What were the Fund costs for the Period?

Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment.

Class	Costs of a $10,000 investment	Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment
Institutional	$73	0.68%

How did the Fund perform and what affected its performance?

The broad U.S. equity market was volatile but strong amid tariff uncertainty, mixed economic data, elevated valuations and a government shutdown. The market advance was supported by easing trade tensions, corporate earnings results, better inflation data, resilient consumer spending, AI growth optimism and the Fed’s monetary easing.

Top Contributors to Performance:

The Fund’s absolute returns benefitted from the U.S. equity market’s rally during the Period but in a capped upside participation form.

Top Detractors from Performance:

The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index during the Period, primarily driven by the limited upside participation in the U.S. equity market rally due to the Fund’s targeted outcome strategy.
The Fund seeks to provide equity exposure up to a Cap with a Buffer from downside risk. The Cap represents the maximum percentage return a Fund can achieve for the duration of an Outcome Period. The Buffer provides downside protection against approximately the first 5% of losses of the S&P 500 Price Return Index over each Outcome Period, before the deduction of Fund fees and expenses. If the value of the S&P 500 Price Return Index increases over an Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide investment returns that track the performance of the S&P 500 Price Return Index up to the Cap for the Outcome Period. If the value of the S&P 500 Price Return Index increases in excess of the Cap during an Outcome Period, the Fund, and therefore its investors, will not fully participate in those excess gains.
During the Period, the S&P 500 Price Return Index delivered strong performance that exceeded the Cap, leading to reduced upside participation of the Fund.
The Cap for the Outcome Period that commenced on January 2, 2025 and ended on June 30, 2025 was 8.02% for both Institutional Shares and Service Shares (before Fund fees and expenses) and was 7.67% for Institutional Shares and 7.54% for Service Shares (after Fund fees and expenses).* The Buffer for the same Outcome Period was 5.00% for both Institutional Shares and Service Shares (before Fund fees and expenses) and was 4.65% for Institutional Shares and 4.52% for Services Shares (after Fund fees and expenses).*
The Cap for the Outcome Period that commenced on July 1, 2025 and ended on December 31, 2025 was 8.99% for both Institutional Shares and Service Shares (before Fund fees and expenses) and was 8.64% for Institutional Shares and 8.51% for Service Shares (after Fund fees and expenses).* The Buffer for the same Outcome Period was 5.00% for both Institutional Shares and Service Shares (before Fund fees and expenses) and was 4.65% for Institutional Shares and 4.52% for Services Shares (after Fund fees and expenses).*

*Fund Fees and Expenses are derived from the “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” tables included in the Fund’s Prospectus dated April 30, 2025. Actual Fund Fees and Expenses may differ over the next Outcome Period.

Effective July 1, 2026, following the conclusion of the Fund’s final sixth-month Outcome Period on June 30, 2026, the Fund will be liquidated pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation approved by the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust.

How did the Fund perform and what affected its performance?

Top Contributors to Performance:

The Fund’s absolute returns benefitted from the U.S. equity market’s rally during the Period but in a capped upside participation form.

Top Detractors from Performance:

The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index during the Period, primarily driven by the limited upside participation in the U.S. equity market rally due to the Fund’s targeted outcome strategy.
The Fund seeks to provide equity exposure up to a Cap with a Buffer from downside risk. The Cap represents the maximum percentage return a Fund can achieve for the duration of an Outcome Period. The Buffer provides downside protection against approximately the first 5% of losses of the S&P 500 Price Return Index over each Outcome Period, before the deduction of Fund fees and expenses. If the value of the S&P 500 Price Return Index increases over an Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide investment returns that track the performance of the S&P 500 Price Return Index up to the Cap for the Outcome Period. If the value of the S&P 500 Price Return Index increases in excess of the Cap during an Outcome Period, the Fund, and therefore its investors, will not fully participate in those excess gains.
During the Period, the S&P 500 Price Return Index delivered strong performance that exceeded the Cap, leading to reduced upside participation of the Fund.
The Cap for the Outcome Period that commenced on November 1, 2024 and ended on April 30, 2025 was 9.01% for Institutional and Service Shares (before Fund fees and expenses) (“before”) and was 8.66% for Institutional Shares and 8.53% for Service Shares (after Fund fees and expenses) (“after”).* The Buffer for the Outcome Period was 5.00% for Institutional and Service Shares (before) and was 4.65% for Institutional Shares and 4.52% for Services Shares (after).*
The Cap for the Outcome Period that commenced on May 1, 2025 and ended on November 30, 2025 was 11.37% for Institutional and Service Shares (before) and was 11.01% for Institutional Shares and 10.89% for Service Shares (after).* The Buffer for the Outcome Period was 5.00% for Institutional and Service Shares (before) and was 4.64% for Institutional Shares and 4.52% for Services Shares (after).* The Cap for the Outcome Period that commenced on November 3, 2025 and will end on April 30, 2026 is 9.56% for Institutional and Service Shares (before) and is 9.21% for Institutional Shares and 9.08% for Service Shares (after).* The Buffer for the Outcome Period is 5.00% for Institutional and Service Shares (before) and is 4.65% for Institutional Shares and 4.52% for Services Shares (after).*

