NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

 

 

Investment Valuation — The Funds’ and Portfolio’s valuation policy (except VIT Money Market Fund) is to value investments at fair 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 tolerance established by the Trustees, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) evaluated the difference between the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) based upon the amortized cost of the Fund’s securities and the NAV based upon available market quotations (or permitted substitutes).

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

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

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

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s or Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”) assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds and the Portfolio, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM or GSAMI day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ and the Portfolio’s portfolio investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM or GSAMI 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 and investment companies 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 it is believed by GSAM or GSAMI to not represent fair value, equity securities and exchange traded investment companies are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the NAV on the valuation date. 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.

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. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Fund”) are valued at the NAV of the FST Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Underlying Fund may invest in debt securities which are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers, if market quotations are readily available, or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value.

Debt Securities — Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. 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 fair value. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries (not held in money market funds), which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Underlying Funds (Including Money Market Funds) — Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional Share class (the FST Share class for Money Market Funds) of each Underlying Fund on the day of valuation. Because each Portfolio invests primarily in other mutual funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Underlying Funds may invest in debt securities which, if market quotations are readily available, are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. 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 fair value. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries (not held in money market funds), which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Underlying Funds may invest in equity securities and investment companies. Investments in equity securities and investment companies 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 it is believed by the investment adviser to not represent fair value, equity securities and exchange traded investment companies are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the NAV on the valuation date. 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.

The Underlying Funds may invest in 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. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

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

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

ii. Mortgage Dollar Rolls — Mortgage dollar rolls are transactions whereby a Fund sells mortgage-backed-securities and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar securities on a specified future date. During the settlement period, a Fund will not be entitled to accrue interest and receive principal payments on the securities sold.

iii. Structured Notes — The values of structured notes are based on the price movements of a reference security or index. Upon termination, a Fund will receive a payment from the issuer based on the value of the referenced instrument (notional amount multiplied by price of the referenced instrument) and record a realized gain or loss.

iv. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities — TIPS are treasury securities 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 repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

v. When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments — When-issued securities, including TBA (“To Be Announced”) securities, are securities that are authorized but not yet issued in the market and purchased in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price or yield to a Fund. 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 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 a Fund will generally purchase securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities for its portfolio, the Fund may dispose of when-issued securities or forward commitments prior to settlement which may result in a realized gain or loss.

Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. The Funds enter into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers.

Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are valued at the last sale or settlement price and typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value OTC and centrally cleared derivatives depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.

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

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

ii. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security and are valued based on exchanged settlement prices or independent market quotes. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations or net amounts received from a settlement of a credit default swap for the same reference security or obligation where a Fund bought credit protection.

Short Term Investments — Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost which approximates fair market value. These investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

i. 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 underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Fund’s 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, 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 Fund, 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.

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 Funds’ and the Portfolio’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s and the Portfolio’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies. 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. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs (examples include but are not limited to single source broker quotations, third party pricing, etc.) for the valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

C. Fair Value Hierarchy The following is a summary of the Funds’ and Portfolio’s investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2015. For the Money Market Fund, all investments are classified as Level 2.

NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (continued)

 

 

For further information regarding security characteristics, see the Schedules of Investments.

Securities Lending — Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund (“Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Trust. The 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 an investment advisory fee of up to 0.205% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Fund.

Both the Funds and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities.

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

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

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.

When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Fund will generally decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments.

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

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

NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (continued)

 

 

Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund, Portfolio and Underlying Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, participating insurance companies, 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, Portfolio and Underlying Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund, Portfolio and Underlying Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Fund, Portfolio and Underlying Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact a Fund’s, Portfolio’s and Underlying Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s, the Portfolio’s or an Underlying Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in a Fund’s, Portfolio’s and Underlying Fund’s expense ratios. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that a Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Liquidity Risk — The Funds and Underlying Funds may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund and Portfolio will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund and Portfolio may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Funds, Portfolio and Underlying 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, Portfolio and Underlying Funds 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 Funds, Portfolio, and Underlying Funds have unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Funds, Portfolio and Underlying Funds invest. Loss may also result from the imposition of exchange controls, confiscations and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Funds, Portfolio and Underlying Funds have exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Funds, Portfolio and Underlying Funds also invest in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

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