STATE STREET MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2021
1. Organization
State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.
As of December 31, 2021, the Trust consists of six (6) series each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The State Street Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with no par value. The financial statements herein relate only to the Portfolio.
The Portfolio operates as a floating net asset value (“NAV”) money market fund. As a floating NAV money market fund, the Portfolio (1) will utilize current market-based prices (except as otherwise generally permitted to value individual portfolio securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at amortized cost in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance) to value its portfolio securities and transact at a floating NAV calculated to four decimal places; and (2) has adopted policies and procedures to impose liquidity fees on redemptions and/or temporary redemption gates in the event that the Portfolio’s weekly liquid assets fall below a designated threshold.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Portfolio is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation
The Portfolio's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of the Portfolio are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board"). The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Portfolio. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio's investments by major category are as follows:
• Government and municipal fixed income securities are generally valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers.
• Debt obligations (including short-term investments) are valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers or are generally valued at the last reported evaluated prices.
• Repurchase agreements are valued at the repurchase price as of valuation date.
In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that the application of these valuation methods results in a price for an investment that is deemed to be not representative of the fair value of such investment, fair value will be determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments.
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2021
The Portfolio values its assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments are determined using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.
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.
Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Portfolio, are applied to that Portfolio within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Portfolio are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Portfolio within the Trust.
3. Securities and Other Investments
Repurchase Agreements
The 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 sells securities to the Portfolio to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon price and time. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Portfolio including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.
The Portfolio monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the Portfolio’s principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). The underlying securities are ordinarily United States Government or Government Agency securities, but may consist of other securities. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks including counterparty risks. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which the value of the collateral may decline.
As of December 31, 2021, the Portfolio had invested in repurchase agreements with the gross values of $2,611,000,000 and associated collateral equal to $2,723,602,622.

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory and Administrator Fee
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which the Adviser directs the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with its investment objective, policies, and limitations. In compensation for the Adviser’s services as investment adviser, the Portfolio pays the Adviser a management fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of its average daily net assets. SSGA FM also serves as administrator.
Each of the Adviser and State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors, LLC (each a “Service Provider”) also may voluntarily reduce all or a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses for the Portfolio to the extent necessary to maintain a certain minimum net yield, which may vary from time to time, in SSGA FM’s sole discretion (any such waiver or reimbursement of expenses by a Service Provider being referred to herein as a “Voluntary Reduction”). The Adviser may, in its sole discretion, implement the Voluntary Reduction for some series of the Trust and not others. The amount of any Voluntary Reduction may differ between such series in the Adviser's sole discretion. The business objectives of the Adviser and its affiliates and their broader relationships with certain Portfolio shareholders, Financial Intermediaries or distribution channels could give the Adviser an incentive to implement the Voluntary Reduction for some series of the Trust and not others, or to implement it to a greater degree for some series or share classes than others. Under an agreement with the Service Providers relating to the Voluntary Reduction, the Portfolio has agreed to reimburse the Service Providers for the full dollar amount of any Voluntary Reduction beginning on May 1, 2020, subject to certain limitations. Each Service Provider may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably waive receipt of any or all reimbursement amounts due from the Portfolio.
A reimbursement to the Service Provider would increase fund expenses and may negatively impact the Portfolio's yield during such period. There is no guarantee that the Voluntary Reduction will be in effect at any given time or that the Portfolio will be able to avoid a negative yield.
There were no reimbursements for the period ended December 31, 2021.
Custodian, Sub-Administrator and Transfer Agent Fees
State Street serves as the custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent to the Portfolio. For its services as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent, the Portfolio pays State Street an annual fee. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
Due to Custodian
In certain circumstances, the Portfolio may have cash overdrafts with the custodian due to expense payments, capital transactions, trading of securities, investment operations or derivative transactions. The Due to custodian amount if any, reflects cash overdrawn with State Street as custodian who is an affiliate of the Portfolio.
5. Trustees’ Fees
The fees and expenses of Independent Trustees, are paid directly by the Portfolio. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.
6. Income Tax Information
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, 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 its tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
The Portfolio files federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. SSGA FM has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.

7. Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Portfolio's ability to invest a large percentage of its assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Portfolio’s investments more than if the Portfolio was more broadly diversified.
Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio trades securities and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in global economic conditions and fluctuations of the market (market risk). Additionally, the Portfolio may also be exposed to counterparty risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults. The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations (credit risk).
Financial assets, which potentially expose the Portfolio to market, credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Portfolio’s exposure to market, credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their value as recorded in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Portfolio.
The Portfolio's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets experienced and may continue to experience extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments was and may continue to be disrupted as a result. Liquidity for many instruments was and may continue to be greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the Portfolio by its service providers.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging

relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The relief provided is temporary and generally cannot be applied to contract modifications that occur after December 31, 2022, or hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after that date. However, the FASB has indicated that it will revisit the sunset date in Topic 848 after the LIBOR administrator makes a final decision on a phaseout date. On November 30, 2020, the LIBOR administrator proposed extending the publication of the overnight and the one-, three-, six- and 12-month USD LIBOR settings through June 30, 2023, when many existing contracts that reference LIBOR will have expired. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance.
9. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of State Street Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) (one of the series constituting State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”)), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2021, 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, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio (one of the series constituting State Street Master Funds) at December 31, 2021, 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.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financials reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Portfolio expenses. 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. It 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, 2021 to December 31, 2021.
The table below illustrates your Portfolio’s cost 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | | Actual | | Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses) |
| Annualized Expense Ratio | | Ending Account Value | | Expenses Paid During Period(a) | | Ending Account Value | | Expenses Paid During Period(a) |
State Street Money Market Portfolio
| 0.07% | | $1,000.40 | | $0.36 | | $1,024.90 | | $0.36 |
(a) | Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized net expense ratio multiplied by the average account value of the period, multiplied by 184, then divided by 365. |
Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures and Records
The Portfolio has adopted the proxy voting policies of the Adviser. A description of the policies and procedures that the Portfolio has adopted to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities are contained in the Portfolio’s Statement of Additional Information, which is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Portfolio at 1-877-521-4083 (toll free) or (ii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how the Portfolio voted proxies, if any, during the 12-month period ended June 30 is available by August 31 of each year without charge (1) by calling 1-877-521-4083 (toll free), or (2) on the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov.
Monthly Portfolio Schedule
The Portfolio files its monthly portfolio holdings with the SEC on Form N-MFP. The Portfolio’s Form N-MFP is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2021
1. Organization
State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.
As of December 31, 2021, the Trust consists of six (6) series each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The State Street ESG Liquid Reserves Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with no par value. The financial statements herein relate only to the Portfolio.
The Portfolio operates as a floating net asset value (“NAV”) money market fund. As a floating NAV money market fund, the Portfolio (1) will utilize current market-based prices (except as otherwise generally permitted to value individual portfolio securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at amortized cost in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance) to value its portfolio securities and transact at a floating NAV calculated to four decimal places; and (2) has adopted policies and procedures to impose liquidity fees on redemptions and/or temporary redemption gates in the event that the Portfolio’s weekly liquid assets fall below a designated threshold.
The Portfolio was formed on December 3, 2019 and commenced operations on December 4, 2019.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Portfolio is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation
The Portfolio's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of the Portfolio are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board"). The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Portfolio. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio's investments by major category are as follows:
• Government and municipal fixed income securities are generally valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers.
• Debt obligations (including short-term investments) are valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers or are generally valued at the last reported evaluated prices.
• Repurchase agreements are valued at the repurchase price as of valuation date.
In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that the application of these valuation methods results in a price for an investment that is deemed to be not representative of the fair value of such investment, fair value will be determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET ESG LIQUID RESERVES PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2021
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments.
The Portfolio values its assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments are determined using the identified cost method.
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.
Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Portfolio, are applied to that Portfolio within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Portfolio are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Portfolio within the Trust.
3. Securities and Other Investments
Repurchase Agreements
The 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 sells securities to the Portfolio to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon price and time. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Portfolio including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.
The Portfolio monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the Portfolio’s principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). The underlying securities are ordinarily United States Government or Government Agency securities, but may consist of other securities. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks including counterparty risks. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which the value of the collateral may decline.
As of December 31, 2021, the Portfolio had invested in repurchase agreements with the gross values of $531,000,000 and associated collateral equal to $547,921,707.
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET ESG LIQUID RESERVES PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory and Administrator Fee
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which the Adviser directs the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with its investment objective, policies, and limitations. In compensation for the Adviser’s services as investment adviser, the Portfolio pays the Adviser a management fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of its average daily net assets. SSGA FM also serves as administrator.
Each of the Adviser and State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors, LLC (each a “Service Provider”) also may voluntarily reduce all or a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses for the Portfolio to the extent necessary to maintain a certain minimum net yield, which may vary from time to time, in SSGA FM’s sole discretion (any such waiver or reimbursement of expenses by a Service Provider being referred to herein as a “Voluntary Reduction”). The Adviser may, in its sole discretion, implement the Voluntary Reduction for some series of the Trust and not others. The amount of any Voluntary Reduction may differ between such series in the Adviser's sole discretion. The business objectives of the Adviser and its affiliates and their broader relationships with certain Portfolio shareholders, Financial Intermediaries or distribution channels could give the Adviser an incentive to implement the Voluntary Reduction for some series of the Trust and not others, or to implement it to a greater degree for some series or share classes than others. Under an agreement with the Service Providers relating to the Voluntary Reduction, the Portfolio has agreed to reimburse the Service Providers for the full dollar amount of any Voluntary Reduction beginning on May 1, 2020, subject to certain limitations. Each Service Provider may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably waive receipt of any or all reimbursement amounts due from the Portfolio.
A reimbursement to the Service Provider would increase fund expenses and may negatively impact the Portfolio's yield during such period. There is no guarantee that the Voluntary Reduction will be in effect at any given time or that the Portfolio will be able to avoid a negative yield.
There were no reimbursements for the period ended December 31, 2021.
Custodian, Sub-Administrator and Transfer Agent Fees
State Street serves as the custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent to the Portfolio. For its services as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent, the Portfolio pays State Street an annual fee. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
5. Trustees’ Fees
The fees and expenses of the Trust’s trustees, who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), are paid directly by the Portfolio. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.
6. Income Tax Information
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, 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 its tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
The Portfolio files federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“the IRS”) for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. SSGA FM has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2021
As of December 31, 2021, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes.
| Tax Cost | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
State Street ESG Liquid Reserves Portfolio
| $1,287,963,479 | | $10,690 | | $123,275 | | $(112,585) |
7. Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Portfolio's ability to invest a large percentage of its assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Portfolio’s investments more than if the Portfolio was more broadly diversified.
Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio trades securities and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in global economic conditions and fluctuations of the market (market risk). Additionally, the Portfolio may also be exposed to counterparty risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults. The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations (credit risk).
Financial assets, which potentially expose the Portfolio to market, credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Portfolio’s exposure to market, credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their value as recorded in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Portfolio.
The Portfolio's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets experienced and may continue to experience extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments was and may continue to be disrupted as a result. Liquidity for many instruments was and may continue to be greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the Portfolio by its service providers.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging

relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The relief provided is temporary and generally cannot be applied to contract modifications that occur after December 31, 2022, or hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after that date. However, the FASB has indicated that it will revisit the sunset date in Topic 848 after the LIBOR administrator makes a final decision on a phaseout date. On November 30, 2020, the LIBOR administrator proposed extending the publication of the overnight and the one-, three-, six- and 12-month USD LIBOR settings through June 30, 2023, when many existing contracts that reference LIBOR will have expired. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance.
9. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio (one of the series constituting State Street Master Funds) at December 31, 2021, 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 two years in the period then ended and the period from December 4, 2019 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Portfolio expenses. 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. It 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, 2021 to December 31, 2021.
The table below illustrates your Portfolio’s cost 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | | Actual | | Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses) |
| Annualized Expense Ratio | | Ending Account Value | | Expenses Paid During Period | | Ending Account Value | | Expenses Paid During Period(a) |
State Street ESG Liquid Reserves Portfolio
| 0.07% | | $1,000.30 | | $0.35 | | $1,024.90 | | $0.36 |
(a) | Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized net expense ratio multiplied by the average account value of the period, multiplied by 184, then divided by 365. |

STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2021
1. Organization
State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.
As of December 31, 2021, the Trust consists of six (6) series, each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with no par value. The financial statements herein relate only to the Portfolio.
The Portfolio operates as a “government money market fund” within the meaning of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act to comply with the amendments to Rule 2a-7 that became effective on October 14, 2016. The Portfolio is not currently subject to liquidity fees or temporary suspensions of redemptions due to declines in the Portfolio's weekly liquid assets.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Portfolio is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation
The investments of the Portfolio are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Portfolio. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
The Portfolio’s securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.
Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation and under certain market conditions, the values reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments and it is possible that the differences could be material.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. The Portfolio values its assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2021
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments are determined using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.
All of the net investment income and realized 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.
Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Portfolio, are applied to that Portfolio within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Portfolio are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Portfolio within the Trust.
3. Securities and Other Investments
Repurchase Agreements
The 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 sells securities to the Portfolio to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon price and time. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Portfolio including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.
The Portfolio monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the Portfolio’s principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). The underlying securities are ordinarily United States Government or Government Agency securities, but may consist of other securities. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks including counterparty risks. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which the value of the collateral may decline.
As of December 31, 2021, the Portfolio had invested in repurchase agreements with the gross values of $58,687,688,148 and associated collateral equal to $59,095,783,683.
4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory and Administrator Fee
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which the Adviser directs the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with its investment objective, policies, and limitations. In compensation for the Adviser’s services as investment adviser, the Portfolio pays the Adviser a management fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of its average daily net assets. SSGA FM also serves as administrator.
Each of the Adviser and State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors, LLC (each a “Service Provider”) also may voluntarily reduce all or a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses for a Portfolio to the extent necessary to maintain a certain minimum net yield, which may vary from time to time, in SSGA FM's sole discretion (any such waiver or reimbursement of expenses by a Service Provider being referred to herein as a “Voluntary Reduction”). The Adviser may, in its sole discretion, implement the Voluntary Reduction for some series of the Trust and not others. The amount of any Voluntary Reduction may differ between such series in the Adviser's sole discretion. The business objectives of the Adviser and its affiliates and their broader relationships with certain Portfolio shareholders, Financial Intermediaries or distribution channels could give the Adviser an incentive to implement
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2021
the Voluntary Reduction for some series of the Trust and not others, or to implement it to a greater degree for some series or share classes than others. Under an agreement with the Service Providers relating to the Voluntary Reduction, the Portfolios have agreed to reimburse the Service Providers for the full dollar amount of any Voluntary Reduction beginning on May 1, 2020, subject to certain limitations. Each Service Provider may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably waive receipt of any or all reimbursement amounts due from a Portfolio.
A reimbursement to the Service Provider would increase fund expenses and may negatively impact the Portfolio's yield during such period. There is no guarantee that the Voluntary Reduction will be in effect at any given time or that the Portfolio will be able to avoid a negative yield.
There were no reimbursements for the period ended December 31, 2021.
Custodian, Sub-Administrator and Transfer Agent Fees
State Street serves as the custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent to the Portfolio. For its services as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent, the Portfolio pays State Street an annual fee. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
5. Trustees’ Fees
The fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), are paid directly by the Portfolio. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.
6. Income Tax Information
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, 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 its tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
The Portfolio files federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“the IRS”) for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. SSGA FM has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.
As of December 31, 2021, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes.
7. Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Portfolio's ability to invest a large percentage of its assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Portfolio’s investments more than if the Portfolio was more broadly diversified.
Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio trades securities and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in global economic conditions and fluctuations of the market (market risk). Additionally, the Portfolio may also be exposed to counterparty risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults. The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations (credit risk).
Financial assets, which potentially expose the Portfolio to market, credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Portfolio’s exposure to market, credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their value as recorded in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Portfolio.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2021
The Portfolio's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets experienced and may continue to experience extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments was and may continue to be disrupted as a result. Liquidity for many instruments was and may continue to be greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to a Portfolio by its service providers.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The relief provided is temporary and generally cannot be applied to contract modifications that occur after December 31, 2022, or hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after that date. However, the FASB has indicated that it will revisit the sunset date in Topic 848 after the LIBOR administrator makes a final decision on a phaseout date. On November 30, 2020, the LIBOR administrator proposed extending the publication of the overnight and the one-, three-, six- and 12-month USD LIBOR settings through June 30, 2023, when many existing contracts that reference LIBOR will have expired. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance.
9. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Owners of Beneficial Interest State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio and the Board of Trustees of State Street Master Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) (one of the series constituting State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”)), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2021, 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, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio (one of the series constituting State Street Master Funds) at December 31, 2021, 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.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financials reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Portfolio expenses. 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. It 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, 2021 to December 31, 2021.
The table below illustrates your Portfolio's cost 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | | Actual | | Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses) |
| Annualized Expense Ratio | | Ending Account Value | | Expenses Paid During Period(a) | | Ending Account Value | | Expenses Paid During Period(a) |
State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio
| 0.06% | | $1,000.00 | | $0.31 | | $1,024.90 | | $0.31 |
(a) | Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized net expense ratio multiplied by the average account value of the period, multiplied by 184, then divided by 365. |

STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2021
1. Organization
State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.
As of December 31, 2021, the Trust consists of six (6) series, each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with no par value. The financial statements herein relate only to the Portfolio.
The Portfolio operates as a “government money market fund” within the meaning of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act to comply with the amendments to Rule 2a-7 that became effective October 14, 2016. The Portfolio is not currently subject to liquidity fees or temporary suspensions of redemptions due to declines in the Portfolio's weekly liquid assets.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Portfolio is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation
The investments of the Portfolio are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Portfolio. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
The Portfolio’s securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.
Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation and under certain market conditions, the values reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments and it is possible that the differences could be material.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. The Portfolio values its assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2021
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments are determined using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.
All of the net investment income and realized 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.
Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Portfolio, are applied to that Portfolio within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Portfolio are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Portfolio within the Trust.
3. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory and Administrator Fee
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which the Adviser directs the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with its investment objective, policies, and limitations. In compensation for the Adviser’s services as investment adviser, the Portfolio pays the Adviser a management fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of its average daily net assets. SSGA FM also serves as administrator.
Each of the Adviser and State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors, LLC (each a “Service Provider”) also may voluntarily reduce all or a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses for the Portfolio to the extent necessary to attempt to maintain a certain minimum net yield, which may vary from time to time, in SSGA FM’s sole discretion (any such waiver or reimbursement of expenses by a Service Provider being referred to herein as a “Voluntary Reduction”). The Adviser may, in its sole discretion, implement the Voluntary Reduction for some series of the Trust and not others. The amount of any Voluntary Reduction may differ between such series in the Adviser's sole discretion. The business objectives of the Adviser and its affiliates and their broader relationships with certain Portfolio shareholders, Financial Intermediaries or distribution channels could give the Adviser an incentive to implement the Voluntary Reduction for some series of the Trust and not others, or to implement it to a greater degree for some series or share classes than others. Under an agreement with the Service Providers relating to the Voluntary Reduction, the Portfolio has agreed to reimburse the Service Providers for the full dollar amount of any Voluntary Reduction beginning on May 1, 2020, subject to certain limitations. Each Service Provider may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably waive receipt of any or all reimbursement amounts due from the Portfolio.
A reimbursement to the Service Provider would increase fund expenses and may negatively impact the Portfolio’s yield during such period. There is no guarantee that the Voluntary Reduction will be in effect at any given time or that the Portfolio will be able to avoid a negative yield.
There were no reimbursements for the period ended December 31, 2021.
Custodian, Sub-Administrator and Transfer Agent Fees
State Street serves as the custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent to the Portfolio. For its services as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent, the Portfolio pays State Street an annual fee. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2021
4. Trustees’ Fees
The fees and expenses of the Trust’s trustees, who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), are paid directly by the Portfolio. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.
5. Income Tax Information
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, 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 its tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
The Portfolio files federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. SSGA FM has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.
As of December 31, 2021, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes.
6. Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Portfolio's ability to invest a large percentage of its assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Portfolio's investments more than if the Portfolio was more broadly diversified.
Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio trades securities and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in global economic conditions and fluctuations of the market (market risk). Additionally, the Portfolio may also be exposed to counterparty risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults. The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations (credit risk).
Financial assets, which potentially expose the Portfolio to market, credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Portfolio’s exposure to market, credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their value as recorded in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Portfolio.
The Portfolio's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets experienced and may continue to experience extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments was and may continue to be disrupted as a result. Liquidity for many instruments was and may continue to be greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO

