A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1% may be imposed on Class A Shares redeemed within 18 months of purchase, if the Shares
were purchased at NAV and a one-time commission was paid by the Distributor to the Authorized Institution. A CDSC is imposed on Class B Shares redeemed within six years of purchase, declining from a rate of 5% in the first year to 1% in the sixth
year, and eliminated thereafter. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase.

The differences in the “Other Expenses” ratios across the share classes are the result of, among other things, contractual differences in
transfer agency fees and the effect of mathematical rounding on the daily accrual of certain expenses, particularly in respect of small share classes.

The Investment Adviser has agreed to (i) waive a portion of its management fees in order to achieve an effective net management rate of 0.51% as
an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets of the Fund; and (ii) reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder
meeting, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses) to 0.004% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. These arrangements will remain in effect through at least February 28, 2015, and prior to such date, the Investment Adviser
may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Board of Trustees. The Fund’s “Other Expenses” may be further reduced by any custody and transfer agency fee credits received by the Fund.

2 SUMMARY PROSPECTUS — GOLDMAN SACHS INCOME BUILDER FUND
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 B, Class C, Institutional and/or
Class IR Shares of the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and/or Class IR 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 fee waiver and expense limitation arrangements for only the first year). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on
these assumptions your costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities or instruments
(
i.e.
, “turns over” its portfolio). A high rate of portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs, including brokerage commissions, which must be borne by the Fund and its shareholders, and is also likely to result in
higher short-term capital gains for taxable shareholders. These costs are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the expense example above, but are reflected in the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 was 53% of the average value of its portfolio.
The Fund seeks to provide income through investments in fixed income securities (bonds)
and high dividend paying equities, preferred equities and other similar securities (stocks). The Fund seeks to achieve capital appreciation primarily through equity securities. The percentage of the portfolio invested in equity and fixed income
securities will vary from time to time as the Investment Adviser evaluates such securities’ relative attractiveness based on, among other factors, income opportunities, market valuations, economic growth and inflation prospects. The Fund has a
baseline allocation to fixed income securities of 60% and to equity securities of 40%. In seeking to meet its investment objective, the Fund has the flexibility to opportunistically tilt the allocation to fixed income and equity securities up to 15%
above or below the baseline allocation, measured at the time of investment.
Equity Investments.
The Fund
may invest up to 55% of its total assets (not including securities lending collateral and any investment of that collateral) (“Total Assets”) measured at the time of purchase in equity investments, which include, among others, U.S. common
stocks, preferred stocks and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) of U.S. and foreign issuers (including issuers in countries with emerging markets or economies (“emerging countries”)), as well as master limited partnerships
(“MLPs”), real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and affiliated and unaffiliated investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). With respect to the equity portion of the Fund’s portfolio, the
Investment Adviser employs a value investment philosophy and seeks to identify quality businesses selling at compelling valuations. The Investment Adviser expects that equity investments will be weighted in favor of companies which pay dividends or
other current income. While the Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization, the Investment Adviser will typically favor equity securities of large-cap companies within the range of the market capitalization of the Russell 1000
®
Value Index at the time of investment.
Fixed Income Investments.
The Fund may invest up to 75% of its Total Assets measured at the time of purchase in fixed income investments. The Fund’s fixed income investments may
include, among others:
|
¡
|
Securities issued by corporations, banks and other issuers, including non-investment grade securities
|
|
¡
|
Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises (“U.S. Government Securities”)
|
|
¡
|
Securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governments or any of their political subdivisions, agencies, or instrumentalities and foreign corporations or other
entities.
|
The Fund may also seek to obtain exposure to these investments through investments in affiliated or unaffiliated
investment companies, including ETFs.
3 SUMMARY PROSPECTUS — GOLDMAN SACHS INCOME BUILDER FUND
The Fund’s investments in foreign fixed income securities may include securities of foreign issuers
(including issuers in emerging countries) and securities denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar.
The Fund may invest in both
non-investment grade and investment grade fixed income securities. Non-investment grade fixed income securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”), which are rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
(“Standard & Poor’s”), or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), or have a comparable rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) (or, if unrated,
determined by the Investment Adviser to be of comparable credit quality), at the time of investment. Non-investment grade securities may include, among others, non-investment grade bonds, non-investment grade floating rate loans and other floating
or variable rate obligations. With respect to the fixed income portion of its portfolio, the Fund does not maintain a fixed target duration.
Additional Information
The Fund
may invest without limit in non-U.S. equity and non-U.S. fixed income securities.
In addition to direct investments in equity and fixed income
securities, the Fund may invest in derivatives, including credit default swaps (including credit default index swaps or “CDX”), total return swaps and futures, which can be used for both hedging purposes and to seek to increase total
return. The Fund may also utilize various interest rate-related derivatives, including futures and swaps, to manage the duration of its fixed income positions. Additionally, the Fund may hedge its nondollar investments back to the U.S. dollar
through the use of foreign currency derivatives, including currency futures and forward foreign currency contracts, or invest in such instruments for speculative purposes.
The Investment Adviser may decide to sell a position for various reasons, including valuation and price considerations, readjustment of the Investment Adviser’s outlook based on subsequent events,
the Investment Adviser’s ongoing assessment of the quality and effectiveness of management, if new investment ideas offer the potential for better risk/reward profiles than existing holdings, or for risk management purposes.
The Fund’s benchmarks are the Russell 1000
®
Value Index and the Bank of America Merrill Lynch BB to B U.S. High Yield Constrained Index.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF THE FUND
|
