SSGA Funds
STATE STREET S&P 500 INDEX FUND
Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2021 (Unaudited)

1.    Organization
The SSGA Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.
As of February 28, 2021, the Trust consists of three (3) series (and corresponding classes, each of which have the same rights and privileges, including voting rights), each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following series (the “Fund”):
Fund Classes Commencement of Operations Diversification Classification
State Street S&P 500 Index Fund Class N December 30, 1992 Diversified
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation
The Fund's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of the Fund are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
•   Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last published sale price or at fair value.
•   Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”) per share or unit.
•   Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price on the primary market on which they are traded most extensively. Exchange-traded futures contracts traded on a recognized exchange for which
14


SSGA Funds
STATE STREET S&P 500 INDEX FUND  (continued)
Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2021 (Unaudited)

there were no sales on that day are valued at the last reported sale price obtained from independent pricing services or brokers or at fair value.
In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that the application of these valuation methods results in a price for an investment that is deemed to be not representative of the fair value of such investment, fair value will be determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.
The Fund values its assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
•   Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
•   Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
The value of the Fund’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of February 28, 2021 is disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale and disposition of investments are determined using the identified cost method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, or when the information becomes available, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value.
The Fund invests in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). REITs determine the tax character of their distributions annually and may characterize a portion of their distributions as a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund’s policy is to record all REIT distributions initially as dividend income and re-designate a portion of the capital or capital gains distributions at year end based on information provided by the REIT and/or SSGA Funds Management, Inc.’s (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) estimates of such re-designations for which actual information has not yet been reported.
Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and relative net assets of the Fund within the Trust.

STATE STREET S&P 500 INDEX FUND  (continued)
Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2021 (Unaudited)

Distributions
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually, unless additional distributions are required for compliance with applicable tax regulations. The amount and character of income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with applicable tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.
3.    Derivative Financial Instruments
Futures Contracts
The Fund may enter into futures contracts to meet its objectives. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the clearing house. Securities deposited, if any, are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is included in Net cash at broker on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value, accumulated, exchange rates, and or other transactional fees. The accumulation of those payments are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.
Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to unfavorable changes in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk that the movements in the price of the futures contracts do not correlate with the movement of the assets underlying such contracts.
For the period ended February 28, 2021, the Fund entered into futures contracts for cash equitization, to reduce tracking error and to facilitate daily liquidity.
The following tables summarize the value of the Fund's derivative instruments as of February 28, 2021, and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

4.    Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory Fee
The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSGA FM. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Global Advisors, Inc., which itself is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation. For its advisory services, the Fund pays the Adviser a management fee at an annual rate of 0.03% of its average daily net assets. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
The Adviser is contractually obligated until December 31, 2021 to waive up to the full amount of advisory fee payable by the Fund and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that total annual Fund operating expenses exceed 0.157% of average daily net assets on an annual basis. This waiver and/or reimbursement may not be terminated prior to December 31, 2021 except with the approval of the Board. During the period ended February 28, 2021, SSGA FM agreed to reimburse fees of $165,001.
Administrator, Sub-Administrator, and Custodian Fees
SSGA FM serves as administrator and State Street, an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as custodian and sub-administrator. For its administrative services, the Fund pays SSGA FM a fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of its average daily net assets. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. SSGA FM has contractually agreed to waive 0.01% of its administration fee. The waiver may not be terminated or modified except with the approval of the Board and shall continue until at least December 31, 2021. For the period ended February 28, 2021, SSGA FM waived fees in the amount of $73,925. The Adviser and the Fund each bear a portion of the fee paid to State Street for providing sub-administration and custodian services with respect to the Fund.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors, LLC (“SSGA FD” or the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the distributor of the Trust.
The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, under which the Fund may compensate the Distributor (or others) for services in connection with the distribution of the Fund’s Class N shares and for services provided to shareholders in that class (the “Plan”).
The Plan calls for payments at an annual rate (based on average daily net assets) of 0.25% of the Fund’s net assets attributable to its Class N shares. In addition to payments under the Plan, the Fund may reimburse the Distributor or its affiliates for payments it makes to financial intermediaries that provide certain administrative, recordkeeping, and account maintenance services. The amount of the reimbursement and the manner in which it is calculated are reviewed by the Trustees periodically.
Additionally, the Board approved a limit of 0.062% of average daily net assets on the amount of Rule 12b-1 fees paid to the Distributor.
Other Transactions with Affiliates - Securities Lending
State Street, an affiliate of the Fund, acts as the securities lending agent for the Fund, pursuant to an amended and restated securities lending authorization agreement dated January 6, 2017, as amended December 7, 2018.

