Bar Chart and Performance Table [Heading] Performance
Performance Narrative [Text Block]
The bar chart and table below provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. It is currently contemplated that before the Fund commences operations, the assets of another investment company advised by the Investment Adviser, Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund (the “predecessor fund”), will be transferred to the Fund in a tax-free reorganization. It is currently contemplated that the reorganization will take place upon the close of business on November 14, 2025. The Fund and the predecessor fund have identical investment objectives and fundamental investment policies and have substantially similar investment strategies. The performance of the predecessor fund has not been restated to reflect the annual operating expenses of the Fund, which are lower than those of the predecessor fund. Because the Fund has different fees and expenses than the predecessor fund, the Fund would also have had different performance results.
The bar chart and table show: (a) changes in the performance of the Fund’s Shares (represented by the performance of the predecessor fund’s Institutional Shares) from year to year; and (b) how the average annual total returns of the Fund (represented by the average annual total returns of the predecessor fund’s Institutional Shares) compare to those of a broad-based securities market index (Russell 1000® Index) (the “Regulatory Benchmark”) and the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the “Performance Benchmark”). The Performance Benchmark is generally more representative of the market sectors and/or types of investments in which the Fund invests or to which the Fund has exposure and which the Investment Adviser uses to measure the Fund’s performance.The Fund has included in the table below the performance of the Regulatory Benchmark, which represents a broader measure of market performance, to comply with regulatory requirements. For additional information about these benchmark indices, please see “Additional Benchmark Information” on page 24 of the Prospectus. The Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available at no cost at am.gs.com or by calling the appropriate phone number on the back cover of the Prospectus.
Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown.
