Fund Characteristics
1. Investment Objective
The Goldman Sachs Global Multi-Asset Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks total returns consisting predominantly of income with the potential for capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity and fixed income securities, with a focus on higher income yielding securities.
2. Investment Policy
The Portfolio will, under normal circumstances, invest at least two thirds of its net assets in equity and/or equity related Transferable Securities and fixed income Transferable Securities of issuers located anywhere in the world. The Investment Adviser will generally seek to predominantly hedge the Portfolio’s currency exposure back to the US Dollar.
The Portfolio may not invest in excess of 20% of its net assets in mortgage and asset-backed securities. The Portfolio may invest up to 10% of its net assets in Permitted Funds (as defined in the Fund's Prospectus). The Portfolio may invest up to 100% of its net assets in debt securities below Investment Grade. "Investment Grade" means, in respect of securities, securities rated at the time of investment at least BBB- by S&P or Fitch or Baa3 by Moody's, except for commercial paper which must be rated at least A-3 by S&P, F-3 by Fitch or Prime-3 by Moody's, or in the case of "unrated" securities, securities which are deemed to be of comparable credit quality by the Investment Adviser. The Portfolio may invest in debt instruments with loss-absorption features ("LAP") which may be subject to contingent write-down or contingent conversion to ordinary shares on the occurrence of trigger event(s), including but not limited to CoCos, Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital instruments and senior non-preferred debts. The Portfolio's expected total maximum investments in LAP is up to 20% of its net assets. The Portfolio may invest up to 25% of its net assets in convertible debt obligations, including up to 5% of its net assets in CoCos. The Portfolio may also use financial derivative instruments as part of its investment policy or for hedging purposes. In line with the UCITS requirements, the Portfolio will not have uncovered short positions. The Portfolio will not have directionally net short positions at Portfolio level. The long and short active currency, credit and interest rate positions implemented by the Portfolio may not be correlated with the underlying securities positions held by the Portfolio. Financial derivative instruments used may include, but are not limited to, foreign currency forward contracts, futures, options (on equity securities and markets, interest rates, credit and currencies), swaps (including equity swaps, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and total return swaps) and credit linked instruments. In exceptional and temporary circumstances (including but not limited to, sharp downturn in financial markets, political or economic crisis), the Portfolio may hold up to 100% in liquid assets (including but not limited to, deposits and Money Market Instruments), provided that the Investment Adviser considers this to be in the best interests of the shareholders of the Portfolio.

3. Type of Assets in Which Fund May Invest
The Portfolio invests across income-generating strategies including more traditional income drivers such as credit and higher dividend equities and access to non-traditional drivers such as high yield, real estate, infrastructure, emerging market debt, and covered call options.
4. Actively or Not Actively Managed Against Benchmark + Degree of Freedom from Benchmark
We do not actively manage this fund against benchmark. Therefore, the performance of the Portfolio and the Reference Portfolio/Benchmark may deviate. The Benchmark should not be relied on for comparison of the Portfolio’s performance as the Portfolio is not designed to track the Benchmark.
