EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As an interestholder of the below listed (the “Portfolios”), you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management and administrative services, among others. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolios and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013.
The table below illustrates your Portfolio’s costs in two ways:
| • | | Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Portfolio’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Portfolio. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. |
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.
| • | | Based on hypothetical 5% return. This section is intended to help you compare your Portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Portfolio had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Portfolio’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your Portfolio’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. |

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements.
Security valuation – As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein, securities of the Portfolios are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
The Portfolios adopted provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures that define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. This applies to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is intended to increase consistency of those measurements and applies broadly to securities and other types of assets and liabilities. In accordance with these provisions, fair value is defined as the price that a Portfolio would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolios’ investments.
The three tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
| • | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
| • | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of December 31, 2013, in valuing the Portfolios’ assets carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Investments in Securities | |
Valuation Inputs | | State Street Money Market Portfolio | | | State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio | | | State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio | | | State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio | | | State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio | |

The type of inputs used to value each security under the provisions surrounding fair value measurement and disclosures is identified in each Portfolio of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Portfolios’ investments by category.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no transfers between levels.
Securities transactions, investment income and expenses – Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on investments. Premium is amortized and discount is accreted using the straight line method. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Expenses are accrued daily.
All of the net investment income and realized gains and losses from the security transactions of the Portfolios are allocated pro rata among the partners in the Portfolios daily based on each partner’s daily ownership percentage.
Federal income taxes – The Portfolios are not required to pay federal income taxes on their net investment income and net capital gains because they are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. All interest, gains and losses of the Portfolios are deemed to have been “passed through” to the Portfolios’ partners in proportion to their holdings in the respective Portfolio, regardless of whether such items have been distributed by the Portfolios. Each partner is responsible for tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
The Portfolios have reviewed the tax positions for open years as of December 31, 2013, and determined they did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses. The Portfolios recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2013, tax years 2010 through 2013 remain subject to examination by the Portfolios’ major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
At December 31, 2013, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes.
Repurchase Agreements – A portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement. A repurchase agreement customarily obligates the seller at the time it
41
State Street Master Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (continued)
December 31, 2013
sells securities to a Portfolio to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon price and time which, in the case of the Portfolios’ transactions, is generally within seven days. The total amount received by a Portfolio on repurchase is calculated to exceed the price paid by the Portfolio, reflecting an agreed-upon market rate of interest for the period of time to the settlement date, and is not necessarily related to the interest rate on the underlying securities. The underlying securities are ordinarily United States Government or Government Agency securities, but may consist of other securities. The value of the underlying securities, at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day, is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. Upon an event of default under the Master Repurchase Agreement, if the seller of securities under a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities (as a result of its bankruptcy or otherwise) a Portfolio will seek to dispose of such securities; this action could involve costs or delays. In addition, the proceeds of any such disposition may be less than the amount a Portfolio is owed under the repurchase agreement. A Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements maturing within seven days with domestic dealers, banks and other financial institutions deemed to be creditworthy by SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSgA FM” or the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”).
Expense allocation – Certain expenses are applicable to multiple Portfolios. Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio. Expenses of the Trust that are not directly attributed to a Portfolio are allocated among the Portfolios, on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the Portfolios can otherwise be made.
Use of estimates – The Portfolios’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that these differences could be material.
3. Related Party Fees
Each Portfolio has entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, under which the Adviser directs the investments of the Portfolios in accordance with their investment objectives, policies, and limitations. In compensation for the Adviser’s services as investment adviser, each Portfolio pays the Adviser a management fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of its average daily net assets.
State Street is the administrator, custodian and transfer agent for the Portfolios. In compensation for State Street’s services as administrator, custodian and transfer agent, the Portfolios pay State Street an annual fee, which is accrued daily and payable monthly at the applicable fee rate described below, of the following annual percentages of the Trust’s average aggregate daily net assets, exclusive of the Equity 500 Index Portfolio, during the month as follows:
| | |
Asset Levels | | Annual percentage of average aggregate daily net assets |
First $400 million | | 0.03% |
Next $15 billion | | 0.02% |
Thereafter | | 0.01% |
Minimum annual fee per Portfolio | | $150,000 |

