NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
Investment Valuation — The investment valuation policy of the Funds (except VIT Money Market Fund) is to value investments at market value. Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a foreign securities exchange are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under valuation procedures approved by the trustees consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the United States (“U.S.”) securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchanges. While the independent fair value service may not take into account market or security specific information, under the valuation procedures, these securities might also be fair valued by Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”) by taking into consideration market or security specific information as discussed below.
     Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service cannot provide a quote are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities and investment companies are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued on the basis of quotations furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the trustees or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from bond dealers to determine current value. If accurate quotations are not readily available, or if Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) or GSAMI believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may be determined based on yield equivalents, a pricing matrix or other sources, under valuation procedures established by the trustees. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. In the absence of market quotations, broker quotes will be utilized or the security will be fair valued. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share (“NAV”) on the valuation date. Short-term debt obligations that mature in sixty days or less and that do not exhibit signs of credit deterioration are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
     It is the Money Market Fund’s policy to use the amortized-cost method permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), which approximates market value, for valuing portfolio securities. Under this method, all investments purchased at a discount or premium are valued by accreting or amortizing the difference between the original purchase price and maturity value of the issue, as an adjustment to interest income . Under procedures and tolerances established by the trustees, GSAM evaluates the difference between the Fund’s NAV based upon the amortized cost of the Fund’s securities and the NAV based upon available market quotations (or permitted substitutes) at least once a week.

     GSAM or GSAMI, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the previous closing 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 Funds’ NAV. Significant events that could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: situations relating to one or more single issuers in a market sector; significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions or market closings; equipment failures; natural or man-made disasters or acts of God; armed conflicts; government actions or other developments; as well as the same or similar events which may affect specific issuers or the securities markets even though not tied directly to the securities markets. Other significant events that could relate to a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; corporate announcements, including those relating to earnings, products and regulatory news; significant litigation; low trading volume; and trading limits or suspensions.
Fair Value of Investments — The fair value of a financial instrument is 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). Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 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 securities, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, 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 following is a summary of the Funds’ investments categorized in the fair value hierarchy, as of September 30, 2010. While assets for the VIT Money Market Fund are reported at amortized cost, the Levels below are based on valuation characteristics of the investments’ market value.

NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (continued)
Foreign Currency Translations — The books and records of the Funds are accounted for in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) investment valuations, foreign currency and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars based upon 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time exchange rates; and (ii) purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
     Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represents: (i) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (ii) currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment security transactions and forward foreign currency exchange contracts; and (iii) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the amounts actually received. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on equity securities and derivative instruments is included with the net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments on the Statements of Operations. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on fixed income securities sold during the period is included with the net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency related transactions, while the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on fixed income securities held at period end is included with the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are included as increases and decreases in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency related transactions.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date as a hedge or cross-hedge against either specific transactions, portfolio positions or to seek to increase total return. All contracts are marked to market daily at the applicable forward rate. Unrealized gains or losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts are recorded by the Fund on a daily basis and realized gains or losses are recorded on the settlement date of a contract.
      Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
      The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. The Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures to cover its obligations under these contracts.
Futures Contracts — The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates, or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds deposit cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when a contract is closed or expires.
     The use of futures contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts may be illiquid, and exchanges may limit fluctuations in futures contract prices during a single day. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. These risks may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss. The Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures, to cover their obligations under these contracts.
Investments in Derivatives — The Funds may make investments in derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, options, futures, swaps and other derivatives relating to foreign currency transactions. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying

assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as over the counter (“OTC”) derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments or commodities at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. The use of derivatives also involves the risk of loss if the investment adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency prices. Investments in derivative instruments also include the risk of default by the counterparty, the risk that the investment may not be liquid and the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument.
     The following table sets forth, by certain risk types, the gross value of the Funds’ derivative contracts for trading activities as of September 30, 2010. The values in the table below exclude the effects of cash collateral received or posted pursuant to these derivative contracts, and therefore are not representative of the Funds’ net exposure.

