Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund
|
Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategy The Fund seeks total return through current income and capital appreciation. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in U.S. and non-U.S. equity or fixed income securities issued by energy infrastructure companies, including master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and “C” corporations. The Fund’s investments in MLPs will consist of at least 25% of the Fund’s total assets as measured at the time of purchase. The Fund intends to concentrate its investments in the energy sector. |
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Energy and Infrastructure Team discusses the Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 15.84%, 14.97%, 16.22%, 16.11%, 16.26%, 15.52% and 16.25%, respectively. These returns compare to the 23.29% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Alerian MLP Index (Total Return, Unhedged, USD). The Alerian MLP Index is the leading gauge of energy infrastructure master limited partnerships (“MLPs”).1 |
Q | How did energy-related securities overall perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | Energy-related equities generated mixed results during the Reporting Period, as commodity prices declined. Brent crude oil prices fell 3.04%, while natural gas prices were more challenged, with U.S. Henry Hub2 prices down 59.91%. Broad energy equities, as measured by the diversified S&P Energy Select Sector Index (IXE),3 returned -3.70% during |

It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. |
| 2 | Henry Hub is a distribution hub on the natural gas pipeline system in Louisiana. Due to its importance, it lends its name to the pricing point for natural gas futures contracts in the U.S. |
| 3 | The S&P Energy Select Sector Index (IXE) is a segment of the S&P 500® Index. All components of the S&P 500® Index are assigned to one of the 11 Select Sector Indices, which seek to track major economic segments and are highly liquid benchmarks.

| the Reporting Period. However, energy infrastructure MLPs, as measured by the Alerian MLP Index, and the broader midstream4 sector (inclusive of both energy MLPs and “C” corporations), as measured by the Alerian Midstream Energy Index (AMNA),5 gained 23.29% and 7.70%, respectively. The broad U.S. equity market, as represented by the S&P 500® Index, returned 13.84% during the Reporting Period. |
| When the Reporting Period began in December 2022, commodities and energy-related equities experienced a sharp sell-off driven by worries around a potential recession, high interest rates, geopolitical tensions given the Russia/Ukraine war, and macroeconomic uncertainty. During the first quarter of 2023, commodities and energy-related equities continued to pull back overall, as broad-based macroeconomic uncertainty, driven by rising interest rates and concerns around the banking sector, caused volatility across asset classes. Despite the challenged environment, commodities |

| 4 | The midstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those companies providing products or services that help link the supply side (i.e., energy producers) and the demand side (i.e., energy end-users for any type of energy commodity). Such midstream businesses can include, but are not limited to, those that process, store, market and transport various energy commodities. |

The capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index, whose constituents earn the majority of their cash flow from midstream activities involving energy commodities, is disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (AMNA), total-return basis (AMNAX), net total-return (AMNAN), and adjusted net total return (AMNTR) basis. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| and energy-related equities regained some lost ground toward the end of the quarter. For the first quarter overall, West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil prices were down approximately 6%. Natural gas saw a more significant decline, with U.S. Henry Hub prices down about 51% and the European Title Transfer Facility (“TTF”)6 natural gas price down approximately 36%. |
| The second quarter of 2023 saw continued macroeconomic uncertainty, including recession concerns and consumers and businesses alike adapting to a higher interest rate environment. These factors helped drive ongoing commodity price weakness and volatility, as Brent crude oil and European TTF natural gas prices fell 4.9% and 20.2%, respectively, during the quarter. In contrast, U.S. Henry Hub natural gas prices recovered 12.5%. Despite commodity price weakness, midstream energy equities remained resilient, with AMNA returning 3.71% for the second calendar quarter, following an 8.38% gain in the fourth quarter of 2022. These results stood in contrast to other energy equity indices, with the upstream7-focused SPDR® S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (XOP)8 and the diversified IXE returning 1.65% and -1.13%, respectively, during the second quarter of 2023. Energy-related stocks generally lagged other segments of the broad equity market, with midstream energy equities and the diversified IXE significantly underperforming the S&P 500® Index in the second quarter, reversing some of the gains produced during the 2022 calendar year. |
| The third quarter of 2023 reflected ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, as market participants assessed the risks of recession, sustained elevated inflation and potential effects of a higher interest rate environment. These concerns contributed to broader equity market softness, with the S&P 500® Index finishing the quarter down 3.27% and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rising from 3.81% to 4.59%. Despite recession concerns, crude oil prices increased, with WTI crude oil prices up 28%, finishing the quarter around |
| 6 | The European Title Transfer Facility is a pricing location in the Netherlands. It has become the most liquid pricing location in Europe, and as such, oftentimes serves as a pricing proxy for the overall European liquified natural gas import market. |
| 7 | The upstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those operations stages in the oil and gas industry that involve exploration and production. Upstream operations deal primarily with the exploration stages of the oil and gas industry, with upstream firms taking the first steps to first locate, test and drill for oil and gas. Later, once reserves are proven, upstream firms will extract any oil and gas from the reserve. |
| 8 | The S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Select Industry Index, the XOP’s benchmark, is an equal-weighted index that draws constituents from the oil and gas exploration and production segment of the S&P Total Market Index. Liquidity and market capitalization screens are applied to the index to ensure investability. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. |
| $91 per barrel, the highest level since November 2022. Strength in commodities contributed to midstream energy equities’ resilience, despite broader equity market weakness. For the quarter, AMNA gained 6.75%. Other energy equity measures also saw a strong quarter, with the upstream-focused XOP and diversified IXE up 15.40% and 12.37%, respectively. |
| In the last two months of the Reporting Period, energy-related equities remained resilient amid a pullback in crude oil prices driven by heightened geopolitical tensions with the outbreak of war in the Middle East. At the end of the Reporting Period, there had been no certain indication of a widespread impact on the broader equities markets nor had there been any major spillover into a widespread regional conflict, though investors remained attentive to the prospect of the situation escalating. In particular, investors contemplated how a prolonged conflict there could pressure energy prices and inflation. |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund generated double-digit positive absolute returns but underperformed the Alerian MLP Index on a relative basis. These results were driven by subsector and security selection. |
| Regarding its exposures, the Fund was hurt by security selection in the petroleum pipeline transportation and the hydrocarbon production and mining subsectors.9 It was helped by security selection in the retail marketing and wholesale marketing subsectors. |
Q | What individual holdings detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was hurt most by its overweight position versus the Alerian MLP Index in DT Midstream, Inc., its underweight position in Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. and its overweight position in The Williams Companies, Inc. |
| DT Midstream, Inc. (DTM), an owner, operator and developer of natural gas, was a leading detractor from the Fund’s relative returns. The company’s share price was pressured by the drop in natural gas prices during the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, DTM remained one of our top picks in the natural gas midstream |
| 9 | Sector and subsector allocations are defined by Goldman Sachs Asset Management and may differ from sector allocations used by the Alerian MLP Index. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| space, as it is levered to natural gas production growth in the key basins that are set to feed growing liquified natural gas (“LNG”) demand over the next decade. Additionally, we believed DTM could be an acquisition candidate for larger natural gas-focused midstream companies looking to add high quality assets at an attractive price. |
| Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. (MMP) is an energy pipeline operator based in Tulsa, Oklahoma that primarily transports, stores and distributes refined petroleum products and crude oil. The company also owns ammonia and petroleum pipelines in the mid-continent oil province, which is a broad area containing hundreds of oil fields in Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. MMP’s shares gained strongly during the Reporting Period on the back of the company’s approved acquisition by ONEOK, Inc., completed in September 2023. |
| The Williams Companies, Inc. (WMB) has a core business in natural gas processing and transportation, with additional petroleum and electricity generation assets. During the Reporting Period, WMB reported earnings that were in line with consensus estimates, but its share price was hurt by a slower than consensus estimated recovery in natural gas, worse than consensus expected rate case headwinds for Transco (its U.S. natural gas pipeline), and higher regulatory hurdles for natural gas pipeline projects. We remained constructive on WMB at the end of the Reporting Period. (A rate case is a quasi-judicial process, conducted by utility regulators, in which a utility’s rates and revenue requirements are set for a period of time.) |
Q | What individual holdings added to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | Compared to the Alerian MLP Index, the Fund benefited during the Reporting Period from its underweight position in Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. and its overweight positions in EnLink Midstream LLC and Holly Energy Partners, L.P. |
| Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. (CQP) provides clean, secure and affordable LNG to integrated energy companies, utilities and energy trading companies around the world. Its stock price rose during the Reporting Period but lagged the Alerian MLP Index, and thus the Fund’s underweight position in CQP contributed positively to the Fund’s relative returns. Notably, the company posted strong earnings during the Reporting Period, and at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive about its prospects. |
| EnLink Midstream LLC (ENLC) is a midstream energy company that transports, stores and sells natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil and condensates to industrial end-users, utilities, marketers and pipelines. ENLC gained during the Reporting Period based in part on its increased weighting in midstream indices, driven by recent consolidation in the industry. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained constructive on the stock. |
| Holly Energy Partners, L.P., a provider of petroleum products and crude oil transportation, terminalling, storage and throughput services to the petroleum industry, was resilient amid market turbulence during the Reporting Period and was also perceived to be well positioned in regions with promising growth prospects. Its share price appreciated, largely driven by the company’s strong earnings and its acquisition by HF Sinclair Corporation, which closed on November 30, 2023. |
Q | Were there any notable purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, we initiated a Fund position on the initial public offering (“IPO”) of Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. The company provides contract natural gas compression to customers in numerous basins but with the majority of its operations in the Permian Basin. We believed the IPO offered an attractive entry point into what we see as a high growth business at a compelling valuation. |
| In addition, we established a Fund position in Atlas Energy Solutions Inc., a leading provider of proppant (frac sand) and logistics services to the oil and natural gas industry within the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico. In our view, the stock had an attractive valuation, and we made the investment at what we considered to be an attractive entry point. |
| Among notable sales during the Reporting Period was the elimination of the Fund’s position in Plains GP Holdings LP (Class A), one of the largest energy infrastructure and logistics companies in North America. During the Reporting Period, relative to the Alerian MLP Index, the Fund held an underweight position in Plains GP Holdings LP (Class A) and an overweight position in Plains All American Pipeline LP, an MLP engaged in pipeline transport, marketing and storage of liquefied petroleum gas and petroleum. Because of the similarities between the two, we decided to consolidate the Fund’s weightings into Plains All American Pipeline LP for technical purposes. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| We also exited the Fund’s position in Enbridge Inc. (ENB), a Canadian energy infrastructure company, during the Reporting Period. ENB, along with other companies perceived to have utilities-like business models, faced headwinds in the rising interest rate environment. Additionally, ENB made a large acquisition during the time the Fund owned the stock, creating a funding overhang that was likely, in our view, to be a challenge for the company until it is addressed. |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not use derivatives or similar instruments. |
Q | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | Effective January 11, 2023, Ganesh V. Jois no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund. As of the same date, Akif Irfan began serving as a portfolio manager for the Fund, joining Kyri Loupis and Matthew Cooper. By design, all investment decisions for the Fund are performed within a team structure, with multiple subject matter experts. This strategic decision making has been a cornerstone of our approach and helps ensure continuity in the Fund. |
Q | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | At the end of the Reporting Period, we had a positive outlook for commodity prices and oil-related securities. We expected crude oil prices to trade in the $80 to $100 per barrel range during the next several quarters, creating a strong operating environment for energy-focused businesses. Additionally, we saw energy policy shifting as the global economy looked to address growing global energy needs, with energy security becoming a priority for many developed nations in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In our view, North America was rather uniquely positioned as a potential key source of safe, reliable and affordable energy for decades to come. Looking at LNG specifically, the U.S. has spent billions of dollars on LNG infrastructure during the last five years or so to supply the world with essential LNG under long-term contracts. Since 2017, the U.S. has grown natural gas production by about 50% and LNG exports by more than 900%, making it the largest global LNG exporter, with industry expectations for U.S. LNG exports to triple by 2032 relative to 2021 levels.10 |
| 10 | Bloomberg and Energy Information Agency. |
| Regarding midstream energy companies, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that their fundamentals were some of the most attractive on record, with midstream cash flow inflecting higher alongside strong oil and natural gas prices and management teams demonstrating capital and cost discipline. The midstream sector was generating significant amounts of free cash flow at the end of the Reporting Period, which, in our opinion, not only adequately supported then-current distributions and dividends but also left plenty of excess cash to further reduce debt if needed, buy back stock and/or grow distributions and dividends. Overall, we believed the midstream energy sector presented a compelling investment opportunity amid a strong commodity price backdrop, healthy fundamentals and inexpensive valuations. Additionally, the sector was well positioned, in our view, to benefit from the growing need for North American energy. |
| In managing the Fund, we intend to remain focused on high quality companies with strong dividend/distribution coverage, cash flow growth potential and what we see as a robust outlook for free cash flow generation and healthy balance sheets. As always, we continue to monitor domestic and global economies, geopolitical factors, interest rates and equity market fundamentals as we actively manage the Fund. |

