Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs:(1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the able under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
The SSgA Funds (the “Investment Company”) is a series mutual fund, comprised of 20 investment portfolios that were in operation as of February 28, 2011. These financial statements report on three funds: the SSgA Life Solutions Balanced Fund, SSgA Life Solutions Growth Fund and SSgA Life Solutions Income and Growth Fund, each a “Fund” and collectively referred to as the “Funds.” Each Fund is an open-end management investment company, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Investment Company was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 3, 1987 and operates under a First Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement, dated October 13, 1993, as amended (the “Agreement”). The Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (“the Board”) to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest at a $.001 par value.
Class R shares of the Investment Company, which became effective on July 31, 2003, may not be purchased by individuals directly, but must be purchased through a third party financial institution which is permitted by contract with the Investment Company to offer shares. The third party may be a retirement plan administrator, bank, broker or advisor.
The Funds are designed primarily for tax-advantaged retirement accounts and other long-term investment strategies. Each Fund allocates its assets by investing in shares of a combination of the Investment Company’s portfolios (the “Underlying Funds”) and exchange-traded funds (the “Underlying ETFs”) that are advised or sponsored by SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSgA FM” or the “Advisor”) or its affiliates. This arrangement is referred to as a “fund of funds.” The table below illustrates the equity, bond and short-term fund asset allocation ranges for each Fund.

2. | | Significant Accounting Policies |

Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Investments in Underlying Funds are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Underlying Fund as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Underlying ETFs are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the Underlying ETF is principally traded, or lacking any sales price on a particular day, the Underlying ETF may be valued at the closing bid price on that day.
The Underlying Funds value portfolio securities according to Securities Valuation Procedures approved by the Board, including Market Value Procedures and Fair Value Procedures described below.
Fair value of securities is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurement, the fair value hierarchy was established to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to establish classifications of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| | |
| • | Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments |
|
| • | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs including quoted market prices in non-active markets or prices derived from market data. Included are the following: |
| | |
| • | common stocks traded or quoted only on inactive markets |
|
| • | privately placed bonds whose values are derived from a similar bond that is publicly traded |
|
| • | interest rate swaps valued based on compilation of primarily observable swap curves incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | euro commercial paper valued at amortized cost which approximates market and is not priced daily or a broker quote in a non-active market with inputs incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | non registered mutual funds that are daily priced, but not publicly traded |
|
| • | currency forwards valued based on a compilation of primarily observable market currency spot rates incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | corporate bonds and notes, domestic commercial paper, time deposits, U.S. Government Agencies, U.S. Treasury and Yankee Certificates of Deposit using evaluated pricing based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and or live data sources, active market makers and inter-dealer broker inputs incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | mortgage-related and other asset backed securities are valued based on evaluators analyzing features such as the pricing speed, spread and volatility in order to confirm the deal structure. Spreads and other information solicited from Wall Street buy and sell-side sources, including primary and secondary dealers, portfolio managers, and research analysts are used as model inputs. Using evaluated pricing based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and or live data sources, active market makers and inter-dealer broker inputs are incorporated into a model or matrix price (security characteristics including coupon rates and maturity dates are disclosed in the Statement of Investments). |

Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
| | |
| • | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Included are the following: |
| | |
| • | OTC securities using the Company’s own data/models |
|
| • | prices with significant haircuts applied |
|
| • | staled securities — fair valuation procedures are applied |
|
| • | securities that have broken tolerance outlined in the Board-approved securities valuation procedures |
|
| • | no current market quotations — fair valuation procedures are applied |
|
| • | unreliable prices — fair valuation procedures are applied |
Level 3 investments include positions with prices not derived from existing market data. As such, Level 3 assets typically involve the use of financial models, such as discounted cash flow analysis for investments in privately held companies, or other non-market based methods to determine an investment’s Fair Value. One may consider Level 3 investments as those that cannot be quickly liquidated for their stated market value.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Investment Income
Distributions of income and capital gains are recorded from the Underlying Funds on the ex-dividend date.
Federal Income Taxes
Since the Investment Company is a Massachusetts business trust, each Fund is a separate corporate taxpayer and determines its net investment income and capital gains (or losses) and the amounts to be distributed to each Fund’s shareholders without regard to the income and capital gains (or losses) of the other Funds.
It is each Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This required each Fund to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains. Therefore, the Funds paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required for the Funds.
Each Fund files a U.S. tax return. At February 28, 2011, the Funds had recorded no liabilities for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in future tax returns. While the statue of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed August 31, 2007 through August 31, 2009, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

The following Funds had net tax basis capital loss carryovers, which may be applied against any realized net taxable gains in each succeeding year or until their expiration dates, whichever occurs first. At August 31, 2010, the capital loss carryovers and expiration dates are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Income dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends are generally declared and paid quarterly. Capital gain distributions are generally declared and paid annually. An additional distribution may be paid by the Funds to avoid imposition of federal income tax on any remaining undistributed net investment income and capital gains.
Capital gain distributions are generally declared and paid annually. The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for GAAP purposes. These differences primarily relate to wash sale deferrals, capital loss carryforwards, and post October losses. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting are reclassified to paid-in-capital.
Expenses
Most expenses can be directly attributed to each fund. Expenses of the Investment Company which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are allocated among the funds based principally on their relative average net assets. Expenses included in the accompanying Statements of Operations reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Funds may own different proportions of Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Funds will vary.
The Life Solutions Funds offer Institutional and Class R Shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees. Shareholders of each class bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. Realized and unrealized gains (losses), net investment income, and expenses with the exception of class level expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Advisor and Affiliates
The Advisor manages the Funds pursuant to a written investment advisory agreement dated May 1, 2001, as amended, between the Investment Company and the Advisor. The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, a publicly held bank holding company. The Advisor and other advisory affiliates of State Street Corporation make up State Street Global Advisors, the investment management arm of State Street Corporation and its affiliated companies. The Advisor directs the investments of the Funds in accordance with their investment objectives, policies, and limitations.
The Funds are not charged a fee by the Advisor. However, each Fund pays advisory fees to the Advisor indirectly as a shareholder in the Underlying Funds and Underlying ETFs. The Funds will bear their proportionate share of any investment advisory fees and other expenses paid by the Underlying Funds and Underlying ETFs. Each Underlying Fund and Underlying ETFs pays the Advisor a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly that on an annual basis is equal to a certain percentage of each Underlying Fund’s and Underlying ETF’s average daily net assets.
If the total expenses of the Institutional Class are above its cap, the Advisor will waive its advisory fee for both Institutional and Class R in an equal amount to reduce the total expenses to the level of the cap in effect for the Institutional Class.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of the Funds’ advisory fee and reimburse the Institutional Class and Class R for all expenses of the Institutional Class in excess of 0.45% of average daily net assets on an annual basis until December 31, 2011 (exclusive of non-recurring account fees, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees). The total amount of the waiver for the Balanced Fund Institutional Class and Class R for the period ended February 28, 2011 was $33,766 and $645, respectively. The total amount of the waiver for the Growth Fund Institutional Class and Class R for the period ended February 28, 2011 was $75,062 and $4,170, respectively. The total amount of the waiver for the Income and Growth Fund Institutional Class and Class R for the period ended February 28, 2011 was $52,614 and $28,972, respectively.
The Advisor does not have the ability to recover amounts waived or reimbursed from prior periods.
The Investment Company also has a contract with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) to provide custody and fund accounting services to the Funds. For these services, the Funds pay State Street asset-based fees that vary according to the number of positions and transactions plus out-of-pocket expenses.
The Funds are permitted to invest their cash reserves (i.e., monies awaiting investment in portfolio securities suitable for the Funds’ objectives) in the SSgA Prime Money Market Fund (“Central Fund”) (a series of the Investment Company not presented herein). Shares of the Central Fund sold to and redeemed from any participating fund will not be subject to a redemption fee, distribution fee or service fee. If Central Fund shares sold to or redeemed from a participating fund are subject to any such distribution or service fee, the Advisor will waive its advisory fee for each participating fund in an amount that offsets the amount of such distribution and/or service fees incurred by the participating fund. As of February 28, 2011, $4,171 of the Central Fund’s net assets represents investments by these Funds, and $12,403,020 represents the investments of other Investment Company funds not presented herein.
Boston Financial Data Services (“BFDS”) a joint venture of DST Systems, Inc., and State Street Corporation serves as transfer, dividend paying, and shareholder servicing agent to the Funds. For these services, the Funds pay annual account services fees, activity based fees, charges related to compliance and regulatory services and a minimum fee of $200 for each Fund.

The Funds have entered into arrangements with State Street Corporation whereby custody credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the Funds’ expenses. As of February 28, 2011, the Funds’ custodian fees were reduced by the following amounts under these arrangements:
Administrator
Russell Fund Services Company (“RFSC” or the “Administrator”) serves as the Investment Company’s Administrator, pursuant to an Administration Agreement dated January 1, 2008 (the “Administration Agreement”). Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator supervises certain administrative aspects of the Investment Company’s operations. The Investment Company pays the Administrator an annual fee, payable monthly on a pro rata basis. RFSC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Russell Investment Management Company (“RIMCo”).
Distributor and Shareholder Servicing
The Investment Company has a distribution agreement dated March 1, 2002, as amended, between the Investment Company and the Distributor, to promote and offer shares of the Investment Company. The Distributor may enter into sub-distribution agreements with other non-related parties. The amounts paid to the Distributor are included in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
Institutional Class
The Investment Company maintains a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under this Plan, the Investment Company is authorized to make payments to the Distributor, or any shareholder servicing agent, as defined in the Plan, for providing distribution and marketing services, for furnishing assistance to investors on an ongoing basis, and for the reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses charged by the Distributor in connection with the distribution and marketing of shares of the Investment Company and the servicing of investor accounts. Each Fund has Shareholder Service Agreements with State Street and the following entities related to State Street: State Street Global Markets LLC (“Global Markets”), Fiduciary Investors Services Division of State Street (“Fiduciary Investors Services”) and High Net Worth Services Division of State Street (“High Net Worth Services”) (collectively, the “Agents”), as well as several unaffiliated services providers.
For these services, each Institutional Class pays a maximum of 0.13%, based upon the average daily value of all Institutional Class shares held by or for customers of these Agents. For the period ended February 28, 2011, each Institutional Class paid the following shareholder servicing expenses to the Agents:
| | | | |
| | Global Markets |
Balanced | | $ | 638 | |
Growth | | | 65 | |
Income and Growth | | | 1 | |
| | | | |
Each Institutional Class did not incur any expenses from Fiduciary Investors Services and High Net Worth Services during the period.
Payments to the Distributor, as well as payments to service organizations from each institutional class, are not permitted by the Plan to exceed 0.25% of each institutional class’ average net asset value per year. Any payments that are required to be made by the Distribution Agreement and any Service Agreement but could not be made because of the 0.25% limitation may be carried forward and paid in subsequent years so long as the Plan is in effect. Each class’ liability for any such expenses carried forward shall terminate at the end of two years following the year in which the expenditure was incurred. The Trustees or a majority of each class’ shareholders have the right, however, to terminate the Plan and all payments thereunder at anytime. The Institutional Class will not be obligated to reimburse the Distributor for carryover expenses subsequent to the Plan’s termination or noncontinuance.

Class R
The Investment Company maintains a distribution plan with respect to the Class R Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “R Plan”) under the 1940 Act. The R Plan allows a fund to pay fees for the sale and distribution of fund shares and for services provided to shareholders by the Distributor or other financial intermediaries. Payments to the Distributor for distribution, marketing, shareholder and administrative services provided to a fund by the Distributor or a financial intermediary are not permitted by the R Plan to exceed 0.70% of a class’ average daily net asset value on an annual basis. The Distributor pays financial intermediaries for shareholder and administrative services provided to a fund out of the fee the Distributor receives from the fund. Fees paid to the financial intermediaries providing these services are not permitted by the R Plan to exceed 0.65% of a class’ average daily net asset value on an annual basis. Any payments that are required to be made to the Distributor or financial intermediaries that cannot be made because of the limitations contained in the R Plan may be carried forward and paid in the following two fiscal years as long as the R Plan is in effect.
Under the R Plan, the Funds have a distribution agreement with the Distributor. For these services, Class R pays the Distributor up to 0.05% of the daily net asset value. For the period ended February 28, 2011, this amounted to:

6. | | Interfund Lending Program |
The Funds participate in a joint lending and borrowing facility. Portfolios of the Funds may borrow money from the SSgA Money Market Fund for temporary purposes. All such borrowing and lending will be subject to a participating fund’s fundamental investment limitations. The SSgA Money Market Fund will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements or short-term reserves. The Funds will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. A participating fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to the SSgA Money Market Fund could result in additional borrowing costs. For the period ended February 28, 2011, the Funds did not utilize the Interfund Lending Program.

7. | | Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk |
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or

economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their value as recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Management has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since February 28, 2011, through the date the financial statements were issued, that would merit recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. During this review nothing was discovered which would require further disclosure within the Financial Statements.

“SSgA” is a registered trademark of State Street Corporation and is licensed for use by the SSgA Funds.
This report is prepared from the books and records of the Funds and it is submitted for the general information of shareholders. This information is for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by a SSgA Funds Prospectus containing more complete information concerning the investment objectives and operations of the Funds, charges and expenses. The Prospectus should be read carefully before an investment is made.
Performance quoted represents past performance and past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. For the most recent month end performance information, visit www.ssgafunds.com. Investment in the Funds poses investment risks, including the possible loss of principal. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or another governmental agency. Although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund.

