Market Review
US equities capped 2010 on a note of optimism as the S&P 500 Index rose 6.7% in December, lifting fourth quarter gains to 10.8% and year to date returns to 15.1%. The Energy sector posted the strongest performance for the quarter, as oil prices climbed back over $90/barrel during December, a high for the year and a level not seen since late 2008. Year to date, the US equity market significantly outperformed the MSCI World Index average of 9.6% in USD, as investors gained confidence in the economic recovery.

Portfolio Attribution
The Concentrated Growth strategy delivered strong absolute returns during the quarter, but lagged its benchmark the Russell 1000 Growth Index (gross). Weakness in select Information Technology and Telecommunication Services businesses detracted from relative performance while positive stock selection in the Energy and Financials sectors contributed to relative returns.

Outlook
Equity markets rallied strongly during the fourth quarter, extending gains that began in early September the previous quarter. Additionally, stock price momentum became a growing trend and investors appetite for equities increased, as noted in retail mutual fund flows. We are encouraged that the global economy appears to have entered its next chapter of recovery and a hand-off from government subsidized stimulus to a more self-sustainable stage lead by healthy corporate spending and consumer participation has begun. Recent tax policies out of Washington are also helpful in increasing confidence and helping create some needed visibility into the future so that longer-term investment plans can be put in place. We remain optimistic on corporate profits, predominantly driven by top line rather than margin expansion. We have seen and expect to continue to see more in the way of strategic mergers & acquisitions, private equity transactions, and corporate buybacks giving us a good backdrop for demand for equities, however, we believe that the need to pick the right stocks in the coming year will increase as not all companies will be beneficiaries of these trends. Greater differentiation between stocks will continue as correlations decline from their 2010 highs, in our view.