Proceeds collected by State Street on investment of cash collateral or any fee income are allocated as follows (after deduction of such other amounts payable to State Street under the terms of the securities lending agreement): 85% payable to the Fund, and 15% payable to State Street.
In addition, cash collateral from lending activities is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Portfolio II, an affiliated fund, for which SSGA FM serves as investment adviser. See Note 8 for additional information regarding securities lending.
Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street Corporation, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Fund owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the period ended February 28, 2021 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
5.    Trustees’ Fees
The fees and expenses of the Trust’s trustees, who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), are paid directly by the Fund. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.
6.    Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions, derivative contracts and short term investments) for the period ended February 28, 2021, were as follows:
  Purchases   Sales
State Street S&P 500 Index Fund

$35,775,547   $311,798,969
7.    Income Tax Information
The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.
The Fund files federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. As of August 31, 2020, SSGA FM has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
As of February 28, 2021, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments and other financial instruments based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

8.    Securities Lending
The Fund may lend securities to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The value of the collateral with respect to a loaned security may be temporarily more or less than the value of a security due to market fluctuations of securities values. With respect to each loan, if on any U.S. business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are subject to the loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral on the next business day.
The Fund will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. In addition, a Fund will bear the risk of loss of any cash collateral that it may invest. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as the lending agent. Additionally, the Fund will receive a fee from the borrower for non-cash collateral equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities.
The market value of securities on loan as of February 28, 2021, and the value of the invested cash collateral are disclosed in the Fund's Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral is not disclosed in the Fund's Statements of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund, and the Fund does not have the ability to re-hypothecate those securities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Fund's Statements of Operations, represents the income earned from the non-cash collateral and the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as lending agent.
The following is a summary of the Fund’s securities lending agreements and related cash and non-cash collateral received as of February 28, 2021:

9.    Line of Credit
The Fund and other affiliated funds (each, a “Participant” and collectively, the “Participants”) have access to $200 million of a $500 million revolving credit facility, provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires in October 2021 unless extended or renewed.

SSGA Funds
STATE STREET S&P 500 INDEX FUND  (continued)
Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2021 (Unaudited)

The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is calculated based on the unused portion of the shared credit line. Commitment fees are allocated among each of the Participants based on relative net assets. Commitment fees are ordinary fund operating expenses. A participant incurs and pays the interest expense related to its borrowing. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1.25% plus the New York Fed Bank Rate. Prior to October 8, 2020, interest was calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate.
The Fund had no outstanding loans as of February 28, 2021.
10.    Risks
Credit Risk
The Fund may be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Market Risk
The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, and general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets experienced and may continue to experience extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments was and may continue to be disrupted as a result. Liquidity for many instruments was and may continue to be greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to a Fund by its service providers.
11.    Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This 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. It is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from September 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021.
The table below illustrates your Fund’s cost in two ways:
Based on actual fund return ——This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund's actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.
Based on hypothetical 5% return ——This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in 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, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Liquidity Risk Management Program
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”). SSGA FM has been designated by the Board to administer the Fund's Program. The Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Fund. Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. During the fiscal year, SSGA FM provided the Board with a report addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and the effectiveness of the Program’s implementation for the period October 2019 through September 2020. As reported to the Board, the Program supported each Fund’s ability to honor redemption requests timely and SSGA FM’s management of each Fund’s liquidity profile, including during periods of market volatility. SSGA FM reported that the Program operated adequately to meet the requirements of Rule 22e-4 and that the implementation of the Program has been effective.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2021 (Unaudited)

1.    Organization
The SSGA Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.
As of February 28, 2021, the Trust consists of three (3) series (and corresponding classes, each of which have the same rights and privileges, including voting rights), each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following series (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”):
Fund Classes Commencement of
Operations

Classification
State Street Defensive Emerging Markets Equity Fund Class A

Class N

July 7, 2014
July 7, 2014
March 7, 1995
Diversified
Class A shares are available to the general public for investment through transaction-based financial intermediaries. Class A shares impose a sales charge (as a percentage of offering price) and may be subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase of an investment of $1,000,000 or more and the shares are redeemed within 18 months of purchase. Class I, Class K and Class N shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation
Each Fund's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
25


SSGA FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
February 28, 2021 (Unaudited)

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
•   Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last published sale price or at fair value.
•   Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”) per share or unit.
•   Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price on the primary market on which they are traded most extensively. Exchange-traded futures contracts traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last reported sale price obtained from independent pricing services or brokers or at fair value.
In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that the application of these valuation methods results in a price for an investment that is deemed to be not representative of the fair value of such investment, fair value will be determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.
A “significant event” is an event that the Board believes, with a reasonably high degree of certainty, has caused the closing market prices of a Fund’s portfolio securities to no longer reflect their value at the time of the Fund’s net asset value calculation. Fair value may be determined using an independent fair value service under valuation procedures approved by the Board. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of foreign securities exchanges. The use of the independent fair value service or alternative fair valuation methods would result in the investments being classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. At February 28, 2021, the independent fair value service was used for certain foreign securities in the State Street Defensive Emerging Markets Equity Fund and State Street International Stock Selection Fund. These securities were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments.
The Funds value their assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
•   Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
•   Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
26