4. Trustees’ Fees
Each Independent Trustee receives for his or her services a $100,000 retainer in addition to $5,000 for each in-person meeting and $1,250 for each telephonic meeting from the Trust. The Chairman receives an additional $30,000 annual retainer and the Audit Committee Chair receives an additional $10,000 annual retainer.
5. Indemnifications
The Trust’s organizational documents provide that its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, both in some of its principal service contracts and in the normal course of its business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against the Trust. Management does not expect any significant claims.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Owners of Beneficial Interest and Board of Trustees of
State Street Master Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of State Street Money Market Portfolio, State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio, State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolios and State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio (five of the portfolios constituting State Street Master Funds) (the “Portfolios”) as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Portfolios’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolios’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of State Street Money Market Portfolio, State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio, State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio and State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio, five of the portfolios constituting State Street Master Funds, at December 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Meeting Results
Rule 30e-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires registered management companies to report on all subject matters put to the vote of shareholders and provide final results. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees of the Trust solicited a vote by the shareholders for the following items:
Shareholders were asked to participate in a special meeting of shareholders on December 19, 2013. The meeting was subsequently adjourned and the final results will be reported in the next semi-annual report to shareholders.
Advisory Agreement Renewal
The Board of Trustees of the Trust met on November 12, 2013 (the “November Meeting” or “Meeting”) to consider the renewal of the investment advisory agreements for the Portfolios (the “Advisory Agreements”). In preparation for considering renewal of the Advisory Agreements at the November Meeting, the Independent Trustees convened a special telephonic meeting on October 10, 2013 (the “Preliminary Meeting”), at which they reviewed renewal materials provided by the Adviser, which they had requested through independent counsel, and discussed the materials with counsel and representatives of the Adviser. In the course of the Preliminary Meeting they requested additional materials from the Adviser and State Street, which were subsequently provided in advance of the November Meeting along with updates of certain of the original materials. At the November Meeting, in deciding whether to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered various factors, including (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreements, (ii) the investment performance of the Portfolios and the Adviser, (iii) the costs to the Adviser of its services and the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Trust, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if and as the Trust grows and whether the fee levels in the Advisory Agreements reflect these economies of scale, and (v) any additional benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Trustees relied on their prior direct experience as Trustees of the Trust as well as on the materials provided in advance of the November Meeting. The Trustees reviewed the Adviser’s responsibilities under the Advisory

Advisory Agreement Renewal — (continued)
Agreements and noted the experience and expertise that would be appropriate to expect of an adviser to the Portfolios, each of which is a money market fund. The Trustees reviewed the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for the investment and compliance operations relating to the investments of the Portfolios, and the responsibilities of the latter with respect to the Portfolios. They also considered the resources, operational structures and practices of the Adviser in managing the Portfolios’ investments, in monitoring and securing the Portfolios’ compliance with their investment objectives and investment policies and with applicable laws and regulations, and in seeking best execution of portfolio transactions. The Trustees also considered information about the Adviser’s overall investment management business, noting that the Adviser manages assets for a variety of institutional investors and that the Adviser and its affiliates had over $2.17 trillion in assets under management at August 31, 2013, including over $304 billion managed by the Adviser. They reviewed information regarding State Street’s business continuity and disaster recovery program. Drawing upon the materials provided and their general knowledge of the business of the Adviser, the Trustees noted the significant experience, resources and strength of the Adviser in the management of a variety of money-market products. As discussed more fully below, they also determined that the advisory fees paid by the Portfolios were fair and reasonable and that the Portfolios’ performance and expense ratios were acceptable. On the basis of this review, the Trustees determined that the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser to the Portfolios were appropriate and had been of good quality.
The Trustees determined, in view of the investment objectives of the Portfolios and after review and discussion of the available data and of a memorandum discussing the recent performance of the Portfolios supplied by the Adviser at the Independent Trustees’ request, that the investment performance was acceptable. The Trustees noted that the reported recent performance of the Portfolios relative to their peers was not a wholly dependable measure of the Adviser’s success in managing the Portfolios’ investments, due to the fact that the Portfolios’ and most of their peers’ returns had been significantly affected by advisers’ waiving fees and reimbursing expenses, often in order to maintain returns at or above zero; nevertheless, the Trustees determined that, in light of recent conditions in the money market industry, the reported performance of the Portfolios supported a finding that the performance was acceptable, albeit subject to ongoing review at future meetings.
The Trustees considered the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliate, State Street, of the advisory relationships with the Trust. (They noted at the outset that the issue of profitability would not arise with respect to SSGM, also an affiliate of the Adviser, because of the fact that SSGM receives no compensation from the Funds and, by implication, the Portfolios.) The Trustees had been provided with data regarding the profitability to the Adviser and State Street with respect to the Portfolios individually, and on an aggregate basis with the other feeder funds and master portfolios overseen by the Trustees (together, the “Funds and Portfolios”), for the year ended December 31, 2012, and for the four prior years. Having discussed with representatives of the Adviser the methodologies used in computing the costs that formed the bases of the profitability calculations, they concluded that these methodologies appeared reasonable and turned to the data provided. After discussion and analysis they concluded that, to the extent that the Adviser’s and State Street’s relationships with the Trust had been profitable to either or both of those entities during the period for which information had been provided, the profitability was in no case such as to render the advisory fee excessive, especially in light of the competitive levels of the fees paid to the Adviser and State Street by the Trust.

