Notes to Performance — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
The information provided on the performance pages relates to the State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund (the “Fund”).
Total return performance shown in this report for the Fund takes into account changes in share price and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. Total returns shown are net of Fund fees and expenses but do not reflect fees and charges associated with the variable contracts such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges, which, if reflected, would reduce the Fund’s total returns for all periods shown.
The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Periods less than one year are not annualized. Please call toll-free (800) 242-0134 or visit the Fund’s website at http://www.ssga.com/geam for the most recent month-end performance data.
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. An investment in the Fund is subject to risk, including possible loss of principal invested.
The S&P 500 Index® is an unmanaged, market capitalization-weighted index of stocks of 500 large U.S. companies, which is widely used as a measure of large-cap U.S. stock market performance. The results shown for the foregoing index assume the reinvestment of net dividends or interest and do not reflect fees, expenses, or taxes. As such, the index returns do not reflect the actual cost of investing in the instruments that comprise the index.
The peer universe of the underlying annuity funds used for the peer group average annual total return calculation is based on a blend of Morningstar peer categories, as shown. Morningstar is an independent mutual fund rating service. The Fund’s performance may be compared to or ranked within a universe of mutual funds with investment objectives and policies similar but not necessarily identical to that of the Fund.

State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
Q. | How did the State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund perform compared to its benchmark and Morningstar peer group for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016? |
A. | For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016, the State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund returned 10.46%. The S&P 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), the Fund’s benchmark, returned 11.96% and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 295 U.S. Insurance Large Blend Funds returned an average of 11.08% over the same period. |
Q.What | market conditions affected the Fund performance? |
A. | It was a volatile year for U.S. stocks. However, the market climbed a wall of worry and turned in double-digit gains in the last 12 months. Markets rebounded from serial concerns ranging from China-driven global slowdown and recession fears in early 2016, to The United Kingdom’s astonishing referendum vote to leave the European Union in late June of 2016, to Donald Trump’s populist-tinged presidential victory in November. Despite these uncertainties, U.S. stocks ended the year near all-time highs. |
| Early in the year, defensive stocks outperformed amid fears that a slowing China would crush global economies. However, by year-end, telecommunications (+23%) was the only defensive “bond-proxy” to hold strong leadership, while real estate (+3%) and staples (+5%) lagged. The cyclical energy (+27%) and financials (+23%) won as interest rates rose and oil prices strengthened—bolstered by OPEC’s late-year production-cut pledge. Industrials (+19%) and materials (+17%) also rallied amid hopes for fiscal stimulus and infrastructure spending in the President-elect Trump era. Health care (-3%) was the S&P 500 Index’s sole negative-returning sector, plagued by negative sentiment around drug pricing, and mixed M&A performance. |
| The market swung from defensive leadership to cyclical leadership with segments of event-driven volatility in between, creating difficulty for the disciplined long-term investor. Growth stocks de-rated this year, which is not surprising given relative outperformance in the energy, financials, materials and industrials sectors; and small caps outperformed large capitalization stocks. In terms of size, the outlook for pro-domestic President-elect Trump policies benefitted small-cap and lower-quality stock performance. |
Q. | What were the primary drivers of Fund performance? |
A. | The Fund modestly underperformed, due to lagging stock selections within the utility sector, as well as an unproductive overweight in the lagging health care sector. The Fund’s biotechnology and pharmaceuticals holdings detracted most from performance against a backdrop of negative election-year rhetoric around drug pricing. In general, we have found a good combination of valuation and earnings growth potential in the health care sector. Finally, improving commodity prices and hopes for increased infrastructure spending under Trump lifted the materials sector and the Fund was light in the most economically-sensitive materials companies, including the mining companies. We believe — eight years into the business cycle — that it is too late to be especially pro-cyclically tilted in materials. |
| On the other hand, the Fund benefited from strong stock selection in the technology sector, and strength in its industrials holdings. |
| The Fund does not invest in derivatives securities as part of its strategy, but may hold futures contracts or exchange traded funds to equitize cash flows in advance of investment. The effect of derivatives on performance was deminimus for the year. |
Q. | Were there any significant changes to the Fund during the period? |
A. | There were no significant changes during the period in the portfolio management team or the team’s approach to investing. Health care has remained a key sector overweight. However, the Fund significantly reduced its industrials and consumer discretionary exposures during the year, taking profits as the global growth outlook faded on the margin. We initiated an overweight in utilities, and increased exposure to technology, trimming our underweight positioning. The Fund also increased its exposure to energy and materials, reflecting our outlook for better fundamentals and commodity prices. Finally, the Fund increased its underweights in consumer staples and telecommunications, reflecting the lack of relative value in those sectors. |

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2016.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. Additionally, the expenses shown do not reflect the fees or charges associated with variable contracts through which shares of the Fund are offered.
| | | | | | | | |
| | Actual Fund Return | | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) | |
Account value at the beginning of the period July 1, 2016 | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.00 | |
Account value at the end of the period December 31, 2016 | | $ | 1,078.40 | | | $ | 1,019.31 | |
Expenses paid during the period* | | $ | 6.06 | | | $ | 5.89 | |
* | | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 1.16%** (for the period July 1, 2016-December 31, 2016), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
** | | May differ from expense ratio disclosed in the financial highlights, which is calculated based on the entire fiscal year’s data. |

State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements — December 31, 2016
1. | | Organization of the Company |
State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on May 14, 1984 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Prior to November 30, 2016, the Company was named GE Investments Funds, Inc. The Company is currently composed of the following eight investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”): State Street U.S. Equity V.I.S. Fund, State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund, State Street Premier Growth Equity V.I.S. Fund, State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund (the “Fund”), State Street Small-Cap Equity V.I.S. Fund, State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund, State Street Income V.I.S. Fund and State Street Real Estate Securities V.I.S. Fund. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. Each Fund is a diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act.
Effective November 30, 2016, each individual Fund changed its respective name as follows:
| | |
Old Name | | New Name |

Shares of the Funds of the Company are offered only to insurance company separate accounts that fund certain variable life insurance contracts and variable annuity contracts. SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) is the investment adviser and administrator of each of the Funds effective July 1, 2016. Prior to July 1, 2016, GE Asset Management Incorporated (“GEAM”) served as the investment adviser and administrator to each Fund.
The Company currently offers one share class (Class 1) of the Fund as an investment option for variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts.
2. | | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. At a meeting held on December 14, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan of dissolution, liquidation and termination of the Fund. As a result, the plan will be implemented to liquidate the assets of the Fund and to cease the Fund’s operations after the proceeds are paid to remaining shareholders. The liquidation of the Fund is expected to occur on or about April 28, 2017 (the “Liquidation Date”). Any shares of the Fund outstanding on the Liquidation Date will be automatically redeemed on the Liquidation Date.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Company:
Securities Valuation and Transactions All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost for both financial statement and federal tax purposes.
Foreign Currency Accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange 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 such transactions.

Notes to Financial Statements | | | 13 | |
State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
All assets and liabilities of the Fund initially expressed in foreign currency values will be converted into U.S. dollars at the WM/Reuters exchange rate computed at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time.
The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities during the year. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized or unrealized gain or loss from investments. Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains or losses on sales and maturities of foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference between the amount of net investment income and withholding taxes accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received or paid, and gains or losses between the trade and settlement date on purchases and sales of foreign securities. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities (including foreign currencies and open foreign currency contracts) as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are included as increases or decreases in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency related transactions.
Derivatives The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may enter into various types of derivative transactions (such as options, futures, and options on futures) to gain or hedge exposure to certain types of securities as an alternative to investing directly in or selling such securities.
Futures Contracts A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument, currency or index at a particular price and future date. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund invested in stock index futures contracts to gain equity exposure for accumulating and residual cash positions. Buying futures tends to increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument while selling futures tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge other Fund investments. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. The Fund’s risks in using these contracts include changes in the value of the underlying instruments, non-performance of the counterparties under the contracts’ terms and changes in the liquidity of the secondary market for the contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they principally trade.
Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, known as initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the fair value of the underlying security. The Fund records an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may incur a loss. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss on the expiration or closing of a futures contract.
Investment Income Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable withholding taxes, except for certain foreign corporate actions which are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as such information becomes available. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on taxable bonds are to the call or maturity date, whichever is shorter, using the effective yield method.
Expenses Fund specific expenses are charged to the Fund that incurs such expenses. Such expenses may include custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees. Expenses that are not fund specific are allocated pro rata across the Funds. Expenses of the Fund are generally paid directly by the Fund, however, expenses may be paid by the investment adviser and reimbursed by the Fund.
Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution of substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. The Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.

State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and providing related disclosures. Broadly, the framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. It also establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs.
Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
| • | | Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets. |
| • | | Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. |
| • | | Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. |
Policies and procedures are maintained to value investments using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, pricing vendors are utilized to assist in valuing investments. The investment adviser performs periodic reviews of the methodologies used by independent pricing services including price validation of individual securities.
Fair Value Measurement The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Fund uses to measure different financial investments at fair value.
The Fund’s portfolio securities are valued generally on the basis of market quotations. Equity securities generally are valued at the last reported sale price on the primary market in which they are traded. Portfolio securities listed on NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Level 1 securities primarily include publicly-traded equity securities, which may not necessarily represent the last sales price. If no sales occurred on the exchange or NASDAQ that day, the portfolio security generally is valued using the last reported bid price. In those circumstances, the Fund typically classifies the investment securities in Level 2.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are typically valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value and these are included in Level 2. If it is determined that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, securities may be valued based on dealer supplied valuations or quotations. In these infrequent circumstances, pricing services may provide the Fund with valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, and in those circumstances the investment securities are classified in Level 3.
Investments in registered investment companies are valued at the published daily net asset value (“NAV”) and classified in Level 1.
If prices are not readily available for a portfolio security, or if it is believed that a price for a portfolio security does not represent its fair value, the security may be valued using procedures approved by the Company’s Board of Directors that are designed to establish its “fair” value. These securities are typically classified in Level 3. Those procedures require that the fair value of a security be established by a valuation committee of the investment adviser. The valuation committee follows different protocols for different types of investments and circumstances. The fair value procedures may be used to value any investment of the Fund in the appropriate circumstances.
Fair value determinations generally are used for securities whose value is affected by a significant event that will materially affect the value of a security and which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such security trades but prior to the calculation of the Fund’s NAV.
The value established for such a portfolio security valued other than by use of a market quotation (as described above) may be different than what would be produced through the use of market quotations or another methodology. Portfolio securities that
| | | | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | | 15 | |
State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that the Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time and it is possible that the Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.
Other financial investments are derivative instruments that are not reflected in total investments, such as futures, forwards, swaps, and written options contracts, which are valued based on fair value as discussed above.
The Fund uses closing prices for derivatives included in Level 1, which are traded either on exchanges or liquid over-the-counter markets. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency and commodity forward and option contracts. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 3 primarily represent interest rate products that contain embedded optionality or prepayment features.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following table presents the Fund’s investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2016:

State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund had an average notional value of $192,101 on long futures contracts. Please refer to the table following the Schedule of Investments for open futures contracts at December 31, 2016.
Prior to July 1, 2016, the Company shared a revolving credit facility of up to $150 million with a number of its affiliates. The credit facility was with the Company’s custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). The revolving credit facility required the payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum on the daily unused portion of the credit facility, payable quarterly. The portion borne by each Fund generally was borne proportionally based upon net assets. Generally, borrowings under the credit facility would accrue interest at the higher of the 1-Month LIBOR plus 1.25% and the Overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% and would be borne by the borrowing Fund. The maximum amount allowed to be borrowed by any one Fund was the lesser of (i) 33.33% of its total assets or (ii) 20% of its net assets. The credit facility was not utilized by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The revolving credit facility with State Street was terminated effective June 30, 2016.
Currently, the Funds and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in a $360 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires October 12, 2017, 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. 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% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate. From July 1, 2016, the date the Funds were added to this credit facility, through October 12, 2016, interest was calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the New York Fed Bank Rate plus 1%.
The credit facilities were not utilized by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
6. | | Compensation and Fees Paid to Affiliates |
SSGA FM, a registered investment adviser, was retained by the Company’s Board of Directors effective July 1, 2016 to act as investment adviser and administrator of the Fund. SSGA FM’s compensation for investment advisory and administrative services (“Management Fee”) is paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of the Fund at an annualized rate of 0.65%.
State Street serves as the sub-administrator and custodian to the Funds. Amounts paid by the Fund to State Street for performing such services are included in advisory and administration and custody and accounting expenses, respectively.
Prior to July 1, 2016, GEAM served as the Fund’s investment adviser and administrator and the Fund paid GEAM a Management Fee at an annualized rate of 0.65%.
Directors’ Compensation The Fund pays no compensation to its Directors who are officers or employees of SSGA FM or its affiliates. Directors who are not such officers or employees also serve in a similar capacity for other funds advised by SSGA FM. Compensation paid to non-interested Directors is reflected on the Statement of Operations. These fees are allocated pro rata across all of the mutual fund platforms served by the Directors, including the Fund, and are based upon the relative net assets of each fund within such platforms. (For additional information about Directors’ compensation, please refer to the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.)
Other Transactions with Affiliates In December 2015, State Street announced a review of the manner in which it invoiced certain expenses to certain of its Investment Servicing clients, primarily in the United States, during an 18-year period going back to 1998 and its determination that it had incorrectly invoiced clients for certain expenses. State Street informed its clients that it will pay to them the expenses it concluded were incorrectly invoiced to them, plus interest.

Non-U.S. Government Securities |
Purchases | | Sales |
| | | | | | | | |
| $ | 5,930,794 | | | | $ | 8,011,700 | |
Affiliated Investments The Fund may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Fund owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
The Fund is subject to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for financial accounting and reporting for the effects of income taxes that result from an entity’s activities during the year. ASC 740 also provides guidance regarding how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. There are no adjustments to the Fund’s net assets required under ASC 740. The Fund’s 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 fiscal year tax returns are still open to examination by the Federal and applicable state tax authorities.
At December 31, 2016, information on the tax cost of investments and distributable earnings on a tax basis was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cost of Investments For Tax Purposes | | Gross Tax | | Net Tax Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | Undistributed Income | | Undistributed Accum. Capital Gain/(Loss) | | Late-Year Losses |

As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had no capital loss carryovers. Capital loss carryovers are available to offset future realized capital gains to the extent provided in the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder. To the extent that these carryover losses are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains offset will not be distributed to shareholders because they would be taxable as ordinary income.
Any qualified late-year loss is deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next tax year (if the Fund elects to defer such loss). Under this regime, generally, the Fund can elect to defer any post-October capital loss and/or any late-year ordinary loss as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.
The Fund incurred no such losses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:

Distributions to Shareholders The Fund declares and pays any dividends from net investment income annually. The Fund declares and pays any net realized capital gains in excess of capital loss carryforwards distributions annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These differences include (but are not limited to) distributions from Real Estate Investment Trusts, investments in futures, and losses deferred due to wash sale transactions. Reclassifications due to permanent book/tax differences are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations. These reclassifications have no impact on net investment income, realized gains or losses, or the NAV of the Fund. The calculation of net investment income per share in the Financial Highlights table excludes these adjustments.
The reclassifications for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | | Capital Paid In |

KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) served as the independent registered certified public accounting firm of the Company through its resignation as of June 30, 2016. On September 9, 2016, upon recommendation by the Audit Committee of the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors selected Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) to replace KPMG as the independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
The reports of KPMG on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years or periods.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Funds requested and KPMG furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the above statements. A copy of such letter was filed as Exhibit 77 to Form N-SAR for the period ended December 31, 2016.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through September 9, 2016, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted EY on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulations S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of said Item 304).