SSGA FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
February 28, 2021 (Unaudited)

The value of each Fund’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of February 28, 2021, is disclosed in each Fund’s respective Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments and foreign exchange transactions, if any, are determined using the identified cost method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, or when the information becomes available, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Funds may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains.
Certain Funds invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”). REITs determine the tax character of their distributions annually and may characterize a portion of their distributions as a return of capital or capital gain. The Funds’ policy is to record all REIT distributions initially as dividend income and re-designate a portion of the capital or capital gains distributions at year end based on information provided by the REIT and/or SSGA Funds Management, Inc.’s (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) estimates of such re-designations for which actual information has not yet been reported.
Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Funds within the Trust. Class specific expenses are borne by each class.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars using exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with SSGA FM's understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of February 28, 2021, if any, are disclosed in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As a result of several court cases, in certain countries across the European Union ("EU'), the Funds filed for additional tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in those countries. These additional filings are subject to various administrative proceedings by the local jurisdictions’ tax authorities within the EU, as well as a number of related judicial proceedings. Income recognized for such EU reclaims is reflected in the Statement of Operations. When uncertainty exists as to the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these EU reclaims, and the potential timing of payment, no amounts are reflected in the financial statements.
27


SSGA FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
February 28, 2021 (Unaudited)

For U.S. income tax purposes, EU reclaims received by a Fund, if any, reduce the amounts of foreign taxes a Fund's shareholders can use as tax credits in their individual income tax returns. In the event that EU reclaims received by a Fund during the fiscal year exceed foreign withholding taxes paid, and a Fund previously passed foreign tax credit on to its shareholders, the Fund will enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in order to pay the associated tax liability on behalf of the Fund's shareholders. During the period ended February 28, 2021, the State Street Defensive Emerging Markets Equity Fund received EU reclaims in excess of the foreign taxes paid during the year in the amount of $426,258, which is reduced by estimated taxes and fees of $140,835, and included in other income, net of taxes and fees on the Statements of Operations.
Distributions
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually, unless additional distributions are required for compliance with applicable tax regulations. The amount and character of income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with applicable tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.
3.    Derivative Financial Instruments
Futures Contracts
The Funds may enter into futures contracts to meet the Funds’ objectives. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the clearing house. Securities deposited, if any, are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is included in Net cash at broker on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds equal to the daily change in the contract value, accumulated, exchange rates, and or other transactional fees. The accumulation of those payments are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.
Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to unfavorable changes in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk that the movements in the price of the futures contracts do not correlate with the movement of the assets underlying such contracts.
For the period ended February 28, 2021, the following Funds entered into futures contracts for the strategies listed below:

For the period ended February 28, 2021, the total administration fees waived pursuant to the waiver agreement were as follows:
  Amount Waived
State Street Defensive Emerging Markets Equity Fund

$2,193
State Street International Stock Selection Fund

8,837
The Adviser and the Funds each bear a portion of the fee paid to State Street for providing sub-administration and custodian services with respect to the Funds.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors, LLC (“SSGA FD” or the “Distributor”) an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the distributor of the Trust.
The Funds, with the exception of the State Street Defensive Emerging Markets Equity Fund Class N shares, adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, under which a Fund may compensate the Distributor (or others) for services in connection with the distribution of the Fund’s Class A and Class N shares and for services provided to shareholders in those classes (the “Plan”).
The Plan calls for payments at an annual rate (based on average daily net assets) of 0.25% of a Fund’s net assets attributable to its Class A shares and 0.25% of a Fund’s net assets attributable to its Class N shares. In addition to payments under the Plan, the Funds may reimburse the Distributor or its affiliates for payments it makes to financial intermediaries that provide certain administrative, recordkeeping, and account maintenance services. The amount of the reimbursement and the manner in which it is calculated are reviewed by the Trustees periodically.
With respect to the Class N shares of the State Street Defensive Emerging Markets Equity Fund, the Trust has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Historical Class N Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under the Historical Class N Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments to the Distributor, or any shareholder servicing agent, for services in connection with the distribution of Class N shares of the State Street Defensive Emerging

