STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
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 June 30, 2024, the Trust consists of five (5) 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 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.
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)
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
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 June 30, 2024, the Portfolio had invested in repurchase agreements with the gross values of $2,379,900,000 and associated collateral equal to $2,572,517,578.
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET MONEY MARKET 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 June 30, 2024.
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. 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 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 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, 2023, 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, such as COVID-19, or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2206 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU No. 2022-06 updates and clarifies ASU No. 2020-04, which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered reference rates. The temporary relief provided by ASU No. 2022-06 is effective immediately for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur through December 31, 2024. Management does not expect ASU No. 2022-06 to have a material impact on the financial statements.
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.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
TRUSTEE CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING CONTINUATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT1
Overview of the Contract Review Process
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), an investment advisory agreement between a mutual fund and its investment adviser may continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees or its shareholders, and by a vote of a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (the “Independent Trustees”) cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
Consistent with these requirements, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”), met in person on April 3, 2024 and May 8-9, 2024, including in executive sessions attended by the Independent Trustees, to consider a proposal to approve, with respect to the State Street Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”). Prior to voting on the proposal, the Independent Trustees reviewed information furnished by the Adviser and others reasonably necessary to permit the Board to evaluate the proposal fully. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by counsel who are independent of the Adviser (“Independent Counsel”) in connection with their consideration of approval of the Advisory Agreement. Following the April 3, 2024 meeting, the Independent Trustees submitted questions and requests for additional information to management, and considered management’s responses thereto prior to and at the May 8-9, 2024 meeting. The Independent Trustees considered, among other things, the following:
Information about Performance, Expenses and Fees
| • | A report prepared by an independent third-party provider of investment company data, which includes for the feeder fund for which the Portfolio serves as the master fund in a master-feeder structure (the “Fund”): |
o Comparisons of the Fund’s performance over the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2023, to the performance of an appropriate benchmark provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) for the Fund (the “Benchmark”) and/or a universe of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and policies (the “Performance Group” and/or the “Performance Universe”) constructed by Broadridge;
o Comparisons of the Fund’s expense ratio (with detail of component expenses) to the expense ratios of a group of comparable mutual funds selected by the independent third-party data provider (the “Expense Group” and/or “Expense Universe”);
o A chart showing the Fund’s historical average net assets relative to its total expenses, management fees, and non-management expenses over the past five calendar years; and
o Comparisons of the Fund’s contractual management fee to the contractual management fees of comparable mutual funds at different asset levels.
__________________________
1 Over the course of many years overseeing the Portfolio and other investment companies, the Independent Trustees have identified numerous relevant issues, factors and concerns ("issues, factors and concerns") that they consider each year in connection with the proposed continuation of the advisory agreement, the administration agreement, the distribution plans, the distribution agreement and various related-party service agreements (the "annual review process"). The statement of issues, factors and concerns and the related conclusions of the Independent Trustees may not change substantially from year to year. However, the information requested by, and provided to, the Independent Trustees with respect to the issues, factors and concerns and on which their conclusions are based is updated annually and, in some cases, may differ substantially from the previous year. The Independent Trustees schedule annually a separate in-person meeting that is dedicated to the annual review process (the "special meeting"). At the special meeting and throughout the annual review process, the Independent Trustees take a fresh look at each of the issues, factors and concerns in light of the latest available information and each year present one or more sets of comments and questions to management with respect to specific issues, factors and concerns. Management responds to such comments and questions to the satisfaction of the Independent Trustees before the annual review process is completed and prior to the Independent Trustees voting on proposals to approve continuation of the agreements and plans.