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the able under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses Paid During Period* | | $ | 1.69 | | | $ | 1.71 | |
| |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.34% (representing the six month period annualized), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Includes amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the investment advisor. Without the waiver and/or reimbursement, expenses would have been higher. |

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the able under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Includes amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the investment advisor. Without the waiver and/or reimbursement, expenses would have been higher. |

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the able under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

SSgA
Money Market Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
The SSgA Funds (the “Investment Company”) is a series mutual fund, comprised of 20 investment portfolios that were in operation as of February 28, 2011. These financial statements report on three funds: the SSgA Money Market Fund, SSgA U.S. Government Money Market Fund and SSgA Tax Free Money Market Fund, each a “Fund” and collectively referred to as the “Funds,” each of which has distinct investment objectives and strategies. Each Fund is an open-end management investment company, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Investment Company was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 3, 1987 and operates under a First Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement, dated October 13, 1993, as amended (the “Agreement”). The Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest at a $.001 par value.
| | |
2. | | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require the use of management estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
As permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, each Fund values portfolio investments using the amortized cost method. Under this method, each portfolio instrument is initially valued at cost, and thereafter assumes the constant accretion/amortization to maturity date or next reset date of any discount or premium. While amortized cost provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods when the value of an instrument is higher or lower than a price the Fund would receive if it sold the instrument.
Fair value of securities is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurement, the fair value hierarchy was established to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to establish classifications of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| | |
| • | Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments |
|
| • | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs including quoted market prices in non-active markets or prices derived from market data. Included are the following: |
| | |
| • | common stocks traded or quoted only on inactive markets |
|
| • | privately placed bonds whose values are derived from a similar bond that is publicly traded |
|
| • | interest rate swaps valued based on compilation of primarily observable swap curves incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | euro commercial paper valued at amortized cost which approximates market and is not priced daily or a broker quote in a non-active market with inputs incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | non registered mutual funds that are daily priced, but not publicly traded |
| | |

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
| | |
| • | currency forwards valued based on a compilation of primarily observable market currency spot rates incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | corporate bonds and notes, domestic commercial paper, time deposits, U.S. Government Agencies, U.S. Treasury and Yankee Certificates of Deposit using evaluated pricing based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and or live data sources, active market makers and inter-dealer broker inputs incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | mortgage-related and other asset backed securities are valued based on evaluators analyzing features such as the pricing speed, spread and volatility in order to confirm the deal structure. Spreads and other information solicited from Wall Street buy and sell-side sources, including primary and secondary dealers, portfolio managers, and research analysts are used as model inputs. Using evaluated pricing based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and or live data sources, active market makers and inter-dealer broker inputs are incorporated into a model or matrix price (security characteristics including coupon rates and maturity dates are disclosed in the Statement of Investments). |
Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
| | |
| • | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Included are the following: |
| | |
| • | OTC securities using the Company’s own data/models |
|
| • | prices with significant haircuts applied |
|
| • | staled securities — fair valuation procedures are applied |
|
| • | securities that have broken tolerance outlined in the Board-approved securities valuation procedures |
|
| • | no current market quotations — fair valuation procedures are applied |
|
| • | unreliable prices — fair valuation procedures are applied |
Level 3 investments include positions with prices not derived from existing market data. As such, Level 3 assets typically involve the use of financial models, such as discounted cash flow analysis for investments in privately held companies, or other non-market based methods to determine an investment’s Fair Value. One may consider Level 3 investments as those that cannot be quickly liquidated for their stated market value.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date basis, which in most instances is the same as the settlement date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Investment Income
Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. Distributions received on securities that represent a return on capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction on cost of investments and/or as a realized gain.
Federal Income Taxes
Since the Investment Company is a Massachusetts business trust, each Fund is a separate corporate taxpayer and determines its net investment income and capital gains (or losses) and the amounts to be distributed to each Fund’s shareholders without regard to the income and capital gains (or losses) of the other Funds.

Money Market Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
It is each Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This required each Fund to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains. Therefore, the Funds paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required for the Funds.
Each Fund files a U.S. tax return. At February 28, 2011, the Funds had recorded no liabilities for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in future tax returns. While the statue of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed August 31, 2007 through August 31, 2009, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
At August 31, 2010, the following Funds had net tax basis capital loss carryovers, which may be applied against any realized net taxable gains in each succeeding year or until their expiration dates, whichever occurs first, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Expiration Year |
| | 8/31/2011 | | 8/31/2012 | | 8/31/2013 | | 8/31/2014 | | 8/31/2015 | | 8/31/2017 | | Total |

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
The Funds declare and record dividends on net investment income daily and pay them monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are generally declared and paid annually. An additional distribution may be paid by the Funds to avoid imposition of federal income tax on any remaining undistributed net investment income and capital gains. Each Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting net asset value for differences between federal tax regulations and generally accepted accounting principles.
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for GAAP purposes. These differences relate primarily to non-deductible deferred compensation and capital loss carryforwards. For the period ended February 28, 2011, there were no permanent differences between book and tax accounting.
Expenses
Most expenses can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses of the Investment Company which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are allocated among all funds of the Investment Company based principally on their relative average net assets.
Repurchase Agreements
A repurchase agreement customarily obligates the seller at the time it sells securities to the Funds to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon price and time. The total amount received by the Funds on repurchase is calculated to exceed the price paid by the Funds, reflecting an agreed-upon market rate of interest for the period of time to the settlement date, and is not necessarily related to the interest rate on the underlying securities. The underlying securities are ordinarily United States Government securities, but may consist of other securities in which the Funds are permitted to invest. Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized at all times. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. For example, if the seller of securities under a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities (as a result of its bankruptcy or otherwise) the Funds will seek to dispose of such securities; this action could involve costs or delays. The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements maturing within a specified date with domestic dealers, banks and other financial institutions deemed to be creditworthy by SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSgA FM” or the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”).
Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Advisor and Affiliates
The Advisor manages the Funds pursuant to a written Investment Advisory Agreement dated May 1, 2001, as amended, between the Investment Company and the Advisor. The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, a publicly held bank holding company. The Advisor and other advisory affiliates of State Street Corporation make up State Street Global Advisors, the investment management arm of State Street Corporation and its affiliated companies. The Advisor directs the investments of each Fund in accordance with their investment objectives, policies, and limitations. For these services, the Funds pay a fee to the Advisor, calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.25% of their daily net assets.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of the Money Market Fund’s advisory fee and reimburse the Fund for all expenses in excess of 0.40% of its average daily net assets on an annual basis until December 31, 2011 (exclusive of non-recurring account fees, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees). For the period ended February 28, 2011, there were no contractual waivers or reimbursements for the Money Market Fund.
The Advisor does not have the ability to recover amounts waived or reimbursed from prior periods.
The Advisor may reimburse expenses or waive fees in order to avoid a negative yield. Any such waiver or reimbursement would be voluntary and may be revised or cancelled at any time without notice. For the period ended February 28, 2011, the Advisor voluntarily waived $1,689,732 and $3,494,754 on the Money Market Fund and U.S. Government Money Market Fund, respectively. The Advisor voluntarily waived $98,887 and reimbursed $73,020 on the Tax Free Money Market Fund. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to avoid a negative yield.
The Investment Company also has a contract with State Street to provide custody and fund accounting services to the Funds. For these services, the Funds pay State Street asset-based fees that vary according to the number of positions and transactions plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Boston Financial Data Services (“BFDS”) a joint venture of DST Systems, Inc., and State Street Corporation, serves as transfer, dividend paying, and shareholder servicing agent to the Funds. For these services, the Funds pay annual account services fees, activity based fees, charges related to compliance and regulatory services and a minimum fee of $200 for each Fund.
In addition, the Funds have entered into arrangements with State Street whereby custody credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the Funds’ expenses. The custody credits are included in the expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the period ended February 28, 2011, the Funds’ custodian fees were reduced by the following amounts under these arrangements:

The Distributor may enter into sub-distribution agreements with other related and non-related parties. The amounts paid to the Distributor are included in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
The Investment Company maintains a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Investment Company is authorized to make payments to the Distributor, or any shareholder servicing agent as defined in the Plan, for providing distribution and marketing services, for furnishing assistance to investors on an ongoing basis, and for the reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses charged by the Distributor in connection with the distribution and marketing of shares of the Investment Company and the servicing of investor accounts.
Each Fund has shareholder service agreements with State Street and the following entities related to State Street: State Street Global Markets LLC (“Global Markets”), Fiduciary Investors Services Division of State Street (“Fiduciary Investors Services”), High Net Worth Services Division of State Street (“High Net Worth Services”) and Wealth Management Systems (collectively, the “Agents”), as well as several unaffiliated service providers. For these services, each Fund pays 0.025% to State Street, and a maximum of 0.175% to each of the Agents, based upon the average daily value of all Fund shares held by or for customers of these Agents.

The combined distribution and shareholder servicing payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the average daily value of net assets of a Fund on an annual basis. The shareholder servicing payments shall not exceed 0.20% of the average daily value of net assets of a Fund on an annual basis. Costs that exceed the maximum amount of allowable reimbursement may be carried forward for two years following the year in which the expenditure was incurred so long as the Plan is in effect. The Funds’ responsibility for any such expenses carried forward shall terminate at the end of two years following the year in which the expenditure was incurred. The Trustees or a majority of the Funds’ shareholders have the right, however, to terminate the Plan and all payments thereunder at any time. The Funds will not be obligated to reimburse the Distributor for carryover expenses subsequent to the Plan’s termination or noncontinuance.
Board of Trustees
The Investment Company paid each trustee not affiliated with the Investment Company an annual retainer, plus specified amounts for Board and committee meetings attended. These expenses are allocated among all of the funds of the Investment Company, except for the Life Solutions Funds, based upon their relative net assets.

5. | | Interfund Lending Program |
The Funds participate in a joint lending and borrowing facility. Portfolios of the funds may borrow money from the SSgA Money Market Fund for temporary purposes. All such borrowing and lending will be subject to a participating fund’s fundamental investment limitations. The SSgA Money Market Fund will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements or short-term reserves. The Funds will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. A participating fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to the SSgA Money Market Fund could result in additional borrowing costs. Interest Income on the Statement of Operations for the Money Market Fund includes $17,548 received from the Interfund Lending Program for the period ended February 28, 2011.

Restricted securities are subject to contractual limitations on resale, are often issued in private placement transactions, and are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). The most common types of restricted securities are those sold under Rule 144A of the Act and commercial paper sold under Section 4(2) of the Act.
A Fund may invest a portion of its net assets not to exceed 5% in securities that are illiquid. Illiquid securities are securities that may not be readily marketable, and that cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which the Fund has valued the securities. Restricted securities are generally considered to be illiquid.
For the period ended February 28, 2011, there were no restricted securities held by a Fund that were illiquid.
Illiquid securities and restricted securities may be priced by the Funds using the Fair Value Procedures approved by the Board.
| | |
7. | | Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk |
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). The value of securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their value as recorded in the Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Management has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since February 28, 2011, through the date the financial statements were issued, that would merit recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. During this review nothing was discovered which would require further disclosure within the financial statements.

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the able under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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.

SSgA
Institutional Money Market Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
The SSgA Funds (the “Investment Company”) is a series mutual fund, comprised of 20 investment portfolios that were in operation as of February 28, 2011. These financial statements report on two funds: the SSgA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and SSgA Prime Money Market Fund, each a “Fund” and collectively referred to as the “Funds,” each of which has distinct investment objectives and strategies. Each Fund is an open-end management investment company, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Investment Company was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 3, 1987 and operates under a First Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement, dated October 13, 1993, as amended (the “Agreement”). The Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest at a $.001 par value.
| | |
2. | | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require the use of management estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
As permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, each Fund values portfolio investments using the amortized cost method. Under this method, each portfolio instrument is initially valued at cost, and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. While amortized cost provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods when the value of an instrument is higher or lower than the price a Fund would receive if it sold the instrument.
Fair value of securities is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurement, the fair value hierarchy was established to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to establish classifications of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| | |
| • | Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments |
|
| • | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs including quoted market prices in non-active markets or prices derived from market data. Included are the following: |
| | |
| • | common stocks traded or quoted only on inactive markets |
|
| • | privately placed bonds whose values are derived from a similar bond that is publicly traded |
|
| • | interest rate swaps valued based on compilation of primarily observable swap curves incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | euro commercial paper valued at amortized cost which approximates market and is not priced daily or a broker quote in a non-active market with inputs incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | non registered mutual funds that are daily priced, but not publicly traded |
| | |
20 | | Notes to Financial Statements |
SSgA
Institutional Money Market Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
| | |
| • | currency forwards valued based on a compilation of primarily observable market currency spot rates incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | corporate bonds and notes, domestic commercial paper, time deposits, U.S. Government Agencies, U.S. Treasury and Yankee Certificates of Deposit using evaluated pricing based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and or live data sources, active market makers and inter-dealer broker inputs incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | mortgage-related and other asset backed securities are valued based on evaluators analyzing features such as the pricing speed, spread and volatility in order to confirm the deal structure. Spreads and other information solicited from Wall Street buy and sell-side sources, including primary and secondary dealers, portfolio managers, and research analysts are used as model inputs. Using evaluated pricing based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and or live data sources, active market makers and inter-dealer broker inputs are incorporated into a model or matrix price (security characteristics including coupon rates and maturity dates are disclosed in the Statement of Investments). |
Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
| | |
| • | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Included are the following: |
| | |
| • | OTC securities using the Company’s own data/models |
|
| • | prices with significant haircuts applied |
|
| • | staled securities — fair valuation procedures are applied |
|
| • | securities that have broken tolerance outlined in the Board-approved securities valuation procedures |
|
| • | no current market quotations — fair valuation procedures are applied |
|
| • | unreliable prices — fair valuation procedures are applied |
Level 3 investments include positions with prices not derived from existing market data. As such, Level 3 assets typically involve the use of financial models, such as discounted cash flow analysis for investments in privately held companies, or other non-market based methods to determine an investment’s Fair Value. One may consider Level 3 investments as those that cannot be quickly liquidated for their stated market value.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date basis, which in most instances is the same as the settlement date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Investment Income
Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. Distributions received on securities that represent a return on capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction on cost of investments and/or as a realized gain.
Federal Income Taxes
Since the Investment Company is a Massachusetts business trust, each Fund is a separate corporate taxpayer and determines its net investment income and capital gains (or losses) and the amounts to be distributed to each Fund’s shareholders without regard to the income and capital gains (or losses) of the other Funds.

