Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
 
This is not a complete list of risks that may affect the Funds. For additional information concerning the risks applicable to the Funds, please see the Funds’ Prospectus.
 
The Goldman Sachs Structured Emerging Markets Equity Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in emerging country issuers. The Fund’s investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. Emerging markets securities are volatile, less liquid and are subject to substantial currency fluctuations and sudden economic and political developments. The securities markets of emerging countries have less government regulation and are subject to less extensive accounting and financial reporting requirements than the markets of more developed countries. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its portfolio securities without a substantial drop in price, if at all.
 
The Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund invests primarily in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in companies that are organized outside the United States or whose securities are principally traded outside the United States. The Fund’s equity investments will be subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities, which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Foreign and emerging market securities may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its portfolio securities without a substantial drop in price, if at all.
 
The Goldman Sachs Structured International Small Cap Fund invests primarily in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in small cap non-U.S. issuers. The Fund’s investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. Stocks of small cap companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. Foreign and emerging market securities may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its portfolio securities without a substantial drop in price, if at all.

  Enhancements Made to Proprietary Quantitative Model
During the One-Year Period Ended October 31, 2010
 
We continuously look for ways to improve our investment process. Accordingly, we introduced a number of enhancements to our proprietary quantitative model during the one-year period ended October 31, 2010. We continued to refine our process to adjust for crowding,1 which has the potential to shorten the length of time that signals within our investment themes are effective. In addition, we expanded our model’s cross-company linkage signals to examine relationships between global companies that are economically related. Further, we implemented a new signal within our Momentum theme that seeks to exploit under-reaction to value-relevant news events. During the second calendar quarter of 2010, we improved the factor timing within our Momentum investment theme and continued to extend our risk model enhancements to smaller regions. We also continued to improve our model generation infrastructure, particularly for smaller regions and with regard to global transactions costs. During the third calendar quarter, we introduced a signal across all regions within our Profitability investment theme that seeks to gain exposure to companies that have an attractive product mix across regions and lines of business. In our Japanese equity model, we implemented a new signal within our Sentiment theme that extracts qualitative information about the prospects for Japanese companies from publications that provide comprehensive overviews of individual company performance. We believe these enhancements have predictive ability and will add value to our process over time.

MARKET REVIEW
 
 

Goldman Sachs Structured International
Equity Funds
 
 
Market Review
 
Overall, global stock markets generated healthy gains during the 12 months ended October 31, 2010 (the “Reporting Period”). The solid performance, however, masked significant volatility.
 
Through early May, investor sentiment was generally positive even as the economic and corporate backdrop remained mixed. The U.S. and Europe officially came out of recession toward the end of 2009, though economic data remained lackluster and corporate earnings reflected the benefits of cost cutting rather than significant increases in revenues. U.S. labor and housing data also continued to lack a definitive trend. Still, strength in consumer spending, high levels of corporate cash and reiteration of ongoing accommodative monetary policy bolstered investor sentiment and global equity returns. Commodities prices generally remained strong, supporting equity performance in many emerging market economies. A strong pick-up in Asian demand, particularly from China, further encouraged emerging market equities, although actual or looming interest rate increases tempered the equity markets in many high-growth emerging markets during the first quarter of 2010, as their central banks sought to prevent economic overheating and keep inflation in check.
 
Then, sovereign debt concerns flared as headlines about the crisis in Greece and other peripheral European nations dominated. Greece had been downgraded by several ratings agencies and Spain’s and Portugal’s outlooks were revised from stable to negative toward the end of 2009. However, the impact of such revisions was not felt in global equity markets for several months. As the sovereign debt crisis hit in earnest, international and emerging markets equities alike suffered a sharp drop in May. Investors also increasingly focused on the impact of a growing government appetite for regulation and mounting evidence that the global economic recovery might be losing steam.
 
Another factor impacting the global equity markets was the weight of fiscal austerity under which both Europe and Japan operated. Attempts to cut substantial budget deficits made many investors worried that such austerity packages would further hinder global economic growth, which was already showing signs of slowing. Suffering from proximity to peripheral Europe, Hungary and Poland were among the worst performing emerging market countries during the global equity downturn, while Hungary additionally complicated matters with a misleading statement on its own sovereign default risk.
 
Beijing’s attempts to curb speculation in China’s property markets and a downward revision of China’s leading economic indicators also dampened enthusiasm, particularly in the local Chinese market. Initial reaction to China’s long-awaited announcement that it would begin to let the renminbi appreciate against the U.S. dollar was positive, but excitement subsided as it became clear that Beijing would continue to tightly manage the process, mitigating any immediate impact. Fears that Chinese, and therefore global, demand might be slowing particularly hit commodity prices and their stocks worldwide, while high crude oil inventory levels following the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico further pressured energy stocks. Mining stocks were similarly weak on fears of slowing demand combined with uncertainty over tax legislation in Australia. Heavy declines in these sectors drove significant underperformance in both Russia and Brazil, despite robust economic growth in the latter.