In addition to the information identified above, the Board considered information provided from time to time by the Adviser and other service providers of the Portfolio throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to the performance of the Portfolio and the investment strategies used in pursuing the Portfolio’s investment objective.
The Independent Trustees were assisted throughout the contract review process by their Independent Counsel. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement, and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to the Advisory Agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the Portfolio.
Results of the Process
Based on a consideration of the foregoing and such other information as deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, at the meeting held on May 8-9, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement effective June 1, 2024, for an additional year with respect to the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing particular markets, industries and specific issuers of securities in these markets and industries. The Board also considered the substantial expertise of the Adviser in developing and applying proprietary quantitative models for managing various funds that invest primarily in money market instruments. The Board considered the extensive experience and resources committed by the Adviser to risk management, including with respect to investment risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, counterparty risk and model risk. Further, the Board considered material enhancements made to the risk management processes and systems over the past year. The Trustees also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Portfolio, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks. The Board also took into account the compensation paid to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management, as well as the Adviser’s succession planning process.
The Board had previously reviewed the compliance programs of SSGA FM and various Affiliated Service Providers. Among other things, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity, the allocation of investment opportunities and the voting of proxies.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the Adviser can be expected to continue to provide high quality investment management and related services for the Portfolio.
Portfolio Performance
The Board considered the Portfolio’s performance by evaluating the performance of the Fund. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark and universe of comparable mutual funds for various time periods ended December 31, 2023. For purposes of these comparisons the Independent Trustees relied extensively on the Performance Group, Performance Universe and Benchmark and the analyses of the related data provided by Broadridge. Among other information, the Board considered the following performance information in its evaluation of the Portfolio:
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
Money Market Funds, Generally. The Board noted the relatively narrow range of returns in each Fund’s Performance Group and Performance Universe. The Board also observed that several basis points of performance, whether from yield on portfolio investments or fees waived by service providers, accounted for substantial differences in performance relative to other funds in such Performance Group and Performance Universe during periods when preservation of capital and net asset value were generally considered by stockholders to have been more important than several basis points of yield.
State Street Institutional Liquid Reserves Fund and State Street Money Market Portfolio. The Board considered that the Fund’s performance was above the medians of its Performance Group and Performance Universe for the 1-, 3-, 5 and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund’s performance was above the Benchmark for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed the contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by the Portfolio and actual fees paid by the Fund, net of waivers. As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio, including the portion attributable to administrative services provided by SSGA FM (both before and after giving effect to any expense caps), as compared to its Expense Group and Expense Universe, as constructed by Broadridge, and the related Broadridge analysis for the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser to the fees charged and services provided to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional accounts. The Board considered the investment advisory fee in the context of the overall master-feeder arrangement with the Fund. Among other information, the Board considered the following expense information in its evaluation of the Portfolio:
State Street Institutional Liquid Reserves Fund and State Street Money Market Portfolio. The Board considered that the Fund’s actual management fee was below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Fund’s total expenses were below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the fees and the expense ratio of the Fund compare favorably to the fees and expenses of the Expense Group and Expense Universe and the fees and the expense ratio of the Portfolio are reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates in providing investment advisory and other services to the Portfolio and to all funds within the fund complex. The Board considered other direct and indirect benefits received by the Adviser and Affiliated Service Providers in connection with their relationships with the Portfolio, together with the profitability of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to their services to the Portfolio and/or fund complex. The Board also considered the various risks borne by SSGA FM and State Street in connection with their various roles in servicing the Trust, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks.
The Board concluded that the profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Portfolio, and the profitability range of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to its services to the Portfolio, were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Portfolio and the fund complex, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Portfolio and fund complex increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of the Portfolio or the fund complex taken as a whole. The Board concluded that, in light of the current size of the Portfolio and the fund complex, the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Portfolio and the fund complex over various time periods, and the comparative management fee and expense ratio of the Fund during these periods, it does not appear that the Adviser or its affiliates has realized benefits from economies of scale in managing the assets of the Portfolio to such an extent that previously agreed advisory fees should be reduced or that breakpoints in such fees should be implemented for the Portfolio at this time.

Conclusions
In reaching its decision to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as being controlling, but based its recommendation on each of the factors it considered. Each Trustee may have contributed different weight to the various factors. Based upon the materials reviewed, the representations made and the considerations described above, and as part of its deliberations, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Adviser possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement.
Further, based upon its review of the Advisory Agreement, the materials provided, and the considerations described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that (1) the terms of the Advisory Agreement are reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders, and (2) the rates payable under the Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made for services of the same nature and quality.

STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
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 June 30, 2024, the Trust consists of five (5) 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. The Portfolio is not currently subject to liquidity fees during periods of high illiquidity in the markets for the investments it holds.
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 rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
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 June 30, 2024, the Portfolio had invested in repurchase agreements with the gross values of $50,457,652,175 and associated collateral equal to $51,590,491,367.
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 the Voluntary Reduction for some series of the Trust and not others, or to implement it to a greater degree for
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
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 June 30, 2024.
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 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, 2023, 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 June 30, 2024, 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.
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
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, such as COVID-19, or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2206 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU No. 2022-06 updates and clarifies ASU No. 2020-04, which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered reference rates. The temporary relief provided by ASU No. 2022-06 is effective immediately for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur through December 31, 2024. Management does not expect ASU No. 2022-06 to have a material impact on the financial statements.
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.

TRUSTEE CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING CONTINUATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT1
Overview of the Contract Review Process
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), an investment advisory agreement between a mutual fund and its investment adviser may continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees or its shareholders, and by a vote of a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (the “Independent Trustees”) cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
Consistent with these requirements, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”), met in person on April 3, 2024 and May 8-9, 2024, including in executive sessions attended by the Independent Trustees, to consider a proposal to approve, with respect to the State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”). Prior to voting on the proposal, the Independent Trustees reviewed information furnished by the Adviser and others reasonably necessary to permit the Board to evaluate the proposal fully. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by counsel who are independent of the Adviser (“Independent Counsel”) in connection with their consideration of approval of the Advisory Agreement. Following the April 3, 2024 meeting, the Independent Trustees submitted questions and requests for additional information to management, and considered management’s responses thereto prior to and at the May 8-9, 2024 meeting. The Independent Trustees considered, among other things, the following:

| • | A report prepared by an independent third-party provider of investment company data, which includes for the feeder fund for which the Portfolio serves as the master fund in a master-feeder structure (the “Fund”): |
o Comparisons of the Fund’s performance over the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2023, to the performance of an appropriate benchmark provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) for the Fund (the “Benchmark”) and/or a universe of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and policies (the “Performance Group” and/or the “Performance Universe”) constructed by Broadridge;

