Table of Contents
“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, 2015 (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 Semi-annual 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 administration 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, 2014 to February 28, 2015.
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 transaction 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Includes amounts waived, reimbursed and/or other credits. Without the waiver, reimbursement and/or other credits, expenses would have been higher. |

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2015 (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 Semi-annual 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 administration 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, 2014 to February 28, 2015.
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 transaction 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2015 (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 Semi-annual 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 administration 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, 2014 to February 28, 2015.
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 transaction 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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, 2014 to February 28, 2015.
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 transaction 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Includes amounts waived, reimbursed and/or other credits. Without the waiver, reimbursement and/or other credits, expenses would have been higher. |

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2015 (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 Semi-annual 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 administration 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, 2014 to February 28, 2015.
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 transaction 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2015 (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 Semi-annual 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 administration 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, 2014 to February 28, 2015.
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 transaction 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Includes amounts waived, reimbursed and/or other credits. Without the waiver, reimbursement and/or other credits, expenses would have been higher. |

The fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services –Investment Companies.
2. | | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. 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
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. Equity-linked securities are valued at settlement price of the underlying security. Futures contracts are valued at the quoted settlement price at the end of each day on the exchange upon which they are traded. Money market instruments maturing within 60 days of the valuation date are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available may be valued at “fair value,” as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Board has adopted procedures concerning securities valuation, under which an Oversight Committee makes determinations as to whether market quotations are not readily available or do not otherwise accurately reflect the fair value of the security. The Oversight Committee, or a subgroup thereof, subject to oversight by the Board, may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, situations when trading in a security has been suspended or halted. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be received on the sale of the security.
The Funds have 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 Funds 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 Funds’ investments.
The three tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
| • | | Level 1 — Inputs using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities. |
| • | | Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are nonactive, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs. |
| • | | Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair market value of investments. |
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 Trust’s calculation of NAVs for each applicable Fund when the Trust deems that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such Fund’s NAV. Funds that invest primarily in frequently traded exchange-listed securities will use fair value pricing in limited circumstances since reliable market quotations will often be readily available. 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
| | | | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | | 67 | |
SSGA Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
determined in accordance with Fair Value Procedures adopted by the Board. Funds that invest in foreign securities are likely to use fair value pricing more often since significant events may occur between the close of foreign markets and the time of pricing which would trigger fair value pricing of the foreign securities. Although there are observable inputs assigned on a security level, prices are derived from factors using proprietary models or matrix pricing. For this reason, significant events will cause movement between Levels 1 and 2. Funds that invest in low-rated debt securities are also likely to use fair value pricing more often since the markets in which such securities are traded are generally thinner, more limited and less active than those for higher rated securities. Examples of events that could trigger fair value pricing of one or more securities are: (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) the Funds’ custodian or administrator determines that a market quotation is inaccurate.
Equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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, since foreign securities can trade on non-business days.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy. Transfers between fair value hierarchy levels are recognized at the end of the year. For the period end February 28, 2015, there were no transfers between levels.
The levels associated with valuing the Funds’ investments for the period ended February 28, 2015 are disclosed in the Presentation of Portfolio Holdings following the Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale of disposition of securities and foreign exchange transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date. Class specific distribution and shareholder servicing fees are borne by each class. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized gains and losses are allocated to the respective classes daily on the basis of relative net assets.
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. All premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized/accreted using the interest method. 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 Trust 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, for the year ended August 31, 2014, 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, 2015, 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. The Funds may be

subject to potential examinations by certain taxing authorities for all open tax years (the current and prior years, as applicable). There are no examinations 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, 2014, the following Funds had net tax basis capital loss carryforwards, which may be applied against any realized net taxable gains in each succeeding year or until their expiration dates, whichever occurs first:

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:
| | | | |
SSGA Dynamic Small Cap Fund | | | Annually | |
SSGA Clarion Real Estate Fund | | | Monthly | |
SSGA Enhanced Small Cap Fund | | | Annually | |
SSGA Emerging Markets Fund | | | Annually | |
SSGA International Stock Selection Fund | | | Annually | |
SSGA High Yield Bond Fund | | | Monthly | |
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 U.S. GAAP purposes. These differences relate primarily to investments in swaps, futures, forward contracts, passive foreign investment companies, foreign denominated investments, REITs, wash sales, partnerships, non-taxable dividends and investments in certain securities sold at a loss. 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 Trust which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are allocated among all funds of the Trust based principally on their relative average net assets.
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 U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts and transactions of any fund that holds securities denominated in non-U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. 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 U.S. 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.
These 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 (loss) on debt obligations.
Capital Gains Taxes
The SSGA 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, 2015. The accrual for unrealized 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.

| | Deferred Tax Liability | | | Capital Gains Taxes | |

SSGA Emerging Markets Fund | | $ | 475,193 | | | $ | 403,894 | |
High Yield Securities
The SSGA High Yield Bond Fund 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.
Loan Agreements
The SSGA High Yield Bond Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers to lenders or lending syndicates. These investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When investing in a loan anticipation, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan.

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 invest 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 credit default swaps. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Funds in meeting their investment objectives.
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, counterparty risk, interest rate risk and credit risk.
Investments in a derivative instrument could lose more than the principal amount invested. Compared to conventional securities, derivatives can be more sensitive to changes in interest rates or to sudden fluctuations in market prices and thus a Fund’s losses may be greater if it invests in derivatives than if it invests only in conventional securities. The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in equity or fixed income securities, currencies or other investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of risks such as liquidity risk, market risk, credit risk, default risk, counterparty risk and management risk. They also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate exactly with the change in the value of the underlying asset, rate or index.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
In connection with portfolio purchases and sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency, certain funds may enter into foreign currency exchange spot contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“contracts”). Additionally, from time to time these 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. Realized gains (losses) arising from such transactions are included in net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency-related transactions.
These Funds may engage in forward currency contracts to hedge against uncertainty in the level of future exchange rates or, to the extent permitted by the investment objective, restrictions and policies set forth in a Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, to effect investment transactions to generate returns consistent with the Funds’ investment objective and strategies. A forward contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency. Forward currency contracts are subject to the risk that should forward prices increase, a loss will be incurred to the extent that the price of the currency agreed to be purchased exceeds the price of the currency agreed to be sold.

For the period ended February 28, 2015, the following Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts primarily for the strategy listed below:
| | |
Fund | | Strategy |
SSGA Emerging Markets Fund | | Foreign currency exposure management |
Futures Contracts
A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a security, or deliver a cash settlement, in connection with an interest rate, an index, currency or other asset. The risk of loss in trading futures contracts in some strategies is potentially unlimited. The entire amount invested in futures contracts could be lost. There also is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for futures contracts and options in which a Fund may invest. Participation in the futures markets, as well as the use of various forward contracts, involves investment risks and transaction costs to which the Fund would not be subject absent the use of these strategies. If the Fund’s predictions of movements in the direction of the securities, fixed income or currencies markets are inaccurate, the adverse consequences to the Fund may leave the Fund in a worse position than if such strategies were not used.
Certain 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. 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.
For the period ended February 28, 2015, the following Funds entered into future contracts primarily for the strategies listed below:
| | |
Funds | | Strategies |
SSGA Dynamic Small Cap Fund | | Exposing cash reserves to markets |
SSGA Enhanced Small Cap Fund | | Hedging cash |
SSGA Emerging Markets Fund | | Return enhancement, hedging and exposing cash reserves to markets |
SSGA International Stock Selection Fund | | Exposing cash reserves to markets |
Credit Default Swaps
The SSGA 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 Fund 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. The 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 upfront or periodic payments previously made and recover nothing should a credit event fail to occur and the swap is held to its termination date. As a 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 the Fund. The maximum potential amount the Fund may pay should a negative credit event take place is defined under the terms of the agreement.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
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.
Index Swaps
The SSGA Emerging Markets Fund may enter 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 the Funds’ investment adviser deems creditworthy. This risk is also mitigated by investing the portfolio in assets generating cash flows complementary to the returns it is required to pay. The Fund segregates 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, 2015, the SSGA Emerging Markets Fund held no swap contracts and therefore held no cash collateral in connection with swap contracts purchased (sold).
Participation Notes
The SSGA 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 Funds’ investment adviser 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. As of February 28, 2015, the SSGA Emerging Markets Fund held four Equity-Linked Notes which are identified on the Schedule of Investments.
Investment in Foreign Securities
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 Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Funds 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 developed 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 U.S.
Contractual Obligation/Indemnification
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and obligations, including 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, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Securities Lending
The Trust participates in a securities lending program whereby each Fund can loan securities with a value up to 33 1/3% 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, as the lending agent, 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 by a lending Fund along with the related obligation to return the collateral. As of November 30, 2014, all such cash collateral was invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio, a money market fund affiliated with the Funds’ investment adviser.
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 the lending agent 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 the lending agent 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.