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, net of any foreign withholding taxes, and less any amounts reclaimable. 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 Fund’s schedule K-1 received from the MLPs. The 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.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, and non-class specific expenses of the Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by the Fund are charged to the Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees.
D. Distributions to Shareholders — Over the long term, the Fund makes distributions to its shareholders each fiscal quarter at a rate that is approximately equal to the distributions the Fund receives from the MLPs and other securities in which it invests. To permit the Fund to maintain more stable quarterly distributions, the distribution for any particular quarterly period may be more or less than the amount of total distributable earnings actually earned by the Fund. The Fund estimates that only a portion of the distributions paid to shareholders will be treated as income. The remaining portion of the Fund’s distribution, which may be significant, is expected to be a return of capital. These estimates are based on the Fund’s operating results during the period, and their final federal income tax characterization may differ.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
E. Income Taxes — The Fund does not intend to qualify as a regulated investment company pursuant to Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, but will rather be taxed as a corporation. As a result, the Fund is obligated to pay federal, state and local income tax on its taxable income. The Fund invests primarily in MLPs, which generally are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLPs, the Fund must report its allocable share of the MLPs’ taxable income or loss in computing its own taxable income or loss, regardless of whether the MLPs make distributions to the Fund.
The Fund’s tax expense or benefit is included in the Statement of Operations based on the component of income or gains/ losses to which such expense or benefit relates. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Such temporary differences are principally: (i) taxes on unrealized gains/losses, which are attributable to the temporary difference between fair market value and tax basis, (ii) the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes, and (iii) the net tax benefit of accumulated net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. The Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the currently effective statutory United States (“U.S.”) federal income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate, for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments and the distributions received by the Fund on interests of MLPs considered to be return of capital and for any net operating gains. The Fund may also record a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards, and/or unrealized losses.
To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset, consideration is given to whether or not a valuation allowance, which would offset the value of some or all of the deferred tax asset balance, is required. A valuation allowance is required if based on the evaluation criterion provided by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740) it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The factors considered in assessing the Fund’s valuation allowance include: the nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of the statutory carryforward periods and the associated risks that operating and capital loss carryforwards may expire unutilized. From time to time, as new information becomes available, the Fund will modify its estimates or assumptions regarding the deferred tax liability or asset. Unexpected significant decreases in cash distributions from the Fund’s MLP investments or significant declines in the fair value of its investments may change the Fund’s assessment regarding the recoverability of their deferred tax assets and may result in a valuation allowance. If a valuation allowance is required to reduce any deferred tax asset in the future, it could have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV and results of operations in the period it is recorded. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate operating income/loss and gains/losses and current taxes and deferred tax liabilities and/or asset balances for purposes of daily reporting of NAVs and financial statement reporting. In addition, sales of MLP investments will result in allocations to the Fund of taxable ordinary income or loss and capital gain or loss, each in amounts that will not be reported to the Fund until the following year, in magnitudes often not readily estimable before such reporting is made. The portion of gain on a disposition of an MLP equity security that is taxed as ordinary income under the Code will be recognized even if there is a net taxable loss on the disposition.
It is the Fund’s policy to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on its Statement of Operations. The Fund anticipates filing income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states, and such returns are subject to examination by the tax jurisdictions. The Fund has reviewed all major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no significant impact on its net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits or expenses relating to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken on its tax returns.
Return of Capital Estimates — Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.
F. 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

|
|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 translations. 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 level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Fund, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. With respect to the Fund’s investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated GSAM as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Valuation Designee”). GSAM has day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Fund’s portfolio investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities will be valued at the valid closing bid price for long positions and at the valid closing ask price for short positions (i.e. where there is sufficient volume, during normal exchange trading hours). If no valid bid/ask price is available, the equity security will be valued pursuant to the Valuation Procedures and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, 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
GOLDMAN SACHS MLP ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
|
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other investment companies. Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Fund invests in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Fund’s shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. Underlying Funds are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent that underlying ETFs are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may be determined under the Valuation Procedures. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining 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 classified in the fair value hierarchy as of November 30, 2023:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) November 30, 2023 |
Total income taxes are computed by applying the federal statutory rate plus a blended state income tax rate. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, the Fund reevaluated its blended state income tax rate, increasing the rate from 1.17% to 1.19% due to an anticipated change in state apportionment of income and gains. The reconciliation between the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate on net investment income/loss and realized and unrealized gain/loss is as follows:

The Fund reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets based upon the weight of the available evidence. When assessing, the Fund’s management considers available carrybacks, reversing temporary taxable differences, and tax planning, if any. As a result of its analysis of the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, the Fund recorded $27,078,560 of valuation allowances as of November 30, 2023.

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, the Fund does not have any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes. At November 30, 2023, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments, based on cost, for federal income tax purposes was as follows:
| | | | |
|
| |
| |
Tax Cost | | $ | 1,264,598,581 | |
|
| |
| |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 452,385,608 | |
| |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (37,332,703) | |
|
| |
| |
Net unrealized gain | | $ | 415,052,905 | |
|
| |
Any difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to wash sales and differences related to the tax treatment of partnership investments.
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, the Fund distributions are estimated to be comprised of 100% from taxable income and 0% return of capital. Shareholders will be informed of the final tax characterization of the distributions in February 2024. The Fund’s tax years ended November 30, 2020 through November 30, 2022 remain open for examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities. Management of the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or expenses will significantly change in the next 12 months.

D. Service Plan — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan to allow Class C Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance services to its customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan provides for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares of the Fund.
E. 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 rates as follows: 0.15% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 and Class P Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares. Prior to July 1, 2023, fees charged for such transfer agency services were 0.16% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares.
F. 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, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder meeting, litigation, 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 0.064%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least March 29, 2024, 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

H. Line of Credit Facility — As of November 30, 2023, the Fund participated in a $1,110,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Fund based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, the Fund did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 19, 2023, the facility was $1,250,000,000.

6. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, were $1,637,266,355 and $1,558,685,221, respectively.
The Fund’s risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Fund’s use of derivatives and other similar instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) may result in loss, including due to adverse market movements. Derivatives, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other assets and instruments, may increase market exposure and be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying assets or instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. Certain derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill, or lacks the capacity or authority to fulfill, its contractual obligations, liquidity risk, which includes the risk that the Fund will not be able to exit the derivative when it is advantageous to do so, and risks arising from margin requirements, which include the risk that the Fund will be required to pay additional margin or set aside additional collateral to maintain open derivative positions. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged, and the failure of the performance of the derivatives used to replicate the performance of a

7. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
particular asset class to accurately track the performance of that asset class. There is no guarantee that the use of derivatives will achieve their intended result.
Dividend-Paying Investments Risk — The Fund’s investments in dividend-paying securities could cause the Fund to underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes but employ a different investment style. Securities that pay dividends, as a group, can fall out of favor with the market, causing such securities to underperform securities that do not pay dividends. Depending upon market conditions and political and legislative responses to such conditions, dividend-paying securities that meet the Fund’s investment criteria may not be widely available and/or may be highly concentrated in only a few market sectors. In addition, issuers that have paid regular dividends or distributions to shareholders may not continue to do so at the same level or at all in the future. This may limit the ability of the Fund to produce current income.
Energy Sector Risk—The Fund concentrates its investments in the energy sector, and will therefore be susceptible to adverse economic, business, social, political, environmental, regulatory or other developments affecting that sector. The energy sector has historically experienced substantial price volatility. MLPs, energy infrastructure companies and other companies operating in the energy sector are subject to specific risks, including, among others: fluctuations in commodity prices and/or interest rates; increased governmental or environmental regulation; reduced availability of natural gas or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering; declines in domestic or foreign production; slowdowns in new construction; extreme weather or other natural disasters; and threats of attack by terrorists on energy assets. Energy companies can be significantly affected by the supply of, and demand for, particular energy products (such as oil and natural gas), which may result in overproduction or underproduction. 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.
During periods of heightened volatility, energy producers that are burdened with debt may seek bankruptcy relief. Bankruptcy laws may permit the revocation or renegotiation of contracts between energy producers and MLPs/energy infrastructure companies, which could have a dramatic impact on the ability of MLPs/energy infrastructure companies to pay distributions to its investors, including the Fund, which in turn could impact the ability of the Fund to pay dividends and dramatically impact the value of the Fund’s investments.
Infrastructure Company Risk — Infrastructure companies are susceptible to various factors that may negatively impact their businesses or operations, including costs associated with compliance with and changes in environmental, governmental and other regulations, rising interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs, government budgetary constraints that impact publicly funded projects, the effects of general economic conditions throughout the world, surplus capacity and depletion concerns, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties regarding the availability of fuel and other natural resources at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies, unfavorable tax laws or accounting policies and high leverage. Infrastructure companies will also be affected by innovations in technology that could render the way in which a company delivers a product or service obsolete and natural or man-made disasters.
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.

7. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Liquidity Risk — The 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 the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, declining prices of the securities sold, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If the Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with the Fund’s 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, 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, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact 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.
Master Limited Partnership Risk— Investments in securities of MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in common stocks, including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks, limited liquidity risks and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unit-holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price.
MLP Tax Risk— MLPs are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Partnerships do not pay U.S. federal income tax at the partnership level. Rather, each partner is allocated a share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses. A change in current tax law or a change in the underlying business mix of a given MLP could result in an MLP being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which would result in the MLP being required to pay U.S. federal income tax (as well as state and local income taxes) on its taxable income. This would have the effect of reducing the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP and could result in a reduction in the value of the Fund’s investment in the MLP and lower income to the Fund.
To the extent a distribution received by the Fund from an MLP is treated as a return of capital, the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in the interests of the MLP will be reduced, which may increase the Fund’s tax liability upon the sale of the interests in the MLP or upon subsequent distributions in respect of such interests.
Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it is permitted to invest a larger percentage of its assets in one or more issuers or in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio, and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
Strategy Risk — The Fund’s strategy of investing primarily in MLPs, resulting in its being taxed as a corporation, or a “C” corporation, rather than as a regulated investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is a relatively new investment strategy for funds. This strategy involves complicated accounting, tax and valuation issues. Volatility in the NAV may be experienced because of the use of estimates at various times during a given year that may result in unexpected and potentially significant consequences for the Fund and its shareholders.

7. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Tax Risks — Tax risks associated with investments in the Fund include but are not limited to the following:
Fund Structure Risk. Unlike traditional mutual funds that are structured as regulated investment companies for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Fund will be taxable as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This means the Fund generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the rates applicable to corporations, and will also be subject to state and local income taxes.
Tax Estimation/NAV Risk. In calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, include its current taxes and deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and related valuation balances, if any. The Fund may accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the currently effective statutory U.S. federal income tax rate (currently 21%) plus an estimated state and local income tax rate, for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments and the distributions received by the Fund on interests of MLPs considered to be return of capital and for any net operating gains. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s NAV which could have an effect on the market price of the shares. Upon the Fund’s sale of its interest in an MLP, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes. The Fund may also record a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards, and/or unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV to the extent it exceeds any valuation allowance which could have an effect on the market price of the shares. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate current taxes and deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. The daily estimate of the Fund’s current taxes and deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary significantly from the Fund’s actual tax liability or benefit, and, as a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability or benefit may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its current taxes and deferred tax liability and/or asset balances as new information becomes available, which modifications in estimates or assumptions may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV.
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.
Pursuant to an effort to consolidate the membership of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) with the Board of Trustees of each of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Trust II and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, in July 2023, the Board voted to nominate Cheryl K. Beebe, John G. Chou, Eileen H. Dowling, Lawrence Hughes, John F. Killian, Steven D. Krichmar, Michael Latham, Lawrence W. Stranghoener and Paul C. Wirth (the “Nominees”) for election as Trustees of the Trust. Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling currently serve as Trustees of the Trust. At a virtual special joint meeting of shareholders held on November 16, 2023, each of the Nominees (except Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling) was elected to serve as Trustees alongside the current Trustees of the Trust, effective January 1, 2024. Each of Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling was also elected at the meeting and continue to serve as Trustees of the Trust.
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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund (one of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of November 30, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended November 30, 2023, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2023 including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended November 30, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of November 30, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended November 30, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended November 30, 2023 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (generally with respect to Class C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C , and R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P Shares of 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 June 1, 2023 through November 30, 2023, which represents a period of 183 days of a 365-day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 have been higher.