It is each Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This required each Fund to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains. Therefore, the Funds paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required for the Funds.
Each Fund files a U.S. tax return. At February 28, 2011, the Funds had recorded no liabilities for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in future tax returns. While the statue of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed August 31, 2007 through August 31, 2009, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
The Funds may have net tax basis capital loss carryforwards which may be applied against any realized net taxable gains in each succeeding year or until their respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first. At August 31, 2010, the Funds had no net tax basis capital loss carryforwards.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
The Funds declare and record dividends on net investment income daily and pay them monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are generally declared and paid annually. An additional distribution may be paid by the Funds to avoid imposition of federal income tax on any remaining undistributed net investment income and capital gains. Each Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting net asset value for differences between federal tax regulations and GAAP.
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for GAAP purposes. These differences relate primarily to non-deductible deferred compensation and capital loss carryforwards. For the period ended February 28, 2011, there were no permanent differences between book and tax accounting.
Expenses
Most expenses can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses of the Investment Company which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are allocated among all funds of the Investment Company based principally on their relative average net assets.
Repurchase Agreements
A repurchase agreement customarily obligates the seller at the time it sells securities to the Funds to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon price and time. The total amount received by the Funds on repurchase is calculated to exceed the price paid by the Funds, reflecting an agreed-upon market rate of interest for the period of time to the settlement date, and is not necessarily related to the interest rate on the underlying securities. The underlying securities are ordinarily United States Government securities, but may consist of other securities in which the Funds are permitted to invest. Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized at all times. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. For example, if the seller of securities under a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities (as a result of its bankruptcy or otherwise) the Funds will seek to dispose of such securities; this action could involve costs or delays. The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements maturing within a specified date with domestic dealers, banks and other financial institutions deemed to be creditworthy by SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSgA FM” or the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”).
Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Advisor and Affiliates
The Advisor manages the Funds pursuant to a written Investment Advisory Agreement dated May 1, 2001, as amended, between the Investment Company and the Advisor. The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, a publicly held bank holding company. The Advisor and other advisory affiliates of State Street Corporation make up State Street Global Advisors, the investment management arm of State Street Corporation and its affiliated companies. The Advisor directs the investments of each Fund in accordance with their investment objectives, policies, and limitations. For these services, the Funds pay a fee to the Advisor, calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.15% of its daily average net assets.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive 0.05% of its 0.15% advisory fee on the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund until December 31, 2011. The Advisor also contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund’s advisory fee and reimburse the Fund for all expenses in excess of 0.20% of its average daily net assets on an annual basis until December 31, 2011 (exclusive of non-recurring fees, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees). The total amounts of the waiver and reimbursement for the period ended February 28, 2011 were $1,098,159 and $0, respectively.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive 0.05% of its 0.15% advisory fee on the Prime Money Market Fund until December 31, 2011. The Advisor also contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of the Prime Money Market Fund’s advisory fee and reimburse the Fund for all expenses in excess of 0.20% of its average daily net assets on an annual basis until December 31, 2011 (exclusive of non-recurring fees, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees). The total amounts of the waiver and reimbursement for the period ended February 28, 2011 were $2,890,880 and $591,133, respectively.
The Advisor does not have the ability to recover amounts waived or reimbursed from prior periods.
The Advisor may reimburse expenses or waive fees in order to avoid a negative yield. Any such waiver or reimbursement would be voluntary and may be revised or cancelled at any time without notice. For the period ended February 28, 2011, the Advisor voluntarily waived $870,474 on the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund. There were no voluntary waivers for the Prime Money Market Fund as of February 28, 2011. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to avoid a negative yield.
The Investment Company also has a contract with State Street to provide custody and fund accounting services to the Funds. For these services, the Funds pay State Street asset-based fees that vary according to the number of positions and transactions plus out-of-pocket expenses.
The SSgA Funds are permitted to invest their cash reserves (i.e., monies awaiting investment in portfolio securities suitable for the Funds’ objectives) in the SSgA Prime Money Market Fund (“Central Fund”). As of February 28, 2011, $12,407,191 represents the investments of other Investment Company Funds not presented herein.
Boston Financial Data Services (“BFDS”) a joint venture of DST Systems, Inc., and State Street Corporation, serves as transfer, dividend paying, and shareholder servicing agent to the Funds. For these services, the Funds pay annual account services fees, activity based fees, charges related to compliance and regulatory services and a minimum fee of $200 for each Fund.
In addition, the Funds have entered into arrangements with State Street whereby custody credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the Funds’ expenses. The custody credits are included in the expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the period ended February 28, 2011, the Funds’ custodian fees were reduced by the following amounts under these arrangements:
| | | | |
| | Amount Paid |
Prime Money Market | | $ | 15 | |
Administrator
Russell Fund Services Company (“RFSC” or the “Administrator”) serves as the Investment Company’s Administrator, pursuant to an administration agreement dated January 1, 2008 (the “Administration Agreement”). Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator supervises certain administrative aspects of the Investment Company’s operations. The Investment Company pays the Administrator an annual fee, payable monthly on a pro rata basis. RFSC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Russell

Investment Management Company (“RIMCo”). The annual fee is based on the following percentages of the average daily net assets of all five of the Investment Company’s money market portfolios: $0 up to $15 billion — 0.0315%; over $15 billion — 0.029%. In addition, the Administrator charges a flat fee of $30,000 per year per Fund with less than $500 million in assets under management. In addition, the Funds reimburse the Administrator for out-of-pocket expenses.
Distributor and Shareholder Servicing
The Investment Company has a distribution agreement dated March 1, 2002, as amended, between the Investment Company and State Street Global Markets, LLC (the “Distributor”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, to promote and offer shares of the Investment Company. The Distributor may enter into agreements with other related and non-related parties. The amounts paid to the Distributor are included in the accompanying Statements of Operations.
The Investment Company has a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under this Plan, the Investment Company is authorized to make payments to the Distributor, or any Shareholder Servicing Agent, as defined in the Plan, for providing distribution and marketing services, for furnishing assistance to investors on an ongoing basis, and for the reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses charged by the Distributor in connection with the distribution and marketing of shares of the Investment Company and the servicing of investor accounts.
The Funds have shareholder service agreements with State Street and Wealth Management Systems. For these services, each Fund pays a maximum of 0.025% to State Street and 0.05% to Wealth Management Systems, based on the average daily value of all Fund shares held. For the period ended February 28, 2011, the Funds paid the following shareholder servicing expenses to affiliated service providers:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | Wealth
|
| | | | Management

Prime Money Market | | | 1,445,440 | | | | 187,135 | |
The combined distribution and shareholder servicing payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the average daily value of net assets of a Fund on an annual basis. The shareholder servicing payments shall not exceed 0.20% of the average daily value of net assets of a Fund on an annual basis. Costs that exceed the maximum amount of allowable reimbursement may be carried forward for two years following the year in which the expenditure was incurred so long as the Plan is in effect. The Funds’ responsibility for any such expenses carried forward shall terminate at the end of two years following the year in which the expenditure was incurred. The trustee or a majority of the Funds’ shareholders have the right, however, to terminate the Plan and all payments thereunder at any time. The Funds will not be obligated to reimburse the Distributor for carryover expenses subsequent to the Plan’s termination or noncontinuance.
Board of Trustees
The Investment Company paid each trustee not affiliated with the Investment Company an annual retainer, plus specified amounts for Board and committee meetings attended. These expenses are allocated among all of the Funds of the Investment Company, except for the Life Solutions Funds, based upon their relative net assets.

Restricted securities are subject to contractual limitations on resale, are often issued in private placement transactions, and are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). The most common types of restricted securities are those sold under Rule 144A of the Act and commercial paper sold under Section 4(2) of the Act.
A Fund may invest a portion of its net assets not to exceed 5% in securities that are illiquid. Illiquid securities are securities that may not be readily marketable, and that cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which the Fund has valued the securities. Restricted securities are generally considered to be illiquid.
For the period ended February 28, 2011, there were no restricted securities held by a Fund that were illiquid.
Illiquid securities and restricted securities may be priced by the Funds using the Fair Value Procedures approved by the Board.

6. | | Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk |
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). The value of securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their value as recorded in the Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Management has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since February 28, 2011, through the date the financial statements were issued, that would merit recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. During this review nothing was discovered which would require further disclosure within the Financial Statements.

“SSgA” is a registered trademark of State Street Corporation and is licensed for use by the SSgA Funds. This report is prepared from the books and records of the Funds and it is submitted for the general information of shareholders. This information is for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by a SSgA Funds Prospectus containing more complete information concerning the investment objectives and operations of the Funds, charges and expenses. The Prospectus should be read carefully before an investment is made.
Performance quoted represents past performance and past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. For the most recent month end performance information, visit www.ssgafunds.com. Investment in the Funds poses investment risks, including the possible loss of principal. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses Paid During Period* | | $ | 2.98 | | | $ | 3.01 | |
| |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.60% (representing the six month period annualized), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Includes amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the investment advisor. Without the waiver and/or reimbursement, expenses would have been higher. |

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs:(1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the able under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses Paid During Period* | | $ | 3.94 | | | $ | 3.76 | |
| |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.75% (representing the six month period annualized), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Includes amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the investment advisor. Without the waiver and/or reimbursement, expenses would have been higher. |

Fixed Income Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
The SSgA Funds (the “Investment Company”) is a series mutual fund, comprised of 20 investment portfolios that were in operation as of February 28, 2011. These financial statements report on three funds: the SSgA Bond Market Fund, SSgA Intermediate Fund and SSgA High Yield Bond Fund, each a “Fund” and collectively referred to as the “Funds,” each of which has distinct investment objectives and strategies. Each Fund is an open-end management investment company, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Investment Company was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 3, 1987 and operates under a First Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement, dated October 13, 1993, as amended (the “Agreement”). The Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest at a $.001 par value.
Effective July 31, 2003, the Bond Market Fund began offering Class R shares. Class R shares of the Bond Market Fund may not be purchased by individuals directly, but must be purchased through a third party financial institution which is permitted by contract with the Investment Company to offer shares. The third party may be a retirement plan administrator, bank, broker or advisor.

2. | | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) which require the use of management estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Debt securities listed and traded principally on any national securities exchange are valued at the evaluated bid price or, if there were no sales on that day, at the last reported bid price on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. Over-the-counter fixed-income securities and options are valued on the basis of the last sale price. Many fixed-income securities do not trade each day, and thus last sale or bid prices are frequently not available. Accordingly, fixed-income securities may be valued using prices provided by a pricing service approved by the Board. Pricing services generally use matrix pricing which take into consideration yield or bond prices of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, as well as a “qualified broker quote.” A qualified broker quote is a price that originates from the trading desk of a broker-dealer that is actively trading in the applicable security. At February 28, 2011, none of the Funds’ net assets were priced using a qualified broker quote. Exchange-listed futures contracts will be priced at the settlement price and options on futures will be priced at their last sale price on the exchange on which they principally trade. If there were no sales, futures are valued at the last reported bid price. Investments in other mutual funds are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
Short-Term instruments purchased by the Funds and maturing within 60 days of the time of purchase are valued at “amortized cost” unless the Board determines that amortized cost does not represent fair value.
Money market instruments maturing within 60 days of the valuation date are valued at “amortized cost”.
If market quotations are not readily available for a security or if subsequent events suggest that a market quotation is not reliable, the Funds will use the security’s fair value, as determined in accordance with Fair Value Procedures adopted by the Board. This generally means that equity securities and fixed income securities listed and traded principally on any national securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale price or, lacking any sales, at the closing bid price, on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. The Funds may use the fair value of a portfolio security to calculate their NAV when, for example: (1) market quotations are not readily available because a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed; (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the time as of which the Funds calculate their NAV; (3) where a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time of the market quotation provided for a portfolio security and the time as of which the Funds calculate their NAV; (4) a security’s price has remained unchanged over an extended period of time (often referred to as a “stale

price”), or (5) State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”), or Russell Fund Services Company, (the “Administrator”), determines that a market quotation is unreliable.
The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board believes reflects fair value. A security valued on the basis of an evaluation of its fair value may be valued at a price higher or lower than available market quotations. A security’s valuation may differ depending on the method used and the factors considered in determining value pursuant to the Fair Value Procedures. There can be no assurance that the Funds’ NAV fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing when using the Fair Value Procedures to price the Funds’ securities. Events or circumstances affecting the values of fund securities that occur between the closing of the principal markets on which they trade and the time the NAV of fund shares is determined may be reflected in the Investment Company’s calculation of NAVs for each applicable fund when the Investment Company deems that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such fund’s NAV.
Because foreign securities can trade on days on which the New York Stock Exchange is not open for regular trading, the NAV of a fund’s portfolio that includes foreign securities may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem fund shares.
Fair value of securities is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurement, the fair value hierarchy was established to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to establish classifications of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| | |
| • | Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments |
|
| • | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs including quoted market prices in non-active markets or prices derived from market data. Included are the following: |
| | |
| • | common stocks traded or quoted only on inactive markets |
|
| • | privately placed bonds whose values are derived from a similar bond that is publicly traded |
|
| • | interest rate swaps valued based on compilation of primarily observable swap curves incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | euro commercial paper valued at amortized cost which approximates market and is not priced daily or a broker quote in a non-active market with inputs incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | non registered mutual funds that are daily priced, but not publicly traded |
|
| • | currency forwards valued based on a compilation of primarily observable market currency spot rates incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | corporate bonds and notes, domestic commercial paper, time deposits, U.S. Government Agencies, U.S. Treasury and Yankee Certificates of Deposit using evaluated pricing based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and or live data sources, active market makers and inter-dealer broker inputs incorporated into a model or matrix price |

| | |
| • | mortgage-related and other asset backed securities are valued based on evaluators analyzing features such as the pricing speed, spread and volatility in order to confirm the deal structure. Spreads and other information solicited from Wall Street buy and sell-side sources, including primary and secondary dealers, portfolio managers, and research analysts are used as model inputs. Using evaluated pricing based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and or live data sources, active market makers and inter-dealer broker inputs are incorporated into a model or matrix price (security characteristics including coupon rates and maturity dates are disclosed in the Statement of Investments). |
Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
| | |
| • | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Included are the following: |
| | |
| • | OTC securities using the Company’s own data/models |
|
| • | prices with significant haircuts applied |
|
| • | staled securities — fair valuation procedures are applied |
|
| • | securities that have broken tolerance outlined in the Board-approved securities valuation procedures |
|
| • | no current market quotations — fair valuation procedures are applied |
|
| • | unreliable prices — fair valuation procedures are applied |
Level 3 investments include positions with prices not derived from existing market data. As such, Level 3 assets typically involve the use of financial models, such as discounted cash flow analysis for investments in privately held companies, or other non-market based methods to determine an investment’s Fair Value. One may consider Level 3 investments as those that cannot be quickly liquidated for their stated market value.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
The levels associated with valuing the Funds’ investments for the period ended February 28, 2011 are disclosed in the Presentation of Portfolio Holdings following the Schedule of Investments.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Investment Income
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis. All premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized/accreted using the interest method.
Federal Income Taxes
Since the Investment Company is a Massachusetts business trust, each Fund is a separate corporate taxpayer and determines its net investment income and capital gains (or losses) and the amounts to be distributed to each Fund’s shareholders without regard to the income and capital gains (or losses) of the other funds.
It is each Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This required each Fund to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains. Therefore, the Funds paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required for the Funds.
Each Fund files a U.S. tax return. At February 28, 2011, the Funds had recorded no liabilities for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in future tax returns. While the statue of limitations

remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed August 31, 2007 through August 31, 2009, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
At August 31, 2010, the following Funds had net tax basis capital loss carryovers, which may be applied against any realized net taxable gains in each succeeding year or until their expiration dates, whichever occurs first:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

As of February 28, 2011, the Funds’ aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investment securities for federal income tax purposes are as follows:

Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | | $ | 1,346,209 | | | $ | 581,818 | | | $ | 5,441,307 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
The Funds declare and pay dividends monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are generally declared and paid annually. An additional distribution may be paid by the Funds to avoid imposition of federal income tax on any remaining undistributed net investment income and capital gains.
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for GAAP purposes. These differences relate primarily to investments in futures, options, losses deferred due to wash sales and straddles, and capital loss carryforwards. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting are reclassified to paid in capital. Accordingly, the Funds may periodically make reclassifications among certain of their capital accounts without impacting their net asset value.
Expenses
Most expenses can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses of the Investment Company which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are allocated among all funds of the Investment Company based principally on their relative average net assets.
The Bond Market Fund offers Class R Shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees. Shareholders of each class bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. Realized and unrealized gains (losses), net investment income, and expenses with the exception of class level expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
Forward Commitments/Mortgage Dollar Rolls
The Funds may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time (not to exceed 120 days) (i.e., a “forward commitment” or “delayed settlement” transaction, e.g., to be announced (“TBA”)) consistent with a Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. The Funds may enter into mortgage dollar rolls (principally in TBA’s) in which a fund sells a mortgage security and simultaneously contracts to repurchase a substantially similar mortgage security on a specified future date. A forward commitment transaction involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold by the fund increases or decreases below the repurchase price of those securities or the other party to the transaction fails to complete the transaction. The Funds record forward commitments on trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments for the securities purchased.

