2        SUMMARY PROSPECTUS — GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL INCOME FUND

 

EXPENSE EXAMPLE    

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

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Service 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, Service and/or Class IR Shares at the end of those periods, unless otherwise stated. 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:

 

                                       
      1 Year     3 Years     5 Years     10 Years  

Class A Shares

  $ 476      $ 713      $ 969      $ 1,700   

Class B Shares

       

— Assuming complete redemption at end of period

  $ 681      $ 883      $ 1,211      $ 2,007   

— Assuming no redemption

  $ 181      $ 583      $ 1,011      $ 2,007   

Class C Shares

       

— Assuming complete redemption at end of period

  $ 281      $ 583      $ 1,011      $ 2,203   

— Assuming no redemption

  $ 181      $ 583      $ 1,011      $ 2,203   

Institutional Shares

  $ 70      $ 244      $ 433      $ 980   

Service Shares

  $ 121      $ 401      $ 702      $ 1,558   

Class IR Shares

  $ 80      $ 273      $ 482      $ 1,086   

 

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER    

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, 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 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 March 31, 2012 was 333% of the average value of its portfolio.

 

PRINCIPAL STRATEGY    

The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) (“Net Assets”) in a portfolio of fixed income securities of U.S. and foreign issuers. Foreign securities include securities of issuers located outside the U.S. or securities quoted or denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Fund also enters into transactions in foreign currencies, typically through the use of forward contracts and swap contracts.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will:

 

¡  

Have at least 30% of its Net Assets, after considering the effect of currency positions, denominated in U.S. dollars

 

¡  

Invest in securities of issuers in at least three countries

 

¡  

Seek to meet its investment objective by pursuing investment opportunities in foreign and domestic fixed income securities markets and by engaging in currency transactions to seek to enhance returns and to seek to hedge its portfolio against currency exchange rate fluctuations

The Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of corporate and governmental issuers located in each of Canada, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom as well as in the securities of U.S. issuers. Not more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets will be invested in securities of issuers in any other single foreign country. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets (not including securities lending collateral and any investment of that collateral) measured at the time of purchase (“Total Assets”) in issuers in countries with emerging markets or economies (“emerging countries”).

The fixed income securities in which the Fund may invest include:

 

¡  

Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises (“U.S. Government Securities”) and custodial receipts therefor

 

¡  

Securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign government or any of its political subdivisions, authorities, agencies, instrumentalities or by supranational entities

 

¡  

Corporate debt securities

 

¡  

Certificates of deposit and bankers’ acceptances issued or guaranteed by, or time deposits maintained at, U.S. or foreign banks (and their branches wherever located) having total assets of more than $1 billion

 

¡  

Commercial paper

 

¡  

Privately issued adjustable rate and fixed rate mortgage loans or other mortgage-related securities (“Mortgage-Backed Securities”) and asset-backed securities

The Fund may invest in fixed income securities rated at least BBB- or Baa3 at the time of purchase, and at least 25% of the Fund’s Total Assets will be invested in fixed income securities rated at least AAA or Aaa at the time of purchase. Securities will either be rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) or, if unrated, determined by the Investment Adviser to be of comparable quality.

The Fund’s target duration range under normal interest rate conditions is that of the Barclays Global Aggregate Index (USD Hedged), plus or minus 2.5 years, and over the last ten years ended June 30, 2012, the duration of the index has ranged between 3.6 and 7 years. “Duration” is a measure of a debt security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration of the Fund (or an individual debt security), the more sensitive its market price to changes in interest rates. For example, if


 

3        SUMMARY PROSPECTUS — GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL INCOME FUND

 

market interest rates increase by 1%, the market price of a debt security with a positive duration of 3 will generally decrease by approximately 3%. Conversely, a 1% decline in market interest rates will generally result in an increase of approximately 3% of that security’s market price. Subject to the above, there are no limits on the length of remaining maturities of securities held by the Fund. The approximate interest rate sensitivity of the Fund is generally comparable to that of a 6 year bond.

