portfolio holdings may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s ability to provide a positive yield to its shareholders, pay expenses out of Fund assets, or, at times, maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The risks

6. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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.

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

Geographic and Sector Risk — The Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund may invest a significant portion of its total assets in certain issuers within the same state, geographic region or economic sector, which may subject the value of the Fund’s investments to risks associated with an adverse economic, business, political or environmental development affecting that state, region or sector.

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

 

7. INDEMNIFICATIONS

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

 

8. OTHER MATTERS

Exemptive Orders — Pursuant to SEC exemptive orders, the Funds may enter into certain principal transactions, including repurchase agreements, with Goldman Sachs.

 

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended  February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of Class I Shares, Select Shares, Preferred Shares, Capital Shares, Administration Shares, Premier Shares, Service Shares, Resource Shares, Cash Management Shares, Class A Shares, or Class C Shares of a Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including contingent deferred sales charges (with respect to Class C Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and distribution, service, administration and/or shareholder administration fees (with respect to all share classes except Class I Shares) and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class I Shares, Select Shares, Preferred Shares, Capital Shares, Administration Shares, Premier Shares, Service Shares, Resource Shares, Cash Management Shares, Class A Shares, or Class C Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2019 through February 29, 2020, which represents a period of 182 days in a 366-day year.

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

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

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

Recent Market Events related to COVID-19

 

While this semi-annual report covers the six month period ended February 29, 2020, we want to describe some more recent events through the end of April.

An outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has emerged globally. The outbreak of COVID-19 has prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, curfews and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, and disruption in manufacturing and supply chains. While governments have already taken unprecedented action to limit disruption to the financial system, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of and subsequent intervening measures intended to limit the spread of COVID-19. The Portfolio could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by such political or economic conditions, events, or actions. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Portfolio’s performance cannot be determined at this time and will depend on future developments, including the duration and the continued spread of the outbreak. Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s long-term commitment to you, our Portfolio shareholders, remains unchanged. We encourage you to maintain perspective and stay current with timely commentary and investment insights by visiting gsam.com.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND

 

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Goldman Sachs Strategic Factor Allocation Fund (the “Portfolio”) is a non-diversified portfolio and currently offers three classes of shares — Institutional Shares, Class P Shares, and Class R6 Shares. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Portfolio pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

A.  Investment Valuation — The valuation policy of the Portfolio and underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) is to value investments at fair value.

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“NAV”) calculations. For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.

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

D.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Portfolio is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid 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 the Portfolio’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings or capital. Certain components of the Portfolio’s net assets on the Statement 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 the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statement of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency

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

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, an Underlying Fund, are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding the Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

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

Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence of two-way trading, at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions). Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer

 

12


GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value OTC and centrally cleared derivatives depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.

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

A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a forward contract in which the Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward rate. 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, the Portfolio deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Portfolio equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.

iii.  Options — When the Portfolio writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts or credit default swap contracts. Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by the Portfolio, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.

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

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

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

For the six months ended February 29, 2020, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:

 

Contractual Management Rate                
First $2 Billion      Next $3 Billion      Next $3 Billion      Over $8 Billion      Effective Rate      Effective Net
Management Rate*^
 
  0.75%        0.68%        0.64%        0.62%        0.75%        0.62%  

 

*   GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Portfolio in an amount equal to any management fee it earns as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated funds in which the Portfolio invests through at least December 27, 2020. Prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Trustees.
^   Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated Underlying Funds, if any.

The Portfolio invests in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Portfolio in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Portfolio invests. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, GSAM waived $1,064,702 of the Portfolio’s management fee.

B.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolio 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: 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares and 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

C. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Portfolio (excluding acquired (underlying) 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 the Portfolio. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Portfolio is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitation as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Portfolio is 0.164%. The Other Expense limitation will remain in place through at least December 27, 2020, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Portfolio has entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Portfolio’s expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitation described above. During the six-months ended February 29, 2020, no amounts were reimbursed pursuant to this arrangement

D. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 29, 2020, the Portfolio participated in a $580,000,000 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 Portfolio based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Portfolio did not have any borrowings under the facility.

E. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended February 29, 2020, Goldman Sachs did not earn any brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Portfolio.

