    Risk considerations and disclosures

    The Goldman Sachs MSCI World Private Equity Return Tracker ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the MSCI World Private Equity Return Tracker Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), which seeks to approximate the returns of private equity investments by replicating region, sector and style exposures through investment in publicly listed equities. THE FUND IS NOT A PRIVATE EQUITY FUND AND DOES NOT INVEST IN PRIVATE EQUITY OR PRIVATE EQUITY VEHICLES OR FUNDS. The Fund’s investments are 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, governments or countries and/or general economic conditions in the U.S. or throughout the world. Stock markets have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the past and may do so again in the future. Because the Fund may concentrate its investments in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index is concentrated, the Fund may be subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting that industry or group of industries. The Fund is not actively managed, and therefore the Fund will not generally dispose of a security unless the security is removed from the Index.

    The Index calculation methodology may rely on information based on assumptions and estimates and neither the Fund, the index provider nor the investment adviser can guarantee the accuracy of the methodology’s valuation of securities or the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index. The Index may not be effective in approximating the financial performance of private equity investments due to a number of factors, including the valuation frequency of private equity assets versus the public equity securities comprising the Index. The Index is not intended to provide exposure to the entire investment portfolio of any private equity fund manager, private equity fund or group of private equity funds or to the investment techniques or strategies employed by private equity fund managers. The Index is not intended to replicate exactly private equity performance. Private equity fund managers have greater influence over portfolio companies than managers of public equity funds, and private companies are often in different stages or situations than publicly listed companies. Performance may vary substantially from the performance of the Index as a result of transaction costs, expenses and other factors. 

    Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed by the Fund 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.

    A summary prospectus, if available, or a Prospectus for the funds containing more information may be obtained from your authorized dealer or from Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC by calling 1-800- 526-7384. Please consider a fund's objectives, risks, and charges and expenses, and read the summary prospectus, if available, and the Prospectus carefully before investing. The summary prospectus, if available, and the Prospectus contain this and other information about the funds. 

    The Fund is newly organized and has no operating history.

    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. 

    Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track its Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. Also, unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not attempt to outperform the Index that it tracks and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued.

    Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (%) 0.50%, Please note the figures shown above is the unitary management fee.