Advisory Agreement Renewal — (continued)
In order better to evaluate the Portfolios’ advisory fees, the Trustees had requested comparative information from Lipper Inc. with respect to fees paid by, and expense ratios of, similar funds not managed by the Adviser. The Trustees found that the Portfolios’ contractual advisory fees were all lower than the average and actual advisory fees were generally lower than the average for their Lipper peer groups and total expense ratios were generally lower than the average for their Lipper peer groups; after discussion, they concluded that the data available provided confirmation of the reasonableness of the Adviser’s fees. The Trustees also considered that, to help limit expenses of certain Portfolios and corresponding series of State Street Institutional Investment Trust, the Adviser had reduced its advisory fee or otherwise reimbursed expenses for those Portfolios.
In addition, the Trustees considered other advisory fees paid to the Adviser and its affiliate, State Street Global Advisors (“SSgA”). They noted that, as a general matter, fees paid to the Adviser by other, similar mutual funds sponsored by State Street tended to be higher than the fees paid by the Portfolios, with some exceptions, whereas fees paid by mutual funds for which the Adviser acted as sub-adviser and by institutional accounts managed by SSgA tended to be lower than those paid by the Portfolios, again with some exceptions; in considering these fees, the Trustees reviewed and discussed a memorandum prepared by the Adviser discussing the differences between the services provided to the Portfolios by the Adviser and those provided to sub-advised funds and other types of institutional clients. The Trustees determined that, in light of these significant differences, the fees paid by sub-advised funds and other types of institutional clients were of limited utility for purposes of comparison with those of the Portfolios, but that to the extent that meaningful comparison was practicable, the differences in services satisfactorily accounted for differences in the fees. The Trustees determined that the Adviser’s fees were fair and reasonable.
In considering whether the Adviser benefits in other ways from its relationship with the Trust, the Trustees also considered whether the Adviser’s affiliates may benefit from the Trust’s relationship with State Street as fund administrator, custodian and transfer agent and with SSGM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street, as principal underwriter for the Trust. They noted, among other things, that the Adviser utilizes no soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Portfolios’ brokerage transactions to obtain third-party (non-proprietary research) services. The Trustees concluded that, to the extent that the Adviser or its affiliates derive other benefits from their relationships with the Trust, those benefits are not so significant as to render the Adviser’s fees excessive.
The Trustees also considered the extent to which economies of scale may be realized by the Portfolios as assets grow and whether the Portfolios’ fee levels reflect such economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of investors. In considering the matter, the Trustees determined that, to the extent that economies of scale were in fact being realized, such economies of scale were shared with the Portfolios by virtue of advisory fees of comparatively low levels that subsumed economies of scale in the fees themselves. The Trustees also recognized, however, that should sustained, substantial asset growth be realized in the future, it might be appropriate to consider additional measures.
On the basis of the foregoing discussions and determinations, without any one factor being dispositive, the Trustees decided to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreements.

State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
The State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the “Fund”) seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before expenses, the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “Index”). In seeking to achieve this objective, the Fund utilizes a passive management strategy designed to track the performance of the Index. The Fund also employs futures to maintain market exposure and otherwise assist in attempting to replicate the performance of the Index.
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 32.30%, and the total return for the Index was 32.38%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of the Fund, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns. The expenses of managing the Fund and slight variations between the Fund’s holdings and the Index’s constituents contributed to the difference between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index.