High Yield Securities
The Funds may invest in high yield instruments that are subject to certain credit and market risks. The yields of high yield instruments reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The Funds’ investments in securities rated below investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk related to timely and ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility and less liquid secondary market trading.
Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Funds invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage and asset backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market’s perception of credit quality on securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market price and periods of illiquidity that can negatively impact the valuation of certain issuers held by the Fund.
Credit Default Swaps
The High Yield Bond Fund may enter into credit default swaps. A credit default swap can refer to corporate issues, asset-backed securities or an index of assets, each known as the reference entity or underlying asset. The Fund may act as either the buyer or the seller of a credit default swap involving one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. Depending upon the terms of the contract, the credit default swap may be closed via physical settlement. However, due to the possible or potential instability in the market, there is a risk that the Fund may be unable to deliver the underlying debt security to the other party to the agreement. Additionally, the Fund may not receive the expected amount under the swap agreement if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes bankrupt. In an unhedged credit default swap, the Fund enters into a credit default swap without owning the underlying asset or debt issued by the reference entity. Credit default swaps allow the Fund to acquire or reduce credit exposure to a particular issuer, asset or basket of assets.
Credit default swaps could result in losses if the Fund does not correctly evaluate the creditworthiness of the company or companies on which the credit default swap is based. Credit default swap agreements may involve greater risks than if the fixed income funds had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to risks relating to the reference obligation, credit default swaps are subject to illiquidity and counterparty risk. A Fund will generally incur a greater degree of risk when it sells a credit default swap than when it purchases a credit default swap. As a buyer of a credit default swap, the Fund may lose its investment and recover nothing should a credit event fail to occur and the swap is held to its termination date. As seller of a credit default swap, if a credit event were to occur, the value of any deliverable obligation received by the Fund, coupled with the upfront or periodic payments previously received, may be less than what it pays to the buyer, resulting in a loss of value to Fund.
If the creditworthiness of a Fund’s swap counterparty declines, the risk that the counterparty may not perform could increase, potentially resulting in a loss to the Fund. To limit the counterparty risk involved in swap agreements, the Fund will only enter into swap agreements with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness. Although there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so, the Fund may be able to reduce or eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or another creditworthy party. The Fund may have limited ability to eliminate its exposure under a credit default swap if the credit of the reference entity or underlying asset has declined.
United States Treasury Inflation Indexed Bonds
Inflation indexed securities are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. Interest is accrued based on the principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase (decrease) in the principal amount of an inflation indexed security is recorded as interest income, even though the principal is not received until maturity.

Derivatives
To the extent permitted by the investment objective, restrictions and policies set forth in each Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Funds may participate in various derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are instruments or agreements whose value is derived from an underlying security or index. The Funds’ use of derivatives includes exchange-traded futures and options on futures. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Funds in meeting their investment objective.
The Funds typically use derivatives in three ways: cash equitization, hedging, and return enhancement. Cash equitization is a technique that may be used by a fund through the use of options and futures to earn “market-like” returns with the Funds’ excess and liquidity reserve cash balances. Hedging is used by a Fund to limit or control risks, such as adverse movements in exchange rates and interest rates. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in a Fund. By purchasing certain instruments, the Fund may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio characteristics that assist in meeting the Fund’s investment objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized, the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks are generally categorized as market risk, liquidity risk and counterparty, interest rate risk or credit risk.
The fair values of the Funds Derivative Instruments as shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure for the period ended February 28, 2011 were as follows:

Futures Contracts
The Funds are currently utilizing exchange-traded futures contracts. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by each Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market or inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with a broker an amount, termed the initial margin, which typically represents 5% of the purchase price indicated in the futures contract. Payments to and from the broker, known as the variation margin, are required to be made on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates. Changes in initial settlement value are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
Options
The Funds may purchase and sell (write) call and put options on securities and securities indices, provided such options are traded on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. The Funds may also purchase and sell call and put options on foreign currencies.
When a fund writes a covered call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by a fund is included in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. The fund receives a premium on the sale of a call option but gives up the opportunity to profit from any increase in stock value above the exercise price of the option, and when the fund writes a put option it is exposed to a decline in the price of the underlying security. If an option which the fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the fund realizes a gain (or loss, if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the fund has written is exercised, the fund realizes a capital gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. When a put option which a fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which a fund purchases upon exercise of the option. Realized gains (losses) on purchased options are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments.
The Funds’ use of written options involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Funds’ exposure to off balance sheet risk. The risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instrument and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates.
Guarantees
In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The Advisor manages the Funds pursuant to a written investment advisory agreement dated May 1, 2001, as amended, between the Investment Company and the Advisor. The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, a publicly held bank holding company. The Advisor and other advisory affiliates of State Street Corporation make up State Street Global Advisors, the investment management arm of State Street Corporation and its affiliated companies. The Advisor directs the investments of the Funds in accordance with their investment objectives, policies, and limitations.

| | | | |
Funds | | % |
Bond Market | | | 0.30 | |
Intermediate | | | 0.30 | |
High Yield Bond | | | 0.30 | |
If the total expenses of the Institutional Class are above its cap, the Advisor will waive its Advisory fee for both the Institutional and Class R in an equal amount to reduce the total expenses to the level of the cap in effect for the Institutional Class. If thereafter the total expenses for Class R remain above the total expense cap in effect for Class R, then State Street Global Markets, LLC (the “Distributor”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation will waive up to 0.70% of the average daily net assets of the distribution and service (12b-1) fee to further reduce the total expenses of Class R to the level of its cap. If after waiving the full 0.70% of the average daily net assets of Class R and Class R remains above the total expense cap, then the Advisor will reimburse Class R for all expenses to the level of the cap. If only Class R is above its respective expense cap, then the Distributor will waive up to 0.70% of its average daily net assets of Class R.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of the Bond Market Fund’s Institutional Class and Class R advisory fees and to reimburse the Institutional Class and Class R for all expenses in excess of 0.50% and 1.00%, respectively, of each class’ average daily net assets on an annual basis until December 31, 2011 (exclusive of non-recurring account fees, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees).

The Funds are permitted to invest their cash reserves (i.e., monies awaiting investment in portfolio securities suitable for the Funds’ objectives) in the SSgA Prime Money Market Fund (“Central Fund”) (a series of the Investment Company not presented herein). Shares of the Central Fund sold to and redeemed from any participating fund will not be subject to a redemption fee, distribution fee or service fee.

Institutional Class
The Investment Company maintains a distribution plan pursuant to Rule (12b-1) (the “Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under this Plan, the Investment Company is authorized to make payments to the Distributor, or any shareholder servicing agent, as defined in the Plan, for providing distribution and marketing services, for furnishing assistance to investors on an ongoing basis, and for the reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses charged by the Distributor in connection with the distribution and marketing of shares of the Investment Company and the servicing of investor accounts.
Each Fund has a shareholder service agreement with State Street and the following entities related to State Street: State Street Global Markets LLC (“Global Markets”), Fiduciary Investors Services Division of State Street (“Fiduciary Investors Services”) and High Net Worth Services Division of State Street (“High Net Worth Services”) (collectively, the “Agents”), as well as several unaffiliated services providers. For these services, each Institutional Class pays 0.025% to State Street, and a maximum of 0.175% to each of the Agents, based upon the average daily value of all Institutional Class shares held by or for customers of these Agents.
For the period ended February 28, 2011, each Institutional Class paid the following shareholder servicing expenses to the Agents:
| | | | | | | | |
| | State Street | | Global Markets |
Bond Market | | $ | 5,617 | | | $ | 256 | |
Intermediate | | | 4,845 | | | | 693 | |
High Yield Bond | | | 9,097 | | | | 203 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The Institutional Class did not incur any expenses from Fiduciary Investors Services or High Net Worth Services during the period.
The combined distribution and shareholder servicing payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the average daily value of net assets of each Institutional Class on an annual basis. The shareholder servicing payments shall not exceed 0.20% of the average daily value of net assets of the Institutional Class on an annual basis. Costs that exceed the maximum amount of allowable reimbursement may be carried forward for two years following the year in which the expenditure was incurred so long as the Plan is in effect. The class’ responsibility for any such expenses carried forward shall terminate at the end of two years following the year in which the expenditure was incurred. The Board or a majority of the class’ shareholders have the right, however, to terminate the Plan and all payments thereunder at any time. The Institutional Class will not be obligated to reimburse the Distributor for carryover expenses subsequent to the Plan’s termination or noncontinuance.
Class R
The Investment Company maintains a distribution plan with respect to the Class R Shares pursuant to Rule (12b-1) (the “R Plan”) under the 1940 Act. The R Plan allows a fund to pay fees for the sale and distribution of fund shares and for services provided to shareholders by the Distributor or other financial intermediaries. Payments to the Distributor for distribution, marketing, shareholder and administrative services provided to a fund by the Distributor or a financial intermediary are not permitted by the R Plan to exceed 0.70% of a class’ average daily net asset value on an annual basis. The Distributor pays financial intermediaries for shareholder and administrative services provided to a fund out of the fee the Distributor receives from the fund. Fees paid to the financial intermediaries providing these services are not permitted by the R Plan to exceed 0.65% of a class’ average daily net asset value on an annual basis. Any payments that are required to be made to the Distributor or financial intermediaries that cannot be made because of the limitations contained in the R Plan may be carried forward and paid in the following two fiscal years so long the R Plan is in effect.
Under the R Plan, the Funds have a distribution agreement with the Distributor. For these services, Class R pays Global Markets 0.05% of the daily net asset value. For the period ended February 28, 2011, the Bond Market Fund Class R paid $67.

6. | | Interfund Lending Program |
The Funds participate in a joint lending and borrowing facility. Portfolios of the Funds may borrow money from the SSgA Money Market Fund for temporary purposes. All such borrowing and lending will be subject to a participating fund’s fundamental investment limitations. The SSgA Money Market Fund will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements or short-term reserves. The Funds will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. A participating fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to the SSgA Money Market Fund could result in additional borrowing costs. For the period ended February 28, 2011, the Funds did not utilize the Interfund Lending Program.
Restricted securities are subject to contractual limitations on resale, are often issued in private placement transactions, and are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). The most common types of restricted securities are those sold under Rule 144A of the Act and commercial paper sold under Section 4(2) of the Act.
A Fund may invest a portion of its net assets not to exceed 15% in securities that are illiquid. Illiquid securities are securities that may not be readily marketable, and that cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which the Fund has valued the securities. Restricted securities are generally considered to be illiquid.
As of February 28, 2011, there were no restricted securities held by a fund that were illiquid.
Illiquid securities and restricted securities may be priced by the Funds using the Fair Value Procedures approved by the Board.
On March 1, 2011, the Funds declared the following dividends from net investment income payable on March 7, 2011 to shareholders of record March 2, 2011.

9. | | Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk |
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). The value of securities held by each Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by each Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these
Management has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since February 28, 2011, through the date the financial statements were issued, that would merit recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. During this review nothing was discovered which would require disclosure within the financial statements.

“SSgA” is a registered trademark of State Street Corporation and is licensed for use by the SSgA Funds.
This report is prepared from the books and records of the Funds and it is submitted for the general information of shareholders. This information is for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by a SSgA Funds Prospectus containing more complete information concerning the investment objectives and operations of the Funds, charges and expenses. The Prospectus should be read carefully before an investment is made.
Performance quoted represents past performance and past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. For the most recent month end performance information, visit www.ssgafunds.com. Investment in the Funds poses investment risks, including the possible loss of principal. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

2. | | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require the use of management estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Securities traded on a foreign national securities exchange or an over the counter market (foreign or domestic) are valued on the basis of the official closing price, or lacking the official closing price, at the last sale price on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. Securities traded on a domestic securities exchange, are valued at the last sale price or, lacking any sale, at the last reported bid price on the primary exchange in which the security is traded. In the absence of an official closing or last sale price, respectively, such securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service if those prices are believed to reflect the market value of such securities. Futures contracts are valued on the basis of settlement price established on the exchange on which they are traded. Index swap contracts are valued on the basis of the daily closing value of the underlying securities. Investments in other mutual funds are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
Short-term instruments purchased by the Funds and maturing within 60 days of the time of purchase are valued at “amortized cost” unless the Board determines that amortized cost does not represent fair value.
If market quotations are not readily available for a security or if subsequent events suggest that a market quotation is not reliable, the Funds will use the security’s fair value, as determined in accordance with Fair Value Procedures adopted by the Board. This generally means that equity securities and fixed income securities listed and traded principally on any national securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale price or, lacking any sales, at the closing bid price, on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. The Funds may use the fair value of a portfolio security to calculate their NAV when, for example: (1) market quotations are not readily available because a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed; (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the time as of which the Funds calculate their NAV; (3) where a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time of the market quotation provided for a portfolio security and the time as of which the Funds calculate their NAV; (4) a security’s price has remained unchanged over an extended period of time (often referred to as a “stale

price”), or (5) State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”), or Russell Fund Services Company, (the “Administrator”), determines that a market quotation is inaccurate.
The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board believes reflects fair value. A security valued on the basis of an evaluation of its fair value may be valued at a price higher or lower than available market quotations. A security’s valuation may differ depending on the method used and the factors considered in determining value pursuant to the Fair Value Procedures. There can be no assurance that the Funds’ NAV fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing when using the Fair Value Procedures to price the Funds’ securities. Events or circumstances affecting the values of fund securities that occur between the closing of the principal markets on which they trade and the time the NAV of fund shares is determined may be reflected in the Investment Company’s calculation of NAV for each applicable fund when the Investment Company deems that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such fund’s NAV.
Because foreign securities can trade on days on which the New York Stock Exchange is not open for regular trading, the NAV of a fund’s portfolio that includes foreign securities may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem fund shares.
Fair value of securities is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurement, the fair value hierarchy was established to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to establish classifications of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| | |
| • | Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments |
|
| • | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs including quoted market prices in non-active markets or prices derived from market data. Included are the following: |
| | |
| • | common stocks traded or quoted only on inactive markets |
|
| • | privately placed bonds whose values are derived from a similar bond that is publicly traded |
|
| • | interest rate swaps valued based on compilation of primarily observable swap curves incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | euro commercial paper valued at amortized cost which approximates market and is not priced daily or a broker quote in a non-active market with inputs incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | non registered mutual funds that are daily priced, but not publicly traded |
|
| • | currency forwards valued based on a compilation of primarily observable market currency spot rates incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | corporate bonds and notes, domestic commercial paper, time deposits, U.S. Government Agencies, U.S. Treasury and Yankee Certificates of Deposit using evaluated pricing based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and or live data sources, active market makers and inter-dealer broker inputs incorporated into a model or matrix price |

| | |
| • | mortgage-related and other asset backed securities are valued based on evaluators analyzing features such as the pricing speed, spread and volatility in order to confirm the deal structure. Spreads and other information solicited from Wall Street buy and sell-side sources, including primary and secondary dealers, portfolio managers, and research analysts are used as model inputs. Using evaluated pricing based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and or live data sources, active market makers and inter-dealer broker inputs are incorporated into a model or matrix price (security characteristics including coupon rates and maturity dates are disclosed in the Statement of Investments). |
Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
| | |
| • | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Included are the following: |
| | |
| • | OTC securities using the Company’s own data/models |
|
| • | prices with significant haircuts applied |
|
| • | staled securities — fair valuation procedures are applied |
|
| • | securities that have broken tolerance outlined in the Board-approved securities valuation procedures |
|
| • | no current market quotations — fair valuation procedures are applied |
|
| • | unreliable prices — fair valuation procedures are applied |
Level 3 investments include positions with prices not derived from existing market data. As such, Level 3 assets typically involve the use of financial models, such as discounted cash flow analysis for investments in privately held companies, or other non-market based methods to determine an investment’s Fair Value. One may consider Level 3 investments as those that cannot be quickly liquidated for their stated market value.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
The levels associated with valuing the Funds’ investments for the period ended February 28, 2011 are disclosed in the Presentation of Portfolio Holdings following the Schedule of Investments.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Investment Income
Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon thereafter as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividend interest and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Federal Income Taxes
Since the Investment Company is a Massachusetts business trust, each Fund is a separate corporate taxpayer and determines its net investment income and capital gains (losses) and the amounts to be distributed to each Fund’s shareholders without regard to the income and capital gains (losses) of the other Funds.