o Comparisons of the Fund’s contractual management fee to the contractual management fees of comparable mutual funds at different asset levels.
_______________________________
1 Over the course of many years overseeing the Portfolio and other investment companies, the Independent Trustees have identified numerous relevant issues, factors and concerns ("issues, factors and concerns") that they consider each year in connection with the proposed continuation of the advisory agreement, the administration agreement, the distribution plans, the distribution agreement and various related-party service agreements (the "annual review process"). The statement of issues, factors and concerns and the related conclusions of the Independent Trustees may not change substantially from year to year. However, the information requested by, and provided to, the Independent Trustees with respect to the issues, factors and concerns and on which their conclusions are based is updated annually and, in some cases, may differ substantially from the previous year. The Independent Trustees schedule annually a separate in-person meeting that is dedicated to the annual review process (the "special meeting"). At the special meeting and throughout the annual review process, the Independent Trustees take a fresh look at each of the issues, factors and concerns in light of the latest available information and each year present one or more sets of comments and questions to management with respect to specific issues, factors and concerns. Management responds to such comments and questions to the satisfaction of the Independent Trustees before the annual review process is completed and prior to the Independent Trustees voting on proposals to approve continuation of the agreements and plans.

In addition to the information identified above, the Board considered information provided from time to time by the Adviser and other service providers of the Portfolio throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to the performance of the Portfolio and the investment strategies used in pursuing the Portfolio’s investment objective.
The Independent Trustees were assisted throughout the contract review process by their Independent Counsel. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement, and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to the Advisory Agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the Portfolio.
Results of the Process
Based on a consideration of the foregoing and such other information as deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, at the meeting held on May 8-9, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement effective June 1, 2024, for an additional year with respect to the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing particular markets, industries and specific issuers of securities in these markets and industries. The Board also considered the substantial expertise of the Adviser in developing and applying proprietary quantitative models for managing various funds that invest primarily in money market instruments. The Board considered the extensive experience and resources committed by the Adviser to risk management, including with respect to investment risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, counterparty risk and model risk. Further, the Board considered material enhancements made to the risk management processes and systems over the past year. The Trustees also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Portfolio, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks. The Board considered the Adviser’s success in maintaining the constant dollar value of the Portfolio through extraordinary market conditions. The Board also took into account the compensation paid to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management, as well as the Adviser’s succession planning process.
The Board had previously reviewed the compliance programs of SSGA FM and various Affiliated Service Providers. Among other things, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity, the allocation of investment opportunities and the voting of proxies.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the Adviser can be expected to continue to provide high quality investment management and related services for the Portfolio.
Portfolio Performance
The Board considered the Portfolio’s performance by evaluating the performance of the Fund. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark and universe of comparable mutual funds for various time periods ended December 31, 2023. For purposes of these comparisons the Independent Trustees relied extensively on the Performance Group, Performance Universe and Benchmark and the analyses of the related data provided by Broadridge. Among other information, the Board considered the following performance information in its evaluation of the Portfolio:
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
Money Market Funds, Generally. The Board noted the relatively narrow range of returns in each Fund’s Performance Group and Performance Universe. The Board also observed that several basis points of performance, whether from yield on portfolio investments or fees waived by service providers, accounted for substantial differences in performance relative to other funds in such Performance Group and Performance Universe during periods when preservation of capital and net asset value were generally considered by stockholders to have been more important than several basis points of yield.
State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund and State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio. The Board considered that the Fund’s performance was above the medians of its Performance Group and Performance Universe for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund’s performance was above the Benchmark for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed the contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by the Portfolio and actual fees paid by the Fund, net of waivers. As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio, including the portion attributable to administrative services provided by SSGA FM (both before and after giving effect to any expense caps), as compared to its Expense Group and Expense Universe, as constructed by Broadridge, and the related Broadridge analysis for the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser to the fees charged and services provided to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional accounts. The Board considered the investment advisory fee in the context of the overall master-feeder arrangement with the Fund. Among other information, the Board considered the following expense information in its evaluation of the Portfolio:
State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund and State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio. The Board considered that the Fund’s actual management fee was below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Fund’s total expenses were below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the fees and the expense ratio of the Fund compare favorably to the fees and expenses of the Expense Group and Expense Universe and the fees and expense ratio of the Portfolio are reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates in providing investment advisory and other services to the Portfolio and to all funds within the fund complex. The Board considered other direct and indirect benefits received by the Adviser and Affiliated Service Providers in connection with their relationships with the Portfolio, together with the profitability of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to their services to the Portfolio and/or fund complex. The Board also considered the various risks borne by SSGA FM and State Street in connection with their various roles in servicing the Trust, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks.
The Board concluded that the profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Portfolio, and the profitability range of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to its services to the Portfolio, were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Portfolio and the fund complex, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Portfolio and fund complex increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of the Portfolio or the fund complex taken as a whole. The Board concluded that, in light of the current size of the Portfolio and the fund complex, the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Portfolio and the fund complex over various time periods, and the comparative management fee and expense ratio of the Fund during these periods, it does not appear that the Adviser or its affiliates has realized benefits from economies of scale in managing the assets of the Portfolio to such an extent that previously agreed advisory fees should be reduced or that breakpoints in such fees should be implemented for the Portfolio at this time.