The Index added value in every quarter of 2013, and the only months it lost ground during the year were June and August. For 2013 as a whole, more than 90% of the names in the Index posted positive returns, and the Index achieved a total return of 32.38%, its best annual result since 1997. Each of the ten of the S&P sectors achieved double-digit gains in 2013, participating handsomely in the broad equity prosperity. Leading the way were consumer discretionary, healthcare and industrials.
After lagging the vast majority of global stock markets amid the fiscal worries that preoccupied the final calendar quarter of 2012, US equity averages recovered strongly during the opening months of 2013. Share prices jumped sharply in the first trading session of the year and built on those gains thereafter, as worries about the consequences of mandated budgetary restraint gave way to optimism that the US private sector would keep employment growing and consumer demand solid.
Although the second calendar quarter of 2013 confronted investors with numerous new sources of volatility, the US equity markets demonstrated an impressive resilience throughout the Reporting Period. They found ready support despite weak employment and retail sales reports during April, and the Index climbed briskly into May to achieve a new set of record highs. While reiteration by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke of the potential for reduced asset purchases later in 2013 sent the Index to a June 20 loss that was its largest daily decline since late 2011, US share averages remained well above their April lows. Arguably, a key source of strength in US markets was disenchantment with expanded risks in other parts of the world, a phenomenon that buoyed the dollar and drove money into the presumed stability of American assets. Although the Index suffered a mild decline for June, it still appreciated slightly for the full second quarter.
Firm employment trends and conciliatory rhetoric from the Federal Reserve helped US stocks push higher in July, and major averages eventually eclipsed their May peaks with ease. Even though corporate earnings reports included some notable disappointments, consistent strength in popular biotechnology and consumer names kept investor sentiment buoyant. After the Index pushed to records once more in early August, however, the rally began to dissipate. Downbeat guidance from a number of major technology and retailing firms sparked a late August correction that gathered pace when Secretary of State John Kerry indicated that the US might take military action against Syria. A softer cast to US home sales was also less than helpful, and the August employment figures that arrived on the first Friday in September were weaker than expected.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE — (continued)
During both September and the third quarter as a whole, sector performance in the Index reflected a growing preference for themes that would benefit from healthier economic growth. Investors in US stocks were understandably nervous as the fourth quarter got underway, since equities had already produced solidly positive returns for three consecutive quarters and the history of early autumn includes many volatile episodes. Moreover, the September postponement of a widely expected announcement of tapered Federal Reserve asset purchases had dented the dollar and diverted attention towards non-US markets. When the US Congress could not agree on a budget and the government underwent a partial shutdown in early October, US investors remained on the defensive. Major averages did not breach their August lows, and investors began to anticipate a reopening of full government operations and a deal to circumvent the debt ceiling. When agreement actually came in mid-October, stocks had already built up enough momentum to drive volatility lower and lift share prices further through November. Nervous action returned in early December, when oil prices embarked on a sharp rebound. Worries about holiday spending and Chinese growth prospects contributed to the mild malaise.
Although the November employment figures reported in early December looked healthy, investors remained nervous when Congress arrived almost too easily at a new budget agreement, believing that, without political rancor, the Federal Reserve might have more incentive to remove accommodation. The middle of December brought the formal announcement that tapering of debt purchases would begin in January, but the accompanying guidance on maintaining interest rates at minimal levels was received very well by equity investors. The Index proceeded to set several new closing records, ending its extraordinary 2013 essentially on the highs.
On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance were: Google, Microsoft Corporation and General Electric Company.
The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance were: Newmont Mining Corporation, Apple Inc., and Intuitive Surgical Inc.

