Current Forecast

Energy Production

– Largest producer of energy in the world (crude oil, natural gas and NGLs)1

– Largest producer of natural gas in the world (2013: 66.5 vs. 58.5 Bcf/d from Russia; US represents ~20% of global production)2

– 3rd largest liquids producer (after Saudi Arabia and Russia), but fastest growing (from 2010-2013 US production growth of 33%; Saudi Arabia 14%; Russia 4%)3

– From 2013 to 2025:

– Natural Gas production to increase 31%

– Liquids production to increase over 140%

– US expected to become largest crude oil producer in the world by 20157

Energy Usage – LPG exports have increased 152.1% and petroleum products exports have increased 36.1% from 2010-20134

– US became a net exporter of petroleum product in 2011 for the first time since 1949 and of LPGs in 2012

– US has a significant cost advantage in manufacturing, petrochemicals, agriculture, and refining through cheap feedstock (i.e. cost of ethylene production in the US is ~1/4th the price in Europe)5

– US to begin exporting LNG by 2016; by 2019 exports to be at 11.4 Bcf/d making the US the 2nd largest LNG exporter8

– US ethylene production capacity to increase by ~40% by 2018 (additional 11.6 MM metric tons per year of production capacity over 2013 levels)9

Infrastructure Spending

– Ongoing projects throughout the US

– $1.2 trillion expected energy infrastructure spending from 2014-202510

Key Objectives

Seeks to capture the benefits of the North American Energy Shale Revolution

Invest in key beneficiaries – Energy Producers (Upstream), Energy Infrastructure (Midstream), and Energy Users (Downstream)

Emphasize energy infrastructure since more driven by volume than commodity pricing and unique attributes of yield + growth, interest rate and inflation resiliency, and low correlations to traditional asset classes

Seeks to capture the benefits in a more tax sensitive way for offshore investors versus more conventional ways

Seeks a total return approach comprised of yield + growth, with an emphasis on the latter

Note: There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.

Why Now?

Strong fundamentals with robust growth expected across…

– Energy production

– Energy usage (of US produced energy)

– Energy infrastructure spending

Reasonable Valuations

– And, cheap relative to fixed income

Key Risks

Note: Goldman Sachs does not provide accounting, tax or legal advice.

Meaningful drop in commodity prices which may reduce production level

– Could have a negative impact on energy infrastructure cash flow generation

Regulatory

– Increased regulations and costs due to environmental concerns

Deterioration of the financing environment

– Many energy beneficiary companies depend on the capital markets in order to finance their growth

Sharply rising interest rates

– May impact the cost of capital negatively, but assuming rates go up gradually and for the right reason (economic growth), growth could compensate

Opportunity Set for Fund (i.e. for offshore investors¹)

Total Universe (136 names, $3.3T market cap)*

In the case of energy infrastructure, the fund will invest in “non K1 generating”² companies that can be:

– C-Corps that own MLPs

– C-Corps that own energy infrastructure assets directly

– MLPs that are taxed as corporations

Additionally, the fund will invest in companies that are defined as energy producers, energy users, or diversified (per above), but often have an infrastructure component to their business.

Source: GSAM, Bloomberg as of June 30, 2014. *The total universe is broken out in the pie chart in terms of number of names. Goldman Sachs does not provide accounting, tax or legal advice. “MLP”: Master Limited Partnership. “C-Corp”: US corporation that is taxed separately from its owners. ¹Offshore refers to non-US investors. ²Schedule K-1 form is a tax document used to report the incomes, losses and dividends of a business’ partners shareholders. The GS North American Shale Revolution and Energy Infrastructure Portfolio does not own MLPs which generate K-1 tax forms and therefore may be attractive for investors who are Schedule K-1 sensitive.

Incentive Distribution Rights (IDRs) – IDRs are a share of cash distributions that flow from the Master Limited Partnership (MLP) to the General Partner (GP)

– As the underlying MLP grows, the GPs take of underlying cash flow also grows often starting at 2% to GP (vs. 98% to LPs) and eventually maxes out at 50%

– This is why GPs tend to offer better cost of capital and stronger growth than MLPs

North American Energy Infrastructure (Institutional) (Continued)

Composite creation date: 10/08/2013

GSAM claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. GSAM has been independently verified for the periods July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2006 by Deloitte & Touche, LLP and for the periods July 1, 2006 through December 31, 2012 by Ernst & Young LLP. The verification reports are available upon request.

