SSGA MASTER TRUST
December 31, 2014 (Unaudited)
1. | Organization |
SSGA Master Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end investment management company that was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 30, 2011.
As of December 31, 2014, the Trust offered nine (9) portfolios, each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust (each a “Portfolio” and collectively; the “Portfolios”). The financial statements herein relate to the following nine (9) Portfolios: SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return Portfolio, SSGA Income Allocation Portfolio, SSGA Global Allocation Portfolio, Blackstone/GSO Senior Loan Portfolio, SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond Portfolio, SSGA MFS Systematic Core Equity Portfolio, SSGA MFS Systematic Growth Equity Portfolio, SSGA MFS Systematic Value Equity Portfolio and SSGA Risk Aware Portfolio. Each Portfolio serves as a master fund in a master feeder structure.
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 could involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
The Trust invests in various investments which are exposed to risks, such as market risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could be material.
SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return Portfolio, SSGA Income Allocation Portfolio and SSGA Global Allocation Portfolio invest their assets in other exchange-traded products (referred to as “underlying Funds”). The underlying Funds, in turn, may engage in a number of investment techniques and practices, which involve certain risks. Certain underlying Funds invest their portfolios in debt securities. Investments in debt securities may increase or decrease as a result of the following: market fluctuations, increases in interest rates, inability of issuers to repay principal and interest or illiquidity in the debt securities markets; the risk of low rates of return due to reinvestment of securities during periods of falling interest rates or repayment by issuers with higher coupon or interest rates; and/or the risk of low income due to falling interest rates. Certain underlying Funds invest their portfolios in foreign securities including emerging markets. Foreign investments involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Investments in securities issued by entities based outside the United States pose distinct risks since political and economic events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. Investment in emerging markets involves greater risk of loss than investments in a developed market. This is due to, among other things, greater market volatility, lower trading volume, political and economic instability, high levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluation, greater risk of market shut down, and more governmental limitations on foreign investment policy than those typically found in a developed market. Certain underlying Funds invest their portfolios in commodities markets. Commodities are subject to substantial price fluctuations over short periods of time and may be affected by unpredictable economic, political and environmental events. Factors that may significantly affect the prices of commodities include, but are not limited to: global supply and demand; domestic and international interest rates and investors’ expectations of interest rates; inflation rates and investors’ expectations of inflation rates; the investment and trading activities of commodity futures contracts; political, economic, or financial events, both globally and regionally.
The Blackstone/GSO Senior Loan Portfolio invests its assets in senior loans. Investments in senior loans are subject to credit risks which may include delay in receiving payments of principal and interest paid by the borrower to the agent or by the agent to the lender or offsets against payments received from the borrower.
SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond Portfolio invests primarily in investment grade debt securities with varying maturities. Investments in debt securities may increase or decrease as a result of the following: market fluctuations, increases in interest rates, inability of issuers to repay principal and interest or illiquidity in the debt securities markets; the risk of low rates of return due to reinvestment of securities during periods of falling interest rates or repayment by issuers with higher coupon or interest rates; and/or the risk of low income due to falling interest rates.
SSGA MFS Systematic Core Equity ETF, SSGA MFS Systematic Growth Equity ETF, SSGA MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF and SSGA Risk Aware Portfolio invest in various investments which are exposed to risks, such as market risk. Due to the level of risk