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 Variable Insurance Trust. The Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”) adopted by the Audit Committee of GSVIT sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services performed by an independent auditor for GSVIT 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 GSVIT 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 GSVIT’s Investment Advisers. The Policy provides that, in addition to requiring pre-approval of audit and non-audit services provided to GSVIT, the Audit Committee will pre-approve those non-audit services provided to GSVIT’s investment advisers (and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment advisers that provide ongoing services to GSVIT) where the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of GSVIT.

Item 4(e)(2) – 0% of the audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees listed in Table 1 were approved by GSVIT’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 GSVIT’s service affiliates listed in Table 2 were approved by GSVIT’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 GSVIT by PwC for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were approximately $79,200 and $97,887, respectively. The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GSVIT’s adviser and service affiliates by PwC for non-audit services for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were approximately $20.7 million and $18.0 million, respectively. The figures for these entities are not yet available for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. With regard to the aggregate non-audit fees billed to GSVIT’s adviser and service affiliates, the 2024 and 2023 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 GSVIT’s operations or financial reporting.

Item 4(h) — GSVIT’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to GSVIT’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.

GOLDMAN SACHS VIT BUFFERED S&P 500 FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2025

1. ORGANIZATION

Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust” or “VIT”) 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

Buffered S&P 500 Fund — Jan/Jul	Institutional and Service	Non-diversified

Buffered S&P 500 Fund — Mar/Sep	Institutional and Service	Non-diversified

Buffered S&P 500 Fund — May/Nov	Institutional and Service	Non-diversified

Shares of the Trust are offered to a separate account of participating life insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.

The Funds seek to achieve a total return for a specified Outcome Period that tracks the S&P 500 Price Return Index (the “Underlying Index”) up to a “cap” while providing a downside “buffer” against losses over a six-month Outcome Period. After the conclusion of an Outcome Period, another six-month Outcome Period will begin. In order to implement the buffer and cap, the Fund will primarily invest in FLexible EXchange^® Options (“FLEX Options”) and over-the counter (“OTC”) and listed options that reference the Underlying Index (together with FLEX Options, “S&P 500 Options”). FLEX Options are customized exchange traded option contracts available through the Chicago Board Option Exchange. Through FLEX Options, the Fund could customize key contract terms such as exercise prices and expiration dates.

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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

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

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

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

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


		17

GOLDMAN SACHS VIT BUFFERED S&P 500 FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2025

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:


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

Buffered S&P 500 Fund — Jan/Jul	Annually	Annually

Buffered S&P 500 Fund — Mar/Sep	Annually	Annually

Buffered S&P 500 Fund — May/Nov	Annually	Annually

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

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

E. Segment Reporting — The Funds follow Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Each Fund operates in one segment. The segment derives its revenues from Fund investments made in accordance with the defined investment strategy of the Fund, as prescribed in the Funds’ prospectus. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the portfolio management team within the Funds’ Investment Adviser. The CODM monitors and actively manages the operating results of each Fund. The financial information the CODM leverages to assess the segment’s performance and to make decisions for the Funds’ single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Funds’ financial statements.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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).


18

GOLDMAN SACHS VIT BUFFERED S&P 500 FUNDS

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved valuation procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds (“Valuation Procedures”), 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 Act (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.

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 financial statements at SEC.gov.

