Principal Investment Strategies
The investment objective of each of the ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, ActiveBeta® Europe Equity ETF, ActiveBeta® International Equity ETF, ActiveBeta® Japan Equity ETF, ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, ActiveBeta® U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, ActiveBeta® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF and ActiveBeta® World Low Vol Plus Equity ETF (each, a “Fund”), is to seek to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its respective underlying index (each, an “Index”).
Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in securities included in its underlying index, in depositary receipts representing securities included in its underlying index and in underlying stocks in respect of depositary receipts included in its underlying index.
Each Index is designed to deliver exposure to equity securities within its applicable universe of issuers. Each Index is constructed using the patented ActiveBeta® Portfolio Construction Methodology, which was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns. These factors include value (i.e., how attractively a stock is priced relative to its “fundamentals,” such as book value and free cash flow), momentum (i.e., whether a company’s share price is trending up or down), quality (i.e., profitability) and low volatility (i.e., a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time). Given each Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track its Index, each 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.
Each Index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis in accordance with the published rebalancing schedule of the applicable Reference Index. The rules-based process used to construct each Index incorporates the ActiveBeta® Turnover Minimization Technique, which seeks to reduce turnover within each Index.
For the ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, ActiveBeta® Europe Equity ETF, ActiveBeta® International Equity ETF, ActiveBeta® Japan Equity ETF, ActiveBeta® U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF and ActiveBeta® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Index Provider”) constructs each respective Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology that involves two steps.
Step 1
In the first step, individual factor subindexes for value, momentum, quality and low volatility (the “ActiveBeta® Factor Subindexes”) are created from the constituents of the applicable Reference Index, a market capitalization-weighted index. To construct each ActiveBeta® Factor Subindex, all constituents in the applicable Reference Index are assigned a “factor score” based on certain specified measurements (for example, in the case of the value factor, the factor score is based on a composite of book value-to-price, sales-to-price and free cash flow-to-price). Securities with a factor score that is above a fixed “Cut-off Score” receive an overweight in the applicable ActiveBeta® Factor Subindex relative to the applicable Reference Index and securities with a factor score that is below the Cut-off Score receive an underweight in the ActiveBeta® Factor Subindex relative to the applicable Reference Index. Accordingly, the magnitude of overweight or underweight that a security receives in constructing the applicable ActiveBeta® Factor Subindex is determined by its attractiveness when evaluated based on the relevant factor. Each Index only includes long positions (i.e., short positions are impermissible), so the smallest weight for any given security is zero.
Step 2
The ActiveBeta® Factor Subindexes are combined in equal weights to form each Index.
Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF
For the ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, the Index aims to meet the minimum requirements to be an “EU Paris-Aligned Benchmark” as defined by the European Commission Delegated Regulation C(2020)4757. An “EU Paris-Aligned Benchmark” is an index whose constituent companies are aligned with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, an international treaty that seeks to combat climate change and its effects. The Index Provider constructs the Fund’s Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology that involves three steps.
1
INVESTMENT PROCESS
Step 1
In the first step, the following types of issuers are excluded from the constituents of the Solactive US Large Cap Index (the “Reference Index”) per the requirements for an “EU Paris-Aligned Benchmark”: companies involved with controversial weapons or tobacco, companies that violate global norms as indicated by violations of the United Nations Global Compact principles or the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and companies that derive more than 50% of revenue from fossil fuel activities or engage in activities that significantly obstruct the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals that correspond to the EU’s six environmental objectives.
In addition, issuers who derive significant revenue from the following activities are excluded (revenue percentages are shown in parentheses): exploration, mining, extraction, distribution or refining of hard coal and lignite (≥ 1%); exploration, extraction, distribution or refining of oil fuels (≥ 10%); exploration, extraction, manufacturing or distribution of gaseous fuels (≥ 50%); and electricity generation with a greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of more than 100g CO2e/kWh (≥ 50%).
Step 2
In the second step, the ActiveBeta® Factor Subindexes are created from the Reference Index, a market capitalization-weighted index. To construct each ActiveBeta® Factor Subindex, all non-excluded constituents in the Reference Index are assigned a “factor score” based on certain specified measurements (for example, in the case of the value factor, the factor score is based on a composite of book value-to-price, sales-to-price and free cash flow-to-price). Securities with a factor score that is above a fixed “Cut-off Score” receive an overweight in the applicable ActiveBeta® Factor Subindex relative to the Reference Index and securities with a factor score that is below the Cut-off Score receive an underweight in the ActiveBeta® Factor Subindex relative to the Reference Index. Accordingly, the magnitude of overweight or underweight that a security receives in constructing the applicable ActiveBeta® Factor Subindex is determined by its attractiveness when evaluated based on the relevant factor. The ActiveBeta® Factor Subindexes are combined in equal weights to form the Factor Diversity Portfolio.
Step 3
In the third step, the weights of the individual issuers in the Factor Diversity Portfolio are adjusted upwards and downwards to target the following requirements: a 50-percent reduction in aggregate GHG emissions intensity relative to the Reference Index, where an issuer’s emission intensity is defined as the sum of the issuer’s direct and indirect emissions divided by the issuer’s enterprise value including cash; an inflation-adjusted seven-percent annualized reduction in absolute GHG emissions intensity; non-negative exposure to high carbon impact sectors relative to the Reference Index; and exposure to each of the four factors (value, momentum, quality, and low volatility) that are no lower than the corresponding factor exposures for the Factor Diversity Portfolio. The resulting Index only includes long positions (i.e., short positions are impermissible), so the smallest weight for any given security is zero.
Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® World Low Vol Plus Equity ETF
For the ActiveBeta® World Low Vol Plus Equity ETF, the Index seeks to provide exposure to these factors with an emphasis on the low volatility factor. The Index Provider constructs the Fund’s Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology that involves three steps.
Step 1
In the first step, the individual factor subindex for low volatility (the “ActiveBeta® Low Volatility Factor Subindex”) is created from the constituents of the Solactive GBS Developed Markets Large & Mid Cap Index (the “Reference Index”), a market capitalization-weighted index. To construct the ActiveBeta® Low Volatility Factor Subindex, an equal-weighted index is constructed by equally weighting stocks within sectors by country (e.g. U.S. Financials). The weight of a stock in the reweighted Reference Index is the average of its weight in the Reference Index and its weight in the equal-weighted index. Each constituent is then assigned a “factor score” based on a specified volatility measurement that is a function of the volatility in the daily total stock returns over the past 12 months. Securities with a factor score that is above a fixed “Cut-off Score” receive an overweight in the ActiveBeta® Low Volatility Factor Subindex relative to the reweighted Reference Index and securities with a factor score that is below the Cut-off Score receive an underweight in the ActiveBeta® Low Volatility Factor Subindex relative to the reweighted