Markets Equity Fund and the servicing of investor accounts. Payments to the Distributor for the sale and distribution of these Class N shares are not permitted to exceed 0.25% of the State Street Defensive Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s average annual net assets. Payments to financial intermediaries providing shareholder services to the Fund are not permitted by the Historical Class N Plan to exceed 0.20% of average annual net assets.
Other Transactions with Affiliates - Securities Lending
State Street, an affiliate of the Funds, acts as the securities lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to an amended and restated securities lending authorization agreement dated January 6, 2017, as amended December 7, 2018.
Proceeds collected by State Street on investment of cash collateral or any fee income are allocated as follows (after deduction of such other amounts payable to State Street under the terms of the securities lending agreement): 85% payable to the Fund, and 15% payable to State Street.
In addition, cash collateral from lending activities is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Portfolio II, an affiliated fund, for which SSGA FM serves as investment adviser. See Note 8 for additional information regarding securities lending.
Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Funds may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street Corporation, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Funds owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the period ended February 28, 2021 are disclosed in the Funds' respective Schedules of Investments.
Due to Custodian
In certain circumstances, the Fund may have cash overdrafts with the custodian due to expense payments, capital transactions, trading of securities, investment operations or derivative transactions. The Due to custodian amount, if any, reflects cash overdrawn with State Street, as custodian, who is an affiliate of the Fund.
5.    Trustees’ Fees
The fees and expenses of the Trust’s trustees, who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), are paid directly by the Funds. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.
6.    Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions, derivative contracts and short term investments) for the period ended February 28, 2021, were as follows:
  Purchases   Sales
State Street Defensive Emerging Markets Equity Fund

$ 3,812,680   $ 7,293,901
State Street International Stock Selection Fund

90,447,986   98,393,372
7.    Income Tax Information
The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.

SSGA FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
February 28, 2021 (Unaudited)

The Funds file federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. As of August 31, 2020, SSGA FM has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
As of February 28, 2021, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments and other financial instruments based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
  Tax

  Gross

166,558,600   23,831,883   4,818,529   19,013,354
8.    Securities Lending
Each Fund may lend securities to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The value of the collateral with respect to a loaned security may be temporarily more or less than the value of a security due to market fluctuations of securities values. With respect to each loan, if on any U.S. business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are subject to the loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral on the next business day.
The Funds will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. In addition, a Fund will bear the risk of loss of any cash collateral that it may invest. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as the lending agent. Additionally, a Fund will receive a fee from the borrower for non-cash collateral equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities.
The market value of securities on loan as of February 28, 2021, and the value of the invested cash collateral are disclosed in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral is not disclosed in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Funds, and the Funds do not have the ability to re-hypothecate those securities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Funds' Statements of Operations, represents the income earned from the non-cash collateral and the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as lending agent.
The following is a summary of each Fund’s securities lending agreements and related cash and non-cash collateral received as of February 28, 2021:

9.    Line of Credit
The Funds and other affiliated funds (each, a “Participant” and collectively, the “Participants”) have access to $200 million of a $500 million revolving credit facility, provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires in October 2021 unless extended or renewed.
The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is calculated based on the unused portion of the shared credit line. Commitment fees are allocated among each of the Participants based on relative net assets. Commitment fees are ordinary fund operating expenses. A participant incurs and pays the interest expense related to its borrowing. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1.25% plus the New York Fed Bank Rate. Prior to October 8, 2020, interest was calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate.
The Funds had no outstanding loans as of February 28, 2021.
10.    Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Funds’ ability to invest a large percentage of their assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Funds’ investments more than if the Funds were more broadly diversified.
Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk
Investing in foreign markets involves risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of government regulation, economic, political and social instability in the countries in which a Fund invests. Foreign markets may be less liquid than investments in the U.S. and may be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations. To the extent that a Fund invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be even more pronounced.
Credit Risk
Each Fund may be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which a Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Market Risk
Each Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, and general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Funds are subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the
33

spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets experienced and may continue to experience extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments was and may continue to be disrupted as a result. Liquidity for many instruments was and may continue to be greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to a Fund by its service providers.
11.    Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from September 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021.
The table below illustrates your Fund’s cost in two ways:
Based on actual fund return ——This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from each Fund's actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in each Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.
Based on hypothetical 5% return ——This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in 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, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Liquidity Risk Management Program
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”). SSGA FM has been designated by the Board to administer the Funds’ Program. The Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Fund. Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. During the fiscal year, SSGA FM provided the Board with a report addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and the effectiveness of the Program’s implementation for the period October 2019 through September 2020. As reported to the Board, the Program supported each Fund’s ability to honor redemption requests timely and SSGA FM’s management of each Fund’s liquidity profile, including during periods of market volatility. SSGA FM reported that the Program operated adequately to meet the requirements of Rule 22e-4 and that the implementation of the Program has been effective.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.
Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures and Record