State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. and Shareholders of State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund (formerly GE Investments Core Value Equity Fund) (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. (formerly GE Investment Funds, Inc.)) (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for periods ended prior to January 1, 2016 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 19, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement of changes in net assets and those financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc.) at December 31, 2016, the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Performance — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
The information provided on the performance pages relates to the State Street Income V.I.S. Fund (the “Fund”).
Total return performance shown in this report for the Fund takes into account changes in share price and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. Total returns shown are net of Fund fees and expenses but do not reflect fees and charges associated with the variable contracts such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges, which, if reflected, would reduce the Fund’s total returns for all periods shown.
The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Periods less than one year are not annualized. Please call toll-free (800) 242-0134 or visit the Fund’s website at http://www.ssga.com/geam for the most recent month-end performance data.
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. An investment in the Fund is subject to risk, including possible loss of principal invested.
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged market value-weighted index of taxable investment grade debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of one year or more. This index is designed to represent the performance of the U.S. investment-grade first rate bond market.
The results shown for the foregoing index assume the reinvestment of net dividends or interest and do not reflect fees, expenses, or taxes. As such, the index returns do not reflect the actual cost of investing in the instruments that comprise the index.
The peer universe of the underlying annuity funds used for the peer group average annual total return calculation is based on a blend of Morningstar peer categories, as shown. Morningstar is an independent mutual fund rating service. A Fund’s performance may be compared to or ranked within a universe of mutual funds with investment objectives and policies similar but not necessarily identical to that of the Fund.

State Street Income V.I.S. Fund
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
Q. | How did the State Street Income V.I.S. Fund perform compared to its benchmark for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016? |
A. | For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016, the State Street Income V.I.S. Fund returned 2.98%. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund’s benchmark, returned 2.65% and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 220 U.S. Insurance Intermediate-Term Bond funds returned an average of 3.22% over the same period. |
Q. | What market factors affected the Fund’s performance? |
A. | The two primary market factors that affected the Fund’s performance were the movement in interest rates and credit spreads over the period. U.S. Treasury yields fell in the first half of 2016 as the timing of a Federal Reserve rate hike was pushed out due to slow growth expectations. The U.S. Treasury 10 year note yield hit a low of 1.35% in July of 2016 from 2.28% at the start of the year. Rates jumped higher after the November elections. President-elect Trump’s proposal for fiscal stimulus, tax cuts and regulatory reform increased investors’ growth outlook and increased the probability of a rate hike which was met in December when the Federal Open Market Committee raised its Fed Funds target to 0.50-0.75%. The 10-year treasury yield ended the year at 2.45%. Credit spreads spiked early in the year but then steadily tightened from mid-February of 2016 until year-end. The option-adjusted spread (“OAS”) on the Bloomberg Barclays US Credit Index peaked at +200 basis points (“bps”) in February and finished the year at +118 bps, down -40 bps for the year. Similarly, the OAS on the Barclays US High Yield Index reached +840 bps before dropping to +410 bps by year-end (down -220 bps for the year). |
Q. | What were the primary drivers of Fund performance? |
A. | The largest driver of the Fund’s outperformance versus its benchmark came from its relative sector allocation. Exposure to high yield (not in the benchmark) added over +65 bps as the Ba/B rated high yield market returned over +14%. The overweight in investment grade credit added roughly +25 bps due to tightening spreads. The Fund’s duration and curve positioning biased towards lower rates in the first half and a steeper curve in the second half contributed roughly +30 bps. Security selection in investment grade credit and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) added slightly to performance. The use of CDXHY (high yield credit swap) as a hedge against the cash positions detracted roughly -10 bps. |
Q. | Were there any significant changes to the Fund during the period? |
A. | The Fund’s duration positioning was biased long relative to the benchmark in the first half of the year then was reduced to neutral in the third quarter and maintained throughout the rest of the year. In general, the credit risk of the Fund was reduced during the year. The spread duration targets (excess above the index) for CMBS, investment grade and high-yield credit were cut nearly in half as credit spreads tightened during the year. |

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2016.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. Additionally, the expenses shown do not reflect the fees or charges associated with variable contracts through which shares of the Fund are offered.
| | | | | | | | |
| | Actual Fund Return | | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) | |
Account value at the beginning of the period | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.00 | |
Account value at the end of the period | | $ | 981.00 | | | $ | 1,019.36 | |
Expenses paid during the period* | | $ | 5.73 | | | $ | 5.84 | |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 1.15% (for the period July 1, 2016-December 31, 2016), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). |

(b) | The securities information regarding holdings, allocations and other characteristics is presented to illustrate examples of securities that the Fund has bought and the diversity of areas in which the Fund may invest as of a particular date.

* | Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) are nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. The quality ratings represent the lower of Moody’s or S&P credit ratings. When a rating from only one of the rating agencies is available, that rating is used. Securities not rated by Moody’s or S&P are categorized as not rated. Credit quality measures a bond issuer’s ability to repay interest and principal in a timely manner. Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subject to change periodically and are not absolute standards of quality. In formulating investment decisions for the Fund, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. develops its own analysis of the credit quality and risks associated with individual debt instruments, rather than relying exclusively on rating agency ratings. |

Past performance does not predict future performance. The performance shown in the graphs and tables does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares and does not reflect the fees or charges that would be associated with variable contracts through which shares of the Fund are offered.

2. | | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. There are no items to report.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Company:
Securities Valuation and Transactions All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost for both financial statement and federal tax purposes.
Foreign Currency Accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange 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 such transactions.
All assets and liabilities of the Fund initially expressed in foreign currency values will be converted into U.S. dollars at the WM/Reuters exchange rate computed at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time.

State Street Income V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities during the year. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized or unrealized gain or loss from investments. Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains or losses on sales and maturities of foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference between the amount of net investment income and withholding taxes accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received or paid, and gains or losses between the trade and settlement date on purchases and sales of foreign securities. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities (including foreign currencies and open foreign currency contracts) as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are included as increases or decreases in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency related transactions.
Derivatives The Fund is subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may enter into various types of derivative transactions (such as options, interest rate futures, interest-only swaps, interest rate swaps, index swaps and credit default swaps) to manage yield, interest rate exposure (also known as duration) and exposure to credit quality, and to gain exposure to certain market segments.
Futures Contracts A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument, currency or index at a particular price and future date. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund invested in futures contracts on bonds and notes to manage duration of fixed income securities. Buying futures tends to increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument while selling futures tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge other Fund investments. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. The Fund’s risks in using these contracts include changes in the value of the underlying instruments, non-performance of the counterparties under the contracts’ terms and changes in the liquidity of the secondary market for the contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they principally trade.
Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, known as initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the fair value of the underlying security. The Fund records an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may incur a loss. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss on the expiration or closing of a futures contract.
Credit Default Swaps During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund engaged in credit default swaps to manage credit risk. When the Fund is the buyer in a credit default swap contract, the Fund is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed upon) value (full notional value) of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty (or central clearing party (“CCP”) in the case of a centrally cleared swap) to the contract if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer or sovereign issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, the Fund pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Fund loses its investment and recovers nothing. However, if a credit event occurs, the Fund receives full notional value for a referenced debt obligation that may have little or no value. When the Fund is the seller of a credit default swap, it receives a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the contract, provided there is no credit event. If a credit event occurs, the Fund is obligated to pay the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Fund could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Fund for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Fund may create economic leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is

recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Fund also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. For centrally cleared swaps, the daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the CCP daily. All upfront payments, if any, are amortized over the life of the swap as realized gains or losses. Those upfront payments that are paid or received, typically for non-centrally cleared swaps, are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, net of amortization. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments, if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swaps to determine the market value of swaps. The Fund segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller. The Fund segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to any unrealized depreciation of the credit default swaps of which it is the buyer, marked to market on a daily basis. Credit default swaps involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the referenced debt obligation directly. If the Fund is a buyer of a credit default swap and no credit event occurs, the Fund will not earn any return on its investment. If the Fund is a seller of a credit default swap, the Fund’s risk of loss may be the entire notional amount of the swap. Swaps may also subject the Fund to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction may not fulfill its obligation. In the case of centrally cleared swaps, counterparty risk is minimal due to protections provided by the CCP.
When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when issued or forward commitment basis. These transactions are arrangements in which the Fund purchases and sells securities with payment and delivery scheduled a month or more after entering into the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when these securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the commitments. In connection with such purchases, the Fund maintains cash or liquid assets in an amount equal to the purchase commitments for such underlying securities until settlement date and for sales commitments the Fund maintains equivalent deliverable securities as “cover” for the transaction. Unsettled commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying security. Daily fluctuations in the value of such commitments are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Fund will not enter into such commitments for the purpose of investment leverage.
Investments in Foreign Markets Investments in foreign markets involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, restrictions on repatriation of income and capital, and adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls, tariffs and taxes, subject to delays in settlements, and their prices may be more volatile.
The Fund may be subject to capital gains and repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based upon income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued based on net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation as income and/or capital gains are earned. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of December 31, 2016, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Investment Income Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable withholding taxes, except for certain foreign corporate actions which are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as such information becomes available. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on taxable bonds are to the call or maturity date, whichever is shorter, using the effective yield method.
Expenses Fund specific expenses are charged to the Fund that incurs such expenses. Such expenses may include custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees. Expenses that are not fund specific are allocated pro rata across the Funds. Expenses of the Fund are generally paid directly by the Fund, however, expenses may be paid by the investment adviser and reimbursed by the Fund.

State Street Income V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution of substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. The Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and providing related disclosures. Broadly, the framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. It also establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs.
Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
| • | | Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets. |
| • | | Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. |
| • | | Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. |
Policies and procedures are maintained to value investments using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, pricing vendors are utilized to assist in valuing investments. The investment adviser performs periodic reviews of the methodologies used by independent pricing services including price validation of individual securities.
Fair Value Measurement The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Fund uses to measure different financial investments at fair value.
Debt securities (other than short-term securities described below) generally are valued at an evaluated bid price as reported by independent pricing services. The pricing services use various pricing models for each asset class. The inputs and assumptions to the model of the pricing services are derived from market observable sources, which may include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and other market related data. Since many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, the methodology of the pricing service may also use other available information as applicable such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of similar securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing. Thus, certain securities may not be priced using quoted prices, but rather determined from market observable information. These investments are included in Level 2 and are primarily comprised of corporate fixed income, government, mortgage and asset-backed securities. In the absence of a reliable bid price from such a pricing service, debt securities may be valued based on broker or dealer supplied valuations or quotations. In these infrequent circumstances, pricing services may provide the Fund with valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, and in those circumstances the investment securities are classified as Level 3.
The Fund may use non-binding broker or dealer quotes for valuation when there is limited or no relevant market activity for a specific investment or for other investments that share similar characteristics and a price is not provided by a pricing service or is deemed not to be reliable. The Fund has not adjusted the prices obtained. Investment securities priced using non-binding broker or dealer quotes are included in Level 3.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are typically valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value and these are included in Level 2. If it is determined that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, securities may be valued based on dealer supplied valuations or quotations. In these infrequent circumstances, pricing services may provide the Fund with valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, and in those circumstances the investment securities are classified in Level 3.

State Street Income V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
Investments in registered investment companies are valued at the published daily net asset value (“NAV”) and classified in Level 1.
If prices are not readily available for a portfolio security, or if it is believed that a price for a portfolio security does not represent its fair value, the security may be valued using procedures approved by the Company’s Board of Directors that are designed to establish its “fair” value. These securities are typically classified in Level 3. Those procedures require that the fair value of a security be established by a valuation committee of the investment adviser. The valuation committee follows different protocols for different types of investments and circumstances. The fair value procedures may be used to value any investment of the Fund in the appropriate circumstances.
Fair value determinations generally are used for securities whose value is affected by a significant event that will materially affect the value of a security and which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such security trades but prior to the calculation of the Fund’s NAV.
The value established for such a portfolio security valued other than by use of a market quotation (as described above) may be different than what would be produced through the use of market quotations or another methodology. Portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that the Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time and it is possible that the Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.
Other financial investments are derivative instruments that are not reflected in total investments, such as futures, forwards, swaps, and written options contracts, which are valued based on fair value as discussed above.
The Fund uses closing prices for derivatives included in Level 1, which are traded either on exchanges or liquid over-the-counter markets. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, credit default swaps and foreign currency and commodity forward and option contracts. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 3 primarily represent interest rate products that contain embedded optionality or prepayment features.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following table presents the Fund’s investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2016:

Prior to July 1, 2016, the Company shared a revolving credit facility of up to $150 million with a number of its affiliates. The credit facility was with the Company’s custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). The revolving credit facility required the payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum on the daily unused portion of the credit facility, payable quarterly. The portion borne by each Fund generally was borne proportionally based upon net assets. Generally, borrowings under the credit facility would accrue interest at the higher of the 1-Month LIBOR plus 1.25% and the Overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% and would be borne by the borrowing Fund. The maximum amount allowed to be borrowed by any one Fund was the lesser of (i) 33.33% of its total assets or (ii) 20% of its net assets. The credit facility was not utilized by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The revolving credit facility with State Street was terminated effective June 30, 2016.

Currently, the Funds and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in a $360 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires October 12, 2017, 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. 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% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate. From July 1, 2016, the date the Funds were added to this credit facility, through October 12, 2016, interest was calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the New York Fed Bank Rate plus 1%.
The credit facilities were not utilized by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2016.
6. | | Compensation and Fees Paid to Affiliates |
SSGA FM, a registered investment adviser, was retained by the Company’s Board of Directors effective July 1, 2016 to act as investment adviser and administrator of the Fund. SSGA FM’s compensation for investment advisory and administrative services (“Management Fee”) is paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of the Fund at an annualized rate of 0.50%.
State Street serves as the sub-administrator and custodian to the Funds. Amounts paid by the Fund to State Street for performing such services are included in advisory and administration and custody and accounting expenses, respectively.
Prior to July 1, 2016, GEAM served as the Fund’s investment adviser and administrator and the Fund paid GEAM a Management Fee at an annualized rate of 0.50%.
Directors’ Compensation The Fund pays no compensation to its Directors who are officers or employees of SSGA FM or its affiliates. Directors who are not such officers or employees also serve in a similar capacity for other funds advised by SSGA FM. Compensation paid to non-interested Directors is reflected on the Statement of Operations. These fees are allocated pro rata across all of the mutual fund platforms served by the Directors, including the Fund, and are based upon the relative net assets of each fund within such platforms. (For additional information about Directors’ compensation, please refer to the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.)
Other Transactions with Affiliates In December 2015, State Street announced a review of the manner in which it invoiced certain expenses to certain of its Investment Servicing clients, primarily in the United States, during an 18-year period going back to 1998 and its determination that it had incorrectly invoiced clients for certain expenses. State Street informed its clients that it will pay to them the expenses it concluded were incorrectly invoiced to them, plus interest.
The Fund was impacted by this matter. The amounts in the table below represent the refunded expenses and interest received by the Fund for the periods in question.

Affiliated Investments The Fund may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Fund owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
The Fund is subject to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for financial accounting and reporting for the effects of income taxes that result from an entity’s activities during the year. ASC 740 also provides guidance regarding how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. There are no adjustments to the Fund’s net assets required under ASC 740. The Fund’s 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 fiscal year tax returns are still open to examination by the Federal and applicable state tax authorities.
At December 31, 2016, information on the tax cost of investments and distributable earnings on a tax basis was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cost of Investments For Tax Purposes | | Gross Tax | | Net Tax Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | Undistributed Income | | Undistributed Accum. Capital Gain/(Loss) | | Late-Year Losses |
| Appreciation | | Depreciation | | Investments | | Derivatives/ Currency | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| $ | 28,931,083 | | | | $ | 457,443 | | | | $ | (454,919 | ) | | | $ | 2,524 | | | | $ | (20,396 | ) | | | $ | — | | | | $ | (7,203,408 | ) | | | $ | (175,582 | ) |
Capital loss carryovers are available to offset future realized capital gains to the extent provided in the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder. To the extent that these carryover losses are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains offset will not be distributed to shareholders because they would be taxable as ordinary income.
As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had capital loss carryovers as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Amount |
Short-Term | | Long-Term | | Expires |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| $ | 7,203,408 | | | | $ | — | | | | | 12/31/2017 | |
These amounts will be available to offset future taxable capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment tax years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund utilized $261,704 of prior year capital loss carryovers.
Any qualified late-year loss is deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next tax year (if the Fund elects to defer such loss). Under this regime, generally, the Fund can elect to defer any post-October capital loss and/or any late-year ordinary loss as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.
The Fund incurred $175,582 of late-year capital losses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Year | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | | $ | 475,102 | | | | $ | — | | | | $ | 475,102 | |

Distributions to Shareholders The Fund declares and pays any dividends from net investment income annually. The Fund declares and pays any net realized capital gains in excess of capital loss carryforwards distributions annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These differences include (but are not limited to) investments in futures and swaps, defaulted bonds, distributions in excess of earnings and losses due to wash sale transactions. Reclassifications due to permanent book/tax differences are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations. These reclassifications have no impact on net investment income, realized gains or losses, or the NAV of the Fund. The calculation of net investment income per share in the Financial Highlights table excludes these adjustments.
The reclassifications for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | | Capital Paid In |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | $ (66,542) | | | | $ | 70,109 | | | | $ | (3,567 | ) |
KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) served as the independent registered certified public accounting firm of the Company through its resignation as of June 30, 2016. On September 9, 2016, upon recommendation by the Audit Committee of the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors selected Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) to replace KPMG as the independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
The reports of KPMG on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years or periods.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Funds requested and KPMG furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the above statements. A copy of such letter was filed as Exhibit 77 to Form N-SAR for the period ended December 31, 2016.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through September 9, 2016, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted EY on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulations S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of said Item 304).