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 Trust 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 Adviser 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. Effective September 1, 2006, the Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of any participating Fund’s advisory fee equal to the advisory fee paid by that participating Fund to the Central Fund. As of February 28, 2015, $8,401,856 or 0.15% of the Central Fund’s net assets represents investments by these Funds.

Administrator
State Street (the “Administrator”) serves as the Trust’s Administrator, pursuant to an administration agreement dated January 1, 2013 (the “Administration Agreement”). Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator supervises certain administrative aspects of the Trust’s operations. The Trust 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 Trust: $0 to $10 billion — 0.0175%; next $10 billion — 0.0125%; next $10 billion — 0.0075% and 0.0050% thereafter. In addition, the Trust pays additional fees to the Administrator for certain services and reimburses the Administrator for out-of-pocket expenses.
Distributor and Shareholder Servicing
State Street Global Markets, LLC (the “Distributor” or “SSGM”) promotes and offers shares of the Trust pursuant to an Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement dated April 14, 2014. The Distributor may enter into agreements with other related and non-related parties which act as agents to offer and sell shares of the Funds. The amounts paid to the Distributor are included in the accompanying Statements of Operations. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Trust 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 Trust and the servicing of investor accounts.
To compensate the Distributor for the services it provides and for the expenses it bears in connection with the distribution of shares of the Funds, each Fund may make payments from the assets attributable to certain classes of its shares to the Distributor under a distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Plan”). The Plan is a compensation plan that provides for payments at annual rates (based on average daily net assets) described below.
The Plan will continue in effect with respect to a class of shares of a Fund only if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of both a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust and a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or in any agreements related thereto (the “Qualified Distribution Plan Trustees”). The Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount of a Fund’s permitted expenses thereunder without the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of the affected share class and may not be materially amended in any case without a vote of the majority of
| | | | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | | 79 | |
SSGA Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
both the Trustees and the Qualified Distribution Plan Trustees. At the time of adoption, none of the Independent Trustees of the Trust had a direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan. The Plan calls for payments at an annual rate (based on average net assets) as follows:
| | | | |
| | Annual 12b-1 Fee | |
| | | | |
Class N | | | 0.25 | % |
Select Class | | | 0.025 | % |
Class A | | | 0.25 | % |
Class C | | | 1.00 | % |
Class I | | | 0.00 | % |
Class K | | | 0.00 | % |
Additionally, the Board approved the following limits on the amount of Rule 12b-1 fees the Distributor is reimbursed pursuant to the Plan:
| | | | |
| | 12b-1 Fee Limit | |
| | | | |
SSGA Dynamic Small Cap Fund | | | 0.25 | % |
SSGA Clarion Real Estate Fund | | | 0.25 | % |
SSGA Enhanced Small Cap Fund | | | 0.25 | % |
SSGA Emerging Markets Fund | | | 0.25 | % |
SSGA International Stock Selection Fund | | | 0.25 | % |
SSGA High Yield Bond Fund | | | 0.25 | % |
The Plan may benefit the Funds by increasing sales of shares and reducing redemptions of shares, resulting potentially, for example, in economies of scale and more predictable flows of cash into and out of the Funds. Because Rule 12b-1 fees are paid out of a Fund’s assets, all shareholders share in that expense; however, because shareholders hold their shares through varying arrangements (for example, directly or through financial intermediaries), they may not share equally in the benefits of the Plan.
Financial intermediaries are firms that, for compensation, sell shares of mutual funds, including the Funds, and/or provide certain administrative and account maintenance services to mutual fund shareholders. Financial intermediaries may include, among others, brokers, financial planners or advisors, banks, and insurance companies.
In some cases, a financial intermediary may hold its clients’ Fund shares in nominee or street name. Shareholder services provided by a financial intermediary may (though they will not necessarily) include, among other things: processing and mailing trade confirmations, periodic statements, prospectuses, annual reports, semi-annual reports, shareholder notices, and other SEC-required communications; capturing and processing tax data; issuing and mailing dividend checks to shareholders who have selected cash distributions; preparing record date shareholder lists for proxy solicitations; collecting and posting distributions to shareholder accounts; and establishing and maintaining systematic withdrawals and automated investment plans and shareholder account registrations.
The compensation paid by the Distributor to a financial intermediary may be paid continually over time, during the period when the intermediary’s clients hold investments in the Funds. The compensation to financial intermediaries includes networking fees and account-based fees. The amount of continuing compensation paid by the Distributor to different financial intermediaries varies.
Some portion of the Distributor’s payments to financial intermediaries will be made out of amounts received by the Distributor under the Funds’ Plans. In addition, certain of the Funds may reimburse the Distributor for payments the Distributor makes to financial intermediaries that provide certain recordkeeping, administrative and account maintenance services. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated in a manner approved by the Trustees and is reviewed by the Trustees periodically.
The Distributor and its affiliates (including SSGA FM), at their own expense and out of their own assets, may also provide other compensation to financial intermediaries in connection with sales of the Funds’ shares or the servicing of shareholders or shareholder accounts. Such compensation may include, but is not limited to, financial assistance to financial intermediaries in connection with conferences, sales, or training programs for their employees, seminars for the public, advertising or sales campaigns, or other financial intermediary-sponsored special events. In some instances, this compensation may be made available only to certain financial intermediaries whose representatives have sold or are expected to sell significant amounts of

SSGA Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
shares. Dealers may not use sales of the Funds’ shares to qualify for this compensation to the extent prohibited by the laws or rules of any state or any self-regulatory agency, such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
If payments to financial intermediaries by the distributor or adviser for a particular mutual fund complex exceed payments by other mutual fund complexes, your financial advisor and the financial intermediary employing him or her may have an incentive to recommend that fund complex over others. Please speak with your financial advisor to learn more about the total amounts paid to your financial advisor and his or her firm by the Distributor and its affiliates, and by sponsors of other mutual funds he or she may recommend to you. You should also consult disclosures made by your financial intermediary at the time of purchase.
Because the Funds pay distribution, service and other fees for the sale of their shares and for services provided to shareholders out of the Funds’ assets on an ongoing basis, over time those fees will increase the cost of an investment in a Fund and may cost a shareholder more than paying other types of sales loads. A Fund may pay distribution fees, service fees and other amounts described above at a time when shares of the Fund are not being actively promoted to new investors generally, or when shares of that Fund are unavailable for purchase.
Each Fund listed in the table below has a shareholder servicing agreement with State Street and the following entities related to State Street: SSGM, 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 Class N pays 0.025% to State Street and a maximum of 0.175% to each of the affiliated Agents, based upon the average daily value of all Class N shares held by or for customers of these Agents. For the period ended February 28, 2015, each Class N paid the following shareholder servicing expenses to the Agents:
| | | | | | | | |
| | State Street | | | SSGM | |
| | | | | | | | |
SSGA Dynamic Small Cap Fund | | $ | 326 | | | $ | 161 | |