June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
Conclusions
In reaching its decision to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as being controlling, but based its recommendation on each of the factors it considered. Each Trustee may have contributed different weight to the various factors. Based upon the materials reviewed, the representations made and the considerations described above, and as part of its deliberations, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Adviser possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement.
Further, based upon its review of the Advisory Agreement, the materials provided, and the considerations described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that (1) the terms of the Advisory Agreement are reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders, and (2) the rates payable under the Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made for services of the same nature and quality.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
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 June 30, 2024, the Trust consists of five (5) 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. The Portfolio is not currently subject to liquidity fees during periods of high illiquidity in the markets for the investments it holds.
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” and each member thereof, a "Trustee"). 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 rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
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 June 30, 2024.
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.

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. As of December 31, 2023, 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 June 30, 2024, 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, such as COVID-19, or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.
7. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2206 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU No. 2022-06 updates and clarifies ASU No. 2020-04, which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered reference rates. The temporary relief provided by ASU No. 2022-06 is effective immediately for certain reference rate-related

contract modifications that occur through December 31, 2024. Management does not expect ASU No. 2022-06 to have a material impact on the financial statements.
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.

TRUSTEE CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING CONTINUATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT1
Overview of the Contract Review Process
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), an investment advisory agreement between a mutual fund and its investment adviser may continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees or its shareholders, and by a vote of a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (the “Independent Trustees”) cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
Consistent with these requirements, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”), met in person on April 3, 2024 and May 8-9, 2024, including in executive sessions attended by the Independent Trustees, to consider a proposal to approve, with respect to the State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”). Prior to voting on the proposal, the Independent Trustees reviewed information furnished by the Adviser and others reasonably necessary to permit the Board to evaluate the proposal fully. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by counsel who are independent of the Adviser (“Independent Counsel”) in connection with their consideration of approval of the Advisory Agreement. Following the April 3, 2024 meeting, the Independent Trustees submitted questions and requests for additional information to management, and considered management’s responses thereto prior to and at the May 8-9, 2024 meeting. The Independent Trustees considered, among other things, the following:
Information about Performance, Expenses and Fees
| • | A report prepared by an independent third-party provider of investment company data, which includes for the feeder fund for which the Portfolio serves as the master fund in a master-feeder structure (the “Fund”): |
o Comparisons of the Fund’s performance over the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2023, to the performance of an appropriate benchmark provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) for the Fund (the “Benchmark”) and/or a universe of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and policies (the “Performance Group” and/or the “Performance Universe”) constructed by Broadridge;
o Comparisons of the Fund’s expense ratio (with detail of component expenses) to the expense ratios of a group of comparable mutual funds selected by the independent third-party data provider (the “Expense Group” and/or “Expense Universe”);
o A chart showing the Fund’s historical average net assets relative to its total expenses, management fees, and non-management expenses over the past five calendar years; and
o Comparisons of the Fund’s contractual management fee to the contractual management fees of comparable mutual funds at different asset levels.
____________________________________
1 Over the course of many years overseeing the Portfolio and other investment companies, the Independent Trustees have identified numerous relevant issues, factors and concerns ("issues, factors and concerns") that they consider each year in connection with the proposed continuation of the advisory agreement, the administration agreement, the distribution plans, the distribution agreement and various related-party service agreements (the "annual review process"). The statement of issues, factors and concerns and the related conclusions of the Independent Trustees may not change substantially from year to year. However, the information requested by, and provided to, the Independent Trustees with respect to the issues, factors and concerns and on which their conclusions are based is updated annually and, in some cases, may differ substantially from the previous year. The Independent Trustees schedule annually a separate in-person meeting that is dedicated to the annual review process (the "special meeting"). At the special meeting and throughout the annual review process, the Independent Trustees take a fresh look at each of the issues, factors and concerns in light of the latest available information and each year present one or more sets of comments and questions to management with respect to specific issues, factors and concerns. Management responds to such comments and questions to the satisfaction of the Independent Trustees before the annual review process is completed and prior to the Independent Trustees voting on proposals to approve continuation of the agreements and plans.

