Goldman Sachs Dynamic Opportunities Limited (USD Feeder)
Performance Highlight April 2012
Overview
Most risk assets finished lower in April, as an early sell-off
following a weaker U.S. payrolls report was only partially
recovered by a rally into month-end amid stronger than expected
quarterly earnings. Markets leveled off into a range as the
consistent upswing from the start of the year lost momentum, with
volatility levels remaining relatively low as investors balanced a
variety of market outcomes. Varying outlooks for economic growth
and monetary policy around the world led to a high level of
regional differentiation, with strong performance from Chinese
equities while European and Japanese indices struggled.
The MSCI World Index fell by 1.4% on the month, with
country-level returns ranging from a gain of 5.9% for China's
Shanghai Composite to a loss of 12.5% for Spain's IBEX Index. Fixed
income rallied throughout the month, with skepticism regarding
growth conditions driving the U.S. 10-year yield 13 bps lower
to1.91% while government bonds in other geographies also rallied
modestly. Currency markets were generally range-bound in April with
some exceptions. The Japanese yen gained 3.8% against the U.S.
dollar, reversing its recent trend, and the Brazilian real fell by
4.3% as its central bank aggressively intervened to weaken the
currency. The S&P GSCI lost 0.5%, driven in part by a modest
sell-off in some energy-related commodities.
The hedge fund industry generated roughly flat performance in
April with fairly low dispersion across managers and strategies.
Positioning was less uniform across the hedge fund industry in
response to mixed recent data, with pro-risk positioning resulting
in losses for some funds. Strong security selection drove relative
outperformance for fundamental strategies, with a number of
managers generating alpha compared to their level of net exposure.
While macro uncertainty is high, lower correlations have rewarded
fundamental research in many cases thus far this year, leading some
managers to remain optimistic regarding the opportunity set.
The event driven sector finished roughly flat as credit managers
generated modest gains while some multi-strategy funds realized
losses. Equity long/short performance was also roughly flat, with
most managers outperforming the decline in global equity markets.
Performance was mixed for tactical trading strategies, as pro-risk
positioning resulted in losses for some macro managers while
managed futures funds benefited from long positions in fixed
income. The relative value sector produced a modest gain,
outperforming other strategies.

Disclosures
Investors are reminded of their agreement in the Subscription
Agreement pertaining to the Fund that, without the prior written
consent of the Investment Manager, investors shall not disclose any
information relating to the Fund to any person who is not an
officer, employee, accountant, attorney or tax advisor involved in
their investments except as otherwise provided in the Subscription
Agreement. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that the third
party managers and their funds described herein, and the partners,
employees, officers, and affiliates thereof, have made no
representation or warranty with respect to these materials, and
such parties do not assume any warranty of liability in connection
with the distribution of these materials and shall not be held
liable to any person for any losses resulting from the furnishing

PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING
COMMISSION IN CONNECTION WITH ACCOUNTS OF QUALIFIED ELIGIBLE
PERSONS, THIS BROCHURE OR ACCOUNT DOCUMENT IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE,
AND HAS NOT BEEN, FILED WITH THE COMMISSION. THE COMMODITY FUTURES
TRADING COMMISSION DOES NOT PASS UPON THE MERITS OF PARTICIPATING

Although the Investment Manager is registered with the CFTC
under the Commodity Exchange Act as a CPO with respect to other
pools that it operates, the Investment Manager will operate the
Fund as if it was exempt from such registration pursuant to Rule
4.13(a)(4) under the Commodity Exchange Act because (i) the Shares
are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the 'Securities Act') and are being offered and sold
without marketing to the public in the United States, and (ii)
Shares may be purchased only by persons who are 'qualified eligible
persons' as defined in Rule 4.7 under the Commodity Exchange Act.
Therefore, the Investment Manager is not required to deliver to
Shareholders certified annual reports and a disclosure document
that are required to be delivered pursuant to the Commodity
Exchange Act, which would contain certain disclosures required
thereby that may not be included herein or in the reports to be
provided to Shareholders by the Fund.

described in section 238(4) of the UK Financial Services and

UK only to persons to whom such investment may be promoted in
accordance with rules or orders made pursuant to sections 238(5) or
(6) of that Act.