State Street Income V.I.S. Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. and Shareholders of State Street Income V.I.S. Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the State Street Income V.I.S. Fund (formerly GE Investments Income Fund) (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. (formerly GE Investment Funds, Inc.)) (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for periods ended prior to January 1, 2016 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 19, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement of changes in net assets and those financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the State Street Income V.I.S. Fund (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc.) at December 31, 2016, the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Performance — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
The information provided on the performance pages relates to the State Street U.S. Equity V.I.S. Fund (the “Fund”).
Total return performance shown in this report for the Fund takes into account changes in share price and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. Total returns shown are net of Fund fees and expenses but do not reflect fees and charges associated with the variable contracts such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges, which, if reflected, would reduce the Fund’s total returns for all periods shown.
The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Periods less than one year are not annualized. Please call toll-free (800) 242-0134 or visit the Fund’s website at http://www.ssga.com/geam for the most recent month-end performance data.
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. An investment in the Fund is subject to risk, including possible loss of principal invested.
The S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged, market capitalization-weighted index of stocks of 500 large U.S. companies, which is widely used as a measure of large-cap U.S. stock market performance. The results shown for the foregoing index assume the reinvestment of net dividends or interest and do not reflect fees, expenses, or taxes. As such, the index returns do not reflect the actual cost of investing in the instruments that comprise the index.
The peer universe of the underlying annuity funds used for the peer group average annual total return calculation is based on a blend of Morningstar peer categories, as shown. Morningstar is an independent mutual fund rating service.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
Q. | How did the State Street U.S. Equity V.I.S. Fund perform compared to its benchmark and Morningstar peer group for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016? |
A. | For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016, the State Street U.S. Equity V.I.S. Fund returned 9.31%. The S&P 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), the Fund’s benchmark, returned 11.96% and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 295 U.S. Insurance Large Blend Funds returned an average of 11.08% over the same period. |
Q. | What market factors affected the Fund’s performance? |
A. | 2016 was a year of rotating market regimes and mixed sector performance which posed challenges for the long-term fundamental investor. Issues buffeting U.S. equities ranged from China currency and growth concerns, to a growing wave of populism leading to the twin surprises of the United Kingdom’s June 2016 referendum vote to withdraw from the European Union and Donald Trump’s presidential victory. |
| Early in the year, defensive stocks outperformed amid fears that a slowing China would crush global economies. However by year-end, telecommunications (+23%) was the only defensive “bond-proxy” to hold strong leadership, while real estate (+3%) and staples (+5%) lagged. Energy (+27%) and financials (+23%) won as interest rates rose and oil prices strengthened — bolstered by OPEC’s late-year production-cut pledge. Industrials (+19%) and materials (+17%) also rallied amid hopes for fiscal stimulus and infrastructure spending in the President-elect Trump era. Health care (-3%) was the index’s sole negative-returning sector, plagued by negative sentiment around drug pricing, and mixed M&A performance. In our opinion, the health care sector continues to offer the best combination of earnings growth (+8% for the next 12 months) and valuation at the low-end of its historical range. On a fundamental basis we continue to find attractive investment opportunities in the health care, and have added to core positions at low valuations this year. |
| The market de-rated growth stocks this year, which is not surprising given relative outperformance in the energy, financials, materials and industrials sectors. The value style of investing beat growth across all market capitalization buckets — by significant margins; and small caps outperformed large capitalization stocks. In terms of size, the outlook for pro-domestic President-elect Trump policies benefitted small-cap and lower-quality stock performance. |
Q. | What were the primary drivers of Fund performance? |
A. | The Fund’s overweight in the lagging health care sector weighed on results. Our biotechnology and pharmaceuticals holdings detracted most from performance against a backdrop of negative election-year rhetoric around drug pricing. One pharmaceutical holding was involved in a large M&A transaction that broke, causing a significant negative effect. We maintained conviction in its prospects as a standalone specialty pharma company, and added to the position on weakness. In general, we have found a good combination of valuation and earnings growth potential in the health care sector, and believe the negative pricing rhetoric has been overly discounted. Finally, improving commodity prices and hopes for increased infrastructure spending under President-elect Trump lifted the materials sector and the Fund was light in the most economically-sensitive materials companies, including the mining companies. We believe — eight years into the business cycle — that it is too late to be especially pro-cyclically tilted in materials. |
| On the other hand, strong stock selection in consumer discretionary and Information technology (“IT”) bolstered returns. Among consumer cyclicals, several of the Fund’s U.S. media holdings demonstrated strong results, seemingly immune to economic growth fears early in the year. Broad-based stock selection strength benefited our IT holdings — the Fund’s communications equipment, semiconductor, storage and IT services holdings outperformed. Finally, the Fund benefited from strong stock selection in industrials, as economic fundamentals improved and the Trump victory fueled hopes for more growth ahead. |
| The Fund does not invest in derivatives securities as part of its strategy, but may hold futures contracts or exchange traded funds to equitize cash flows in advance of investment. The effect of derivatives on performance was deminimus for the year. |
Q. | Were there any significant changes in the Fund during the period? |
A. | There were no changes during the period in the portfolio management team or their fundamental, bottom-up approach to investing. Health care and financials remained key sector overweights, and we increased our financials exposure somewhat as the Federal Reserve’s path of rate normalization came into focus. The Fund maintains a modest cyclical tilted eight years into the business cycle. We are comfortable with our moderate pro-cyclical positioning as we think this business cycle may even reach extra innings due to the slow growth of this recovery, and potential growth from the new administration’s fiscal policies. |

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2016.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. Additionally, the expenses shown do not reflect the fees or charges associated with variable contracts through which shares of the Fund are offered.
| | | | | | | | |
| | Actual Fund Return | | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) | |
Account value at the beginning of the period July 1, 2016 | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.00 | |
Account value at the end of the period December 31, 2016 | | $ | 1,081.80 | | | $ | 1,020.86 | |
Expenses paid during the period* | | $ | 4.45 | | | $ | 4.32 | |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 0.85%** (for the period July 1, 2016 — December 31, 2016), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
** | May differ from expense ratio disclosed in the financial highlights, which is calculated based on the entire fiscal year’s data. |

State Street U.S. Equity V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements — December 31, 2016
1. | | Organization of the Company |
State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on May 14, 1984 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Prior to November 30, 2016, the Company was named GE Investments Funds, Inc. The Company is currently composed of the following eight investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”): State Street U.S. Equity V.I.S. Fund (the “Fund”), State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund, State Street Premier Growth Equity V.I.S. Fund, State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund, State Street Small-Cap Equity V.I.S. Fund, State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund, State Street Income V.I.S. Fund and State Street Real Estate Securities V.I.S. Fund. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. Each Fund is a diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act.
Effective November 30, 2016, each individual Fund changed its respective name as follows:
| | |
Old Name | | New Name |
GE Investments U.S. Equity Fund GE Investments S&P 500 Index Fund GE Investments Premier Growth Equity Fund GE Investments Core Value Equity Fund GE Investments Small-Cap Equity Fund GE Investments Total Return Fund GE Investments Income Fund GE Investments Real Estate Securities Fund | | State Street U.S. Equity V.I.S.

Fund State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund State Street Income V.I.S. Fund State Street Real Estate Securities V.I.S. Fund |
Shares of the Funds of the Company are offered only to insurance company separate accounts that fund certain variable life insurance contracts and variable annuity contracts. SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) is the investment adviser and administrator of each of the Funds effective July 1, 2016. Prior to July 1, 2016, GE Asset Management Incorporated (“GEAM”) served as the investment adviser and administrator to each Fund.
The Company currently offers one share class (Class 1) of the Fund as an investment option for variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts.
2. | | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. There are no items to report.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Company:
Securities Valuation and Transactions All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost for both financial statement and federal tax purposes.
Derivatives The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may enter into various types of derivative transactions (such as options, futures, and options on futures) to gain or hedge exposure to certain types of securities as an alternative to investing directly in or selling such securities.
Foreign Currency Accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange 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 such transactions.

14 | | Notes to Financial Statements |
State Street U.S. Equity V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
All assets and liabilities of the Fund initially expressed in foreign currency values will be converted into U.S. dollars at the WM/Reuters exchange rate computed at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time.
The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities during the year. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized or unrealized gain or loss from investments. Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains or losses on sales and maturities of foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference between the amount of net investment income and withholding taxes accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received or paid, and gains or losses between the trade and settlement date on purchases and sales of foreign securities. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities (including foreign currencies and open foreign currency contracts) as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are included as increases or decreases in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency related transactions.
Futures Contracts A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument, currency or index at a particular price and future date. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund invested in stock index futures contracts to gain equity exposure for accumulating and residual cash positions. Buying futures tends to increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument while selling futures tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge other Fund investments. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. The Fund’s risks in using these contracts include changes in the value of the underlying instruments, non-performance of the counterparties under the contracts’ terms and changes in the liquidity of the secondary market for the contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they principally trade.
Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, known as initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the fair value of the underlying security. The Fund records an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may incur a loss. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss on the expiration or closing of a futures contract.
Investment Income Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable withholding taxes, except for certain foreign corporate actions which are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as such information becomes available. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on taxable bonds are to the call or maturity date, whichever is shorter, using the effective yield method.
Expenses Fund specific expenses are charged to the Fund that incurs such expenses. Such expenses may include custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees. Expenses that are not fund specific are allocated pro rata across the Funds. Expenses of the Fund are generally paid directly by the Fund, however, expenses may be paid by the investment adviser and reimbursed by the Fund.
Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution of substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. The Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and providing related disclosures. Broadly, the framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the

measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. It also establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs.
Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
| • | | Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets. |
| • | | Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. |
| • | | Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. |
Policies and procedures are maintained to value investments using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, pricing vendors are utilized to assist in valuing investments. The investment adviser performs periodic reviews of the methodologies used by independent pricing services including price validation of individual securities.
Fair Value Measurement The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Fund uses to measure different financial investments at fair value.
The Fund’s portfolio securities are valued generally on the basis of market quotations. Equity securities generally are valued at the last reported sale price on the primary market in which they are traded. Portfolio securities listed on NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Level 1 securities primarily include publicly-traded equity securities, which may not necessarily represent the last sales price. If no sales occurred on the exchange or NASDAQ that day, the portfolio security generally is valued using the last reported bid price. In those circumstances, the Fund typically classifies the investment securities in Level 2.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are typically valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value and these are included in Level 2. If it is determined that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, securities may be valued based on dealer supplied valuations or quotations. In these infrequent circumstances, pricing services may provide the Fund with valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, and in those circumstances the investment securities are classified in Level 3.
Investments in registered investment companies are valued at the published daily net asset value (“NAV”) and classified in Level 1.
If prices are not readily available for a portfolio security, or if it is believed that a price for a portfolio security does not represent its fair value, the security may be valued using procedures approved by the Company’s Board of Directors that are designed to establish its “fair” value. These securities are typically classified in Level 3. Those procedures require that the fair value of a security be established by a valuation committee of the investment adviser. The valuation committee follows different protocols for different types of investments and circumstances. The fair value procedures may be used to value any investment of the Fund in the appropriate circumstances.
Fair value determinations generally are used for securities whose value is affected by a significant event that will materially affect the value of a security and which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such security trades but prior to the calculation of the Fund’s NAV.
The value established for such a portfolio security valued other than by use of a market quotation (as described above) may be different than what would be produced through the use of market quotations or another methodology. Portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that the Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time and it is possible that the Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.

Other financial investments are derivative instruments that are not reflected in total investments, such as futures, forwards, swaps, and written options contracts, which are valued based on fair value as discussed above.
The Fund uses closing prices for derivatives included in Level 1, which are traded either on exchanges or liquid over-the-counter markets. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency and commodity forward and option contracts. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 3 primarily represent interest rate products that contain embedded optionality or prepayment features.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Prior to July 1, 2016, the Company shared a revolving credit facility of up to $150 million with a number of its affiliates. The credit facility was with the Company’s custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). The revolving credit facility required the payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum on the daily unused portion of the credit facility, payable quarterly. The portion borne by each Fund generally was borne proportionally based upon net assets. Generally, borrowings under the credit facility would accrue interest at the higher of the 1-Month LIBOR plus 1.25% and the Overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% and would be borne by the borrowing Fund. The maximum amount allowed to be borrowed by any one Fund was the lesser of (i) 33.33% of its total assets or (ii) 20% of its net assets. The credit facility was not utilized by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The revolving credit facility with State Street was terminated effective June 30, 2016.
Currently, the Funds and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in a $360 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires October 12, 2017, 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. 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% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate. From July 1, 2016, the date the Funds were added to this credit facility, through October 12, 2016, interest was calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the New York Fed Bank Rate plus 1%.
The credit facilities were not utilized by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
6. | | Compensation and Fees Paid to Affiliates |
SSGA FM, a registered investment adviser, was retained by the Company’s Board of Directors effective July 1, 2016 to act as investment adviser and administrator of the Fund. SSGA FM’s compensation for investment advisory and administrative services (“Management Fee”) is paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of the Fund at an annualized rate of 0.55%.
State Street serves as sub-administrator and custodian to the funds. Amounts paid by the Fund to State Street for performing such services are included in the advisory and administration and custody and accounting expenses, respectively.
Prior to July 1, 2016, GEAM served as the Fund’s investment adviser and administrator and the Fund paid GEAM a Management Fee at an annualized rate of 0.55%.
Directors’ Compensation The Fund pays no compensation to its Directors who are officers or employees of SSGA FM or its affiliates. Directors who are not such officers or employees also serve in a similar capacity for other funds advised by SSGA FM. Compensation paid to non-interested Directors is reflected on the Statement of Operations. These fees are allocated pro rata across all of the mutual fund platforms served by the Directors, including the Fund, and are based upon the relative net assets of each fund within such platforms. (For additional information about Directors’ compensation, please refer to the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.)
Other Transactions with Affiliates In December 2015, State Street announced a review of the manner in which it invoiced certain expenses to certain of its Investment Servicing clients, primarily in the United States, during an 18-year period going back to 1998 and its determination that it had incorrectly invoiced clients for certain expenses. State Street informed its clients that it will pay to them the expenses it concluded were incorrectly invoiced to them, plus interest.
The Fund was impacted by this matter. The amounts in the table below represent the refunded expenses and interest received by the Fund for the periods in question.

Non-U.S. Government Securities |
Purchases | | Sales |
| | | | | | | | |
| $ | 10,159,191 | | | | $ | 16,355,629 | |
Affiliated Investments The Fund may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Fund owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
The Fund is subject to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for financial accounting and reporting for the effects of income taxes that result from an entity’s activities during the year. ASC 740 also provides guidance regarding how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. There are no adjustments to the Fund’s net assets required under ASC 740. The Fund’s 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 fiscal year tax returns are still open to examination by the Federal and applicable state tax authorities.
At December 31, 2016, information on the tax cost of investments and distributable earnings on a tax basis was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cost of Investments For Tax Purposes | | Gross Tax | | Net Tax Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | Undistributed Income | | Undistributed Accum. Capital Gain/(Loss) | | Late-Year Losses |

As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had no capital loss carryovers. Capital loss carryovers are available to offset future realized capital gains to the extent provided in the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder. To the extent that these carryover losses are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains offset will not be distributed to shareholders because they would be taxable as ordinary income.
Any qualified late-year loss is deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next tax year (if the Fund elects to defer such loss). Under this regime, generally, the Fund can elect to defer any post-October capital loss and/or any late-year ordinary loss as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.
The Fund incurred no such losses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Year | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
| | 2016 | | | | $ | 320,358 | | | | $ | 2,161,189 | | | | $ | 2,481,547 | |
| | 2015 | | | | | 349,409 | | | | | 3,073,095 | | | | | 3,422,504 | |
Distributions to Shareholders The Fund declares and pays any dividends from net investment income annually. The Fund declares and pays any net realized capital gains in excess of capital loss carryforwards distributions annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These differences include (but are not limited to) distributions from Real Estate Investment Trusts, return of capital from securities, losses deferred due to wash sales transactions and investments in futures. Reclassifications due to permanent book/tax differences are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations. These reclassifications have no impact on net investment income, realized gains or losses, or the NAV of the Fund. The calculation of net investment income per share in the Financial Highlights table excludes these adjustments.

KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) served as the independent registered certified public accounting firm of the Company through its resignation as of June 30, 2016. On September 9, 2016, upon recommendation by the Audit Committee of the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors selected Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) to replace KPMG as the independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
The reports of KPMG on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years or periods.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Funds requested and KPMG furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the above statements. A copy of such letter was filed as Exhibit 77 to Form N-SAR for the period ended December 31, 2016.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through September 9, 2016, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted EY on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulations S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of said Item 304).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. and Shareholders of State Street U.S. Equity V.I.S. Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the State Street U.S. Equity V.I.S. Fund (formerly GE Investments U.S. Equity Fund) (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. (formerly GE Investment Funds, Inc.)) (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for periods ended prior to January 1, 2016 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 19, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement of changes in net assets and those financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the State Street U.S. Equity V.I.S. Fund (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc.) at December 31, 2016, the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The information provided on the performance page relates to the State Street Total Return V.I.S Fund (the “Fund”).

State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
Q. | How did the State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund perform compared to its benchmark and Morningstar peer group for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016? |
A. | For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016, the State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund returned 6.35% for Class 1 shares and 6.08% for Class 3 shares. The Fund’s broad based benchmarks, the S&P 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), the MSCI® All Country World ex-U.S. Index, and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 11.96%, 4.50% and 2.65%, respectively. The Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 348 U.S. Insurance Fund Moderate Allocation funds returned an average of 6.47% over the same period. |
Q. | What market factors affected the Fund’s performance? |
A. | 2016 presented a range of challenges and opportunities for investors. After starting the year with considerable weakness in January and February, risk asset markets rebounded sharply. The growth fears that dominated those early weeks gave way to expectations for a more stable, though still subdued macro backdrop. For bond markets this led to continued declines in government bond yields, while equity markets were generally well supported by growth as well as accommodative central bank expectations. |
| As the year progressed, two main events dominated returns and the macro backdrop — the United Kingdom’s June 2016 referendum vote to withdraw from the European Union (the “BREXIT Vote”) and the U.S. presidential election. In the end, both events produced short-term spikes in market volatility. Following the BREXIT Vote, equity markets were weak for a short time before recovering. However, the weakness in British Pound and, to a lesser extent, the euro was longer lasting given the political and economic uncertainty that followed. |
| Following the U.S. presidential election, equity market weakness was confined to a few hours before giving way to a strong positive move through the end of the year driven by stronger growth expectations. Forecasts for more favorable fiscal policy courtesy of increased spending and tax cuts plus less regulation played a large role in this move, which also drove substantial outperformance of U.S. equities relative to international markets. Moreover, a sharp appreciation of the dollar through that time contributed to U.S. dollar-based outperformance. Finally, stronger growth and inflation expectations, alongside a related rise in expectations for tighter Federal Reserve policy in 2017 resulted in a sharp rise in U.S. Treasury yields in the fourth quarter. In the end, rates were not much changed for the year, but did experience a big move in the fourth quarter while U.S. equities posted a solid gain for all of 2016. |
Q. | What were the primary drivers of Fund performance? |
A. | For the year as a whole, the biggest positive driver of returns came from U.S. equities which rose more than 10%, with solid gains in the fourth quarter. While a smaller allocation in the overall fund, mid-cap equity markets rose more than 20% in 2016, with a gain of over 7% in the fourth quarter. Fixed income markets produced modest gains of less than 3% in 2016. However, the fourth quarter was much to blame for the full year result, with a decline of over 3% in the quarter on the back of rising interest rates. Finally, international equity markets lagged the U.S. considerably for the year, leading to a modest positive return in the aggregate for the asset class. |
| Relative to our strategic benchmark, our underweight allocation to fixed income was a positive to performance given the weak returns in the asset class. Moreover, our overweight allocation to US equities was a positive contributor. Our overweight allocation to cash acted as a drag on performance, though only modestly given the corresponding underweight position in fixed income. |
| Within tactical overlay positions, a short U.S. equity futures position late in the year to protect against market volatility acted as a modest detractor to overall returns. Meanwhile a tactical position to U.S. high yield bonds yielded a positive contribution for the fourth quarter and for the year as a whole. |
Q. | Were there any significant changes to the Fund during the period? |
A. | There were no major changes to the Fund in the year. Allocation shifts within and across asset classes were consistent with historical moves. In the fourth quarter, we did modestly add to our fixed income allocation in response to higher interest rates, though we remain substantially underweight. |

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2016.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. Additionally, the expenses shown do not reflect the fees or charges associated with variable contracts through which shares of the Fund are offered.

Expenses paid during the period* | | $ | 4.19 | | | $ | 4.17 | |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratios of 0.57%** for Class 1 and 0.82%** for Class 3 (for the period July 1, 2016 – December 31, 2016), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
** | May differ from expense ratio disclosed in the financial highlights, which is calculated based on the entire fiscal year’s data. |

State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements — December 31, 2016
1. | | Organization of the Company |
State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on May 14, 1984 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Prior to November 30, 2016, the Company was named GE Investments Funds, Inc. The Company is currently composed of the following eight investment portfolios (collectively the “Funds”): State Street U.S. Equity V.I.S. Fund, State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund, State Street Premier Growth Equity V.I.S. Fund, State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund, State Street Small-Cap Equity V.I.S. Fund, State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund (the “Fund”), State Street Income V.I.S. Fund and State Street Real Estate Securities V.I.S. Fund. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. Each Fund is a diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act.
Effective November 30, 2016, each individual Fund changed its respective name as follows:
| | |
Old Name | | New Name |
GE Investments U.S. Equity Fund | | State Street U.S. Equity V.I.S. Fund |
GE Investments S&P 500 Index Fund | | State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund |
GE Investments Premier Growth Equity Fund | | State Street Premier Growth Equity V.I.S. Fund |
GE Investments Core Value Equity Fund | | State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund |
GE Investments Small-Cap Equity Fund | | State Street Small-Cap Equity V.I.S. Fund |

GE Investments Real Estate Securities Fund | | State Street Real Estate Securities V.I.S. Fund |
Shares of the Funds of the Company are offered only to insurance company separate accounts that fund certain variable life insurance contracts and variable annuity contracts. SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) is the investment adviser and administrator of each of the Funds effective July 1, 2016. Prior to July 1, 2016, GE Asset Management Incorporated (“GEAM”) served as the investment adviser and administrator to each Fund.
The Company currently offers two share classes of the Fund as investment options for variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts — Class 1 and Class 3. Class 3 shares were first offered on May 1, 2006, and Fund shares outstanding prior to May 1, 2006 were designated as Class 1 shares. Each class of shares has different fees and expenses, and as a result, each class of shares will have different share price and performance. Not all variable contracts offer every class of the Fund’s shares.
2. | | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. There are no items to report.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Company:
Securities Valuation and Transactions All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost for both financial statement and federal tax purposes.
Each Fund’s income, expenses (other than distribution and service fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionally each day among the share classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.

State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
Foreign Currency Accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange 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 such transactions.
All assets and liabilities of the Fund initially expressed in foreign currency values will be converted into U.S. dollars at the WM/Reuters exchange rate computed at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time.
The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities during the year. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized or unrealized gain or loss from investments. Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains or losses on sales and maturities of foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference between the amount of net investment income and withholding taxes accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received or paid, and gains or losses between the trade and settlement date on purchases and sales of foreign securities. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities (including foreign currencies and open foreign currency contracts) as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are included as increases or decreases in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency related transactions.
Derivatives The Fund is subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may enter into various types of derivative transactions (such as options, futures, options on futures, interest rate swaps and credit default swaps) to gain or hedge exposure to a certain type of broad-based index as an alternative to investing directly in or selling the securities representing such index.
Futures Contracts A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument, currency or index at a particular price and future date. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund invested in futures contracts on various stock indices to gain equity exposure. Buying futures tends to increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument while selling futures tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge other Fund investments. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. The Fund’s risks in using these contracts include changes in the value of the underlying instruments, non-performance of the counterparties under the contracts’ terms and changes in the liquidity of the secondary market for the contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they principally trade.
Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, known as initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the fair value of the underlying security. The Fund records an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may incur a loss. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss on the expiration or closing of a futures contract.
When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when issued or forward commitment basis. These transactions are arrangements in which the Fund purchases and sells securities with payment and delivery scheduled a month or more after entering into the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when these securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the commitments. In connection with such purchases, the Fund maintains cash or liquid assets in an amount equal to the purchase commitments for such underlying securities until settlement date and for sales commitments the Fund maintains equivalent deliverable securities as “cover” for the transaction. Unsettled commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying security. Daily fluctuations in the value of such commitments are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Fund will not enter into such commitments for the purpose of investment leverage.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign denominated securities and to manage the Fund’s currency exposure. Forward foreign

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and the offered forward rates as last quoted by a recognized dealer. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Fund’s financial statements. Such amounts appear under the caption Forward Foreign Currency Contracts in the Schedule of Investments. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (or liability) and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains or losses on foreign currency related transactions. The Fund’s risks in using these contracts include changes in the value of foreign currency or the possibility that the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms. When the Fund enters into a forward foreign currency exchange contract, it is required to segregate cash or liquid securities with its custodian in an amount equal to the value of the Fund’s total assets committed to the consummation of the forward contract. If the value of the segregated securities declines, additional cash or securities are segregated so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the Fund’s commitment with respect to the contract.
Investments in Foreign Markets Investments in foreign markets involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, restrictions on repatriation of income and capital, and adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls, tariffs and taxes, subject to delays in settlements, and their prices may be more volatile.
The Fund may be subject to capital gains and repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based upon income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued based on net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation as income and/or capital gains are earned. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of December 31, 2016, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Investment Income Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable withholding taxes, except for certain foreign corporate actions which are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as such information becomes available. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on taxable bonds are to the call or maturity date, whichever is shorter, using the effective yield method.
Expenses Fund specific expenses are charged to the Fund that incurs such expenses. Such expenses may include custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees. Expenses that are not fund specific are allocated pro rata across the Funds. Certain class specific expenses (such as distribution fees) are allocated to the class that incurs such expense. Expenses of the Fund are generally paid directly by the Fund, however, expenses may be paid by the investment adviser and reimbursed by the Fund.
Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution of substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. The Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and providing related disclosures. Broadly, the framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. It also establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs.
| | | | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | | 21 | |
State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
| • | | Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets. |
| • | | Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. |
| • | | Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. |
Policies and procedures are maintained to value investments using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, pricing vendors are utilized to assist in valuing investments. The investment adviser performs periodic reviews of the methodologies used by independent pricing services including price validation of individual securities.
Fair Value Measurement The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Fund uses to measure different financial investments at fair value.
The Fund’s portfolio securities are valued generally on the basis of market quotations. Equity securities generally are valued at the last reported sale price on the primary market in which they are traded. Portfolio securities listed on NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Level 1 securities primarily include publicly-traded equity securities, which may not necessarily represent the last sales price. If no sales occurred on the exchange or NASDAQ that day, the portfolio security generally is valued using the last reported bid price. In those circumstances the Fund typically classifies the investment securities in Level 2.
Debt securities (other than short-term securities described below) generally are valued at an evaluated bid price as reported by independent pricing services. The pricing services use various pricing models for each asset class. The inputs and assumptions to the model of the pricing services are derived from market observable sources, which may include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and other market related data. Since many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, the methodology of the pricing service may also use other available information such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of similar securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing, as applicable. Thus, certain securities may not be priced using quoted prices, but rather determined from market observable information. These investments are included in Level 2 and are primarily comprised of corporate fixed income, government, mortgage and asset-backed securities. In the absence of a reliable bid price from such a pricing service, debt securities may be valued based on broker or dealer supplied valuations or quotations. In these infrequent circumstances, pricing services may provide the Fund with valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, and in those circumstances the investment securities are classified as Level 3.
The Fund may use non-binding broker or dealer quotes for valuation when there is limited or no relevant market activity for a specific investment or for other investments that share similar characteristics and a price is not provided by a pricing service or is deemed not to be reliable. The Fund has not adjusted the prices obtained. Investment securities priced using non-binding broker or dealer quotes are included in Level 3.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are typically valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value and these are included in Level 2. If it is determined that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, securities may be valued based on dealer supplied valuations or quotations. In these infrequent circumstances, pricing services may provide the Fund with valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, and in those circumstances the investment securities are classified in Level 3.
Investments in registered investment companies are valued at the published daily net asset value (“NAV”) and classified in Level 1.
If prices are not readily available for a portfolio security, or if it is believed that a price for a portfolio security does not represent its fair value, the security may be valued using procedures approved by the Company’s Board of Directors that are designed to establish its “fair” value. These securities are typically classified in Level 3. Those procedures require that the fair value of a security be established by a valuation committee of the investment adviser. The valuation committee follows different protocols for different types of investments and circumstances. The fair value procedures may be used to value any investment of the Fund in the appropriate circumstances.

State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
Foreign securities may be valued with the assistance of an independent fair value pricing service in circumstances where it is believed that they have been or would be materially affected by events occurring after the close of the portfolio security’s primary market and before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). In these circumstances the Fund classifies the investment securities in Level 2. This independent fair value pricing service uses a proprietary model to identify affected securities, taking into consideration various factors, and the fair value of such securities may be something other than the last available quotation or other market price.
All assets and liabilities of the Fund initially expressed in foreign currency values will be converted into U.S. dollars at the WM/Reuters exchange rate computed at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time.
Fair value determinations generally are used for securities whose value is affected by a significant event that will materially affect the value of a security and which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such security trades but prior to the calculation of the Fund’s NAV.
The value established for such a portfolio security valued other than by use of a market quotation (as described above) may be different than what would be produced through the use of market quotations or another methodology. Portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that the Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time and it is possible that the Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.
Other financial investments are derivative instruments that are not reflected in total investments, such as futures, forwards, swaps, and written options contracts, which are valued based on fair value as discussed above.
The Fund uses closing prices for derivatives included in Level 1, which are traded either on exchanges or liquid over-the-counter markets. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency and commodity forward and option contracts. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 3 primarily represent interest rate products that contain embedded optionality or prepayment features.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund had an average notional value of $16,474,988 and $44,822,050 on long and short futures contracts, respectively. Please refer to the table following the Schedule of Investments for open futures contracts at December 31, 2016.
Prior to July 1, 2016, the Company shared a revolving credit facility of up to $150 million with a number of its affiliates. The credit facility was with the Company’s custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). The revolving credit facility required the payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum on the daily unused portion of the credit facility, payable quarterly. The portion borne by each Fund generally was borne proportionally based upon net assets. Generally, borrowings under the credit facility would accrue interest at the higher of the 1-Month LIBOR plus 1.25% and the Overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% and would be borne by the borrowing Fund. The maximum amount allowed to be borrowed by any one Fund was the lesser of (i) 33.33% of its total assets or (ii) 20% of its net assets. The credit facility was not utilized by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The revolving credit facility with State Street was terminated effective June 30, 2016.
Currently, the Funds and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in a $360 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires October 12, 2017, 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. 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% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate. From July 1, 2016, the date the Funds were added to this credit facility, through October 12, 2016, interest was calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the New York Fed Bank Rate plus 1%.
The credit facilities were not utilized by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
6. | | Compensation and Fees Paid to Affiliates |
SSGA FM, a registered investment adviser, was retained by the Company’s Board of Directors effective July 1, 2016 to act as investment adviser and administrator of the Fund. SSGA FM’s compensation for investment advisory and administrative services (“Management Fee”) is paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of the Fund at an annualized rate of 0.35%.
State Street serves as sub-administrator and custodian to the Funds. Amounts paid by the Fund to State Street for performing such services are included in the advisory and administration and custody and accounting expenses, respectively.
Prior to July 1, 2016, GEAM served as the Fund’s investment adviser and administrator and the Fund paid GEAM a Management Fee at an annualized rate of 0.35%.
Investor Service Plan — Class 1 and Class 3 Shares The Company adopted an Investor Service Plan (the “Service Plan”) on December 9, 2005 for Class 1 shares and on May 1, 2009 for Class 3 shares of the Fund (each an “Investor Service