SSGA High Yield Bond Fund | | | 2,128 | | | | 14 | |
The Fund(s) did not incur any expenses from Fiduciary Investors Services during the period.
Board of Trustees
Independent Trustees are compensated on a calendar year basis. Any Trustee who is deemed to be an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Funds does not receive compensation from the Funds for his or her service as a Trustee.
Each Independent Trustee receives for his or her services to the State Street Master Funds, State Street Institutional Investment Trust and SSGA Funds, a $141,500 annual base retainer in addition to $18,000 for each in-person meeting and $2,000 for each telephonic meeting from the Trust. The Co-Chairmen each receive an additional $44,000 annual retainer. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance. As of the date of this Shareholder Report, the Trustees were not paid pension or retirement benefits as part of SSGA Funds’ expenses. However, the SSGA Funds have, pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, implemented an optional deferred compensation plan by which the Independent Trustees may defer receipt of compensation and receive a return on the deferred amount determined with reference to the performance of shares of specified SSGA Funds. As of the period ended February 28, 2015, none of the Independent Trustees participated in the optional deferred compensation program. The SSGA Funds’ officers are compensated by the Adviser and its affiliates.
Independent Trustees’ fees are allocated among the Trust, State Street Master Fund and State Street Institutional Investment Trust and each of their respective series in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the relative net assets of the series.

6. | | Interfund Lending Program |
The Funds participate in a joint lending and borrowing facility (the “Interfund Lending Program”). Funds of the Trust 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 Interfund Lending 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 Interfund Lending 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, 2015, 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 (counterparty 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 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 (credit risk). 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.
The Portfolio and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) share in a $300 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks. The Participants may borrow for the purpose of meeting shareholder redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is calculated based on the unused portion of the shared credit line. Commitment fees are allocated among each of the Participants based on net assets. Commitment fees are ordinary fund operating expenses and are paid by the Adviser. A Participant incurs and pays the interest expense related to its borrowing. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. The Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its assets. At February 28, 2015, the SSGA Emerging Markets Fund had an average outstanding loan balance of approximately $11,750,000, with an average annual borrowing cost of 1.17% for approximately 49 days and the SSGA International Stock Selection Fund had an average outstanding loan balance of approximately $5,680,000, with an average annual borrowing cost of 1.17% for approximately 4 days.

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administration 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, 2014 to February 28, 2015.
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 transaction 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Annualized Expense Ratio | | | Actual Performance | | | Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)* | |
Beginning Account Value | | | | | | | | | | | | |
September 1, 2014 | | | 0.20 | % | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.00 | |
Ending Account Value | | | | | | | | | | | | |
February 28, 2015 | | | | | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,023.81 | |
Expenses Paid During Period* | | | | | | $ | 0.99 | | | $ | 1.00 | |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (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, reimbursed and/or other credits. Without the waiver, reimbursement and/or other credits, expenses would have been higher. |

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2015 (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 Semi-annual 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 administration 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, 2014 to February 28, 2015.
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 transaction 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Annualized Expense Ratio | | | Actual Performance | | | Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)* | |
Beginning Account Value | | | | | | | | | | | | |
September 1, 2014 | | | 0.08 | % | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.00 | |
Ending Account Value | | | | | | | | | | | | |
February 28, 2015 | | | | | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,024.40 | |
Expenses Paid During Period* | | | | | | $ | 0.40 | | | $ | 0.40 | |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (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, reimbursed and/or other credits. Without the waiver, reimbursement and/or other credits, expenses would have been higher. |

SSGA Money Market Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
The SSGA 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 October 3, 1987 and operates under a Second Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement, dated May 15, 2012 (the “Agreement”).
The Trust consists of eleven (11) series and corresponding classes, each of which have the same rights and privileges, including the same voting rights. Each series is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest at a $.001 par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following series (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”):
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Classes | | | Commencement of Operations: | |
| | | | | | | | |
SSGA Money Market Fund | | | Class N | | | | May 2, 1998 | |
SSGA US Government Money Market Fund | | | Class N | | | | March 1, 1991 | |
The other nine (9) series are included in separate Semiannual Reports.
SSGA Money Market Fund and SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund are each considered to be money market funds pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. It is the policy of the Funds to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00. However, there is no assurance the Funds will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share.
An investment in the Funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Funds seek to preserve the value of shareholders’ investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Funds.
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies.
Recent Regulatory Action
On July 23, 2014, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to the governing rules for money market funds. The amendments require that, following a two-year implementation timeframe, institutional prime and institutional tax exempt money market funds adopt a floating net asset value. The rule changes also allow for certain liquidity-based redemption fees and gate, and include enhanced requirements for disclosure and stress testing. The degree to which a money market fund will be impacted by the rule amendments will depend upon the type of fund and type of investors (retail or institutional). At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the Funds’ financial statements and accompanying notes.
2. | | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. 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 which approximates fair market value. Under this method, each portfolio instrument is initially valued at cost, and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization to maturity date of any discount or premium. Each Fund 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 “Board”). The Board has adopted procedures concerning securities valuation, under which an Oversight Committee makes determinations as to whether market quotations are not readily available or do not otherwise accurately reflect the fair value of the security. The Oversight Committee, or a subgroup thereof,

SSGA Money Market Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
subject to oversight by the Board, may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, situations when trading in a security has been suspended or halted. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, the value of the portfolio securities will be determined under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Oversight Committee. The Oversight Committee will assist in overseeing the comparison of amortized cost to market-based value. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be received on the sale of the security.
The Funds have 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 Funds 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 Funds’ investments.
The three tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
| • | | Level 1 — Inputs using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities. |
| • | | Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are non-active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs. |
| • | | Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair market value of investments. |
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of February 28, 2015, in valuing the Portfolios’ assets carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Investments in Securities | |
Valuation Inputs | | SSGA Money Market Fund | | | SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund | |
| | | | | | | | |
Level 1 — Quoted Prices | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
Level 2 — Quoted Prices | | | 3,594,313,042 | | | | 3,168,034,490 | |

| | | | | | | | |

The type of inputs used to value each security under the provisions surrounding fair value measurement and disclosures is identified in each Schedule of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Portfolios’ investments by category.
Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (e.g., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (e.g., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which the Portfolios’ net assets are computed and that may materially affect the value of the Portfolio’s investments). The valuation of fixed income securities held by the Portfolios are obtained from an independent pricing service and categorized as Level 2 based on the use of other significant observable market based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc). Examples of events that may be “significant events” are government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism, and significant market fluctuations.
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Portfolio’s net asset value and the prices used by such Portfolio’s benchmark index, which, in turn, could result in a difference between a Portfolio’s performance and the performance of such Portfolio’s benchmark index.