MARKET REVIEW
 
 

 
When the International Monetary Fund, in concert with the European Central Bank and other central banks, announced plans for a liquidity facility that would allow what are known as the PIIGS nations (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain) to borrow at reasonable rates, international developed and emerging markets equities rebounded. Reports of bank stress tests also restored some level of confidence in Europe’s financial structure, helping global equity markets to roar back during the third calendar quarter and through October, fueled by corporate earnings growth that generally surprised to the upside. Record demand for steel; potential shortages in copper, whose prices hit a two-year high; gold at more than $1,300 an ounce; and a 12-year high in coffee prices propelled countries and stocks that benefit from soaring commodity prices. Emerging market equities surged especially strongly amidst reports of robust domestic demand and economic growth as well as of heightened merger and acquisition activity and strong currencies.
 
Currency movements were a major influence on equity market behavior through much of the Reporting Period. Early in the Reporting Period, sovereign debt concerns began to weigh on the euro, which lost approximately 20% versus the U.S. dollar from its late 2009 high to its May 2010 low. This significant weakness in the euro contributed to strong export and production data in countries such as Germany. The yen, which would spend most of the Reporting Period rising significantly, actually weakened during the first quarter, which prompted a rally in Japanese equities during those months. During the second quarter of 2010, Europe’s troubles further reverberated in worldwide equity markets via a significant depreciation in the euro versus the U.S. dollar and the yen. While the positive effect for Europe was evidenced in steadily rising German manufacturing surveys and export sectors, such as autos, it was a headwind for export-driven Japan and potentially for the U.S. economic recovery. For investors viewing global portfolios in U.S. dollars, it significantly reduced investment returns. Remember, as the value of the U.S. dollar increases relative to other currencies, the dollar value of foreign investments typically decreases and vice versa. In the last four months or so of the Reporting Period, continued lackluster economic data from the U.S. increased expectations of a second round of quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). Such expectations weighed on the U.S. dollar but encouraged U.S. equities. The euro gained 10% versus the U.S. dollar during the third quarter of 2010 and rose further in October, significantly enhancing returns of European stocks viewed in U.S. dollars. Meanwhile, the yen continued to make new 15-year highs against the U.S. dollar, finally prompting intervention from Japan’s central bank. Japanese stocks were heavily penalized for the yen’s strength through most of the annual period, as it was viewed as particularly negative for Japan’s many export-oriented companies.
 
International Equity
 
Against this backdrop, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe, Australasia, Far East (“EAFE”) Index (the “MSCI EAFE Index”) gained 8.36% during the Reporting Period. Sixteen of the 22 countries in the MSCI EAFE Index were up for the Reporting Period, with Singapore (+29.64) and Denmark (+26.22%) posting the largest gains. The United Kingdom (+12.51%) was the largest contributor on the basis of impact, which takes both weightings and total returns into account.

MARKET REVIEW
 
 

 
In terms of sectors, eight of the 10 sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index posted positive results during the Reporting Period, with the materials (+20.30%) and consumer discretionary (+17.42%) sectors gaining the most. The materials sector was the largest positive contributor on the basis of impact.
 
Emerging Markets Equity
 
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 23.56% during the Reporting Period. Nineteen of the 21 countries in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index were up for the period, with Colombia (+77.24%) and Chile (+61.44%), posting the largest gains. Brazil (+16.85%) was the largest contributor on the basis of impact, which takes both weightings and total returns into account.
 
All 10 sectors in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index were positive for the Reporting Period, with consumer discretionary (+46.24%) and consumer staples (+44.57%) gaining the most. The financials sector was the largest contributor on the basis of impact.
 
International Small Cap Equity
 
The MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index (net) gained 14.23% during the Reporting Period. Seventeen of the 22 countries in the Index were up, with Hong Kong (+37.81%) and Singapore (+35.85%) posting the greatest gains. The United Kingdom (+21.66%) was the largest contributor on the basis of impact, which takes both weightings and total returns into account.
 
All 10 sectors in the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index (net) posted positive results for the Reporting Period, with materials (+29.95%), telecommunication services (+25.78%) and industrials (+16.62%) increasing the most. The industrials sector was the largest positive contributor on the basis of impact.
 
Looking Ahead
 
In the coming months, we believe cheaper stocks should outpace more expensive ones. Stocks with good momentum are likely, in our opinion, to outperform those with poor momentum. We plan to focus on seeking profitable companies with positive fundamentals, sustainable earnings and a track record of using capital to enhance shareholder value. As such, we anticipate remaining fully invested, with long-term performance potentially the result of stock selection rather than sector or capitalization allocations.
 
We stand behind our investment philosophy that sound economic investment principles, coupled with a disciplined quantitative approach, can provide strong, uncorrelated returns over the long term. Our research agenda is robust, and we continue to enhance our existing models, add new proprietary forecasting signals, and improve our trading execution as we seek to provide the most value to our shareholders.

Structured Emerging Markets Equity Fund
 
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Structured Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010 (the “Reporting Period”).
 
How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?
 
A  During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 25.91%, 25.07% and 26.56%, respectively. These returns compare to the 23.56% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of dividend withholding taxes) (the “Index”), during the same period.
 
