This is an actively managed fund that is not designed to track its reference benchmark. Therefore the performance of the fund and the performance of its reference benchmark may diverge. In addition stated reference benchmark returns do not reflect any management or other charges to the fund, whereas stated returns of the fund do. Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary. The value of investments and the income derived from investments will fluctuate and can go down as well as up. A loss of capital may occur.

Please see Additional Notes. All performance and holdings data as at 31-Jul-18.Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary.* We identify two broad categories of funds to help investors think about how to construct their overall investment portfolio. We describe the following as “Core”: (A) Equity funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US and European markets, given the size and transparency of these markets. (B) Fixed income funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US, European and UK markets and invest predominantly in investment grade debt, including government. (C) Multi asset funds with a multi asset benchmark. All other funds we describe as “Complements”. Both Core and Complement funds can vary in risk level and those terms are not meant to indicate the risk level of the funds. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.For regionally focussed investment portfolios we understand that the categorisation may be different from the perspective of different investors. Consult your financial adviser before investing to help determine if an investment in this fund and the amount of the investment would be suitable.

Please see Additional Notes. All performance and holdings data as at 31-Jul-18.Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary.* We identify two broad categories of funds to help investors think about how to construct their overall investment portfolio. We describe the following as “Core”: (A) Equity funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US and European markets, given the size and transparency of these markets. (B) Fixed income funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US, European and UK markets and invest predominantly in investment grade debt, including government. (C) Multi asset funds with a multi asset benchmark. All other funds we describe as “Complements”. Both Core and Complement funds can vary in risk level and those terms are not meant to indicate the risk level of the funds. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.For regionally focussed investment portfolios we understand that the categorisation may be different from the perspective of different investors. Consult your financial adviser before investing to help determine if an investment in this fund and the amount of the investment would be suitable.

This is an actively managed fund that is not designed to track its reference benchmark. Therefore the performance of the fund and the performance of its reference benchmark may diverge. In addition stated reference benchmark returns do not reflect any management or other charges to the fund, whereas stated returns of the fund do.

A loss of capital may occur.

Please see Additional Notes. All performance and holdings data as at 31-Jul-18.Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary.* We identify two broad categories of funds to help investors think about how to construct their overall investment portfolio. We describe the following as “Core”: (A) Equity funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US and European markets, given the size and transparency of these markets. (B) Fixed income funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US, European and UK markets and invest predominantly in investment grade debt, including government. (C) Multi asset funds with a multi asset benchmark. All other funds we describe as “Complements”. Both Core and Complement funds can vary in risk level and those terms are not meant to indicate the risk level of the funds. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.For regionally focussed investment portfolios we understand that the categorisation may be different from the perspective of different investors.

See details in the Key Investor Information Document. (4) Until 30th May 2016 the Portfolio was named Goldman Sachs Global Responsible Equity Portfolio. On the 31st May 2016, the Portfolio changed its investment objective and strategy, and as a result the Portfolio’s name changed to Goldman Sachs Global Equity Partners ESG Portfolio. (5) Effective May 31, 2016, the Portfolio’s reference benchmark changed from MSCI ACWI Index (Net) to MSCI World Index (Total Return Net). The MSCI World Index (Total Return Net) is quoted at month-end with income reinvested and, in contrast to the Portfolio, shown without the deduction of any expenses. (6) Fund returns are shown net of applicable ongoing fees within the portfolio, with dividends re-invested using the ex-dividend NAV. These returns are for comparison of performance against specified index. As the investor may be liable to other fees, charges and taxes, they are not meant to provide a measure of actual return to investors. The performance data do not take account of the commissions and costs incurred on the issue and redemption of shares.

Please see Additional Notes. All performance and holdings data as at 31-Jul-18.Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary.* We identify two broad categories of funds to help investors think about how to construct their overall investment portfolio. We describe the following as “Core”: (A) Equity funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US and European markets, given the size and transparency of these markets. (B) Fixed income funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US, European and UK markets and invest predominantly in investment grade debt, including government. (C) Multi asset funds with a multi asset benchmark. All other funds we describe as “Complements”. Both Core and Complement funds can vary in risk level and those terms are not meant to indicate the risk level of the funds. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.For regionally focussed investment portfolios we understand that the categorisation may be different from the perspective of different investors. Consult your financial adviser before investing to help determine if an investment in this fund and the amount of the investment would be suitable.

Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Portfolio Base Shares (Acc.)
3 Month Libor (USD)
This is an actively managed fund that is not designed to track its reference benchmark. Therefore the performance of the fund and the performance of its reference benchmark may diverge. In addition stated reference benchmark returns do not reflect any management or other charges to the fund, whereas stated returns of the fund do. Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary. The value of investments and the income derived from investments will fluctuate and can go down as well as up. A loss of capital may occur.

We describe the following as “Core”: (A) Equity funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US and European markets, given the size and transparency of these markets. (B) Fixed income funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US, European and UK markets and invest predominantly in investment grade debt, including government. (C) Multi asset funds with a multi asset benchmark. All other funds we describe as “Complements”. Both Core and Complement funds can vary in risk level and those terms are not meant to indicate the risk level of the funds. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.For regionally focussed investment portfolios we understand that the categorisation may be different from the perspective of different investors.

The value of investments and the income derived from investments will fluctuate and can go down as well as up. A loss of capital may occur.(1) The ongoing charges figure is based on expenses during the previous year. See details in the Key Investor Information Document. (2) The performance fees are calculated in accordance with the methodology described in the prospectus using a rate of 10.00% of net returns the share class achieves above Overnight LIBOR. In the Fund's last financial year the performance fee was 0.00% of the net asset value of the share class. (3) Fund returns are shown net of applicable ongoing fees within the portfolio, with dividends re-invested using the ex-dividend NAV. These returns are for comparison of performance against specified index. As the investor may be liable to other fees, charges and taxes, they are not meant to provide a measure of actual return to investors. The performance data do not take account of the commissions and costs incurred on the issue and redemption of shares. (4) The Overnight Libor index rate is an average derived from the quotation provided by the banks determined by the British Bankers' Association (BBA). In contrast to the portfolio, the index is shown without the deduction of any expenses (5) At 31 July 2018, the forecasted volatility (predicted TE) of the fund is 3.44% per annum. The top 1 and 3 exposures contribute 41.00% and 88.20% of this forecasted volatility.

Bloomberg Barclays Euro Aggregate 500mm 1-3 yr(4)
Morningstar EUR Diversified Bond - Short Term(2)
This is an actively managed fund that is not designed to track its reference benchmark. Therefore the performance of the fund and the performance of its reference benchmark may diverge. In addition stated reference benchmark returns do not reflect any management or other charges to the fund, whereas stated returns of the fund do. Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary. The value of investments and the income derived from investments will fluctuate and can go down as well as up. A loss of capital may occur.

Please see Additional Notes. All performance and holdings data as at 31-Jul-18.Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary.* We identify two broad categories of funds to help investors think about how to construct their overall investment portfolio. We describe the following as “Core”: (A) Equity funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US and European markets, given the size and transparency of these markets. (B) Fixed income funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US, European and UK markets and invest predominantly in investment grade debt, including government. (C) Multi asset funds with a multi asset benchmark. All other funds we describe as “Complements”. Both Core and Complement funds can vary in risk level and those terms are not meant to indicate the risk level of the funds. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.For regionally focussed investment portfolios we understand that the categorisation may be different from the perspective of different investors. Consult your financial adviser before investing to help determine if an investment in this fund and the amount of the investment would be suitable.

Please see Additional Notes. All performance and holdings data as at 31-Jul-18.Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary.* We identify two broad categories of funds to help investors think about how to construct their overall investment portfolio. We describe the following as “Core”: (A) Equity funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US and European markets, given the size and transparency of these markets. (B) Fixed income funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US, European and UK markets and invest predominantly in investment grade debt, including government. (C) Multi asset funds with a multi asset benchmark. All other funds we describe as “Complements”. Both Core and Complement funds can vary in risk level and those terms are not meant to indicate the risk level of the funds. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.For regionally focussed investment portfolios we understand that the categorisation may be different from the perspective of different investors. Consult your financial adviser before investing to help determine if an investment in this fund and the amount of the investment would be suitable.