December 31, 2021
the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the Portfolio by its service providers.
7. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The relief provided is temporary and generally cannot be applied to contract modifications that occur after December 31, 2022, or hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after that date. However, the FASB has indicated that it will revisit the sunset date in Topic 848 after the LIBOR administrator makes a final decision on a phaseout date. On November 30, 2020, the LIBOR administrator proposed extending the publication of the overnight and the one-, three-, six- and 12-month USD LIBOR settings through June 30, 2023, when many existing contracts that reference LIBOR will have expired. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance.
8. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Portfolio expenses. 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. It 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, 2021 to December 31, 2021.
The table below illustrates your Portfolio's cost 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | | Actual | | Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses) |
| Annualized Expense Ratio | | Ending Account Value | | Expenses Paid During Period(a) | | Ending Account Value | | Expenses Paid During Period(a) |
State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio
| 0.06% | | $999.90 | | $0.31 | | $1,024.90 | | $0.31 |
(a) | Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized net expense ratio multiplied by the average account value of the period, multiplied by 184, then divided by 365. |

STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY PLUS MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2021
1. Organization
State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.
As of December 31, 2021, the Trust consists of six (6) series, each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with no par value. The financial statements herein relate only to the Portfolio.
The Portfolio operates as a “government money market fund” within the meaning of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act to comply with the amendments to Rule 2a-7 that became effective on October 14, 2016. The Portfolio is not currently subject to liquidity fees or temporary suspensions of redemptions due to declines in the Portfolio's weekly liquid assets.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Portfolio is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation
The investments of the Portfolio are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Portfolio. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
The Portfolio’s securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.
Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation and under certain market conditions, the values reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments and it is possible that the differences could be material.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. The Portfolio values its assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY PLUS MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2021
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments are determined using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.
All of the net investment income and realized 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.
Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Portfolio, are applied to that Portfolio within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Portfolio are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Portfolio within the Trust.
3. Securities and Other Investments
Repurchase Agreements
The 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 sells securities to the Portfolio to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon price and time. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Portfolio including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.
The Portfolio monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the Portfolio’s principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). The underlying securities are ordinarily United States Government or Government Agency securities, but may consist of other securities. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks including counterparty risks. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which the value of the collateral may decline.
As of December 31, 2021, the Portfolio had invested in repurchase agreements with the gross values of $16,149,234,979 and associated collateral equal to $16,246,560,471.
4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory and Administrator Fee
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which the Adviser directs the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with its investment objective, policies, and limitations. In compensation for the Adviser’s services as investment adviser, the Portfolio pays the Adviser a management fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of its average daily net assets. SSGA FM also serves as administrator.
Each of the Adviser and State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors, LLC (each a “Service Provider”) also may voluntarily reduce all or a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses for the Portfolio to the extent necessary to maintain a certain minimum net yield, which may vary from time to time, in SSGA FM’s sole discretion (any such waiver or reimbursement of expenses by a Service Provider being referred to herein as a “Voluntary Reduction”). The Adviser may, in its sole discretion, implement the Voluntary Reduction for some series of the Trust and not others. The amount of any Voluntary Reduction may differ between such series in the Adviser's sole discretion. The business objectives of the Adviser and its affiliates and their broader relationships with certain Portfolio shareholders, Financial Intermediaries or distribution channels could give the Adviser an incentive to implement
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY PLUS MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2021
the Voluntary Reduction for some series of the Trust and not others, or to implement it to a greater degree for some series or share classes than others. Under an agreement with the Service Providers relating to the Voluntary Reduction, the Portfolio has agreed to reimburse the Service Providers for the full dollar amount of any Voluntary Reduction beginning on May 1, 2020, subject to certain limitations. Each Service Provider may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably waive receipt of any or all reimbursement amounts due from the Portfolio.
A reimbursement to the Service Provider would increase fund expenses and may negatively impact a Portfolio's yield during such period. There is no guarantee that the Voluntary Reduction will be in effect at any given time or that a Portfolio will be able to avoid a negative yield.
There were no reimbursements for the period ended December 31, 2021.
Custodian, Sub-Administrator and Transfer Agent Fees
State Street serves as the custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent to the Portfolio. For its services as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent the Portfolio pays State Street an annual fee. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
5. Trustees’ Fees
The fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), are paid directly by the Portfolio. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.
6. Income Tax Information
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, 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 its tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
The Portfolio files federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. As of December 31, 2021, SSGA FM has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.
As of December 31, 2021, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes.
7. Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Portfolio's ability to invest a large percentage of its assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Portfolio's investments more than if the Portfolio was more broadly diversified.
Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio trades securities and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in global economic conditions and fluctuations of the market (market risk). Additionally, the Portfolio may also be exposed to counterparty risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults. The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations (credit risk).
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY PLUS MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2021
Financial assets, which potentially expose the Portfolio to market, credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Portfolio’s exposure to market, credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their value as recorded in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Portfolio.
The Portfolio's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets experienced and may continue to experience extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments was and may continue to be disrupted as a result. Liquidity for many instruments was and may continue to be greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the Portfolio by its service providers.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The relief provided is temporary and generally cannot be applied to contract modifications that occur after December 31, 2022, or hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after that date. However, the FASB has indicated that it will revisit the sunset date in Topic 848 after the LIBOR administrator makes a final decision on a phaseout date. On November 30, 2020, the LIBOR administrator proposed extending the publication of the overnight and the one-, three-, six- and 12-month USD LIBOR settings through June 30, 2023, when many existing contracts that reference LIBOR will have expired. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance.
9. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY PLUS MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Owners of Beneficial Interest State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio and the Board of Trustees of State Street Master Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) (one of the series constituting State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”)), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2021, 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, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio (one of the series constituting State Street Master Funds) at December 31, 2021, 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.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