The Fund’s Class IR Shares were launched on August 31, 2010. During the period from inception on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class IR Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 17.08%. This compares to the 14.34% cumulative total return of the Index during the same time period.
 
What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?
 
A  We use two distinct strategies — a bottom-up stock selection strategy and a top-down country/currency selection strategy — to manage the Fund. These strategies are uncorrelated, that is, they tend to perform differently from each other over time, which enables us to greater diversify the portfolio.
 
Although our country/currency selection strategy detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, our stock selection strategy, which uses stock selection models based on five investment themes, contributed positively. We use these themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting those stocks chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of our model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of our theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term.
 
Which investment themes helped and which hurt within the Team’s stock selection strategy?
 
A  Our bottom-up stock selection strategy and four of its five investment themes contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period.
 
Profitability was the Fund’s best-performing theme during the Reporting Period. Our Profitability theme assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. Momentum, Sentiment and Quality also enhanced returns. Momentum predicts drift in stock prices caused by under-reaction to company-specific information, while Sentiment reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. Quality evaluates whether the company’s earnings are coming from more persistent, cash-based sources, as opposed to accruals.
 
Valuation was the only theme that detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Valuation attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value.
 
How did the Fund’s sector allocations affect relative results?
 
A  In constructing the portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector allocation and style. Changes in its sector weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative returns.
 
Which stock positions contributed the most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period?
 
A  We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we believe should outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. We also build positions based on our thematic views. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the benchmark.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
 
 

 
Our security selection in the materials, financials and consumer staples sectors added the most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. Specifically, the Fund benefited from its overweight to Centros Comerciales Sudamericanos, a South American retailer; LG Display, a South Korea-based manufacturer of LCD panels; and Turkiye Is Bankasi, a Turkish bank.
 
Which Fund positions detracted most from results during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Investments in the energy, health care and information technology sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. The Fund was hampered by its overweighted positions in South Korea-based electronics manufacturer Samsung Electronics; Chinese oil and natural gas producer PetroChina; and Taiwan-based maker of computers and computer components Asustek Computer.
 
What impact did the Team’s country/currency selection strategy have on the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Our country/currency strategy detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. An overweighted position in Taiwan, as well as underweighted positions in Indonesia and Thailand, dampened performance. Overweighted positions in South Korea, Turkey and Mexico contributed.
 
We made our picks using our proprietary models, which are based on five investment themes specific to the country/currency selection strategy — Valuation, Momentum, Risk Premium, Fund Flows and Macro. Valuation favors equity and currency markets that appear cheap relative to accounting measures of value and purchasing power. The Momentum factor favors countries and currencies that have had strong recent outperformance. Risk Premium evaluates whether a country is overcompensating investors for political and financial risk, while Fund Flows evaluates the strength of capital market inflows. Finally, Macro assesses a market’s interest rate environment and growth prospects.
 
How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period?
 
A  As we sought to increase the Fund’s total return and to hedge its portfolio against shifts in market conditions, we used instruments such as financial futures contracts.
 
What changes did you make to the Fund’s country weightings during the Reporting Period?
 
A  We increased the Fund’s weightings in Thailand, Poland and Chile during the Reporting Period and decreased its weightings in Taiwan, South Africa and China.
 
What were the Fund’s sector and country weightings at the end of the Reporting Period?
 
A  At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the energy, financials, consumer discretionary, materials, industrials and consumer staples sectors relative to the Index. It was underweight the information technology, telecommunication services, utilities and health care sectors.
 
In terms of countries, the Fund was overweight Chile, Thailand, Poland, Egypt, Turkey and South Korea relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund was underweight South Africa, Brazil, Taiwan, China, Russia, Malaysia, Mexico, Indonesia, Colombia, Peru, Hungary, Czech Republic and Morocco. The Fund was relatively neutral in the Philippines and India relative to the Index.

1 The net asset value (NAV) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.
2 The MSCI Emerging Markets Standard Index (unhedged, with dividend reinvested, net of dividend withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets. As of May 27, 2010 the MSCI Emerging Markets Index consisted of the following 21 emerging market country indices: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey. The index is divided into large and mid cap segments and provides exhaustive coverage of these size segments by targeting a coverage range around 85% of free float-adjusted market capitalization in each market. Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

3 The Standardized Average Annual Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if performance is one year or less) as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns.
 
These returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our Web site at: www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND

Performance Summary
October 31, 2010
 
The following graph shows the value, as of October 31, 2010, of a $10,000 investment made on October 5, 2007 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class C and Class IR Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in fees and sales charges. In addition to the investment adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry/country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010 (the “Reporting Period”).
 
How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?
 
A  During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 8.59%, 7.83%, 7.78%, 9.05%, 8.49%, 8.77% and 8.30%, respectively. These returns compare to the 8.36% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (unhedged and net of dividend withholding taxes) (the “Index”), during the same period.
 
What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?
 