In addition to the information identified above, the Board considered information provided from time to time by the Adviser and other service providers of the Portfolio throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to the performance of the Portfolio and the investment strategies used in pursuing the Portfolio’s investment objective.
The Independent Trustees were assisted throughout the contract review process by their Independent Counsel. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement, and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to the Advisory Agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the Portfolio.
Results of the Process
Based on a consideration of the foregoing and such other information as deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, at the meeting held on May 8-9, 2024 the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement effective June 1, 2024, for an additional year with respect to the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing particular markets, industries and specific issuers of securities in these markets and industries. The Board also considered the substantial expertise of the Adviser in developing and applying proprietary quantitative models for managing various funds that invest primarily in money market instruments. The Board considered the extensive experience and resources committed by the Adviser to risk management, including with respect to investment risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, counterparty risk and model risk. Further, the Board considered material enhancements made to the risk management processes and systems over the past year. The Trustees also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Portfolio, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks. The Board considered the Adviser’s success in maintaining the constant dollar value of the Portfolio through extraordinary market conditions. The Board also took into account the compensation paid to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management, as well as the Adviser’s succession planning process.
The Board had previously reviewed the compliance programs of SSGA FM and various Affiliated Service Providers. Among other things, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity, the allocation of investment opportunities and the voting of proxies.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the Adviser can be expected to continue to provide high quality investment management and related services for the Portfolio.
Portfolio Performance
The Board considered the Portfolio’s performance by evaluating the performance of the Fund. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark and universe of comparable mutual funds for various time periods ended December 31, 2023. For purposes of these comparisons the Independent Trustees relied extensively on the Performance Group, Performance Universe and Benchmark and the analyses of the related data provided by Broadridge. Among other information, the Board considered the following performance information in its evaluation of the Portfolio:
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
Money Market Funds, Generally. The Board noted the relatively narrow range of returns in each Fund’s Performance Group and Performance Universe. The Board also observed that several basis points of performance, whether from yield on portfolio investments or fees waived by service providers, accounted for substantial differences in performance relative to other funds in such Performance Group and Performance Universe during periods when preservation of capital and net asset value were generally considered by stockholders to have been more important than several basis points of yield.
State Street Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund and State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio. The Board considered that the Fund’s performance was below the median of its Performance Group for the 1- and 3-year periods and was equal to the median of its Performance Group for the 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund’s performance was above the median of its Performance Universe for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund’s performance was above the Benchmark for the 1-, 5- and 10-year periods and was below the Benchmark for the 3-year period.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed the contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by the Portfolio and actual fees paid by the Fund, net of waivers. As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio, including the portion attributable to administrative services provided by SSGA FM (both before and after giving effect to any expense caps), as compared to its Expense Group and Expense Universe, as constructed by Broadridge, and the related Broadridge analysis for the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser to the fees charged and services provided to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional accounts. The Board considered the investment advisory fee in the context of the overall master-feeder arrangement with the Fund. Among other information, the Board considered the following expense information in its evaluation of the Portfolio:
State Street Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund and State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio. The Board considered that the Fund’s actual management fee was below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Fund’s total expenses were below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the fees and the expense ratio of the Fund compare favorably to the fees and expenses of the Expense Group and Expense Universe and the fees and the expense ratio of the Portfolio are reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates in providing investment advisory and other services to the Portfolio and to all funds within the fund complex. The Board considered other direct and indirect benefits received by the Adviser and Affiliated Service Providers in connection with their relationships with the Portfolio, together with the profitability of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to their services to the Portfolio and/or fund complex. The Board also considered the various risks borne by SSGA FM and State Street in connection with their various roles in servicing the Trust, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks.
The Board concluded that the profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Portfolio, and the profitability range of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to its services to the Portfolio, were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Portfolio and the fund complex, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Portfolio and fund complex increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of the Portfolio or the fund complex taken as a whole. The Board concluded that, in light of the current size of the Portfolio and the fund complex, the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Portfolio and the fund complex over various time periods, and the comparative management fee and expense ratio of the Fund during these periods, it does not appear that the Adviser or its affiliates has realized benefits from economies of scale in managing the assets of the Portfolio to such an extent that previously agreed advisory fees should be reduced or that breakpoints in such fees should be implemented for the Portfolio at this time.

Conclusions
In reaching its decision to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as being controlling, but based its recommendation on each of the factors it considered. Each Trustee may have contributed different weight to the various factors. Based upon the materials reviewed, the representations made and the considerations described above, and as part of its deliberations, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Adviser possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement.
Further, based upon its review of the Advisory Agreement, the materials provided, and the considerations described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that (1) the terms of the Advisory Agreement are reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders, and (2) the rates payable under the Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made for services of the same nature and quality.

STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY PLUS MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
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 June 30, 2024, the Trust consists of five (5) 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. The Portfolio is not currently subject to liquidity fees during periods of high illiquidity in the markets for the investments held by it .
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 rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY PLUS MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
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 June 30, 2024, the Portfolio had invested in repurchase agreements with the gross values of $19,531,103,750 and associated collateral equal to $19,925,848,155.
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
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY PLUS MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
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 June 30, 2024.
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 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, 2023, 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 June 30, 2024, 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.
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET TREASURY PLUS MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
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, such as COVID-19, or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2206 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU No. 2022-06 updates and clarifies ASU No. 2020-04, which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered reference rates. The temporary relief provided by ASU No. 2022-06 is effective immediately for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur through December 31, 2024. Management does not expect ASU No. 2022-06 to have a material impact on the financial statements.
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.