Verification assesses whether (1) the Firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the Firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management (excluding the following two business units (i) Goldman Sachs Hedge Fund Strategies LLC and (ii) the Private Equity Group), is referred to herein as the 'Firm' or 'GSAM'. Established in 1988, GSAM provides advisory services globally to both individual and institutional clients and is defined as the 'Firm' for purposes of complying with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). In July 2011, GSAM acquired Goldman Sachs & Partners, an affiliated Australian investment adviser and Benchmark Asset Management Company, an Indian investment adviser and ETF provider. In May 2012, GSAM acquired Dwight Asset Management Company LLC and retained substantially all the stable value strategies and associated investment team members. Effective October 2012, the Energy and Infrastructure team within Private Wealth Management (PWM), an affiliated investment adviser, moved to GSAM. In April 2014, GSAM acquired Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management Stable Value team and retained substantially all the stable value strategies and associated investment team members. In all instances, unless otherwise noted, GSAM retained substantially all of the assets, historical performance results and key investment team members.

The North American Energy Infrastructure composite consists of portfolios that invest in energy MLP-related securities that are managed with the objective of total return as a result of stable cash flow distributions that grow over time. MLP portfolios reflect the team's proprietary research views and seek an income stream from investing in MLP-related securities in energy infrastructure and logistics mainly in North America. Portfolios primarily invest in MLPs that elect to be taxed as 'C' corporations, 'C' corporations and LLCs that hold interests in MLPs, MLP access vehicles such as ETFs and ETNs, and derivatives. Portfolios are included in the composite with no restrictions on asset size. Portfolios may include institutional accounts, pooled vehicles or private wealth accounts.

These total return figures represent past performance and are not indicative of future returns which may vary. Performance results are calculated utilizing a time-weighted rate of return methodology and include the reinvestment of earnings. Effective April 2010, institutional and private wealth account returns are calculated by applying the true time-weighted return calculation methodology. Previously account returns were calculated applying the Modified BAI calculation methodology based on a monthly valuation and daily weighted cash flows. Accounts are valued pursuant to GSAM's Valuation Procedures and reflect GSAM's good faith estimate of fair market levels for all positions, which may not be realized upon liquidation. The circumstances of the transaction and transaction size will affect the price received upon liquidation.

GSAM's valuation policies are available upon request. Gross performance results are presented before management and custodial fees but after all trading commissions and transaction costs. Net performance results are net of transaction costs and investment management fees as described in Note 2 above. Where composites include mutual fund portfolios, the mutual fund performance is calculated gross of management and other fund fees for all share classes. Gross mutual fund performance is derived from net fund performance, applying the funds' total expense ratio. All relevant funds' share class assets are reflected in the composite and total GSAM assets figures. Each share class is treated as one account.

Account and mutual fund valuation sources and timing may sometimes differ causing dispersion within the composite. The composite may include portfolios of different base currencies which have been redenominated to a common currency using monthly exchange rates obtained from WM Reuters and Financial Times (FT). Composite monthly returns are the size-weighted averages of the portfolios' monthly returns. Composite monthly returns are geometrically linked to calculate composite annual returns. GSAM's policies for calculating performance and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request. Segments of multiple asset class portfolios which have been managed as stand alone portfolios with separately managed cash may be included in the composite. A complete list and description of GSAM's composites is available upon request.

The maximum fee schedule applied for this strategy reflects 65 basis points.

Effective January 1, 2012, GSAM changed its methodology for applying model fees changes for calculation of composite net returns on a prospective basis. When a fee increase occurs mid month, the highest applicable fee rate is applied effective the 1st of that month. When a fee decrease occurs mid month, the lowered fee rate is applied effective the 1st of the following month. Between July 1, 2005 and December 31, 2011, the methodology reflected the application of the highest model fee based on the applicable fee schedule in effect for that calendar year. Prior to July 1, 2005, the current highest fee in the Form ADV, Part II was applied retroactively across all periods. As a result, net returns presented through June 30, 2005 reflect the fees in effect on June 30, 2005.

For the performance period presented, investment professionals may have changed or departed, none of which in the Firm's view have altered the composite's strategy.

A benchmark has not been presented for this composite. There is currently no existing benchmark that the Investment Manager believes is a suitable index for comparison.

Verification assesses whether (1) the Firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the Firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. The Master Limited Partnership composite has been examined for the periods January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request.