As of February 29, 2020, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of approximately 100% of Class R6 Shares of the Portfolio.

7. TAX INFORMATION

 

As of the Portfolio’s most recent fiscal year end, August 31, 2019, the Portfolio’s capital loss carryforwards and certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows:

Capital loss carryforwards:

        

Perpetual Long-Term

   $ (2,908,755

Timing Differences (Late Year Loss Deferral)

   $ (5,982,115

As of February 29, 2020, the Portfolio’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

Tax Cost

       $ 1,267,047,159  

Gross unrealized gain

       5,763,347  

Gross unrealized loss

          

Net unrealized gains (losses) on securities

       $ 5,763,347  

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, options contracts and foreign currency contracts.

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

 

8. OTHER RISKS

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

Derivatives Risk — The Portfolio’s use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Portfolio. 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 Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Portfolio invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share 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 the Portfolio has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

Foreign Custody Risk — If the Portfolio invests in foreign securities, the Portfolio may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Portfolio’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

 

17


GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

countries may place limitations on the Portfolio’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 the Portfolio focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, the Portfolio 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.

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Portfolio.

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. 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.

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

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

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Portfolio trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). The value of the securities in which the Portfolio 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 in infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact the Portfolio and its investments.

 

18


GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND

 

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

Additionally, the Portfolio may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

 

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 Portfolio. Additionally, in the course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

 

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

Liquidity Risk Management Program

 

The Portfolio has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act. The Program seeks to assess and manage the Portfolio’s liquidity risk, i.e., the risk that the Portfolio is unable to satisfy redemption requests without significantly diluting remaining investors’ interests in the Portfolio. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has designated GSAM, the Portfolio’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 Portfolio’s liquidity risk; (2) the periodic classification (no less frequently than monthly) of a Portfolio’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 Portfolio that does not invest primarily in “highly liquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4), the determination of a minimum percentage of the Portfolio’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 11-12, 2020, 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 initial period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (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; and (2) an assessment of the methodologies used to classify investments into one of four liquidity categories. The report concluded that the Program was 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 Portfolio’s prospectus for more information regarding the Portfolio’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks to which it may be subject.

Portfolio Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of Institutional, Class P or Class R6 Shares of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Institutional, Class P, and Class R6 Shares of the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2019 through February 29, 2020, which represents a period of 182 days in a 366 day year.

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

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

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

  *   Expenses are calculated using the Portfolio’s annualized net expense ratio (excluding proxy fee which is not annualized) for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended February 29, 2020. 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: 0.69% for Institutional Shares, 0.68% for Class P Shares and 0.66% for Class R6 Shares.

The reports concerning the Portfolio included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Portfolio in the future. These statements are based on Portfolio management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio. 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.

Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund

It is our intention that beginning on January 1, 2021, paper copies of the Portfolio’s annual and semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Portfolio or from your financial intermediary. Instead, the reports will be made available on a website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. At any time, you may elect to receive reports and certain communications from the Portfolio electronically by calling the toll-free number below or by contacting your financial intermediary.

You may elect to receive all future shareholder reports in paper free of charge. If you hold shares of the Portfolio directly with the Portfolio’s transfer agent, you can inform the transfer agent that you wish to receive paper copies of reports by calling toll-free 800-621-2550. If you hold shares of the Portfolio through a financial intermediary, please contact your financial intermediary to make this election.

Recent Market Events related to COVID-19

 

While this semi-annual report covers the six month period ended February 29, 2020, we want to describe some more recent events through the end of April.

An outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has emerged globally. The outbreak of COVID-19 has prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, curfews and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, and disruption in manufacturing and supply chains. While governments have already taken unprecedented action to limit disruption to the financial system, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of and subsequent intervening measures intended to limit the spread of COVID-19. The Portfolio could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by such political or economic conditions, events, or actions. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Portfolio’s performance cannot be determined at this time and will depend on future developments, including the duration and the continued spread of the outbreak. Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s long-term commitment to you, our Portfolio shareholders, remains unchanged. We encourage you to maintain perspective and stay current with timely commentary and investment insights by visiting gsam.com.

  PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

     September 1, 2019–February 29, 2020     

Portfolio Total Return

(based on NAV)1

   

ICE® BofAML® U.S.  Dollar Three-

Month LIBOR Constant Maturity

Index2

 
  Institutional        -1.05     1.14
  Class P        -1.02       1.14  
    Class R6        -1.01       1.14  

 

  1   The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Portfolio (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Portfolio’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.

 

  2   The ICE® BofAML® U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the “Index”) tracks the performance of a synthetic asset paying LIBOR to a stated maturity. The Index is based on the assumed purchase at par of a synthetic instrument having exactly its stated maturity and with a coupon equal to that day’s fixing rate. That issue is assumed to be sold the following day (priced at a yield equal to the current day fixing rate) and rolled into a new instrument. The Index figure does not reflect any deductions for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

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

3    The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of net assets. Short-term investments represent commercial paper. Figures in the graph may not sum to 100% due to the exclusion of other assets and liabilities. The graph does not depict the investment in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle. The Investment in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 0.4% of the Portfolio’s net assets as of February 29, 2020. The graph depicts the Portfolio’s investments but may not represent the Portfolio’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Goldman Sachs Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund (the “Portfolio”) is a diversified portfolio and currently offers three classes of shares — Institutional, Class P and Class R6 Shares. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Portfolio pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   

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

A.  Basis of Consolidation for Goldman Sachs Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund — The Cayman Commodity — TTIF, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on July 31, 2014 and is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Portfolio. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Portfolio to enable the Portfolio to gain exposure to certain types of commodity-linked derivative instruments. The Portfolio is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary pursuant to a subscription agreement dated as of July 31, 2014, and it is intended that the Portfolio will remain the sole shareholder and will continue to control the Subsidiary. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Subsidiary, shares issued by the Subsidiary confer upon a shareholder the right to vote at general meetings of the Subsidiary and certain rights in connection with any winding-up or repayment of capital, as well as the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiary. All inter-fund balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of February 29, 2020, the Portfolio’s net assets were $3,535,954,237, of which, $376,912,377 or 11%, represented the Subsidiary’s net assets.

B.  Investment Valuation — The Portfolio’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.

C.  Investment Income and Investments —Investment income includes interest income, dividend income and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“NAV”) calculations. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Portfolio 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 from master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) are generally recorded based on the characterization reported on the MLP’s tax return. The Portfolio 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, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract. Upfront payments, if any, are made or received upon entering into a swap agreement and are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Upfront payments are recognized over the contract’s term/event as realized gains or losses, with the exception of forward starting swap contracts whose realized gains or losses are recognized from the effective start date. For securities with paydown provisions, principal payments received are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities, and excess or shortfall amounts are recorded as income.

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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS   

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

 

20


GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL TILT OVERLAY FUND

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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 may be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions. 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 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 Portfolio invests in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Portfolio’s shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. 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. 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.

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

Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence of two-way trading, at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions). Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value OTC and

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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

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

A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a forward contract in which the Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward rate. 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, the Portfolio deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Portfolio equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.

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

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

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

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

A 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. The Portfolio’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Portfolio had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. If the Portfolio buys protection

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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, the Portfolio, 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. The Portfolio 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.

As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives a payment stream throughout the term of the swap, provided that there is no credit event. In addition, if the Portfolio sells protection through a credit default swap, the Portfolio 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, the Portfolio, 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. The Portfolio 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, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio bought credit protection.

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

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

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued)

 

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Portfolio mitigate its counterparty risk, the Portfolio may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Portfolio and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and certain options and swaps), and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

Collateral and margin requirements differ between exchange traded derivatives and OTC derivatives. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearing house for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives (financial futures contracts, options and centrally cleared swaps) pursuant to governing agreements for those instrument types. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Portfolio and the counterparty. Additionally, the Portfolio may be required to post initial margin to the counterparty, the terms of which would be outlined in the confirmation of the OTC transaction.

Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Portfolio from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Portfolio bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Portfolio attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that the Investment Adviser believes to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

Additionally, the netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received are based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement or similar agreements. However, in the event of a default or insolvency of a counterparty, a court could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of setoff that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws.