TRUSTEE CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING CONTINUATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT1
Overview of the Contract Review Process
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), an investment advisory agreement between a mutual fund and its investment adviser may continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees or its shareholders, and by a vote of a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (the “Independent Trustees”) cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
Consistent with these requirements, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”), met in person on April 3, 2024 and May 8-9, 2024, including in executive sessions attended by the Independent Trustees, to consider a proposal to approve, with respect to the State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”). Prior to voting on the proposal, the Independent Trustees reviewed information furnished by the Adviser and others reasonably necessary to permit the Board to evaluate the proposal fully. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by counsel who are independent of the Adviser (“Independent Counsel”) in connection with their consideration of approval of the Advisory Agreement. Following the April 3, 2024 meeting, the Independent Trustees submitted questions and requests for additional information to management, and considered management’s responses thereto prior to and at the May 8-9, 2024 meeting. The Independent Trustees considered, among other things, the following:
Information about Performance, Expenses and Fees
| • | A report prepared by an independent third-party provider of investment company data, which includes for the feeder fund for which the Portfolio serves as the master fund in a master-feeder structure (the “Fund”): |
o Comparisons of the Fund’s performance over the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2023, to the performance of an appropriate benchmark provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) for the Fund (the “Benchmark”) and/or a universe of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and policies (the “Performance Group” and/or the “Performance Universe”) constructed by Broadridge;
o Comparisons of the Fund’s expense ratio (with detail of component expenses) to the expense ratios of a group of comparable mutual funds selected by the independent third-party data provider (the “Expense Group” and/or “Expense Universe”);
o A chart showing the Fund’s historical average net assets relative to its total expenses, management fees, and non-management expenses over the past five calendar years; and
o Comparisons of the Fund’s contractual management fee to the contractual management fees of comparable mutual funds at different asset levels.
____________________________
1Over the course of many years overseeing the Portfolio and other investment companies, the Independent Trustees have identified numerous relevant issues, factors and concerns ("issues, factors and concerns") that they consider each year in connection with the proposed continuation of the advisory agreements, the administration agreement, the distribution plans, the distribution agreement and various related-party service agreements (the "annual review process"). The statement of issues, factors and concerns and the related conclusions of the Independent Trustees may not change substantially from year to year. However, the information requested by, and provided to, the Independent Trustees with respect to the issues, factors and concerns and on which their conclusions are based is updated annually and, in some cases, may differ substantially from the previous year. The Independent Trustees schedule annually a separate in-person meeting that is dedicated to the annual review process (the "special meeting"). At the special meeting and throughout the annual review process, the Independent Trustees take a fresh look at each of the issues, factors and concerns in light of the latest available information and each year present one or more sets of comments and questions to management with respect to specific issues, factors and concerns. Management responds to such comments and questions to the satisfaction of the Independent Trustees before the annual review process is completed and prior to the Independent Trustees voting on proposals to approve continuation of the agreements and plans.

In addition to the information identified above, the Board considered information provided from time to time by the Adviser, and other service providers of the Portfolio throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to the performance of the Portfolio and the investment strategies used in pursuing the Portfolio’s investment objective.
The Independent Trustees were assisted throughout the contract review process by their Independent Counsel. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement, and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to the Advisory Agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the Portfolio.
Results of the Process
Based on a consideration of the foregoing and such other information as deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, at the meeting held on May 8-9, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement effective June 1, 2024, for an additional year with respect to the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing particular markets, industries and specific issuers of securities in these markets and industries. The Board also considered the substantial expertise of the Adviser in developing and applying proprietary quantitative models for managing various funds that invest primarily in money market instruments. The Board considered the extensive experience and resources committed by the Adviser to risk management, including with respect to investment risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, counterparty risk and model risk. Further, the Board considered material enhancements made to the risk management processes and systems over the past year. The Trustees also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Portfolio, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks. The Board considered the Adviser’s success in maintaining the constant dollar value of the Portfolio through extraordinary market conditions. The Board also took into account the compensation paid to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management, as well as the Adviser’s succession planning process.
The Board had previously reviewed the compliance programs of SSGA FM and various affiliated service providers. Among other things, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity, the allocation of investment opportunities and the voting of proxies.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the Adviser can be expected to continue to provide high quality investment management and related services for the Portfolio.
Portfolio Performance
The Board considered the Portfolio’s performance by evaluating the performance of the Fund. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark and universe of comparable mutual funds for various time periods ended December 31, 2023. For purposes of these comparisons the Independent Trustees relied extensively on the Performance Group, Performance Universe and Benchmark and the analyses of the related data provided by Broadridge. Among other information, the Board considered the following performance information in its evaluation of the Portfolio:

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
Money Market Funds, Generally. The Board noted the relatively narrow range of returns in each Fund’s Performance Group and Performance Universe. The Board also observed that several basis points of performance, whether from yield on portfolio investments or fees waived by service providers, accounted for substantial differences in performance relative to other funds in such Performance Group and Performance Universe during periods when preservation of capital and net asset value were generally considered by stockholders to have been more important than several basis points of yield.
State Street Institutional Treasury Plus Money Market Fund and State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio. The Board considered that the Fund’s performance was above the medians of its Performance Group and Performance Universe for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund’s performance was above the Benchmark for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed the contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by the Portfolio and actual fees paid by the Fund, net of waivers. As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio, including the portion attributable to administrative services provided by SSGA FM (both before and after giving effect to any expense caps), as compared to its Expense Group and Expense Universe, as constructed by Broadridge, and the related Broadridge analysis for the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser to the fees charged and services provided to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional accounts. The Board considered the investment advisory fee in the context of the overall master-feeder arrangement with the Fund. Among other information, the Board considered the following expense information in its evaluation of the Portfolio:
State Street Institutional Treasury Plus Money Market Fund and State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio. The Board considered that the Fund’s actual management fee was below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Fund’s total expenses were below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the fees and the expense ratio of the Fund compare favorably to the fees and expenses of the Expense Group and Expense Universe and the fees and the expense ratio of the Portfolio are reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates in providing investment advisory and other services to the Portfolio and to all funds within the fund complex. The Board considered other direct and indirect benefits received by the Adviser and Affiliated Service Providers in connection with their relationships with the Portfolio, together with the profitability of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to their services to the Portfolio and/or fund complex. The Board also considered the various risks borne by SSGA FM and State Street in connection with their various roles in servicing the Trust, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks.
The Board concluded that the profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Portfolio, and the profitability range of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to its services to the Portfolio, were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Portfolio and the fund complex, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Portfolio and fund complex increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of the Portfolio or the fund complex taken as a whole. The Board concluded that, in light of the current size of the Portfolio and the fund complex, the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Portfolio and the fund complex over various time periods, and the comparative management fee and expense ratio of the Fund during these periods, it does not appear that the Adviser or its affiliates has realized benefits from economies of scale in managing the assets of the Portfolio to such an extent that previously agreed advisory fees should be reduced or that breakpoints in such fees should be implemented for the Portfolio at this time.