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

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


		19

GOLDMAN SACHS VIT BUFFERED S&P 500 FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2025

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

correlations of such inputs. For OTC and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.

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

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

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

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.

C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2025:

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

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

As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the 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.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:


	Contractual Management Rate

Fund	First $1 billion	Next $1 billion	Next $3 billion	Next $3 billion	Over $8 billion	Effective Rate	Effective Net Management Rate^



Buffered S&P 500 Fund — Jan/Jul	0.50%	0.45%	0.43%	0.42%	0.41%	0.50%	0.48%



Buffered S&P 500 Fund — Mar/Sep	0.50	0.45	0.43	0.42	0.41	0.50	0.47



Buffered S&P 500 Fund — May/Nov	0.50	0.45	0.43	0.42	0.41	0.50	0.48

The Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any. The Effective Net Management Rate may not correlate to the Contractual Management Rate as a result of management fee waivers that may be in effect from time to time.

The Funds invest in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund and Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Obligations Fund, which are affiliated Underlying Funds. 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 the Funds invest.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, management fee waived by GSAM for each Fund was as follows:


Fund	Management Fee Waived



Buffered S&P 500 Fund — Jan/Jul		$1,709



Buffered S&P 500 Fund — Mar/Sep		2,245

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

B. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Service 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, equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Service Shares. Prior to January 1, 2025, Goldman Sachs waived the distribution and/or service fees equal to 0.25% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Service Shares of the Funds.

C. 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 an annual rate of 0.02% of the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares.

D. 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, 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 limitation as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Buffered S&P 500 Fund — Jan/Jul, Buffered S&P 500 Fund — Mar/Sep and Buffered S&P 500 Fund — May/Nov is 0.184% for each Fund, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least April 30, 2026, 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 December 31, 2025, 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



Buffered S&P 500 Fund — Jan/Jul		$	1,709		$	48		$	314,066		$	315,823

Buffered S&P 500 Fund — May/Nov			1,734			41			299,277			301,052

E. Line of Credit Facility — As of December 31, 2025, the Funds participated in a $1,300,000,000 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 December 31, 2025, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 14, 2025, the facility was $1,150,000,000.

F. Other Transactions with Affiliates — As of December 31, 2025, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of 5% or more of total outstanding shares:

As of December 31, 2025, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:


	Buffered S&P 500 Fund — Jan/Jul				Buffered S&P 500 Fund — Mar/Sep				Buffered S&P 500 Fund — May/Nov

Net unrealized gain		$	422,804			$	423,054			$	412,657

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

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

8. OTHER RISKS

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

Buffered Loss Risk — There can be no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its strategy to provide buffered protection against losses if the value of the Underlying Index decreases over an Outcome Period. In the event an investor purchases shares after the commencement of the Outcome Period or redeems shares prior to the end of the Outcome Period, the investor may not experience the full effect of the Buffer that the Fund seeks to provide. The Fund does not provide principal protection and an investor may experience significant losses on their investment, including the loss of their entire investment.

Capped Upside Return Risk — The Fund’s strategy seeks to provide returns only up to the Cap over an Outcome Period before Fund fees and expenses. In the event that the value of the Underlying Index increases in excess of the Cap during an Outcome Period, the Fund will not participate in those gains beyond the Cap for that Outcome Period. In the event an investor purchases shares after the commencement of an Outcome Period and the Fund has risen in value to a level near the Cap, there will likely be little or no ability for that investor to experience investment gains for the remainder of that Outcome Period. A new Cap is established on or before the first day of each Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions. Accordingly, the Cap may increase or decrease from one Outcome Period to the next. The Cap is based on the market costs associated with a series of S&P Options (or other derivatives) that are purchased and sold in order to seek to obtain the relevant market exposure and the Buffer. The market conditions and other factors that influence the Cap can include, but are not limited to, interest rate levels, the volatility of the Underlying Index, and relationship of put and calls on the underlying S&P 500 Options. Depending on those factors, it is possible that the Cap will limit the Fund’s return during an Outcome Period to a level substantially less than an investor might expect from another comparable equity product that does not employ a Cap and Buffer. The Cap may decrease from one Outcome Period to the next.

Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ 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 Funds. Certain derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not, or lacks the capacity or authority to, fulfill its contractual obligations, liquidity risk, which includes the risk that the Funds 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 Funds will be required to pay additional margin

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

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.