The inputs or methodology used for valuation are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy. Transfers between fair value hierarchy levels are recognized at the end of the period. As of the period ended February 28, 2015, there were no transfers between levels.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a 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 which is the same basis used for federal income taxes.
Investment Income
Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on investments. Premium is amortized and discount is accreted using the straight line method. Distributions received on securities that represent a return on capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction on cost of investments and/or as a realized gain.
Federal Income Taxes
Since the Trust 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 (the “Code”), as amended. This requires each Fund to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Code. Therefore, for the year ended August 31, 2014, 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, 2015, 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. The Funds may be subject to potential examinations by certain taxing authorities for all open tax years (the current and prior years, as applicable). There are no examinations 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, 2014, 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 U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP purposes. These differences relate primarily to capital loss carryforwards.
Expenses
Most expenses can be directly attributed to a Fund. Expenses of the Trust which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are allocated among all funds of the Trust based principally on their relative average net assets.

Repurchase Agreements
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement. A repurchase agreement customarily obligates the seller at the time it sells securities to the 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 or Government Agency securities, but the underlying securities on the SSGA Money Market Fund may consist of other securities such as Corporate Bonds in limited circumstances. The value of the underlying securities, at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day, is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. Upon an event of default under the Master Repurchase Agreement, 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 losses, 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 the Funds’ investment adviser.
Contractual Obligation/Indemnification
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and obligations, including 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, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Adviser and Affiliates
SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”), manages the Funds pursuant to an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement dated April 14, 2012, between the Trust and the Adviser. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, a publicly held bank holding company. The Adviser 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 Adviser directs the investments of each Fund in accordance with its investment objectives, policies, and limitations. For these services, the Funds pay a fee to the Adviser, calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.25% of their daily net assets.
The Adviser is contractually obligated until December 31, 2015 to waive its management fee on the SSGA Money Market Fund and to reimburse the Fund for all expenses to the extent that total expenses (exclusive of non-recurring account fees, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees) exceed 0.32% of average daily net assets on an annual basis. For the period ended February 28, 2015, there were no contractual waivers or reimbursements for the SSGA Money Market Fund. The Adviser does not have the ability to recover these amounts waived or reimbursed under this contractual agreement.
The Adviser is contractually obligated until December 31, 2015 to waive its management fee on the SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund and to reimburse the Fund for all expenses to the extent that total expenses (exclusive of nonrecurring account fees, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees) exceed 0.32% of average daily net assets on an annual basis. For the period ended February 28, 2015, there were no contractual waivers or reimbursements for the SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund. The Adviser does not have the ability to recover these amounts waived or reimbursed under this contractual agreement.
The Adviser also may voluntarily reduce all or a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a minimum net yield for a Fund (the “Voluntary Reduction”) which may vary from time to time and from fund to fund in the Adviser’s sole discretion. Under an agreement with SSGA Funds relating to the Voluntary Reduction, the SSGA Money Market Fund and the SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund, respectively, have agreed to reimburse the Adviser for the full dollar amount of any Voluntary Reduction beginning on August 1, 2012, subject to certain limitations. A Fund will not be

obligated to reimburse the Adviser: more than three years after the end of the fiscal year for the Fund in which the Adviser provided a Voluntary Reduction; in respect of any business day for which the net annualized one-day yield is less than 0.00%; to the extent that the amount of the reimbursement to the Adviser on any day exceeds fifty percent of the yield (net of all expenses, exclusive of the reimbursement) of the Fund on that day; to the extent that the amount of such reimbursement would cause the Fund’s net yield to fall below the Fund’s minimum net yield; or in respect of any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements that are necessary to maintain a Fund’s contractual total expense limit which is effective at the time of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. A reimbursement to the Adviser could negatively impact the SSGA Money Market Fund’s and the SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund’s future yield. There is no guarantee that either the SSGA Money Market Fund or the SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund will be able to avoid a negative yield. The Adviser may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably waive receipt of any or all reimbursement amounts due from a Fund, without limitation. 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, 2015, the Adviser waived $2,979,786 of its fee and reimbursed $0 of expenses on the SSGA Money Market Fund and waived $4,907,528 of its fee and reimbursed $907,887 of expenses on the SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund. Voluntary reductions subject to potential recovery by year of expiration are as follows:

Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”) serves as the Funds’ transfer and dividend paying agent, pursuant to an agreement dated August 1, 2006, as amended. For these services, the Funds pay annual account services fees, activity based fees and charges related to compliance and regulatory services. BFDS is a joint venture of DST Systems, Inc., and State Street Corporation.
State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, provides custody and fund accounting services to the Funds pursuant to an Amended and Restated Custodian Contract dated April 11, 2012. 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.
Administrator
State Street (the “Administrator”) serves as the Trust’s Administrator, pursuant to an administration agreement dated January 1, 2013 (the “Administration Agreement”). Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator supervises certain administrative aspects of the Trust’s operations. The Trust 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 Trust: $0 to $10 billion — 0.0175%; next $10 billion — 0.0125%; next $10 billion — 0.0075% and 0.0050% thereafter. In addition, the Trust pays additional fees to the Administrator for certain services and reimburses the Administrator for out-of-pocket expenses.
Distributor and Shareholder Servicing
State Street Global Markets, LLC (the “Distributor” or “SSGM”) promotes and offers shares of the Trust pursuant to an Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement dated April 14, 2014. The Distributor may enter into agreements with other related and non-related parties which act as agents to offer and sell shares of the Funds. The amounts paid to the Distributor are included in the accompanying Statements of Operations. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under this Plan, the Trust 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 Trust and the servicing of investor accounts.

To compensate the Distributor for the services it provides and for the expenses it bears in connection with the distribution of shares of the Fund, that Fund may make payments from the assets attributable to certain classes of its shares to the Distributor under a distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Plan”). The Plan is a compensation plan that provides for payments at annual rates (based on average daily net assets) described below.
The Plan will continue in effect with respect to a class of shares of a Fund only if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of both a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust and a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or in any agreements related thereto (the “Qualified Distribution Plan Trustees”). The Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount of a Fund’s permitted expenses thereunder without the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of the affected share class and may not be materially amended in any case without a vote of the majority of both the Trustees and the Qualified Distribution Plan Trustees. At the time of adoption, none of the Independent Trustees of the Trust had a direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan. The Plan calls for payments at an annual rate (based on average net assets) of 0.25%.
Additionally, the Board approved the following limits on the amount of Rule 12b-1 fees the Distributor is reimbursed pursuant to the Plan:
| | | | |
| | 12b-1 Fee Limit | |
| | | | |
SSGA Money Market Fund | | | 0.08 | % |
SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund | | | 0.08 | % |
The Plan may benefit the Funds by increasing sales of shares and reducing redemptions of shares, resulting potentially, for example, in economies of scale and more predictable flows of cash into and out of the Funds. Because Rule 12b-1 fees are paid out of a Fund’s assets, all shareholders share in that expense; however, because shareholders hold their shares through varying arrangements (for example, directly or through financial intermediaries), they may not share equally in the benefits of the Plan.
Financial intermediaries are firms that, for compensation, sell shares of mutual funds, including the Funds, and/or provide certain administrative and account maintenance services to mutual fund shareholders. Financial intermediaries may include, among others, brokers, financial planners or advisors, banks, and insurance companies.
In some cases, a financial intermediary may hold its clients’ Fund shares in nominee or street name. Shareholder services provided by a financial intermediary may (though they will not necessarily) include, among other things: processing and mailing trade confirmations, periodic statements, prospectuses, annual reports, semi-annual reports, shareholder notices, and other SEC-required communications; capturing and processing tax data; issuing and mailing dividend checks to shareholders who have selected cash distributions; preparing record date shareholder lists for proxy solicitations; collecting and posting distributions to shareholder accounts; and establishing and maintaining systematic withdrawals and automated investment plans and shareholder account registrations.
The compensation paid by the Distributor to a financial intermediary may be paid continually over time, during the period when the intermediary’s clients hold investments in the Funds. The compensation to financial intermediaries includes networking fees and account-based fees. The amount of continuing compensation paid by the Distributor to different financial intermediaries varies. Some portion of the Distributor’s payments to financial intermediaries will be made out of amounts received by the Distributor under the Funds’ Plans. In addition, certain of the Funds may reimburse the Distributor for payments the Distributor makes to financial intermediaries that provide certain recordkeeping, administrative and account maintenance services. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated in a manner approved by the Trustees and is reviewed by the Trustees periodically. A Fund may pay distribution fees, service fees and other amounts described above at a time when shares of the Fund are not being actively promoted to new investors generally, or when shares of that Fund are unavailable for purchase.
Each Fund listed in the table below has shareholder service agreements with State Street and the following entities related to State Street: SSGM, 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 Institutional Class pays 0.025% to State Street and a maximum of 0.175% to each of the affiliated Agents, based on the average daily value of all Institutional Class shares held by

or for customers of these Agents. For the period ended February 28, 2015, each Fund paid the following shareholder servicing expenses to the Agents:

SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund | | | 471,981 | | | | — | | | | 564,257 | | | | 46,046 | |
The Fund(s) did not incur any expenses from Fiduciary Investors Services during the year.
Board of Trustees
Independent Trustees are compensated on a calendar year basis. Any Trustee who is deemed to be an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Funds does not receive compensation from the Funds for his or her service as a Trustee.
Each Independent Trustee receives for his or her services to the State Street Master Funds, State Street Institutional Investment Trust and SSGA Funds, a $141,500 annual base retainer in addition to $18,000 for each in-person meeting and $2,000 for each telephonic meeting from the Trust. The Co-Chairmen each receive an additional $44,000 annual retainer. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance. As of the date of this Shareholder Report, the Trustees were not paid pension or retirement benefits as part of SSGA Funds’ expenses. However, the SSGA Funds have, pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, implemented an optional deferred compensation plan by which the Independent Trustees may defer receipt of compensation and receive a return on the deferred amount determined with reference to the performance of shares of specified SSGA Funds. As of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, none of the Independent Trustees participated in the optional deferred compensation program. The SSGA Funds’ officers are compensated by the Adviser and its affiliates.
Independent Trustees’ fees are allocated among the Trust, State Street Master Fund and State Street Institutional Investment Trust and each of their respective series in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the relative net assets of the series.
Accrued fees payable to affiliates and trustees as of February 28, 2015 were as follows:

5. | | Interfund Lending Program |
The SSGA Funds participate in a joint lending and borrowing facility (the “Interfund Lending Program”). Other SSGA 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 Interfund Lending Program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements or short-term reserves. The SSGA Funds will borrow through the Interfund Lending 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, 2015, the Funds did not utilize the Interfund Lending Program.
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 (counterparty 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 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 (credit risk). 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.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semi-annual 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 administration 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, 2014 to February 28, 2015.
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 transaction 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

| | Annualized Expense Ratio | | | Actual Performance | | | Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)* | |

Expenses Paid During Period | | | | | | $ | 0.20 | | | $ | 0.20 | |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (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, reimbursed and/or other credits. Without the waiver, reimbursement and/or other credits, expenses 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 Semi-annual 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 administration 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, 2014 to February 28, 2015.
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 transaction 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

SSGA Institutional Money Market Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
The SSGA 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 October 3, 1987 and operates under a Second Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement, dated May 15, 2012 (the “Agreement”).
The Trust consists of eleven (11) series and corresponding classes, each of which have the same rights and privileges, including the same voting rights. Each series is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest at a $.001 par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following series (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”):
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Classes | | | Commencement of Operations: | |
SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund | | | Class N | | | | December 1, 1993 | |
SSGA Prime Money Market Fund | | | Class N | | | | February 22, 1994 | |
The other nine (9) series are included in separate Semiannual Reports.
SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and SSGA Prime Money Market Fund are each considered to be money market funds pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. It is the policy of the Funds to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00. However, there is no assurance the Funds will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share.
An investment in the Funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Funds seek to preserve the value of shareholders’ investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Funds.
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies.
Recent Regulatory Action
On July 23, 2014, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to the governing rules for money market funds. The amendments require that, following a two-year implementation timeframe, institutional prime and institutional tax exempt money market funds adopt a floating net asset value. The rule changes also allow for certain liquidity-based redemption fees and gate, and include enhanced requirements for disclosure and stress testing. The degree to which a money market fund will be impacted by the rule amendments will depend upon the type of fund and type of investors (retail or institutional). At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the Funds’ financial statements and accompanying notes.
2. | | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. 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 which approximates fair market value. Under this method, each portfolio instrument is initially valued at cost, and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization to maturity date of any discount or premium. Each Fund 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 “Board”). The Board has adopted procedures concerning securities valuation, under which an Oversight Committee makes determinations as to whether market quotations are not readily available or do not otherwise accurately reflect the fair value of the security. The Oversight Committee, or a subgroup thereof,
| | |
18 | | Notes to Financial Statements |
SSGA Institutional Money Market Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
subject to oversight by the Board, may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, situations when trading in a security has been suspended or halted. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, the value of the portfolio securities will be determined under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Oversight Committee. The Oversight Committee will assist in overseeing the comparison of amortized cost to market-based value. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be received on the sale of the security.
The Funds have 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 Funds 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 Funds’ investments.
The three tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
| • | | Level 1 — Inputs using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities. |
| • | | Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are non-active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs. |
| • | | Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair market value of investments. |
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of February 28, 2015, in valuing the Portfolios’ assets carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Investments in Securities | |
Valuation Inputs | | SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund | | | SSGA Prime Money Market Fund | |
| | | | | | | | |
Level 1 — Quoted Prices | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
Level 2 — Quoted Prices | | | 6,292,814,314 | | | | 6,426,612,380 | |
Level 3 — Quoted Prices | | | — | | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total Investments | | $ | 6,292,814,314 | | | $ | 6,426,612,380 | |
The type of inputs used to value each security under the provisions surrounding fair value measurement and disclosures is identified in each Schedule of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Portfolios’ investments by category.
The inputs or methodology used for valuation are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (e.g., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (e.g., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which the Portfolios’ net assets are computed and that may materially affect the value of the Portfolio’s investments). The valuation of fixed income securities held by the Portfolios are obtained from an independent pricing service and categorized as Level 2 based on the use of other significant observable market based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc). Examples of events that may be “significant events” are government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism, and significant market fluctuations.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Portfolio’s net asset value and the prices used by such Portfolio’s benchmark index, which, in turn, could result in a difference between a Portfolio’s performance and the performance of such Portfolio’s benchmark index.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy. Transfers between fair value hierarchy levels are recognized at the end of the period. As of the period ended February 28, 2015, there were no transfers between levels.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a 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 which is the same basis used for federal income taxes.
Investment Income
Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on investments. Premium is amortized and discount is accreted using the straight line method. Distributions received on securities that represent a return on capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction on cost of investments and/or as a realized gain.
Federal Income Taxes
Since the Trust 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 (the “Code”), as amended. This requires each Fund to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Code. Therefore, for the year ended August 31, 2014, 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, 2015, 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. The Funds may be subject to potential examinations by certain taxing authorities for all open tax years (the current and prior years, as applicable). There are no examinations 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, 2014, 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 U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP purposes. These differences relate primarily to capital loss carryforwards.