It is each Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This requires each Fund to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains. Therefore, the Funds paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required for the Funds.
Each Fund files a U.S. tax return. At February 28, 2011, the Funds had recorded no liabilities for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in future tax returns. While the statue of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed August 31, 2007 through August 31, 2009, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
At August 31, 2010 the following Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryover, which may be applied against any realized net taxable gains in each succeeding year or until their expiration dates, whichever occurs first:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

International Stock Selection | | | 274,339,098 | | | | 428,387,874 | | | | 702,726,972 | |
As of February 28, 2011, the Funds aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investment securities for federal income tax purposes are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Emerging
| | International

| | | | | | | | |
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | | $ | 887,918,550 | | | $ | 214,374,136 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Income dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds declare and pay dividends annually. Capital gain distributions, if any, are generally declared and paid annually. An additional distribution may be paid by the Funds to avoid imposition of federal income tax on any remaining undistributed net investment income and capital gains.
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for GAAP purposes. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting are reclassified to paid-in-capital. The differences between federal tax regulations and GAAP are primarily due to investments in swaps, futures, forward contracts, passive foreign investment companies, foreign denominated investments, and certain securities sold at a loss.
Expenses
Most expenses can be directly attributed to a Fund. Expenses of the Investment Company which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are allocated among all Funds of the Investment Company based principally on their relative average net assets.
The Emerging Markets Fund offers Select Class shares and the International Stock Selection Fund offers Class R shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees. Shareholders of each class bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. Realized and unrealized gains (losses), net investment income, and expenses with the exception of class level expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.

Foreign Currency Translations
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in US dollars. Foreign currency amounts and transactions of the Funds are translated into US dollars on the following basis:
| | |
| (a) | Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at the closing rate of exchange on the valuation date. |
|
| (b) | Purchases and sales of investment securities and income at the closing rate of exchange prevailing on the respective trade dates of such transactions. |
Reported net realized gains or losses from foreign currency-related transactions arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities; sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the US dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized gains (losses) from foreign currency-related transactions arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations of a Fund that arises as a result of changes in exchange rates from that portion that arises from changes in market prices of investments during the period. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes the Funds do isolate the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices for realized gain (or loss) on debt obligations.
Capital Gains Taxes
The Emerging Markets Fund may be subject to capital gains and repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries in which it invests. This Fund has recorded a deferred tax liability in respect of unrealized appreciation on foreign securities for potential capital gains and repatriation taxes at February 28, 2011. The accrual for capital gains and repatriation taxes is included in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the Fund. The amounts related to capital gain taxes are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations for the Fund.

Emerging Markets | | $ | 3,691,077 | | | $ | 413,000 | |
Derivatives
To the extent permitted by the investment objective, restrictions and policies set forth in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Funds may participate in various derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are instruments or agreements whose value is derived from an underlying security or index. The Funds’ use of derivatives includes exchange-traded futures and options on futures. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Funds in meeting their investment objective.
The Funds typically use derivatives in three ways: cash equitization, hedging, and return enhancement. Cash equitization is a technique that may be used by the Funds through the use of options and futures to earn “market-like” returns with the Funds’ excess and liquidity reserve cash balances. Hedging is used by the Funds to limit or control risks, such as adverse movements in exchange rates and interest rates. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in the Funds. By purchasing certain instruments, the Funds may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio characteristics that assist in meeting the Funds’ investment objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized, the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks are generally categorized as market risk, liquidity risk and counterparty or credit risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
In connection with portfolio purchases and sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency, the Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange spot contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“contracts”). Additionally, from time to time the Funds may enter into contracts to hedge certain foreign currency-denominated assets. Contracts are recorded at market value. Certain risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the contracts, if any, that are recognized in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains (losses) arising from such transactions are included in net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency-related transactions. Open forward currency exchange contracts at February 28, 2011 are presented in the accompanying Schedules of Investments.
Futures Contracts
The Funds are currently utilizing exchange-traded futures contracts. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Funds and the prices of
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | 31 |
SSgA
International Equity Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market or inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with a broker an amount, termed the initial margin, which typically represents 5% of the purchase price indicated in the futures contract. Payments to and from the broker, known as the variation margin, are required to be made on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates. Changes in initial settlement value are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized. As of February 28, 2011, the Emerging Markets Fund and International Stock Selection Fund had no cash collateral balances held in connection with futures contracts purchased (sold).
Index Swaps
The Emerging Markets Fund has entered into index swap agreements in order to efficiently participate in certain foreign markets. Pursuant to these agreements, the Fund pays the swap counterparties based on the notional amount an agreed upon rate (e.g., the 12-month USD LIBOR BBA rate). During the terms of the agreements, changes in the underlying values of the swaps are recorded as unrealized gain (loss) and are based on changes in the value of the underlying index or security. The underlying index or security is valued at the published daily closing price. Accrued interest expense to be paid to the swap counterparties or accrued interest income to be paid to the Fund, at the agreed upon dates, are recognized as unrealized gain (loss). Amounts paid to and received from the swap counterparties representing capital appreciation (depreciation) on the underlying securities and accrued interest expense and interest income are recorded as net realized gain (loss). The Fund is exposed to credit and counterparty risk in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparties. The Fund minimizes this risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“the Advisor”) deems creditworthy. This risk is also mitigated by investing the portfolio in assets generating cash flows complimentary to the returns it is required to pay. The Fund has segregated certain short-term investments (identified in the accompanying Schedule of Investments) as collateral for the notional amount under the index swap agreements. As of February 28, 2011, the Emerging Markets Fund had a cash collateral balance in the amount of $2,460,000 in connection with swap contracts purchased (sold).
Participation Notes
The Emerging Markets Fund may purchase participation notes, also known as participation certificates or participation interest notes. Participation notes are issued by banks or broker-dealers that are designed to replicate the performance of foreign companies or foreign securities markets and can be used by the Fund as an alternative means to access the securities market of a frontier emerging market country. The performance results of participation notes will not replicate exactly the performance of the foreign companies or foreign securities markets that they seek to replicate due to transaction and other expenses. Investments in participation notes involve certain risks in addition to those associated with a direct investment in the underlying foreign companies or foreign securities markets whose return they seek to replicate. There can be no assurance that there will be a trading market or that the trading price of a participation note will equal the underlying value of the foreign company or foreign securities market that it seeks to replicate. The Fund relies on the creditworthiness of the counterparty issuing the participation note and has no rights against the issuer of the underlying security. The Fund minimizes this risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that the Advisor deems creditworthy. Due to liquidity and transfer restrictions, the secondary markets on which the participation notes are traded may be less liquid than the markets for other securities, or may be completely illiquid.
Fund Concentration
The investments by the Funds in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities may be denominated in foreign currencies and may require settlement in foreign currencies and pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Fund. Foreign investments may also subject the Fund to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments. In addition to the risks described above, risks may arise from forward foreign currency contracts with respect to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Investment in Emerging Markets
Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation, restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls, delayed settlements, and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the United States.
Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Securities Lending
The Investment Company participates in a securities lending program whereby each Fund can loan securities with a value up to 331/3% of its total assets. Each Fund receives cash (U.S. currency), U.S. Government, U.S. Government agency obligations or foreign government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. To the extent that a loan is secured by cash collateral, such collateral must be invested by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street,” the lending agent and an affiliate of the Advisor) in short-term instruments, money market mutual funds, and such other short-term investments, provided the investments meet certain quality and diversification requirements. Under the securities lending arrangement, the collateral received is recorded on a lending Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral. At period end, all such cash collateral was invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Prime Lending Portfolio, a money market fund affiliated with the Advisor.
Income generated from the investment of cash collateral, less negotiated rebate fees paid to participating brokers and transaction costs, is divided between the Fund and State Street and is recorded as securities lending income for the Funds. To the extent that a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, brokers pay the Fund negotiated lenders’ fees, which are divided between the Fund and State Street and are recorded as security lending income for the Fund. All collateral received will be in an amount at least equal to 102% (for loans of U.S. securities) or 105% (for non-U.S. securities) of the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds the next day. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, there is a risk of delay in recovery or loss of rights in the securities loaned or loss of rights in the collateral. Consequently, loans are made only to borrowers which are deemed to be of good financial standing.
As of February 28, 2011, the non-cash collateral received for the securities on loan was as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | Non-Cash
| | |
| | Collateral Value | | Non-Cash Collateral Holding |
Emerging Markets | | $ | 56,147,174 | | | Pool of US Government and European Government Bonds |
International Stock Selection | | | 22,939,120 | | | Pool of US Government and European Government Bonds |
The Funds cannot repledge or sell non-cash collateral balances.

Advisor and Affiliates
The Advisor manages the Funds pursuant to a written Investment Advisory Agreement dated May 1, 2001, as amended, between the Investment Company and the Advisor. The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, a publicly held bank holding company. The Advisor and other advisory affiliates of State Street make up State Street Global Advisors, the investment management arm of State Street and its affiliated companies. The Advisor directs the investments of the Funds in accordance with their investment objectives, policies, and limitations. For these services, the Funds pay a fee to the Advisor, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.75% of their average daily net assets.
If the total expenses of the Institutional Class are above its cap, the Advisor will waive its advisory fee for both Institutional and Class R in an equal amount to reduce the total expenses to the level of the cap in effect for the Institutional Class. If thereafter the total expenses for Class R remain above the total expense cap in effect for Class R, then State Street Global Markets, LLC (the “Distributor”) which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, will waive up to 0.70% of the average daily net assets of the Distribution (12b-1) and Service Fee to further reduce the total expenses of Class R to the level of its cap. If after waiving the full 0.70% of the average daily net assets of Class R and Class R remains above the total expense cap, then the Advisor will reimburse Class R for all expenses to the level of the cap. If only Class R is above its respective expense cap, then the Distributor will waive up to 0.70% of the average daily net assets of Distribution (12b-1) and service fees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of the Emerging Markets Fund’s advisory fees and to reimburse the Institutional Class for all expenses in excess of 1.25% of average daily net assets on an annual basis until December 31, 2011 (exclusive of non-recurring account fees, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees). There were no waivers or reimbursements for the Institutional Class or Select Class for the period ended February 28, 2011.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of the International Stock Selection Fund’s advisory fees and to reimburse the Institutional Class and Class R for all expenses in excess of 1.00% and 1.60%, respectively, of each class’ average daily net assets on an annual basis until December 31, 2011 (exclusive of non-recurring account fees, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees). The total amount of the waiver for the period ended February 28, 2011 was $935,886 for the Institutional Class and $2,124 for Class R. There were no reimbursements for the Institutional Class or Class R for the period ended February 28, 2011.
The Advisor does not have the ability to recover amounts waived or reimbursed from prior periods.
The Investment Company also has a contract with State Street to provide custody and fund accounting services to the Funds. For these services, the Funds pay State Street asset-based fees that vary according to the number of positions and transactions plus out-of-pocket expenses.
The Funds are permitted to invest their cash reserves (i.e., monies awaiting investment in portfolio securities suitable for the Funds’ objectives) in the SSgA Prime Money Market Fund (“Central Fund”) (a series of the Investment Company not presented herein). Shares of the Central Fund sold to and redeemed from any participating fund will not be subject to a distribution fee or service fee. If Central Fund shares sold to or redeemed from a participating fund are subject to any such distribution or service fee, the Advisor will waive its advisory fee for each participating fund in an amount that offsets the amount of such distribution and/or service fees incurred by the participating fund. As of February 28, 2011, $200 of the Central Fund’s net assets represents investments by these Funds, and $12,406,991 represents the investments of other Investment Company Funds not presented herein.
Effective September 1, 2006, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the Funds’ advisory fee equal to the advisory fee paid by the Funds to the Central Fund. In addition, if Central Fund shares sold to and/or redeemed from a participating fund are subject under a 12b-1 Plan to any distribution fee or service fee, the Advisor will waive its advisory fee for

The annual fee is based on the following percentages of the average daily net assets of the Funds: $0 up to $1 billion — 0.07%; over $1 billion — 0.05%. In addition, the Administrator charges a flat fee of $30,000 per year per Fund of the Investment Company with less than $500 million in assets under management. In addition, the Funds reimburse the Administrator for out-of-pocket expenses.

unaffiliated services providers. For these services, each Institutional Class pays 0.025% to State Street, and a maximum of 0.175% to each of the other named affiliated Agents, based upon the average daily value of all Institutional Class shares held by or for customers of these Agents. For the period ended February 28, 2011, each Institutional Class paid the following shareholder servicing expenses to the Agents:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | Global

International Stock Selection | | | 126,399 | | | | 368 | |
Each institutional class did not incur any expenses from Fiduciary Investors Services and High Net Worth Services during the period.
The combined distribution and shareholder servicing payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the average daily value of net assets of the Institutional Class on an annual basis. The shareholder servicing payments shall not exceed 0.20% of the average daily value of net assets of each Institutional Class on an annual basis. Costs that exceed the maximum amount of allowable reimbursement may be carried forward for two years following the year in which the expenditure was incurred so long as the Plan is in effect. The class’ responsibility for any such expenses carried forward shall terminate at the end of two years following the year in which the expenditure was incurred. The Board or a majority of the class’ shareholders have the right, however, to terminate the plan and all payments thereunder at any time. The Institutional Class will not be obligated to reimburse the Distributor for carryover expenses subsequent to the plan’s termination or noncontinuance. There were no carryover expenses as of February 28, 2011.
Class R
The Investment Company maintains a distribution plan with respect to the Class R shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “R Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under the R Plan, each Fund pays the Distributor a fee not to exceed 0.70% of the fund’s average net value per year, for distribution, shareholder and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Distributor and financial intermediaries. The Distributor pays the financial intermediaries for shareholder and administrative services provided to a Fund out of the fee the Distributor receives from the Fund. Fees paid to the financial intermediaries providing shareholder and administrative services to a Fund are not permitted by the R Plan to exceed 0.65% of the Fund’s average net asset value per year. Any payments that are required to be made to the Distributor or financial intermediaries that cannot be made because of the limitations contained in the R Plan may be carried forward and paid in the following two fiscal years so long as the R Plan is in effect.
Under the R Plan, the Funds have a distribution agreement with the Distributor. For these services, Class R pays the Distributor 0.05% of the daily net asset value. For the period ended February 28, 2011, this amounted to $574 for the International Stock Selection Fund.