State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (Unaudited)
EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management and administrative services, among others. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013.
The table below illustrates your Portfolio’s costs in two ways:
| • | | Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the actual return of the Portfolio, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Portfolio. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. |
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.
| • | | Based on hypothetical 5% return. This section is intended to help you compare your Portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Portfolio had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Portfolio’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your Portfolio’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. |
Six Months Ended December 31, 2013
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value July 1, 2013 | | | Ending Account Value December 31, 2013 | | | Expenses Paid During Period * | |
| | | |
Based on Actual Portfolio Return | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,162.60 | | | $ | 0.25 | |
| | | |
Based on Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,024.98 | | | $ | 0.23 | |
* | The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal period of the Portfolio. The annualized expense ratio for the six months ended December 31, 2013 was 0.045%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (the most recent six month period). |

State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
1. Organization
State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company, and was organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on July 27, 1999. The Trust comprises ten investment portfolios: State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio, State Street Equity 400 Index Portfolio, State Street Equity 2000 Index Portfolio, State Street Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio, State Street Money Market Portfolio, State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, State Street Limited Duration Bond Portfolio, State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio, State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio and State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”).
At December 31, 2013, the following Portfolios were operational: the Portfolio, the State Street Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, the State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio and the State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio. The Portfolio is authorized to issue an unlimited number of non-transferable beneficial interests.
The Portfolio’s investment objective is to replicate, as closely as possible, before expenses, the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500® Index”). The Portfolio uses a passive management strategy designed to track the performance of the S&P 500® Index. The S&P 500® Index is a well-known, unmanaged, stock index that includes common stocks of 500 companies from several industrial sectors representing a significant portion of the market value of all stocks publicly traded in the United States. There is no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its objective.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation – The Portfolio’s investments are valued each business day by independent pricing services. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Investments in other mutual funds are valued at the net asset value per share. Fixed income securities and options are valued on the basis of the closing bid price. Futures contracts are valued on the basis of the last sale price. Money market instruments maturing within 60 days of the valuation date are valued at amortized cost, a method by which each money market instrument is initially valued at cost, and thereafter a constant accretion or amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the security. The Portfolio may value securities for which market quotations are not readily available at “fair value,” as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees.
The Portfolio adopted provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures that define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. This applies to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is intended to increase consistency of those measurements and apply broadly to securities and other types of assets and liabilities. In
17
State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements — (continued)
December 31, 2013
accordance with these provisions, fair value is defined as the price that the Portfolio would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments.
The three tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
| • | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
| • | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of December 31, 2013, in valuing the Portfolio’s assets carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Description | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
* | Only unsettled receivable/payable for variation margin is reported within Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
The type of inputs used to value each security under the provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures is identified in the Portfolio of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Portfolio’s investments by category.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no transfers between levels.
Securities transactions, investment income and expenses – Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on investments. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Expenses are accrued daily based on average daily net assets. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on portfolio investments are included in the net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations.
18
State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements — (continued)
December 31, 2013
All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata among the partners in the Portfolio on a daily basis based on each partner’s daily ownership percentage.
Federal income taxes – The Portfolio is not required to pay federal income taxes on its net investment income and net capital gains because it is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. All interest, dividends, gains and losses of the Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the Portfolio’s partners in proportion to their holdings in the Portfolio, regardless of whether such items have been distributed by the Portfolio. Each partner is responsible for tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
The Portfolio has reviewed the tax positions for open years as of and during the year ended December 31, 2013, and determined it did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses. The Portfolio recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of December 31, 2013, tax years 2010 through 2013 remain subject to examination by the Portfolio’s major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
At December 31, 2013, the tax cost of investments was $1,306,661,947 on a federal tax basis. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation was $1,442,890,581 and $13,680,860, respectively, resulting in net appreciation of $1,429,209,721 for all securities as computed on a federal income tax basis.
Futures – The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts as part of its strategy to track the performance of the S&P 500® Index. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the broker cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Variation margin payments are made or received by the Portfolio each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security or index, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio, which is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed, which is recorded on the Statement of Operations. The Portfolio voluntarily segregates securities in an amount equal to the outstanding value of the open futures contracts in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission requirements.
The Portfolio adopted provisions surrounding Derivatives and Hedging which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.
The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. To the extent permitted by the investment objective, restrictions and policies set forth in the Portfolio’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Portfolio may participate in various derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are instruments or agreements whose value is derived from an underlying security or index. The Portfolio’s use of derivatives includes futures. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Portfolio in meeting its investment objective. The Portfolio typically uses derivatives in two ways: cash equitization and return enhancement. Cash equitization is a technique that may be used by the Portfolio
19
State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements — (continued)
December 31, 2013
through the use of options and futures to earn “market-like” returns with the Portfolio’s excess and liquidity reserve cash balances and receivables. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in the Portfolio. By purchasing certain instruments, the Portfolio may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio characteristics that assist in meeting the Portfolio’s investment objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized, the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks are generally categorized as market risk, liquidity risk and counterparty or credit risk.
The following table, grouped into appropriate risk categories, discloses the amounts related to the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and hedging activities at December 31, 2013:
Asset Derivatives(1)
| | | | | | |
| | Equity Contracts Risk | | Total | |
Futures Contracts | | $1,717,967 | | $ | 1,717,967 | |
Transactions in derivative instruments during the year ended December 31, 2013, were as follows:

(2) | Statement of Operations location: Net realized gain (loss) on: Futures contracts |
(3) | Statement of Operations location: Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on: Futures contracts |
The average notional value of futures contracts outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $53,978,780.
Use of estimates – The Portfolio’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that these differences could be material.
3. Securities Transactions
For the year ended December 31, 2013, purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments and futures contracts, aggregated to $151,884,186 and $88,744,722, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements — (continued)
December 31, 2013
4. Related Party Fees and Transactions
The Portfolio has entered into an investment advisory agreement with SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSgA FM” or the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which SSgA FM directs the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with its investment objective, policies, and limitations. The Trust has contracted with State Street to provide custody, administration and transfer agent services to the Portfolio. In compensation for SSgA FM’s services as investment adviser and for State Street’s services as administrator, custodian and transfer agent (and for assuming ordinary operating expenses of the Portfolio, including ordinary legal, audit and trustees expense), State Street receives a unitary fee, calculated daily, at the annual rate of 0.045% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Certain investments made by the Portfolio were made in securities affiliated with State Street and SSgA FM. Investments in State Street Corporation, the holding company of State Street, were made according to its representative portion of the S&P 500® Index. The market value of this investment at December 31, 2013 is listed in the Portfolio of Investments.
5. Trustees’ Fees
Each Independent Trustee receives for his or her services a $100,000 retainer in addition to $5,000 for each in-person meeting and $1,250 for each telephonic meeting from the Trust. The Chairman receives an additional $30,000 annual retainer and the Audit Committee Chair receives an additional $10,000 annual retainer.
6. Indemnifications
The Trust’s organizational documents provide that its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, both in some of its principal service contracts and in the normal course of its business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against the Trust. Management does not expect any significant claims.

State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of State Street Master Funds and
Owners of Beneficial Interest of State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) (one of the portfolios constituting State Street Master Funds) as of December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio, one of the portfolios constituting State Street Master Funds, at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Accordingly, the Board of Trustees of the Trust solicited a vote by the interestholders for the following items:
Shareholders were asked to participate in a special meeting of shareholders on December 19, 2013. The meeting was subsequently adjourned and the final results will be reported in the next semi-annual report to shareholders.
Advisory Agreement Renewal
The Board of Trustees of the Trust met on November 12, 2013 (the “November Meeting” or “Meeting”) to consider the renewal of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio (the “Advisory Agreement”). In preparation for considering renewal of the Advisory Agreement at the November Meeting, the Independent Trustees convened a special telephonic meeting on October 10, 2013 (the “Preliminary Meeting”), at which they reviewed renewal materials provided by the Adviser, which they had requested through independent counsel, and discussed the materials with counsel and representatives of the Adviser. In the course of the Preliminary Meeting they requested additional materials from the Adviser and State Street, which were subsequently provided in advance of the November Meeting along with updates of certain of the original materials. At the November Meeting, in deciding whether to renew the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered various factors, including (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, (ii) the investment performance of the Portfolio and the Adviser, (iii) the costs to the Adviser of its services and the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Trust, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if and as the Trust grows and whether the fee levels in the Advisory Agreement reflect these economies of scale, and (v) any additional benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Trustees relied on their prior direct experience as Trustees of the Trust as well as on the materials provided in advance of the November Meeting. The Trustees reviewed the Adviser’s responsibilities under the Advisory
23
State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
General Information — (continued)
December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
Advisory Agreement Renewal — (continued)
Agreement and noted the experience and expertise that would be appropriate to expect of an adviser to the Portfolio, which is an index fund. The Trustees reviewed the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for the investment and compliance operations relating to the investments of the Portfolio, and the responsibilities of the latter with respect to the Portfolio. They also considered the resources, operational structures and practices of the Adviser in managing the Portfolio’s investments, in monitoring and securing the Portfolio’s compliance with its investment objective and investment policies and with applicable laws and regulations, and in seeking best execution of portfolio transactions. The Trustees also considered information about the Adviser’s overall investment management business, noting that the Adviser manages assets for a variety of institutional investors and that the Adviser and its affiliates had over $2.17 trillion in assets under management at August 31, 2013, including over $304 billion managed by the Adviser. They reviewed information regarding State Street’s business continuity and disaster recovery program. Drawing upon the materials provided and their general knowledge of the business of the Adviser, the Trustees noted the significant experience, resources and strength of the Adviser in the management of a variety of index products. As discussed more fully below, they also determined that the advisory fee paid by the Portfolio was fair and reasonable and that the Portfolio’s performance and expense ratio were acceptable. On the basis of this review, the Trustees determined that the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser to the Portfolio were appropriate and had been of good quality.
The Trustees determined, in view of the investment objective of the Portfolio and after review and discussion of the available data and of a memorandum discussing the recent performance of the Portfolio supplied by the Adviser at the Independent Trustees’ request, that the investment performance was acceptable. The Trustees noted that the performance of the Portfolio in absolute terms was not of the importance that normally attaches to that of actively-managed funds. Of more importance to the Trustees was the extent to which the Portfolio achieved its objective of replicating, before expenses, the total return of the S&P 500 Index. Drawing upon information provided at the Meeting and upon reports provided to the Trustees by the Adviser throughout the preceding year, they determined that the Portfolio had in fact tracked the index within an acceptable range of tracking error. They concluded that performance of the Portfolio was satisfactory.
The Trustees considered the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliate, State Street, of the advisory relationships with the Trust. (They noted at the outset that the issue of profitability would not arise with respect to SSGM, also an affiliate of the Adviser, because of the fact that SSGM receives no compensation from the feeder fund and, by implication, the Portfolio.) The Trustees had been provided with data regarding the profitability to the Adviser and State Street with respect to the Portfolio individually, and on an aggregate basis with the other feeder funds and master portfolios overseen by the Trustees (together, the “Funds and Portfolios”), for the year ended December 31, 2012, and for the four prior years. Having discussed with representatives of the Adviser the methodologies used in computing the costs that formed the bases of the profitability calculations, they concluded that these methodologies appeared reasonable and turned to the data provided. After discussion and analysis they concluded that, to the extent that the Adviser’s and State Street’s relationships with the Trust had been profitable to either or both of those entities during the period for which information had been provided, the profitability was in no case such as to render the advisory fee excessive, especially in light of the competitive levels of the fees paid to the Adviser and State Street by the Trust.