Deferred tax benefit (expense) is not included in the ratio calculation. 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS MLP ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Fund at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Fund.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2024 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on June 13-14, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held two meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to the Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services, and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance, and central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training); |
| (iii) | trends in employee headcount; |
| (iv) | the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and |
| (v) | the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its mutual fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management; |
| (b) | information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparisons to the performance of similar mutual funds, as provided by a third-party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and a benchmark performance index; and information on general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests; |
| (c) | information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy; |
| (d) | the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (e) | fee and expense information for the Fund, including: |
| (i) | the relative management fee and expense levels of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider; |
| (ii) | the Fund’s expense trends over time; and |
| (iii) | to the extent the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts (such as bank collective trusts, private wealth management accounts, institutional separate accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, and non-U.S. funds) having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser; |
| (f) | with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund; |
| (g) | the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations; |
| (h) | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (i) | whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
| (j) | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, portfolio trading, distribution and other services; |
| (k) | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
GOLDMAN SACHS MLP ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
| (l) | information regarding commissions paid by the Fund and broker oversight, an update on the Investment Adviser’s soft dollars practices, other information regarding portfolio trading, and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution; |
| (m) | portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers; |
| (n) | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and |
| (o) | the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
The Trustees also received an overview of the Fund’s distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Fund’s assets, share purchase and redemption activity, and payment of distribution and service fees. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Fund shares. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Fund and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Fund. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Fund and its service providers operate, including developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical events, and economic sanctions, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees also considered information regarding the Investment Adviser’s business continuity planning and remote operations capabilities. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Fund and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Fund and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Fund. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of the Fund to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2022, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2023. The information on the Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ending on the applicable dates. The Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Fund over time, and reviewed the investment performance of the Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions.
GOLDMAN SACHS MLP ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Fund’s risk profile, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
The Trustees observed that the Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three- and ten-year periods, and in the fourth quartile for the five-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the ten-year period and underperformed for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2023. The Trustees considered that the Fund had been repositioned in 2020, which involved changes to the Fund’s investment strategy. They noted that the Fund had experienced certain portfolio management changes in early 2023.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates payable by the Fund thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services 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 analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Fund. The analyses provided a comparison of the Fund’s management fee and breakpoints to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared the Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing the Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared the Fund’s other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Fund.
In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Fund differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Profitability
The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization periodically audits the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. Profitability data for the Fund was provided for 2022 and 2021, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for the Fund at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Fund:
GOLDMAN SACHS MLP ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
| | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | MLP Energy Infrastructure Management Fee Annual Rate |
| |
First $1 billion | | 1.00% |
| |
Next $1 billion | | 0.90 |
| |
Next $3 billion | | 0.86 |
| |
Next $3 billion | | 0.84 |
| |
Over $8 billion | | 0.82 |
The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed 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 amount of assets in the Fund; the Fund’s recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer group; and the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Fund that exceed a specified level. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, 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. They also noted that the Investment Adviser had passed along savings to shareholders of the Fund, which had asset levels above at least the first breakpoint during the prior fiscal year.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund as stated above, 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; (i) the investment of cash and cash collateral in money market funds managed by the Investment Adviser that will result in increased assets under management for those money market funds; and (j) 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 more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Fund and Its Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Fund receives certain other potential benefits as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Fund with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) enhanced servicing from broker-dealers due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties on behalf of the Fund as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Fund because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (g) the Fund’s access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (h) the Fund’s access to certain affiliated distribution channels. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered that many of the Fund’s shareholders invested in the Fund in part because of the Fund’s relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by the Fund were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment
GOLDMAN SACHS MLP ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and the Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit the Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to the Fund until June 30, 2024.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Energy and Infrastructure Team (the “Team”) discusses the Goldman Sachs Clean Energy Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R6 and Class P Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of -24.05%, -24.66%, -23.79%, -23.88%, -23.86% and -23.81%, respectively. These returns compare to the -20.62% average annual total return of the Fund’s blended benchmark, which is comprised 50% of the Eagle North American Renewables Infrastructure Index,1 35% of the Indxx YieldCo and Renewable Energy Income Index2 and 15% of the Eagle Global Renewables Infrastructure Index.3 |
| At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust held on June 13-14, 2023, the Trustees approved the termination of the Fund’s Class R Shares. This termination occurred on July 14, 2023. Effective June 15, 2023, Class R |
| 1 | The Eagle North American Renewables Infrastructure Index is designed to track the performance of renewables infrastructure or renewables-related infrastructure assets, primarily wind, solar, hydro, biomass and electric transmission lines. Constituents are companies whose stocks trade in either the U.S. or Canada, though assets owned by these companies can have a global reach. The index is a capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index developed by Eagle Global Advisors and disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (RENEWNA) and on a total-return basis (RENEWNAT). It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. |
| 2 | The Indxx YieldCo & Renewable Energy Income Index is designed to track the performance of income-paying renewable energy companies and companies categorized as YieldCos (i.e., producers of biofuels) listed in developed and emerging markets. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. |
| 3 | The Eagle Global Renewables Infrastructure Index is designed to track the performance of renewables infrastructure or renewables-related infrastructure assets, primarily wind, solar, hydro, biomass and electric transmission lines. Constituents are companies whose stocks trade globally in OECD countries. (The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development is an intergovernmental economic organization with 37 member countries, founded in 1961 to stimulate economic progress and world trade.) The index is a capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index developed by Eagle Global Advisors and disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (RENEW) and on a total-return basis (RENEWTR). It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. |
| Shares of the Fund were no longer sold to new investors or existing shareholders (except through reinvested dividends) and were no longer eligible for exchanges from other Goldman Sachs Funds. In addition, Class R Shares of the Fund were closed to all new accounts. |
Q | How did clean energy infrastructure securities overall perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | Clean energy infrastructure securities, as represented by the Fund’s blended benchmark, recorded negative absolute returns for the Reporting Period and lagged the broader global equity market, which returned 12.01%, as measured by the MSCI All Country World Index Investable Market Index). Clean energy infrastructure securities also underperformed energy-related securities. |
| The Reporting Period was challenging for clean energy infrastructure securities, especially in the context of the broad U.S. equity market rally, which was narrow in breadth—led by mega cap technology and artificial intelligence (“AI”)-related stocks—but meaningful, with the S&P 500® Index up 13.84%. The widespread sell-off among clean energy infrastructure securities also came alongside a swift increase in global interest rates, which had an outsized impact on market sectors with long-term development pipelines. The rise in global interest rates sparked a wave of technical selling, fueled by investor concerns about the impact of higher rates on clean energy infrastructure companies given that a significant amount of financing is needed to meet global clean energy mandates/targets. Overall, concerns around higher costs and the potential impact on project returns/future cash flows drove clean energy infrastructure securities lower during the Reporting Period. |
FUND RESULTS
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Team primarily targets companies that are scaling the clean energy transition, mostly renewable independent power producers and power infrastructure companies. Our investment focus is on companies with what we consider to be effective management teams that operate within a strong corporate governance framework; high renewable asset quality; strong balance sheets; potential upside for their stock prices due to higher power prices; liquidity that may weather various economic cycles and business cycles; and clear earnings growth and dividend visibility. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted negative absolute returns and underperformed the blended benchmark. Specifically, the Fund was hampered by security selection in the utilities sector4 and in the utilities/clean power subsector. The utilities sector lagged the broader equity market during the Reporting Period overall, posting its worst performance of the previous 35 years during the first half of 2023, while mega cap technology and AI-related stocks recorded strong gains. In addition, during the Reporting Period, the utilities/clean power subsector was hurt by rising interest rates given that the companies in this subsector tend to be large capital spenders. In addition, as mentioned earlier, companies with long-term development pipelines were at risk of higher financing costs. That said, the Fund primarily owns the securities of cost-plus businesses, many of which are so-called regulated monopolies that create cost offsets by passing through higher interest rates to customers (e.g., through inflation-protected contracts, higher energy prices for new assets, etc.). Although we believed the aforementioned cost offsets should significantly mitigate these concerns for the securities the Fund holds, investors failed to recognize such benefits, in our view, during the Reporting Period. |
Q | What individual holdings detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | Compared to the blended benchmark, the Fund was hurt by an underweight position in Hydro One Limited and by overweight positions in Northland Power Inc. and SolarEdge Technologies, Inc., during the Reporting Period. |
| 4 | Stock classifications are based on the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®), which is a widely accepted standard used by the global financial community for classifying companies into sectors and industries. |
| An underweight in Hydro One Limited detracted most from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. The electricity transmission and distribution utility, which serves the Canadian province of Ontario, performed well during the Reporting Period due to its defensive characteristics, namely its strong regulatory track record and solid balance sheet (with no “holdco” debt, i.e., the unsecured debt of a holding company), and the favorable supply/demand outlook in its Ontario operating region. |
| Northland Power Inc. (NPI) develops, builds, owns and manages wind facilities, with a focus on offshore wind development. NPI was pressured during the Reporting Period by supply-chain constraints and issues around two of the company’s large offshore wind projects, as higher interest rates created investor concerns around project returns. In our view, NPI was doing a good job of mitigating both supply-chain pressures and higher costs, and the company had decided to finance some large projects that we thought locked in attractive economics. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have conviction in NPI’s near-term prospects. |
| SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (SEDG) is a global developer of smart energy technology solutions. Its results can primarily be attributed to demand uncertainty in California under NEM 3.0 (that is, California’s new net billing tariff policy for solar power, which dictates how excess solar energy is credited to homeowners), along with the continued weakness of residential solar in Europe because of elevated interest rates and macro uncertainty. We sold the Fund’s position in SEDG during the Reporting Period in favor of what we considered more attractive opportunities. |
Q | What individual holdings added to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from overweight positions versus the blended benchmark in SSE plc, Engie SA and Iberdrola SA. |
| SSE plc (SSE) is a leading generator of renewable electricity and one of the largest electricity network companies in the U.K. In November 2023, the company detailed a five-year £12.5 billion capital expenditures plan that included greater investments in renewables and networks. In our view, higher power prices and thermal generation profits may also add to the company’s cash flow. Overall, we remained constructive on SSE at the end of the Reporting Period, as we considered it a leading beneficiary of offshore wind growth in the U.K. and renewables growth more broadly. Most importantly, we |
FUND RESULTS
| also saw SSE as a beneficiary of electricity transmission in which the company has a sector-leading 14% compound annual growth rate in renewables. |
| Engie SA (ENGI) is a global energy and services group operating in the three key business sectors of low-carbon electricity generation (with particular emphasis on natural gas and renewables), energy infrastructure and customer solutions. During the Reporting Period, the holding added to the Fund’s relative returns, driven largely by earnings strength due to the profitability of the company’s global energy management and sales as well as by improvement in the outlook for renewables. We continued to have a positive view of ENGI at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| Iberdrola SA (IBE) is a global, integrated utility with networks and renewable businesses. Its stock’s performance can be attributed to the company’s continued strong earnings growth, fueled by its key segments—networks and renewables. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained constructive on IBE, as we believed it is a high quality company with a strong balance sheet, diverse set of assets (networks and renewables/generation) across different geographies, which should enable the company to do well in many environments. |
Q | Were there any notable purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | Among notable Fund purchases during the Reporting Period was a position in Edison International, a public utility holding company based in California. We believed Edison International was overcoming protracted underperformance due to wildfire-related events and insurance claims. The company also extended its 5% to 7% growth estimates through 2028, underpinned by electrification trends, which we considered positive. |
| We also added a Fund position in Hydro One Limited, mentioned earlier, because we liked the company’s low risk and changing growth profile. The company’s current capital plan supports an approximately 6% compound annual growth rate, and its management has provided guidance for 5%-7% annual growth in earnings per share through 2027. We believed there was further upside potential related to the buildout of incremental transmission lines, distribution company consolidation and broadband investments. |
| In addition to the sale of SEDG, mentioned previously, we exited the Fund’s position in Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp., a Canadian renewable energy and regulated utility |
| conglomerate with assets across North America. We sold the position because of our uncertainty about the company’s earnings growth trajectory. |
| We also eliminated the Fund’s position in American Electric Power Company, Inc., one of the U.S.’s largest electricity producers, based on our concerns about the company’s regulatory relationships and its execution on balance sheet strengthening initiatives. |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not use derivatives or similar instruments. |
Q | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |
Q | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe clean energy was one of the single largest investment opportunities for the long term and that the decline of clean energy infrastructure securities during the Reporting Period showed a fundamental disconnect between market valuations and the multi-decade growth story ahead. Despite the sell-off, the core fundamentals for most clean energy infrastructure companies remained resilient, in our view. |
| In the near term, we thought the stabilization of interest rates, which had already started at the end of the Reporting Period, should act as a catalyst for a rebound for the valuations of clean energy infrastructure securities. Longer-term, we believed continued strength in execution from management teams and increased growth of renewables paints a constructive picture for clean energy markets—particularly in the U.S. where the Inflation Reduction Act could result in more than $1 trillion dollars of support5—creating a non-cyclical tailwind for clean energy infrastructure securities. |
| As we look forward, despite the higher-for-longer interest rate environment at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained constructive on clean energy infrastructure securities as we continued to see momentum in clean energy development, driven by supportive policy, customer preference for renewable sources, lower costs versus other energy sources, and global economic/electrification growth. |

FUND RESULTS
| We were confident these clean power companies could continue to generate strong project returns. For renewable infrastructure (wind, solar, etc.), we noted that project developers are generally able to lock in costs when they sign a long-term contract, so they know what their margins are going to look like for an individual project. |
| In managing the Fund, we plan to continue seeking to capture the long-term secular clean energy growth opportunity with a risk-adjusted approach. We intended to allocate largely to clean energy infrastructure companies critical to the energy transition, rather than clean technology companies (i.e., Plug Power, Tesla, etc.), which tend to have more volatile earnings and stock prices. |

FUND RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Energy Infrastructure Fund
as of November 30, 2023
Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategy
The Fund seeks total return through current income and capital appreciation.
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in U.S. and non-U.S. equity or fixed income securities issued by energy infrastructure companies, including master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and “C” corporations. The Fund’s investments in MLPs will not exceed 25% of the Fund’s total assets as measured at the time of purchase. The Fund intends to concentrate its investments in the energy sector.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Energy and Infrastructure Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Energy Infrastructure Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 8.63%, 7.85%, 9.07%, 8.96%, 9.08%, 8.39% and 9.09%, respectively. These returns compare to the 9.15% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Alerian Midstream Energy Select Index (Total Return, Unhedged, USD) (“AMEI Index”). The AMEI Index is a composite of North American energy infrastructure companies.1 |
Q | How did energy-related securities overall perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | Energy-related equities generated mixed results during the Reporting Period, as commodity prices declined. Brent crude oil prices fell 3.04%, while natural gas prices were more challenged, with U.S. Henry Hub2 prices down 59.91%. Broad energy equities, as measured by the diversified S&P Energy Select Sector Index (IXE),3 returned -1.72% during |

| the Reporting Period. However, energy infrastructure master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), as measured by the Alerian MLP Index,4 and the broader midstream5 sector (inclusive of both energy MLPs and “C” corporations), as measured by the Alerian Midstream Energy Index (AMNA),6 gained 23.29% and 7.70%, respectively. The broad U.S. equity market, as represented by the S&P 500® Index, returned 13.84% during the Reporting Period. |
| When the Reporting Period began in December 2022, commodities and energy-related equities experienced a sharp sell-off driven by worries around a potential recession, high interest rates, geopolitical tensions given the Russia/Ukraine war, and macroeconomic uncertainty. During the first quarter |

| 5 | The midstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those companies providing products or services that help link the supply side (i.e., energy producers) and the demand side (i.e., energy end-users for any type of energy commodity. Such midstream businesses can include, but are not limited to, those that process, store, market and transport various energy commodities. |

