(GSAM or the Investment Adviser) or an affiliate now or in the future acts as investment adviser or principal underwriter. The Fund may also invest in unaffiliated ETFs, ETPs and/or money market funds. The Fund generally intends to invest in companies that the Investment Adviser believes are aligned with key themes associated with the different and evolving priorities and spending habits of younger consumers, which include, but are not limited to, the increased adoption of technology and their different lifestyle preferences and values (the Key Themes). The Key Themes currently are: Tech-Enabled Consumption : ? Digital Enablers: represents companies that, in the Investment Advisers view, provide or help create products, services or technologies in areas including, but not limited to, internet and communications infrastructure, digital components, and fintech infrastructure. ? Digital Services: represents companies that, in the Investment Advisers view, provide or help create products, services or technologies in areas including, but not limited to, e-commerce, social media, digital entertainment and gaming, fintech services, mobility, and the digital workforce. Lifestyle and Values : ? Consumption: represents companies that, in the Investment Advisers view, provide or help create products, services or technologies in areas including, but not limited to, health and wellness, luxury, and sustainable living. ? Lifestyle: represents companies that, in the Investment Advisers view, provide or help create products, services or technologies in areas including, but not limited to, experiences, health and wellness, sustainable living, education, pet care, and childcare. The Key Themes and related areas of investment may change over time at the sole discretion of the Investment Adviser without prior notice to shareholders. In addition, the Fund is permitted to make investments that are not aligned with the Key Themes. In selecting investments, the Investment Adviser will not seek to allocate a specified portion of the Funds portfolio to each particular Key Theme, and the allocation of the Funds investments across the Key Themes will vary over time in the Investment Advisers sole discretion. The Fund may not allocate its investments to each Key Theme at all times and an investment may be aligned with multiple Key Themes at the same time. The Investment Advisers belief may be informed by, among other things, company disclosure, third-party research, engagement with the companies, or subjective criteria including the Investment Advisers own research, expectations, or opinions. A company in which the Fund invests may not currently or in the future derive any revenue from its association with the different and evolving priorities and spending habits of younger consumers. The Investment Adviser employs a fundamental investment process that may integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors alongside traditional fundamental factors. No one factor or consideration is determinative in the stock selection process. The Fund may invest in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in countries with emerging markets or economies. The Fund may invest without restriction as to company capitalization and may invest significantly in small- and mid-capitalization companies. The Fund concentrates its investments ( i.e. , holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the group of industries that comprise the consumer discretionary, communication services and information technology sectors. THE FUND IS NON-DIVERSIFIED UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED (THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT), AND MAY INVEST A LARGER PERCENTAGE OF ITS ASSETS IN FEWER ISSUERS THAN DIVERSIFIED FUNDS. The Fund is an actively managed ETF, which is a fund that trades like other publicly-traded securities. The Fund is not an index fund and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. The Investment Adviser measures the Funds performance against the MSCI ACWI Growth Index.