Expenses
Most expenses can be directly attributed to a Fund. Expenses of the Trust which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are allocated among all funds of the Trust based principally on their relative average net assets.
Repurchase Agreements
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement. A repurchase agreement customarily obligates the seller at the time it sells securities to the 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 or (for SSGA Prime Money Market Fund only) Government Agency securities, but the underlying securities on the SSGA Prime Money Market Fund may consist of other securities such as Corporate Bonds in limited circumstances. The value of the underlying securities, at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day, is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. Upon an event of default under the Master Repurchase Agreement, 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 losses, 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 the Funds’ investment adviser.
Contractual Obligation/Indemnification
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and obligations, including 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, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Adviser and Affiliates
SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) manages the Funds pursuant to an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement dated April 11, 2012, between the Trust and the Adviser. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, a publicly held bank holding company. The Adviser 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 Adviser 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 Adviser, calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.15% of its daily average net assets.
The Adviser is contractually obligated until December 31, 2015 to waive 0.05% of its 0.15% management fee on the SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund. Additionally, the Adviser is further contractually obligated until December 31, 2015 to waive its management fee and to reimburse the Fund for all expenses to the extent that total expenses (exclusive of non-recurring account fees, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees) exceed 0.16% of average daily net assets on an annual basis. The total amounts of the waiver and reimbursement for the period ended February 28, 2015 were $1,722,943 and $0, respectively. The Adviser does not have the ability to recover these amounts waived or reimbursed under this contractual agreement.

The Adviser also may voluntarily reduce all or a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a minimum net yield for a Fund (the “Voluntary Reduction”) which may vary from time to time and from fund to fund in the Adviser’s sole discretion. Under an agreement with SSGA Funds relating to the Voluntary Reduction, the SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and the SSGA Prime Money Market Fund, respectively, have agreed to reimburse the Adviser for the full dollar amount of any Voluntary Reduction beginning on August 1, 2012, subject to certain limitations. A Fund will not be obligated to reimburse the Adviser: more than three years after the end of the fiscal year for the Fund in which the Adviser provided a Voluntary Reduction; in respect of any business day for which the net annualized one-day yield is less than 0.00%; to the extent that the amount of the reimbursement to the Adviser on any day exceeds fifty percent of the yield (net of all expenses, exclusive of the reimbursement) of the Fund on that day; to the extent that the amount of such reimbursement would cause the Fund’s net yield to fall below the Fund’s minimum net yield; or in respect of any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements that are necessary to maintain a Fund’s contractual total expense limit which is effective at the time of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. A reimbursement to the Adviser could negatively impact the SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund’s and the SSGA Prime Money Market Fund’s future yield. There is no guarantee that either the SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund or the SSGA Prime Money Market Fund will be able to avoid a negative yield. The Adviser may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably waive receipt of any or all reimbursement amounts due from a Fund, without limitation. 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, 2015, the Adviser voluntarily waived $4,582,238 of its fee and reimbursed $0 of expenses on the SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and voluntarily waived $19,375 of its fee and reimbursed $0 of expenses on the SSGA Prime Money Market Fund. Voluntary reductions subject to potential recovery by year of expiration are as follows:

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. As of February 28, 2015, $8,401,856 or 0.13% of the shares outstanding represents the investments of other Funds not presented herein.
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”) serves as the Funds’ transfer and dividend paying agent, pursuant to an agreement dated August 1, 2006, as amended. For these services, the Funds pay annual account services fees, activity based fees and charges related to compliance and regulatory services. BFDS is a joint venture of DST Systems, Inc., and State Street Corporation.
State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, provides custody and fund accounting services to the Funds pursuant to an Amended and Restated Custodian Contract dated April 11, 2012. 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.
Administrator
State Street (the “Administrator”) serves as the Trust’s Administrator, pursuant to an administration agreement dated January 1, 2013 (the “Administration Agreement”). Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator supervises certain administrative aspects of the Trust’s operations. The Trust 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 Trust: $0 to $10 billion — 0.0175%; next $10 billion — 0.0125%; next $10 billion — 0.0075% and 0.0050% thereafter. In addition, the Trust pays additional fees to the Administrator for certain services and reimburses the Administrator for out-of-pocket expenses.
Distributor and Shareholder Servicing
State Street Global Markets, LLC (the “Distributor” or “SSGM”) promotes and offers shares of the Trust pursuant to an Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement dated April 14, 2014. The Distributor may enter into agreements with other related and
| | |
22 | | Notes to Financial Statements |
SSGA Institutional Money Market Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
non-related parties which act as agents to offer and sell shares of the Funds. The amounts paid to the Distributor are included in the accompanying Statements of Operations. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under this Plan, the Trust 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 Trust and the servicing of investor accounts.
To compensate the Distributor for the services it provides and for the expenses it bears in connection with the distribution of shares of the Fund, that Fund may make payments from the assets attributable to certain classes of its shares to the Distributor under a distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Plan”). The Plan is a compensation plan that provides for payments at annual rates (based on average daily net assets) described below.
The Plan will continue in effect with respect to a class of shares of a Fund only if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of both a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust and a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or in any agreements related thereto (the “Qualified Distribution Plan Trustees”). The Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount of a Fund’s permitted expenses thereunder without the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of the affected share class and may not be materially amended in any case without a vote of the majority of both the Trustees and the Qualified Distribution Plan Trustees. At the time of adoption, none of the Independent Trustees of the Trust had a direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan. The Plan calls for payments at an annual rate (based on average net assets) of 0.25%.
Additionally, the Board approved the following limits on the amount of Rule 12b-1 fees the Distributor is reimbursed pursuant to the Plan:
| | | | |
| | 12b-1 Fee Limit | |
SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund | | | 0.04% | |
SSGA Prime Money Market Fund | | | 0.05% | |
The Plan may benefit the Funds by increasing sales of shares and reducing redemptions of shares, resulting potentially, for example, in economies of scale and more predictable flows of cash into and out of the Funds. Because Rule 12b-1 fees are paid out of a Fund’s assets, all shareholders share in that expense; however, because shareholders hold their shares through varying arrangements (for example, directly or through financial intermediaries), they may not share equally in the benefits of the Plan.
Financial intermediaries are firms that, for compensation, sell shares of mutual funds, including the Funds, and/or provide certain administrative and account maintenance services to mutual fund shareholders. Financial intermediaries may include, among others, brokers, financial planners or advisors, banks, and insurance companies.
In some cases, a financial intermediary may hold its clients’ Fund shares in nominee or street name. Shareholder services provided by a financial intermediary may (though they will not necessarily) include, among other things: processing and mailing trade confirmations, periodic statements, prospectuses, annual reports, semi-annual reports, shareholder notices, and other SEC-required communications; capturing and processing tax data; issuing and mailing dividend checks to shareholders who have selected cash distributions; preparing record date shareholder lists for proxy solicitations; collecting and posting distributions to shareholder accounts; and establishing and maintaining systematic withdrawals and automated investment plans and shareholder account registrations.
The compensation paid by the Distributor to a financial intermediary may be paid continually over time, during the period when the intermediary’s clients hold investments in the Funds. The compensation to financial intermediaries includes networking fees and account-based fees. The amount of continuing compensation paid by the Distributor to different financial intermediaries varies. Some portion of the Distributor’s payments to financial intermediaries will be made out of amounts received by the Distributor under the Funds’ Plans. In addition, certain of the Funds may reimburse the Distributor for payments the Distributor makes to financial intermediaries that provide certain recordkeeping, administrative and account

