The following replaces in its entirety the “Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Insights Fund—Summary—Expense Example” section of the Prospectus:

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

This Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R, Class R6 and/or Class T Shares of the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R, Class R6 and/or Class T Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (except that the Example incorporates the expense limitation arrangement for only the first year). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

The Investment Adviser may waive a portion of its advisory fee from time to time, and may discontinue or modify any such waiver in the future, consistent with the terms of any fee waiver arrangement in place.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees’ approval of the Management Agreement for the Funds in 2016 is available in the Funds’ annual report for the period ended October 31, 2016, and a discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees’ approval of the Management Agreement for the Funds in 2017 will be available in the Funds’ annual report for the period ending October 31, 2017.