A  We use two distinct strategies — a bottom-up stock selection strategy and a top-down country/currency selection strategy — to manage the Fund. These strategies are uncorrelated, that is, they tend to perform differently from each other over time, which enables us to greater diversify the portfolio.
 
During the Reporting Period, our country/currency selection strategy contributed to the Fund’s relative performance, while our stock selection strategy, which uses stock selection models based on six investment themes, detracted from results. We use these themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting those stocks chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of our model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of our theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term.
 
Which investment themes helped and which hurt within the Team’s stock selection strategy?
 
A  Our bottom-up stock selection strategy and its six investment themes detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Our Momentum theme was our weakest performing theme, followed by Profitability. Momentum predicts drift in stock prices caused by under-reaction to company-specific information, while Profitability assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. Sentiment and Quality also detracted, though to a lesser extent. Sentiment reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. Quality evaluates whether the company’s earnings are coming from more persistent, cash-based sources, as opposed to accruals.
 
Management and Valuation contributed positively to the Fund’s performance versus the Index. Our Management theme assesses the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. Valuation attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value.
 
How did the Fund’s sector allocations affect relative performance?
 
A  In constructing the portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector allocation and style. Changes in its sector weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative returns.
 
Which stock positions contributed the most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period?
 
A  We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we believe should outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. We also build positions based on our thematic views. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the benchmark.
 
Security selection in the financials, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors was the most successful during the Reporting Period. The Fund benefited from its overweighted positions in Compagnie Financière Richemont, a French luxury goods retailer; Koninklijke DSM, a

Netherlands-based diversified chemicals company; and Peugeot, a French carmaker. We chose to overweight Compagnie Financière Richemont because of our positive views on Momentum and Quality. The overweight to Koninklijke DSM was adopted as a result of our positive views on Valuation and Quality, while the Fund’s overweighted position in Peugeot was assumed because of our positive views on Valuation and Sentiment.
 
Which Fund positions detracted most from results during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Our stock picks in consumer staples, materials and utilities detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. In particular, the Fund held overweighted positions in German energy corporation E.ON; Spanish bank holding company Banco Santander; and Japan-based manufacturer of integrated circuits for computers Elpida Memory. The overweight in E.ON was adopted because of our positive views on Quality and Momentum. The Fund was overweight Banco Santander as a result of our positive views on Profitability and Management. The Fund was overweight Elpida Memory because of our positive views on Sentiment and Profitability.
 
What impact did the Team’s country/currency selection strategy have on the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Our country/currency selection strategy enhanced the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. The Fund benefited from its overweighted positions in Sweden, Hong Kong and Germany. Detracting were overweighted positions in the Netherlands and Austria and an underweighted position in Australia.
 
We made our picks using our proprietary models, which are based on five investment themes specific to the country/currency selection strategy — Valuation, Momentum, Risk Premium, Fund Flows and Macro. Valuation favors equity and currency markets that appear cheap relative to accounting measures of value and purchasing power. The Momentum factor favors countries and currencies that have had strong recent outperformance. Risk Premium evaluates whether a country is overcompensating investors for political and financial risk, while Fund Flows evaluates the strength of capital market inflows. Finally, Macro assesses a market’s interest rate environment and growth prospects.
 
How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period?
 
A  As we sought to increase the Fund’s total return and to hedge its portfolio against shifts in market conditions, we used instruments such as financial futures contracts.
 
What changes did you make to the Fund’s country weightings during the Reporting Period?
 
A  During the Reporting Period, we increased the Fund’s weightings in the Netherlands, Sweden and France relative to the Index. We decreased its weightings versus the Index in Australia, Spain and the United Kingdom.
 
What were the Fund’s sector and country weightings at the end of the Reporting Period?
 
A  At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the telecommunication services, materials, consumer staples, consumer discretionary, utilities and information technology sectors relative to the Index. The Fund was underweight health care and financials. It was relatively neutral to the Index in the energy and industrials sector.
 
In terms of countries, the Fund was overweight Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, France, Hong Kong, Norway and Austria relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period. It was underweight Switzerland, the U.K., Australia, Japan, Spain, Italy, Finland, Denmark, Greece and Portugal. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in Ireland, Singapore, Israel and New Zealand.

1 The net asset value (NAV) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.
2 The MSCI EAFE Standard Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East, unhedged, with dividend reinvested, net of dividend withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the US & Canada. As of May 27, 2010 the MSCI EAFE Index consisted of the following 22 developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The index is divided into large and mid cap segments and provides exhaustive coverage of these size segments by targeting a coverage range around 85% of free float-adjusted market capitalization in each market. The Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

3 The Standardized Average Annual Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares, the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years) and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Class B Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional, Service, Class IR and Class R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. Effective November 2, 2009, the Fund’s Class B Shares are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders (although current Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest income and capital gains distributions into Class B Shares, and Class B shareholders may continue to exchange their shares for Class B Shares of certain other Goldman Sachs Funds).
 
These returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our Web site at: www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

6 The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. The above graph categorizes investments using Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”), however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. Consequently, the Fund’s overall industry sector allocations may differ from the percentages contained in the graph above. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Investment in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 1.0% of the Fund’s net assets at October 31, 2010. Short-term investments represent investments in investment companies other than those that are exchange-traded.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND

Performance Summary
October 31, 2010
 
The following graph shows the value, as of October 31, 2010, of a $10,000 investment made on November 1, 2000 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (unhedged, with dividends reinvested), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class B, Class C, Service, Class IR and Class R Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in fees and sales charges. In addition to the investment adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry/country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Structured International Small Cap Fund
 
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Structured International Small Cap Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010 (the “Reporting Period”).
 
How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?
 
A  During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 19.36%, 18.50% and 19.67%, respectively. These returns compare to the 14.23% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index (unhedged and net of dividend withholding taxes) (the “Index”), during the same period.
 
The Fund’s Class IR Shares were launched on August 31, 2010. During the period from inception on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class IR Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 17.29%. This compares to the 15.70% cumulative total return of the Index during the same time period.
 
What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?
 
A  As expected, and in keeping with our investment approach, our quantitative model and its six investment themes had the greatest impact on relative performance. We use these themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting those stocks chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of our model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of our theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term.
 
Overall, our investment themes contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, with Management and Valuation contributing the most. Management assesses the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. Valuation attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. Our Sentiment and Momentum themes also added value. Sentiment reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. Momentum predicts drift in stock prices caused by under-reaction to company-specific information.
 
Profitability and Quality dampened results. Profitability assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital, while Quality evaluates whether the company’s earnings are coming from more persistent, cash-based sources, as opposed to accruals.
 
How did the Fund’s sector allocations affect relative performance?
 
A  In constructing the portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector allocation and style. Changes in its sector weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance.
 
Which stock positions contributed the most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period?
 
A  We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. We also build positions based on our thematic views. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the benchmark.
 
Stock picks in the financials, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors added the most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. The Fund benefited from overweighted positions in Océ, a Netherlands-based print and document management company; Dominos Pizza UK & IRL, a U.K.-based franchisee of the international fast food pizza delivery chain; and Arkema, a French chemical manufacturer. Our positive views on Valuation and Momentum led to the overweights in Océ and Arkema. The Fund was overweight Dominos Pizza because of our positive views on Profitability and Quality.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
 
 

 
Which Fund positions detracted most from results during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Investments in the utilities and telecommunication services sectors hampered the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Detracting the most were overweighted positions in QinetiQ, a U.K.-based defense technology and security company; Johnston Press, a Scottish newspaper publisher; and Daikyo, a Japanese real estate company. The overweight in QinetiQ was adopted because of our positive views on Profitability and Valuation. Our positive views on Momentum and Valuation resulted in the overweight in Johnston Press, while our positive views on Valuation and Quality led to the Fund’s overweight in Daikyo.
 
What impact did country selection have on the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period?
 
A  The Fund’s overweighted positions in French and German stocks and an underweighted position in Japanese equities contributed to relative performance. Detracting were underweighted positions in the stocks of companies based in the U.K., Switzerland and New Zealand. Security selection in all six countries added to returns.
 
How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period?
 
A  As we sought to increase the Fund’s total return and to hedge its portfolio against shifts in market conditions, we used instruments such as financial futures contracts.
 
What changes did you make to the Fund’s country weightings during the Reporting Period?
 
A  The largest shifts we made during the Reporting Period were to increase the Fund’s weightings relative to the Index in Germany, Sweden and France and to decrease the Fund’s weightings in the Netherlands, Belgium and Finland.
 
What were the Fund’s sector and country weightings at the end of the Reporting Period?
 
At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight materials, consumer discretionary and information technology relative to the Index. The Fund was underweight financials, industrials, energy, telecommunication services, health care, utilities and consumer staples compared to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period.
 
In terms of countries, the Fund was overweight Germany, Sweden, Norway, France and Austria relative to the Index. It was underweight Spain, Greece, Switzerland, Finland, Belgium and Italy. The Fund was neutral relative to the Index in Portugal, Denmark, the U.K., Hong Kong, Japan, Israel, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland and the Netherlands at the end of the Reporting Period.

2 The MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East, unhedged, with dividend reinvested, net of dividend withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the US & Canada. As of May 27, 2010 the MSCI EAFE Index consisted of the following 22 developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index covers all investable companies with a market capitalization below that of the companies in the MSCI EAFE Standard Index, and targets approximately 99% coverage of each market’s free-float adjusted market capitalization. The MSCI EAFE Standard Index targets approximately 85% coverage of each market’s free-float adjusted market capitalization. The Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

    N/A       11.86     8/31/10    
3 The Standardized Average Annual Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if performance is one year or less) as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns.
 
These returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our Web site at: www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS6
 
 
As of October 31, 2010
 
(SECTOR ALLOCATION BAR CHART)
 
6 The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. The above graph categorizes investments using Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”), however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. Consequently, the Fund’s overall industry sector allocations may differ from the percentages contained in the graph above. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Investment in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 3.7% of the Fund’s net assets at October 31, 2010. Short-term investments represent investments in investment companies other than those that are exchange-traded.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP FUND

Performance Summary
October 31, 2010
 
The following graph shows the value, as of October 31, 2010, of a $10,000 investment made on September 28, 2007 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap (Net) Index (net of dividend withholding taxes), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class C and Class IR Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in fees and sales charges. In addition to the investment adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry/country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2010
 
1. ORGANIZATION
 
 
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
 
             
        Diversified/
 
Fund   Share Classes Offered*   Non-Diversified  
   
Structured Emerging Markets Equity and Structured International Small Cap
  A, C, Institutional and IR     Diversified  
 
 
Structured International Equity
  A, B, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R     Diversified  
 
 
*   Effective November 2, 2009, Class B Shares are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders except under certain circumstances.
 
Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B Shares were sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional, Service, Class IR and R Shares are not subject to a sales charge. Class IR Shares of the Structured Emerging Markets Equity and Structured International Small Cap Funds commenced operations on August 31, 2010.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to each Fund pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
 
A. Investment Valuation — The investment valuation policy of the Funds 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 and 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 GSAM 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 GSAM 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
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.
GSAM, 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.
 
B. Security and Fund Share Transactions, and Investment Income — Security and Fund share transactions are reflected for financial reporting purposes as of the trade date, which may cause the NAV as stated in the accompanying financial statements to be different than the NAV applied to Fund share transactions. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Funds, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. In addition, it is the Funds’ policy to accrue for foreign capital gains taxes, if applicable, on certain foreign securities held by the Funds. An estimated foreign capital gains tax is recorded daily on net unrealized gains on these securities and is payable upon the sale of such securities when a gain is realized.
Investment income and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the respective Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
 
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense and are accrued daily.
 
D. Redemption Fees — Prior to October 1, 2010, all classes of the Funds charged a 2% redemption fee on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less. For this purpose, the Funds used a first-in first-out method so that shares held longest were treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest were treated as being redeemed last. Redemption fees were reimbursed to a Fund and were reflected as a reduction in share redemptions. Redemption fees were credited to Paid-in capital and were allocated to each share class of a Fund on a pro-rata basis at the time of payment. Effective October 1, 2010, the redemption fee for each Fund was eliminated.
 
E. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
Net capital losses are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.

The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. The Funds’ capital accounts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
 
F. 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 related 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.
 
G. 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.
 
H. In-Kind Transactions — The Funds may allow investors, under certain circumstances, to purchase shares with securities instead of cash or to redeem their shares in securities instead of cash. These are known as in-kind transactions. In-kind purchases and redemptions of Fund shares are based upon the closing value of the securities contributed or distributed, respectively, as of the date the trade is submitted pursuant to each Fund’s prospectus.

3. 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). 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 October 31, 2010:

4. 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, computed daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, contractual and effective management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:

B. Distribution and Service Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee, computed daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers, at the following annual rates calculated on a Fund’s average daily net assets of each respective share class:
 
                                 
    Distribution and Service Plan Rates  
    Class A*     Class B     Class C     Class R*  
   
Distribution Plan
    0.25 %     0.75 %     0.75 %     0.50 %
 
 
Service Plan
          0.25       0.25        
 
 
 
With respect to Class A and Class R Shares, the Distributor at its discretion may use compensation for distribution services paid under the Distribution Plan to compensate service organizations for personal and account maintenance services and expenses so long as such total compensation does not exceed the maximum cap on “service fees” imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
 
C. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A front end sales charge and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained the following approximate amounts:
 
                         
    Front End
    Contingent Deferred
 
    Sales Charge     Sales Charge  
Fund   Class A     Class B     Class C

Amount rounds to less than $100.
 
D. Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund that offers Service Shares, has adopted a Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance and shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan

each provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% (0.50% in aggregate) of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares.
 
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class IR and Class R Shares and 0.04% of average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
 
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expense” of the Funds (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agent fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meetings and other extraordinary expenses, exclusive of any custody and transfer agent fee credit reductions) 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 computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Structured Emerging Markets Equity, Structured International Equity and Structured International Small Cap Funds are 0.014%, 0.004% and 0.014%, respectively. These Other Expense reimbursements will remain in place through at least August 31, 2011 (February 28, 2011 for the Structured International Equity Fund), and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, these expense reductions, including Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows (in thousands):

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of October 31, 2010, the Funds participated in a $580,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. Pursuant to the terms of the facility, the Funds and other borrowers could increase the credit amount by an additional $340,000,000, for a total of up to $920,000,000. This facility is to be used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. 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 October 31, 2010, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to May 11, 2010, the amount available through the facility was $660,000,000.

5. 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 October 31, 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.

7. SECURITIES LENDING
 
 
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio II of Boston Global Investment Trust (“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 II 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. The amounts earned by the Funds for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, and differences related to the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments and securities on loan.
In order to present certain components of the Funds’ capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Funds’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and result primarily from the differing GAAP/tax treatment relating to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment company investments, and realized capital gains taxes.