Conclusions
In reaching its decision to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as being controlling, but based its recommendation on each of the factors it considered. Each Trustee may have contributed different weight to the various factors. Based upon the materials reviewed, the representations made and the considerations described above, and as part of its deliberations, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Adviser possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement.
Further, based upon its review of the Advisory Agreement, the materials provided, and the considerations described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that (1) the terms of the Advisory Agreement are reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders, and (2) the rates payable under the Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made for services of the same nature and quality.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
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 June 30, 2024, the Trust consists of five (5) 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.

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 June 30, 2024 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 June 30, 2024, 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 June 30, 2024, 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 June 30, 2024, 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.
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.
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 June 30, 2024, 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 June 30, 2024, 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 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, 2023, 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 June 30, 2024, 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

| $2,505,260,804 | | $1,120,307,319 | | $258,600,644 | | $861,706,675 |
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 June 30, 2024, 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 June 30, 2024:

9. Line of Credit
The Portfolio and other affiliated funds (each, a “Participant” and collectively, the “Participants”) have access to $180 million of a $960 million revolving credit facility, provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires in October 2024 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.
The Portfolio had no outstanding loans as of June 30, 2024.
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
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, such as COVID-19, or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.
Russian Sanctions Risk
Sanctions threatened or imposed by a number of jurisdictions, including the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom, and other intergovernmental actions that have been or may be undertaken in the future, against Russia, Russian entities or Russian individuals, may result in the devaluation of Russian currency, a downgrade in the country’s credit rating, an immediate freeze of Russian assets, a decline in the value and liquidity of Russian securities, property or interests, and/or other adverse consequences to the Russian economy or the Portfolio's. The scope and scale of sanctions in place at a particular time may be expanded or otherwise modified in a way that have negative effects on the Portfolio's. Sanctions, or the threat of new or modified sanctions, could impair the ability of the Portfolio's to buy, sell, hold, receive, deliver or otherwise transact in certain affected securities or other investment instruments. Sanctions could also result in Russia taking counter measures or other actions in response, which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities. These sanctions, and the resulting disruption of the Russian economy, may cause volatility in other regional and global
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPED EQUITY INDEX PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

markets and may negatively impact the performance of various sectors and industries, as well as companies in other countries, which could have a negative effect on the performance of the Portfolio's, even if the Portfolio's does not have direct exposure to securities of Russian issuers. As a collective result of the imposition of sanctions, Russian government countermeasures and the impact that they have had on the trading markets for Russian securities, certain Portfolio's have used, and may in the future use, fair valuation procedures approved by the Portfolio’s Board to value certain Russian securities, which could result in such securities being deemed to have a zero value.
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.

TRUSTEE CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING CONTINUATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT1
Overview of the Contract Review Process
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), an investment advisory agreement between a mutual fund and its investment adviser may continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees or its shareholders, and by a vote of a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (the “Independent Trustees”) cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
Consistent with these requirements, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”), met in person on April 3, 2024 and May 8-9, 2024, including in executive sessions attended by the Independent Trustees, to consider a proposal to approve, with respect to the State Street International Developed Equity Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”). Prior to voting on the proposal, the Independent Trustees reviewed information furnished by the Adviser and others reasonably necessary to permit the Board to evaluate the proposal fully. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by counsel who are independent of the Adviser (“Independent Counsel”) in connection with their consideration of approval of the Advisory Agreement. Following the April 3, 2024 meeting, the Independent Trustees submitted questions and requests for additional information to management, and considered management’s responses thereto prior to and at the May 8-9, 2024 meeting. The Independent Trustees considered, among other things, the following:
Information about Performance, Expenses and Fees
| • | A report prepared by an independent third-party provider of investment company data, which includes for the Portfolio: |
o Comparisons of the Portfolio’s performance over the past one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023 to the performance of an appropriate benchmark provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) for the Portfolio (the “Benchmark”) and/or a universe of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and policies (the “Performance Group” and/or the “Performance Universe”) constructed by Broadridge;
o Comparisons of the Portfolio’s expense ratio (with detail of component expenses) to the expense ratios of a group of comparable mutual funds selected by the independent third-party data provider (the “Expense Group” and/or “Expense Universe”);
o A chart showing the Portfolio’s historical average net assets relative to its total expenses, management fees, and non-management expenses over the past five years; and
o Comparisons of the Portfolio’s contractual management fee to the contractual management fees of comparable mutual funds at different asset levels.
_______________________________________________
1Over the course of many years overseeing the Portfolio and other investment companies, the Independent Trustees have identified numerous relevant issues, factors and concerns ("issues, factors and concerns") that they consider each year in connection with the proposed continuation of the advisory agreement, the administration agreement, the distribution plans, the distribution agreement and various related-party service agreements (the "annual review process"). The statement of issues, factors and concerns and the related conclusions of the Independent Trustees may not change substantially from year to year. However, the information requested by, and provided to, the Independent Trustees with respect to the issues, factors and concerns and on which their conclusions are based is updated annually and, in some cases, may differ substantially from the previous year. The Independent Trustees schedule annually a separate in-person meeting that is dedicated to the annual review process (the "special meeting"). At the special meeting and throughout the annual review process, the Independent Trustees take a fresh look at each of the issues, factors and concerns in light of the latest available information and each year present one or more sets of comments and questions to management with respect to specific issues, factors and concerns. Management responds to such comments and questions to the satisfaction of the Independent Trustees before the annual review process is completed and prior to the Independent Trustees voting on proposals to approve continuation of the agreements and plans.