Plan”). The Investor Service Plans were not adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Investor Service Plan provides that, during any fiscal year, the amount of compensation paid under the Investor Service Plans by the Fund’s Class 1 or Class 3 shares may not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to the share class offered.
Distribution and Shareholder Service (12b-1) Fees The Company has adopted a Distribution and Service (12b-1) Plan (the “12b-1 Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to each of Class 1 and Class 3 shares of the Fund. Under the 12b-1 Plan for Class 1 shares that became effective May 1, 2009, payments made under the Class 1 Investor Service Plan are covered in the event that any portion of compensation paid pursuant to the Class 1 Investor Service Plan is determined to be an indirect use of the assets attributable to the Class 1 shares to finance distribution of such shares. Under the 12b-1 Plan for Class 3 shares, the Company, on behalf of the Fund, may have compensated GE Investment Distributors, Inc. (“GEID”), the distributor of the shares of the Fund prior to July 1, 2016, and State Street Global Markets, LLC (“SSGM”), the distributor of the shares of the Fund effective July 1, 2016, for certain sales services provided by GEID, SSGM or other broker dealers and investor services provided by GEID, SSGM or other service providers relating to the Fund’s Class 3 shares, including services to owners or prospective owners of variable contracts issued by insurance companies that offer Class 3 shares as an investment option under such variable contracts. The amount of compensation paid under the 12b-1 Plan for Class 3 shares may not exceed 0.25%, of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to such share class. The 12b-1 Plan continues in effect from year to year for so long as such continuance is approved annually by the Board of Directors, including by those directors who are not interested persons of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the 12b-1 Plan or in any agreement related to it. In addition, the Class 3 12b-1 Plan covers payments made under the Class 3 Investor Service Plan in the event that any portion of compensation paid pursuant to the Class 3 Investor Service Plan is determined to be an indirect use of the assets attributable to the Class 3 shares to finance distribution of such shares.
Directors’ Compensation The Fund pays no compensation to its Directors who are officers or employees of SSGA FM or its affiliates. Directors who are not such officers or employees also serve in a similar capacity for other funds advised by SSGA FM. Compensation paid to non-interested Directors is reflected on the Statement of Operations. These fees are allocated pro rata across all of the mutual fund platforms served by the Directors, including the Fund, and are based upon the relative net assets of each fund within such platforms. (For additional information about Directors’ compensation, please refer to the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.)
Other Transactions with Affiliates In December 2015, State Street announced a review of the manner in which it invoiced certain expenses to certain of its Investment Servicing clients, primarily in the United States, during an 18-year period going back to 1998 and its determination that it had incorrectly invoiced clients for certain expenses. State Street informed its clients that it will pay to them the expenses it concluded were incorrectly invoiced to them, plus interest.
The Fund was impacted by this matter. The amounts in the table below represent the refunded expenses and interest received by the Fund for the periods in question.

Prior to November 30, 2016, pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement with SSGA FM, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”) served as the sub-adviser to the Fund. Based on the asset allocation decisions by SSGA FM, BlackRock managed the Fund’s assets using an passive investment approach designed to track the performance of the desired broadbased indices representing asset classes. For its services, SSGA FM paid BlackRock monthly sub-advisory fees which were calculated as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Effective November 30, 2016, BlackRock no longer serves as investment sub-adviser to the Fund and SSGA FM directly manages the underlying passive strategies of the Fund.

Affiliated Investments The Fund may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Fund owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
The Fund is subject to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for financial accounting and reporting for the effects of income taxes that result from an entity’s activities during the year. ASC 740 also provides guidance regarding how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. There are no adjustments to the Fund’s net assets required under ASC 740. The Fund’s 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 fiscal year tax returns are still open to examination by the Federal and applicable state tax authorities.
At December 31, 2016, information on the tax cost of investments and distributable earnings on a tax basis was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cost of Investments For Tax Purposes | | Gross Tax | | Net Tax Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | Undistributed Income | | Undistributed Accum. Capital Gain/(Loss) | | Late-Year Losses |

As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had no capital loss carryovers. Capital loss carryovers are available to offset future realized capital gains to the extent provided in the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder. To the extent that these carryover losses are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains offset will not be distributed to shareholders because they would be taxable as ordinary income.
Any qualified late-year loss is deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next tax year (if the Fund elects to defer such loss). Under this regime, generally, the Fund can elect to defer any post-October capital loss and/or any late-year ordinary loss as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.
The Fund elected to defer qualified late-year losses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Capital | | Ordinary |
| $ | 997,930 | | | | $ | 124,630 | |
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Year | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
| | 2016 | | | | $ | 42,729,607 | | | | $ | 39,291,488 | | | | $ | 82,021,095 | |
| | 2015 | | | | | 48,555,357 | | | | | 71,541,941 | | | | | 120,097,298 | |
Distributions to Shareholders The Fund declares and pays any dividends from net investment income annually. The Fund declares and pays any net realized capital gains in excess of capital loss carryforwards distributions annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These differences include (but are not limited to) investments in futures, losses deferred due to wash sale transactions, real

estate investment trust basis adjustments, foreign capital gains tax, distribution re-designations, foreign currency gains and losses, passive foreign investment company gains and losses, litigation proceeds, return of capital distributions from securities, corporate actions, straddle loss deferrals, partnership basis adjustments, and distributions from real estate investment trusts. Reclassifications due to permanent book/tax differences are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations. These reclassifications have no impact on net investment income, realized gains or losses, or the NAV of the Fund. The calculation of net investment income per share in the Financial Highlights table excludes these adjustments.
The reclassifications for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:

KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) served as the independent registered certified public accounting firm of the Company through its resignation as of June 30, 2016. On September 9, 2016, upon recommendation by the Audit Committee of the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors selected Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) to replace KPMG as the independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
The reports of KPMG on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years or periods.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Funds requested and KPMG furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the above statements. A copy of such letter was filed as Exhibit 77 to Form N-SAR for the period ended December 31, 2016.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through September 9, 2016, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted EY on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulations S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of said Item 304).

State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. and Shareholders of State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund (formerly GE Investments Total Return Fund) (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. (formerly GE Investment Funds, Inc.)) (the “Fund”), including the summary schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for periods ended prior to January 1, 2016 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 19, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement of changes in net assets and those financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc.) at December 31, 2016, the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Performance — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
The information provided on the performance page relates to the State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund (the “Fund”).
Total return performance shown in this report for the Fund takes into account changes in share price and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. Total returns shown are net of Fund fees and expenses but do not reflect fees and charges associated with the variable contracts such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges, which, if reflected, would reduce the Fund’s total returns for all periods shown.
The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Periods less than one year are not annualized. Please call toll-free (800) 242-0134 or visit the Fund’s website at http://www.ssga.com/geam for the most recent month-end performance data.
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. An investment in the Fund is subject to risk, including possible loss of principal invested.
The S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged, market capitalization-weighted index of stocks of 500 large U.S. companies, which is widely used as a measure of large-cap U.S. stock market performance.

State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
Q. | How did the State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund perform compared to its benchmark and Morningstar peer group for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016? |
A. | For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016, the State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund returned 11.61%. The S&P 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), the Fund’s benchmark, returned 11.96% and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 295 U.S. Insurance Large Blend Funds returned an average of 11.08% over the same period. |
Q. | What market conditions affected the Fund’s performance? |
A. | The opening month of 2016 was anything but reassuring for global investors, as growth assets sold off aggressively during the first two weeks of the year on a mosaic of uncertainties persisting from 2015. Front and center in the turmoil to open the New Year was a series of conflicting messages from China’s policy makers in both equity and currency markets. Looking at the year to date return for the S&P 500 Index at the end of the first quarter of 2016, performance of 1.4% could mistakenly indicate an uneventful time period in financial markets. That modest absolute outcome of course belies an aggressive selloff in global equities to open the year that took the S&P 500 Index down 6% during the first week of 2016, the worst opening week on record, and to an eventual decline of more than 10% for the year through February 11th, 2016. |
| As the second quarter of 2016 opened, the “reflation trade” that commenced in mid-February of 2016 and closed out the end of the first quarter of 2016 continued apace in April with growth assets broadly posting positive returns, though with some signs of consolidation towards the end of the month. The second quarter posted a gain of 2.5%, marking a return of 3.8% for the first half of the year. |
| Global markets entered the third quarter riding the tailwind of an aggressive snap back rally following the surprising June 23rd, 2016 U.K. referendum vote to leave the European Union. After world markets declined in the two days following the referendum, they turned around and surpassed the drop through the end of July. The improved tone was enough to propel the S&P 500 Index to a new all-time high, taking out the previous high set 14 months earlier in May of 2015. In contrast to August of 2015, when global equity markets witnessed their most volatile month since 2011, fast forward one year later and markets demonstrated an air of complacency in August 2016. In fact, the S&P 500 Index did not experience a daily price move of greater than 1%, up or down, between July 8th and September 8th. Using 30 day realized volatility as a measure, it was chronicled by the Wall Street Journal on August 23rd that the 30 preceding trading days had been the least volatile for the S&P 500 Index in over two decades. It was perhaps no coincidence that the relative stability markets exhibited in August occurred during a month in which the central banking calendar was relatively light. Following this, September was a relatively flat month and the S&P 500 Index ended up 7.8% year-to-date through September 30, 2016. |
| As the final quarter of 2016 commenced, October provided investors few places to avoid negative returns as both safe haven investments and riskier growth assets came under pressure during the month. In a year notable for unexpected challenges to the established political order, November 8th, 2016 delivered another entry to that ledger in the largely unanticipated victory of Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton to close out the highly contentious U.S. presidential election campaign. The initial reaction in overnight financial markets as the surprising election results were reported was a sharp risk off trade suggesting considerable concern among unwitting investors. To-wit, from 10:00 p.m. EST when the first hints of the unexpected election outcome began to resonate, to midnight when the election outcome was all but certain, futures on the S&P 500 Index declined nearly 6%, the 10 year U.S. Treasury Yield plunged nearly 20 basis points and the common risk haven gold surged 5%. About the time Donald Trump made what was broadly judged to be a conciliatory acceptance speech, all these markets performed an abrupt about face, sending the S&P 500 Index to a gain of more than 1%, gold prices lower and bond yields higher when all was said and done on November 9th, 2016. Far from a one day relief rally, the trading days following the election saw a persistent rise in growth assets, a sharp rise in U.S. Treasury yields and a thirteen year high in the broad U.S. dollar index reached in late November — a trend that would continue through the end of the year. |
Q. | What were the primary drivers of the Fund’s performance? |
A. | The expenses of managing the Fund, managing cash inflows to and outflows from the Fund, futures and small security misweights contributed to the difference between the Fund’s performance and that of the S&P 500 Index. All sectors but Health Care had positive returns in 2016. Information Technology, Financials and Energy were the strongest contributing sectors in the S&P 500 Index. Health Care, real Estate and Materials were the weakest contributors to the performance. JP Morgan Chase, Exxon Mobil, and AT&T were the strongest contributors to the Fund’s performance. Allergan, Gilead Sciences and Alexion Pharmaceuticals were the main detractors from the Fund’s performance. |

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2016.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. Additionally, the expenses shown do not reflect the fees or charges associated with variable contracts through which shares of the Fund are offered.
| | | | | | | | |
| | Actual Fund Return | | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) | |
Account value at the beginning of the period July 1, 2016 | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.00 | |
Account value at the end of the period December 31, 2016 | | $ | 1,076.80 | | | $ | 1,023.58 | |
Expenses paid during the period* | | $ | 1.62 | | | $ | 1.58 | |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 0.31%** (for the period July 1, 2016 — December 31, 2016), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
** | May differ from expense ratio disclosed in the financial highlights, which is calculated based on the entire fiscal year’s data. |

1. | | Organization of the Company |
State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on May 14, 1984 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Prior to November 30, 2016, the Company was named GE Investments Funds, Inc.

2. | | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. There are no items to report.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Company:
Securities Valuation and Transactions All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost for both financial statement and federal tax purposes.
Derivatives The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may enter into various types of derivative transactions (such as futures) to gain exposure to certain types of securities as an alternative to investing directly in or selling securities comprising the S&P 500® Index.
Futures Contracts A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument, currency or index at a particular price and future date. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund invested in stock index futures contracts to gain equity exposure for accumulating and residual cash positions. Buying futures tends to increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument while selling futures tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge other Fund investments. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to

State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
the Fund since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. The Fund’s risks in using these contracts include changes in the value of the underlying instruments, non-performance of the counterparties under the contracts’ terms and changes in the liquidity of the secondary market for the contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they principally trade.
Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, known as initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the fair value of the underlying security. The Fund records an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may incur a loss. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss on the expiration or closing of a futures contract.
Investment Income Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable withholding taxes, except for certain foreign corporate actions which are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as such information becomes available. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on taxable bonds are to the call or maturity date, whichever is shorter, using the effective yield method.
Expenses Fund specific expenses are charged to the Fund that incurs such expenses. Such expenses may include custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees. Expenses that are not fund specific are allocated pro rata across the Funds. Expenses of the Fund are generally paid directly by the Fund, however, expenses may be paid by the investment adviser and reimbursed by the Fund.
Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution of substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. The Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and providing related disclosures. Broadly, the framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. It also establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs.
Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
| • | | Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets. |
| • | | Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. |
| • | | Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. |
Policies and procedures are maintained to value investments using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, pricing vendors are utilized to assist in valuing investments. The investment adviser performs periodic reviews of the methodologies used by independent pricing services including price validation of individual securities.

State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
Fair Value Measurement The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Fund uses to measure different financial investments at fair value.
The Fund’s portfolio securities are valued generally on the basis of market quotations. Equity securities generally are valued at the last reported sale price on the primary market in which they are traded. Portfolio securities listed on NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Level 1 securities primarily include publicly-traded equity securities, which may not necessarily represent the last sales price. If no sales occurred on the exchange or NASDAQ that day, the portfolio security generally is valued using the last reported bid price. In those circumstances, the Fund typically classifies the investment securities in Level 2.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are typically valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value and these are included in Level 2. If it is determined that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, securities may be valued based on dealer supplied valuations or quotations. In these infrequent circumstances, pricing services may provide the Fund with valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, and in those circumstances the investment securities are classified in Level 3.
Investments in registered investment companies are valued at the published daily net asset value (“NAV”) and classified in Level 1.
If prices are not readily available for a portfolio security, or if it is believed that a price for a portfolio security does not represent its fair value, the security may be valued using procedures approved by the Company’s Board of Directors that are designed to establish its “fair” value. These securities are typically classified in Level 3. Those procedures require that the fair value of a security be established by a valuation committee of the investment adviser. The valuation committee follows different protocols for different types of investments and circumstances. The fair value procedures may be used to value any investment of the Fund in the appropriate circumstances.
Fair value determinations generally are used for securities whose value is affected by a significant event that will materially affect the value of a security and which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such security trades but prior to the calculation of the Fund’s NAV.
The value established for such a portfolio security valued other than by use of a market quotation (as described above) may be different than what would be produced through the use of market quotations or another methodology. Portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that the Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time and it is possible that the Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.
Other financial investments are derivative instruments that are not reflected in total investments, such as futures, forwards, swaps, and written options contracts, which are valued based on fair value as discussed above.
The Fund uses closing prices for derivatives included in Level 1, which are traded either on exchanges or liquid over-the-counter markets. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency and commodity forward and option contracts. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 3 primarily represent interest rate products that contain embedded optionality or prepayment features.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following table presents the Fund’s investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2016:

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund had an average notional value of $3,849,591 on long futures contracts. Please refer to the table following the Schedule of Investments for open futures contracts at December 31, 2016.
Currently, the Funds and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in a $360 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires October 12, 2017, 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. 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% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate. From July 1, 2016, the date the Funds were added to this credit facility, through October 12, 2016, interest was calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the New York Fed Bank Rate plus 1%.
The credit facilities were not utilized by the Fund during the period from July 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.
6. | | Compensation and Fees Paid to Affiliates |
SSGA FM, a registered investment adviser, was retained by the Company’s Board of Directors effective July 1, 2016 to act as investment adviser and administrator of the Fund. SSGA FM’s compensation for investment advisory and administrative services (“Management Fee”) is paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of the Fund at an annualized rate of 0.25%.
State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as the sub-administrator and custodian to the Funds. Amounts paid by the Fund to State Street for performing such services are included in advisory and administration and custody and accounting expenses, respectively.
Prior to July 1, 2016, GEAM served as the Fund’s investment adviser and administrator, and the Fund paid GEAM a Management Fee at an annualized rate of 0.35%.
| | | | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | | 23 | |
State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
GEAM had entered into a contractual arrangement with the Company to limit the Management Fee charged to the Fund to 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Management Fee Limitation Agreement”). The Management Fee Limitation Agreement was terminated effective June 30, 2016, upon the termination of the investment advisory and administrator agreement with GEAM.
Directors’ Compensation The Fund pays no compensation to its Directors who are officers or employees of SSGA FM or its affiliates. Directors who are not such officers or employees also serve in a similar capacity for other funds advised by SSGA FM. Compensation paid to non-interested Directors is reflected on the Statement of Operations. These fees are allocated pro rata across all of the mutual fund platforms served by the Directors, including the Fund, and are based upon the relative net assets of each fund within such platforms. (For additional information about Directors’ compensation, please refer to the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.)
Other Transactions with Affiliates In December 2015, State Street announced a review of the manner in which it invoiced certain expenses to certain of its Investment Servicing clients, primarily in the United States, during an 18-year period going back to 1998 and its determination that it had incorrectly invoiced clients for certain expenses. State Street informed its clients that it will pay to them the expenses it concluded were incorrectly invoiced to them, plus interest.
The Fund was impacted by this matter. The amounts in the table below represent the refunded expenses and interest received by the Fund for the periods in question.