The following tables set forth the Portfolio’s net exposure for derivative instruments that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements as of February 29, 2020:

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

 

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

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

For the six months ended February 29, 2020, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:

 

Contractual Management Rate                    
First
$2 billion
       Next

*   GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Portfolio in an amount equal to any management fee it earns as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated funds in which the Portfolio invests through at least December 27, 2020. Prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Trustees.
^   Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any.
(a)   Reflects combined management fees paid to GSAM under the Agreement and the Subsidiary Agreement as defined below after waivers.

The Portfolio invests in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), and Class R6 Shares of the Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund, which are affiliated Underlying Funds. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Portfolio in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests, except those management fees it earns from the Portfolio’s investment of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Government Money Market Fund. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, GSAM waived $841,363 of the Portfolio’s management fee.

GSAM also provides management services to the Subsidiary pursuant to a Subsidiary Management Agreement (the “Subsidiary Agreement”) and is entitled to a management fee accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.42% of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets. In consideration of the Subsidiary’s management fee, and for as long as the Subsidiary Agreement remains in effect, GSAM has contractually agreed to waive irrevocably a portion of the Portfolio’s management fee in an amount equal to the management fee accrued and paid to GSAM by the Subsidiary under the Subsidiary Agreement. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, GSAM waived $859,870 of the Portfolio’s management fee.

B.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolio for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates of 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares and 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P Shares and Class R6 Shares.

C.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Portfolio (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, 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 the Portfolio. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Portfolio is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitation as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Portfolio is 0.164%. This Other Expense limitation will remain in place through at least December 27, 2020 and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Portfolio has entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Portfolio’s expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

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

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 Portfolio based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Portfolio did not have any borrowings under the facility.

7. SECURITIES LENDING

 

The Portfolio may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Portfolio’s securities lending procedures, the Portfolio receives cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Portfolio may experience delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Portfolio 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

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

In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Portfolio whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Portfolio by paying the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s master netting agreements with certain borrowers provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of set-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The Portfolio’s loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Portfolio’s overnight and continuous agreements, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of February 29, 2020, which are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

Both the Portfolio and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Portfolio’s securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Portfolio for the six months ended February 29, 2020, are reported under Investment Income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The following table provides information about the Portfolio’s investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended February 29, 2020.

8. TAX INFORMATION

 

As of the Portfolio’s most recent fiscal year end, August 31, 2019, the Portfolio’s capital loss carryforwards and certain timing

differences on a tax basis were as follows:

 

Capital loss carryforwards:

  

Perpetual Short-Term

   $ (209,487,226

Perpetual Long-Term

     (667,831

Total capital loss carryforwards

   $ (210,155,057

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

   $ (32,229,944

As of February 29, 2020, the Portfolio’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

Tax Cost

   $ 3,461,302,702  

Gross unrealized gain

     33,384,875  

Gross unrealized loss

     (57,452,852

Net unrealized gains (loss) on investments

     (24,067,977

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 underlying fund investments, and swap transactions.

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

 

9. OTHER RISKS   

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

Derivatives Risk — The Portfolio’s use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Portfolio. 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.

Floating and Variable Rate Obligations Risk — 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 Portfolio, depending on the interest rate environment or other circumstances.

Certain floating and variable rate obligations have an interest rate floor feature, which prevents the interest rate payable by the security from dropping below a specified level as compared to a reference interest rate (the “reference rate”), such as LIBOR. In 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) warned that LIBOR may cease to be available or appropriate for use by 2021. The unavailability or replacement of LIBOR may affect the value, liquidity or return on certain Portfolio investments and may result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. Any pricing adjustments to the Portfolio’s investments resulting from a substitute reference rate may also adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance and/or NAV.

GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL TILT OVERLAY FUND

 

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Portfolio invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share 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 the Portfolio has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Portfolio also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

Foreign Custody Risk — If the Portfolio invests in foreign securities, the Portfolio may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Portfolio’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 the Portfolio’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 the Portfolio focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, the Portfolio 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.

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Portfolio.

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an ETF, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. 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.

Investments in the Underlying Funds Risk — The investments of the Portfolio are concentrated in the Underlying Funds, and the Portfolio’s investment performance is directly related to the investment performance of the Underlying Funds it holds. The Portfolio is subject to the risk factors associated with the investments of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of assets allocated to each. The Portfolio that has a relative concentration of its portfolio in a single Underlying Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting that Underlying Fund, and may be more susceptible to losses because of these developments.