|
|
Loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a
bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any government agency. The Fund should not be relied upon as a complete investment program. There can be no assurance that the Fund will
achieve its investment objective.
Investments in the Fund involve substantial risks which prospective investors should consider carefully
before investing.
Credit/Default Risk.
An issuer or guarantor of fixed income securities held by the Fund (which may have low
credit ratings) may default on its obligation to pay interest and repay principal or default on any other obligation. Additionally, the credit quality of securities may deteriorate rapidly, which may impair the Fund’s liquidity and cause
significant deterioration in net asset value (“NAV”). To the extent that the Fund invests in non-investment grade fixed income securities, these risks will be more pronounced.
Derivatives Risk.
Loss may result from the Fund’s investments in futures, swaps and other derivative instruments. These instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so
that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its
contractual obligation.
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk.
Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more
or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Fund invests. Loss may also result from the imposition of exchange controls, confiscations and other
government restrictions, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or
other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent the Fund also invests in issuers located in emerging
countries, these risks may be more pronounced.
Interest Rate Risk.
When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or
instruments held by the Fund will generally decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments.
Investment Style Risk.
Different investment styles (
e.g
., “growth”, “value” or “quantitative”) tend to
shift in and out of favor depending upon market and economic conditions and investor sentiment. The Fund may outperform or underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes but employ different investment styles.
Management Risk.
A strategy used by the Investment Adviser may fail to produce the intended results.
Market Risk.
The value of the instruments in which the Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies,
particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets.
4 SUMMARY PROSPECTUS — GOLDMAN SACHS INCOME BUILDER FUND
Master Limited Partnership Risk.
Investments in securities of an MLP involve risks that differ
from investments in common stock, including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow
risks, dilution risks and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unit-holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price, resulting from regulatory changes or other reasons. Certain MLP securities may trade in
lower volumes due to their smaller capitalizations, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements and lower market liquidity. MLPs are generally considered interest-rate sensitive investments. During periods of interest rate
volatility, these investments may not provide attractive returns.
To the extent a distribution received by the Fund from an MLP is treated as
a return of capital, the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in the interests of the MLP may be reduced, which will result in an increase in an amount of income or gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Fund for tax
purposes upon the sale of any such interests or upon subsequent distributions in respect of such interests. Furthermore, any return of capital distribution received from the MLP may require the Fund to restate the character of its distributions and
amend any shareholder tax reporting previously issued. Moreover, a change in current tax law, or a change in the underlying business mix of a given MLP, could result in an MLP being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
which could result in a reduction of the value of the Fund’s investment in the MLP and lower income to the Fund.
Non-Investment
Grade Fixed Income Securities Risk.
Non-investment grade fixed income securities and unrated securities of comparable credit quality (commonly known as “junk bonds”) are considered speculative and are subject to increased risk of
an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payment obligations. These securities may be subject to greater price volatility due to such factors as specific corporate or municipal developments, interest rate sensitivity, negative
perceptions of the junk bond markets generally and less secondary market liquidity.
Other Investments Risk.
By investing in
pooled investment vehicles (including investment companies and ETFs), partnerships and REITs indirectly through the Fund, investors will incur a proportionate share of the expenses of the other pooled investment vehicles, partnerships and REITs held
by the Fund (including operating costs and investment management fees) in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne the Fund. In addition, the Fund will be affected by the investment policies, practices and performance of such investments in
direct proportion to the amount of assets the Fund invests therein.
REIT Risk.
REITs whose underlying properties are
concentrated in a particular industry or geographic region are subject to risks affecting such industries and regions. The securities of REITs involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to
more abrupt or erratic price movements because of interest rate changes, economic conditions and other factors. Securities of such issuers may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to effect sales at an advantageous time or without a
substantial drop in price.
Stock Risk.
Stock prices have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles. U.S.
and foreign stock markets have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the past and may do so again in the future.
The bar chart and table below provide an indication of the risks
of investing in the Fund by showing: (a) changes in the performance of the Fund’s Class A Shares from year to year; and (b) how the average annual total returns of the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional
and/or Class IR Shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. Through June 29, 2012, the Fund had been known as the Goldman Sachs Balanced Fund, and its investment objective and certain of its strategies differed.
Performance information set forth below reflects the Fund’s former investment objective and strategies prior to that date. Because the Fund invests in both equity and fixed income securities, the Fund shows its performance against both the
Russell 1000
®
Value Index (which shows how the Fund’s performance compares to an index of large cap value
equities) and the Bank of America Merrill Lynch BB to B U.S. High Yield Constrained Index (which shows how the Fund’s performance compares to an index of high yield fixed income securities). The Fund’s past performance, before and after
taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available at no cost at
www.gsamfunds.com/performance
or by calling the appropriate phone number on the back cover of the
Prospectus.
The bar chart (including “Best Quarter” and “Worst Quarter” information) does not reflect the sales loads
applicable to Class A Shares. If the sales loads were reflected, returns would be less. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown.

The after-tax returns are for Class A Shares only. The after-tax returns for Class B, Class C, Institutional and Class IR Shares will vary. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical
highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns
shown are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