OTHER INFORMATION

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Portfolio expenses. 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. It 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, 2021 to December 31, 2021.
The table below illustrates your Portfolio's cost 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | | Actual | | Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses) |
| Annualized Expense Ratio | | Ending Account Value | | Expenses Paid During Period(a) | | Ending Account Value | | Expenses Paid During Period(a) |
State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio
| 0.06% | | $1,000.00 | | $0.31 | | $1,024.90 | | $0.31 |
(a) | Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized net expense ratio multiplied by the average account value of the period, multiplied by 184, then divided by 365. |
Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures and Records
The Portfolio has adopted the proxy voting policies of the Adviser. A description of the policies and procedures that the Portfolio has adopted to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities are contained in the Portfolio’s Statement of Additional Information, which is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Portfolio at 1-877-521-4083 (toll free) or (ii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how the Portfolio voted proxies, if any, during the 12-month period ended June 30 is available by August 31 of each year without charge (1) by calling 1-877-521-4083 (toll free), or (2) on the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov.
Monthly Portfolio Schedule
The Portfolio files its monthly portfolio holdings with the SEC on Form N-MFP. The Portfolio’s Form N-MFP is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

STATE STREET INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPED EQUITY INDEX PORTFOLIO
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (UNAUDITED)
The State Street International Developed Equity Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of a broad-based developed market (ex-U.S. and Canada) large and mid-capitalization equity index over the long term. The Portfolio’s benchmark is the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Portfolio was 11.25%, and the Index was 11.26%. The Portfolio and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Portfolio’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Portfolio, 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 cumulative effect of small weighting differences between the securities and the currencies in the Portfolio and the Index contributed to the difference between the Portfolio’s performance and that of the Index.
The Portfolio had positive performance in the Reporting Period. The first quarter of the Reporting Period had positive performance on the back of strong manufacturing data, accommodative monetary policy and progress in the roll out of vaccines against the COVID-19 virus. Performance in the second quarter of the Reporting Period was also positive as a result of ongoing vaccine distribution and the lifting of mobility restrictions and increased economic activity and despite inflation concerns. The third quarter of the Reporting Period had negative performance as the pace of reopening global economies slowed, the emergence of additional variants of the virus and continued supply-chain bottlenecks. Performance in the fourth quarter of the Reporting Period was positive despite the emergence of the Omicron variant of the virus due to data that suggested the new variant had a lower risk of severe symptoms. Additionally, strong consumer confidence and retail sales helped boost performance.
The Portfolio used MSCI EAFE Index futures contracts in order to gain exposure to the Index during the Reporting Period. The Portfolio’s use of index futures helped the Portfolio track the Index.
On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Portfolio’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Novo Nordisk A/S Class B, Nestle S.A. and ASML Holding NV. The top negative contributors to the Portfolio’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were SoftBank Group Corp., AIA Group Limited, and M3, Inc.
The views expressed above reflect those of the Portfolio’s portfolio manager only through the Reporting Period, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Adviser as a whole. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and the Adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2021
1. Organization
State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.
As of December 31, 2021, the Trust consists of six (6) investment portfolios (together, the “Portfolios”). Financial statements herein relate only to the State Street International Developed Equity Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), which commenced operations on April 29, 2016.
The Portfolio is classified as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Portfolio is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation
The Portfolio's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of the Portfolio are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Portfolio. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio's investments by major category are as follows:
• Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last published sale price or at fair value.
• Rights and warrants are valued at the last reported sale price obtained from independent pricing services or brokers on the valuation date. If no price is obtained from pricing services or brokers, valuation will be based upon the intrinsic value, pursuant to the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.
• Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”) per share or unit.
• Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price on the primary market on which they are traded most extensively. Exchange-traded futures contracts traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last reported sale price obtained from independent pricing services or brokers or at fair value.
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPED EQUITY INDEX PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2021
In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that the application of these valuation methods results in a price for an investment that is deemed to be not representative of the fair value of such investment, fair value will be determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.
A “significant event” is an event that the Board believes, with a reasonably high degree of certainty, has caused the closing market prices of a Fund’s portfolio securities to no longer reflect their value at the time of the Fund’s net asset value calculation. Fair value may be determined using an independent fair value service under valuation procedures approved by the Board. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of foreign securities exchanges. The use of the independent fair value service or alternative fair valuation methods would result in the investments being classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments.
The Portfolio values its assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
The value of the Portfolio’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2021 is disclosed in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments and foreign exchange transactions, if any, are determined using the identified cost method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, or when the information becomes available, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value.
Distributions received by the Portfolio may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains.
All of the net investment income and realized 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.
Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Portfolio, are applied to that Portfolio within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Portfolio are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Portfolio within the Trust.

Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars using exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Foreign Taxes
The Portfolio may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with SSGA Funds Management, Inc.'s (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Portfolio invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Portfolio and are reflected in the Statement of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of December 31, 2021, if any, are disclosed in the Portfolio's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
3. Derivative Financial Instruments
Futures Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts to meet its objectives. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the clearing house. Securities deposited, if any, are designated on the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is shown as Cash at Broker on the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Portfolio equal to the daily change in the contract value, accumulated, exchange rates, and or other transactional fees. The accumulation of those payments are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. The Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.
Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to unfavorable changes in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk that the movements in the price of the futures contracts do not correlate with the movement of the assets underlying such contracts.
For the period ended December 31, 2021, the Portfolio entered into futures contracts for cash equitization, to reduce tracking error and to facilitate daily liquidity.
The following summarizes the value of the Portfolio's derivative instruments as of December 31, 2021, and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory Fee
The Portfolio has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser. For its advisory services to the Portfolio, the Portfolio pays the Adviser a management fee at an annual rate of 0.11% of its average daily net assets.
Administrator, Custodian, Sub-Administrator and Transfer Agent Fees
SSGA FM serves as administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent to the Portfolio. For its services as custodian, sub-administrator, and transfer agent, the Portfolio pays State Street an annual fee. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
Other Transactions with Affiliates - Securities Lending
State Street, an affiliate of the Portfolio, acts as the securities lending agent for the Portfolio, pursuant to an amended and restated securities lending authorization agreement dated January 6, 2017, as amended.
Beginning on January 1, 2022 net proceeds collected by State Street on investment of cash collateral or any fee income less rebates payable to borrowers, are paid as follows: If the calendar year to date net proceeds is below a specified threshold across participating affiliated funds, the Portfolio retains Eighty Five percent (85%) of the net proceeds and Fifteen percent (15%) of such net proceeds is payable to State Street. Starting the business day following the date that calendar year to date net proceeds exceeds a specified threshold, each Fund/Portfolio retains Ninety percent (90%) of the net proceeds and Ten percent (10%) of such net proceeds is payable to State Street. Prior to January 1, 2022, net proceeds were 85% payable to the Portfolio, and 15% payable to State Street.
In addition, cash collateral from lending activities is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Portfolio II, an affiliated fund, for which SSGA FM serves as investment adviser. See Note 8 for additional information regarding securities lending.
Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Portfolio may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street Corporation, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Portfolio owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the period ended December 31, 2021, are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
5. Trustees’ Fees
The fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), are paid directly by the Portfolio. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.
6. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions, derivative contracts and short term investments) for the period ended December 31, 2021, were as follows:

7. Income Tax Information
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, 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 its tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
The Portfolio files federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“the IRS”) for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. As of December 31, 2021, SSGA FM has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.
As of December 31, 2021, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments and other financial instruments based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| Tax Cost | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
State Street International Developed Equity Index Portfolio
| $3,336,946,266 | | $1,256,321,699 | | $295,086,479 | | $961,235,220 |
8. Securities Lending
The Portfolio may lend securities to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The value of the collateral with respect to a loaned security may be temporarily more or less than the value of a security due to market fluctuations of securities values. With respect to each loan, if on any U.S. business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are subject to the loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral on the next business day.
The Portfolio will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Portfolio may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. In addition, the Portfolio will bear the risk of loss of any cash collateral that it may invest. The Portfolio receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as the lending agent. Additionally, the Portfolio will receive a fee from the borrower for non-cash collateral equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities.
The market value of securities on loan as of December 31, 2021, and the value of the invested cash collateral are disclosed in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral is not disclosed in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Portfolio, and the Portfolio does not have the ability to re-hypothecate those securities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Portfolio’s Statement of Operations, represents the income earned from the non-cash collateral and the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as lending agent.
The following is a summary of the Portfolio’s securities lending agreements and related cash and non-cash collateral received as of December 31, 2021:
Portfolio | | Market Value of Securities on Loan | | Cash Collateral Received | | Non-Cash Collateral Received* | | Total Collateral Received |
State Street International Developed Equity Index Portfolio
| | $ 60,960,522 | | $ 21,854,737 | | $ 42,059,870 | | $ 63,914,607 |
* | The non-cash collateral includes U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Government Agency securities. |

