State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

Q. How did the State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund perform compared to its benchmark and Morningstar peer group for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2017?

 

A. For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2017, the State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund returned 18.29% for the Investment Class shares and 18.07% for the Service Class shares. The Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index returned 18.61% and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 1,396 U.S. Large Blend funds returned an average of 17.65% over the same period.

 

Q. What market conditions impacted the Fund’s performance?

 

A. It was a year of cross-currents, but U.S. equities enjoyed solid gains. Uncertainty characterized the commencement of the reporting period. At times, both safe haven investments and riskier growth assets came under pressure preceding the largely unanticipated presidential victory of Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. Post-election expectations of higher interest rates and less regulation propelled a rally in financials and other cyclical sectors on the outlook for increased fiscal stimulus programs. U.S. Treasury yields rose initially and the broad U.S. dollar reached a thirteen-year high in late November — a trend that would continue through the end of 2016.

 

     At the start of 2017, there were a few pauses in the reflationary theme as political and policy concerns weighed on the market at times. However, any hesitation was eventually met with improving company fundamentals and further reassurance from positive economic signals. Undeterred by a generally lower inflation outlook, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates two times during the year to a limited market reaction.

 

     In the last several months of the period, U.S. equity markets displayed impressive resilience against rising geopolitical threats and an administration that is punctuated with strong growth oriented rhetoric but no realized results. Nonetheless global markets scaled a wall of worry, bolstered by widespread positive sentiment.

 

     The large cap style of growth outperformed value reversing last year’s underperformance with information technology and industrials leading the outperformance. In particular, technology stocks continued to show exceptional earnings growth. There were several sectors that underperformed the S&P 500 Index broad market return, including energy, utilities, consumer discretionary/staples, and healthcare.

 

Q. What were the drivers behind Fund performance?

 

A. The Fund outperformed the average Morningstar U.S. Large Blend manager, but modestly underperformed the S&P 500 Index net of fees. For the year, stock selection was mixed, with positive contributions in six sectors, and neutral-to negative relative performance in five. Industrials offered the best relative performance, as equipment rental company United Rentals enjoyed relief from rising oil prices early in the year, as well as a boost from the outlook for rebuilding activity following a devastating hurricane season at year-end. Allegion, Ingersoll Rand and General Dynamics also outperformed against a generally constructive macro backdrop. The Fund’s Technology and Financials holdings outperformed, with notable contributions from Applied Materials, Western Digital, Visa, Bank of America and Charles Schwab.

 

     The health care sector was the greatest performance detractor, experiencing ups and downs, offering several cross-currents during the year (e.g., health care stocks initially rallied from an oversold position on the Trump win, then health care became a source of funds as investors embraced more cyclical themes). While names like Biogen Idec, Vertex and Merck rallied strongly, their contributions were more than offset by lagging performance in Medtronic, Allergan and Gilead all of which were down during the year. Mixed stock selection in Consumer Discretionary stocks also trimmed the Fund’s relative performance, with pullbacks in Newell, Autozone and Liberty Global offsetting strength in Charter Communications, Time Warner and Amazon.

 

     The Fund does not invest in derivatives securities as part of its strategy, but may hold futures contracts or ETFs to equitize cash flows in advance of investment. The effect of derivatives on performance was de minimis for the year.

 

Q. Were there any significant changes in the Fund during the period?

 

A. The Fund continued its diversified, active research-driven approach to U.S. Equity investing. It has been a multi-manager Fund since inception in 1997, and under took a periodic restructuring in January, 2017, going from three managers (core, value and growth managers) to two core managers benchmarked against the S&P 500 Index — one diversified research-driven and one employing a concentrated, high-conviction approach.

     At the end of the period, the Fund was positioned for late-cycle economic growth, consistent with our economic outlook. Among sectors, Investment Technology was the largest absolute weighting as the sector where we find many high-quality companies with the sustainable earnings growth at reasonable valuations that we favor. Health Care, Consumer Discretionary, Financials and Information Technology represented key sector overweights vs. the S&P 500 Index. The cyclical sectors were generally underweighted, including Consumer Staples, Telecommunications, Industrials and Materials.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees (for Service Class shares) and trustees’ fees. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended September 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your class under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

State Street Institutional S&P 500 Index Fund

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

Q. How did the State Street Institutional S&P 500 Index Fund perform compared to its benchmark and Morningstar peer group for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2017?