INVESTMENT PROCESS
Reference Index. Accordingly, the magnitude of overweight or underweight that a security receives in constructing the ActiveBeta® Low Volatility Factor Subindex is determined by the performance of its factor score relative to the fixed “Cut-off Score.” The Index includes only long positions (i.e., short positions are impermissible), so the smallest weight for any given security is zero.
Step 2
In the second step, individual factor subindexes for value, momentum and quality (the “ActiveBeta® Value Factor Subindex, ActiveBeta® Momentum Factor Subindex and ActiveBeta® Quality Factor Subindex,” respectively) are created from the constituents of the ActiveBeta® Low Volatility Factor Subindex. To construct each of these subindexes, all constituents in the ActiveBeta® Low Volatility Factor Subindex are assigned a “factor score” based on certain specified measurements (i.e., in the case of the value factor, the factor score is based on a composite of book value-to-price, sales-to-price and free cash flow-to-price). Securities with a factor score that is above a fixed “Cut-off Score” receive an overweight in the applicable ActiveBeta® Factor Subindex relative to the ActiveBeta® Low Volatility Factor Subindex and securities with a factor score that is below the Cut-off Score receive an underweight the applicable ActiveBeta® Factor Subindex relative to the Active- Beta® Low Volatility Factor Subindex.
Step 3
In the third step, the ActiveBeta® Value Factor Subindex, ActiveBeta® Momentum Factor Subindex, and ActiveBeta® Quality Factor Subindex are combined in equal weights to form the Index.
* * *
At the end of the Reporting Period, i.e. the 12 months ended August 31, 2022, we continued to believe in the existence and persistence of certain equity common factors. We further believed that in capturing common factors, investment efficiency (risk-adjusted returns) can be improved by enhancing the informational efficiency and diversification of individual common factor portfolios. Additionally, we advocate the pursuit of factor diversification strategies, which combine individual common factor portfolios, as such strategies tend to dominate individual factors. A passive capture of informationally-efficient and diversified common factor strategies potentially delivers attractive after-cost information ratios.

Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF
Investment Objective
The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity Index (the “Index”).
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned -21.97% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and -22.65% based on market price. The Index returned -21.84%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, Unhedged) (“MSCI Emerging Markets Index”), a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, and the reference index for the Index, returned -21.80% during the same period. |
The Fund had an NAV of $39.33 per share on August 31, 2021 and ended the Reporting Period with an NAV of $29.42 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2022 was $29.03 per share. |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns. |
The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns, and its performance is compared to that of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Because the Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index, the discussion below compares the performance of the Fund to that of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the 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. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. |
During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted double-digit negative absolute returns that closely tracked the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, as measured by NAV. Amongst underlying factors, Low Volatility contributed most positively to relative results, followed by Momentum. Quality detracted most from results during the Reporting Period, followed by Value. Low Volatility is a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time. Momentum is whether a company’s share price is trending up or down. Quality refers to sustainable profitability over time. Value refers to how attractively a stock is priced relative to its fundamentals, such as book value and free cash flow. |
Q | Which sectors and countries contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most? |
A | Index constituents in the communication services, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period. Index constituents in the financials, industrials and real estate sectors detracted most from the Index’s results relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
From a country perspective, Index constituents in China, Russia and Qatar contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period. Conversely, Index constituents in India, Saudi Arabia and Thailand detracted the most from the Index’s results relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | Relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, underweight positions in Russian energy companies Gazprom and Lukoil and in Chinese e-commerce retailer Alibaba Group Holding contributed most positively (0.50%, 0.42% and 2.22% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). Each produced a double-digit negative return within the Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | Which individual stock positions detracted the most from the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | Relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, underweight positions in Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries and Indian bank ICICI Bank and an overweight position in South Korean consumer goods company LG Household and Health Care detracted most (0.94%, 0.48% and 0.00%1 of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). Reliance Industries and ICICI Bank each posted a positive return within the Index during the Reporting Period, and LG Household and Health Care delivered a double-digit negative return within the Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it did use index futures to equitize excess cash. The use of futures was not material to the performance of the Fund during the Reporting Period. |
Q | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index and the reference index at the end of the Reporting Period?2 |

Performance Summary
August 31, 2022
The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2022, of a $10,000 investment made on September 25, 2015 (commencement of operations) in Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s underlying index and a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, Unhedged), respectively, are shown. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. In addition to the performance of constituents of the underlying index, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and creation and redemption in-kind transactions. The returns set forth below represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s NAV and investment return may fluctuate. These fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares to be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted below.