| • | Materials provided by Broadridge, circulated to the Independent Trustees and to Independent Counsel. |
In addition to the information identified above, the Board considered information provided from time to time by the Adviser, and other service providers of the Portfolio throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to the performance of the Portfolio and the investment strategies used in pursuing the Portfolio’s investment objective.
The Independent Trustees were assisted throughout the contract review process by their Independent Counsel. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement, and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to the Advisory Agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the Portfolio.
Results of the Process
Based on a consideration of the foregoing and such other information as deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, at the meeting held on May 8-9, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement effective June 1, 2024, for an additional year with respect to the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board evaluated, where relevant, the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing particular markets, industries and specific issuers of securities in these markets and industries. The Board also considered the substantial expertise of the Adviser in developing and applying proprietary quantitative models for managing various funds that invest primarily in equity securities. The Board considered the extensive experience and resources committed by the Adviser to risk management, including with respect to investment risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, counterparty risk and model risk. Further, the Board considered material enhancements made to the risk management processes and systems over the past year. The Trustees also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Portfolio, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks. The Board also took into account the compensation paid to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management, as well as the Adviser’s succession planning process.
The Board had previously reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and various Affiliated Service Providers. Among other things, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity, the allocation of investment opportunities and the voting of proxies. The Board also considered the role of the Adviser in overseeing the Portfolio’s securities lending activities.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the Adviser can be expected to continue to provide high quality investment management and related services for the Portfolio.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Portfolio’s investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark and universe of comparable mutual funds for various time periods ended December 31, 2023. For purposes of these comparisons the Independent Trustees relied extensively on the Performance Group, Performance Universe and Benchmark and the analyses of the related data provided by Broadridge. Among other information, the Board considered the following performance information in its evaluation of the Portfolio:
STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPED EQUITY INDEX PORTFOLIO
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
State Street International Developed Equity Index Portfolio. The Board considered that the Portfolio’s performance was above the medians of its Performance Group and Performance Universe for the 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Board also considered that the Portfolio’s performance was above the Benchmark for the 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Board also took into account the fact that the Portfolio is designed to track a designated index.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed the contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by the Portfolio and actual fees paid by the Portfolio, net of waivers. As part of its review, the Board considered the Portfolio’s management fee and total expense ratio, including the portion attributable to administrative services provided by SSGA FM (both before and after giving effect to any expense caps), as compared to its Expense Group and Expense Universe, as constructed by Broadridge, and the related Broadridge analysis for the Portfolio. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser to the fees charged and services provided to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional accounts. Among other information, the Board considered the following expense information in its evaluation of the Portfolio:
State Street International Developed Equity Index Portfolio. The Board considered that the Portfolio’s actual management fee was below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Portfolio’s total expenses were below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the fees and the expense ratio of the Portfolio compare favorably to the fees and expenses of the Expense Group and Expense Universe and are reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates in providing investment advisory and other services to the Portfolio and to all funds within the fund complex. The Board considered other direct and indirect benefits received by the Adviser and Affiliated Service Providers in connection with their relationships with the Portfolio, together with the profitability of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to their services to the Portfolio and/or fund complex. The Board also considered the various risks borne by SSGA FM and State Street in connection with their various roles in servicing the Trust, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks.
The Board concluded that the profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Portfolio, and the profitability range of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to its services to the Portfolio, were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Portfolio and the fund complex, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Portfolio and fund complex increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of the Portfolio or the fund complex taken as a whole. The Board concluded that, in light of the current size of the Portfolio and the fund complex, the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Portfolio and the fund complex over various time periods, and the comparative management fee and expense ratio of the Portfolio during these periods, it does not appear that the Adviser or its affiliates has realized benefits from economies of scale in managing the assets of the Portfolio to such an extent that previously agreed advisory fees should be reduced or that breakpoints in such fees should be implemented for the Portfolio at this time.