maintenance services. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated in a manner approved by the Trustees and is reviewed by the Trustees periodically. A Fund may pay distribution fees, service fees and other amounts described above at a time when shares of the Fund are not being actively promoted to new investors generally, or when shares of that Fund are unavailable for purchase.
Each Fund listed in the table below has a shareholder servicing agreement with State Street and Wealth Management Systems, an entity related to State Street. 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 Class N shares held by their clients. For the period ended February 28, 2015, the Funds paid the following shareholder servicing expenses to the agents:
| | | | | | | | |
| | State Street | | | Wealth Management Systems | |
| | | | | | | | |
SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund | | $ | 860,902 | | | $ | 85,091 | |
SSGA Prime Money Market Fund | | | 700,152 | | | | 75,091 | |
Board of Trustees
Independent Trustees are compensated on a calendar year basis. Any Trustee who is deemed to be an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Funds does not receive compensation from the Funds for his or her service as a Trustee.
Each Independent Trustee receives for his or her services to the State Street Master Funds, State Street Institutional Investment Trust and SSGA Funds, a $141,500 annual base retainer in addition to $18,000 for each in-person meeting and $2,000 for each telephonic meeting from the Trust. The Co-Chairmen each receive an additional $44,000 annual retainer. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance. As of the date of this Shareholder Report, the Trustees were not paid pension or retirement benefits as part of SSGA Funds’ expenses. However, the SSGA Funds have, pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, implemented an optional deferred compensation plan by which the Independent Trustees may defer receipt of compensation and receive a return on the deferred amount determined with reference to the performance of shares of specified SSGA Funds. As of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, none of the Independent Trustees participated in the optional deferred compensation program. The SSGA Funds’ officers are compensated by the Adviser and its affiliates.
Independent Trustees’ fees are allocated among the Trust, State Street Master Fund and State Street Institutional Investment Trust and each of their respective series in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the relative net assets of the series.
Accrued fees payable to affiliates and trustees as of February 28, 2015 were as follows:

5. | | 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 (counterparty 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 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 (credit risk). 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.

Shareholder Expense Example — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Fund’s Expense Example. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example of the Fund.
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administration 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, 2014 to February 28, 2015.
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 transaction 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | | | | | | | |
| | Actual Performance | | | Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses) | |
Beginning Account Value September 1, 2014 | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.00 | |
Ending Account Value February 28, 2015 | | $ | 1,060.40 | | | $ | 1,024.01 | |
Expenses Paid During Period* | | $ | 0.82 | | | $ | 0.80 | |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.16% (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, reimbursed and/or other credits. Without the waiver, reimbursement and/or other credits, expenses would have been higher. |

SSGA S&P 500 Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
The SSGA 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 October 3, 1987 and operates under a Second Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement, dated May 15, 2012 (the “Agreement”).
The Trust consists of eleven (11) series and corresponding classes, each of which have the same rights and privileges, including the same voting rights. Each series is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest at a $.001 par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following series (a “Fund”):
| | | | |
Fund | | Classes | | Commencement of Operations: |
SSGA S&P 500 Index Fund | | Class N | | December 30, 1992 |
The other ten (10) series are included in separate Semiannual Reports.
The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests of the State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of a separately registered investment company called State Street Master Funds. The investment objective and policies of the Portfolio are substantially similar to those of the Fund. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio (54.26% at February 28, 2015). The performance of the Fund was directly affected by the performance of the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Portfolio of Investments, are attached to this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services —Investment Companies.
2. | | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. 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 investment in the Portfolio at value. The valuation policies of the Portfolio are discussed in Note 2 of the Portfolio Notes to Financial Statements, which are attached to this report.
The Portfolio adopted provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures that define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expand 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. The summary of the inputs used for the Portfolio in valuing the Portfolio’s assets carried at fair value are discussed in Note 2 of the Portfolio Notes to Financial Statements, which are attached to this report.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions consist of the Fund’s pro-rata share of the Portfolio’s realized gains and losses. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Investment Income
Net investment income consists of the Fund’s pro-rata share of the net investment income of the Portfolio, less all expenses of the Fund.

SSGA S&P 500 Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
Federal Income Taxes
Since the Trust 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, for the year ended August 31, 2014 the Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required for the Fund.
Each Fund files a U.S. tax return. At February 28, 2015, 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. The Funds may be subject to potential examinations by certain taxing authorities for all open tax years (the current and prior years, as applicable). There are no examinations 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 Fund 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, 2014, the Fund had no tax basis capital loss carryforwards.
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 federal tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes. These differences relate primarily to investments in futures, losses deferred due to wash sales and REITs. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting are reclassified to paid-in capital.
Expenses
Expenses allocated from the 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 Trust which cannot be directly attributed will be allocated among all funds of the Trust based principally on their relative net assets.
Contractual Obligation/Indemnification
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and obligations including 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, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

4. | | Related Party Transactions, Fees and Expenses |
Adviser and Affiliates
The Fund is allocated a charge for a management fee from the Portfolio, calculated daily at an annual rate of 0.045% of average daily net assets. This fee relates to the advisory, custody and administration services fees provided by the Portfolio on behalf of its investors. SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) manages the Fund pursuant to an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement dated April 14, 2014, between the Trust and the Adviser. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, a publicly held bank holding company. The Adviser and other advisory affiliates of State Street Corporation make up State Street Global Advisors, the investment management arms of State Street Corporation and its affiliated companies. The Adviser directs the investments of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives, policies, and limitations.
The Adviser is contractually obligated until December 31, 2015 to waive its management fee and to reimburse the Fund for all expenses to the extent that total expenses (exclusive of non-recurring account fees, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees) exceed 0.13% of average daily net assets on an annual basis. The total amount of the reimbursement for the period ended February 28, 2015 was $0. The Adviser does not have the ability to recover these amounts waived or reimbursed under this contractual agreement.
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”) serves as the Fund’s transfer and dividend paying agent, pursuant to an agreement dated August 1, 2006, as amended. For these services, the Fund pays annual account services fees, activity based fees and charges related to compliance and regulatory services. BFDS is a joint venture of DST Systems, Inc., and State Street Corporation.
State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) provides 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. State Street is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation.
Administrator
State Street (the “Administrator”) serves as the Trust’s Administrator, pursuant to an administration agreement dated January 1, 2013 (the “Administration Agreement”). Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator supervises certain administrative aspects of the Trust’s operations. The Trust 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 Investment Company: $0 to $10 billion — 0.0175%; next $10 billion — 0.0125%; next $10 billion — 0.0075% and 0.0050% thereafter. In addition, the Investment Company pays additional fees to the Administrator for certain services and reimburses the Administrator for out-of-pocket expenses.
Distributor and Shareholder Servicing
State Street Global Markets, LLC (the “Distributor” or “SSGM”) promotes and offers shares of the Trust pursuant to an Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement dated April 14, 2014. The Distributor may enter into agreements with other related and non-related parties which act as agents to offer and sell shares of the Fund. The amounts paid to the Distributor are included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation. The Fund has entered into 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 Fund and the servicing of investor accounts.
The Trust has adopted a shareholder service agreement with State Street, and the following entities related to State Street: SSGM, 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 0.05%.