1 Composite inception date: 07/01/1984 Currency used to express end of period assets and composite and benchmark performance: USD. 2 he composite net of fee returns are calculated by adjusting each monthly gross of fee composite return by the highest applicable fee rate listed in the Form ADV, Part II schedule or internal product fee schedule applicable to the prospective investor type. Actual T fees and expenses may differ from those reflected in this composite presentation which would cause performance to differ. Where performance fees exist, the calculation was based on assumptions as to how the rate was applied which could differ from how it was actually charged. The net performance may not reflect the deduction of custody, administrative and other fees and expenses or fund sales loads, if applicable. 3 ispersion represents an asset weighted standard deviation of annual portfolio returns. Dispersion is not considered meaningful where less than five portfolios have been in the composite for the entire year and therefore has not been presented in years where an D N/A appears. 4 Percentage of Firm assets are presented on an annual basis. Additional Firm asset and % of Firm asset information is available upon request. 5 The Firms asset related figures above are preliminary for 09/2010. 6 enchmark Source: Russell Investments The Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted B growth values. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap growth segment. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included and that the represented companies continue to reflect growth characteristics. 7 Benchmark Source 2: Standard & Poors The S&P 500 Index is a market-value weighted index comprised of 500 stocks selected for market size, liquidity and industry group representation. 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, 2009 by Ernst & Young LLP. 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 Firms policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. The GSAM US Concentrated Growth composite has been examined for the periods July 1,2000 through December 31,2009. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request. 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. 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). GSAM was established in 1988. GSAM acquired CIN Management (CIN) in August 1996 and merged CIN global investment management teams and assets with existing GSAM teams of similar strategies while also expanding to form new GSAM global strategies. In January 1997, GSAM also acquired and retained substantially all of the assets, historical performance results and investment management team of Liberty Investment Management and its predecessor Firm Eagle Asset Management, to form its US active growth equity business team. GSAM acquired Macquarie-IMM Investment Management Co. (Macquarie-IMM) in September 2007 to expand the Korean equity strategy offerings and distribution channels within the Firm. Macquarie-IMM had been in existence since March 2000 and GSAM retained substantially all of the assets, historical performance results and key investment team members. The GSAM US Concentrated Growth composite consists of portfolios that invest in large and mid cap companies representing the teams highest conviction ideas. Portfolios generally hold between 30-40 stocks and have meaningful weightings in individual holdings and sectors. The composite includes portfolios with assets in excess of the following account values during the referenced periods: Inception through 1985 > $100 Thousand, 1986 through 1988 > $2 Million, 1989 through 1996 > $5 Million. Portfolios from 1997 through present are included in the composite with no restrictions on asset size. Portfolios may include institutional accounts, pooled vehicles or private wealth accounts. On September 1, 2002 the composite was redefined to reflect a movement to fewer stocks and a broader range of weightings on individual holdings and sectors. * Standard Deviation and Tracking Error are calculated using quarterly returns.** The 14 through 26 year returns will not be calculated intra-quarter as only quarterly returns exist prior to 1997.*** Percentage of Liberty assets from inception through 1996 and percentage of GSAM assets from 1997 forward. 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. Institutional and private wealth accounts apply the Modified BAI calculation methodology based on a monthly valuation and daily weighted cash flows. Quarterly valuations were used until December 31,1996. Accounts are revalued at the time of large cash flows based on the consistent application of the current threshold in the revaluation policy. Accounts are valued pursuant to GSAMs Valuation Procedures and reflect GSAMs 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.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. Segments of multiple asset class portfolios which have been managed as stand alone portfolios with separately managed cash may be included in the composite. Leverage and derivatives have not been actively used within portfolios in the composite unless specified. A complete list and description of GSAMs composites is available upon request. 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 GSAM US Concentrated Growth mandates: 90 bps on first $25 million, 65 bps on next $25 million, 55 bps on next $50 million, 50 bps on next $100 million, 40 bps on excess of $200 million. Performance based fees are also available in accordance with applicable regulations. Additional information regarding investment management fees is provided in our Form ADV, Part II.Effective July 1, 2005, GSAM changed its methodology for applying model fees for calculation of composite net returns on a prospective basis. The new methodology will reflect the application of the highest fee in the Form ADV, Part II or internal product fee schedule for each monthly period based on the applicable fee schedule in effect for that calendar year. When fee changes occur mid year, the highest fee is applied for the entire year. Previously, the current highest fee in the Form ADV, Part II was applied retroactively across all periods resulting in the net returns presented through June 30, 2005 reflecting fees based on the applicable fee schedule in existence at June 30, 2005. The effect of differences in the methodologies historically is considered immaterial for restatement. For the performance period presented, investment professionals may have changed or departed, none of which in the Firms view have altered the composites strategy. Benchmarks: Effective 03/01/02, the Concentrated Growth strategy added the Russell 1000 Growth as a benchmark, in addition to the S&P500. Both benchmarks are presented as consultants, potential clients, and existing clients may compare the result of this strategy against both of these benchmarks. The composite returns have been reported net of foreign withholding taxes on dividends, interest and capital gains based on the individual portfolios tax basis which may differ within the composite while the benchmark returns have been reported on a gross basis. The benchmark information presented above has been taken from published sources and has not been examined by the verifiers. On January 2, 1997, Liberty Investment Management became a division of Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Our composite reflects historical performance of Eagle Asset Management, Liberty Investment Managements predecessor firm through 1995, and of Liberty through 1996, and includes all Concentrated Growth accounts under management for a full quarter for the period from inception through December 1996 and for a full month from January 1997 to the present. Historical performance includes terminated accounts. Goldman Sachs Asset Managements Growth Equity accounts are managed on an individual basis. While the Growth Equity team essentially follows the general style outlined in this information in managing all of its accounts, from time to time specific portfolio management decisions may vary in one or more particulars (e.g., beta, percentage of cash, market capitalization, stock selection criteria, etc.) from the overall description presented here. In addition, the stock selection criteria represent the ideal situation, and any specific holding will not, and is not expected to, meet all criteria. This information is intended as a description which is generally accurate and not as a representation to be complied with at all times with all decisions. Thus, clients should not infer that any given portfolio will meet every stock selection criterion and match every portfolio characteristic outlined herein. As a manager with full discretion, we reserve the right to deviate from one or more aspects of its described style when we deem prudent to do so.