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued)
 
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
 
9. OTHER RISKS
 
 
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 funds, accounts, individuals 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 funds, accounts or individuals of their holdings in the Funds may impact the Funds’ liquidity and NAV. These redemptions may also force the Funds to sell securities.
 
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.
 
10. INDEMNIFICATIONS
 
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, 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.
 
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
 
Subsequent events after the balance sheet date have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

*    The Fund changed its fiscal year end from August 31 to October 31.
(a)   Calculated based on the average shares outstanding methodology.
(b)   Assumes investment at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all distributions, a complete redemption of the investment at the net asset value at the end of the period and no sales or redemption charges. Total returns would be reduced if a sales or redemption charge was taken into account. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized.
(c)   The portfolio turnover rate previously reported has been revised to exclude the effect of short-term investments in a collateral management vehicle.
(d)   Annualized.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Goldman Sachs Trust — Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Funds:
 
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Goldman Sachs Structured Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured International Small Cap Fund (collectively the “Funds”), portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust, at October 31, 2010 and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS
 
 
Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended October 31, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Service Shares, Class IR or Class R of a Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges (loads) on redemptions (with respect to Class B and Class C Shares), and redemption fees (with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service Shares, if any); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Service Shares, Class IR and Class R of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2010 through October 31, 2010.
 
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
 
Background
The Goldman Sachs Structured Emerging Markets Equity, Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity and Goldman Sachs Structured International Small Cap Funds (the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held during the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2011 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on June 16-17, 2010 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held three meetings over the course of the year, since last approving the Management Agreement. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board meetings and/or the Annual Meeting, the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable, considered matters relating to the Management Agreement, including:
  (a)   the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative and other services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about:
  (i)   the structure, staff and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams;
  (ii)   the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services and operations), controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, market risk analysis and finance and strategy), sales and distribution support groups and others (e.g., information technology and training);
  (iii)   trends in headcount;
  (iv)   the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and
  (v)   the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its mutual fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management;
  (b)   information on the investment performance of the Funds, including comparisons to the performance of similar mutual funds, as provided by a third party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and benchmark performance indices, and general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Funds invest;
  (c)   the terms of the Management Agreement and agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Funds;
  (d)   expense information for the Funds, including:
  (i)   the relative management fee and expense levels of the Funds as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider;
  (ii)   each Fund’s expense trends over time; and
  (iii)   to the extent the Investment Adviser manages institutional accounts or collective investment vehicles having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser;
  (e)   with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Funds;
  (f)   the undertakings of the Investment Adviser to reimburse certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels, and a summary of contractual fee reductions made by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates over the past several years with respect to the Funds;
  (g)   information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of each of the Funds and the Trust as a whole to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates;
  (h)   potential economies of scale, if any, and the levels of breakpoints in the fees payable by the Funds under the Management Agreement;

  (i)   a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Funds for transfer agency, securities lending, portfolio brokerage, distribution and other services;
  (j)   a summary of potential benefits derived by the Funds as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser;
  (k)   commission rates paid by the Funds and other portfolio trading related issues;
  (l)   portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined, the alignment of the interests of the Funds and of the portfolio managers and related potential conflicts of interest; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers;
  (m)   the nature and quality of the services provided to the Funds by their unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administration services provided under the Management Agreement; and
  (n)   the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Funds’ compliance program; and compliance reports.
The Trustees also received an overview of the Funds’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Funds’ assets, share purchase and redemption activity and the payment of Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees by the Funds and the payment of non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service and/or administration fees by the Structured International Equity Fund’s Service Shares. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution and/or servicing of Fund shares.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual fund portfolios for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser, its affiliates, their services and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services, and the other, non-advisory services, that are provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. They noted that management had made certain personnel changes in an effort to improve the performance of the Funds. The Independent Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser had committed substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also observed that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds and the Investment Adviser.
 
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds and the Investment Adviser. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to the performance of other similar SEC-registered funds and to rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider. This information on each Fund’s investment performance relative to that of its peers was provided for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2009, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods. The Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance over time on a year-by-year basis relative to its performance benchmark. In addition, they considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. The Trustees considered whether each Fund had operated within its investment policies and had complied with its investment limitations.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
 
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s Chief Investment Officer and portfolio management personnel, in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
The Trustees observed that the Structured International Equity and Structured International Small Cap Funds ranked in the bottom half of their respective peer groups over the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, but noted the Structured International Equity Fund’s recent improvement over the most recent three-month time period. The Trustees also noted that, in response to the recent market turmoil, the Investment Adviser implemented measures intended to improve Fund performance, including adjusting the Quantitative Investment Strategies (“QIS”) team’s investment process used to manage the Funds (which among other things included changes in trading strategies and enhancements to the models) and making certain changes to the QIS team’s personnel. The Trustees also recognized that these changes would need time to achieve their desired effects, and resolved to continue to monitor the Funds’ performance. The Trustees noted that they had expressed concern about the under performance relative to their respective peer groups and benchmarks of the Funds to senior management of the Investment Adviser and determined that the changes implemented by the Investment Adviser, and the Funds’ recent performance, including over the most recent three-month period, provided a basis for concluding that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders.
 