Payments to State Street for shareholder and administrative services are not permitted by the Select Plan to exceed 0.025% of each Fund’s average net asset value per year. Any payments that are required to be made to State Street that cannot be made because of the limitations contained in the Select Plan may be carried forward and paid in the following two fiscal years so long as the Select Plan is in effect.

6. | | Interfund Lending Program |
The Funds participate in a joint lending and borrowing facility. Portfolios of the funds may borrow money from the SSgA Money Market Fund for temporary purposes. All such borrowing and lending will be subject to a participating fund’s fundamental investment limitations. The SSgA Money Market Fund will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements or short-term reserves. The Funds will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. A participating fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to the SSgA Money Market Fund could result in additional borrowing costs. For the period ended February 28, 2011, Miscellaneous expenses on the Statements of Operations for the Emerging Markets and International Stock Selection Funds include $9,100 and $8,448, respectively, paid under the Interfund Lending Program for the period ended February 28, 2011.
Restricted securities are subject to contractual limitations on resale, are often issued in private placement transactions, and are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). The most common types of restricted securities are those sold under Rule 144A of the Act and commercial paper sold under Section 4(2) of the Act.

A Fund may invest a portion of its net assets not to exceed 15% in securities that are illiquid. Illiquid securities are securities that may not be readily marketable, and that cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which the Fund has valued the securities. Restricted securities are generally considered to be illiquid.
For the period ended February 28, 2011, there were no restricted securities held by a Fund that were illiquid.
Illiquid securities and restricted securities may be priced by the Funds using the Fair Value Procedures approved by the Board.
| | |
8. | | Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk |
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). The value of securities held by each Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by each Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their value as recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Management has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since February 28, 2011, through the date the financial statements were issued, that would merit recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. During this review nothing was discovered which would require further disclosure within the Financial Statements.

This report is prepared from the books and records of the Funds and it is submitted for the general information of shareholders. This information is for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by a SSgA Funds Prospectus containing more complete information concerning the investment objectives and operations of the Funds, charges and expenses. The Prospectus should be read carefully before an investment is made.
Performance quoted represents past performance and past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. For the most recent month end performance information, visit www.ssgafunds.com. Investment in the Funds poses investment risks, including the possible loss of principal. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Includes amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the investment advisor. Without the waiver and/or reimbursement, expenses would have been higher. |

SSgA
S&P 500 Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
The SSgA Funds (the “Investment Company”) is a series mutual fund, comprised of 20 investment portfolios that were in operation as of February 28, 2011. This Financial Statement reports on the SSgA S&P 500 Index Fund (the “Fund”). The Investment Company is an open-end management investment company, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Investment Company was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 3, 1987 and operates under a First Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement, dated October 13, 1993, as amended (the “Agreement”). The Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest at $.001 par value.
The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in the State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”). The Fund has the same investment objective as the Master Portfolio in which it invests. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Master Portfolio reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Master Portfolio (approximately 65.21% at February 28, 2011). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Master Portfolio. The financial statements of the Master Portfolio, including the Portfolio of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.
| | |
2. | | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require the use of management estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments in the Master Portfolio at fair value. Valuation of securities held by the Master Portfolio is discussed in Note 2 of the Master Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
Fair value of securities is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurement, the fair value hierarchy was established to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to establish classifications of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| | |
| • | Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments |
|
| • | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs including quoted market prices in non-active markets or prices derived from market data. Included are the following: |
| | |
| • | common stocks traded or quoted only on inactive markets |
|
| • | privately placed bonds whose values are derived from a similar bond that is publicly traded |
|
| • | interest rate swaps valued based on compilation of primarily observable swap curves incorporated into a model or matrix price |
| | |

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
| | |
| • | euro commercial paper valued at amortized cost which approximates market and is not priced daily or a broker quote in a non-active market with inputs incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | non registered mutual funds that are daily priced, but not publicly traded |
|
| • | currency forwards valued based on a compilation of primarily observable market currency spot rates incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | corporate bonds and notes, domestic commercial paper, time deposits, U.S. Government Agencies, U.S. Treasury and Yankee Certificates of Deposit using evaluated pricing based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and or live data sources, active market makers and inter-dealer broker inputs incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | mortgage-related and other asset backed securities are valued based on evaluators analyzing features such as the pricing speed, spread and volatility in order to confirm the deal structure. Spreads and other information solicited from Wall Street buy and sell-side sources, including primary and secondary dealers, portfolio managers, and research analysts are used as model inputs. Using evaluated pricing based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and or live data sources, active market makers and inter-dealer broker inputs are incorporated into a model or matrix price (security characteristics including coupon rates and maturity dates are disclosed in the Statement of Investments). |
Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
| | |
| • | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Included are the following: |
| | |
| • | OTC securities using the Company’s own data/models |
|
| • | prices with significant haircuts applied |
|
| • | staled securities — fair valuation procedures are applied |
|
| • | securities that have broken tolerance outlined in the Board-approved securities valuation procedures |
|
| • | no current market quotations — fair valuation procedures are applied |
|
| • | unreliable prices — fair valuation procedures are applied |
Level 3 investments include positions with prices not derived from existing market data. As such, Level 3 assets typically involve the use of financial models, such as discounted cash flow analysis for investments in privately held companies, or other non-market based methods to determine an investment’s Fair Value. One may consider Level 3 investments as those that cannot be quickly liquidated for their stated market value.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
The level associated with valuing the Fund’s investments for the period ended February 28, 2011, was level one for the Fund.
Investment Income
The Fund records daily its proportionate share of the Master Portfolio’s income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses.
Other
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

Federal Income Taxes
Since the Investment Company is a Massachusetts business trust, the Fund is a separate corporate taxpayer and determines its net investment income and capital gains (or losses) and the amounts to be distributed to the Fund’s shareholders without regard to the income and capital gains (or losses) of the other funds of the Investment Company.
It is the Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This requires the Fund to distribute all of its taxable income. Therefore, the Fund paid no federal income taxes and the Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.
Capital Loss Carryovers
At August 31, 2010, the Fund had the following net tax basis capital loss carryovers, which may be applied against any realized net taxable gains in each succeeding year or until their expiration dates, whichever occurs first:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Expiration Year |
| | 8/31/2011 | | 8/31/2012 | | 8/31/2013 | | 8/31/2014 | | 8/31/2015 | | Total |
S&P 500 Index | | $ | 61,496,969 | | | $ | 20,170,152 | | | $ | 9,160,101 | | | $ | 10,082,013 | | | $ | 4,992,179 | | | $ | 105,901,414 | |
Each Fund files a U.S. tax return. At February 28, 2011, the Fund had recorded no liabilities for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions it had taken or expects to take in future tax returns. While the statue of limitations remains open to examine the Fund’s U.S. tax returns filed August 31, 2007 through August 31, 2009, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Income dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and pays dividends quarterly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are generally declared and paid annually. An additional distribution may be paid by the Fund to avoid imposition of federal income tax on any remaining undistributed net investment income and capital gains.
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for GAAP purposes. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting are reclassified to paid-in capital.
Expenses
Expenses allocated from the Master Portfolio are recorded and identified separately in the Statement of Operations. The Fund also pays certain other expenses which can be directly attributed to the Fund. Expenses of the Investment Company which cannot be directly attributed will be allocated among all funds of the Investment Company based principally on their relative net assets.
Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

4. | | Related Party Transactions, Fees and Expenses |
Advisor and Affiliates
The Fund is allocated a charge for a management fee from the Master Portfolio, calculated daily at an annual rate of 0.045% of average daily net assets. This fee relates to the advisory, custody and administrative fees provided by the Master Portfolio on behalf of their investors. SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) manages the Fund pursuant to a written Investment Advisory Agreement dated May 1, 2001, as amended, between the Investment Company and the Advisor. The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, a publicly held bank holding company. The Advisor and other advisory affiliates of State Street Corporation make up State Street Global Advisors, which directs the investments of the Fund in accordance with their investment objectives, policies, and limitations.
The Advisor has agreed to waive up to the full amount of the Fund’s advisory fee and reimburse the Fund for all fund and allocated Master Portfolio expenses that exceed 0.18% of its average daily net assets on an annual basis until December 31, 2011 (exclusive of non-recurring account fees, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees). The total amount of the reimbursement for the period ended February 28, 2011 was $64,639.
The Advisor does not have the ability to recover amounts waived or reimbursed from previous periods.
The Investment Company also has a contract with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) to provide custody and fund accounting services to the Fund. For these services, the Fund pays State Street asset-based fees that vary according to the number of positions and transactions plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Boston Financial Data Services (“BFDS”), a joint venture of DST Systems, Inc., and of State Street Corporation, serves as transfer, dividend paying, and shareholder servicing agent to the Fund. For these services, the Fund pays annual account services fees, activity based fees, charges related to compliance and regulatory services and a minimum fee of $200.
Administrator
Russell Fund Services Company (“RFSC” or the “Administrator”) serves as the Investment Company’s Administrator, pursuant to an Administration Agreement dated January 1, 2008 (the “Administration Agreement”). Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator supervises certain administrative aspects of the Investment Company’s operations. The Investment Company pays the Administrator an annual fee, payable monthly on a pro rata basis. RFSC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Russell Investment Management Company (“RIMCo”). The Fund pays the Administrator an annual fee, payable monthly on a pro rata basis. The annual fee is based on the following percentages of the average daily net assets of the Fund: $0 to $1 billion — 0.0315%; over $1 billion — 0.01%. In addition, the Administrator charges a flat fee of $30,000 per year per fund on each fund of the Investment Company with less than $500 million in assets under management. In addition, the Fund reimburses the Administrator for out-of-pocket expenses.
Distributor and Shareholder Servicing
The Investment Company has a distribution agreement dated March 1, 2002, as amended, between the Investment Company and State Street Global Markets, LLC (the “Distributor”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, to promote and offer shares of the Investment Company. The Distributor may enter into sub-distribution agreements with other related and non-related parties. The amounts paid to the Distributor are included in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
The Investment Company maintains a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under this Plan, the Investment Company is authorized to make payments to the Distributor, or any shareholder servicing agent, as defined in the Plan, for providing distribution and marketing services, for furnishing assistance to investors on an ongoing basis, and for the reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses charged by the Distributor in connection with the distribution and marketing of shares of the Investment Company and the servicing of investor accounts.
The Fund has shareholder service agreements with State Street and the following entities related to State Street: State Street Global Markets LLC (“Global Markets”), Fiduciary Investors Services Division of State Street (“Fiduciary Investors Services”) and High Net Worth Services Division of State Street (“High Net Worth Services”) (collectively, the “Agents”), as well as several

unaffiliated services providers. For these services, the Fund pays 0.025% to State Street, and a fee to each of the Agents, based upon the average daily value of all Fund shares held by or for customers of these Agents subject to the maximum of 0.100%.
For the period ended February 28, 2011, the Fund paid the following shareholder servicing expenses to the Agents:
The Fund did not make any payments to Global Markets, Fiduciary Investors Services or High Net Worth Services during the period.
Total shareholder servicing payments shall not exceed 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Fund on an annual basis. The combined distribution and shareholder servicing payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the average daily value of net assets of the Fund on an annual basis. Costs that exceed the maximum amount of allowable reimbursement may be carried forward for two years following the year in which the expenditure was incurred so long as the Plan is in effect. The Fund’s responsibility for any such expenses carried forward shall terminate at the end of two years following the year in which the expenditure was incurred. The Board or a majority of the Fund’s shareholders have the right, however, to terminate the Plan and all payments thereunder at any time. The Fund will not be obligated to reimburse the Distributor for carryover expenses subsequent to the Plan’s termination or noncontinuance.

6. | | Interfund Lending Program |
The Fund participates in a joint lending and borrowing facility (the ���Credit Facility”). Portfolios of the Fund may borrow money from the SSgA Money Market Fund for temporary purposes. All such borrowing and lending will be subject to a participating fund’s fundamental investment limitations. The SSgA Money Market Fund will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements or short-term reserves. The Fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. A participating fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to the SSgA Money Market Fund could result in additional borrowing costs. For the period ended February 28, 2011, the Fund did not utilize the Interfund Lending Program.
On March 1, 2011, the Fund declared the following dividend from net investment income payable on March 7, 2011 to shareholders of record March 2, 2011.

8. | | Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk |
In the normal course of business, the Fund invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). The value of securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their value as recorded in the Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Management has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since February 28, 2011, through the date the financial statements were issued, that would merit recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. During this review nothing was discovered which would require further disclosure within the Financial Statements.

† Security valuation: The Portfolio’s investments are valued each business day by independent pricing services. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Investments in other mutual funds are valued at the net asset value per share. Fixed-income securities and options are valued on the basis of the closing bid price. Futures contracts are valued on the basis of the last sale price. Money market instruments maturing within 60 days of the valuation date are valued at amortized cost, a method by which each money market instrument is initially valued at cost, and thereafter a constant accretion or amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the security. The Portfolio may value securities for which market quotations are not readily available at “fair value,” as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees.

