The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value. These returns reflect the maximum initial sales charge for Class A shares and CDSC for class B and C shares. Because Institutional, Service, Administration, Class R, CLass R6 and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. Shares of some of the funds may be subject to a redemption fee. Please refer to the shareholder guide and current prospectus for the Fund, accessible from the literature section, for additional pricing information.

The 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.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns.

*The maximum sales charge has been applied, please visit the fund facts tab in order to view sales charges for a specific asset class.

The yields represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Yields will fluctuate as market conditions change. The yield quotations more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund.

Effective as of the close of business on November 16, 2018, the International Small Cap Insights Fund is generally closed to new investors.

The investment adviser may contractually agree to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses until a specified date. The investment adviser may also voluntarily waive certain fees and expenses, and such voluntary waivers may be discontinued or modified at any time without notice. For example, during periods of low interest rates, the investment adviser may voluntarily waive certain fees and expenses in order to preserve a positive distribution yield for Fund shareholders, as determined in the sole discretion of the adviser. The performance shown above reflects any waivers or reimbursements that were in effect for all or a portion of the periods shown. When waivers or reimbursements are in place, the Fund's operating expenses are reduced and the Fund's yield and total returns to the shareholder are increased.

In order to avoid excessive fluctuations in the amount of monthly capital gains distributions, a Fund may defer or accelerate the timing of the distributions of short-term capital gains (or any portion thereof). In addition, a Fund may reduce or withhold any income and/or realized gains generated from its investments to the extent necessary to minimize principal volatility.

The calculation of the 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield is mandated by the SEC and is determined by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the period by the maximum public offering price of the Fund (“POP”) per share on the last day of the period. This number is then annualized. The 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements recorded by the Fund during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, yields would be reduced. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, may not be correlated with the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. The 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect. If the Fund does not incur any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements during the period, the 30-Day Standard Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

For Inflation Protected Securities Fund ONLY
The 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield of the Fund is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share (as defined by the SEC) earned by the Fund over a 30-day period (ending on the stated month-end date) by the maximum public offering price ("POP") per share of the Fund on the last day of the period. This number is then annualized. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, may not be correlated with the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. The Fund invests in US TIPS bonds and similar inflation protected securities, and the 30-Day Standardized Yield of the Fund, as quoted above, includes the positive or negative income effect on those bonds of changes in the rate of inflation. When inflation factors increase, we expect the Fund's 30-Day Standardized Yield to be higher than if the effects of inflation were excluded, and when the inflation factors decrease, we expect the Fund's 30-Day Standardized Yield to be lower than if the effects of inflation were excluded. Relatively small changes in the rate of inflation can have significant positive or negative impacts on the 30-Day Standardized Yield of the Fund. To the extent the Yield shown above includes the positive effect of a rise in inflation, it may not be repeated. The 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield does not reflect any applicable expense reductions.

¹GROWTH OF $10,000: A graphical measurement of a portfolio's gross return that simulates the performance of an initial investment of $10,000 over the given time period. The example provided does not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees which would reduce an investor's return. Please be advised that since this example is calculated gross of fees the compounding effect of an investment manager's fees are not taken into consideration and the deduction of such fees would have a significant impact on the returns the greater the time period and as such the value of the $10,000, if calculated on a net basis, would be significantly lower than shown in this example.

Equity funds are subject to the risk of rising and falling stock prices and have tended to be more volatile than funds that invest in fixed income securities. Bond funds fluctuate in value with changes in interest rates, and lower-rated bonds involve higher credit risk and may be speculative investments. Funds concentrated in non-US investments may be more volatile than US investments and involve special political and currency risks. A fund concentrated in an economic sector or geographical region will also be more volatile.

For some investors, income from municipal bonds may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax. Income may be subject to state and local taxes. Capital gains, if any, are federally taxable.

In an effort to distinguish funds by what they own, as well as by their prospectus objectives and styles, Morningstar developed the Morningstar Categories. While the prospectus objective identifies a fund's investment goals based on the wording in the fund prospectus, the Morningstar Category identifies funds based on their actual investment styles as measured by their underlying portfolio holdings (portfolio and other statistics over the past three years).

The performance of a new or smaller fund near its inception date may not represent how the fund will perform in the future. A new or smaller fund may buy smaller-sized bonds known as “odd lots”, which may be sold at a discount to similar “round lot” bonds, that the fund may not buy as the fund grows in size. All positions are marked at “round lot” prices in calculating NAV and performance. There is no guarantee that any fund, including a fund with high or unusual performance for one or more periods of time, will perform similarly in the future.

This material is not authorized for distribution to prospective investors unless preceded or accompanied by a current Prospectus or summary prospectus, if applicable. Investors should consider a Fund’s objective, risks, and charges and expenses, and read the summary prospectus, if available, and/or the Prospectus carefully before investing or sending money. The summary prospectus, if available, and the Prospectus contain this and other information about a Fund and may be obtained from your authorized dealer or from Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC by calling (retail—1-800-526-7384) (institutional—1-800-621-2550).