All performance and holdings data as at 31-Jul-18.Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary.* We identify two broad categories of funds to help investors think about how to construct their overall investment portfolio. We describe the following as “Core”: (A) Equity funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US and European markets, given the size and transparency of these markets. (B) Fixed income funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US, European and UK markets and invest predominantly in investment grade debt, including government. (C) Multi asset funds with a multi asset benchmark. All other funds we describe as “Complements”. Both Core and Complement funds can vary in risk level and those terms are not meant to indicate the risk level of the funds. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.For regionally focussed investment portfolios we understand that the categorisation may be different from the perspective of different investors.

The value of investments and the income derived from investments will fluctuate and can go down as well as up. A loss of capital may occur.(1) The ongoing charges figure is based on expenses during the previous year. See details in the Key Investor Information Document. (2) The performance fees are calculated in accordance with the methodology described in the prospectus using a rate of 20.00% of net returns the share class achieves above 3 Month LIBOR. In the Fund's last financial year the performance fee was 0.00% of the net asset value of the share class. (3) The 3 Month Libor Index is quoted month-end with income reinvested and, in contrast to the Portfolio, shown without the deduction of any expenses. (4) Fund returns are shown net of applicable ongoing fees within the portfolio, with dividends re-invested using the ex-dividend NAV. These returns are for comparison of performance against specified index. As the investor may be liable to other fees, charges and taxes, they are not meant to provide a measure of actual return to investors. The performance data do not take account of the commissions and costs incurred on the issue and redemption of shares.

Goldman Sachs US Fixed Income Portfolio Base Shares(4)
Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate (One Day Lag)(3)
Morningstar USD Diversified Bond(1)
This is an actively managed fund that is not designed to track its reference benchmark. Therefore the performance of the fund and the performance of its reference benchmark may diverge. In addition stated reference benchmark returns do not reflect any management or other charges to the fund, whereas stated returns of the fund do. Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary. The value of investments and the income derived from investments will fluctuate and can go down as well as up. A loss of capital may occur.

Please see Additional Notes. All performance and holdings data as at 31-Jul-18.Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary.* We identify two broad categories of funds to help investors think about how to construct their overall investment portfolio. We describe the following as “Core”: (A) Equity funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US and European markets, given the size and transparency of these markets. (B) Fixed income funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US, European and UK markets and invest predominantly in investment grade debt, including government. (C) Multi asset funds with a multi asset benchmark. All other funds we describe as “Complements”. Both Core and Complement funds can vary in risk level and those terms are not meant to indicate the risk level of the funds. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.For regionally focussed investment portfolios we understand that the categorisation may be different from the perspective of different investors. Consult your financial adviser before investing to help determine if an investment in this fund and the amount of the investment would be suitable.

The value of investments and the income derived from investments will fluctuate and can go down as well as up. A loss of capital may occur.(1) The Morningstar sector average figures are calculated using all open funds available in the universe at the indicated time period. The number of funds in a Morningstar sector varies over time as new funds are launched and funds close. Source: Morningstar ©2018 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved. (2) The ongoing charges figure is based on expenses during the previous year. See details in the Key Investor Information Document. (3) The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index is calculated, for performance purposes, 1 day prior to month-end to more closely resemble the timing of the security prices in the US Fixed Income Portfolio. Estimated income is reinvested and, in contrast to the Portfolio, is shown without the deduction of any expenses. (4) Fund returns are shown net of applicable ongoing fees within the portfolio, with dividends re-invested using the ex-dividend NAV. These returns are for comparison of performance against specified index. As the investor may be liable to other fees, charges and taxes, they are not meant to provide a measure of actual return to investors. The performance data do not take account of the commissions and costs incurred on the issue and redemption of shares.

