The Goldman Sachs Dynamic Municipal Income Fund invests primarily in municipal securities, the interest on which is exempt from regular federal income tax. 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 risk. High yield, lower rated investments involve greater price volatility and present greater risks, including greater liquidity risk, 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. 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 Goldman Sachs High Yield Municipal Fund invests primarily in high yield municipal securities that, at the time of purchase, are medium quality or non-investment grade, the interest on which is exempt from regular federal income tax. 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. The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. High yield, lower rated investments involve greater price volatility and present greater risks, including greater liquidity risk, than higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund is subject to the risk that the liquidity of particular issuers or industries, or of all securities within a particular investment category, will shrink or disappear as a result of adverse economic, market or political events or adverse investor perception. 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 sectors or states, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse events affecting those sectors or states 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.

Effective after the close of business on June 17, 2024, the Goldman Sachs Strategic Income Fund was renamed the Goldman Sachs Dynamic Bond Fund and changed its principal investment strategy. Performance information prior to this date reflects the Fund’s former strategies.

The Goldman Sachs Dynamic Bond Fund (formerly, the Goldman Sachs Strategic Income Fund) invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. and foreign investment grade and non-investment grade bonds and other fixed income investments including, but not limited to: U.S. government securities, including agency issued adjustable rate and fixed rate mortgage-backed securities or other mortgage-related securities, non-U.S. sovereign debt, agency securities, corporate debt securities, privately issued adjustable rate and fixed rate mortgage-backed securities or other mortgage-related securities and, together with agency mortgage-backed securities, To Be Announced mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities (including collateralized loan obligations), custodial receipts, municipal securities, loan participations and loan assignments and convertible securities. The Fund may gain exposure to agency issued mortgage-backed securities through several methods, including by utilizing to-be-announced agreements in agency issued mortgage-backed securities. Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Investments in mortgage-backed securities are also subject to, among other risks, prepayment risk (i.e., the risk that in a declining interest rate environment, issuers may pay principal more quickly than expected, causing the Fund to reinvest proceeds at lower prevailing interest rates). High yield, lower rated investments involve greater price volatility, are less liquid and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic, social or political developments, including sanctions, counter-sanctions and other retaliatory actions. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the issuers of sovereign debt or the government authorities that control the payment of debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due. 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. The Fund may invest in loans directly, through loan assignments, or indirectly, by purchasing participations or sub-participations from financial institutions. Indirect purchases may subject the Fund to greater delays, expenses and risks than direct obligations in the case that a borrower fails to pay scheduled principal and interest. 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. Some floating or variable rate obligations or investments of the Fund may reference (or may have previously referenced) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). As a result of benchmark reforms, publication of most LIBOR settings has ceased with some temporary, synthetic, and non-representative settings continuing to be published until 2024. The replacement of LIBOR may affect the value, liquidity or return on certain Fund investments and may result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering new trades. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument; risks of default by a counterparty; and liquidity risk. The Fund may invest in derivatives (including foreign currency transactions) for hedging and non-hedging purposes. 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 is subject to the risks associated with implementing short positions. Taking short positions and utilizing reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage of the Fund’s assets and present various other risks. Losses on short positions are potentially unlimited as a loss occurs when the value of an asset with respect to which the Fund has a short position increases. Any guarantee on U.S. government securities applies only to the underlying securities of the Fund if held to maturity and not to the value of the Fund’s shares. The Fund’s investments in other investment companies (including ETFs) subject it to additional expenses. The Fund may have a high rate of portfolio turnover, which involves correspondingly greater expenses which must be borne by the Fund, and is also likely to result in short-term capital gains taxable to shareholders.

The Goldman Sachs Municipal Income ETF (the “Fund”) seeks a high level of current income that is exempt from regular federal 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. 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.

Effective after the close of business on February 11, 2025, the Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF was renamed the Goldman Sachs Ultra Short Bond ETF.

The Goldman Sachs Ultra Short Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide current income with preservation of capital. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund. The Fund pursues its investment objective by primarily investing in U.S. Government Securities (as defined in the Fund’s Prospectus), obligations of U.S. banks, corporate notes, commercial paper and other short-term obligations of U.S. companies, states, municipalities and other entities, fixed and floating rate mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations and repurchase agreements. The Fund is not a money market fund and does not attempt to maintain a stable net asset value. The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Any guarantee on U.S. government securities applies only to the underlying securities of the Fund if held to maturity and not to the value of the Fund’s shares. Because the Fund may invest heavily in specific sectors (for example, the financial services sector), the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting such sectors. 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. Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of adverse economic or political developments. Investments in asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk (i.e., the risk that in a declining interest rate environment the Fund’s underlying mortgages may be prepaid, causing the Fund to have to reinvest at lower interest rates). 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. 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.

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. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

There is no guarantee that objectives will be met.

Important Considerations between ETFs and mutual funds - ETFs generally have lower expenses than actively managed mutual funds due to their different management styles. Most ETFs are passively managed and are structured to track an index, whereas many mutual funds are actively managed and thus have higher management fees. In addition, unlike ETFs, actively managed mutual funds have the ability to react to market changes and the potential to outperform a stated benchmark. Since ordinary brokerage commissions apply for each ETF buy and sell transaction, frequent trading activity may increase the cost of ETFs. Furthermore, ETFs can be traded throughout the day, whereas mutual funds are traded only once a day. While extreme market conditions could result in illiquidity for ETFs, typically, some are more liquid than most traditional mutual funds because they trade on exchanges.