It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. |
FUND RESULTS
| of 2023, commodities and energy-related equities continued to pull back overall, as broad-based macroeconomic uncertainty, driven by rising interest rates and concerns around the banking sector, caused volatility across asset classes. Despite the challenged environment, commodities and energy-related equities regained some lost ground toward the end of the quarter. For the first quarter overall, West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil prices were down approximately 6%. Natural gas saw a more significant decline, with U.S. Henry Hub prices down about 51% and the European Title Transfer Facility (“TTF”)7 natural gas price down approximately 36%. |
| The second quarter of 2023 saw continued macroeconomic uncertainty, including recession concerns and consumers and businesses alike adapting to a higher interest rate environment. These factors helped drive ongoing commodity price weakness and volatility, as Brent crude oil and European TTF gas prices fell 4.9% and 20.2%, respectively, during the quarter. In contrast, U.S. Henry Hub natural gas prices recovered 12.5%. Despite commodity price weakness, midstream energy equities remained resilient, with AMNA returning 3.71% for the second calendar quarter, following an 8.38% gain in the fourth quarter of 2022. These results stood in contrast to other energy equity indices, with the upstream8-focused SPDR® S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (XOP)9 and the diversified IXE returning 1.65% and -1.13%, respectively, during the second quarter of 2023. Energy-related stocks generally lagged other segments of the broad equity market, with midstream energy equities and the diversified IXE significantly underperforming the S&P 500® Index in the second quarter, reversing some of gains produced during the 2022 calendar year. |
| The third quarter of 2023 reflected ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, as market participants assessed the risks of recession, sustained elevated inflation and potential effects of a higher interest rate environment. These concerns |
| 7 | The European Title Transfer Facility is a pricing location in the Netherlands. It has become the most liquid pricing location in Europe, and as such, oftentimes serves as a pricing proxy for the overall European liquified natural gas import market. |
| 8 | The upstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those operations stages in the oil and gas industry that involve exploration and production. Upstream operations deal primarily with the exploration stages of the oil and gas industry, with upstream firms taking the first steps to first locate, test and drill for oil and gas. Later, once reserves are proven, upstream firms will extract any oil and gas from the reserve. |
| 9 | The S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Select Industry Index, the XOP’s benchmark, is an equal-weighted index that draws constituents from the oil and gas exploration and production segment of the S&P Total Market Index. Liquidity and market capitalization screens are applied to the index to ensure investability. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. |
| contributed to broader equity market softness, with the S&P 500® Index finishing the quarter down 3.27% and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rising from 3.81% to 4.59%. Despite recession concerns, crude oil prices increased, with WTI crude oil prices up 28%, finishing the quarter around $91 per barrel, the highest level since November 2022. Strength in commodities contributed to midstream energy equities’ resilience, despite broader equity market weakness. For the quarter, AMNA gained 6.75%. Other energy equity measures also saw a strong quarter, with the upstream-focused XOP and diversified IXE up 15.40% and 12.37%, respectively. |
| In the last two months of the Reporting Period, energy-related equities remained resilient amid a pullback in crude oil prices driven by heightened geopolitical tensions with the outbreak of war in the Middle East. At the end of the Reporting Period, there had been no certain indication of a widespread impact on the broader equities markets nor had there been any major spillover into a widespread regional conflict, though investors remained attentive to the prospect of the situation escalating. In particular, investors contemplated how a prolonged conflict there could pressure energy prices and inflation. |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund generated positive absolute returns but modestly underperformed AMEI Index on a relative basis. These results were driven by security selection. |
| The Fund was hurt by security selection in the gathering and processing and the hydrocarbon production and mining subsectors. In addition, industry consolidation (i.e., mergers and acquisitions activity) had a negative impact on the Fund overall during the Reporting Period. On the positive side, security selection in the petroleum pipeline transportation and the natural gas pipeline transportation subsectors added to relative performance.10 |

FUND RESULTS
Q | What individual holdings detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | Compared to the AMEI Index, the Fund was hampered by its exposures in Equitrans Midstream Corporation, Antero Midstream Corporation and Enterprise Products Partners L.P. during the Reporting Period. |
| The Fund’s top detractor was Equitrans Midstream Corporation (ETRN), a premier North American midstream services company and one of the largest natural gas gatherers in the U.S. ETRN’s share price fell in October 2023 after the company announced “unforeseen factors” had led to delays in the completion of its Mountain Valley Pipeline. In addition, the company revised higher the estimated total cost of the project, from $6.6 billion to $7.2 billion. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on ETRN based on the company’s fundamentals. |
| The Fund was hurt by its underweight versus the AMEI Index in Antero Midstream Corporation (AM), a leading Appalachian natural gas gathering company. The stock posted gains on rising free cash flow expectations driven by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as anticipated lower capital expenditures going forward. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund remained underweight AM as we did not believe its valuation reflected the company’s single basin and counterparty risks. |
| Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (EPD), one of the largest U.S. midstream companies operating in more than 10 key resource basins, has a longstanding track record of financial conservatism and what we consider a best-in-class balance sheet. During the Reporting Period, EPD was pressured by the challenging macro environment as well as by investor uncertainty and lower expectations for a recovery in demand for natural gas liquids and petrochemicals amid strong production, better than expected weather and higher levels of storage. At the end of the Reporting Period, EPD remained a core allocation in the Fund because of its size, product/ geographic diversification and conservative financial policies. |
Q | What individual holdings added to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s underweight position versus the AMEI Index in Tellurian Inc., its overweight position in Enbridge Inc. and its underweight position in TC Energy Corporation contributed positively to relative performance. |
| Tellurian Inc. (TELL) is a developer of a liquified natural gas (“LNG”) platform with an integrated business model that allows it to capture the spread between U.S and international prices. The Fund’s underweight position versus the AMEI Index added to its performance during the Reporting Period, as TELL failed to develop a key project in a timely manner and its finances became strained. TELL’s management team also withdrew a massive financing attempt that would have set the company back decades in what it called an “uncertain” high yield corporate bond market. Although these management decisions were positive in financial terms, the stock plummeted on investor concerns over whether the firm could fund its $12.8 billion Driftwood LNG export terminal project, which was already a gamble for TELL and without it, the company would lose a sizeable amount of cash each year. |
| Enbridge Inc. (ENB) is an operator of crude oil and liquids pipelines. ENB reported strong earnings and announced it would acquire Spectra Energy in an all-stock deal worth $28 billion. The transaction was well received by the markets, driving strong performance for both companies toward the end of the Reporting Period. We were constructive on the combined entity at the end of the Reporting Period because of its complementary and diversified asset base as well as what we saw as the strength of its balance sheet. |
| TC Energy Corporation (TRP) is a major North American energy company with extensive natural gas and liquids pipelines. TRP is one of the largest publicly traded North American energy infrastructure companies by enterprise value. In July 2023, the company announced a major asset sale and a plan to spin off its liquid pipelines businesses. The market viewed these announcements negatively due to the lower than consensus expected price of the asset sale and because the strategic vision of the spin-off was unclear. During August, TRP regained some of the ground it had lost amid strengthening in commodity prices. |
Q | Were there any notable purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, we initiated a Fund position on the initial public offering (“IPO”) of Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. The company provides contract natural gas compression to customers in numerous basins but with the majority of its operations in the Permian Basin. We believed the IPO offered an attractive entry point into what we see as a high growth business at a compelling valuation. |
| In addition, we established a Fund position in ConocoPhillips, an independent exploration and production |

| company, seeking to take advantage of an attractive entry point for the stock and based on the company’s fundamentals. |
| Among key sales during the Reporting Period was the Fund’s position in Crestwood Equity Partners LP, a publicly traded MLP that owns and operates vital midstream infrastructure assets. We believed the stock’s valuation had become unattractive. |
| We also eliminated the Fund’s position in Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P., an energy pipeline operator based in Tulsa, Oklahoma that primarily transports, stores and distributes refined petroleum products and crude oil. The company was acquired by ONEOK, Inc. in September 2023. |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not use derivatives or similar instruments. |
Q | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | Effective January 11, 2023, Ganesh V. Jois no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund. As of the same date, Christopher A. Schiesser began serving as a portfolio manager for the Fund, joining Kyri Loupis and Matthew Cooper. By design, all investment decisions for the Fund are performed within a team structure, with multiple subject matter experts. This strategic decision making has been a cornerstone of our approach and helps ensure continuity in the Fund. |
Q | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | At the end of the Reporting Period, we had a positive outlook for commodity prices and oil-related securities. We expected crude oil prices to trade in the $80 to $100 per barrel range during the next several quarters, creating a strong operating environment for energy-focused businesses. Additionally, we saw energy policy shifting as the global economy looked to address growing global energy needs, with energy security becoming a priority for many developed nations in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In our view, North America was rather uniquely positioned as a potential key source of safe, reliable and affordable energy for decades to come. Looking at LNG specifically, the U.S. has spent billions of dollars on LNG infrastructure during the last five years or so to supply the world with essential LNG under long-term contracts. Since 2017, the U.S. has grown natural gas production by about 50% and LNG exports by more than |
| 900%, making it the largest global LNG exporter, with industry expectations for U.S. LNG exports to triple by 2032 relative to 2021 levels.11 |
| Regarding midstream energy companies, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that their fundamentals were some of the most attractive on record, with midstream cash flow inflecting higher alongside strong oil and natural gas prices and management teams demonstrating capital and cost discipline. The midstream sector was generating significant amounts of free cash flow at the end of the Reporting Period, which, in our opinion, not only adequately supported then-current distributions and dividends but also left plenty of excess cash to further reduce debt if needed, buy back stock and/or grow distributions and dividends. Overall, we believed the midstream energy sector presented a compelling investment opportunity amid a strong commodity price backdrop, healthy fundamentals and inexpensive valuations. Additionally, the sector was well positioned, in our view, to benefit from the growing need for North American energy. |
| In managing the Fund, we intend to remain focused on high quality companies with strong dividend/distribution coverage, cash flow growth potential and what we see as a robust outlook for free cash flow generation and healthy balance sheets. As always, we continue to monitor domestic and global economies, geopolitical factors, interest rates and equity market fundamentals as we actively manage the Fund. |

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. Distributions from master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) are generally recorded based on the characterization reported on the MLP’s tax return. A Fund records its pro-rata share of the income/loss and capital gains/losses, allocated from the underlying partnerships and adjusts the cost basis of the underlying partnerships accordingly.
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 fees.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not

required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net investment income distributions, if any, are declared and paid at least semi-annually. Capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid 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.
Return of Capital Estimates — Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Funds record investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.
E. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of a Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. With respect to the Funds’ investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated GSAM as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Valuation Designee”). GSAM has day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’

investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities will be valued at the valid closing bid price for long positions and at the valid closing ask price for short positions (i.e. where there is sufficient volume, during normal exchange trading hours). If no valid bid/ask price is available, the equity security will be valued pursuant to the Valuation Procedures and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price for long positions or the last ask price for short positions, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under the Valuation Procedures and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) include exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other investment companies. Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Funds invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. Underlying Funds are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent that underlying ETFs are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under the Valuation Procedures. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments.

| # | Effective Net Management Rate includes impact of management fee waivers of underlying funds, if any. |
The Funds invest in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Funds in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Funds in which each Fund invests. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, GSAM waived $431 and $1,022 of the Funds’ management fees for Clean Energy Income Fund and Energy Infrastructure Fund, respectively.
B. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A and Class R Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plans, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A or Class R Shares of the Funds, as applicable, as set forth below.
The Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Distribution Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution Plan, Goldman Sachs as Distributor is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.
| | | | | | |
| |
| | Distribution and/or Service Plan Rates |
| | | |
| | Class A* | | Class C | | Class R* |
| | | |
Distribution and/or Service Plan | | 0.25% | | 0.75% | | 0.50% |
| * | With respect to Class A and Class R Shares, the Distributor at its discretion may use compensation for distribution services paid under the Distribution and Service Plans to compensate service organizations for personal and account maintenance services and expenses as long as such total compensation does not exceed the maximum cap on “service fees” imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. |
C. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, Goldman Sachs retained $234 and $1,430 related to Clean Energy Income Class A Shares and Energy Infrastructure Class A Shares, respectively.
D. Service Plan — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted a Service Plan to allow Class C Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan provides for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares of the Funds.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.15% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 and Class P Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares. Prior to July 3, 2023, the fees charged for such transfer agency services were accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates of 0.16% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Clean Energy Income Fund and Energy Infrastructure Fund are 0.054% and 0.064%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least March 29, 2024, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Management Fee Waiver | | Transfer Agency Waivers/Credits | | Other Expense Reimbursements | | Total Expense Reductions |

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of November 30, 2023, the Funds participated in a $1,110,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 19, 2023, the facility was $1,250,000,000.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, Goldman Sachs earned $0 and $34,835 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Clean Energy Income Fund and Energy Infrastructure Fund, respectively.