The Total Returns based on NAV and Market Price assume the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares, which if included would lower the performance shown above. The NAV used in the Total Return calculation assumes all management fees and operating expenses incurred by the Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the last trade as of 4:00pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The first day of secondary market trading is typically several days after the date on which the Fund commenced investment operations; therefore, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the period from inception of investment operations to the first day of secondary market trading to calculate the Market Price returns. |

Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Europe Equity ETF
Investment Objective
The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Europe Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Europe Equity Index (the “Index”).
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned -24.81% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and -25.51% based on market price. The Index returned -24.61%, and the MSCI Europe Index (Net, Unhedged) (“MSCI Europe Index”), a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, and the reference index for the Index, returned -21.57% during the same period. |
The Fund had an NAV of $37.99 per share on August 31, 2021 and ended the Reporting Period with an NAV of $27.47 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2022 was $27.26 per share. |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns. |
The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns, and its performance is compared to that of the MSCI Europe Index. Because the Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index, the discussion below compares the performance of the Fund to that of the MSCI Europe Index. Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the 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. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the MSCI Europe Index. |
During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted double-digit negative absolute returns that underperformed the MSCI Europe Index, as measured by NAV. Amongst underlying factors, Quality detracted most from relative results during the Reporting Period, followed by Momentum and Low Volatility. Value contributed positively to relative results during the Reporting Period. Quality refers to sustainable profitability over time. Momentum is whether a company’s share price is trending up or down. Low Volatility is a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time. Value refers to how attractively a stock is priced relative to its fundamentals, such as book value and free cash flow. |

Performance Summary
August 31, 2022
The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2022, of a $10,000 investment made on March 2, 2016 (commencement of operations) in Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s underlying index and a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Europe Equity Index and the MSCI Europe Index (Net, Unhedged), respectively, are shown. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. In addition to the performance of constituents of the underlying index, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and creation and redemption in-kind transactions. The returns set forth below represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s NAV and investment return may fluctuate. These fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares to be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted below.

Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® International Equity ETF
Investment Objective
The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® International Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® International Equity Index (the “Index”).
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned -20.18% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and -20.53% based on market price. The Index returned -20.11%, and the MSCI World ex USA Index (Net, Unhedged, USD) (“MSCI World ex USA Index”), a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, and the reference index for the Index, returned -18.56% during the same period. |
The Fund had an NAV of $35.76 per share on August 31, 2021 and ended the Reporting Period with an NAV of $27.64 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2021 was $27.52 per share. |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns. |
The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns, and its performance is compared to that of the MSCI World ex USA Index. Because the Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index, the discussion below compares the performance of the Fund to that of the MSCI World ex USA Index. Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the 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. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the MSCI World ex USA Index. |
During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted double-digit negative absolute returns that underperformed the MSCI World ex USA Index, as measured by NAV. Amongst underlying factors, Quality detracted most from relative results during the Reporting Period, followed by Momentum. Value and Low Volatility contributed positively to relative results. Quality refers to sustainable profitability over time. Momentum is whether a company’s share price is trending up or down. Value refers to how attractively a stock is priced relative to its fundamentals, such as book value and free cash flow. Low Volatility is a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time. |
Q | Which sectors and countries contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most? |
A | Index constituents in the financials, health care and energy sectors detracted the most from the Index’s results relative to the MSCI World ex USA Index during the Reporting Period. Index constituents in the information technology, communication services and real estate sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the MSCI World ex USA Index during the Reporting Period. |
From a country perspective, Index constituents in the U.K., Germany and Japan detracted the most from the Fund’s results relative to the MSCI World ex USA Index during the Reporting Period. Conversely, Index constituents in Canada, the Netherlands and Singapore contributed most positively to |

the Fund’s results relative to the MSCI World ex USA Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | Which individual stock positions detracted the most from the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | Relative to the MSCI World ex USA Index, overweight positions in German meal-kit provider HelloFresh and German shoe and fashion e-commerce retailer Zalando and an underweight position in U.K. financial services holding company HSBC Holdings detracted most (0.16%, 0.14% and 0.36% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). HelloFresh and Zalando each posted a double-digit negative return within the Index during the Reporting Period, while HSBC Holdings generated a double-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | Relative to the MSCI World ex USA Index, underweight positions in Canadian e-commerce company Shopify and Singapore-based digital entertainment, e-commerce and digital financial service business Sea and an overweight position in Canadian supermarket retailer Loblaw contributed most positively (0.00%,1 0.00% and 0.00% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). Shopify and Sea each generated a double-digit negative return within the Index during the Reporting Period, and Loblaw posted a double-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it did use index futures to equitize excess cash. The use of futures was not material to the performance of the Fund during the Reporting Period. |