 

A. For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2017, the State Street Institutional S&P 500 Index Fund returned 18.08% for the Investment Class shares and 17.84% for the Service Class shares. The Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index returned 18.61% and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 1,396 U.S. Large Blend funds returned an average of 17.65% over the same period.

 

Q. What market conditions impacted the Fund’s performance?

 

A. In the last quarter of 2016 the S&P 500 Index rallied over 3.8% after the surprise outcome of the U.S. presidential election and the Federal Reserve’s strong outlook on the economy. In 2017 the S&P 500 Index continued the trend and posted positive gains every month reaching new all-time highs and witnessing better than two decade lows in both realized and implied volatility during that period. The U.S. markets rally was supported by strong macro data, a positive start to the earnings season, and strong M&A activity despite continued geopolitical and political risks in North Korea. Strongest performing sectors in the S&P 500 Index were Cyclical Financials, Information Technology and Industrials, while defensive sectors like Telecommunication Services, Energy and Real Estate were the weakest performers.

 

Q. What were the drivers behind Fund performance?

 

A. Apple, Microsoft and JPMorgan Chase were the strongest contributors to the Fund’s performance. General Electric, Qualcomm, and Exxon Mobile were the weakest contributors to the Fund’s performance.

The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended September 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your class under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

State Street Institutional Premier Growth Equity Fund

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

Q. How did the State Street Institutional Premier Growth Equity Fund perform compared to its benchmarks and Morningstar peer group for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2017?

 

A. For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2017, the State Street Institutional Premier Growth Equity Fund returned 21.18% for the Investment Class shares and 20.84% for the Service Class shares. The Fund’s benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 1000 Growth Index returned 18.61% and 21.94%, respectively, and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 1,398 U.S. Large Growth funds returned an average of 19.75% over the same period.

 

Q. What market conditions impacted the Fund’s performance?

 

A. It was a year of cross-currents, but U.S. Equities enjoyed solid gains. Uncertainty characterized the commencement of the reporting period. At times, both safe haven investments and riskier growth assets came under pressure preceding the largely unanticipated presidential victory of Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. Post-election expectations of higher interest rates and less regulation propelled a rally in financials and other cyclical sectors on the outlook for increased fiscal stimulus programs. U.S. Treasury yields rose initially, and the broad U.S. dollar reached a thirteen-year high in late November — a trend that would continue through the end of 2016.

 

     At the start of 2017, there were a few pauses in the reflationary theme as political and policy concerns weighed on the market at times. However, any hesitation was eventually met with improving company fundamentals and further reassurance from positive economic signals. Undeterred by a generally lower inflation outlook, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates two times during the year to a limited market reaction.

 

     In the last several months of the period, U.S. equity markets displayed impressive resilience against rising geopolitical threats and an administration that is punctuated with strong growth oriented rhetoric but no realized results. Nonetheless, global markets scaled a wall of worry, bolstered by widespread positive sentiment.

 

     The large cap style of growth outperformed value reversing last year’s underperformance with information technology and industrials leading the outperformance. In particular, technology stocks continued to show exceptional earnings growth. There were several sectors that underperformed the S&P 500 Index broad market return, including energy, utilities, consumer discretionary/staples, and healthcare. Energy was the worst performing sector in the Russell 1000 Growth, driven by commodity weakness and the only one to post a negative return during the period.

 

Q. What were the drivers behind Fund performance

 

A. The Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index but incrementally underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index. Most of the relative underperformance occurred in the fourth calendar quarter of 2016 which was a challenging time as the market quickly rotated away from secular growth stories to more cyclical plays upon the Trump election. While the portfolio was well positioned within financials to benefit from rising interest rates, headwinds in the health care sector weighed most on relative performance as investors used health care stocks as a source of funds for investments in sectors more leveraged to infrastructure spending (industrials, materials), rising rates (financials) and oil price recovery (energy).