Past performance is not indicative of future results, which may
vary. The value of investments and the income derived from
investments can go down as well as up. Future returns are not
guaranteed, and a loss of principal may occur.
Effect of fees on performance:
The following table provides a simplified example of the effect
of management and incentive fees on portfolio returns. For example,
assume a portfolio has a steady investment return, gross of fees,
of 0.5% per month and total management fees of 0.1250% per month of
the market value of the portfolio on the last day of the month and
incentive fees of 10% of net profits. Management fees and incentive
fees are deducted from the market value of the portfolio on that
day. There are no cash flows during the period. The table shows
that, assuming that other factors such as investment return and
fees remain constant, the difference increases due to the
compounding effect over time. Of course, the magnitude of the
difference between gross-of-fee and net-of-fee returns will depend
on a variety of factors, and the example has been intentionally
simplified.
Period Gross Return Net Return Differential
1 year 6.17% 4.13% 2.04%
2 years 12.72% 8.42% 4.29%
10 years 81.94% 49.83% 32.11%

relative market performance over a specified period of time (each,
an "index") are provided for your information only. Reference to
this 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.
Indices are unmanaged. The figures for the index reflect the
reinvestment of dividends but do not reflect the deduction of any
fees or expenses which would reduce returns. Investors cannot
invest directly in indices.

sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are
calculated and reported on a regular basis.
MSCI World Index Hedged USD

weighted index is composed of companies representative of the
market structure of 22 developed market countries in North America,
Europe, and the Asia/Pacific Region. The index is calculated

both USdollars and local currencies.
Supplemental Risk Disclosure for All Potential Investors in
Hedge Funds and other private investment funds (collectively,
"Alternative Investments")
In connection with your consideration of an investment in any
Alternative Investment, you should be aware of the following
risks:
Alternative Investments are not subject to the same regulatory
requirements or governmental oversight as mutual funds. The sponsor
or manager of any Alternative Investment may not be registered with
any governmental agency.
Alternative Investments often engage in leverage and other
investment practices that are extremely speculative and involve a
high degree of risk. Such practices may increase the volatility of
performance and the risk of investment loss, including the loss of
the entire amount that is invested.
Alternative Investments may purchase instruments that are traded
on exchanges located outside the United States that are "principal
markets" and are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not
perform with respect to contracts. Furthermore, since there is
generally less government supervision and regulation of foreign
exchanges, Alternative Investments are also subject to the risk of
the failure of the exchanges and there may be a higher risk of
financial irregularities and/or lack of appropriate risk monitoring
and controls.
Alternative Investments may impose significant fees, including
incentive fees that are based upon a percentage of the realized and
unrealized gains, and such fees may offset all or a significant
portion of such Alternative Investment's trading profits.
Alternative Investments are offered in reliance upon an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, for offers and sales of securities that do not involve a
public offering. No public or other market is available or will
develop.
Similarly, interests in an Alternative Investment are highly
illiquid and generally are not transferable without the consent of
the sponsor, and applicable securities and tax laws will limit
transfers.
Alternative Investments may themselves invest in instruments
that may be highly illiquid and extremely difficult to value. This
also may limit your ability to redeem or transfer your investment
or delay receipt of redemption proceeds.
Alternative Investments are not required to provide their
investors with periodic pricing or valuation information.
There may be conflicts of interest between the Alternative
Investment and other service providers, including the investment
manager and sponsor of the Alternative Investment.
Investors in Alternative Investments may have limited rights
with respect to their investment interest, including limited voting
rights and participation in the management of the Alternative
Investment.
Alternative Investments may involve complex tax and legal
structures. Investment in any particular Alternative Investment, or
Alternative Investments generally, is only suitable for
sophisticated investors for whom such an investment does not
constitute a complete investment program and who fully understand
and are willing to assume the risks involved in such Alternative
Investment. You are urged to consult with your own tax, accounting
and legal advisers regarding any investment in any Alternative
Investment.
Investors are also urged to take appropriate advice regarding
any applicable legal requirements and any applicable taxation and
exchange control regulations in the country of their citizenship,
residence or domicile which may be relevant to the subscription,
purchase, holding, exchange, redemption or disposal of any
Alternative Investment.
We refer you to the offering materials for a more complete
discussion of the risks relating to an investment in any particular
Alternative Investment. You are urged to read all of the offering
materials, including the entire offering memorandum, prior to any
investment in any Alternative Investment, and to ask questions of
the investment manager or sponsor of such Alternative Investment.
Investment Restrictions apply to many of Goldman Sachs' Alternative
Investments. Goldman Sachs Hedge Fund Strategies LLC, a US
registered investment adviser, is part of Goldman Sachs Asset
Management and is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs
Group, Inc.