The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns. |
The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns, and its performance is compared to that of the MSCI Japan Index. Because the Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index, the discussion below compares the performance of the Fund to that of the MSCI Japan Index. Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the 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. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the MSCI Japan Index. |
During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted double-digit negative absolute returns that closely tracked the MSCI Japan Index, as measured by NAV. Amongst underlying factors, Value and Momentum contributed positively to results relative to the MSCI Japan Index. Quality detracted most from results relative to the MSCI Japan Index, followed by Low Volatility. Value refers to how attractively a stock is priced relative to its fundamentals, such as book value and free cash flow. Momentum is whether a company’s share price is trending up or down. Quality refers to sustainable profitability over time. Low Volatility is a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time. |
Q | Which sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most? |
A | Index constituents in the industrials, energy and information technology sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the MSCI Japan Index during the Reporting Period. Conversely, Index constituents in the consumer discretionary, utilities and consumer staples sectors detracted most from results relative to the MSCI Japan Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A |
Relative to the MSCI Japan Index, overweight positions in integrated trading and investment company Marubeni, energy company Inpex and auto manufacturer Mazda Motor |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
contributed most positively (1.19%, 1.13% and 0.30% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). Marubeni and Inpex each posted a double-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period, and Mazda Motor generated a single-digit positive return within the Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | Which individual stock positions detracted the most from the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | Relative to the MSCI Japan Index, overweight positions in real estate business Iida Group Holdings and home appliance retailer Yamada Holdings and an underweight position in pharmaceutical company Daiichi Sankyo detracted most (0.08%, 0.00%1 and 1.38% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). Iida Group Holdings and Yamada Holdings each posted a double-digit negative return within the Index during the Reporting Period. Daiichi Sankyo delivered a double-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it did use index futures to equitize excess cash. The use of futures was not material to the performance of the Fund during the Reporting Period. |
Q | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index and the reference index at the end of the Reporting Period?2 |

Performance Summary
August 31, 2022
The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2022, of a $10,000 investment made on March 2, 2016 (commencement of operations) in Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s underlying index and a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Japan Index and the MSCI Japan Index (Unhedged), respectively, are shown. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. In addition to the performance of constituents of the underlying index, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and creation and redemption in-kind transactions. The returns set forth below represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s NAV and investment return may fluctuate. These fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares to be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted below.

Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF
Investment Objective
The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned U.S. Large Cap Equity Index (the “Index”).
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the for the period since its inception on December 13, 2021 through August 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned -17.52% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and -17.39% based on market price. The Index returned -17.46%, and the Solactive US Large Cap Index (“Solactive Index”), a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, and the reference index for the Index, returned -16.46% during the same period. |
The Fund had an NAV of $39.67 on December 13, 2021 and ended the Reporting Period with an NAV of $32.50 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2022 was $32.55 per share. |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns. |
The Index is designed to deliver exposure to equity securities of large capitalization U.S. issuers. The Index is constructed using the patented ActiveBeta® Portfolio Construction Methodology, which was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns. These factors include Value (i.e., how attractively a stock is priced relative to its “fundamentals,” such as book value and free cash flow), Momentum (i.e., whether a company’s share price is trending up or down), Quality (i.e., profitability) and Low Volatility (i.e., a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time). 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. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the Solactive Index. |
The Index aims to meet the minimum requirements to be an “EU Paris-Aligned Benchmark” as defined by the European Commission Delegated Regulation C(2020)4757. An “EU Paris-Aligned Benchmark” is an index whose constituent companies are aligned with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, an international treaty that seeks to combat climate change and its effects. |
During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted double-digit negative absolute returns that underperformed the Solactive Index, as measured by NAV. Amongst underlying factors, Low Volatility detracted most from results relative to the Solactive Index, followed by Momentum and Value. Quality contributed positively to results relative to the Solactive Index. |
Q | Which sectors and countries contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most? |
A |
Having no exposure to the energy sector detracted most from the Index’s results relative to the Solactive Index during the Reporting Period. Index constituents in the utilities, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors also detracted from the Index’s results relative to the Solactive Index during the Reporting Period. Conversely, Index constituents in the |

information technology, communication services and health care sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the Solactive Index during the Reporting Period. |
From a country perspective, Index constituents in the U.S. detracted most from the Fund’s results relative to the Solactive Index during the Reporting Period, followed at some distance by Index constituents in Curacao and Switzerland. Index constituents in Panama, Liberia and Bermuda contributed most positively to the Fund’s results relative to the Solactive Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | Which individual stock positions detracted the most from the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | Relative to the Solactive Index, having no exposure to integrated energy companies Exxon Mobil and Chevron and an underweight position in e-commerce retailer behemoth Amazon.com detracted most (0.00%1, 0.00% and 0.00% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). Each of these holdings posted a return during the Reporting Period that outperformed the Solactive Index. |
Q | Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | Relative to the Solactive Index, underweight positions in entertainment content streaming company Netflix and payment transactions company PayPal Holdings and an overweight position in consumer staples company Hershey contributed most positively (0.03%, 0.23% and 0.48% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). Netflix and PayPal Holdings each generated a double-digit negative return within the Index during the Reporting Period. Hershey delivered a double-digit positive return within the Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it did use index futures to equitize excess cash. The use of futures was not material to the performance of the Fund during the Reporting Period. |

Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF
Investment Objective
The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® U.S. Large Cap Equity Index (the “Index”).
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned -12.70% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and -12.70% based on market price. The Index returned -12.64%, and the S&P 500 Index (Total Return, USD) (“S&P 500 Index”), a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, returned -11.23% during the same period. |
The Fund had an NAV of $90.95 on August 31, 2021 and ended the Reporting Period with an NAV of $78.36 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2022 was $78.33 per share. |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns. |
The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns, and its performance is compared to that of the S&P 500 Index. Because the Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index, the discussion below compares the performance of the Fund to that of the S&P 500 Index. Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the 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. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the S&P 500 Index. |
During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted double-digit negative absolute returns that underperformed the S&P 500 Index, as measured by NAV. Amongst underlying factors, Quality detracted most from relative returns, followed by Value. Momentum and Low Volatility contributed positively to relative returns. Quality refers to sustainable profitability over time. Value refers to how attractively a stock is priced relative to its fundamentals, such as book value and free cash flow. Momentum is whether a company’s share price is trending up or down. Low Volatility is a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time. |
Q | Which sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most? |
A | Index constituents in the energy, information technology and financials sectors detracted most from the Index’s results relative to the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period. Partially offsetting these detractors were Index constituents in consumer staples, communication services and industrials, which contributed positively to the Index’s results relative to the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | Which individual stock positions detracted the most from the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | Relative to the S&P 500 Index, underweight positions in integrated energy companies Exxon Mobil and Chevron and in electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla detracted most (0.76%, 0.45% and 1.46% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). Each generated a double-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | Relative to the S&P 500 Index, underweight positions in payment transactions company PayPal Holdings and entertainment content streaming company Netflix and an overweight position in auto parts retailer AutoZone contributed most positively (0.16%, 0.08% and 0.61% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). PayPal Holdings and Netflix each posted a double-digit negative return within the Index during the Reporting Period, while AutoZone generated a double-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it did use index futures to equitize excess cash. The use of futures was not material to the performance of the Fund during the Reporting Period. |

ACTIVEBETA® U.S. LARGE CAP EQUITY ETF
Performance Summary
August 31, 2022
The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2022, of a $10,000 investment made on September 17, 2015 (commencement of operations) in Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s underlying index and a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® U.S. Large Cap Equity Index and the S&P 500 Index (Total Return, USD), respectively, are shown. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. In addition to the performance of constituents of the underlying index, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and creation and redemption in-kind transactions. The returns set forth below represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s NAV and investment return may fluctuate. These fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares to be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted below.

The Total Returns based on NAV and Market Price assume the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares, which if included would lower the performance shown above. The NAV used in the Total Return calculation assumes all management fees incurred by the Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the last trade as of 4:00pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The first day of secondary market trading is typically several days after the date on which the Fund commenced investment operations; therefore, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the period from inception of investment operations to the first day of secondary market trading to calculate the Market Price returns. |

Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF
Investment Objective
The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® U.S. Small Cap Equity Index (the “Index”).
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned -12.95% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and -12.83% based on market price. The Index returned -12.77%, and the Russell 2000® Index, a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, and the reference index for the Index, returned -17.88% during the same period. |
The Fund had an NAV of $64.97 on August 31, 2021 and ended the Reporting Period with an NAV of $55.87 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2022 was $55.92 per share. |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns. |
The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns, and its performance is compared to that of the Russell 2000® Index. Because the Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index, the discussion below compares the performance of the Fund to that of the Russell 2000® Index. Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the 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. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the Russell 2000® Index. |
During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted double-digit negative absolute returns but outperformed the Russell 2000® Index, as measured by NAV. All four underlying factors contributed positively to relative returns, led by Value and then followed by Low Volatility, Momentum and Quality. Value refers to how attractively a stock is priced relative to its fundamentals, such as book value and free cash flow. Low Volatility is a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time. Momentum is whether a company’s share price is trending up or down. Quality refers to sustainable profitability over time. |
Q | Which sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most? |
A | Index constituents in the health care, information technology and financials sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the Russell 2000® Index during the Reporting Period. Partially offsetting these positive contributors were Index constituents in energy and real estate — the only two sectors to detract from the Index’s results relative to the Russell 2000® Index during the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | Relative to the Russell 2000® Index, underweight positions in movie theater operator AMC Entertainment Holdings and medical genetic testing company Invitae and an overweight position in fiber optic management, protection and delivery products for communications networks manufacturer and distributor Clearfield contributed most positively (0.00%1, 0.00% and 0.28% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). AMC Entertainment Holdings and Invitae each posted a double-digit negative return within the Index during the Reporting Period. Clearfield generated a triple-digit positive return within the Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | Which individual stock positions detracted the most from the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | Relative to the Russell 2000® Index, overweight positions in cloud-based real estate brokerage services provider eXp World Holdings and chiropractic clinics franchisor Joint and an underweight position in clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company Karuna Therapeutics detracted most (0.19%, 0.00%1 and 0.07% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). eXp World Holdings and Joint each posted a double-digit negative return within the Index during the Reporting Period. Karuna Therapeutics generated a triple-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it did use index futures to equitize excess cash. The use of futures was not material to the performance of the Fund during the Reporting Period. |
Q | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index and the Russell 2000® Index at the end of the Reporting Period?2 |

Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® World Low Vol Plus Equity ETF
Investment Objective
The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® World Low Vol Plus Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® World Low Vol Plus Equity Index (the “Index”).
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the for the period since its inception on March 15, 2022 through August 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned -5.65% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and -5.63% based on market price. The Index returned -5.79% during the same period. |
The Fund had an NAV of $40.57 on March 15, 2022 and ended the Reporting Period with an NAV of $37.97 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2022 was $37.98 per share. |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns. |
The Index is designed to deliver exposure to large and mid-capitalization equity securities of developed market issuers, including the United States. The Index is constructed using the patented ActiveBeta® Portfolio Construction Methodology, which was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns. These factors include Low Volatility (i.e., a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time), Value (i.e., how attractively a stock is priced relative to its “fundamentals,” such as book value and free cash flow), Momentum (i.e., whether a company’s share price is trending up or down), and Quality (i.e., profitability). The Index seeks to provide exposure to these factors with an emphasis on the low volatility factor. 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. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the Solactive Index. |
During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted negative absolute returns but outperformed the Solactive Index, as measured by NAV. Amongst underlying factors, Momentum and Low Volatility contributed positively to relative returns. Value and Quality detracted from relative returns. |
Q | Which sectors and countries contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most? |
A | Index constituents in the industrials, information technology and communication services sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the Solactive Index during the Reporting Period. Index constituents in the energy sector detracted most from the Index’s results relative to the Solactive Index, followed at some distance by Index constituents in the real estate and health care sectors. |
From a country perspective, Index constituents in the U.S. contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the Solactive Index during the Reporting Period, followed at some distance by Index constituents in Germany and Israel. Index constituents in the U.K., Belgium and Italy detracted most from the Index’s results relative to the Solactive Index during the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | Relative to the Solactive Index, an underweight position in semiconductor company NVIDIA and overweight positions in auto parts retailers Genuine Parts and AutoZone contributed most positively (0.19%, 0.80% and 1.25% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). NVIDIA posted a double-digit negative return within the Index during the Reporting Period. Genuine Parts and AutoZone each generated a double-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | Which individual stock positions detracted the most from the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | Relative to the Solactive Index, underweight positions in information technology giant Apple and integrated energy company Exxon Mobil and having no exposure to electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla detracted most (2.97%, 0.40% and 0.00%1 of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). Each of these holdings posted a gain within the Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it did use index futures to equitize excess cash. The use of futures was not material to the performance of the Fund during the Reporting Period. |

2 | Country classifications for securities may differ between the above listing and the Schedule of Investments due to differing classification methodologies. The classification methodology used for the above listing is as set forth by Solactive Investments. The Fund’s composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from percentages contained in the chart above. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investment in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Underlying sector allocation of exchange-traded funds held by the Fund are not reflected in the chart above. Figures above may not sum to 100% due to rounding due to the presence of cash. |

1 | The Market Price is the price at which the Fund’s shares are trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. The Market Price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate and, at the time of sale, shares may be worth more or less than the original investment or the Fund’s then current net asset value (“NAV”). The NAV is the market value of one share of the Fund. This amount is derived by dividing the total value of all the securities in the Fund’s portfolio, plus other assets, less any liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed by the Fund at their 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. Information regarding how often shares of each Fund traded on NYSE Arca at a price above (i.e., at a premium) or below (i.e., at a discount) the NAV of the Fund can be found at www.GSAMFUNDS.com/ETFs. |

Performance Summary
August 31, 2022
Average Annual Total Return through August 31, 2022* | Since Inception | |
Shares based on NAV (Commenced March 15, 2022) |
-5.65% | |
| ||
Shares based on Market Price (Commenced March 15, 2022) |
-5.63% | |
|
* | Total returns are calculated assuming purchase of a share at the market price or NAV on the first day and sale of a share at the market price or NAV on the last day of each period reported. The Total Returns based on NAV and Market Price assume the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares, which if included would lower the performance shown above. The NAV used in the Total Return calculation assumes all management fees incurred by the Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the last trade as of 4:00pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The first day of secondary market trading is typically several days after the date on which the Fund commenced investment operations; therefore, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the period from inception of investment operations to the first day of secondary market trading to calculate the Market Price returns. |

1. ORGANIZATION |
Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), consisting of multiple series. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2009. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”) along with their respective diversification status under the Act:
Fund | Diversification Classification | |||

The investment objective of each Fund is to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its respective Index.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to management agreements (each, an “Agreement” and together, the “Agreements”) with the Trust. Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”), except for ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF and ActiveBeta® World Low Vol Plus Equity ETF, which are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. Market prices for the Funds’ shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem shares at their respective NAV only in blocks of a specified number of shares, or multiples thereof, referred to as “Creation Units”. Creation Units are issued and redeemed generally for a designated portfolio of securities (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) and a specified amount of cash. Shares generally trade in the secondary market in quantities less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Only those that have entered into an authorized participant agreement with ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) may do business directly with the Funds.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Each Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily NAV calculations. Investment income is recorded net of any

foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. These reclaims, if any, are recorded when the amount is known and there are no significant uncertainties on collectability. Such amounts recovered, if any, are reflected as other income in the Statements of Operations. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain and/or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
For derivative contracts, unrealized gains and losses are recorded daily and become realized gains and losses upon disposition or termination of the contract.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred directly by a Fund are charged to the Fund, and certain expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis, depending upon the nature of the expenses, and are accrued daily.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. For each Fund, income distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of a Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
123
GOLDMAN SACHS ACTIVEBETA® ETFS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2022
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. With respect to the Funds’ investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Valuation Designee”). GSAM has day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities will be valued at the valid closing bid price for long positions and at the valid closing ask price for short positions (i.e. where there is sufficient volume, during normal exchange trading hours). If no valid bid/ask price is available, the equity security will be valued pursuant to the Valuation Procedures and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price for long positions or the last ask price for short positions, and are generally classified as Level 2.
Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Funds invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. Underlying Funds are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent that underlying ETFs are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. A Fund enters into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either due to broker/receivable for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.
Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are
124
GOLDMAN SACHS ACTIVEBETA® ETFS
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
used, the selection of a particular model to value OTC and centrally cleared derivatives depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.
Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under the Valuation Procedures. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments.
C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2022:

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS |
A. Management Agreement — Under the Agreements, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.
As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreements, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
For each Fund except the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, the Funds operate under a unitary management fee structure. Under the unitary fee structure, GSAM is responsible for paying substantially all the expenses of each such Fund, excluding payments under the Fund’s 12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees, costs of holding shareholder meetings and litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. As the Funds directly pay fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, the management fee collected by GSAM will be reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Funds to the independent Trustees.

B. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitation as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF is 0.05%. This Other Expense limitation will remain in effect permanently and GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Trustees.
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, these expense reimbursements amounted to $701,206.
6. CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS |
The Trust issues and redeems shares of the Funds only in Creation Units on a continuous basis through the Distributor, without an initial sales load, at NAV next determined after receipt, on any Business Day (as defined in the Statement of Additional Information), of an order in proper form. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (each an “Authorized Participant”). An Authorized Participant is either (1) a “Participating Party” or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation; or (2) a Depository Trust Company participant; which, in either case, must have executed an agreement with the Distributor. Retail investors will typically not qualify as an Authorized Participant or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market at market prices with the assistance of a broker and may be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Fixed creation and redemption transaction fees are imposed in connection with creations and redemptions.
Authorized Participants transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay a variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (e.g. taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact

expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from sale of shares” in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

8. SECURITIES LENDING |
The Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statements of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2022
8. SECURITIES LENDING (continued) |
The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.
In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Funds’ master netting agreements with certain borrowers provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of set-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The Funds’ loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of August 31, 2022, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Both the Funds and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains/(losses) on regulated futures, differences in the tax treatment of partnership investments, and passive foreign investment company investments.
In order to present components of the Funds’ capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Funds’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and result primarily from redemption in-kind transactions.

GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
10. OTHER RISKS |
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment
136
GOLDMAN SACHS ACTIVEBETA® ETFS
10. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation; less public information; less stringent investor protections; less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards; and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is impossible to predict. For example, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent a Fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions, and significantly impact a Fund’s liquidity and performance. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which a Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that a Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in, or economically tied to, emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund invests in foreign securities, and as such the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to even greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are very often undeveloped and may be considerably less well regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.
Index Risk — GSAM (the “Index Provider”) constructs each Fund’s index (an “Index”) in accordance with a rules-based methodology. A Fund will be negatively affected by general declines in the securities and asset classes represented in its Index. In addition, because the Funds are not “actively” managed, unless a specific security is removed from an Index, a Fund generally would not sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble. Market disruptions and regulatory restrictions could have an adverse effect on a Fund’s ability to adjust its exposure to the required levels in order to track the Index. A Fund also does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including declining markets. Therefore, a Fund’s performance could be lower than funds that may actively shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or to lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value of one or more issuers. The Index Provider relies on third party data it believes to be reliable in constructing each Index, but it does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of such third party data. Errors in index data, index computation or the construction of an Index in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the Index Provider for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the applicable Fund and its shareholders. In addition, neither a Fund, the Investment Adviser, the Calculation Agent nor the Index Provider can guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index. Furthermore, the index providers for the reference indices upon which the Funds’ Indexes are based may delay or change a scheduled rebalancing or reconstitution of an index or the implementation of certain rules at their sole discretion. In such circumstances, a Fund, in replicating the composition of an index, may have more or less exposure to a particular sector or individual company than had the index been constructed in accordance with its stated methodology.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2022
10. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an ETF, a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). The value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments.
Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Market Trading Risk — Each Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for Shares. If a shareholder purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells Shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. The Investment Adviser cannot predict whether Shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the securities of a Fund’s Index trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time.
Tracking Error Risk — Tracking error is the divergence of a Fund’s performance from that of its Index. The performance of a Fund may diverge from that of its Index for a number of reasons. Tracking error may occur because of transaction costs, a Fund’s holding of cash, differences in accrual of dividends, changes to its Index or the need to meet new or existing regulatory requirements. Unlike a Fund, the returns of an Index are not reduced by investment and other operating expenses, including the trading costs associated with implementing changes to its portfolio of investments. Tracking error risk may be heightened during times of market volatility or other unusual market conditions.
11. INDEMNIFICATIONS |
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
12. OTHER MATTERS |
In late February 2022, Russia began an invasion of Ukraine. Following such invasion, the United States, the European Union, and other countries and entities imposed wide-ranging sanctions on Russia and related entities. The ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF has limited market value in Russian and Ukrainian securities, which are being valued to reflect the limited liquidity and transferability in the current environment. With the closure of local Russian markets and imposition of sanctions in late February and early March, there are currently limited portfolio management actions possible as many of these assets are either sanctioned and/or cannot be transferred or settled. These sanctions and the current environment could impair the ability of the Funds to buy, sell, hold, receive, deliver or otherwise transact in certain securities and other instruments. The full impact of the