Affiliated Investments The Fund may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Fund owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
The Fund is subject to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for financial accounting and reporting for the effects of income taxes that result from an entity’s activities during the year. ASC 740 also provides guidance regarding how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. There are no adjustments to the Fund’s net assets required under ASC 740. The Fund’s 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 fiscal year tax returns are still open to examination by the Federal and applicable state tax authorities.

At December 31, 2016, information on the tax cost of investments and distributable earnings on a tax basis was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cost of Investments For Tax Purposes | | Gross Tax | | Net Tax Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | Undistributed Income | | Undistributed Accum. Capital Gain/ (Loss) | | Late-Year Losses |

As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had no capital loss carryovers, as indicated below. Capital loss carryovers are available to offset future realized capital gains to the extent provided in the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder. To the extent that these carryover losses are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains offset will not be distributed to shareholders.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund utilized $1,038,870 of prior year capital loss carryovers.
Any qualified late-year loss is deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next tax year (if the Fund elects to defer such loss). Under this regime, generally, the Fund can elect to defer any post-October capital loss and/or any late-year ordinary loss as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.
The Fund incurned no such losses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Year | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | | $ | 3,293,797 | | | | $ | 6,347,185 | | | | $ | 9,640,982 | |
| | 2015 | | | | | 4,111,312 | | | | | – | | | | | 4,111,312 | |
Distributions to Shareholders The Fund declares and pays any dividends from net investment income annually. The Fund declares and pays any net realized capital gains in excess of capital loss carryforwards distributions annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These differences include (but are not limited to) investments in futures, distributions from real estate investment trusts and other equity investments, investments in passive foreign investment companies and losses due to wash sale transactions. Reclassifications due to permanent book/tax differences are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations. These reclassifications have no impact on net investment income, realized gains or losses, or the NAV of the Fund. The calculation of net investment income per share in the Financial Highlights table excludes these adjustments.
The reclassifications for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | | Capital Paid In |

KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) served as the independent registered certified public accounting firm of the Company through its resignation as of June 30, 2016. On September 9, 2016, upon recommendation by the Audit Committee of the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors selected Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) to replace KPMG as the independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
The reports of KPMG on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement

disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years or periods.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Funds requested and KPMG furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the above statements. A copy of such letter was filed as Exhibit 77 to Form N-SAR for the period ended December 31, 2016.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through September 9, 2016, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted EY on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulations S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of said Item 304).

State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. and Shareholders of State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund (formerly GE Investments S&P 500 Index Fund) (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. (formerly GE Investment Funds, Inc.)) (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for periods ended prior to January 1, 2016 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 19, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement of changes in net assets and those financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc.) at December 31, 2016, the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
Q. | How did the State Street Small-Cap Equity V.I.S. Fund perform compared to its benchmark and Morningstar peer group for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016? |
A. | For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016, the State Street Small-Cap Equity V.I.S. Fund returned 23.77%. The Russell 2000® Index, the Fund’s benchmark, returned 21.31% and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 139 Small Blend Funds returned an average of 21.85% over the same period. |
Q. | What market conditions affected the Fund’s performance? |
A. | A strong risk appetite coupled with increased expectations for U.S. domestic growth and even potentially some protectionism led to the strong rally across equities especially in Small-Cap equities, which drove the Fund’s performance higher. Within small-cap, value led growth as stocks that appeared cheaper were in demand when compared to their higher valued peers. The Fund was well positioned to take advantage of that rally by being underweight in biotech (which had low/no earnings and high valuations) and underweight real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) (which fell on increasing rates). |
Q. | What were the primary drivers of the Fund’s performance? |
A. | Full year performance for 2016 was strong as the Fund handily beat the benchmark. Across the underlying managers within the Fund, Kennedy Capital Management, Inc. led the pack returning 31.46%, followed closely by Champlain Investment Partners, LLC returning 29.76%. Even GlobeFlex Capital, L.P., who faced a style headwind throughout the year returned 14.34%. |
| The only derivatives used in the Fund are Russell 2000 Index e-Mini futures. These futures are used to equitize the cash sleeve that is designed to handle day to day cash flows coming in and out of the Fund. The cash sleeve is targeted to be a 2% weighting in the portfolio. We don’t believe the impact of these derivatives is material on the overall fund performance as the cash return will roughly match the index return over time. This does prevent unintentional drag from cash in years where the market is up significantly such as 2016, where the cash sleeve contributed ~40 basis points (“bps”) to the overall return of the Fund. The reverse holds up in down years, where if the small cap index was down significantly, the return on the equitized cash would also be negative (matching the index return). This type of exposure management through the use of the index futures ensures that the investor will not be substantially disadvantaged by large flows into or out of the Fund. However, these futures are not used with the intent to add excess return to the performance of the Fund or for any other speculative purposes. |
Q. | Were there any significant changes to the Fund during the period? |
A. | There were no significant changes to the Fund during the period, however the Fund ended the year with a 3.5% underweight to financials, which is down from the historical average of 8% underweight. This decrease is not related to the way the Fund is managed but rather due to Russell (the index provider) moving REITs into their own sector. As a result, the Fund is 5% underweight in REITS in addition to the 3.5% underweight in financials, which in the aggregate was close to the historical average of the Fund’s underweight to financials. |

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2016.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. Additionally, the expenses shown do not reflect the fees or charges associated with variable contracts through which shares of the Fund are offered.

** | May differ from expense ratio disclosed in the financial highlights, which is calculated based on the entire fiscal year’s data. |

2. | | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. There are no items to report.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Company:
Securities Valuation and Transactions All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost for both financial statement and federal tax purposes.
Derivatives The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may enter into various types of derivative transactions (such as futures) to gain or hedge exposure to certain types of securities as an alternative to investing directly in or selling such securities.
Futures Contracts A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument, currency or index at a particular price and future date. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund invested in stock index futures contracts to gain equity exposure for accumulating and residual cash positions. Buying futures tends to

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument while selling futures tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge other Fund investments. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. The Fund’s risks in using these contracts include changes in the value of the underlying instruments, non-performance of the counterparties under the contracts’ terms and changes in the liquidity of the secondary market for the contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they principally trade.
Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, known as initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the fair value of the underlying security. The Fund records an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may incur a loss. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss on the expiration or closing of a futures contract.
Investment Income Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable withholding taxes, except for certain foreign corporate actions which are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as such information becomes available. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on taxable bonds are to the call or maturity date, whichever is shorter, using the effective yield method.
Expenses Fund specific expenses are charged to the Fund that incurs such expenses. Such expenses may include custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees. Expenses that are not fund specific are allocated pro rata across the Funds. Expenses of the Fund are generally paid directly by the Fund, however, expenses may be paid by the investment adviser and reimbursed by the Fund.
Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution of substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. The Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and providing related disclosures. Broadly, the framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. It also establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs.
Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
| • | | Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets. |
| • | | Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. |
| • | | Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. |
| | | | |

State Street Small-Cap Equity V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
Policies and procedures are maintained to value investments using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, pricing vendors are utilized to assist in valuing investments. The investment adviser performs periodic reviews of the methodologies used by independent pricing services including price validation of individual securities.
Fair Value Measurement The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Fund uses to measure different financial investments at fair value.
The Fund’s portfolio securities are valued generally on the basis of market quotations. Equity securities generally are valued at the last reported sale price on the primary market in which they are traded. Portfolio securities listed on NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Level 1 securities primarily include publicly-traded equity securities, which may not necessarily represent the last sales price. If no sales occurred on the exchange or NASDAQ that day, the portfolio security generally is valued using the last reported bid price. In those circumstances, the Fund typically classifies the investment securities in Level 2.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are typically valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value and these are included in Level 2. If it is determined that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, securities may be valued based on dealer supplied valuations or quotations. In these infrequent circumstances, pricing services may provide the Fund with valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, and in those circumstances the investment securities are classified in Level 3.
Investments in registered investment companies are valued at the published daily net asset value (“NAV”) and classified in Level 1.
If prices are not readily available for a portfolio security, or if it is believed that a price for a portfolio security does not represent its fair value, the security may be valued using procedures approved by the Company’s Board of Directors that are designed to establish its “fair” value. These securities are typically classified in Level 3. Those procedures require that the fair value of a security be established by a valuation committee of the investment adviser. The valuation committee follows different protocols for different types of investments and circumstances. The fair value procedures may be used to value any investment of the Fund in the appropriate circumstances.
Fair value determinations generally are used for securities whose value is affected by a significant event that will materially affect the value of a security and which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such security trades but prior to the calculation of the Fund’s NAV.
The value established for such a portfolio security valued other than by use of a market quotation (as described above) may be different than what would be produced through the use of market quotations or another methodology. Portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that the Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time and it is possible that the Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.
Other financial investments are derivative instruments that are not reflected in total investments, such as futures, forwards, swaps, and written options contracts, which are valued based on fair value as discussed above.
The Fund uses closing prices for derivatives included in Level 1, which are traded either on exchanges or liquid over-the-counter markets. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency and commodity forward and option contracts. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 3 primarily represent interest rate products that contain embedded optionality or prepayment features.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund had an average notional value of $751,465 on long futures contracts. Please refer to the table following the Schedule of Investments for open futures contracts at December 31, 2016.
Prior to July 1, 2016, the Company shared a revolving credit facility of up to $150 million with a number of its affiliates. The credit facility was with the Company’s custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). The revolving credit facility required the payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum on the daily unused portion of the credit facility, payable quarterly. The portion borne by each Fund generally was borne proportionally based upon net assets. Generally, borrowings under the credit facility would accrue interest at the higher of the 1-Month LIBOR plus 1.25% and the Overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% and would be borne by the borrowing Fund. The maximum amount allowed to be borrowed by any one Fund was the lesser of (i) 33.33% of its total assets or (ii) 20% of its net assets. The credit facility was not
| | | | |

State Street Small-Cap Equity V.I.S. Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
utilized by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The revolving credit facility with State Street was terminated effective June 30, 2016.
Currently, the Funds and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in a $360 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires October 12, 2017, 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. 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% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate. From July 1, 2016, the date the Funds were added to this credit facility, through October 12, 2016, interest was calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the New York Fed Bank Rate plus 1%.
The credit facilities were not utilized by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2016.
6. | | Compensation and Fees Paid to Affiliates |
SSGM FM, a registered investment adviser, was retained by the Company’s Board of Directors effective July 1, 2016 to act as investment adviser and administrator of the Fund. SSGM FM’s compensation for investment advisory and administrative services (“Management Fee”) is paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of the Fund at an annualized rate of 0.95%.
State Street serves as sub-administrator and custodian to the Funds. Amounts paid by the Fund to State Street for performing such services are included in the advisory and administration and custody and accounting expenses, respectively.
Prior to July 1, 2016, GEAM served as the Fund’s investment adviser and administrator and the Fund paid GEAM a Management Fee at an annualized rate of 0.95%
Directors’ Compensation The Fund pays no compensation to its Directors who are officers or employees of SSGA FM or its affiliates. Directors who are not such officers or employees also serve in a similar capacity for other funds advised by SSGA FM. Compensation paid to non-interested Directors is reflected on the Statement of Operations. These fees are allocated pro rata across all of the mutual fund platforms served by the Directors, including the Fund, and are based upon the relative net assets of each fund within such platforms. (For additional information about Directors’ compensation, please refer to the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.)
Other Transactions with Affiliates In December 2015, State Street announced a review of the manner in which it invoiced certain expenses to certain of its Investment Servicing clients, primarily in the United States, during an 18-year period going back to 1998 and its determination that it had incorrectly invoiced clients for certain expenses. State Street informed its clients that it will pay to them the expenses it concluded were incorrectly invoiced to them, plus interest.
The Fund was impacted by this matter. The amounts in the table below represent the refunded expenses and interest received by the Fund for the periods in question.

Assets, under the general supervision and oversight of SSGA FM and the Board. For their services, SSGA FM pays each sub-adviser an investment sub-advisory fee, which is calculated as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the respective Allocated Assets that it manages.
8. | | Investment Transactions |
Purchases and Sales of Securities The cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Non-U.S. Government Securities |
Purchases | | Sales |
| | | | | | | | |
| $ | 12,651,906 | | | | $ | 16,858,248 | |
Affiliated Investments The Fund may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Fund owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
The Fund is subject to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for financial accounting and reporting for the effects of income taxes that result from an entity’s activities during the year. ASC 740 also provides guidance regarding how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. There are no adjustments to the Fund’s net assets required under ASC 740. The Fund’s 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 fiscal year tax returns are still open to examination by the Federal and applicable state tax authorities.
At December 31, 2016, information on the tax cost of investments and distributable earnings on a tax basis was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cost of Investments For Tax Purposes | | Gross Tax | | Net Tax Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | Undistributed Income | | Undistributed Accum. Capital Gain/(Loss) | | Late-Year Losses |
| Appreciation | | Depreciation | | Investments | | Derivatives/ Currency | | | |

As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had no capital loss carryovers. Capital loss carryovers are available to offset future realized capital gains to the extent provided in the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder. To the extent that these carryover losses are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains offset will not be distributed to shareholders because they would be taxable as ordinary income.
Any qualified late-year loss is deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next tax year (if the Fund elects to defer such loss). Under this regime, generally, the Fund can elect to defer any post-October capital loss and/or any late-year ordinary loss as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.
The Fund incurred no such losses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Year | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |

Distributions to Shareholders The Fund declares and pays any dividends from net investment income annually. The Fund declares and pays any net realized capital gains in excess of capital loss carryforwards distributions annually. The character of
| | | | |

income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These differences include (but are not limited to) investments in futures, return of capital distributions from securities, net operating losses, and losses deferred due to wash sale transactions. Reclassifications due to permanent book/tax differences are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations. These reclassifications have no impact on net investment income, realized gains or losses, or the NAV of the Fund. The calculation of net investment income per share in the Financial Highlights table excludes these adjustments.
The reclassifications for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | | Capital Paid In |
| $ | 82,782 | | | | $ | 3,261 | | | | | $ (86,043) | |
KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) served as the independent registered certified public accounting firm of the Company through its resignation as of June 30, 2016. On September 9, 2016, upon recommendation by the Audit Committee of the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors selected Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) to replace KPMG as the independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
The reports of KPMG on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years or periods.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Funds requested and KPMG furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the above statements. A copy of such letter was filed as Exhibit 77 to Form N-SAR for the period ended December 31, 2016.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through September 9, 2016, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted EY on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulations S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of said Item 304).