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Purchases | | | Sales | |
|

|

The Clean Energy Income 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 its 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 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 November 30, 2023, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements 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 fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations. The following table provides information about the Fund’s investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023.

As of November 30, 2023, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Clean Energy Income | | Energy Infrastructure |
| | |
Tax Cost | | | $ | 130,307,344 | | | | $ | 204,517,191 | |

| | |
Net unrealized gain (loss) | | | $ | (32,484,195 | ) | | | $ | 145,819,537 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences in the tax treatment of partnership investments.
The Clean Energy Income Fund and Energy Infrastructure Fund reclassed $85,163 and $235,028, respectively from paid-in capital to distributable earnings for the year ending November 30, 2023. In order to present certain components of the Funds’ capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Funds’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and result primarily from prior year return of capital distributions and the differences in the tax treatment of partnership 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.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Clean Energy Sector Risk — The Clean Energy Income Fund concentrates its investments in the clean energy group of industries, and will therefore be susceptible to adverse economic, business, social, political, environmental, regulatory or other developments affecting that group of industries. Clean energy companies may be more volatile than companies operating in more established industries. Certain valuation methods used to value clean energy companies have not been in widespread use for a significant period of time and may further increase the volatility of certain clean energy company share prices. Clean energy companies and other companies operating in the clean energy group of industries are subject to specific risks, including, among others: fluctuations in commodity prices and/or interest rates; changes in governmental or environmental regulation; reduced
GOLDMAN SACHS ENERGY FUNDS
|
|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
availability of clean energy sources or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering; slowdowns in new construction; seasonal weather conditions, extreme weather or other natural disasters; and threats of attack by terrorists on certain clean energy assets. Clean energy companies can be significantly affected by the supply of, and demand for, particular energy products, which may result in overproduction or underproduction. Additionally, changes in the regulatory environment for clean energy companies may adversely impact their profitability. Obsolescence of existing technology, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, competition from new market entrants and general economic conditions can significantly affect companies in the clean energy group of industries. Certain investments may be dependent on U.S. and foreign government policies, including tax incentives and subsidies. Adhering to the clean energy company criteria and applying the Investment Adviser’s supplemental clean energy analysis may also affect the Fund’s performance relative to other energy sector-focused funds that do not adhere to such criteria or apply such analysis.
Dividend-Paying Investments Risk — A Fund’s investments in dividend-paying securities could cause a Fund to underperform other funds. Securities that pay dividends, as a group, can fall out of favor with the market, causing such securities to underperform securities that do not pay dividends. Depending upon market conditions and political and legislative responses to such conditions, dividend-paying securities that meet a Fund’s investment criteria may not be widely available and/or may be highly concentrated in only a few market sectors. In addition, issuers that have paid regular dividends or distributions to shareholders may not continue to do so at the same level or at all in the future. This may limit the ability of a Fund to produce current income.
Energy Sector Risk — The Energy Infrastructure Fund concentrates its investments in the energy sector, and will therefore be susceptible to adverse economic, business, social, political, environmental, regulatory or other developments affecting that sector. The energy sector has historically experienced substantial price volatility. MLPs, energy infrastructure companies and other companies operating in the energy sector are subject to specific risks, including, among others: fluctuations in commodity prices and/or interest rates; increased governmental or environmental regulation; reduced availability of natural gas or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering; declines in domestic or foreign production; slowdowns in new construction; extreme weather or other natural disasters; and threats of attack by terrorists on energy assets. Energy companies can be significantly affected by the supply of, and demand for, particular energy products (such as oil and natural gas), which may result in overproduction or underproduction. 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.
During periods of heightened volatility, energy producers that are burdened with debt may seek bankruptcy relief. Bankruptcy laws may permit the revocation or renegotiation of contracts between energy producers and MLPs/energy infrastructure companies, which could have a dramatic impact on the ability of MLPs/energy infrastructure companies to pay distributions to its investors, including the Energy Infrastructure Fund, which in turn could impact the ability of the Fund to pay dividends and dramatically impact the value of the Fund’s investments.
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation; less public information; less stringent investor protections; less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards; and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is impossible to predict. For example, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent a Fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions, and significantly impact a Fund’s liquidity and performance. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which may cause the

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which a Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in, or economically tied to, emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Infrastructure Company Risk — Infrastructure companies are susceptible to various factors that may negatively impact their businesses or operations, including costs associated with compliance with and changes in environmental, governmental and other regulations, rising interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs, government budgetary constraints that impact publicly funded projects, the effects of general economic conditions throughout the world, surplus capacity and depletion concerns, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties regarding the availability of fuel and other natural resources at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies, unfavorable tax laws or accounting policies and high leverage. Infrastructure companies will also be affected by innovations in technology that could render the way in which a company delivers a product or service obsolete and natural or man-made disasters.
Investments in ETFs Risk — The Funds may invest directly in ETFs, including affiliated ETFs. The Funds investments in ETFs will be subject to the restrictions applicable to investments by an investment company in other investment companies, unless relief is otherwise provided under the terms of an SEC exemptive order or SEC exemptive rule.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact a Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in a Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash or otherwise maintains a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
Liquidity Risk — A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, declining prices of the securities sold, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with the Funds’ investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). The value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly

impact a Fund and its investments. Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which a Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Master Limited Partnership Risk — Investments in securities of MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in common stock, including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks, limited liquidity and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unit-holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price.
Non-Diversification Risk — Each Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it is permitted to invest a larger percentage of its assets in one or more issuers or fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, each 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.
Private Investment Risk — The Funds may invest in PIPE securities. PIPE transactions typically involve the purchase of securities directly from a publicly traded company or its affiliates in a private placement transaction, typically at a discount to the market price of the company’s common stock. In a PIPE transaction, the Fund may bear the price risk from the time of pricing until the time of closing. Equity issued in this manner is often subject to transfer restrictions and is therefore less liquid than equity issued through a registered public offering. The Funds may be subject to lock-up agreements that prohibit transfers for a fixed period of time. In addition, because the sale of the securities in a PIPE transaction is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the securities are “restricted” and cannot be immediately resold into the public markets. The ability of the Funds to freely transfer restricted shares is conditioned upon, among other things, the SEC’s preparedness to declare the resale registration statement effective and the issuer’s right to suspend the Funds’ use of the resale registration statement if the issuer is pursuing a transaction or some other material non-public event is occurring. Accordingly, PIPE securities may be subject to risks associated with illiquid securities.
Tax Risks — Tax risks associated with investments in the Funds include but are not limited to the following:
MLP Tax Risk — MLPs are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Partnerships do not pay U.S. federal income tax at the partnership level. Rather, each partner is allocated a share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses. A change in current tax law or a change in the underlying business mix of a given MLP could result in an MLP being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which would result in the MLP being required to pay U.S. federal income tax (as well as state and local income taxes) on its taxable income. This would have the effect of reducing the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP and could result in a reduction in the value of a Fund’s investment in the MLP and lower income to the Fund.
To the extent a distribution received by a Fund from an MLP is treated as a return of capital, the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in the interests of the MLP will be reduced, which may increase the Fund’s tax liability upon the sale of the interests in the MLP or upon subsequent distributions in respect of such interests.
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.

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of Goldman Sachs Clean Energy Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Energy Infrastructure Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs Clean Energy Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Energy Infrastructure Fund (two of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of November 30, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year ended November 30, 2023, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of November 30, 2023, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2023 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments with respect to Class A Shares, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (generally with respect to Class C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R6, Class R and Class P Shares of 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 June 1, 2023 through November 30, 2023, which represents a period of 183 days of a 365-day year. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the 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 have been higher.

GOLDMAN SACHS ENERGY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Clean Energy Income Fund and the Goldman Sachs Energy Infrastructure Fund (the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2024 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on June 13-14, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held two meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services, and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance, and central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training); |
| (iii) | trends in employee headcount; |
| (iv) | the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and |
| (v) | the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its mutual fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management; |
| (b) | information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparisons to the performance of similar mutual funds, as provided by a third-party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and a benchmark performance index; and information on general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests; |
| (c) | information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy; |
| (d) | the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (e) | fee and expense information for the Fund, including: |
| (i) | the relative management fee and expense levels of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider; |
| (ii) | the Fund’s expense trends over time; and |
| (iii) | to the extent the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts (such as bank collective trusts, private wealth management accounts, institutional separate accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, and non-U.S. funds) having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser; |
| (f) | with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund; |
| (g) | the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations; |
| (h) | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (i) | whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
| (j) | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, portfolio trading, distribution and other services; |
GOLDMAN SACHS ENERGY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
| (k) | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (l) | information regarding commissions paid by the Fund and broker oversight, an update on the Investment Adviser’s soft dollars practices, other information regarding portfolio trading, and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution; |
| (m) | portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers; |
| (n) | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and |
| (o) | the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
The Trustees also received an overview of the Funds’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Funds’ assets, share purchase and redemption activity, and payment of distribution and service fees. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Fund shares. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical events, and economic sanctions, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees also considered information regarding the Investment Adviser’s business continuity planning and remote operations capabilities. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and (with respect to the Energy Infrastructure Fund) ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2022, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2023. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods. The Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance relative to its
GOLDMAN SACHS ENERGY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
The Trustees observed that the Energy Infrastructure Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the five-year period and in the third quartile for the one- and three-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one- and five-year periods and underperformed for the three-year period ended March 31, 2023. They noted that the Energy Infrastructure Fund had experienced certain portfolio management changes in early 2023. The Trustees observed that the Clean Energy Income Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the fourth quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2023.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates payable by each Fund thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as registered mutual funds.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee and breakpoints to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Fund’s other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.
In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Profitability
The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization periodically audits the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. Profitability data for each Fund was provided for 2022 and 2021, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for each of the Funds at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Funds:
GOLDMAN SACHS ENERGY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
| | | | | | | | |
| | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Clean Energy Income | | | Energy Infrastructure | |
First $1 billion | | | 0.80 | % | | | 1.00 | % |
| | |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.72 | | | | 0.90 | |
| | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.68 | | | | 0.86 | |
| | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.67 | | | | 0.84 | |
| | |
Over $8 billion | | | 0.66 | | | | 0.82 | |
The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Funds and their shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Funds; the Funds’ recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, 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 derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds as stated above, 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 Funds; (c) research received by the Investment Adviser from broker-dealers in exchange for executing certain transactions on behalf of the Funds; (d) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (e) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Funds’ securities lending cash collateral is invested; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (g) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (h) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (i) 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 Funds; (j) the investment of cash and cash collateral in money market funds managed by the Investment Adviser that will result in increased assets under management for those money market funds; and (k) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Funds’ third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain other potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) enhanced servicing from broker-dealers due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties on behalf of the Funds as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (g) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (h) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the
GOLDMAN SACHS ENERGY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until June 30, 2024.

Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies Each of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Funds seek to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity by investing exclusively in high quality money market instruments. The Goldman Sachs Prime Obligations Fund and the Goldman Sachs Money Market Fund pursue this investment objective by investing in U.S. government securities, obligations of banks (which may exceed 25% of its assets), commercial paper and other short-term obligations of U.S. companies, states, municipalities and other entities, and repurchase agreements (“repos”). They may also invest in U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign banks, foreign companies and foreign governments. The Goldman Sachs Treasury Obligations Fund pursues the investment objective by investing only in U.S. Treasury obligations and repos collateralized by U.S. Treasury obligations. The Goldman Sachs Treasury Instruments Fund pursues the investment objective by investing only in U.S. Treasury obligations, the interest from which is generally exempt from state income taxation. The Goldman Sachs Treasury Solutions Fund pursues the investment objective by investing only in U.S. Treasury obligations and repos with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York collateralized by U.S. Treasury obligations. The Goldman Sachs Government Fund pursues the investment objective by investing only in U.S. government securities and repos collateralized by such securities. The Goldman Sachs Federal Instruments Fund pursues the investment objective by investing only in U.S. government securities, the interest from which is generally exempt from state income taxation. |