The Portfolio adopted provisions surrounding Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This applies to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is intended to increase consistency of those measurements and applies broadly to securities and other types of assets and liabilities. In accordance with these provisions, fair value is defined as the price that the portfolio would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments.
The three tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
| | |
| • | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
| • | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of February 28, 2011, in valuing the Portfolio’s assets carried at fair value (amounts in thousands):

The type of inputs used to value each security under the provisions surrounding Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures is identified in the Portfolio of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Portfolio’s investments by category.
The Portfolio adopted updated provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures effective March 31, 2010. This update applies to the Portfolio’s disclosures about transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers as well as to disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for investments that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
As of the period ended February 28, 2011, there were no securities transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 and no securities transferred from Level 2 to Level 1.
Derivatives
Futures: The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts as part of its strategy to track the performance of the S&P 500® Index. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the broker cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Variation margin payments are made or received by the Portfolio each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security or index, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio, which is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed. The Portfolio voluntarily segregates securities in an amount equal to the outstanding value of the open futures contracts in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission requirements.
The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation between the change in market

The Portfolio adopted provisions surrounding Derivatives and Hedging which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.
To the extent permitted by the investment objective, restrictions and policies set forth in the Portfolio’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Portfolio may participate in various derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are instruments or agreements whose value is derived from an underlying security or index. The Portfolio’s use of derivatives includes futures. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Portfolio in meeting its investment objective. The Portfolio typically uses derivatives in two ways: cash equitization and return enhancement. Cash equitization is a technique that may be used by the Portfolio through the use of options and futures to earn “market-like” returns with the Portfolio’s excess and liquidity reserve cash balances and receivables. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in the Portfolio. By purchasing certain instruments, the Portfolio may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio characteristics that assist in meeting the Portfolio’s investment objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized, the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks are generally categorized as market risk, liquidity risk and counterparty or credit risk.
The following table, grouped into appropriate risk categories, discloses the amounts related to the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and hedging activities for the period ended February 28, 2011:

State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial StatementsDecember 31, 2010
1. Organization
State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company, and was organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on July 27, 1999. The Trust comprises eleven investment portfolios: the State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio, the State Street Equity 400 Index Portfolio, the State Street Equity 2000 Index Portfolio, the State Street Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio, the State Street Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Short-Term Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio, the State Street Limited Duration Bond Portfolio, the State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio and the State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”).
At December 31, 2010, the following Portfolios were in operation: the Portfolio, the State Street Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Short-Term Tax Free Bond Portfolio, the State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio and the State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio. The Portfolio is authorized to issue an unlimited number of non-transferable beneficial interests.
The Portfolio’s investment objective is to replicate, as closely as possible, before expenses, the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500® Index”). The Portfolio uses a passive management strategy designed to track the performance of the S&P 500® Index. The S&P 500® Index is a well-known, unmanaged, stock index that includes common stocks of 500 companies from several industrial sectors representing a significant portion of the market value of all stocks publicly traded in the United States. There is no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its objective.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation – The Portfolio’s investments are valued each business day by independent pricing services. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Investments in other mutual funds are valued at the net asset value per share. Fixed-income securities and options are valued on the basis of the closing bid price. Futures contracts are valued on the basis of the last sale price. Money market instruments maturing within 60 days of the valuation date are valued at amortized cost, a method by which each money market instrument is initially valued at cost, and thereafter a constant accretion or amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the security. The Portfolio may value securities for which market quotations are not readily available at “fair value,” as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees.
The Portfolio adopted provisions surrounding Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This applies to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is intended to increase consistency of those measurements and applies broadly to securities and other types of assets and liabilities. In accordance with these provisions, fair value is defined as the price that the portfolio would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments.
The three tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
| | |
| • | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
|
| • | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
|
| • | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The type of inputs used to value each security under the provisions surrounding Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures is identified in the Portfolio of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Portfolio’s investments by category.
The Portfolio adopted updated provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures effective March 31, 2010. This update applies to the Portfolio’s disclosures about transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers as well as to disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for investments that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
As of the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no securities transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 and no securities transferred from Level 2 to Level 1.
Securities transactions, investment income and expenses – Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis for financial statement purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on investments. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Expenses are accrued daily based on average daily net assets.
All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata among the partners in the Portfolio based on each partner’s daily ownership percentage.
Federal income taxes: The Portfolio is not required to pay federal income taxes on its net investment income and net capital gains because it is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. All interest, dividends, gains and losses of the Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the Portfolio’s partners in proportion to their holdings in the Portfolio, regardless of whether such items have been distributed by the Portfolio. Each partner is responsible for tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
The Portfolio has reviewed the tax positions for open years as of and during the year ended December 31, 2010, and determined it did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses. The Portfolio recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of December 31, 2010, tax years 2007 through 2010 remain subject to examination by the Portfolio’s major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
At December 31, 2010, the book cost of investments was $1,268,075,887 which approximates cost computed on a federal tax basis. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation was $791,849,304 and $69,056,837 respectively, resulting in net appreciation of $722,792,467 for all securities as computed on a federal income tax basis.
Futures: The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts as part of its strategy to track the performance of the S&P 500® Index. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the broker cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Variation margin payments are made or received by the Portfolio each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security or index, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio, which is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed, which is recorded on the Statement of Operations. The Portfolio voluntarily segregates securities in an amount equal to the outstanding value of the open futures contracts in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission requirements.
The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio adopted provisions surrounding Derivatives and Hedging which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.
State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)December 31, 2010
To the extent permitted by the investment objective, restrictions and policies set forth in the Portfolio’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Portfolio may participate in various derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are instruments or agreements whose value is derived from an underlying security or index. The Portfolio’s use of derivatives includes futures. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Portfolio in meeting its investment objective. The Portfolio typically uses derivatives in two ways: cash equitization and return enhancement. Cash equitization is a technique that may be used by the Portfolio through the use of options and futures to earn “market-like” returns with the Portfolio’s excess and liquidity reserve cash balances and receivables. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in the Portfolio. By purchasing certain instruments, the Portfolio may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio characteristics that assist in meeting the Portfolio’s investment objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized, the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks are generally categorized as market risk, liquidity risk and counterparty or credit risk.
The following table, grouped into appropriate risk categories, discloses the amounts related to the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and hedging activities at December 31, 2010:

The average notional of futures outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2010, was $51,379,065.
Use of estimates: The Portfolio’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Securities Transactions
For the year ended December 31, 2010, purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, futures contracts, and contributions in-kind and fair value of withdrawals, aggregated to $217,471,983 and $339,764,058 respectively.
4. Related Party Fees and Transactions
The Portfolio has entered into an investment advisory agreement with SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSgA FM” or the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which SSgA FM directs the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with its investment objective, policies, and limitations. The Trust has contracted with State Street to provide custody, administration and transfer agent services to the Portfolio. In compensation for SSgA FM’s services as investment adviser and for State Street’s services as administrator, custodian and transfer agent (and for assuming ordinary operating expenses of the Portfolio, including ordinary legal, audit and trustees expense), State Street receives a unitary fee, calculated daily, at the annual rate of 0.045% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Certain investments made by the Portfolio were made in securities affiliated with State Street and SSgA FM. Investments in State Street Corporation, the holding company of State Street, were made according to its representative portion of the S&P 500® Index. The market value of this investment at December 31, 2010 is listed in the Portfolio of Investments.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)December 31, 2010
5. Trustees’ Fees
Pursuant to certain agreements with State Street and its affiliates, each Independent Trustee receives for his or her services a $30,000 retainer in addition to $2,500 for each in-person meeting and $500 for each telephonic meeting from State Street or its affiliates. These fees are paid through a unitary fee.
6. Indemnifications
The Trust’s organizational documents provide that its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, both in some of its principal service contracts and in the normal course of its business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against the Trust. Management does not expect any significant claims.
State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of State Street Master Funds and
Owners of Beneficial Interest of State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting State Street Master Funds) (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio, a portfolio of State Street Master Funds, at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Advisory Agreement Renewal
The Board of Trustees of the Trust met on November 19, 2010 (the “Meeting”) to consider the renewal of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio (the “Advisory Agreement”). In preparation for considering the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees had reviewed the renewal materials provided by the investment adviser, which they had requested through independent counsel. In deciding whether to renew the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered various factors, including (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) under the Advisory Agreement, (ii) the investment performance of the Portfolio, (iii) the costs to the Adviser of its services and the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Trust, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if and as the Trust grows and whether the fee levels in the Advisory Agreement reflect these economies of scale, and (v) any additional benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Trustees relied on their prior direct experience as Trustees of the Trust as well as on the materials provided at the Meeting. The Trustees reviewed the Adviser’s responsibilities under the Advisory Agreement and noted the experience and expertise that would be appropriate to expect of an adviser to the Portfolio, which is an index fund. The Trustees reviewed the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for the investment and compliance operations relating to the investments of the Portfolio, and the responsibilities of the latter with respect to the Portfolio. They also considered the resources, operational structures and practices of the Adviser in managing the Portfolio’s investments, in monitoring and securing the Portfolio’s compliance with its investment objective and policies with respect to its investments and with applicable laws and regulations, and in seeking best execution of portfolio transactions. The Trustees also considered information about the Adviser’s overall investment management business, noting that the Adviser manages assets for a variety of institutional investors and that the Adviser and its affiliates had over $1.90 trillion in assets under management as of September 30, 2010, including over $183.40 billion managed by the Adviser. They reviewed information regarding State Street’s business continuity and disaster recovery program. Drawing upon the materials provided and their general knowledge of the business of the Adviser, the Trustees determined that the experience, resources and strength of the Adviser in the management of index products are exceptional. As discussed more fully below, they also determined that the advisory fee for the Portfolio was fair and reasonable and that its performance and expense ratio were acceptable. On the basis of this review, the Trustees determined that the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser to the Portfolio were appropriate and had been of good quality.
The Trustees noted that, in view of the investment objective of the Portfolio and the available data, the investment performance was acceptable. The Trustees noted that the performance of the Portfolio in absolute terms was not of the importance that normally attaches to that of actively-managed funds. Of more importance to the Trustees was the extent to which the Portfolio achieved its objective of replicating, before expenses, the total return of the S&P 500 Index. Drawing upon information provided at the Meeting and upon reports provided to the Trustees by the Adviser throughout the preceding year, they determined that the Portfolio had in fact tracked the index within an acceptable range of tracking error. They concluded that the performance of the Portfolio was acceptable.
The Trustees considered the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliate, State Street, of the advisory relationships with the Trust. (They noted at the outset that the issue of profitability would not arise with respect to State Street Global Markets LLC (“SSGM”), also an affiliate of the Adviser, because of the fact that SSGM receives no compensation from the feeder fund and, by implication, the Portfolio.) The Trustees had been provided with data regarding the profitability to the Adviser and State Street with respect to the Portfolio individually, and on an aggregate basis, for the year ended June 30, 2010, with additional data relating to prior years. Having discussed with representatives of the Adviser the methodologies used in computing the costs that formed the bases of the profitability calculations, they concluded that these methodologies were reasonable and turned to the data provided. After discussion and analysis they concluded that, to the extent that the Adviser’s and State Street’s relationships with the Trust had been profitable to either or both of those entities during the period for which information had been provided, the profitability was in no case such as to render the advisory fee excessive.
In order better to evaluate the Portfolio’s advisory fee, the Trustees had requested comparative information from Lipper Inc. with respect to fees paid by, and expense ratios of, similar funds not managed by the Adviser. The Trustees found that the Portfolio’s advisory fee and total expense
State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
General Information (continued)December 31, 2010 (Unaudited)
ratio were all lower than the average for its Lipper peer group; after discussion, they concluded that the data available provided confirmation of the reasonableness of the Adviser’s fee.
In addition, the Trustees considered other advisory fees paid to the Adviser. They noted that as a general matter fees paid to the Adviser by other, closely similar mutual funds sponsored by State Street were significantly higher than the fees paid by the Portfolio and, indirectly, by the feeder fund. As to fees paid by mutual funds for which the Adviser acted as sub-adviser and by institutional accounts managed by the Adviser, the Trustees noted that these were generally lower than those paid by the Portfolio; in considering these fees, the Trustees reviewed and discussed a memorandum prepared by the Adviser discussing the differences between the services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser and those provided to the other two types of clients. The Trustees determined that, in light of these significant differences, in both cases the fees were of doubtful utility for purposes of comparison with that of the Portfolio, but that to the extent that meaningful comparison was practicable the differences in services satisfactorily accounted for differences in the fees. The Board determined that the Adviser’s fee was fair and reasonable.
In considering whether the Adviser benefits in other ways from its relationship with the Trust, the Trustees also considered whether the Adviser’s affiliates may benefit from the Trust’s relationship with State Street as fund administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted, among other things, that the Adviser utilizes no soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Portfolio’s brokerage transactions to obtain third-party (non-proprietary research) services. The Trustees concluded that, to the extent that the Adviser or its affiliates derive other benefits from their relationships with the Trust, those benefits are not so significant as to render the Adviser’s fee excessive.
The Trustees also considered the extent to which economies of scale may be realized by the Portfolio as assets grow and whether the Portfolio’s fee level reflects such economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of investors. In considering the matter, the Trustees determined that, to the extent economies of scale were in fact realized, such economies of scale were shared with the Portfolio by virtue of an advisory fee of a comparatively low level that subsumed economies of scale in the fee itself. The Trustees also recognized, however, that should sustained, substantial asset growth be realized in the future, it might be appropriate to consider additional measures.
On the basis of the foregoing discussions and determinations, without any one factor being dispositive, the Trustees decided to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement.

“SSgA” is a registered trademark of State Street Corporation and is licensed for use by the SSgA Funds. This report is prepared from the books and records of the Funds and it is submitted for the general information of shareholders. This information is for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by a SSgA Funds Prospectus containing more complete information concerning the investment objectives and operations of the Funds, charges and expenses. The Prospectus should be read carefully before an investment is made.
Performance quoted represents past performance and past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. For the most recent month end performance information, visit www.ssgafunds.com. Investment in the Funds poses investment risks, including the possible loss of principal. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.65% (representing the six month period annualized), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Includes amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the investment advisor. Without the waiver and/or reimbursement, expenses would have been higher. |

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.00% (representing the six month period annualized), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Includes amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the investment advisor. Without the waiver and/or reimbursement, expenses would have been higher. |

Enhanced Small Cap Fund
Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses Paid During Period* | | $ | 4.47 | | | $ | 3.76 | |
| |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.75% (representing the six month period annualized), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Includes amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the investment advisor. Without the waiver and/or reimbursement, expenses would have been higher. |

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the first column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses Paid During Period* | | $ | 10.30 | | | $ | 9.54 | |
| |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.91% (representing the six month period annualized), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Includes amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the investment advisor. Without the waiver and/or reimbursement, expenses would have been higher. |

Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
The SSgA Funds (the “Investment Company”) is a series mutual fund, comprised of 20 investment portfolios that were in operation as of February 28, 2011. These financial statements report on 6 funds: the SSgA Disciplined Equity Fund, SSgA Small Cap Fund, SSgA Tuckerman Active REIT Fund, SSgA IAM SHARES Fund, SSgA Enhanced Small Cap Fund and SSgA Directional Core Equity Fund, each a “Fund” and collectively referred to as the “Funds,” each of which has distinct investment objectives and strategies. Each fund is an open-end management investment company, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Investment Company was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 3, 1987 and operates under a First Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement, dated October 13, 1993, as amended (the “Agreement”). The Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest at a $.001 par value.
On July 31, 2003, the Class R Prospectus for the Small Cap Fund became effective. Class R shares of the Investment Company may not be purchased by individuals directly, but must be purchased through a third party financial institution which is permitted by contract with the Investment Company to offer shares. The third party may be a retirement plan administrator, bank, broker or advisor.

2. | | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require the use of management estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
United States equity securities listed and traded principally on any national securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale price or, lacking any sale, at the last reported bid price on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. United States over-the-counter equities are valued on the official closing price. Futures contracts are valued on the basis of settlement price established on the exchange on which they are traded. Investments in other mutual funds are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
Short-term instruments purchased by the Funds and maturing within 60 days of the time of purchase are valued at “amortized cost” unless the Board determines that amortized cost does not represent fair value.
If market quotations are not readily available for a security or if subsequent events suggest that a market quotation is not reliable, the Funds will use the security’s fair value, as determined in accordance with Fair Value Procedures adopted by the Board. This generally means that equity securities and fixed income securities listed and traded principally on any national securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale price or, lacking any sales, at the closing bid price, on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. The Funds may use the fair value of a portfolio security to calculate their NAV when, for example: (1) market quotations are not readily available because a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed; (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the time as of which the Funds calculate their NAV; (3) where a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time of the market quotation provided for a portfolio security and the time as of which the Funds calculate their NAV; (4) a security’s price has remained unchanged over an extended period of time (often referred to as a “stale price”), or (5) State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”), or Russell Fund Services Company (the “Administrator”), determines that a market quotation is inaccurate.
The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board believes reflects fair value. A security valued on the basis of an evaluation of its fair value may be valued at a price higher or lower than available market quotations. A security’s valuation may differ depending on the method used and the factors considered in determining value pursuant to the Fair Value Procedures. There can be no assurance that the Funds’ NAV fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing when using
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | 57 |
SSgA
Equity Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
the Fair Value Procedures to price the Funds’ securities. Events or circumstances affecting the values of fund securities that occur between the closing of the principal markets on which they trade and the time the NAV of fund shares is determined may be reflected in the Investment Company’s calculation of NAVs for each applicable fund when the Investment Company deems that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such fund’s NAV.
Fair value of securities is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurement, the fair value hierarchy was established to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to establish classifications of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| | |
| • | Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments |
|
| • | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs including quoted market prices in non-active markets or prices derived from market data. Included are the following: |
| | |
| • | common stocks traded or quoted only on inactive markets |
|
| • | privately placed bonds whose values are derived from a similar bond that is publicly traded |
|
| • | interest rate swaps valued based on compilation of primarily observable swap curves incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | euro commercial paper valued at amortized cost which approximates market and is not priced daily or a broker quote in a non-active market with inputs incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | non registered mutual funds that are daily priced, but not publicly traded |
|
| • | currency forwards valued based on a compilation of primarily observable market currency spot rates incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | corporate bonds and notes, domestic commercial paper, time deposits, U.S. Government Agencies, U.S. Treasury and Yankee Certificates of Deposit using evaluated pricing based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and or live data sources, active market makers and inter-dealer broker inputs incorporated into a model or matrix price |
|
| • | mortgage-related and other asset backed securities are valued based on evaluators analyzing features such as the pricing speed, spread and volatility in order to confirm the deal structure. Spreads and other information solicited from Wall Street buy and sell-side sources, including primary and secondary dealers, portfolio managers, and research analysts are used as model inputs. Using evaluated pricing based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and or live data sources, active market makers and inter-dealer broker inputs are incorporated into a model or matrix price (security characteristics including coupon rates and maturity dates are disclosed in the Statement of Investments). |
Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
| | |
| • | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Included are the following: |
| | |
58 | | Notes to Financial Statements |
SSgA
Equity Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
| | |
| • | OTC securities using the Company’s own data/models |
|
| • | prices with significant haircuts applied |
|
| • | staled securities — fair valuation procedures are applied |
|
| • | securities that have broken tolerance outlined in the Board-approved securities valuation procedures |
|
| • | no current market quotations — fair valuation procedures are applied |
|
| • | unreliable prices — fair valuation procedures are applied |
Level 3 investments include positions with prices not derived from existing market data. As such, Level 3 assets typically involve the use of financial models, such as discounted cash flow analysis for investments in privately held companies, or other non-market based methods to determine an investment’s Fair Value. One may consider Level 3 investments as those that cannot be quickly liquidated for their stated market value.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
The levels associated with valuing the Funds’ investments for the period ended February 28, 2011 are disclosed in the Presentation of Portfolio Holdings following the Schedule of Investments.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Investment Income
Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis.
Federal Income Taxes
Since the Investment Company is a Massachusetts business trust, each Fund is a separate corporate taxpayer and determines its net investment income and capital gains (losses) and the amounts to be distributed to each Fund’s shareholders without regard to the income and capital gains (losses) of the other Funds.
It is each Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This required each Fund to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains. Therefore, the Funds paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required for the Funds.
Each Fund files a U.S. tax return. At February 28, 2011, the Funds had recorded no liabilities for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in future tax returns. While the statue of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed August 31, 2007 through August 31, 2009, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Income dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends are generally declared and paid on the following frequency:
| | | | |
Disciplined Equity | | | Quarterly | |
Small Cap | | | Annually | |
Tuckerman Active REIT | | | Monthly | |
IAM SHARES | | | Quarterly | |
Enhanced Small Cap | | | Annually | |
Directional Core Equity | | | Annually | |
Capital gain distributions are generally declared and paid annually. An additional distribution may be paid by the Funds to avoid imposition of federal income tax on any remaining undistributed net investment income and capital gains. The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for GAAP purposes. These differences relate primarily to investments in certain securities sold at a loss. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting are reclassified to paid-in capital.
Expenses
Most expenses can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses of the Investment Company which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are allocated among all Funds of the Investment Company based principally on their relative average net assets.
The Small Cap Fund offers Class R Shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees. Shareholders of each class bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. Realized and unrealized gains (losses), net investment income, and expenses with the exception of class level expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
Derivatives
To the extent permitted by the investment objective, restrictions and policies set forth in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Funds may participate in various derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are
| | |
60 | | Notes to Financial Statements |
SSgA
Equity Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
instruments or agreements whose value is derived from an underlying security or index. The Funds’ use of derivatives includes exchange-traded futures. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Funds in meeting their investment objective.
The Funds typically use derivatives in three ways: cash equitization, hedging, and return enhancement. Cash equitization is a technique that may be used by the Funds through the use of options and futures to earn “market-like” returns with the Funds’ excess and liquidity reserve cash balances. Hedging is used by the Funds to limit or control risks, such as adverse movements in exchange rates and interest rates. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in the Funds. By purchasing certain instruments, the Funds may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio characteristics that assist in meeting the Funds’ investment objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized, the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks are generally categorized as market risk, liquidity risk and counterparty or credit risk.
The fair values of the Funds Derivative Instruments as shown the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure for the period ended February 28, 2011, were as follows:

Derivative balances at February 28, 2011 are representative of derivative use throughout the period.
Futures Contracts
The Funds are currently utilizing exchange-traded futures contracts. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Funds and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market or inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with a broker an amount, termed the initial margin, which
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | 61 |
SSgA
Equity Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
typically represents 5% of the purchase price indicated in the futures contract. Payments to and from the broker, known as the variation margin, are required to be made on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates. Changes in initial settlement value are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized. As of February 28, 2011, the Enhanced Small Cap Fund had a $4,500 cash collateral balance held in connection with futures contracts purchased (sold).
Short Sales
The Directional Core Equity Fund may enter into short sale transactions. In a short sale, the seller sells a security that it does not own, typically a security borrowed from a broker or dealer. Because the seller remains liable to return the underlying security that it borrowed from the broker or dealer, the seller must purchase the security prior to the date on which delivery to the broker or dealer is required. As a result, the Fund will engage in short sales only where the Advisor believes the value of the security will decline between the date of the sale and the date the Fund is required to return the borrowed security. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will realize a gain if the security declines in price between those dates. The making of short sales exposes the Fund to the risk of liability for the market value of the security that is sold (the amount of which the liability increases as the market value of the underlying security increases), in addition to the costs associated with establishing, maintaining and closing out the short position. Although the Fund’s potential for gain as a result of a short sale is limited to the price at which it sold the security short less the cost of borrowing the security, its potential for loss is theoretically unlimited because there is no limit to the cost of replacing the borrowed security. When engaging in short sales, the Fund may be required to pledge assets to the broker or take other action to cover its obligation, which has the practical effect of limiting the amount of leverage that can be created through this investment.
Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Securities Lending
The Investment Company participates in a securities lending program whereby each Fund can loan securities with a value up to 331/3% of its total assets. The Fund receives cash (U.S. currency), U.S. Government, U.S. Government agency obligations or foreign government securities as collateral against the loaned securities. To the extent that a loan is secured by cash collateral, such collateral must be invested by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”, the lending agent and an affiliate of the Advisor) in short-term instruments, money market mutual funds, and such other short-term investments, provided the investments meet certain quality and diversification requirements. Under the securities lending arrangement, the collateral received is recorded on a lending Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities along with the related obligation to return the

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
collateral. At year end, all such cash collateral was invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Prime Lending Portfolio, a money market fund affiliated with the Advisor.
Income generated from the investment of cash collateral, less negotiated rebate fees paid to participating brokers and transaction costs, is divided between the Fund and State Street and is recorded as securities lending income for the Funds. To the extent that a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, brokers pay the Fund negotiated lenders’ fees, which are divided between the Fund and State Street and are recorded as security lending income for the Fund. All collateral received will be in an amount at least equal to 102% (for loans of U.S. securities) or 105% (for non-U.S. securities) of the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds the next day. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, there is a risk of delay in recovery or loss of rights in the securities loaned or loss of rights in the collateral. Consequently, loans are made only to borrowers which are deemed to be of good financial standing.
As of February 28, 2011, the non-cash collateral received for the securities on loan was as follows:
| | | | | | |

Advisor and Affiliates
The Advisor manages the Funds pursuant to a written Investment Advisory Agreement dated May 1, 2001, as amended, between the Investment Company and the Advisor. The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, a publicly held bank holding company. The Tuckerman Group, LLC serves as the investment sub-advisor (the “Sub-Advisor”) for the Tuckerman Active REIT Fund. The Advisor provides reporting, operational compliance and general oversight services with respect to the investment advisory services of the Sub-Advisor. The Advisor and other advisory affiliates of State Street Corporation make up State Street Global Advisors, the investment management arm of State Street Corporation and its affiliated companies. The Advisor directs the investments of the Funds in accordance with their investment objectives, policies, and limitations. For these services, the Funds pay a fee to the Advisor, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the following annual rates of their average daily net assets:

Institutional Class
The Investment Company maintains a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Investment Company is authorized to make payments to the Distributor, or any shareholder servicing agent, as defined in the Plan, for providing distribution and marketing services, for furnishing assistance to investors on an ongoing basis, and for the reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses charged by the Distributor in connection with the distribution and marketing of shares of the Investment Company and the servicing of investor accounts.
Each Fund has shareholder service agreements with State Street and the following entities related to State Street: State Street Global Markets LLC (“Global Markets”), Fiduciary Investors Services Division of State Street (“Fiduciary Investors Services”) and High Net Worth Services Division of State Street (“High Net Worth Services”) (collectively, the “Agents”), as well as several unaffiliated services providers. For these services, each Institutional Class pays 0.025% to State Street, and a maximum of 0.175% to each of the other named affiliated Agents, based upon the average daily value of all institutional class shares held by or for customers of these Agents. For the period ended February 28, 2011, each Institutional Class paid the following shareholder servicing expenses to the Agents:

Directional Core Equity | | | 451 | | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | |
Each Institutional Class did not incur any expenses from Fiduciary Investors Services and High Net Worth Services during the period.
The combined distribution and shareholder servicing payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the average daily value of net assets of the Institutional Class on an annual basis. The shareholder servicing payments shall not exceed 0.20% of the average daily value of net assets of each Institutional Class on an annual basis. Costs that exceed the maximum amount of allowable reimbursement may be carried forward for two years following the year in which the expenditure was incurred so long as the Plan is in effect. The class’ responsibility for any such expenses carried forward shall terminate at the end of two years following the year in which the expenditure was incurred. The Board or a majority of the class’ shareholders have the right, however, to terminate the Plan and all payments thereunder at any time. The Institutional Class will not be obligated to reimburse the Distributor for carryover expenses subsequent to the Distribution Plan’s termination or noncontinuance.
Class R
The Investment Company has a distribution plan with respect to the Class R Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “R Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under the R Plan, each Fund pays the Distributor a fee not to exceed 0.70% of the fund’s average net value per year, for distribution, shareholder and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Distributor and financial intermediaries.
The Distributor pays the financial intermediaries for shareholder and administrative services provided to a Fund out of the fee the Distributor receives from the Fund. Fees paid to the financial intermediaries providing shareholder and administrative services to a Fund are not permitted by the R Plan to exceed 0.65% of the Fund’s average net asset value per year. Payments to the Distributor for distribution and shareholder services to a Fund are not permitted by the R plan to exceed 0.05% of the funds average daily net assets per year. Any payments that are required to be made to the Distributor or financial intermediaries that cannot be made because of the limitations contained in the R Plan may be carried forward and paid in the following two fiscal years so long the R Plan is in effect.
Under the R Plan, the Funds have a distribution agreement with the Distributor. For these services, Class R pays the Distributor 0.05% of the daily net asset value. For the period ended February 28, 2011, the Small Cap Fund paid $183.

6. | | Interfund Lending Program |
The Funds participate in a joint lending and borrowing facility. Portfolios of the Funds may borrow money from the SSgA Money Market Fund for temporary purposes. All such borrowing and lending will be subject to a participating fund’s fundamental investment limitations. The SSgA Money Market Fund will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements or short-term reserves. The Funds will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. A participating fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to the SSgA Money Market Fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs. For the period ended February 28, 2011, the Funds did not utilize the Interfund Lending Program.
On March 1, 2011, the Funds declared the following dividends from net investment income payable on March 7, 2011 to shareholders of record on March 2, 2011.

8. | | Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk |
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). The value of securities held by each Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by each Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their value as recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Management has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since February 28, 2011, through the dates the financial statements were issued, that would merit recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. During this review nothing was discovered which would require further disclosure within the financial statements.