THE FUND IS NON-DIVERSIFIED UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED, AND MAY INVEST MORE OF ITS ASSETS IN FEWER ISSUERS THAN DIVERSIFIED MUTUAL FUNDS.

 

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 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.

Credit/Default Risk. An issuer or guarantor of fixed income securities held by the Fund may default on its obligation to pay interest, repay principal or make a margin payment. Additionally, the credit quality of securities may deteriorate rapidly, which may impair the Fund’s liquidity and cause significant net asset value (“NAV”) deterioration.

Derivatives Risk. Loss may result from the Fund’s investments in forwards, swaps and other derivative instruments. These instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes 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 that the Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, 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 will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities.

Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Risk. Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are subject to certain additional risks, including “extension risk” ( i.e. , in periods of rising interest rates, issuers may pay principal later than expected) and “prepayment risk” ( i.e. , in periods of declining interest rates, issuers may pay principal more quickly than expected, causing the Fund to reinvest proceeds at lower prevailing interest rates). Mortgage-backed securities offered by non-governmental issuers are subject to other risks as well, including failures of private insurers to meet their obligations and unexpectedly high rates of default on the mortgages backing the securities. Other asset-backed securities are subject to risks similar to those associated with Mortgage-backed securities, as well as risks associated with the nature and servicing of the assets backing the securities. Asset-backed securities may not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral comparable to that of mortgage assets, resulting in additional credit risk.

Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it is permitted to invest more of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio, and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.

Sovereign Risk. The issuer of the non-U.S. sovereign debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay the principal or interest when due. This may result from political or social factors, the general economic environment of a country or levels of foreign debt or foreign currency exchange rates.

U.S. Government Securities Risk. The U.S. government may not provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. Government Securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and the Federal Home Loan Banks are neither issued nor guaranteed by the United States Treasury and, therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. The maximum potential liability of the issuers of some U.S. Government Securities held by the Fund may greatly exceed their current resources, including their legal right to support from the U.S. Treasury. It is possible that these issuers will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.

5        SUMMARY PROSPECTUS — GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL INCOME FUND

 

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT    

Goldman Sachs Asset Management International is the investment adviser for the Fund (the “Investment Adviser” or “GSAMI”).

Portfolio Managers : Andrew Wilson, Managing Director, Co-Head Global Fixed Income and Liquidity Management, has managed the Fund since 1995; and Iain Lindsay, Managing Director, Co-Head Global Lead Portfolio Management, has managed the Fund since 2001.

 

BUYING AND SELLING FUND SHARES    

The minimum initial investment for Class A and Class C Shares is, generally, $1,000. The minimum initial investment for Institutional Shares is, generally, $1,000,000 for individual or certain institutional investors, alone or in combination with other assets under the management of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. There is no minimum for initial purchases of Class IR Shares. Those share classes with a minimum initial investment requirement do not impose it on certain employee benefit plans, and Institutional Shares do not impose it on certain investment advisers investing on behalf of other accounts.

The minimum subsequent investment for Class A and Class C shareholders is $50, except for certain employee benefit plans, for which there is no minimum. There is no minimum subsequent investment for Institutional or Class IR shareholders.

The Fund does not impose minimum purchase requirements for initial or subsequent investments in Service Shares, although an Authorized Institution (as defined below) may impose such minimums and/or establish other requirements such as a minimum account balance.

Class B Shares are generally no longer available for purchase by current or prospective investors.

You may purchase and redeem (sell) shares of the Fund on any business day through certain brokers, investment advisers and other financial institutions (“Authorized Institutions”).

 

TAX INFORMATION    

The Fund’s distributions are taxable, and will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. Investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may become taxable upon withdrawal from such arrangements.

 

PAYMENT TO BROKER DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS    

If you purchase the Fund through an Authorized Institution, the Fund and/or its related companies may pay the Authorized Institution for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Authorized Institution and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your Authorized Institution’s website for more information.
