The Fund seeks to benefit from both upward and downward price trends in the market, actively tilting the portfolio towards and away from various regions and asset classes as their prices rise or fall in value.

Diversification does not protect an investor from market risk and does not ensure a profit. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.

There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met. 3 Goldman Sachs Asset Management

Diversification does not protect an investor from market risk and does not ensure a profit. Risk Considerations The Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments. The Fund s equity 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 and/or general economic conditions. Different investment styles (e.g., growth ) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes. The Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments with a primary focus on mid-capitalization companies. The Fund s equity 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 and/or general economic conditions. The securities of mid-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. Different investment styles (e.g., growth ) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes. The Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund invests primarily in large-capitalization U.S. equity investments. The Fund s equity 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 and/or general economic conditions. Different investment styles (e.g., value ) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes. The Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund invests primarily in mid-capitalization U.S. equity investments. The Fund s equity 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 and/or general economic conditions. The securities of mid- and small-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. Different investment styles (e.g., value ) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes. The Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in companies that are organized outside the United States or whose securities are principally traded outside the United States. The Fund s equity 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 and/or general economic conditions. 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 or political developments. The Goldman Sachs Global Trends Allocation Fund seeks total return while seeking to provide volatility management. Derivative investments (including swaps) 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; risk of default by a counterparty; and liquidity risk. The Fund s use of derivatives may result in leverage, which can make the Fund more volatile. Over-the-counter transactions are subject to less government regulation and supervision. The Fund s investments in other investment companies (including exchange-traded funds (ETFs)) subject it to additional expenses. The Fund s equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of its investments may go up or down in response to numerous factors, including the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. 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. 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. High yield, lower rated investments can have greater price volatility, are less liquid and present greater risks (including risks of default) than higher rated fixed income securities. The value of the Fund s treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) generally fluctuates in response to inflationary concerns, and as inflationary concerns decrease, TIPS become less valuable. 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 currently relies on an exemption from regulation as a commodity pool operator, which if altered, could affect the operations and investment strategies of the Fund and increase its expenses. 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 or political developments. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Fund is non-diversified and may invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified funds. 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 Small Cap Equity Insights Fund invests primarily in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in small-capitalization U.S. issuers, including foreign issuers traded in the United States. The Fund s equity investments will be 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 and/or general economic conditions. The securities of mid- and small-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. The Investment Adviser s use of quantitative models to execute the Fund s investment strategy may fail to produce the intended result. Different investment styles (e.g., quantitative ) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes. 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 U.S. Equity Insights Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in U.S. issuers, including foreign issuers traded in the United States. The Fund s equity investments will be 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 and/ or general economic conditions. The Investment Adviser s use of quantitative models to execute the Fund s investment strategy may fail to produce the intended result. Different investment styles (e.g., quantitative ) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes. 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 Equity Index Fund attempts to replicate the aggregate price and yield performance of a benchmark index (i.e., the Standard & Poor s 500 Index) that measures the investment returns of large capitalization stocks. The Fund s equity 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 and/ or general economic conditions. The Fund is not actively managed, and therefore the Fund will not typically dispose of a security until the security is removed from the index. Performance may vary substantially from the performance of the benchmark it tracks as a result of share purchases and redemptions, transaction costs, expenses and other factors. The Multi-Strategy Alternatives Portfolio invests primarily in affiliated variable insurance funds and mutual funds ( underlying funds ) that provide exposure to liquid alternatives strategies and real assets. The Portfolio may also invest directly in other securities, including exchange-traded funds ( ETFs ). The Portfolio is intended for investors seeking long-term growth of capital. Through its investments in the underlying funds and ETFs, the Portfolio indirectly invest in equity securities, fixed income and/or floating rate securities, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, currencies, and restricted securities. In addition, the Portfolio and certain underlying funds may invest in derivatives including futures contracts, swaps, options, forward contracts and other instruments. 4 Goldman Sachs Asset Management

The Portfolio is subject to the risk factors of the underlying funds in direct proportion to its investments in those underlying funds, and the ability of the Portfolio to meet its investment objective is directly related to the ability of the underlying funds to meet their investment objectives, as well as the allocation among those underlying funds by the Investment Adviser. An underlying fund is subject to the risks associated with its investments, including (as applicable) those associated with equity (including master limited partnerships, real estate investment trusts and mid- and small-cap securities), fixed income (including non-investment grade securities, loans, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities), foreign and emerging countries, commodity and derivative investments generally. From time to time, the underlying funds in which the Portfolio invests, and the size of the investments in the underlying funds, is expected to change. Because the Portfolio is subject to the underlying fund expenses as well as its own expenses, the cost of investing in the Portfolio may be higher than investing in a mutual fund that only invests directly in stocks and bonds. The investment program of the Portfolio is speculative, entails substantial risks and includes investment in underlying funds that utilize alternative investment techniques not employed by traditional mutual funds. The Portfolio should not be relied upon as a complete investment program. The Portfolio s investment techniques (if they do not perform as designed) may increase the volatility of performance and the risk of investment loss, including the loss of the entire amount that is invested, and there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Portfolio will be achieved. The Goldman Sachs Strategic Income Fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. and foreign investment grade and non-investment grade fixed income investments including, but not limited to: U.S. government securities, non-u.s. sovereign debt, agency securities, corporate debt securities, agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, custodial receipts, municipal securities, loan participations and loan assignments and convertible 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 or political developments. 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. 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. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its 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 involves leverage of the Fund s assets and presents 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. The Investment Adviser will not manage the investment program of the Fund by reference to a benchmark index (i.e., unconstrained). By removing benchmark constraints, the Fund is able to invest across the global fixed income spectrum without regard to sector, quality, maturity or market capitalization limitations, including in asset classes in which more traditional or benchmark-constrained fixed income funds do not typically invest (or do not invest to such an extent). Due to this flexible strategy, the Fund s risk exposure may vary, and the Fund may underperform traditional fixed income indices. There can be no assurance that the discretionary element of the investment processes of the Investment Adviser will be exercised in a manner that is successful or that is not adverse to the Fund, or that the Fund will outperform more traditional or benchmark-constrained fixed income funds. An investment in a money market portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market portfolio seeks to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market portfolio. The VIT High Quality Floating Rate Fund invests primarily in U.S. government securities and in repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. 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. The Fund s net asset value and yield are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or by its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises. 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. Investments in mortgage-backed securities are also subject to 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). 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; the risk of default by a counterparty; and liquidity risk. The Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income Fund invests primarily in fixed income securities, including U.S. government securities, corporate debt securities, privately issued mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. 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. Investments in mortgage-backed securities are also subject to 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). 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 and political developments. 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 (i.e., the risk that an investment may not be able to be sold without a substantial drop in price, if at all).