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual fee rates payable by each Fund under the Management Agreement. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as registered mutual funds.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of the Funds’ management fees and breakpoints to those of relevant peer groups and category universes; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and a three-year (five-year, in the case of Structured International Equity Fund) history comparing each Fund’s expenses to the peer and category averages. The analyses also compared each Fund’s transfer agency fees, custody and accounting fees, distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of other funds in the peer group and the peer group median. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.
In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to limit the Funds’ “other expenses” ratios (excluding certain expenses) to certain specified levels. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages institutional accounts or collective investment vehicles having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to institutional accounts, which generally operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, were less time-intensive and paid lower fees. By contrast, the Trustees noted that the Investment Adviser provides substantial administrative services to the Funds under the terms of the Management Agreement.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if they believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
 
Profitability
The Trustees reviewed the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins with respect to the Trust and each of the Funds. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service) and the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also reviewed the report of the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization, which included an assessment of the reasonableness and consistency of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and an evaluation of the accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for the Trust and each Fund were provided for 2009 and 2008, and the Trustees

considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability. The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins both in absolute terms and in comparison to information on the reported pre-tax profit margins earned by certain other asset management firms.
 
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding the Investment Adviser’s profitability and the rationale for the Funds’ breakpoint structure. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for each of the Funds at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Funds:
 
                         
    Structured Emerging
    Structured International
    Structured International
 
    Markets Equity Fund     Equity Fund     Small Cap Fund  
   
First $1 billion
    1.00 %     0.85 %     0.85 %
Next $1 billion
    1.00       0.77       0.85  
Next $3 billion
    0.90       0.73       0.77  
Next $3 billion
    0.86       0.72       0.73  
Over $8 billion
    0.84       0.71       0.72  
 
The Trustees noted that the breakpoints at the $5 and $8 billion asset levels had been proposed by the Investment Adviser and approved by the Trustees in 2008 to further share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Funds and their shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Funds; the Funds’ recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer group; and the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to limit other expenses to certain amounts. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels. They also noted that the Investment Adviser was passing along savings to shareholders of the Structured International Equity Fund, which had asset levels above at least the first breakpoint.
 
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of the Funds; (c) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (d) fees earned throughout the year by Goldman Sachs Agency Lending, an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, as securities lending agent (and fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the portfolio in which the Funds’ cash collateral is invested); (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (g) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (h) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; and (i) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage relationships with the Funds’ third party service providers to attract more firmwide business. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of the fall-out benefits. In looking at the benefits to Goldman Sachs Agency Lending and the Investment Adviser from the securities lending program, they noted that the Funds also benefited from their participation in the securities lending program.
 
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) improved servicing and pricing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) improved servicing from broker-dealers because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs

organization; (e) the advantages gained from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (g) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firmwide resources (e.g., proprietary databases); and (h) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. The Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and noted further that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
 
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees concluded that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until June 30, 2011.

The reports concerning the Funds included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Funds in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Funds, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Funds. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.

Item 4(e)(1) — Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”) adopted by the Audit Committee of Goldman Sachs Trust (“GST”) sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services performed by an independent auditor for GST may be pre-approved. Services may be pre-approved specifically by the Audit Committee as a whole or, in certain circumstances, by the Audit Committee Chairman or the person designated as the Audit Committee Financial Expert. In addition, subject to specified cost limitations, certain services may be pre-approved under the provisions of the Policy. The Policy provides that the Audit Committee will consider whether the services provided by an independent auditor are consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules on auditor independence. The Policy provides for periodic review and pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the services that may be provided by the independent auditor.

     De Minimis Waiver. The pre-approval requirements of the Policy may be waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services that are permissible for an independent auditor to perform, provided (1) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues subject to pre-approval that was paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by GST at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee, pursuant to the pre-approval provisions of the Policy.

     Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to GST’s Investment Advisers. The Policy provides that, in addition to requiring pre-approval of audit and non-audit services provided to GST, the Audit Committee will pre-approve those non-audit services provided to GST’s investment advisers (and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment advisers that provide ongoing services to GST) where the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of GST.

Item 4(e)(2) – 0% of the audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees listed in Table 1 were approved by GST’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X. In addition, 0% of the non-audit services to the GST’s service affiliates listed in Table 2 were approved by GST’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.

Item 4(f) – Not applicable.

Item 4(g) Aggregate Non-Audit Fees Disclosure

The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST by PwC for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 were approximately $885,434 and $775,438 respectively. The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST’s adviser and service affiliates by PwC for non-audit services for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were approximately $6.4 million and $5.8 million respectively. With regard to the aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST’s adviser and service affiliates, the 2009 and 2008 amounts include fees for non-audit services required to be pre-approved [see Table 2] and fees for non-audit services that did not require pre-approval since they did not directly relate to GST’s operations or financial reporting.

Item 4(h) — GST’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to GST’s investment adviser and service affiliates that did not require pre-approval pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.