12 | | Notes to Financial Statements |
SSGA S&P 500 Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
To compensate the Distributor for the services it provides and for the expenses it bears in connection with the distribution of shares of the Fund, the Fund may make payments from the assets attributable to certain classes of its shares to the Distributor under a distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Plan”). The Plan is a compensation plan that provides for payments at annual rates (based on average daily net assets) described below.
The Plan will continue in effect with respect to a class of shares of a Fund only if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of both a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust and a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or in any agreements related thereto (the “Qualified Distribution Plan Trustees”). The Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount of a Fund’s permitted expenses thereunder without the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of the affected share class and may not be materially amended in any case without a vote of the majority of both the Trustees and the Qualified Distribution Plan Trustees. At the time of adoption, none of the Independent Trustees of the Trust had a direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan. The Plan calls for payments at an annual rate (based on average net assets) of 0.25%.
Additionally, the Board approved an Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement which includes a limit of 0.062% on the amount of Rule 12b-1 fees the Distributor is reimbursed pursuant to the Plan.
The Plan may benefit the Fund by increasing sales of shares and reducing redemptions of shares, resulting potentially, for example, in economies of scale and more predictable flows of cash into and out of the Fund. Because Rule 12b-1 fees are paid out of a Fund’s assets, all shareholders share in that expense; however, because shareholders hold their shares through varying arrangements (for example, directly or through financial intermediaries), they may not share equally in the benefits of the Plan.
Financial intermediaries are firms that, for compensation, sell shares of mutual funds, including the Fund, and/or provide certain administrative and account maintenance services to mutual fund shareholders. Financial intermediaries may include, among others, brokers, financial planners or advisors, banks, and insurance companies.
In some cases, a financial intermediary may hold its clients’ Fund shares in nominee or street name. Shareholder services provided by a financial intermediary may (though they will not necessarily) include, among other things: processing and mailing trade confirmations, periodic statements, prospectuses, annual reports, semi-annual reports, shareholder notices, and other SEC-required communications; capturing and processing tax data; issuing and mailing dividend checks to shareholders who have selected cash distributions; preparing record date shareholder lists for proxy solicitations; collecting and posting distributions to shareholder accounts; and establishing and maintaining systematic withdrawals and automated investment plans and shareholder account registrations.
The compensation paid by the Distributor to a financial intermediary may be paid continually over time, during the period when the intermediary’s clients hold investments in the Fund. The compensation to financial intermediaries includes networking fees and account-based fees. The amount of continuing compensation paid by the Distributor to different financial intermediaries varies.
Some portion of the Distributor’s payments to financial intermediaries will be made out of amounts received by the Distributor under the Fund’s Plans. In addition, certain of the Funds may reimburse the Distributor for payments the Distributor makes to financial intermediaries that provide certain recordkeeping, administrative and account maintenance services. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated in a manner approved by the Trustees and is reviewed by the Trustees periodically.
A Fund may pay distribution fees, service fees and other amounts described above at a time when shares of the Fund are not being actively promoted to new investors generally, or when shares of that Fund are unavailable for purchase.
For the period ended February 28, 2015, the Fund paid the following shareholder servicing expenses to the Agents:

Board of Trustees
Independent Trustees are compensated on a calendar year basis. Any Trustee who is deemed to be an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Funds does not receive compensation from the Funds for his or her service as a Trustee.
Each Independent Trustee receives for his or her services to the State Street Master Funds, State Street Institutional Investment Trust and SSGA Funds, a $141,500 annual base retainer in addition to $18,000 for each in-person meeting and $2,000 for each telephonic meeting from the Trust. The Co-Chairmen each receive an additional $44,000 annual retainer. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance. As of the date of this Shareholder Report, the Trustees were not paid pension or retirement benefits as part of SSGA Funds’ expenses. However, the SSGA Funds have, pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, implemented an optional deferred compensation plan by which the Independent Trustees may defer receipt of compensation and receive a return on the deferred amount determined with reference to the performance of shares of specified SSGA Funds. As of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, none of the Independent Trustees participated in the optional deferred compensation program. The SSGA Funds’ officers are compensated by the Adviser and its affiliates.
Independent Trustees’ fees are allocated among the Trust, State Street Master Fund and State Street Institutional Investment Trust and each of their respective series in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the relative net assets of the series.
Accrued fees payable to affiliates and trustees as of February 28, 2015 were as follows:

6. | | Interfund Lending Program |
The Fund participates in a joint lending and borrowing facility (the “Interfund Lending Program”). 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 Interfund Lending Program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements or shortterm reserves. The Fund will borrow through the Interfund Lending 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

SSGA S&P 500 Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
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, 2015, the Fund did not utilize the Interfund Lending Program.
7. | | 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 (counterparty 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 at the quoted daily settlement price at the end of each day on the exchange upon which they are traded. 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. Investments in other mutual fund are valued at the net asset value per share. 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. |

Portfolio of Investments, continued — February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
The Portfolio adopted provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures that define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. These provisions apply to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and are intended to increase the consistency of those measurements and apply 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, 2015, in valuing the Portfolio’s assets carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

For the two months ended February 28, 2015, there were no transfers between levels.
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 Asset 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 the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requirements.

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.
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. 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 discloses the amounts related to the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and hedging activities at February 28, 2015:
Asset Derivatives (1)

State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements — December 31, 2014
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 consists of ten investment portfolios: State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio, State Street Equity 400 Index Portfolio, State Street Equity 2000 Index Portfolio, State Street Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio, State Street Money Market Portfolio, State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, State Street Limited Duration Bond Portfolio, State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio, State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio and 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, 2014, the following Portfolios were operational: State Street Money Market Portfolio, State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio, State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio and 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 U.S. There is no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its objective.
The Portfolio is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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 at the quoted daily settlement price at the end of each day on the exchange upon which they are traded. 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. Investments in other mutual funds are valued at the net asset value per share. 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 define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expand 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 apply 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 December 31, 2014, in valuing the Portfolio’s assets carried at fair value:

For the year ended December 31, 2014, there were no transfers between levels.
Securities Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. 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 on a daily basis 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, 2014, 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, 2014, tax years 2011 through 2013 remain subject to examination by the Portfolio’s major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2014
At December 31, 2014, the tax cost of investments was $1,377,110,434 on a federal tax basis. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation was $1,513,888,774 and $14,734,865, respectively, resulting in net appreciation of $1,499,153,909 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 benchmark and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. 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, 2014:

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, 2014 is listed in the Portfolio of Investments.
Independent Trustees are compensated on a calendar year basis. Any Trustee who is deemed to be an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Funds does not receive compensation from the Funds for his or her service as a Trustee.
Each Independent Trustee receives for his or her services to the State Street Master Funds, State Street Institutional Investment Trust and SSGA Funds, a $141,500 annual base retainer in addition to $18,000 for each in-person meeting and $2,000 for each telephonic meeting from the Trust. The Trust will bear a pro rata allocation based on the Trust’s average monthly assets. The Co-Chairmen each receive an additional $44,000 annual retainer. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance. As of the date of this Report, the Trustees were not paid pension or retirement benefits as part of the Trust’s expenses.
The Trust’s officers are compensated by the Adviser and its affiliates.
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.
On August 11, 2014, the State Street Equity 500 Index Fund redeemed its interest in the Portfolio in connection with a transfer of net assets to the State Street Equity 500 Index II Portfolio, a series of State Street Institutional Investment Trust. The transfer consisted of five hundred and three (503) securities totaling $387,955,841 at market value or 13% of the Portfolio and $2,852,336 in cash, and is disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

8. Line of Credit
The Portfolio and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) share in a $300 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks. The Participants may borrow for the purpose of meeting shareholder redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is calculated based on the unused portion of the shared credit line. Commitment fees are allocated among each of the Participants based on net assets. Commitment fees are ordinary fund operating expenses and are paid by the Adviser. A Participant incurs and pays the interest expense related to its borrowing. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. The Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its assets. The Portfolio had no outstanding loans during the period ended December 31, 2014.

State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Owners of Beneficial Interest of State Street Master Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting State Street Master Funds) (the “Portfolio”) as of December 31, 2014, 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, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. 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 (one of the portfolios constituting State Street Master Funds) at December 31, 2014, 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.