 

     Momentum soon reversed, and the Fund started 2017 on strong footing, recapturing the performance lost in the initial Trump trade within the first three months of the year. Some of the capital that fled the healthcare sector seemed to make its way back and the Fund’s biotechnology and medical devices holdings outperformed. The Fund’s media holdings also outperformed in early 2017.

 

     For the full twelve months, The Fund’s sole Industrials holding was a key performance contributor. Equipment rental company, United Rentals benefited from a recovery in U.S. oil production and massive rebuilding efforts following 2017’s devastating hurricane season. American Tower, a growth oriented operator of cell towers, outperformed traditional REIT peers. Selected technology stocks performed well, including Alibaba, Applied Materials and Visa. Some other top-performers in this high-conviction Fund included Charles Schwab and CME in Financials, Charter Communications and Sirius XM in Media, and Vertex, Cooper and Biogen in Health Care. However, the Health Care sector detracted from relative performance due to pullbacks in Allergan, Medtronic and Gilead which was eliminated during the year. Qualcomm and Baidu also weighed on results within Technology, and were sold from the Fund. Other relative underperformers included Liberty Global, Disney and Lowe’s in Consumer Discretionary and Schlumberger in Energy.

     The Fund does not invest in derivatives securities as part of its strategy, but may hold futures contracts or ETFs to equitize cash flows in advance of investment. The effect of derivatives on performance was de minimis for the year.

 

Q. Were there any significant changes in the Fund during the period?

 

A. William Sandow, a senior research analyst covering biotechnology and pharmaceutical stocks on our U.S. Growth portfolio management team, joined Dave Carlson as a Co-Portfolio Manager on the U.S. Premier Growth Equity strategy effective September 1, 2017. Dave remains lead portfolio manager for the Fund, involved in all aspects of portfolio research, construction and implementation. William and Dave have worked closely since 2012 and William is deeply familiar with the U.S. Premier Growth Strategy investment philosophy and process.

 

     Turnover among holdings remained relatively low in keeping with our long-term investment horizon, but did result in some changes in positioning. Among sectors, Information Technology was the largest absolute weighting as the sector where we find many of the innovative, growth companies at reasonable valuations that we favor. However, we trimmed exposure to Information Technology in the past year, and reduced exposure to Energy and to Consumer Discretionary, after the sale of a home improvement retailer. Industrials exposure has also decreased during the period, ending more underweight. We have increased Financials exposure as well as the overweight in the Health Care sector. Telecommunications Services and Materials both remained underweight. Consumer Staples has been a consistent sector underweight, but that underweight was reduced during the period due to relative outperformance of PepsiCo, our sole holding in the sector.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees (for Service Class shares) and trustees’ fees. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended September 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your class under the heading “Expenses paid during period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

Q. How did the State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund perform compared to its benchmark and Morningstar peer group for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2017?

 

A. For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2017, the State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund returned 19.65% for the Investment Class shares and 19.38% for the Service Class shares. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index returned 20.74% and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 794 U.S. Small Blend funds returned an average of 18.91% over the same period.

 

Q. What market conditions impacted the Fund’s performance?

 

A. The rally in growth stocks dominated performance as higher beta securities and traditional growth segments of the market rallied significantly more than the value segments. This propelled the growth-oriented managers such as GlobeFlex Capital, L.P. and Champlain Investment Partners, LLC to generate significant returns

 

Q. What were the drivers behind Fund performance?

 

A. The asset allocation trumped individual security selection where the majority of high beta names rallied, so the higher beta and the more growth-oriented the security is, the better it did. Individual security fundamentals were not rewarded in this market. The strategy does use derivatives but only to equitize the residual cash in the account to prevent any performance disruption from large flows so there was no impact to the Fund.