The Master Limited Partnership (MLP) composite consists of portfolios that invest in energy MLP and MLP-related public equity securities that are managed with the objective of total return as a result of stable cash flow distributions that grow over time. MLP portfolios reflect the team�s proprietary research views and seek an income stream from investing in MLPs in energy infrastructure and logistics. Portfolios are included in the composite with no restrictions on asset size. Portfolios may be cash, securities, or cash and securities funded. Portfolios may include institutional accounts, pooled vehicles or private wealth accounts.




Performance included in the composite for periods prior to October 2012 represents results achieved by Energy and Infrastructure team members while at Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management (PWM), an affiliated investment adviser. The team joined the firm in connection with the integration of the energy and infrastructure business. Such performance reflects the performance of all accounts with substantially similar investment objectives, policies and strategies for which the Energy and Infrastructure team had portfolio management responsibility at Goldman Sachs PWM. References to market or composite indices, benchmarks or other measures of relative market performance over a specified period of time (each, an 'index') are provided for your information only. Reference to an index does not imply that the portfolio will achieve returns, volatility or other results similar to the index. The composition of the index may not reflect the manner in which a portfolio is constructed in relation to expected or achieved returns, portfolio guidelines, restrictions, sectors, correlations, concentrations, volatility or tracking error targets, all of which are subject to change over time.

Maximum Fees on Institutional Master Limited Partnership mandates: 95 bps on first $25 million, 80 bps on next $25 million, 70 bps on next $50 million, 65 bps on next $100 million, 60 bps on amounts over $200 million.

Index Benchmarks

Indices are unmanaged. The figures for the index reflect the reinvestment of all income or dividends, as applicable, but do not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses which would reduce returns. Investors cannot invest directly in indices. The indices referenced herein have been selected because they are well known, easily recognized by investors, and reflect those indices that the Investment Manager believes, in part based on industry practice, provide a suitable benchmark against which to evaluate the investment or broader market described herein. The exclusion of “failed” or closed hedge funds may mean that each index overstates the performance of hedge funds generally.

General Disclosures

Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary.

The value of investments and the income derived from investments will fluctuate and can go down as well as up. A loss of principal may occur.

Master Limited Partnerships ("MLPs") may be generally less liquid than other publicly traded securities and as such can be more volatile and involve higher risk. MLPs may also involve substantially different tax treatment than other equity-type investments, and such tax treatment could be disadvantageous to certain types of investors, such as retirement plans, mutual funds, charitable accounts, foreign investors, retirement accounts or charitable entities. In addition, investments in MLPs may trigger state tax reporting requirements.

Goldman Sachs does not provide accounting, tax, or legal advice. Notwithstanding anything in this document to the contrary, and except as required to enable compliance with applicable securities law, you may disclose to any person the US federal and state income tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to you relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, without Goldman Sachs imposing any limitation of any kind. Investors should be aware that a determination of the tax consequences to them should take into account their specific circumstances and that the tax law is subject to change in the future or retroactively and investors are strongly urged to consult with their own tax advisor regarding any potential strategy, investment or transaction.

As the GSAM: MLPs Core Strategy trades MLPs (which may generate UBTI for certain types of investors) and other equity securities, clients of Goldman Sachs should obtain their own independent tax advice based on their particular circumstances. Entities referred to as MLPs are generally structured as LPs but also can be structured as LLCs and receive partnership taxation treatment. Some MLPs may choose different taxation treatment or choose to be structured differently. Differently structured entities may not have all the characteristics of a typical MLP.

Generally, a master limited partnership (“MLP”) is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Therefore, investors in an MLP may be subject to certain taxes in addition to Federal income taxes, including state and local income taxes imposed by the various jurisdictions in which the MLP conducts business or owns property. In addition, certain tax-exempt investors in an MLP, such as tax-exempt foundations and charitable lead trusts, may incur unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”) with respect to their investment. UBTI may result in increased Federal, and possibly state and local, tax costs, and may also result in additional filing requirements for tax exempt investors. Non-U.S. investors may be subject to U.S. taxation on a net income basis and have U.S. filing obligations as a result of investing in MLPs or US Royalty Trusts. The tax reporting information for MLPs generally is provided to investors on an annual IRS Schedule K-1, rather than an IRS Form 1099. To the extent the Schedule K-1 is delivered after April 15, you may be required to request an extension to file your tax returns.