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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

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

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

Sector Risk To the extent the Portfolio focuses its investments in securities of issuers in one or more sectors (such as the financial services or telecommunications sectors), the Portfolio may be subjected, to a greater extent than if its investments were diversified across different sectors, to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions and developments that may be particular to that sector, such as: adverse economic, business, political, environmental or other developments.

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

Tax Risk — The Portfolio will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Subsidiary and/or commodity index-linked structured notes, as applicable. Historically, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued private letter rulings (“PLRs”) in which the IRS specifically concluded that income and gains from investments in commodity index-linked structured notes (the “Notes Rulings”) or a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary that invests in commodity-linked instruments

 

32


GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL TILT OVERLAY FUND

 

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

are “qualifying income” for purposes of compliance with Subchapter M of the Code. However, the Portfolio has not received a PLR, and is not able to rely on PLRs issued to other taxpayers. The IRS recently issued final regulations that, would generally treat the Portfolio’s income inclusion with respect to a subsidiary as qualifying income either if (A) there is a distribution out of the earnings and profits of a subsidiary that are attributable to such income inclusion or (B) such inclusion is derived with respect to the Portfolio’s business of investing in stock, securities, or currencies.

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

Short Position Risk —The Portfolio may enter into a short position through a futures contract, an option or swap agreement or through short sales of any instrument that the Portfolio may purchase for investment. Taking short positions involves leverage of the Portfolio’s assets and presents various risks, including counterparty risk. If the value of the underlying instrument or market in which the Portfolio has taken a short position increases, then the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio to the markets and therefore could magnify changes to the Portfolio’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 Portfolio. Additionally, in the course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio 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 Consolidated Statement 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

 

The Portfolio has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act. The Program seeks to assess and manage the Portfolio’s liquidity risk, i.e., the risk that the Portfolio is unable to satisfy redemption requests without significantly diluting remaining investors’ interests in the Portfolio. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has designated GSAM, the Portfolio’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 Portfolio’s liquidity risk; (2) the periodic classification (no less frequently than monthly) of a Portfolio’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 Portfolio that does not invest primarily in “highly liquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4), the determination of a minimum percentage of the Portfolio’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 11-12, 2020, 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 initial period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (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; and (2) an assessment of the methodologies used to classify investments into one of four liquidity categories. The report concluded that the Program was 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 Portfolio’s prospectus for more information regarding the Portfolio’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks to which it may be subject.

Portfolio Expenses — Six Month Period Ended  February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of Institutional, Class P and Class R6 Shares of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Institutional, Class P and Class R6 Shares of the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2019 through February 29, 2020, which represents a period of 182 days in a 366-day year.

Actual Expenses — The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the 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 in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio 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 5% return

    1,000.00       1,021.28     3.62  

 

  *   Hypothetical expenses are based on the Portfolio’s actual annualized net expense ratios (excluding proxy fee which is not annualized) and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.  
  +   Expenses are calculated using the Portfolio’s annualized net expense ratio (excluding proxy fee which is not annualized) for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended February 29, 2020. 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: 0.73% for Institutional Shares, 0.72% for Class P Shares and 0.72% for Class R6 Shares.

The reports concerning the Portfolio included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Portfolio in the future. These statements are based on Portfolio management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio. 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.

Column B Fund Policies and Procedures

POLICY ON CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

Applicability: All GSAM

This policy is applicable to GST, GS VIT, GST II, AIMS, CEFs, ETFs.

 

A.

Preamble

Pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted rules requiring annual disclosure of an investment company’s code of ethics applicable to its principal executive, principal financial and principal accounting officers. Goldman Sachs Trust, Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, Goldman Sachs Trust II, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (together, the “Trusts”) and Goldman Sachs Closed-End Funds1 (the “Closed-End Funds” and together with the Trusts, the “Registrants”) have adopted this Code of Ethics (the “Code”) pursuant to these rules.

 

B.

Covered Officers/Purpose of Code

This Code applies to the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer/Principal Accounting Officer (the “Covered Officers”) of the Registrants for the purpose of promoting:

 

   

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

   

full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Registrants files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Registrants;

 

   

compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

 

   

the prompt internal reporting of violations of this Code to an appropriate person or persons identified herein; and

 

   

accountability for adherence to this Code.