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities — The Core Fixed Income, Government Income and Growth Opportunities Funds may invest in mortgage-backed and/or asset-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by residential and/or commercial real property. These securities may include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, real estate mortgage investment conduit pass-through or participation certificates and stripped mortgage-backed securities. Asset-backed securities include securities whose principal and interest payments are collateralized by pools of assets such as auto loans, credit card receivables, leases, installment contracts and personal property. Asset-backed securities also include home equity line of credit loans and other second-lien mortgages.
     The value of certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities (including adjustable rate mortgage loans) may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. The value of these securities may also fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Early repayment of principal on mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities may expose a Fund to the risk of earning a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. Asset-backed securities may present credit risks that are not presented by mortgage-backed securities because they generally do not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral that is comparable to mortgage assets. Some asset-backed securities may only have a subordinated claim on collateral. In addition, while mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers, if any, will meet their obligations.

NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (continued)
     Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two different classes: one that receives substantially all of the interest payments (the interest-only, or “IO” and/or the high coupon rate with relatively low principal amount, or “IOette”), and the other that receives substantially all of the principal payments (the principal-only, or “PO”) from a pool of mortgage loans. Little to no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO; as a result, adjustments are made to the cost of the security on a daily basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income. Payments received for PO’s are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities and excess amounts are recorded gains.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls — The Core Fixed Income and Government Income Funds may enter into mortgage dollar rolls (“dollar rolls”) in which the Funds sell securities in the current month for delivery and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date. The Funds treat dollar rolls as two separate transactions: one involving the purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale.
     During the settlement period between sale and repurchase, the Funds will not be entitled to accrue interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by the Funds may decline below the repurchase price of those securities. In the event the buyer of the securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Funds’ use of proceeds from the transaction may be restricted pending a determination by, or with respect to, the other counterparty.
Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements which involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Funds, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Funds seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. Under these agreements, the Money Market Fund is permitted to deliver or re-pledge these securities.
     Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds, together with other 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST FUNDS
Schedule of Investments (continued)
September 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (continued)
Securities Lending — Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience a delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan.
     The Structured Small Cap Equity and Structured U.S. Equity Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust II (“Enhanced Portfolio II”), a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio II, deemed an affiliate of the Trust, is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio II. The Enhanced Portfolio II invests primarily in short-term investments, but is not a “money market fund” subject to the requirements of Rule 2a-7 of the Act. The Funds’ investment of cash collateral in the Enhanced Portfolio is subject to a net asset value that may fall or rise due to market and credit conditions.
     Both the Funds and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities.
Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities — The Funds may invest in treasury inflation-protected securities (“TIPS”), including structured bonds in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Pricing Index for Urban Consumers. The adjustments to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to interest income with a corresponding adjustment to cost. Such adjustments may have a significant impact on the Funds’ distributions and may result in a return of capital to shareholders. The repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments — The Funds may purchase when-issued securities, including TBA (“To Be Announced”) securities and enter into contracts to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond the customary settlement period. When-issued securities are securities that have been authorized, but not yet issued in the market. A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond the customary settlement period. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or 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 the Funds will generally purchase securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities for their portfolios, the Funds may dispose of when-issued securities or forward commitments prior to settlement if GSAM deems it appropriate. When purchasing a security on a when-issued basis or entering into a forward commitment, the Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures to cover their obligations under these contracts. The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate these contracts after they have been entered into and may sell these securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (continued)
Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund that invests in foreign securities may hold such securities and foreign currency with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories (each a “Foreign Custodian”) appointed by the Fund’s custodian. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are often undeveloped and may be less regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries. In some countries, foreign custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight or independent evaluation of their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters into bankruptcy.
Funds’ Shareholder Concentration Risk — Certain participating insurance companies, accounts, or Goldman Sachs affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Funds’ shares. Redemptions by these participating insurance companies, accounts, or Goldman Sachs affiliates in the Funds may impact the Funds’ liquidity and NAV. These redemptions may also force the Funds to sell securities, which may increase the Funds’ brokerage costs.
Interest Rate Risk — In a declining interest rate environment, low yields on the Money Market Fund’s holdings may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s ability to provide a positive yield to its shareholders. As a result, GSAM and/or Goldman Sachs may voluntarily agree to waive certain fees (such as distribution and service, transfer agency and management fees) which can fluctuate daily.
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). Additionally, the Funds may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transaction defaults.
     Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, be subject to government ownership controls, have delayed settlements and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the U.S.