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2014 (Unaudited)
associated with certain investments it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could be material.
An investment in a Fund involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in security prices. The values of securities could decline generally or could underperform other investments. Different types of securities tend to go through cycles of out-performance and underperformance in comparison to the general securities market. In addition, securities may decline in value due to factors affecting a specific issuer, market or securities markets generally.
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 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. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars.
Security Valuation
The fair value of each Portfolio’s portfolio securities and other financial instruments is based on the market price of the securities, which generally means a valuation obtained from an exchange or other market (or based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange or other market) or a valuation obtained from an independent pricing service. Investments in underlying funds are valued at their market price each business day. Loans are primarily valued by using a composite loan price from a loan pricing service. The methodology used by the Portfolios’ loan pricing provider for composite loan prices is to value loans at the mean of the bid and ask prices from one or more brokers or dealers. U.S. fixed income securities may be valued as of the announced closing time for trading in fixed income instruments on any day that the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association announces an early closing time. If a security’s market price is not readily available or does not otherwise accurately reflect the fair value of the security, the security will be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) believes will better reflect fair value in accordance with the Trust’s valuation policies and procedures. The Board has adopted procedures concerning securities valuation, under which an Oversight Committee makes determinations as to whether market quotations are not readily available or do not otherwise accurately reflect the fair value of the security. The Oversight Committee, or a subgroup thereof, subject to oversight by the Board, may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, situations when trading in a security has been suspended or halted. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be received on the sale of the security.
The Portfolios follow the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements and the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
• | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
• | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
• | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (e.g., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for

which there is no current market quotation; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (e.g., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which the Portfolios’ net assets are computed and that may materially affect the value of the Portfolios’ investments). Examples of events that may be “significant events” are government actions, natural disasters, armed conflicts, acts of terrorism, and significant market fluctuations. The valuation of senior floating rate loans held by the Funds are obtained from an independent loan pricing service and categorized as Level 2 based on the use of other significant observable inputs.
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Portfolio’s net asset value and the prices used by such Portfolio’s benchmark index, which, in turn, could result in a difference between a Portfolio’s performance and the performance of the Portfolio’s benchmark index. The inputs or methodology used for valuation are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
The type of inputs used to value each security is identified in the Schedule of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of a Portfolio’s investments by category.
The following table summarizes the inputs used in valuing the Portfolios’ investments as of December 31, 2014:

Investment Income
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The value of additional securities received as dividend payments is recorded as income and as an increase to the cost basis of such securities.
Expenses
Advisory fees and other expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Portfolio, are applied to that Portfolio. Trustees’ fees and 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 Portfolios. In addition to the these direct expenses, the Portfolios bear certain expenses indirectly, such as fees of underlying Portfolios in which the Portfolio invest that are reflected in the reported value of such Portfolios.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date.

Federal Income Tax
The Portfolios are not required to pay federal income taxes on their net investment income and net capital gains because they are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. All interest, gains and losses of the Portfolios are deemed to have been “passed through” to the Portfolios’ partners in proportion to their holdings in the respective Portfolio, regardless of whether such items have been distributed by the Portfolios. Each partner is responsible for tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes. The Portfolios have reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of June 30, 2014 and have determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ Financial Statements. The Portfolios’ federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Portfolios’ major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Portfolios’ recognized interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.

7. | Line of Credit |
Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) share in a $300 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks. Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio has exclusive access to $100 million of the total credit facility. The Participants may borrow for the purpose of meeting shareholder redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is calculated based on the unused portion of the shared credit line. Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio pays the commitment fee for its exclusive portion of the credit line. Commitment fees on the shared credit line are allocated among each of the Participants based on net assets. Commitment fees are ordinary fund operating expenses and are paid by the Adviser. 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 the Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 25 percent of its assets. Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio had no outstanding loans during the period ended December 31, 2014.