Net total return is a reflection of return to an investor, by reinvesting dividends after the deduction of withholding tax. The rate of withholding tax applied to the BofA ML LIBOR 1-month Constant Maturity is consistent with the actual rate of withholding tax the Portfolio will incur on dividends received from foreign companies. (5) Fund returns are shown net of applicable ongoing fees within the portfolio, with dividends re-invested using the ex-dividend NAV. These returns are for comparison of performance against specified index. As the investor may be liable to other fees, charges and taxes, they are not meant to provide a measure of actual return to investors. The performance data do not take account of the commissions and costs incurred on the issue and redemption of shares. (6) Securities portfolio only, excludes cash and cash equivalents.

The value of investments and the income derived from investments will fluctuate and can go down as well as up. A loss of capital may occur.(1) The ongoing charges figure is based on expenses during the previous year. See details in the Key Investor Information Document. (2) Exposure is shown as a percentage of Fund Net Asset Value. The totals for gross and net exposure may not sum due to rounding. Gross exposure and net exposure are one of the many indicators used to gauge leverage and market directionality (i.e., whether the Fund is positioned long or short the market) respectively. Exposure is calculated using different metrics depending on the underlying instrument type. For example, for corporate bonds, loans, and stocks, market value is used; for sovereign bonds, 10-year U.S. Treasury equivalent is used (i.e. duration adjusted); for equity and foreign exchange options, delta-adjusted notional value is used; for Credit Default Swaps, FX Forwards and Equity Futures, notional value is used; for options on bond futures, delta-adjusted 10-year U.S. Treasury equivalent is used. Exposure of all interest rate products is displayed in 10-year U.S. Treasury equivalents. This adjustment helps to standardize exposure for interest rate instruments that have different durations and is typically considered a better measure of economic exposure for interest rate instruments compared to notional exposure. All options positions are displayed on a delta adjusted notional value basis i.e., the exposure is option delta * underlying notional value. Delta adjustment is necessary to properly account for the sensitivity of options to changes in price of the underlying security as well as for making exposure comparisons to the underlying (measuring options exposure as premium will understate the economic exposure and risk, while measuring exposure as notional value will overstate the economic exposure).

We describe the following as “Core”: (A) Equity funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US and European markets, given the size and transparency of these markets. (B) Fixed income funds with a global investment remit or those mainly focused on US, European and UK markets and invest predominantly in investment grade debt, including government. (C) Multi asset funds with a multi asset benchmark. All other funds we describe as “Complements”. Both Core and Complement funds can vary in risk level and those terms are not meant to indicate the risk level of the funds. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.For regionally focussed investment portfolios we understand that the categorisation may be different from the perspective of different investors.