 

Q. Were there any significant changes in the Fund during the period?

 

A. There were no changes to the underlying sub-advisors. During the most recent quarter, Mike Cervi left the portfolio management team to pursue an external opportunity. He was replaced by Dennis Santos, who had been working closely with Mike for the last 6-years and had been the primary trader on the strategy during that time. Dennis brings over 15 years of institutional investment experience to the team and has been performing due diligence on the underlying managers and assisting in the day-to-day management of the fund over the last 6 years.

 

     David Wiederecht remains portfolio manager along with Dennis, and has been in the role for 8 years. Dennis and Dave are further supported by the 10 person manager research team, and the 80-person Investment Solutions Group, which provides research and due diligence on investment managers as well as market and economic research to help with positioning the Fund.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees (for Service Class shares) and trustees’ fees. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended September 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your class under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

State Street Institutional International Equity Fund

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

Q. How did the State Street Institutional International Equity Fund perform compared to its benchmark and Morningstar peer group for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2017?

 

A. For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2017, the State Street Institutional International Equity Fund returned 15.58% for the Investment Class shares and 15.33% for the Service Class shares. The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index returned 19.10% and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 736 Foreign Large Blend funds returned an average of 18.01% over the same period.

 

Q. What market conditions impacted the Fund’s performance?

 

A. International market performance was strong during the 12-month period through September 30, 2017. The MSCI EAFE Index was up more than 19% in U.S. dollar terms. Despite being relatively volatile, currency had almost no impact, as dollar strength in the fourth quarter of 2016 gave way to dollar weakness in the first 9 months of 2017. Stock leadership was similarly divided. The end of 2016 saw leadership from value and cyclical stocks such as financials and energy post the U.S. presidential election. The market remained strong in 2017, but the leadership shifted back to growth, as Investment Technology led throughout the year. For the full year, six of eleven sectors delivered returns above 20%, led by financials and Investment Technology. Lagging were the defensive sectors — telecom, consumer staples, healthcare — which, nevertheless, delivered positive returns.

 

     Many investors were surprised by this year’s market strength as a combination of elevated valuations and a list of potential macro risks weighed on sentiment. As the year progressed, however, a reasonably healthy global economic backdrop supported solid earnings growth leaving valuations about where they started despite the healthy returns. Meanwhile, elections in Europe including in France, the Netherlands, and Germany all returned relatively centrist candidates to power diffusing fears of populist backlashes. China, which has been a cause of periodic market panic in recent years, delivered solid steady growth this year as it prepared for its 19th party congress. And more significant tail risks such as a global trade war or North Korean aggression remained abstract enough to not curb the enthusiasm.

 

Q. What were the drivers behind Fund performance?

 

A. The Fund underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index during the one-year period through September 30, 2017. The largest contributor to the underperformance was the energy sector and two Canadian oil and gas holdings in particular: Seven Generations Energy and Cenovus Energy. These companies were impacted by a combination of macro and stock-specific forces. On the macro side there was a combination of softening oil prices and the fears that Trump-led protectionism could restrict Canadian imports. Specific to Cenovus, the stock was punished after an acquisition of additional assets increased its debt level. Cenovus has pledged to sell other assets to reduce the debt, and the stock has shown signs of recovery as it has begun to execute on this commitment. In the case of Seven Generations, while a high volume producer, they have experienced some short-term production issues.

 

     In the healthcare sector, a holding that negatively impacted returns was Shire Pharmaceutical. Shire specializes in drugs for rare or orphan diseases, which are attractive based on their potential for extended patent protection. It has been impacted by competition concerns in its hemophilia franchise.

 

     On the positive side, the Fund has done well in technology. This is a result of a significant overweight in one of the top performing sectors this year, and strong performance from some Fund holdings. These include ASML, a Dutch supplier of systems for the semiconductor industry; Keyence, a Japanese technology company involved in automation and high-precision measuring; and Samsung.

 

     Derivatives did not have any material impact on Fund performance.