sanctions and the Russia-Ukraine conflict on these Funds, the financial markets and the global economy is not yet known. Management is continuing to monitor these developments and evaluate other impacts they may have on the Funds.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement for the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® World Low Vol Plus Equity ETF (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® World Low Vol Plus Equity ETF (the “Fund”) is a newly-organized investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) that commenced investment operations on March 15, 2022. At a meeting held on December 1, 2021 (the “Meeting”) in connection with the Fund’s organization, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Trustees present who are not parties to the Fund’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”) approved the Management Agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Fund.
At the Meeting, the Trustees reviewed the Management Agreement with respect to the Fund, including information regarding the terms of the Management Agreement; the nature, extent and quality of the Investment Adviser’s anticipated services; the fees and expenses to be paid by the Fund; a comparison of the Fund’s proposed management fee and anticipated expenses with those paid by other similar exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”); potential benefits to be derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; and potential benefits to be derived by the Fund from its relationship with the Investment Adviser. Various information was also provided at prior meetings at which the Fund was discussed.
In connection with the Meeting, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval of registered fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Meeting, the Trustees relied upon information included in a presentation made by the Investment Adviser at the Meeting and information received at prior Board meetings, as well as on their knowledge of the Investment Adviser resulting from their meetings and other interactions over time.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that would be provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the significant resources that the Investment Adviser devotes to risk management and the control environment in which the Fund would operate, the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Fund and its service providers would operate, including developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical events, and economic sanctions, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees considered that under the Management Agreement, the Fund pays a single management fee to the Investment Adviser, and the Investment Adviser pays all of the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses, excluding payments under the Fund’s 12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees, costs of holding shareholder meetings and litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. The Trustees also considered information about the Fund’s structure, investment objective, strategies and other characteristics. In particular, they noted that the Fund would operate as a passively-managed ETF that seeks to track a proprietary index created by the Investment Adviser. The Trustees noted the experience and capabilities of the key personnel of the Investment Adviser who would provide services to the Fund. In particular, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s extensive experience in managing quantitative investment strategies and its expertise in developing “smart beta” products. The Trustees also considered information regarding the Investment Adviser’s business continuity planning and remote operations capabilities. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser would be able to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Fund. They also considered that although the Fund was new (and therefore had no performance data to evaluate), the Investment Adviser has committed substantial financial and operational resources to ETFs and has extensive experience managing other types of registered investment companies. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Fund and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.
Unitary Fee Structure and Profitability
The Trustees considered the unitary management fee rate payable by the Fund, noting that the Management Agreement provides for a unitary fee structure, pursuant to which the Fund pays a single management fee to the Investment Adviser and the Investment Adviser then pays all of the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses. In addition, the Trustees considered information on the services to be rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Fund, which would include both advisory and non-advisory services directed to the needs and operations of the Fund as an ETF. The Trustees noted that no license fees would be payable to the
143
GOLDMAN SACHS ACTIVEBETA® ETFS
Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement for the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® World Low Vol Plus Equity ETF (Unaudited) (continued)
Investment Adviser by the Fund for use of the index created by the Investment Adviser. The Trustees also considered information provided regarding fees and expenses of comparable ETFs advised by other, unaffiliated investment management firms. The comparisons of the Fund’s unitary management fee rate and projected expense ratio were prepared by the Investment Adviser and a third-party provider of mutual fund and ETF data. In particular, the Trustees referred to an analysis comparing the Fund’s unitary management fee rate and projected expense ratio to those of relevant peer funds. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee and total expenses to be paid by the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser’s management of the Fund likely would benefit the Fund and its shareholders.
In addition, the Trustees recognized that there was not yet profitability data to evaluate for the Fund, but considered the Investment Adviser’s representations that (i) such data would be provided after the Fund commenced operations, and (ii) the Fund was not expected to be profitable to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates initially.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees noted that the Fund, similar to many other ETFs, would not have management fee breakpoints. The Trustees considered the Fund’s projected asset levels and information comparing the fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other ETFs in the Fund’s peer group.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits expected to be derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund as stated above, including: (a) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Fund on behalf of its other clients; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (c) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Funds’ securities lending cash collateral is invested; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Fund; and (e) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Fund’s third party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”).
Other Benefits to the Fund and Its Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Fund is expected to receive certain potential benefits as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Fund because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; and (c) the Fund’s access to certain affiliated distribution channels.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the unitary management fee to be paid by the Fund was reasonable in light of the services to be provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and the Fund’s reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the engagement of the Investment Adviser likely would benefit the Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved for an initial two-year period from its effective date.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended 8/31/2022 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other exchange-traded funds. This example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares of a Fund.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from from March 1, 2022 through August 31, 2022, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year (or less where indicated).
Actual Expenses — The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the six months. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