State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio

December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
Advisory Agreement Renewal — (continued)
In order better to evaluate the Portfolio’s advisory fee, the Trustees had requested comparative information from Lipper Inc. with respect to fees paid by, and expense ratios of, similar funds not managed by the Adviser. The Trustees found that the Portfolio’s advisory fee and total expense ratio were lower than the average for its Lipper peer group; after discussion, they concluded that the data available provided confirmation of the reasonableness of the Adviser’s fee.
In addition, the Trustees considered other advisory fees paid to the Adviser and its affiliate, State Street Global Advisors (“SSgA”). They noted that, as a general matter, fees paid to the Adviser by other, similar mutual funds sponsored by State Street tended to be higher than the fees paid by the Portfolio, with some exceptions, whereas fees paid by mutual funds for which the Adviser acted as sub-adviser and by institutional accounts managed by SSgA tended to be lower than those paid by the Portfolio, again with some exceptions; in considering these fees, the Trustees reviewed and discussed a memorandum prepared by the Adviser discussing the differences between the services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser and those provided to sub-advised funds and other types of institutional clients. The Trustees determined that, in light of these significant differences, the fees paid by sub-advised funds and other types of clients were of limited utility for purposes of comparison with those of the Portfolio, but that to the extent that meaningful comparison was practicable, the differences in services satisfactorily accounted for differences in the fees. The Trustees determined that the Adviser’s fee was fair and reasonable.
In considering whether the Adviser benefits in other ways from its relationship with the Trust, the Trustees also considered whether the Adviser’s affiliates may benefit from the Trust’s relationship with State Street as fund administrator, custodian and transfer agent and with SSGM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street, as principal underwriter for the Trust. They noted, among other things, that the Adviser utilizes no soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Portfolio’s brokerage transactions to obtain third-party (non-proprietary research) services. The Trustees concluded that, to the extent that the Adviser or its affiliates derive other benefits from their relationships with the Trust, those benefits are not so significant as to render the Adviser’s fee excessive.
The Trustees also considered the extent to which economies of scale may be realized by the Portfolio as assets grow and whether the Portfolio’s fee levels reflect such economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of investors. In considering the matter, the Trustees determined that, to the extent that economies of scale were in fact being realized, such economies of scale were shared with the Portfolio by virtue of an advisory fee of a comparatively low level that subsumed economies of scale in the fee itself. The Trustees also recognized, however, that should sustained, substantial asset growth be realized in the future, it might be appropriate to consider additional measures.
On the basis of the foregoing discussions and determinations, without any one factor being dispositive, the Trustees decided to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
As of the end of the period, December 31, 2013, State Street Master Funds (the “Trust” or “Registrant”) has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR, that applies to the Trust’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party (the “Code of Ethics”). The Trust has not made amendments to its Code of Ethics during the covered period. The Trust has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the covered period. A copy of the Trust’s code of ethics is filed as Exhibit 12(a)(1) to this Form N-CSR.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has determined that the Trust has the following “audit committee financial experts” as defined in Item 3(b) of Form N-CSR serving on its Audit Committee: Messrs. Michael F. Holland, William L. Boyan and
Douglas T. Williams and Ms. Rina K. Spence. Each of the audit committee financial experts is “independent” as that term is defined in Item 3(a)(2) of Form N-CSR.
An “audit committee financial expert” is not an “expert” for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated as an “audit committee financial expert.” Further, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not mean that the person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those imposed on the person without the “audit committee financial expert” designation. Similarly, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or Board of Trustees.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate audit fees billed for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), the Trust’s principal accountant, for the audit of the Trust’s annual financial statements or services normally provided by E&Y in connection with the Trust’s statutory and regulatory filings and engagements were $177,600 and $177,600, respectively.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no fees for assurance and related services by E&Y reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Trust’s financial statements that were not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | (c) | | Tax Fees |
| | |
| | | | The aggregate tax fees billed for professional services rendered by E&Y for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning in the form of preparation of excise filings and income tax returns for the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $39,578 and $39,578, respectively. |
| | |
| | (d) | | All Other Fees |
| | |
| | | | For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no fees billed for professional services rendered by E&Y for products and services provided by E&Y to the Trust, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c). |
| | |
| | | | For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate fees for professional services rendered by E&Y for products and services provided by E&Y to SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Trust that (i) relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust and (ii) were pre-approved by the Trust’s audit committee were approximately $7,426,155 and $7,369,600, respectively. |
| | |
| | (e)(1) | | Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures |
| | |
| | | | The Trust’s Audit Committee Charter states the following with respect to pre-approval procedures: |
| | | |
| | | | | | “Pre-Approval Requirements. Before the independent accountants are engaged by the Trust to render audit or non-audit services, either: |
| | | | | |
| | | | | | | | 1. | | The Audit Committee shall pre-approve all auditing services and permissible non-audit services (e.g., tax services) provided to the Trust. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to grant pre-approvals. Any decision of any member to whom authority is delegated under this section shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting; or |
| | | | | |
| | | | | | | | 2. | | The engagement to render the auditing service or permissible non-audit service is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee. Any such policies and procedures must (1) be detailed as to the particular service and (2) not involve any delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to the investment adviser. The Audit Committee must be informed of each service entered into pursuant to the policies and procedures. A copy of any such policies and procedures shall be attached as an exhibit to the Audit Committee Charter. |
De Minimis Exceptions to Pre-Approval Requirements. Pre-Approval for a service provided to the Trust other than audit, review or attest services is not required if: (1) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided to the Trust constitutes not more than 5 percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the Trust to the independent accountants during the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by the Trust at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and are approved by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit.
Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to the Adviser and Certain Control Persons. The Audit Committee shall pre-approve any non-audit services proposed to be provided by the independent accountants to (a) the investment adviser and (b) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Trust, if the independent accountants’ engagement with the investment adviser or any such control persons relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust. It shall be the responsibility of the independent accountants to notify the Audit Committee of any non-audit services that need to be pre-approved.
Application of De Minimis Exception: The De Minimis exception set forth above applies to pre-approvals under this Section as well, except that the “total amount of revenues” calculation is based on the total amount of revenues paid to the independent accountants by the Trust and any other entity that has its services approved under this Section (i.e., the investment adviser or any control person).”
| (e)(2) | Percentages of Services |
None of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item were performed in reliance on
paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during the period of time for which such rule was effective.
| (g) | Total Fees Paid By Adviser and Certain Affiliates |
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate non-audit fees billed by E&Y for services rendered to the Trust and the Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provided ongoing services to the Trust were approximately $19,400,000 and $22,900,000, respectively.
| (h) | E&Y notified the Trust’s Audit Committee of all non-audit services that were rendered by E&Y to the Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides services to the Trust, which services were not required to be pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, allowing the Trust’s Audit Committee to consider whether such services were compatible with maintaining E&Y’s independence. |

(a) Schedule of Investments is included as part of Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.

STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET INSTITUTIONAL INVESTMENT TRUST
NOMINATING COMMITTEE CHARTER
SEPTEMBER 19, 2013
Mission Statement
The Board of Trustees (each, a “Board”) of each of State Street Institutional Investment Trust and State Street Master Funds (each, a “Trust”) has adopted this charter to govern the activities of the Nominating Committee of each Board (each, a “Nominating Committee”). This Charter applies separately to each Trust, and the Board and Nominating Committee thereof, and shall be interpreted accordingly. Unless otherwise stated herein or required by the context, each singular reference herein to the Board, Trust and Nominating Committee shall be construed as a reference to each Trust or Board or Nominating Committee thereof, as applicable.
The Nominating Committee is a committee of the Board created to assist the Board in fulfilling its duty to fill vacancies in the Board. The Nominating Committee of the Board is responsible for evaluating and recommending the nomination of candidates for election as independent trustees of the Trust.
The scope of the Nominating Committee’s responsibilities and its structure, process and membership requirements are set forth in this charter (the “Charter”).
Organization
The membership of the Nominating Committee shall consist entirely of those trustees who are not “interested persons,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Independent Trustees”), of the Trust; however, the Nominating Committee need not be comprised of all of the Independent Trustees.
The Nominating Committee may designate one or more members to serve as Chair or Co-Chair of the Nominating Committee, as the case may be, but need not make such a designation.
The Nominating Committee shall report to the Board of Trustees as to the results of its meetings and activities.
Authority and Responsibilities
The Nominating Committee, in discharging its responsibilities under this Charter, may, in addition to other actions it deems appropriate, consider taking one or more of the actions described below:
1. | To make nominations for Independent Trustee membership on the Board. A potential nominee must have a college degree or equivalent business experience. The Nominating Committee may take into account a wide variety of factors in considering potential nominees, including (but not limited to): (i) availability and commitment of a candidate to attend meetings and perform his or her responsibilities on the Board, (ii) relevant industry and related experience, (iii) educational background, (iv) financial expertise, (v) ability, judgment and expertise and (vi) overall diversity of the Board’s composition. |
2 | When identifying potential nominees for a Board, the Nominating Committee may consider candidates recommended by the following sources: (i) a Trust’s current Trustees; (ii) the Trust’s officers; (iii) the Trust’s investment adviser, sub-advisers or administrator; (iv) shareholders of the Trust (see below); or (v) any other source the Nominating Committee deems to be appropriate. The Nominating Committee may, but is not required to, retain a third party search firm at the applicable Trust’s expense to identify potential candidates. |
3. | To consider nominee candidates properly submitted in accordance with Appendix A by shareholders of the Trust on the same basis as it considers and evaluates candidates recommended by other sources. |
4. | To review Nominating Committee Chair or Co-Chair assignments and Nominating Committee assignments periodically. |
5. | To consider the structure, operations and effectiveness of the Nominating Committee and review this Charter periodically. |
6. | To meet as frequently and at such times as circumstances dictate. |
7. | To hire (and compensate) from time to time independent counsel and any other expert deemed necessary by the Nominating Committee to perform its duties. |
The Nominating Committee shall have the resources to discharge all of its responsibilities, including but not limited to the authority to select, retain, terminate and approve the fees and other retention terms of special or independent counsel or any other advisers determined to be necessary or appropriate without seeking approval of management of the Trust. Costs incurred by the Nominating Committee in performing its functions under this Charter shall be borne by the Trust.

Appendix A
Procedures for Shareholders to Submit Nominee Candidates
(As of September 19, 2013)
A shareholder of the Trust, or of any series thereof, if applicable, must follow the following procedures in order to submit properly a nominee recommendation for the Nominating Committee’s consideration.
| 1. | The shareholder must submit any such recommendation (a “Shareholder Recommendation”) in writing to the Trust, to the attention of the Trust’s Secretary, at the address of the principal executive offices of the Trust. |
| 2. | The Shareholder Recommendation must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Trust not less than sixty (60) calendar days nor more than ninety (90) calendar days prior to the date of the Board or shareholder meeting at which the nominee candidate would be considered for election. Shareholder Recommendations will be kept on file for two years after receipt of the Shareholder Recommendation. A Shareholder Recommendation considered by the Nominating Committee in connection with the Nominating Committee’s nomination of any candidate(s) for appointment or election as an independent Trustee need not be considered again by the Nominating Committee in connection with any subsequent nomination(s). |
| 3. | The Shareholder Recommendation must include: (i) a statement in writing setting forth (A) the name, age, date of birth, business address, residence address and nationality of the person recommended by the shareholder (the “candidate”), and the names and addresses of at least three professional references; (B) the number of all shares of the Trust (including the series and class, if applicable) owned of record or beneficially by the candidate, the date such shares were acquired and the investment intent of such acquisition(s), as reported to such shareholder by the candidate; (C) any other information regarding the candidate called for with respect to director nominees by paragraphs (a), (d), (e) and (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K or paragraph (b) of Item 22 of Rule 14a-101 (Schedule 14A) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (or the corresponding provisions of any applicable regulation or rule subsequently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor agency with jurisdiction related to the Trust); (D) any other information regarding the candidate that would be required to be disclosed if the candidate were a nominee in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitation of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any other applicable law or regulation; and (E) whether the recommending shareholder believes that the candidate is or will be an “interested person” of the Trust (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and, if not an “interested person,” information regarding the candidate that will be sufficient, in the discretion of the Board or the Nominating Committee, for the Trust to make such determination; (ii) the written and signed consent of the candidate to be named as a nominee and to serve as a Trustee if elected; (iii) the recommending shareholder’s name as it appears on the Trust’s books; (iv) the number of all shares of the Trust (including the series and class, if applicable) owned beneficially and of record by the recommending shareholder; (v) a complete description of all arrangements or understandings between the recommending shareholder and the candidate and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the recommendation is being made by the recommending shareholder including, without limitation, all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings between the candidate and recommending shareholder during the past three years, and (vi) a brief description of the candidate’s relevant background and experience for membership on the Board, such as qualification as an audit committee financial expert. |
| 4. | The Nominating Committee may require the recommending shareholder to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require or deem necessary to verify any information furnished pursuant to paragraph 3 above or to determine the eligibility of the candidate to serve as a Trustee of the Trust or to satisfy applicable law. If the recommending shareholder fails to provide such other information in writing within seven days of receipt of a written request from the Nominating Committee, the recommendation of such candidate as a nominee will be deemed not properly submitted for consideration, and the Nominating Committee will not be required to consider such candidate. |
Item 11. Controls and Procedures.
(a) The Trust’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the registrant on Form N-CSR is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report, that includes the disclosure required by this paragraph, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act and
Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(b) There were no changes in the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act) that occurred during the Trust’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this Form N-CSR filing that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting.