 

Q. Were there any significant changes in the Fund during the period?

 

A. Effective May 1, 2017, we transitioned Portfolio Manager responsibilities for the Fund. Ralph Layman, who had served in his capacity as a Portfolio Manager for 25 years, moved on within the firm. This move has allowed Ralph, who is an SSGA Vice Chairman, to focus his efforts in a more strategic capacity. Ralph has been a great leader for the team and has continued to be involved as a mentor and thought leader.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis, continued — September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

     Michael Solecki, who had managed the strategy with Ralph for over 20 years, continued as Portfolio Manager. With Ralph’s transition, Makoto Sumino took on Portfolio Manager responsibilities for International Equity in partnership with Mike. Makoto is an experienced Portfolio Manager, who has been with the team for more than 20 years. During his tenure, Makoto has also been a Portfolio Manager for Japan and EAFE equity strategies, the Director of Research, and a technology sector research analyst. He has an MBA from the University of Chicago and is a holder of the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.

 

     With this succession, we have great capabilities in place for the State Street Institutional International Equity Fund. Our commitment to the Fund and delivering investment excellence does not change.

 

     Despite the change in leadership, our approach to investing remains the same. We continue to look for quality companies that are undervalued relative to their growth potential. Turnover has remained relatively low in keeping with our long-term investment horizon, but did result in some changes in positioning. Regionally, the Fund’s weight in Continental Europe increased, while the weight in emerging markets and Canada decreased. The Fund remained underweight in the United Kingdom and Asia, excluding Japan (includes Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Singapore), relative to the benchmark and Japan remained a modest overweight.

 

     Information technology was the largest sector overweight. Consumer staples remained the largest underweight. Financials grew as percent of holdings but remain underweight.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees (for Service Class shares) and trustees’ fees. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended September 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your class under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

State Street Institutional Strategic Investment Fund

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

Q. How did the State Street Institutional Strategic Investment Fund perform compared to its benchmarks and Morningstar peer group for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2017?

 

A. For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2017, the State Street Institutional Strategic Investment Fund returned 10.59% for the Investment Class shares and 10.41% for the Service Class shares. The Fund’s broad based benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index, the MSCI All Country World ex-US Index and the Bloomberg Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 18.61%, 19.61% and 0.07%, respectively and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 821 U.S. Moderate Allocation funds returned an average 10.52% over the same period.

 

Q. What market conditions impacted the Fund’s performance?

 

A. In the aggregate, returns have been strong across asset classes, driving strong absolute returns. Global growth has been well supported and has been nicely synchronized, providing a backdrop of good earnings and solid risk appetite. Meanwhile, growth has not been so strong as to push inflation higher, keeping central banks at bay with little, well-telegraphed action, from the Federal Reserve.

 

Q. What were the drivers behind Fund performance?

 

A. In the aggregate, returns have been strong across asset classes, driving strong absolute returns. An overweight allocation to equities and an underweight allocation to bonds have been positive contributors to returns. Overweight cash has acted as a drag on performance. Within the sub strategies, outperformance of fixed income has been a positive while underpeformance of international equities has been a drag. Finally, an allocation to high yield bonds has been a positive contributor.

 

Q. Were there any significant changes in the Fund during the period?

 

A. The Fund moved the U.S. equity allocation from actively managed to indexed earlier this year. Meanwhile, it was announced that the Fund will be liquidating and terminating in the fourth quarter of 2017.

State Street Institutional Strategic Investment Fund

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees (for Service Class shares) and trustees’ fees. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended September 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your class under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

State Street Institutional Income Fund

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis — September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

Q. How did the State Street Institutional Income Fund perform compared to its benchmark and Morningstar peer group for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2017?

 

A. For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2017, the State Street Institutional Income Fund returned 0.98% for the Investment Class shares and 0.65% for the Service Class shares. The Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 0.07% and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group of 985 U.S. Intermediate-Term Bond funds returned an average of 0.83% over the same period.