Below, the Goldman Sachs Money Market Portfolio Management Team discusses the Funds’ performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | What economic and market factors most influenced the money markets as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the money markets were most influenced by Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policy, inflationary trends and U.S. economic data. |
In December 2022, when the Reporting Period began, the Fed announced a 50 basis point interest rate hike, raising the targeted federal funds (“fed funds”) rate to a range between
4.25% and 4.50%, following four successive 75 basis point hikes. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) However, policymakers emphasized they were not stepping back from their goal of taming inflation. The Fed’s median dot plot projection, which shows the interest rate projections of the members of the Federal Open Market Committee, signaled a peak federal funds rate of between 5.00% and 5.25%. The U.S. economy added 223,000 jobs in December, and the unemployment rate fell to a pre-pandemic cycle low of 3.5%. Annual U.S. inflation declined from 7.2% to 6.4%,
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
the sixth consecutive monthly fall and its lowest level in over a year. However, core prices increased, rising 0.3% month over month.
During the first quarter of 2023, the Fed continued tightening monetary policy, raising the fed funds rate twice—by 25 basis points in both February and March. In mid-March, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank failed, marking the largest U.S. regional bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis. That same month, the Swiss government brokered a deal for UBS to purchase Credit Suisse, which was on the brink of collapse. During the quarter overall, a tight labor market and firm inflation supported the U.S. dollar, though economic growth headwinds from tighter financial and credit conditions led to dovish monetary policy expectations, weighing on the currency. (Dovish tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.)
In the second quarter of 2023, the Fed raised the fed funds rate by another 25 basis points at its May policy meeting and signaled a willingness to pause on further rate actions, as U.S. inflation had started to moderate. Also in May, First Republic Bank was seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and sold to JP Morgan Chase. In early June, the resolution of U.S. debt ceiling negotiations, coupled with the easing of banking sector stress, improved investor sentiment overall. Fed policymakers left interest rates unchanged at their June meeting, though Fed Chair Jerome Powell suggested hiking rates “at consecutive meetings is not off the table.” The Fed’s June dot plot showed a median projection of two additional rate hikes in 2023.
During the third quarter of 2023, Fed officials hiked the fed funds rate by an additional 25 basis points at their July policy meeting but remained on hold at their September meeting. Resilient U.S. economic data and market expectations that policy rates would stay higher for longer pushed up the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, which hit 4.63% on September 27th—its highest level since 2007. In August, Fitch Ratings downgraded long-term U.S. sovereign debt from AAA to AA+, reflecting U.S. government and medium-term fiscal challenges. Subsequently, Moody’s Investors Service took ratings action on 27 U.S. banks in response to profitability concerns, low regulatory capital among regional banks compared to larger banks and global peers, and potential losses on loans (particularly for those with large commercial real estate exposure). The U.S. labor market remained strong, continuing to make progress toward rebalancing itself from pandemic-era extremes. Inflation eased overall, but there was a reacceleration in some key components. Nevertheless, the U.S. remained on a disinflationary path, supporting market expectations that the Fed may have reached the end of its current interest rate hiking cycle.
In October 2023, U.S. Treasury yields rose to multi-year highs, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield briefly breaching 5% for the first time since 2007. The increase was driven, in our view, by better than previously anticipated U.S. economic
growth prospects, which dampened market expectations for Fed interest rate cuts in 2024. The Fed left the fed funds rate unchanged in October, as tighter financial conditions, led by higher long-term interest rates, alleviated the need, as determined by the Fed, for further policy tightening.
November 2023 saw the greatest easing of U.S. financial conditions in any month during the previous 40 years. The easing was largely the result of a significant drop in interest rates, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield falling approximately 51 basis points during the month. Weaker inflation data and ongoing disinflation trends suggested the Fed might have reached the peak of its monetary policy tightening cycle. At their November meeting, Fed policymakers left the fed funds rate unchanged in a range between 5.25% and 5.50%.
In this environment, the yields of money market funds increased. Investments in U.S. taxable money market funds rose during the Reporting Period, from approximately $4.5 trillion to $5.7 trillion, according to iMoneyNet. Money market funds overall continued to be viable investments for investors seeking stability, liquidity and/or yield amid ongoing uncertainty and elevated volatility in the financial markets broadly.
During the Reporting Period, the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted changes to the rules that govern money market funds. While some of these changes have already taken effect, the remaining changes will take effect either by April 2, 2024 or October 2, 2024.
1. Effective October 2, 2023, institutional and retail money market funds were no longer permitted to temporarily restrict redemptions (a “redemption gate”) and/ or impose a liquidity fee on redemptions (up to 2%) if the applicable fund’s portfolio liquidity fell below the required minimums. Government money market funds are exempt from requirements relating to these redemption gates and/or liquidity fees.
2. Effective April 2, 2024, institutional and retail money market funds will be permitted to impose a discretionary liquidity fee on redemptions (up to 2%), if the applicable fund’s board of trustees (or its delegate) determines that it is in the best interests of the fund to do so. Government money market funds will continue to be exempt from requirements relating to these discretionary liquidity fees. Institutional and retail money market funds may choose to rely on this modified discretionary liquidity fee framework prior to April 2, 2024.
3. Effective April 2, 2024, all money market funds will be required to increase their minimum levels of daily and weekly liquid assets from 10% and 30%, respectively, to 25% and 50%, respectively.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
4. Effective October 2, 2024, institutional money market funds will be required to impose a mandatory liquidity fee on redemptions, if the applicable fund experiences total daily net redemptions that exceed 5% of net assets, unless the fee is de minimis (i.e., less than 1 basis point of the value of the shares redeemed). Government and retail money market funds will be exempt from these requirements.
Q | What key factors were responsible for the performance of the Funds during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Funds’ yields increased during the Reporting Period primarily because of the economic and market factors discussed above. Yields rose along the money market yield curve, as the Fed raised the fed funds rate and tightened monetary policy. (Yield curve is a spectrum of interest rates based on maturities of varying lengths.) That said, the money market yield curve inverted during the Reporting Period. (In an inverted yield curve, shorter-term yields are higher than longer-term yields.) The middle segment of the yield curve rose well above the one-year segment early in the Reporting Period, though this inversion eased slightly toward the end of the Reporting Period. |
During the Reporting Period, the Funds’ positioning along the money market yield curve and in specific securities was predicated on market expectations about interest rates and the potential of additional Fed rate hikes in the near term.
Q | How did you manage the Funds during the Reporting Period? |
A | Collectively, the Funds had investments in commercial paper, asset-backed commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, government agency securities, time deposits, certificates of deposit, floating rate securities, repurchase agreements (“repos”), non-U.S. sovereign debt, municipal securities and variable rate demand notes (“VRDNs”) during the Reporting Period. |
In our commercial paper strategies, we maintained a weighted average maturity of between 15 and 54 days in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund and a weighted average maturity of between 13 and 55 days in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund during the Reporting Period. Among our government repo strategies, we maintained a weighted average maturity of between 7 and 50 days in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, a weighted average maturity of between 1 and 46 days in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Obligations Fund and a weighted average maturity of between 2 and 49 days in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Solutions Fund. Within our government non-repo strategies, we maintained a weighted average maturity of between 17 and 51 days in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund and a weighted average maturity of between 18 and 59 days in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square
Treasury Instruments Fund. At any given time, a Fund’s weighted average maturity is based on how market interest rates compare with our near-term expectations, including supply dynamics and monetary policy.
During the Reporting Period overall, our commercial paper strategies focused their investments on commercial paper, asset-backed commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, certificates of deposit and repos. Our government repo strategies focused their investments on government agency securities, government agency repos, U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Treasury repos. Our government non-repo strategies focused their investments on government agency securities and U.S. Treasury securities.
The weighted average maturity of a money market fund is a measure of its price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Also known as effective maturity, weighted average maturity measures the weighted average of the maturity date of bonds held by the Funds, taking into consideration any available maturity shortening features.
Q | How did you manage the Funds’ weighted average life during the Reporting Period? |
A | In our commercial paper strategies, we managed the Funds’ weighted average life in a range between approximately 54 and 102 days during the Reporting Period. In our government repo strategies, we managed the Funds’ weighted average life in a range between approximately 22 and 117 days. In our government non-repo strategies, we managed the Funds’ weighted average life in a range between approximately 77 and 120 days. The weighted average life of a money market fund is a measure of a money market fund’s price sensitivity to changes in liquidity and/or credit risk. |
Under amendments to SEC Rule 2a-7 that became effective in May 2010, the maximum allowable weighted average life of a money market fund is 120 days. While one of the goals of the SEC’s money market fund rule is to reinforce conservative investment practices across the money market fund industry, our security selection process has long emphasized conservative investment choices.
Q | Did you make any changes to the Funds’ portfolios during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, we made adjustments to the Funds’ weighted average maturities and their allocations to specific investments based on then-current market conditions, our near-term view and anticipated and actual Fed monetary policy statements. |
Q | What is the Funds’ tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | At the end of the Reporting Period, with inflationary pressures subsiding, U.S. economic data had begun to support the possibility of a “soft landing.” (A soft landing, in economics, |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
is a cyclical downturn that avoids recession. It typically describes attempts by central banks to raise interest rates just enough to stop an economy from overheating and experiencing high inflation, without causing a significant increase in unemployment, or a hard landing.) In our view, the Fed had reached an inflection point with respect to policy rates, and we believed it was likely the Fed would begin to lower rates in the first half of 2024. (At its December 2023 meeting, following the end of the Reporting Period, the Fed left interest rates unchanged and indicated that three rate cuts were possible in 2024.)
Market liquidity concerns at the end of the Reporting Period centered on the Fed’s quantitative tightening (that is, reduction in the size of its balance sheet), the Fed’s reverse repo (“RRP”) facility and the continued large issuance of Treasury securities across all maturities—which, collectively, remove a significant amount of cash from the U.S. monetary system. (Through the RRP facility, the Fed borrows from financial entities, including money market mutual funds.) As a result, we thought short-term interest rates could fall in the near-term compared to policy rate path proxies, such as overnight indexed swaps.
Going forward, the Funds will continue to be flexibly guided by shifting market conditions, and we have positioned them to align with our market and policy outlooks. Duration management and duration positioning will continue to play key roles in the management of the Funds. (Duration is a measure of a fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) That said, regardless of the interest rate environment, we intend to utilize an active management approach to provide the best possible return within the framework of the Funds’ guidelines and objectives. Our investment approach remains tri-fold—to seek preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximization of yield potential. We will continue to manage interest, liquidity and credit risk daily. We will also continue to closely monitor economic data, Fed policy and any shifts in the taxable and tax-exempt money market yield curves, as we strive to navigate the interest rate environment.

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

1 | The Treasury Obligations Fund offers nine separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier and Resource), the Money Market Fund offers five separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Administration, and Service), the Treasury Solutions Fund offers eight separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, and Premier), the Treasury Instruments Fund offers ten separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier, Loop Class, and Seelaus Class), the Federal Instruments Fund offers seven separate classes of shares (Institutional, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management and Class D), the Prime Obligations Fund offers six separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, and Drexel Hamilton Class), and the Government Fund offers sixteen separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier, Resource, Drexel Hamilton Class, Loop Class, Seelaus Class, Class R6, Class A, Class C and Class D), each of which is subject to different fees and expenses that affect performance and entitles shareholders to different services. The Institutional, Drexel Hamilton Class, Loop Class, Seelaus Class, Class R6, and Class D 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 Funds’ performances do 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. |

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS
|
Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2023 |
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 |
| | |
Federal Instruments Fund | | D, Institutional, Capital, Service, Preferred, Administration, and Cash Management and Premier | | Diversified |
| | |
Government Fund | | A, C, D, Institutional, Capital, Service, Preferred, Select, Administration, Cash Management, Premier, Resource, R6, Drexel Hamilton, Loop, and Seelaus | | Diversified |
| | |
Money Market Fund | | Institutional, Service, Preferred, Select, and Administration | | Diversified |

| | |
Treasury Solutions Fund | | Capital, Institutional, Service, Preferred, Select, Administration, Cash Management, and Premier | | 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.
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). The Institutional Money Market Funds have adopted policies and procedures that allow the Trustees to impose a liquidity fee if the Trustees determine that it is in the best interest of a Fund to do so. In addition, effective October 2, 2024, the Institutional Money Market Funds generally must impose a liquidity fee when net sales of Fund shares exceed certain levels.

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 securities dealers, or, where accurate market quotations are not readily available, on the basis of the security’s fair value as
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS
|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) November 30, 2023 |
|
|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
determined in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. 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, each Fund is 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.
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 level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The 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. With respect to the Funds’ investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Valuation Designee”). GSAM has day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation (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 November 30, 2023, all investments, 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 Agreement — 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.
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 fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, Goldman Sachs retained $2,177 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 acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 March 29, 2024, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees.
In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the 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.

For the period ended November 30, 2023, the Financial Square Federal Instruments, Financial Square Prime Obligations, Financial Square Treasury Obligations and Financial Square Treasury Solutions utilized $556,016, $34,872, $2,513,382 and $1,234,616, respectively, in Capital Loss Carryforwards.
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.
In order to present certain components of the Funds’ capital accounts on a tax basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Funds’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the NAV of the Funds and result primarily from dividend redesignations, non-deductible expenses and net operating losses.
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.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
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.
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 investments will generally decline. A wide variety of market factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation and changes in general economic conditions. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from Fund performance. In addition, changes in monetary policy may exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. 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 current income, or minimize the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share and/ or achieve its investment objective. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of the Fund investments. A sudden or unpredictable increase in interest rates may cause volatility in the market and may decrease the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which would make it harder for the Fund to sell its investments at an advantageous time.
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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) November 30, 2023 |
|
|
6. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
Liquidity Risk — The 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. The liquidity of portfolio securities can deteriorate rapidly due to credit events affecting issuers or guarantors, such as a credit rating downgrade, or due to general market conditions or a lack of willing buyers. An inability to sell one or more portfolio positions, or selling such positions at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, can adversely affect a Fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price (or, for the Institutional Money market Funds, can increase the volatility of a Fund’s NAV per share). Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, declining prices of the securities sold, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. 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 money market and other fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Funds 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, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments. Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which a Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
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.
Exemptive Orders — Pursuant to SEC exemptive orders, the Funds may enter into certain principal transactions, including repurchase agreements, with Goldman Sachs.
Pursuant to an effort to consolidate the membership of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) with the Board of Trustees of each of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Trust II and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, in July 2023, the Board voted to nominate Cheryl K. Beebe, John G. Chou, Eileen H. Dowling, Lawrence Hughes, John F. Killian, Steven D. Krichmar, Michael Latham, Lawrence W. Stranghoener and Paul C. Wirth (the “Nominees”) for election as Trustees of the Trust. Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling currently serve as Trustees of the Trust. At a virtual special joint meeting of shareholders held on November 16, 2023, each of the Nominees (except Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling) was elected to serve as Trustees alongside the current Trustees of the Trust, effective January 1, 2024. Each of Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling was also elected at the meeting and continue to serve as Trustees of the Trust.

