The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) ("Net Assets") in U.S. or foreign fixed income securities. It may not invest, in the aggregate, more than 20% of its total assets measured at the time of purchase in emerging countries debt and non-investment grade fixed income securities. The fund’s target duration range under normal interest rate conditions is expected to approximate that of the Goldman Sachs Short Duration Bond Fund Composite Index plus or minus two years.