9. Line of Credit
The Portfolio and other affiliated funds (each, a “Participant” and collectively, the “Participants”) have access to $200 million of a $1.1 billion revolving credit facility, provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires in October 2022 unless extended or renewed.
The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is calculated based on the unused portion of the shared credit line. Commitment fees are allocated among each of the Participants based on relative net assets. Commitment fees are ordinary fund operating expenses. A Participant incurs and pays the interest expense related to its borrowing. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1.00% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and the one-month SOFR Rate. Prior to October 7, 2021 the Fund had access to $200 million of a $500 million revolving credit facility and interest was calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1.25% plus the New York Fed Bank Rate.
The Portfolio had no outstanding loans as of December 31, 2021.
10. Risks
Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk
Investing in foreign markets involves risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of government regulation, economic, political and social instability in the countries in which the Portfolio invests. Foreign markets may be less liquid than investments in the U.S. and may be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations. To the extent that the Portfolio invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be even more pronounced.
Market Risks
Market prices of investments held by a Portfolio will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. A Portfolio’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile, and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers and general market liquidity. Even if general economic conditions do not change, the value of an investment in a Portfolio could decline if the particular industries, sectors or companies in which the Portfolio invests do not perform well or are adversely affected by events. Further, legal, political, regulatory and tax changes also may cause fluctuations in markets and securities prices. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Portfolio and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments was and may continue to be greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market

disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the Portfolio by its service providers.
11. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Owners of Beneficial Interest of State Street International Developed Equity Index Portfolio and Board of Trustees of State Street Master Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of State Street International Developed Equity Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) (one of the series constituting State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”)), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2021, 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, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio (one of the series constituting State Street Master Funds) at December 31, 2021, 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 the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financials reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It 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, 2021 to December 31, 2021.
The table below illustrates your Portfolio's cost 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 each 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | | Actual | | Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses) |
| Annualized Expense Ratio | | Ending Account Value | | Expenses Paid During Period(a) | | Ending Account Value | | Expenses Paid During Period(a) |
State Street International Developed Equity Index Portfolio
| 0.14% | | $1,021.90 | | $0.71 | | $1,024.50 | | $0.71 |
(a) | Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized net expense ratio multiplied by the average account value of the period, multiplied by 184, then divided by 365. |

Liquidity Risk Management Program
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Portfolio has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”). SSGA FM has been designated by the Board to administer the Portfolio's Program. The Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Portfolio’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Portfolio. Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Portfolio could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Portfolio. During the fiscal year, SSGA FM provided the Board with a report addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and the effectiveness of the Program’s implementation for the period September 2020 through June 2021. As reported to the Board, the Program supported each Portfolio’s ability to honor redemption requests timely and SSGA FM’s management of each Portfolio’s liquidity profile, including during periods of market volatility. SSGA FM reported that the Program operated adequately to meet the requirements of Rule 22e-4 and that the implementation of the Program has been effective.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to your Portfolio’s prospectus for more information regarding the Portfolio’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Portfolio may be subject.
Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures and Records

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, 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 Registrant’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”). That Code comprises written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote: (1) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (2) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Registrant files with, or submits to, the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Registrant; (3) compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations; (4) the prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of violations of the Code; and (5) accountability for adherence to the Code. For the period covered by the report, the Code was combined with other mutual funds advised by SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”). The Registrant has not made any amendments to the Code that relates to any element of the code of ethics definition set forth in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR during the covered period. The Registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the Code during the covered period. A copy of the Code is filed as Exhibit 13(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 (the “Audit Committee”): Messrs. Michael F. Holland, Richard D. Shirk and John R. Costantino and Ms. Donna M. Rapaccioli. 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 amended, 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 the Board.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 $179,484 and $173,811, respectively.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 were $27,827 and $39,747, respectively.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the aggregate fees for professional services rendered by E&Y for products and services provided by E&Y to 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 Audit Committee were approximately $8,904,469 and $7,019,005, 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:
The Audit Committee shall have the following duties and powers:
| • | | To pre-approve engagements by a Trust’s independent auditor for non-audit services to be rendered to the Trust’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Trust, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust; |
| • | | To establish, if deemed necessary or appropriate as an alternative to Audit Committee pre-approval of services to be provided by the independent auditor as required by paragraph (b) above, policies and procedures to permit such services to be pre-approved by other means, such as by action of a designated member or members of the Audit Committee, subject to the requirement that the decision of any member to whom authority is delegated to pre-approve an activity shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting; |
Alternate Pre-Approval Procedure:
| • | | The Chairperson, or a Co-Chairperson, of the Audit Committee is authorized to pre-approve any engagement involving the Trust’s independent auditors to the same extent as the Audit Committee. Any pre-approval decision by the Chairperson, or a Co-Chairperson, under the foregoing authority shall be presented to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. |
| (e)(2) | Percentage 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.
| (f) | Not applicable to the Registrant. |
| (g) | Total Fees Paid By Adviser and Certain Affiliates |
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 $38,000,000 and $36,534,447, 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. |
