Goldman Sachs Europe CORE® Equity Portfolio Base Shares (Acc.)/  LU0234681749  /

The Portfolio seeks to provide capital growth over the longer term. The Portfolio will mostly hold shares or similar instruments relating to European companies. Such companies are either based in or earn most of their profits or revenues from Europe. The Portfolio may also invest in companies which are based anywhere in the world. The Portfolio utilises the CORE strategy, a multi-factor proprietary model developed by Goldman Sachs which aims to forecast returns on securities. The Portfolio will not invest more than 33% of its assets in bonds issued by corporate or government entities, convertibles (securities that can be converted into other types of securities), money market instruments and non-share related instruments. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for efficient portfolio management purposes, to help manage risks and for investment purposes in order to seek to increase return. A derivative instrument is a contract between two or more parties whose value depends on the rise and fall of other underlying assets.