Approval of Advisory Agreements
At in-person meetings held prior to December 31, 2014, the Board of Trustees of the Trusts (the “Board”) evaluated proposals (1) to continue the separate Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Current Agreements”) between each Trust and SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) with respect to the operational series of SSGA Active Trust (the “Current ETFs”) and SSGA Master Trust (together with the Current ETFs, the “Current Funds”), and (2) to approve separate Investment Advisory Agreements (together, the “New Agreements” and, collectively with the Current Agreements, the “Agreements”) between the Adviser and (a) the SSGA Active Trust with respect to the SPDR SSGA Risk Aware ETF, a new series of the SSGA Active Trust (the “New ETF” and, together with the Current ETFs, the “ETFs”), and (b) SSGA Master Trust with respect to the New ETF’s corresponding master fund, the State Street Risk Aware Portfolio (together with the New ETF, the “New Funds”) (with the Current Funds and New Funds collectively being referred to hereafter as the “Funds”). The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”) also met separately with their independent legal counsel to consider the Agreements.
In evaluating the Agreements, the Board drew on materials provided to them by the Adviser and on other materials provided by State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s Administrator, Transfer Agent and Custodian (“State Street”). In deciding whether to approve the Agreements, the Board considered various factors, including (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by or expected to be provided by the Adviser with respect to the Funds under the Agreements, (ii) the investment performance of the Current Funds, (iii) the costs to the Adviser of its services and profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Trusts, and (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if and as the Funds grow and whether the fee levels in the Agreements reflect these economies of scale.
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided or expected to be provided by the Adviser. In doing so, the Trustees relied on their prior experience in overseeing the management of the Trusts and materials provided prior to and at the meeting. The Board reviewed the Agreements and the Adviser’s responsibilities for managing investment operations of each of the Funds in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Board appreciated the relatively unique nature of the ETFs as exchange-traded funds in a master-feeder structure and the experience and expertise of the Adviser with exchange-traded funds. The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management, oversight of sub-advisers and regulatory compliance of the Funds. The Board also considered the portfolio management and oversight resources, structures and practices of the Adviser, including those associated with monitoring and securing each Fund’s compliance with its investment objectives and policies and with applicable laws and regulations. The Board also considered information about the Adviser’s best execution procedures and overall investment management business, noting that the Adviser serves a wide range of clients across a broad spectrum of asset classes. The Board looked at the Adviser’s general knowledge of the investment business and that of its affiliates which make up State Street Global Advisors, through which the Adviser

OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
December 31, 2014 (Unaudited)
shares all of its senior personnel. The Board considered that the Adviser and its affiliates constitute one of the world’s largest investment management enterprises for exchange-traded funds. The Board also considered the Adviser’s experience in active management, managing exchange-traded funds in master-feeder structures and overseeing third-party sub-advisers, as applicable.
The Board then reviewed the Current Funds’ performance. The Board compared each Current Fund’s investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark and universe of comparable funds, noting that the performance of each Current Fund was satisfactory.
The Board considered the profitability of the advisory arrangement with the Funds to the Adviser, including data on the Current Funds’ historical profitability to the Adviser. The Independent Trustees, through their counsel, had the opportunity to discuss, with representatives of the Adviser and State Street, methodologies used in computing costs that formed the bases of profitability calculations and determined that these methodologies were reasonable.
The Board considered whether the Adviser or its affiliates benefited in other ways from its relationship with the Trusts, noting that the Adviser does not maintain soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Trusts’ brokerage transactions.
The Board reviewed information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result as each Fund’s assets grow in size. The Board noted that the Agreements did not provide for breakpoints in each Fund’s advisory fee rates as assets of a Fund increase. However, the Board further noted the Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration for the Funds by fixing relatively low advisory fees, effectively sharing the benefits of lower fees with the Funds from inception. The Adviser also asserted that one of the benefits of the unitary fee was to provide an unvarying expense structure, which could be lost or diluted with the addition of breakpoints. The Board noted that it intends to continue to monitor fees as the Funds grow in size and assess whether fee breakpoints may be warranted.
The Board evaluated the Funds’ unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar funds — i.e., exchange-traded funds that are actively managed, as applicable. The Board reviewed the universe of similar exchange-traded funds for the ETFs based upon data obtained from Lipper Analytical Services and related comparative information for similar exchange-traded funds. The Board also reviewed the fee structure of the Funds in connection with the master-feeder structure, the estimated expense ratio for the New Funds and the historical expense ratios of the Current Funds. In doing so, the Board used a fund by fund analysis of the data.
The Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Agreements for each Fund after weighing the foregoing factors, none of which was dispositive in itself and may have been weighed differently by each Trustee. The Board’s conclusions with respect to each Agreement were as follows: (a) the nature and extent of the services provided or expected to be provided by the Adviser with respect to the Funds were appropriate; (b) the performance of each Current Fund had been satisfactory; (c) the Adviser’s fee for each Fund and the unitary fee, considered in relation to services provided or expected to be provided, were fair and reasonable; (d) profitability of the Trusts’ relationship with the Adviser was not excessive; (e) any additional benefits to the Adviser or its affiliates were not of a magnitude to materially affect the Board’s conclusions; and (f) fees paid or expected to be paid to the Adviser shared economies of scale with respect to the Funds by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trusts.
Approval of GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC Sub-Advisory Agreement
At an in-person meeting held prior to December 31, 2014, the Board also evaluated proposals to continue the separate Sub-Advisory Agreements (the “GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements”) between the Adviser and GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC (“GSO / Blackstone”) with respect to the SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF, a series of the SSGA Active Trust, and Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio, a series of the SSGA Master Trust, each sub-advised by GSO / Blackstone (the “GSO / Blackstone Funds”). The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trusts within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”) also met separately with their independent legal counsel to consider the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements.
In evaluating the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board drew on materials provided to them by GSO / Blackstone and the Adviser. In deciding whether to approve the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board
50