All 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of Goldman Sachs Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Obligations Fund, and Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Solutions Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Obligations Fund, and Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Solutions Fund (seven of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of November 30, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year ended November 30, 2023, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of November 30, 2023, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2023 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

GOLDMAN SACHS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Obligations Fund, and Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Solutions Fund (the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2024 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on June 13-14, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held two meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services, and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance, and central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training); |
| (iii) | trends in employee headcount; |
| (iv) | the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and |
| (v) | the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its mutual fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management; |
| (b) | information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparisons to the performance of similar mutual funds, as provided by a third-party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and information on general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests; |
| (c) | the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (d) | fee and expense information for the Fund, including: |
| (i) | the relative management fee and expense levels of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider; |
| (ii) | the Fund’s expense trends over time; and |
| (iii) | to the extent the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts (such as bank collective trusts, private wealth management accounts, institutional separate accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, and non-U.S. funds) having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser; |
| (e) | with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund; |
| (f) | the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations; |
| (g) | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (h) | whether the Fund’s existing management fee adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
| (i) | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, distribution and other services; |
| (j) | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (k) | information regarding portfolio trading and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution; |
| (l) | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and |
GOLDMAN SACHS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
| (m) | the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
The Trustees also received an overview of the Funds’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Funds’ assets, share purchase and redemption activity, and payment of distribution, service, and shareholder administration fees, as applicable. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Fund shares. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical events, and economic sanctions, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees also considered information regarding the Investment Adviser’s business continuity planning and remote operations capabilities. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2022. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
The Trustees considered the performance of the Funds in light of their respective investment policies and strategies. They considered that, since March 2022, the Federal Reserve has implemented a series of interest rate increases in response to inflationary pressures impacting the broader economy, and the Funds’ yields had improved compared to other recent periods as a result. They noted that the Investment Adviser has subsequently been able to reduce the amount of fees waived and/or reimbursed relative to such amounts waived and/or reimbursed during recent challenging yield environments, including the near-zero interest rate environment following the market disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and related actions by the Federal Reserve. The Trustees acknowledged, however, that the interest rate environment remains uncertain in light of broader economic conditions. They considered that, during the relevant period, the Investment Adviser had voluntarily waived fees for all of the Funds and reimbursed expenses for the Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund, Financial Square Money Market Fund, and Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund, in order to maintain competitive yields. The Trustees also considered that each of the Government Money

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
Market Funds had maintained a stable net asset value per share. With respect to each of the Prime Institutional Money Market Funds, the Trustee acknowledged that the net asset value per share for each of the Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund and Financial Square Money Market Fund had experienced some principal volatility in connection with the market disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and that their net asset value subsequently had generally stabilized and experienced minimal principal volatility during the relevant period. In addition, the Trustees observed that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) is likely to adopt certain reforms to the regulatory framework governing money market funds and that compliance with those reforms could require a significant investment of resources by the Investment Adviser. In light of these considerations, the Trustees believed that the Funds were providing investment performance within a competitive range for investors.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates payable by each Fund thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as registered mutual funds.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Fund’s other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.
In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. They noted that the Investment Adviser and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) had voluntarily waived fees for the Financial Square Prime Obligations and Financial Square Money Market Funds, contractually waived fees for the Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund, and reimbursed expenses for the Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund and Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund in order to maintain competitive yields. They observed that the Investment Adviser had reduced its voluntary management fee waivers for the Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund and Financial Square Money Market Fund throughout the year with the rise in interest rates. They also acknowledged the growth of the Funds, particularly the relative growth of the Financial Square Money Market Fund and Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund, in recent periods. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Profitability
The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization periodically audits the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. Profitability data for each Fund was provided for 2022 and 2021, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds.
The Trustees noted that the Funds do not have management fee breakpoints. They considered the asset levels in the Funds; the Funds’ recent purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing the contractual fee
GOLDMAN SACHS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other money market funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels. They considered a report prepared by the Outside Data Provider, which surveyed money market funds’ management fee arrangements and use of breakpoints. The Trustees also considered the competitive nature of the money market fund business and the competitiveness of the fees charged to the Funds by the Investment Adviser.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs; (b) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (e) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (f) Goldman Sachs’ ability to engage in principal transactions with the Funds under exemptive orders from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission permitting such trades; (g) 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 Funds; (h) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Funds’ third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs; and (i) reputational benefits associated with the distribution of certain Fund share classes designed to help further diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain other potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) enhanced servicing from broker-dealers due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (f) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (g) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until June 30, 2024.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended November 30, 2023 (Unaudited) |
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Class D, Institutional, Capital, Service, Preferred, Select, Administration, Cash Management, Premier, Resource, Class R6, Drexel Hamilton Class, Loop Class or Seelaus 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 Shares, Drexel Hamilton Class, Loop Class or Seelaus 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 June 1, 2023 through November 30, 2023, which represents a period of 183 days in a 365-day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the 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.

Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies The Goldman Sachs Investor Funds seek to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity by investing exclusively in high quality money market instruments. The Goldman Sachs Investor Money Market Fund pursues this investment objective by investing in U.S. government securities, obligations of banks (which may exceed 25% of its total assets), commercial paper and other short-term obligations of U.S. companies, states, municipalities and other entities, and repurchase agreements (“repos”). It may also invest in U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign banks, foreign companies and foreign governments. The Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund pursues the investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets in securities issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the U.S. and their political subdivisions, agencies, authorities and instrumentalities, and the District of Columbia. It may also invest in short-term taxable instruments, including repos with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, for temporary investment purposes. |
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust held on June 13-14, 2023, the Trustees approved the termination of the Resource Share Class of the Goldman Sachs Investor Funds (the “Funds”). This termination occurred on July 14, 2023. Effective June 15, 2023, Resource Shares of the Funds were no longer sold to new investors or existing shareholders (except through reinvested dividends) and were no longer eligible for exchanges from other Goldman Sachs Funds. In addition, Resource Shares of the Funds were closed to all new accounts.
Below, the Goldman Sachs Money Market Portfolio Management Team discusses the Funds’ performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | What economic and market factors most influenced the money markets as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the money markets were most influenced by Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policy and the outlook for the U.S. economy. |
| In December 2022, when the Reporting Period began, the Fed announced a 50 basis point interest rate hike, raising the targeted federal funds (“fed funds”) rate to a range between 4.25% and 4.50%, following four successive 75 basis point hikes. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) However, policymakers emphasized they were not stepping back from their goal of taming inflation. The Fed’s median dot plot projection, which shows the interest rate projections of the members of the Federal Open Market Committee, signaled a peak federal funds rate of between 5.00% and 5.25%. The U.S. economy added 223,000 jobs in December, and the unemployment rate fell to a pre-pandemic cycle low of 3.5%. Annual U.S. inflation declined from 7.2% to 6.4%, the sixth consecutive monthly decrease and its lowest level in over a year. However, core prices increased, rising 0.3% month over month. |
| During the first quarter of 2023, the Fed continued tightening monetary policy, raising the fed funds rate twice—by 25 basis points in both February and March. In mid-March, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank failed, marking the largest U.S. bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis. That same month, the Swiss government brokered a deal for UBS to purchase Credit Suisse, which was on the brink of collapse. During the quarter overall, a tight labor market and firm inflation supported the U.S. dollar, though economic growth headwinds from tighter financial and credit conditions led to dovish monetary policy expectations, weighing on the currency. (Dovish tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) |
| In the second quarter of 2023, the Fed raised the fed funds rate by another 25 basis points at its May policy meeting and signaled a willingness to pause on further rate actions, as U.S. inflation had started to moderate. Also in May, First Republic Bank was seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and sold to JP Morgan Chase. In early June, the resolution of U.S. debt ceiling negotiations, coupled with the easing of banking sector stress, improved investor sentiment overall. Fed policymakers left interest rates unchanged at their June meeting, though Fed Chair Jerome Powell suggested |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| hiking rates “at consecutive meetings is not off the table.” The Fed’s June dot plot showed a median projection of two additional rate hikes in 2023. |
| During the third quarter of 2023, Fed officials hiked the fed funds rate by an additional 25 basis points at their July policy meeting but remained on hold at their September meeting. Resilient U.S. economic data and market expectations that policy rates would stay higher for longer pushed up the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, which hit 4.63% on September 27th—its highest level since 2007. In August, Fitch Ratings downgraded long-term U.S. sovereign debt from AAA to AA+, reflecting U.S. government and medium-term fiscal challenges. Subsequently, Moody’s Investors Service took ratings action on 27 U.S. banks in response to profitability concerns, low regulatory capital among regional banks compared to larger banks and global peers, and potential losses on loans (particularly for those with large commercial real estate exposure). The U.S. labor market remained strong, continuing to make progress toward rebalancing itself from pandemic-era extremes. Inflation eased overall, but there was a reacceleration in some key components. Nevertheless, the U.S. remained on a disinflationary path, supporting market expectations that the Fed may have reached the end of its current interest rate hiking cycle. |
| In October 2023, U.S. Treasury yields rose to multi-year highs, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield briefly breaching 5% for the first time since 2007. The increase was driven, in our view, by better than previously anticipated U.S. economic growth prospects, which dampened market expectations for Fed interest rate cuts in 2024. The Fed left the fed funds rate unchanged in October, as tighter financial conditions, led by higher long-term interest rates, alleviated the need, as determined by the Fed, for further policy tightening. |
| November 2023 saw the greatest easing of U.S. financial conditions in any month during the previous 40 years. The easing was largely the result of a significant drop in interest rates, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield falling approximately 51 basis points during the month. Weaker inflation data and ongoing disinflation trends suggested the Fed might have reached the peak of its monetary policy tightening cycle. At their November meeting, Fed policymakers left the fed funds rate unchanged in a range between 5.25% and 5.50%. |
| In this environment, the yields of taxable and tax-exempt money market funds increased. Investments in U.S. taxable money market funds rose during the Reporting Period from approximately $4.5 trillion to $5.7 trillion, according to iMoneyNet. U.S. tax-exempt money market fund investments increased during the Reporting Period from $108 billion to $122 billion, according to iMoneyNet. Money market funds overall continued to be viable investments for investors seeking stability, liquidity and/or yield amid ongoing uncertainty and elevated volatility in the financial markets broadly. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted changes to the rules that govern money market funds. While some of these changes have already taken effect, the remaining changes will take effect either by April 2, 2024 or October 2, 2024. |
| 1. Effective October 2, 2023, institutional and retail money market funds were no longer permitted to temporarily restrict redemptions (a “redemption gate”) and/ or impose a liquidity fee on redemptions (up to 2%) if the applicable fund’s portfolio liquidity fell below the required minimums. Government money market funds are exempt from requirements relating to these redemption gates and/or liquidity fees. |
| 2. Effective April 2, 2024, institutional and retail money market funds will be permitted to impose a discretionary liquidity fee on redemptions (up to 2%), if the applicable fund’s board of trustees (or its delegate) determines that it is in the best interests of the fund to do so. Government money market funds will continue to be exempt from requirements relating to these discretionary liquidity fees. Institutional and retail money market funds may choose to rely on this modified discretionary liquidity fee framework prior to April 2, 2024. |
| 3. Effective April 2, 2024, all money market funds will be required to increase their minimum levels of daily and weekly liquid assets from 10% and 30%, respectively, to 25% and 50%, respectively. |
| 4. Effective October 2, 2024, institutional money market funds will be required to impose a mandatory liquidity fee on redemptions, if the applicable fund experiences total daily net redemptions that exceed 5% of net assets, unless the fee is de minimis (i.e., less than one basis point of the value of the shares redeemed). Government and retail money market funds will be exempt from these requirements. |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the performance of the Funds during the Reporting Period? |
A | The yields of the Goldman Sachs Investor Money Market Fund (“the taxable Fund”) and the Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (“the tax-exempt Fund”) rose during the Reporting Period largely because of the economic and market factors discussed above. |
| Yields rose along both the taxable and tax-exempt money market yield curves, as the Fed raised the fed funds rate and tightened monetary policy. (Yield curve is a spectrum of interest rates based on maturities of varying lengths.) That said, both yield curves inverted during the Reporting Period. (In an inverted yield curve, shorter-term yields are higher than longer-term yields.) On the taxable money market yield curve, the middle segments rose well above the one-year segment during the second quarter of 2023, fell during the third quarter |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| and then rose again during the fourth quarter. As for the tax-exempt money market yield curve, its inversion was in the very front end, as shorter-term segments moved sharply higher than longer-term segments. This reflected the jump in the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) Municipal Swap Index, a seven-day high-grade market index comprised of tax-exempt variable rate demand obligations, which rose 140 basis points during the Reporting Period. |
Q | How did you manage the taxable Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, we focused the taxable Fund’s investments in U.S. Treasury securities, government agency repurchase agreements (“repos”), variable rate demand notes (“VRDNs”), financial company commercial paper, certificates of deposit and asset-backed commercial paper. The Fund also had investments in other types of commercial paper, government agency securities, time deposits, floating rate securities, non-U.S. sovereign debt and municipal securities during the Reporting Period. |
| We maintained the taxable Fund’s weighted average maturity in a range between 15 and 56 days during the Reporting Period. At any given time, the taxable Fund’s weighted average maturity is based on how market interest rates compare with our near-term expectations, including supply dynamics and monetary policy. At the end of the Reporting Period, the weighted average maturity of the taxable Fund was 49 days. |
| The weighted average maturity of a money market fund is a measure of its price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Also known as effective maturity, weighted average maturity measures the weighted average of the maturity date of bonds held by a Fund, taking into consideration any available maturity shortening features. |
Q | How did you manage the tax-exempt Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, we focused the tax-exempt Fund’s investments in VRDNs, commercial paper and other municipal securities. |
| We maintained the tax-exempt Fund’s weighted average maturity in a range between 12 and 57 days during the Reporting Period. Throughout the Reporting Period, we decreased the tax-exempt Fund’s allocation to VRDNs. At any given time, the tax-exempt Fund’s weighted average maturity is based on how market interest rates compare with our near-term expectations, including supply dynamics and monetary policy. The tax-exempt Fund’s weighted average maturity was 27 days at the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | How did you manage the Funds’ weighted average life during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, we managed the weighted average life of the taxable and tax-exempt Funds at less than 120 days. In the taxable Fund, we maintained a weighted average life in a range between 60 and 97 days. In the tax-exempt Fund, we maintained a weighted average life in a range between 12 and 91 days. The weighted average life of a money market fund is a measure of a money market fund’s price sensitivity to changes in liquidity and/or credit risk. |
| Under amendments to SEC Rule 2a-7 that became effective in May 2010, the maximum allowable weighted average life of a money market fund is 120 days. While one of the goals of the SEC’s money market fund rule is to reinforce conservative investment practices across the money market fund industry, our security selection process has long emphasized conservative investment choices. |
Q | Did you make any changes to the Funds’ portfolios during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, we made adjustments to the Funds’ weighted average maturities and their allocations to specific investments based on then-current market conditions, our near-term view and anticipated and actual Fed monetary policy statements. |
Q | What is the Funds’ tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | At the end of the Reporting Period, with inflationary pressures subsiding, U.S. economic data had begun to support the possibility of a “soft landing.” (A soft landing, in economics, is a cyclical downturn that avoids recession. It typically describes attempts by central banks to raise interest rates just enough to stop an economy from overheating and experiencing high inflation, without causing a significant increase in unemployment, or a hard landing.) In our view, the Fed had reached an inflection point with respect to policy rates, and we believed it was likely the Fed would begin to lower rates in the first half of 2024. (At its December 2023 meeting, following the end of the Reporting Period, the Fed left interest rates unchanged and indicated that three rate cuts were possible in 2024.) |
| Market liquidity concerns at the end of the Reporting Period centered on the Fed’s quantitative tightening (that is, reduction in the size of its balance sheet), the Fed’s reverse repo (“RRP”) facility and the continued large issuance of Treasury securities across all maturities—which, collectively, remove a significant amount of cash from the U.S. monetary system. (Through the RRP facility, the Fed borrows from financial entities, including money market mutual funds.) As a result, we thought short-term interest rates could fall in the near-term compared to policy rate path proxies, such as overnight indexed swaps. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Going forward, the taxable and tax-exempt Funds will continue to be flexibly guided by shifting market conditions, and we have positioned them to align with our market and policy outlooks. Duration management and duration positioning will continue to play key roles in the management of the Funds. (Duration is a measure of a fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) That said, regardless of the interest rate environment, we intend to utilize an active management approach to provide the best possible return within the framework of the Funds’ guidelines and objectives. Our investment approach remains tri-fold—to seek preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximization of yield potential. We will continue to manage interest, liquidity and credit risk daily. We will also continue to closely monitor economic data, Fed policy and any shifts in the taxable and tax-exempt money market yield curves, as we strive to navigate the interest rate environment. |