State Street Small-Cap Equity V.I.S. Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. and Shareholders of State Street Small-Cap Equity V.I.S. Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the State Street Small-Cap Equity V.I.S. Fund (formerly GE Investments Small-Cap Equity Fund) (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. (formerly GE Investment Funds, Inc.)) (the “Fund”), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for periods ended prior to January 1, 2016 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 19, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement of changes in net assets and those financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

Notes to Performance — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
The information provided on the performance page relates to the State Street Real Estate Securities V.I.S Fund (the “Fund”).
Total return performance shown in this report for the Fund takes into account changes in share price and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. Total returns shown are net of Fund fees and expenses but do not reflect fees and charges associated with the variable contracts such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges, which, if reflected, would reduce the Fund’s total returns for all periods shown.
The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Periods less than one year are not annualized. Please call toll-free (800) 242-0134 or visit the Fund’s website at http://www.ssga.com/geam for the most recent month-end performance data.
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. An investment in the Fund is subject to risk, including possible loss of principal invested.
FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index is an unmanaged index of all tax-qualified equity real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) (except Timber REITs or Infrastructure REITs) listed on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and NASDAQ which have 75% or more of their gross invested book assets invested directly or indirectly in the equity ownership of real estate. The results shown for the foregoing index assume the reinvestment of net dividends or interest and do not reflect fees, expenses, or taxes. As such, the index returns do not reflect the actual cost of investing in the instruments that comprise the index.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
Q. | How did the State Street Real Estate Securities V.I.S. Fund perform compared to its benchmark and Morningstar peer group for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016? |
A. | For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016, the State Street Real Estate Securities V.I.S. Fund returned 8.00%. The FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index, the Fund’s benchmark, returned 8.52% and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 47 U.S. Insurance Real Estate funds returned an average of 6.61% over the same period. |
Q. | What market factors affected the Fund’s performance? |
A. | The U.S. real estate securities market generated a positive return with the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index posting a total return of 8.52% during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016. The U.S. REIT market underperformed the broader equity markets as the S&P 500® Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted total returns of 11.96% and 16.50%, respectively, for the year. The key event that impacted the asset class and the Fund was the U.S. Presidential election, and the related move in interest rates. The 10-year treasury yield rose over 100 basis points (“bps”) from its lowest to its highest point during the 4th quarter of 2016 and REIT total returns were negative in response. REITs did most poorly in October of 2016 due to the uncertainty about rates and growth. Then in November, the results of the election also increased variability, both on the upside and on the downside, concerning growth, international implications, regulation, etc. The election also directly impacted specific REIT sectors — for example, private prison REITs rallied following the election as they were deeply discounted due to expectations for a Clinton administration to end these companies all together. The health care sector was also directly impacted as the potential repeal of the Affordable Care Act changed the outlook for the various business models within that sector. In general, sharply increasing interest rates and improved expectations for growth resulted in underperformance in long-duration assets and outperformance in short duration assets. |
Q. | What were the primary drivers of Fund performance? |
A. | On a net-of-fees basis, the Fund underperformed its benchmark by 52 bps in 2016. Stock selection contributed 47 bps to alpha, while sector selection detracted 33 bps from alpha. The combined effect of fees, cash, capital flows, intraday trading profits and other items not directly captured by our attribution measurement system combined to reduce relative performance by roughly 66 bps. The positive contribution from stock selection was broad-based with office infill, apartment, shopping center picks generating strong alpha, offset by health care and regional mall picks. Sector selection underperformance was driven by an overweight to office infill and underweights to specialty and self storage, which more than offset the positive alpha from an underweight to freestanding and an overweight to industrial. |
| Derivatives are not utilized in the Fund. |
Q. | Were there any significant changes to the Fund during the period? |
A. | We did not deviate from the investment process, philosophy or approach we have consistently applied since 1995. From a personnel standpoint, during 2016, we added an analyst to the investment team. These changes do not affect the management of the Fund. |

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2016.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. Additionally, the expenses shown do not reflect the fees or charges associated with variable contracts through which shares of the Fund are offered.

2. | | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. There are no items to report.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Company:
Securities Valuation and Transactions All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost for both financial statement and federal tax purposes.
Derivatives The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may enter into various types of derivative transactions to gain market exposure for residual and accumulating cash positions.
Real Estate Investment Trusts Dividend income, attributable to real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), is recorded based on management’s estimate of the income included in the distributions received. Distributions received in excess of this amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the investments. The actual amounts of income and return of capital are determined by each REIT only after its fiscal year-end and may differ from the estimated amounts.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
Investment Income Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable withholding taxes, except for certain foreign corporate actions which are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as such information becomes available. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on taxable bonds are to the call or maturity date, whichever is shorter, using the effective yield method.
Expenses Fund specific expenses are charged to the Fund that incurs such expenses. Such expenses may include custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees.
Expenses that are not fund specific are allocated pro rata across the Funds. Expenses of the Fund are generally paid directly by the Fund, however, expenses may be paid by the investment adviser and reimbursed by the Fund.
Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution of substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. The Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and providing related disclosures. Broadly, the framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. It also establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs.
Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
| • | | Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets. |
| • | | Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. |
| • | | Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. |
Policies and procedures are maintained to value investments using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, pricing vendors are utilized to assist in valuing investments. The investment adviser performs periodic reviews of the methodologies used by independent pricing services including price validation of individual securities.
Fair Value Measurement The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Fund uses to measure different financial investments at fair value.
The Fund’s portfolio securities are valued generally on the basis of market quotations. Equity securities generally are valued at the last reported sale price on the primary market in which they are traded. Portfolio securities listed on NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Level 1 securities primarily include publicly-traded equity securities, which may not necessarily represent the last sales price. If no sales occurred on the exchange or NASDAQ that day, the portfolio security generally is valued using the last reported bid price. In those circumstances, the Fund typically classifies the investment securities in Level 2.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are typically valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value and these are included in Level 2. If it is determined that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, securities may be valued based on dealer supplied valuations

or quotations. In these infrequent circumstances, pricing services may provide the Fund with valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, and in those circumstances the investment securities are classified in Level 3.
Investments in registered investment companies are valued at the published daily net asset value (“NAV”) and classified in Level 1.
If prices are not readily available for a portfolio security, or if it is believed that a price for a portfolio security does not represent its fair value, the security may be valued using procedures approved by the Company’s Board of Directors that are designed to establish its “fair” value. These securities are typically classified in Level 3. Those procedures require that the fair value of a security be established by a valuation committee of the investment adviser. The valuation committee follows different protocols for different types of investments and circumstances. The fair value procedures may be used to value any investment of the Fund in the appropriate circumstances.
Fair value determinations generally are used for securities whose value is affected by a significant event that will materially affect the value of a security and which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such security trades but prior to the calculation of the Fund’s NAV.
The value established for such a portfolio security valued other than by use of a market quotation (as described above) may be different than what would be produced through the use of market quotations or another methodology. Portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that the Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time and it is possible that the Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.
Other financial investments are derivative instruments that are not reflected in total investments, such as futures, forwards, swaps, and written options contracts, which are valued based on fair value as discussed above.
The Fund uses closing prices for derivatives included in Level 1, which are traded either on exchanges or liquid over-the-counter markets. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency and commodity forward and option contracts. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 3 primarily represent interest rate products that contain embedded optionality or prepayment features.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following table presents the Fund’s investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2016:

There were no transfers between fair value levels during the period. Transfers between fair value levels are recognized at the beginning of the period.
Prior to July 1, 2016, the Company shared a revolving credit facility of up to $150 million with a number of its affiliates. The credit facility was with the Company’s custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). The revolving credit facility required the payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum on the daily unused portion of the credit facility, payable quarterly. The portion borne by each Fund generally was borne proportionally based upon net assets. Generally, borrowings under the credit facility would accrue interest at the higher of the 1-Month LIBOR plus 1.25% and the Overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% and would be borne by the borrowing Fund. The maximum amount allowed to be borrowed by any one Fund was the lesser of (i) 33.33% of its total assets or (ii) 20% of its net assets. The credit facility was not utilized by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The revolving credit facility with State Street was terminated effective June 30, 2016.

Currently, the Funds and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in a $360 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires October 12, 2017, 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. 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% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate. From July 1, 2016, the date the Funds were added to this credit facility, through October 12, 2016, interest was calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the New York Fed Bank Rate plus 1%.
The credit facilities were utilized by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Average Loan Balance | | Average Interest Rate | | Number of Days | | Interest Paid |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| $ | 1,697,500 | | | | | 1.519% | | | | | 8 | | | | $ | 569 | |
The Fund did not have any outstanding loans as of December 31, 2016.

State Street serves as the sub-administrator and custodian to the Funds. Amounts paid by the Fund to State Street for performing such services are included in advisory and administration and custody and accounting expenses, respectively.
Directors’ Compensation The Fund pays no compensation to its Directors who are officers or employees of SSGA FM or its affiliates. Directors who are not such officers or employees also serve in a similar capacity for other funds advised by SSGA FM. Compensation paid to non-interested Directors is reflected on the Statement of Operations.

(For additional information about Directors’ compensation, please refer to the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.)
Other Transactions with Affiliates In December 2015, State Street announced a review of the manner in which it invoiced certain expenses to certain of its Investment Servicing clients, primarily in the United States, during an 18-year period going back to 1998 and its determination that it had incorrectly invoiced clients for certain expenses. State Street informed its clients that it will pay to them the expenses it concluded were incorrectly invoiced to them, plus interest.

Affiliated Investments The Fund may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Fund owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
The Fund is subject to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for financial accounting and reporting for the effects of income taxes that result from an entity’s activities during the year. ASC 740 also provides guidance regarding how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. There are no adjustments to the Fund’s net assets required under ASC 740. The Fund’s 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 fiscal year tax returns are still open to examination by the Federal and applicable state tax authorities.
At December 31, 2016, information on the tax cost of investments and distributable earnings on a tax basis was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cost of Investments For Tax Purposes | | Gross Tax | | Net Tax Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | Undistributed Income | | Undistributed Accum. Capital Gain/(Loss) | | Late-Year Losses |

As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had no capital loss carryovers. Capital loss carryovers are available to offset future realized capital gains to the extent provided in the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder. To the extent that these carryover losses are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains offset will not be distributed to shareholders because they would be taxable as ordinary income.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
Any qualified late-year loss is deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next tax year (if the Fund elects to defer such loss). Under this regime, generally, the Fund can elect to defer any post-October capital loss and/or any late-year ordinary loss as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.
The Fund incurred no such losses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Year | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |

Distributions to Shareholders The Fund declares and pays any dividends from net investment income annually. The Fund declares and pays any net realized capital gains in excess of capital loss carryforwards distributions annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These differences include (but are not limited to) distributions from REITs, dividend re-designations and losses deferred due to wash sale transactions. Reclassifications due to permanent book/tax differences are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations. These reclassifications have no impact on net investment income, realized gains or losses, or the NAV of the Fund. The calculation of net investment income per share in the Financial Highlights table excludes these adjustments.
The reclassifications for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | | Capital Paid In |

KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) served as the independent registered certified public accounting firm of the Company through its resignation as of June 30, 2016. On September 9, 2016, upon recommendation by the Audit Committee of the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors selected Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) to replace KPMG as the independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
The reports of KPMG on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years or periods.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Funds requested and KPMG furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the above statements. A copy of such letter was filed as Exhibit 77 to Form N-SAR for the period ended December 31, 2016.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through September 9, 2016, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted EY on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulations S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of said Item 304).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. and Shareholders of State Street Real Estate Securities V.I.S. Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the State Street Real Estate Securities V.I.S. Fund (formerly GE Investments Real Estate Securities Fund) (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. (formerly GE Investment Funds, Inc.)) (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for periods ended prior to January 1, 2016 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 19, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement of changes in net assets and those financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the State Street Real Estate Securities V.I.S. Fund (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc.) at December 31, 2016, the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Performance — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
The information provided on the performance pages relates to the State Street Premier Growth Equity V.I.S. Fund (the “Fund”).
Total return performance shown in this report for the Fund takes into account changes in share price and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. Total returns shown are net of Fund fees and expenses but do not reflect fees and charges associated with the variable contracts such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges, which, if reflected, would reduce the Fund’s total returns for all periods shown.
The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Periods less than one year are not annualized. Please call toll-free (800) 242-0134 or visit the Fund’s website at http://www.ssga.com/geam for the most recent month-end performance data.
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. An investment in the Fund is subject to risk, including possible loss of principal invested.
The S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged, market capitalization-weighted index of stocks of 500 large U.S. companies, which is widely used as a measure of large-cap U.S. stock market performance.
The Russell 1000® Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those companies in the Russell 1000® Index (which measures the entire U.S. equity large-cap segment) with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. It is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index and includes approximately 1,000 of the largest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership.
The results shown for the foregoing indices assume the reinvestment of net dividends or interest and do not reflect fees, expenses, or taxes. As such, the index returns do not reflect the actual cost of investing in the instruments that comprise each index.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
Q. | How did the State Street Premier Growth Equity V.I.S. Fund perform compared to its benchmark and Morningstar peer group for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016? |
A. | For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016, the State Street Premier Growth Equity V.I.S. Fund returned 2.47%. The Fund’s broad based benchmarks, the S&P 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) and the Russell 1000 Growth Index returned 11.96% and 7.08%, respectively. The Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 314 U.S. Insurance Large Growth Funds returned an average of 2.92% over the same period. |
Q. | What market factors affected the Fund’s performance? |
A. | 2016 was a year of rotating market regimes and mixed sector performance which posed challenges for the long-term fundamental investor. Issues buffeting U.S. equities ranged from China currency and growth concerns, to a growing wave of populism leading to the twin surprises of the United Kingdom’s June 2016 referendum vote to withdraw from the European Union and Donald Trump’s presidential victory. |
| Early in the year, defensive stocks outperformed amid fears that a slowing China would crush global economies. However by year-end, telecommunications (+23%) was the only defensive “bond-proxy” to hold strong leadership, while real estate (+3%) and staples (+5%) lagged. Energy (+27%) and financials (+23%) won as interest rates rose and oil prices strengthened — bolstered by OPEC’s late-year production-cut pledge. Industrials (+19%) and materials (+17%) also rallied amid hopes for fiscal stimulus and infrastructure spending in the President-elect Trump era. Health care (-3%) was the index’s sole negative-returning sector, plagued by negative sentiment around drug pricing, and mixed M&A performance. In our opinion, the health care sector continues to offer the best combination of earnings growth (+8% for the next 12 months) and valuation at the low-end of its historical range. On a fundamental basis we continue to find attractive investment opportunities in the health care, and have added to core positions at low valuations this year. |
| The market de-rated growth stocks this year, which is not surprising given relative outperformance in the energy, financials, materials and industrials sectors. The value style of investing beat growth across all market capitalization buckets — by significant margins; and small caps outperformed large capitalization stocks. In terms of size, the outlook for pro-domestic President-elect Trump policies benefitted small-cap and lower-quality stock performance. |
Q. | What were the primary drivers of Fund performance? |
A. | Health care positioning drove most of the Fund’s underperformance. Given the sector’s strong earnings-growth outlook, especially among innovative biotechnology and medical device companies, we were surprised at the degree of valuation erosion in 2016. We remain skeptical about how much Washington can inhibit drug price increases—the majority of prescriptions in the U.S. are written for generic drugs which are not bad actors. We also are careful to invest with quality management teams, and include companies where the government is not a major payer (e.g., a leader in branded cosmetic pharmaceuticals). In a concentrated portfolio, individual holdings can impact performance significantly, and one of our health care companies did suffer a broken M&A deal, which disappointed investors. The Fund’s technology selections also detracted from results as investors embraced “last year’s losers,” the slower growth legacy technology companies. A Chinese Internet company weighted heavily on returns, and was eliminated. |
| At the end of 2016, health care and technology were the cheapest sectors versus history relative to the market. These sectors have exhibited sustainable growth throughout the tumult of the past decade, and low relative valuations support possible P/E multiple expansion. At this point, we view the superior earnings growth and reasonable valuations of information technology (“IT”) and health care as a winning combination. The Fund does not invest in derivatives securities as part of its strategy, but may hold futures contracts or exchange traded funds to equitize cash flows in advance of investment. The effect of derivatives on performance was deminimus for the year. |
Q. | Were there any significant changes to the Fund during the period? |
A. | There were no changes during the period in the portfolio management team or its approach to investing. Turnover remained relatively low in keeping with our long-term investment horizon, but did result in some changes in positioning. Among sectors, IT was the largest absolute weighting as the sector where we find many of the innovative, growth companies at reasonable valuations that we favor. Health care and consumer discretionary are also key market weightings within the Fund. |
| We modestly reduced exposure to the financials and industrials sectors. We eliminated our sole materials holding, increasing the Fund’s underweight in this commodity oriented sector. Consumer staples has been a consistent sector underweight, but that underweight was reduced somewhat over the last year due to outperformance in our sole holding, a beverage company. |