Each Covered Officer owes a duty to the Registrants to adhere to a high standard of business ethics, and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest. Each Covered Officer should encourage his or her colleagues who provide services to the Registrants, whether directly or indirectly, to do the same.

 

 

  1

This Code shall apply to any closed-end management investment company managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) or an affiliated person of GSAM, as listed in Schedule A of this Code.

C.

Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his or her service to, a Registrant. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position with the Registrant.

Certain conflicts of interest covered by this Code arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and a Registrant and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940” Act) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Registrant. The compliance programs and procedures of the Registrants and their investment advisers and distributor (as applicable) are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Registrants and their investment advisers and distributor (as applicable), of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties, be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on the investment advisers, the distributor (as applicable) and the Registrants. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in these contractual relationships and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Registrants and, if addressed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, will be deemed to have been handled ethically.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by this Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act. Covered Officers should keep in mind that the following list of prohibitions does not cover every possible situation. The overarching principle – that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Registrants – should be the guiding principle in all circumstances.

Each Covered Officer must:

 

   

not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Registrants whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Registrants;

 

   

not cause the Registrants to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Registrants;

 

   

not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Registrants to profit personally or cause others to profit, by the market effect of such transactions; and

 

2


   

report at least annually his or her affiliations and other relationships as requested in the Registrant’s annual Trustees and Officers Questionnaire.

There are some conflict of interest situations that should be discussed with the Secretary of a Registrant if material. Examples of these include:

 

   

any outside business activity that detracts from the ability of a Covered Officer to devote appropriate time and attention to his or her responsibilities as a Covered Officer of the Registrant;

 

   

the receipt of any non-nominal gifts related to the business of the Registrant that may be inconsistent with any policy on gifts established by the Registrant’s investment advisers and distributor (as applicable) from time to time; and

 

   

a direct or indirect personal financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Registrant for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

 

D.

Disclosure

Each Covered Officer:

 

   

must familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements applicable to a Registrant and its disclosure controls and procedures;

 

   

must not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Registrant to others, whether within or outside the Registrant, including to the Registrant’s trustees and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self- regulatory organizations;

 

   

should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Registrant and its investment advisers and distributor and take other appropriate steps with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate and timely disclosure in the reports and documents the Registrant files with, or submits to, the SEC and that are signed or certified by him or her; and

 

   

must cooperate with the Registrant’s independent accountants, regulatory agencies and internal auditors in their review or inspection of the Registrant and its operations.

 

E.

Compliance

It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to otherwise promote adherence with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

3


F.

Reporting and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:

 

   

upon adoption of this Code, affirm in writing that he or she has received and read this Code, and understands it;

 

   

annually thereafter affirm that he or she has complied with the requirements of this Code;

 

   

not retaliate against any person for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

 

   

notify the Secretary of a Registrant promptly if he or she knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

The Secretary of the Registrant or the Chief Legal Officer of the Registrant is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation.

 

G.

Investigations and Enforcements

The Registrants will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

 

   

the Secretary of the Registrant or the Chief Legal Officer of the Registrant will take all appropriate action to investigate any violations and potential violations reported to him or her;

 

   

violations will be reported to the Board of Trustees (or Board of Managers, as applicable) of the Registrant (the “Board”) after such investigation;

 

   

if the Board determines that a violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may, without limitation, include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment advisers, distributor or their respective boards; or recommendation of the dismissal of the Covered Officer;

 

   

the Board will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and

 

   

any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

 

H.

Other Policies and Procedures

The Registrants’ and their investment advisers’ and distributor’s (as applicable) codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

 

I.

Amendments

This Code may not be amended except in written form, which is specifically approved or ratified by the Board.

 

4


J.

Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and will be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters will not be disclosed to anyone other than the Board, the Registrants’ investment advisers and distributor (as applicable), and their respective counsel.

 

K.

Internal Use

This Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Registrants. This Code is a statement of certain fundamental principles, policies and procedures that govern the Covered Officers in the conduct of the Registrants’ business. It is not intended to and does not create any rights in any employee, investor, supplier, competitor, shareholder or any other person.