considered various factors, including (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by GSO / Blackstone with respect to the GSO / Blackstone Funds under the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements and (ii) the investment performance of the GSO / Blackstone Funds. The Board was apprised of the portion of the current advisory fee that the Adviser would pay to GSO / Blackstone under the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements and also considered that such fees would be paid directly by the Adviser and would not result in increased fees payable by the GSO / Blackstone Funds.
The Board considered the background and experience of GSO / Blackstone’s senior management and, in particular, GSO / Blackstone’s experience in investing in senior loan securities. The Board reviewed the GSO / Blackstone Funds’ performance, noting that the performance of the GSO / Blackstone Funds was satisfactory. The Board also considered the unitary fee paid to the Adviser by each the GSO / Blackstone Fund and GSO / Blackstone’s fees paid by the Adviser.
The Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements for each GSO / Blackstone Fund after weighing the foregoing factors, none of which was dispositive in itself and may have been weighed differently by each Trustee. The Board’s conclusions with respect to each GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreement were as follows: (a) the nature and extent of the services expected provided by GSO / Blackstone to the GSO / Blackstone Funds were appropriate; (b) the performance of the GSO / Blackstone Funds had been satisfactory; (c) GSO / Blackstone’s fees for the GSO / Blackstone Funds and the unitary fee, considered in relation to the services provided, were fair and reasonable; (d) any additional benefits to GSO / Blackstone were not of a magnitude to materially affect the Board’s conclusions; and (e) fees paid to GSO / Blackstone adequately shared the economies of scale with the GSO / Blackstone Funds by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trusts.

ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETFs net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.
Because the SPDR SSGA Active Asset Allocation ETFs are actively managed, they are therefore subject to the risk that the investments selected by SSGA may cause the ETFs to underperform relative to their benchmarks or other funds with similar investment objectives. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.
Foreign investments involve greater risks than U.S. investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations, all of which may be magnified in emerging markets.
Bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, but contain interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond values and yields usually fall); issuer default risk; issuer credit risk; liquidity risk; and inflation risk. These effects are usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.
Investing in commodities entail significant risk and is not appropriate for all investors. Commodities investing entail significant risk as commodity prices can be extremely volatile due to wide range of factors. A few such factors include overall market movements, real or perceived inflationary trends, commodity index volatility, international, economic and political changes, change in interest and currency exchange rates.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index performance does not reflect charges and expenses associated with the fund or brokerage commissions associated with buying and selling a fund. Index performance is not meant to represent that of any particular fund.