INVESTOR MONEY MARKET FUNDS ∎ Money Market ∎ Tax-Exempt Money Market 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 bank account or a deposit of the bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor is not required to reimburse the Fund for losses, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time, including during periods of market stress. |

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, Class D, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Class A and Class C Shares) and the Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund offers ten separate classes of shares (Class I, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, 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, 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%, 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 Funds’ performances do 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. November 2023. 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 U.S. Treasury, U.S. other, repos, time deposits, domestic bank obligations, foreign bank obligations, first tier commercial paper, floating rate notes, and asset-backed commercial paper. |

Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2023 |
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 | | A, C, D, I, Service, Administration and Cash Management | | Diversified |
| | |
Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market | | A, C, I, Capital, Service, Preferred, Select, Administration, Cash Management and Premier | | 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.
The Funds have adopted policies and procedures that allow the Trustees to impose a liquidity fee if the Trustees determine that it is in the best interests of a Fund to do so.
|
|
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 the Valuation Procedures. 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.
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR 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 (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.
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 level in the fair value hierarchy

within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The 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. With respect to the Funds’ investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Valuation Designee”). GSAM has day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation (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 November 30, 2023, all investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Please refer to the Schedules of Investments for further detail.

I. Line of Credit Facility — As of November 30, 2023, the Funds participated in a $1,110,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized.

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.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
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.
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.
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 investments will generally decline. A wide variety of market factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation and changes in general economic conditions. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from Fund performance. In addition, changes in monetary policy may exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. A low interest rate environment poses additional risks to a Fund, because low 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 current income, or minimize the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share and/or achieve its investment objective. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of the Fund investments.
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

|
|
6. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
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. The liquidity of portfolio securities can deteriorate rapidly due to credit events affecting issuers or guarantors, such as a credit rating downgrade, or due to general market conditions or a lack of willing buyers. An inability to sell one or more portfolio positions, or selling such positions at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, can adversely affect a Fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, declining prices of the securities sold, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. 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 money market and other fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Funds 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, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments. Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which a Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Municipal Securities Risk — Municipal securities are subject to credit/default risk, interest rate risk and certain additional risks. The Fund may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in the debt securities of similar projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities), industrial Development bonds, or in particular types of municipal securities (such as general obligation bonds, private activity bonds and moral obligation bonds). While interest earned on municipal securities is generally not subject to federal tax, any interest earned on taxable municipal securities is fully taxable at the federal level and may be subject to tax at the state level.
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.
Exemptive Orders — Pursuant to SEC exemptive orders, the Funds may enter into certain principal transactions, including repurchase agreements, with Goldman Sachs.
Pursuant to an effort to consolidate the membership of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) with the Board of Trustees of each of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, Goldman Sachs ETF Trust II, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Trust II and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, in July 2023, the Board voted to nominate Cheryl K. Beebe, John G. Chou, Eileen H. Dowling, Lawrence Hughes, John F. Killian, Steven D. Krichmar, Michael Latham, Lawrence W. Stranghoener and Paul C. Wirth (the “Nominees”) for election as Trustees of the Trust. Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling currently serve as Trustees of the Trust. At a virtual special joint meeting of shareholders held on November 16, 2023, each of the

8. OTHER MATTERS (continued) |
Nominees (except Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling) was elected to serve as Trustees alongside the current Trustees of the Trust, effective January 1, 2024. Each of Messrs. Chou and Wirth and Ms. Dowling was also elected at the meeting and continue to serve as Trustees of the Trust.
After the end of the Reporting Period, at a meeting of the Board held on December 12-13, 2023, upon the recommendation of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, the Board of Trustees of the Goldman Sachs Trust approved, on behalf of the Goldman Sachs Tax-Exempt Investor Money Market Fund, the termination of each of the Capital, Premier, Select and Cash Management Shares of the Fund. The termination occurred on January 12, 2024.
Effective December 15, 2023, Capital, Premier, Select, and Cash Management Shares of the Fund were no longer sold to new investors or existing shareholders (except through reinvested dividends) or were no longer eligible for exchanges from other Goldman Sachs Funds. In addition, Capital, Premier, Select and Cash Management Shares of the Fund were closed to all new accounts.
All other subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of Goldman Sachs Investor Money Market Fund and Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs Investor Money Market Fund and Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (two of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of November 30, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year ended November 30, 2023, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of November 30, 2023, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2023 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS
Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended November 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Class D, Class I, Capital, Service, Preferred, Select, Administration, Cash Management, Premier, 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 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, Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Cash Management 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 June 1, 2023 through November 30, 2023, which represents a period of 183 days in a 365-day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Investor Money Market Fund and Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2024 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on June 13-14, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held two meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services, and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance, and central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training); |
| (iii) | trends in employee headcount; |
| (iv) | the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and |
| (v) | the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its mutual fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management; |
| (b) | information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparisons to the performance of similar mutual funds, as provided by a third-party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and information on general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests; |
| (c) | the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (d) | fee and expense information for the Fund, including: |
| (i) | the relative management fee and expense levels of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider; |
| (ii) | the Fund’s expense trends over time; and |
| (iii) | to the extent the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts (such as bank collective trusts, private wealth management accounts, institutional separate accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, and non-U.S. funds) having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser; |
| (e) | with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund; |
| (f) | the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations; |
| (g) | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (h) | whether the Fund’s existing management fee adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
| (i) | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, distribution and other services; |
| (j) | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (k) | information regarding portfolio trading and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution; |
| (l) | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and |
| (m) | the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
The Trustees also received an overview of the Funds’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Funds’ assets, share purchase and redemption activity, and payment of distribution, service, and shareholder administration fees, as applicable. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Fund shares. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical events, and economic sanctions, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees also considered information regarding the Investment Adviser’s business continuity planning and remote operations capabilities. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2022. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
The Trustees considered the performance of the Funds in light of their respective investment policies and strategies. They considered that, since March 2022, the Federal Reserve has implemented a series of interest rate increases in response to inflationary pressures impacting the broader economy, and the Funds’ yields had improved compared to other recent periods as a result. They noted that the Investment Adviser has subsequently been able to reduce the amount of fees waived and/or reimbursed relative to such amounts waived and/or reimbursed during recent challenging yield environments, including the near-zero interest rate environment following the market disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and related actions by the Federal Reserve. The Trustees acknowledged, however, that the interest rate environment remains uncertain in light of broader economic conditions. They considered that, during the relevant period, the Investment Adviser had voluntarily waived fees and reimbursed expenses for the Funds, in order to maintain competitive yields. The Trustees also considered that the Funds had maintained a stable net asset value per share. In addition, the Trustees observed that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) is likely to adopt certain reforms to the regulatory framework governing money market funds and that compliance with those reforms could require a significant investment of resources by the Investment Adviser. In light of these considerations, the Trustees believed that the Funds were providing investment performance within a competitive range for investors.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates payable by each Fund thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as registered mutual funds.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Fund’s other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.
In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. They noted that the Investment Adviser and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) had reimbursed expenses for the Funds in order to maintain competitive yields. They also acknowledged the growth of the Funds in recent periods. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Profitability
The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization periodically audits the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. Profitability data for each Fund was provided for 2022 and 2021, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds.
The Trustees noted that the Funds do not have management fee breakpoints. They considered the asset levels in the Funds; the Funds’ recent purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing the contractual fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other money market funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels. They considered a report prepared by the Outside Data Provider, which surveyed money market funds’ management fee arrangements and use of breakpoints. The Trustees also considered the competitive nature of the money market fund business and the competitiveness of the fees charged to the Funds by the Investment Adviser.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs; (b) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (e) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (f) Goldman Sachs’ ability to engage in principal transactions with the Funds under exemptive orders from the SEC permitting such trades; (g) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; (h) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Funds’ third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs; and (i) reputational benefits associated with the distribution of certain Fund share classes designed to help further diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain other potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) enhanced servicing from broker-dealers due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (f) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (j) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until June 30, 2024.

Item 4(e)(1) — Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”) adopted by the Audit Committee of Goldman Sachs Trust (“GST”) sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services performed by an independent auditor for GST may be pre-approved. Services may be pre-approved specifically by the Audit Committee as a whole or, in certain circumstances, by the Audit Committee Chairman or the person designated as the Audit Committee Financial Expert. In addition, subject to specified cost limitations, certain services may be pre-approved under the provisions of the Policy. The Policy provides that the Audit Committee will consider whether the services provided by an independent auditor are consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules on auditor independence. The Policy provides for periodic review and pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the services that may be provided by the independent auditor.
De Minimis Waiver. The pre-approval requirements of the Policy may be waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services that are permissible for an independent auditor to perform, provided (1) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues subject to pre-approval that was paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by GST at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee, pursuant to the pre-approval provisions of the Policy.
Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to GST’s Investment Advisers. The Policy provides that, in addition to requiring pre-approval of audit and non-audit services provided to GST, the Audit Committee will pre-approve those non-audit services provided to GST’s investment advisers (and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment advisers that provide ongoing services to GST) where the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of GST.
Item 4(e)(2) – 0% of the audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees listed in Table 1 were approved by GST’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X. In addition, 0% of the non-audit services to the GST’s service affiliates listed in Table 2 were approved by GST’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
Item 4(f) – Not applicable.
Item 4(g) Aggregate Non-Audit Fees Disclosure
The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST by PwC for the twelve months ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022 were $516,600 and $438,000, respectively. The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST’s adviser and service affiliates by PwC for non-audit services for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were approximately $17.1 million and $14.4 million, respectively. The figures for these entities are not yet available for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. With regard to the aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST’s adviser and service affiliates, the 2022 and 2021 amounts include fees for non-audit services required to be pre-approved [see Table 2] and fees for non-audit services that did not require pre-approval since they did not directly relate to GST’s operations or financial reporting.
Item 4(h) — GST’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to GST’s investment adviser and service affiliates that did not require pre-approval pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.