Glossary
Beta – Measures the sensitivity of the fund’s returns to the comparative benchmark index return (annualised). The nearer to 1.00, the closer the historical fluctuations in the value of the fund are to the benchmark. If above 1.00, then fund fluctuations have been greater than the benchmark.
Commissions – Total amount paid to executing brokers in relation to dealing in buying and selling of investments in the Fund during year ending 30 November 2016.
Duration of the Portfolio – Measure of the sensitivity of the price of a bond or portfolio to a change in interest rates paid. The larger the number (positive or negative), the greater the change in price for given changes in interest rates. When duration is positive a rise in interest rates results in a fall in price while for a negative duration a rise in interest rates results in a rise in price.
Excess Returns – The return of the fund in excess of the benchmark/index return (annualised).
Historical Tracking Error - Measure of the actual deviation of the fund’s returns from the comparative benchmark index returns (annualised). A higher number means that the fund is taking greater risk against the benchmark.
Historical Volatility of Portfolio – Illustrates the dispersion of the fund’s realized monthly returns around the average monthly return, indicating how volatile the fund’s return is over time. The higher the number the more volatile the fund’s returns.
Interest Rate Duration – This is a modified measure of Total Average Duration that has been estimated by GSAM. This modified measure seeks to take account of the different behaviours of different bond markets around the world by re-expressing all duration exposures to a common US market standard. The goal is to improve the estimate of the portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. This estimate is guided by historical market observations amongst markets which are themselves subject to change over time and may not necessarily be reflected by the actual outcome.
Net Asset Value – Represents the net assets of the fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares issued by the fund.
Other Expenses – Fees deduced from the Fund’s assets incurred as part of the Fund’s operations, including, where applicable, costs incurred by the Fund when investing in other funds.
Other Costs – Total amount of costs incurred by the Fund outside Commissions during year ending 30 November. These may include, but not limited to, market fees and local taxes.
R2 – Measure that represents the percentage of a portfolio movement linked to movements in the benchmark index return (annualised). The nearer to [1.00], the more a fund is tracking the risk of the benchmark, and the less risk that the fund is taking against the benchmark.
Swing Pricing – This describes the total trading spreads and any other duties and charges (e.g. Broker Commissions, Stamp Duty and Taxes) that may be paid on entry and exit to the Fund and which seek to protect long-term investors already in the Fund. The price shown is measured at last quarter end, and is only indicative of the swing that may apply to a new subscription/redemption.
Ongoing Charges – The ongoing charges figure is based on the fund’s expenses during the previous 12 months, on a rolling basis. It excludes transaction costs and performance fees incurred by the fund.
Transactions Costs – Total trading costs of transactions incurred by the fund, including Commissions during year ending 30 November 2016. Does not include trading spreads incurred on transactions.
Turnover Ratio – Measure of how frequently over the period assets are bought or sold in the fund (Lower of Purchases or sales by the Fund/Average net assets of the Fund).
Weighted Average Life (WAL) – Forecast sensitivity of portfolio returns to the comparative index calculated over X years.
Weighted Average Maturity (WAM) – Measures the deviation in portfolio weights from the comparative index/benchmark.
Yield to Maturity – The rate of return anticipated on a bond if it is held until the maturity date shown without the deduction of any expenses.
Yield to Worst – The lowest potential yield that can be received on a bond without the issuer actually defaulting.

Investors should be aware that from time to time this may result in the fund performing differently compared to the reference benchmark/comparative index based solely on the effect of swing pricing rather than price developments of underlying instruments.Investment Not Insured: Investment into the fund is not insured or guaranteed by any Government agency, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Company, and is not the same as placing funds on deposit with a bank or deposit-taking company.

Prospective investors should consult their financial and tax adviser before investing in order to determine whether an investment would be suitable for them.

The figures for the index reflect the reinvestment of all income or dividends, as applicable, but do not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses which would reduce returns. Investors cannot invest directly in indices.The indices referenced herein have been selected because they are well known, easily recognized by investors, and reflect those indices that the Investment Manager believes, in part based on industry practice, provide a suitable benchmark against which to evaluate the investment or broader market described herein. The exclusion of “failed” or closed hedge funds may mean that each index overstates the performance of hedge funds generally.Mortgage-backed securities are subject to certain additional risks. Generally, rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of fixed rate mortgage-backed securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result, in a period of rising interest rates, if the Fund holds mortgage-backed securities, it may exhibit additional volatility. In addition, adjustable and fixed rate mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk. When interest rates decline, borrowers may pay off their mortgages sooner than expected. This can reduce the returns of the Fund because the Fund may have to reinvest that money at the lower prevailing interest rates.The holdings and/or allocations shown may not represent all of the portfolio's investments.The relevant articles of association, prospectus, supplement and key investor information document (KIID) and latest annual/semi-annual report (as applicable) are available free of charge from the fund’s paying and information agents as listed below:Austria: Raiffeisen Bank International AG, Am Stadtpark 9, A-1030 Wien, Austria.Belgium: RBC Investor Services, Place Rogier II, 1210 Brussels, Belgium.Denmark: Stockrate Asset Management, Mollevej 9 E2, DK-2990 Niva, Denmark.France: RBC Investor Services Bank France, 105, rue Réaumur, 75002 Paris, France.Germany: State Street Bank GmbH, Brienner Strasse 59, 80333 Munich, Germany.Greece: Piraeus Bank S.A., 4 Amerikis Street, 10564 Athens, Greece.Ireland: RBC Investor Services Ireland Limited, George's Quay House, 43 Townsend Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.
