Risk Considerations
The Goldman Sachs Ultra Short Municipal Income ETF (the “Fund”) seeks a high level of current income, consistent with relatively low volatility of principal, that is exempt from regular federal income tax. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in Municipal Securities (as defined in the Fund’s Prospectus), private activity bonds, and affiliated or unaffiliated investment companies. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in private activity bonds, whose income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate. The Fund may make investments that are or may become illiquid. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Fund may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in bonds of similar projects or in particular types of Municipal Securities. Because the Fund may invest heavily in investments in particular states and sectors, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse events affecting those states and sectors than if its investments were not so focused. The Fund may be adversely impacted by changes in tax rates and policies, and is not suited for IRAs or other tax-exempt or deferred accounts. The Fund’s investments are also subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions. The Fund’s investments in other investment companies (including ETFs) subject it to additional expenses. The Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than “diversified” funds. In addition, the Fund may invest in a relatively small number of issuers. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments.
The Goldman Sachs Dynamic California Municipal Income ETF (the “Fund”) seeks a high level of current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax and California personal income tax. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund. The Fund pursues its investment objective by primarily investing in Municipal Securities (as defined in the Fund’s Prospectus), private activity bonds, and affiliated or unaffiliated investment companies. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in private activity bonds, whose income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate. The Fund may invest in non-investment grade securities, which involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund may make investments that are or may become illiquid. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Fund may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in bonds of similar projects or in particular types of Municipal Securities.

Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed by the funds at their net asset value (“NAV”) only in large, specified blocks of shares called creation units. Shares otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading at market price (not NAV). Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) imposes certain limits on investment companies purchasing or acquiring any security issued by another registered investment company. For these purposes the definition of “investment company” includes funds that are unregistered because they are excepted from the definition of investment company by sections 3(c)(1) and 3(c)(7) of the Act. You should consult your legal counsel for more information.
Portfolio diversification does not protect an investor from market risk and does not ensure a profit.