FLEX Options Risk — The Fund utilizes FLEX Options guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (the “OCC”), and bears the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts, which is a form of counterparty risk. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In a less liquid market, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices (and may have to pay a premium or accept a discounted price). The Fund may experience substantial downside from certain FLEX Option positions, and FLEX Option positions may expire worthless. The value of the FLEX Options will be affected by, among other things, changes in the value of the Underlying Index, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual and implied volatility of the Underlying Index and the remaining time until the FLEX Options expire. The value of FLEX Options does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the level of the Underlying Index (although they generally move in the same direction).

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an ETF, a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. In addition, the Fund will be affected by the investment policies, practices and performance of such investment companies in direct proportion to the amount of assets the Fund invests therein. 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.

Investment Objective and Outcomes Risk — There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to achieve its investment objective and/or its strategy to provide buffered protection against losses. An investor could lose some or all of their investment in the Fund. Certain circumstances under which the Fund might not achieve its objective and/or its strategy to provide buffered protection against losses include, but are not limited to: (i) if the Fund disposes of FLEX Options; (ii) if the Fund is unable to maintain the proportional relationship based on the number of FLEX Options in the Fund’s portfolio; (iii) significant accrual of Fund expenses in connection with effecting the Fund’s investment strategy; (iv) losses resulting from the investment strategy; or (v) adverse tax law changes affecting the treatment of FLEX Options.

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 the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests.

GOLDMAN SACHS VIT BUFFERED S&P 500 FUNDS

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

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, governments or countries and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, military conflict, geopolitical disputes, acts of terrorism, social or political unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, tariffs and other restrictions on trade, sanctions or the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats, or the threat or potential of one or more such events and developments, could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments.

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 in fewer issuers than diversified 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.

Option Writing Risk — Writing (selling) options may limit the opportunity to profit from an increase or decrease in the market value of a reference security in exchange for up-front cash (the premium) at the time of selling the option. In a sharp rising or falling market, the Fund could significantly underperform the market or other portfolios without an option writing strategy. The Fund could also experience a sudden, significant permanent loss due to dramatic movements in the market value of reference security, which may far exceed the premiums received for writing the option. Such significant losses could cause significant deteriorations in the Fund’s NAV. Furthermore, the premium received from the Fund’s option writing strategies may not fully protect it against market movements because the Fund will continue to bear the risk of movements in the value of its portfolio investments.

Outcome Period Risk — The Fund’s investment strategy is designed to deliver returns that match the Underlying Index, subject to the Buffer and Cap, only if shares are bought by the first day of the Outcome Period and held until the end of the Outcome Period. If an investor purchases or sells shares during the Outcome Period, the returns realized by the investor will not match those that the Fund seeks to achieve. In addition, the Cap may change from one Outcome Period to the next and is unlikely to remain the same for consecutive Outcome Periods. Moreover, the Fund’s returns will be reduced by Fund fees and expenses as well as any brokerage commissions, trading fees, taxes and non-routine or extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund throughout an Outcome Period. Accordingly, the maximum performance of the Fund over an Outcome Period is expected to be lower than the Cap by these fees and expenses and the performance of the Fund over an Outcome period will be reduced by these fees and expenses in addition to losses beyond the Buffer. When an investor purchases shares of the Fund after the commencement of an Outcome Period, the Fund will enter into additional S&P 500 Options positions in order to maintain the targeted outcomes for the Fund established at the commencement of the Outcome Period. The Fund will incur additional expenses when entering into these new positions, which will further reduce the Fund’s returns.

9. INDEMNIFICATIONS

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

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust and Shareholders of Goldman Sachs Buffered S&P 500 Fund – Jan/Jul, Goldman Sachs Buffered S&P 500 Fund – Mar/Sep and Goldman Sachs Buffered S&P 500 Fund – May/Nov

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs Buffered S&P 500 Fund – Jan/Jul, Goldman Sachs Buffered S&P 500 Fund – Mar/Sep and Goldman Sachs Buffered S&P 500 Fund – May/Nov (three of the funds constituting the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, 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 December 31, 2025, 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 December 31, 2025 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 December 31, 2025 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent 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.