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — December 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2016.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. Additionally, the expenses shown do not reflect the fees or charges associated with variable contracts through which shares of the Fund are offered.
| | | | | | | | |
| | Actual Fund Return | | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) | |
Account value at the beginning of the period July 1, 2016 | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.00 | |
Account value at the end of the period December 31, 2016 | | $ | 1,057.70 | | | $ | 1,020.86 | |
Expenses paid during the period* | | $ | 4.40 | | | $ | 4.32 | |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 0.85%** (for the period July 1, 2016-December 31, 2016), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
** | May differ from expense ratio disclosed in the financial highlights, which is calculated based on the entire fiscal year’s data. |

State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on May 14, 1984 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Prior to November 30, 2016, the Company was named GE Investments Funds, Inc. The Company is currently composed of the following eight investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”): State Street U.S. Equity V.I.S. Fund, State Street S&P 500 Index V.I.S. Fund, State Street Premier Growth Equity V.I.S. Fund (the “Fund”), State Street Core Value Equity V.I.S. Fund, State Street Small-Cap Equity V.I.S. Fund, State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund, State Street Income V.I.S. Fund and State Street Real Estate Securities V.I.S. Fund. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. Each Fund is a diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act.
Effective November 30, 2016, each individual Fund changed its respective name as follows:

2. | | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. There are no items to report.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Company:
Securities Valuation and Transactions All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost for both financial statement and federal tax purposes.
Derivatives The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may enter into various types of derivative transactions (such as options, futures and options on futures) to gain or hedge exposure to certain types of securities as an alternative to investing directly in or selling such securities.
Futures Contracts A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument, currency or index at a particular price and future date. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund invested in stock index futures contracts to gain equity exposure for accumulating and residual cash positions. Buying futures tends to

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2016
increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument while selling futures tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge other Fund investments. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. The Fund’s risks in using these contracts include changes in the value of the underlying instruments, non-performance of the counterparties under the contracts’ terms and changes in the liquidity of the secondary market for the contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they principally trade.
Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, known as initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the fair value of the underlying security. The Fund records an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may incur a loss. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss on the expiration or closing of a futures contract.
Investment Income Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable withholding taxes, except for certain foreign corporate actions which are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as such information becomes available. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on taxable bonds are to the call or maturity date, whichever is shorter, using the effective yield method.
Expenses Fund specific expenses are charged to the Fund that incurs such expenses. Such expenses may include custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees. Expenses that are not fund specific are allocated pro rata across the Funds. Expenses of the Fund are generally paid directly by the Fund, however, expenses may be paid by the investment adviser and reimbursed by the Fund.
Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution of substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. The Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and providing related disclosures. Broadly, the framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. It also establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs.
Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
| • | | Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets. |
| • | | Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. |
| • | | Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. |

Policies and procedures are maintained to value investments using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, pricing vendors are utilized to assist in valuing investments. The investment adviser performs periodic reviews of the methodologies used by independent pricing services including price validation of individual securities.
Fair Value Measurement The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Fund uses to measure different financial investments at fair value.
The Fund’s portfolio securities are valued generally on the basis of market quotations. Equity securities generally are valued at the last reported sale price on the primary market in which they are traded. Portfolio securities listed on NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Level 1 securities primarily include publicly-traded equity securities, which may not necessarily represent the last sales price. If no sales occurred on the exchange or NASDAQ that day, the portfolio security generally is valued using the last reported bid price. In those circumstances, the Fund typically classifies the investment securities in Level 2.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are typically valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value and these are included in Level 2. If it is determined that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, securities may be valued based on dealer supplied valuations or quotations. In these infrequent circumstances, pricing services may provide the Fund with valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, and in those circumstances the investment securities are classified in Level 3.
Investments in registered investment companies are valued at the published daily net asset value (“NAV”) and classified in Level 1.
If prices are not readily available for a portfolio security, or if it is believed that a price for a portfolio security does not represent its fair value, the security may be valued using procedures approved by the Company’s Board of Directors that are designed to establish its “fair” value. These securities are typically classified in Level 3. Those procedures require that the fair value of a security be established by a valuation committee of the investment adviser. The valuation committee follows different protocols for different types of investments and circumstances. The fair value procedures may be used to value any investment of the Fund in the appropriate circumstances.
Fair value determinations generally are used for securities whose value is affected by a significant event that will materially affect the value of a security and which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such security trades but prior to the calculation of the Fund’s NAV.
The value established for such a portfolio security valued other than by use of a market quotation (as described above) may be different than what would be produced through the use of market quotations or another methodology. Portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that the Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time and it is possible that the Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.
Other financial investments are derivative instruments that are not reflected in total investments, such as futures, forwards, swaps, and written options contracts, which are valued based on fair value as discussed above.
The Fund uses closing prices for derivatives included in Level 1, which are traded either on exchanges or liquid over-the-counter markets. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency and commodity forward and option contracts. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 3 primarily represent interest rate products that contain embedded optionality or prepayment features.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund had an average notional value of $243,225 and $104,694 on long and short futures contracts, respectively. Please refer to the table following the Schedule of Investments for open futures contracts at December 31, 2016.
Prior to July 1, 2016, the Company shared a revolving credit facility of up to $150 million with a number of its affiliates. The credit facility was with the Company’s custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). The revolving credit facility required the payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum on the daily unused portion of the credit facility, payable quarterly. The portion borne by each Fund generally was borne proportionally based upon net assets. Generally, borrowings under the credit facility would accrue interest at the higher of the 1-Month LIBOR plus 1.25% and the Overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% and would be borne by the borrowing Fund. The maximum amount allowed to be borrowed by any one Fund was the lesser of (i) 33.33% of its total assets or (ii) 20% of its net assets. The credit facility was not utilized by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The revolving credit facility with State Street was terminated effective June 30, 2016.

Currently, the Funds and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in a $360 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires October 12, 2017, 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. 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% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate. From July 1, 2016, the date the Funds were added to this credit facility, through October 12, 2016, interest was calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the New York Fed Bank Rate plus 1%.
The credit facilities were not utilized by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
6. | | Compensation and Fees Paid to Affiliates |
SSGA FM, a registered investment adviser, was retained by the Company’s Board of Directors effective July 1, 2016 to act as investment adviser and administrator of the Fund. SSGA FM’s compensation for investment advisory and administrative services (“Management Fee”) is paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of the Fund at an annualized rate of 0.65%.
State Street serves as the sub-administrator and custodian to the Funds. Amounts paid by the Fund to State Street for performing such services are included in advisory and administration and custody and accounting expenses, respectively.
Prior to July 1, 2016, GEAM served as the Fund’s investment adviser and administrator and the Fund paid GEAM a Management Fee at an annualized rate of 0.65%.
Directors’ Compensation The Fund pays no compensation to its Directors who are officers or employees of SSGA FM or its affiliates. Directors who are not such officers or employees also serve in a similar capacity for other funds advised by SSGA FM. Compensation paid to non-interested Directors is reflected on the Statement of Operations. These fees are allocated pro rata across all of the mutual fund platforms served by the Directors, including the Fund, and are based upon the relative net assets of each fund within such platforms. (For additional information about Directors’ compensation, please refer to the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.)
Other Transactions with Affiliates In December 2015, State Street announced a review of the manner in which it invoiced certain expenses to certain of its Investment Servicing clients, primarily in the United States, during an 18-year period going back to 1998 and its determination that it had incorrectly invoiced clients for certain expenses. State Street informed its clients that it will pay to them the expenses it concluded were incorrectly invoiced to them, plus interest.

Affiliated Investments The Fund may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Fund owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
The Fund is subject to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for financial accounting and reporting for the effects of income taxes that result from an entity’s activities during the year. ASC 740 also provides guidance regarding how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. There are no adjustments to the Fund’s net assets required under ASC 740. The Fund’s 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 fiscal year tax returns are still open to examination by the Federal and applicable state tax authorities.
At December 31, 2016, information on the tax cost of investments and distributable earnings on a tax basis was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cost of Investments For Tax Purposes | | Gross Tax | | Net Tax Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | Undistributed Income | | Undistributed Accum. Capital Gain/(Loss) | | Late-Year Losses |

As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had no capital loss carryovers. Capital loss carryovers are available to offset future realized capital gains to the extent provided in the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder. To the extent that these carryover losses are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains offset will not be distributed to shareholders because they would be taxable as ordinary income.
Any qualified late-year loss is deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next tax year (if the Fund elects to defer such loss). Under this regime, generally, the Fund can elect to defer any post-October capital loss and/or any late-year ordinary loss as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.
The Fund incurred no such losses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Year | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | | $ | 202,315 | | | | $ | 3,395,238 | | | | $ | 3,597,553 | |
| | 2015 | | | | | 279,975 | | | | | 5,173,327 | | | | | 5,453,302 | |
Distributions to Shareholders The Fund declares and pays any dividends from net investment income annually. The Fund declares and pays any net realized capital gains in excess of capital loss carryforwards distributions annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These differences include (but are not limited to) investments in futures, return of capital distributions from securities, dividend re-designations and losses deferred due to wash sale transactions. Reclassifications due to permanent book/tax differences are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations. These reclassifications have no impact on net investment income, realized gains or losses, or the NAV of the Fund. The calculation of net investment income per share in the Financial Highlights table excludes these adjustments.
The reclassifications for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | | Capital Paid In |

The reports of KPMG on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years or periods.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and through the period ended June 30, 2016, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. and Shareholders of State Street Premier Growth Equity V.I.S. Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the State Street Premier Growth Equity V.I.S. Fund (formerly GE Investments Premier Growth Equity Fund) (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. (formerly GE Investment Funds, Inc.)) (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2016, and the related statement of operations, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for periods ended prior to January 1, 2016 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 19, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement of changes in net assets and those financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the State Street Premier Growth Equity V.I.S. Fund (one of the funds constituting State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc.) at December 31, 2016, the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

During the period covered by this report, and related to the approval of a new investment adviser, State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. (formerly known as GE Investments Funds, Inc.) (the “Registrant” or the “Funds,” as applicable) has adopted a new code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, applicable to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, which replaces the prior code of ethics.

Item 4. | Principal Accountant Fees and Services. |
(a) AUDIT FEES. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the aggregate audit fees billed for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), the Registrant’s principal accountant, for the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by EY in connection with the Registrant’s statutory and regulatory filings and engagements were $214,300. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, the aggregate audit fees billed for professional services rendered by KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), the Registrant’s prior principal accountant, for the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided in connection with the Registrant’s statutory and regulatory filings and engagements were $170,200.
(b) AUDIT RELATED FEES. There were no fees billed either by EY for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 or KPMG for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, for assurance and related services that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Registrant.
(c) TAX FEES. The aggregate tax fees billed for professional services rendered by EY for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning for the Registrant in the form of preparation of excise filings and income tax returns for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 were $53,172. There were no fees billed for professional services rendered by KPMG for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning for the Registrant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

There were no fees billed for products and services provided by KPMG during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, for the Registrant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item.
(e)(1) AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.
The Audit Committee of the Funds Board of Directors is responsible for, among other things, the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the Funds’ Auditor. As part of this responsibility and to ensure that the Auditor’s independence is not impaired, the Audit Committee (1) pre-approves the audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by the Auditor, and (2) all non-audit services provided to the Funds’ investment adviser and Covered Affiliates (as defined in the Audit Committee Charter) that provide ongoing services to the Funds if the services directly impact the Funds’ operations or financial reporting, in accordance with the Audit Committee Charter. The following excerpt from the Audit Committee Charter sets forth the pre-approval policies and procedures:
Pre-Approval of Audit Related Services and Permissible Non-Audit Services. The Audit Committee shall pre-approve both audit (including audit, review, and attest) services and permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund and, if the nature of the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund, permissible non-audit services provided to any Covered Affiliate.
The Audit Committee may determine to delegate the authority to grant pre-approvals to one or more Audit Committee members, each acting on behalf of the Audit Committee. In this event, the member of the Audit Committee so delegated shall report each delegated pre-approval to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee may also adopt and follow, in lieu of explicit pre-approval described above, written policies and procedures detailed as to the particular service, designed to safeguard the continued independence of the Auditor, consistent with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and SEC regulations there under.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the pre-approval requirement concerning permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund or any Covered Affiliate is waived if: (1) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided constitutes no more than five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid to the Auditor by the Fund and the Covered Affiliates during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee, (2) the non-audit services were not recognized as non-audit services at the time of the engagement, and (3) such non-audit services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved by the Audit Committee or one or more designated members of the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit.
(2) PERCENTAGE OF SERVICES DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPHS (b) THROUGH (d) APPROVED BY AUDIT COMMITTEE. The percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item rendered by EY for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is as follows:
| | | | |
Audit Fees | | | 100 | % |
Audit-Related Fees | | | 100 | % |
Tax Fees | | | 100 | % |
All Other Fees | | | 100 | % |
There were no fees billed by KPMG for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 for audit related, tax or other services as indicated in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) NON-AUDIT FEES. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by EY for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Registrant’s adviser (“Service Affiliates”), for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 were $25,696,758. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by KPMG for services rendered to the Registrant and rendered to any Service Affiliates for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 were $0.
(h) AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE. On July 1, 2016, State Street Corporation acquired the asset management and advisory services business conducted by GE Asset Management Incorporated (“GEAM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of General Electric Company, and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, Shareholders of the Funds voted to approve SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) as investment adviser of the Funds, replacing GEAM.
In connection with the appointment of EY, a member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited, as the independent auditor of the Funds for their fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, EY evaluated its independence and identified the following matters that are inconsistent with the auditor independence rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All of the lobbying services and project management services described below occurred prior to the consummation of the Transaction.
Lobbying services
During the audit period, EY was a registered lobbyist for the parent company of the former investment adviser to the Funds (the “parent company”) under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 and provided lobbying services on behalf of the parent company. The services primarily included lobbying efforts, on behalf of the parent company, relating to tax reform and to changes to the tax code or regulations affecting the parent company and its affiliates. The services did not relate to the asset management business of the Funds.
Project management services
During the audit period, EY was engaged to provide project management support to the parent company and one of its affiliates in relation to certain information technology programs. The services did not relate to the asset management business of the Funds.
Loan Rule
EY has identified one record holder (the “record holder”) of greater than 10% of the shares of State Street Institutional Income Fund (formerly known as GE Institutional Income Fund) and State Street Institutional Premier Growth Equity Fund (formerly known as GE Institutional Premier Growth Equity Fund) (each a series of State Street Institutional Funds (formerly known as GE Institutional Funds)) (collectively, the “Two Funds”), with which EY and covered person professionals maintain lending relationships. These investments in the Two Funds are each held at an omnibus level by the record holder on behalf of its customers, who own the economic interest in the shares. There was one meeting of shareholders of the Two Funds during the audit period. At that meeting, shareholders voted on matters relating to the acquisition by State Street Corporation and its affiliates of substantially all of the asset management and advisory services business conducted by the former investment adviser to the Two Funds, including votes to (i) approve a new investment advisory and administration agreement with SSGA FM, (ii) elect the Trustees to the Board of Trustees, and (iii) approve manager-of-managers authority for SSGA FM with respect to the Two Funds. EY and SSGA FM, through discussion with the record holder, have determined that the record holder did not exercise discretionary authority over the shares it held in respect of any of those votes. EY believes that, while a lending arrangement with a record owner of greater than 10% of the shares is inconsistent with Rule 2-01(c)(1)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-X, the circumstances fall within the situations described in the relevant No Action Letter issued by the SEC Staff on June 20, 2016.
EY has reviewed the independence matters described above and the applicable guidance and has concluded that the services and relationship described above did not impair EY’s ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment in connection with the audits of the financial statements of the Funds under the SEC and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board standards for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. In light of the representations and determinations by EY, SSGA FM has determined that it shares that same belief.
The Audit Committee of the Board of the Funds has considered these independence matters and discussed these matters with EY and members of SSGA FM, and based on these discussions and the statements of SSGA FM and EY, the Audit Committee believes it was reasonable for it to accept the view of EY that EY was capable of exercising objective and impartial judgment in connection with the audits of the financial statements of the Funds in the specific circumstances described above.