 

Q. What market conditions impacted the Fund’s performance?

 

A. The appetite for riskier assets strengthened after the November, 2016 election as the pro-growth agenda of President-elect Donald Trump, including healthcare, tax and regulatory reform, bolstered the economic outlook for many investors. While the Trump administration and Republican led Congress gained ground on the regulatory environment, the Senate failed twice to secure enough votes to reform healthcare and the debate over tax cuts only started in September. Economic data did improve over the period. The labor market added nearly 2 million jobs since over the last 12 months. Both Institute for Supply Management (“ISM”) manufacturing and non-manufacturing indices indicated stronger expansion. Inflation was moderate, however, remaining below the Federal Reserve’s 2% target as measured by the Personal Consumption Expenditures (“PCE”) Core Index. The Federal Reserve raised its Fed Funds target in three 25 bps moves during the period to a range of 1%-1.25%. In September, the Federal Open Market Committee announced it will begin gradually reducing its balance sheet monthly to a $50B taper of U.S. Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities per month. Volatility in both interest rates and credit spreads remained low over the last twelve months. U.S. Treasury yields rose early in the period. The 10 year note yield increased nearly +100bps to 2.6% by mid-December, then ratcheted lower to finish September 2017 at 2.3%. The yield curve steepened early but ended the period flatter. The spread between 2 year and 30 year Treasuries narrowed to +137 bps from +155 bps after peaking in December (+203 bps). Credit spreads tightened with growth expectations improving with a few short term backups around geopolitical headlines regarding North Korea. Investment grade and high yield spreads dropped -35 bps and -140 bps respectively.

 

Q. What were the drivers behind Fund performance

 

A. The primary drivers of the outperformance of the Fund versus its benchmark were security selection and sector allocation. Selection in the investment grade credit sector, particularly the overweight in banks and an overweight in BBB-rated commercial mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) were significant positive contributors. The out of index exposure to high yield and overweight in high grade credit added value as credit spreads tightened over the twelve month period. This was offset somewhat by short positions in both investment grade and high yield credit default index swaps known as CDX swaps. Duration positioning, primarily expressed through U.S. Treasury futures, added marginally to excess return over the period.

 

Q. Were there any significant changes in the Fund during the period?

 

A. The exposure to investment grade credit was reduced early in the period as credit spreads tightened. We increased the exposure in September after spreads widened in August due to geopolitical headlines around North Korea. The exposure to the commercial MBS sector was reduced in the third quarter of 2017 and we significantly upgraded the commercial mortgage-backed securities’ (“CMBS”) holdings by selling BBB-rated issues to buy AAA-rated securities. With the Federal Reserve’s announcement in September to begin unwinding its balance sheet by reducing holdings in U.S. Treasuries and agency mortgage-backed securities, we initiated an underweight in the MBS sector. The exposure to high yield cash bonds was unchanged during the period however the short position in High Yield CDX was closed out.

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

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees (for Service Class shares) and trustees’ fees. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended September 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your class under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

State Street Institutional Funds

Notes to Financial Statements — September 30, 2017

 

 

1.   Organization of the Funds

State Street Institutional Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware business trust on May 23, 1997, and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. It is currently comprised of the following seven investment funds (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund, State Street Institutional S&P 500 Index Fund, State Street Institutional Premier Growth Equity Fund, State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund, State Street Institutional International Equity Fund, State Street Institutional Strategic Investment Fund and State Street Institutional Income Fund. The Funds presently offer two classes of shares — the Investment Class and the Service Class. The Trust expects that most of the time, each Fund will have relatively few shareholders (as compared with most mutual funds), but that these shareholders will invest substantial amounts in a Fund (minimum initial investment requirements are described in the current summary prospectus for each Fund and in the Funds’ statutory prospectus). Each Fund is a diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act.

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 of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The Board has responsibility for determining the fair value of investments.

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:

 

    Equity investments (including preferred stocks and registered investment companies that are exchange-traded funds) 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 per share or unit.

 

    Rights and warrants are valued at the last reported sale price obtained from independent pricing services or brokers on the valuation date. If no price is obtained from pricing services or brokers, valuation will be based upon the intrinsic value pursuant to the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.

 

   

Government and municipal fixed income securities are generally valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers. Certain government inflation-indexed securities may require a calculated fair valuation as the cumulative

  inflation is contained within the price provided by the pricing service or broker. For these securities, the inflation component of the price is “cleaned” from the pricing service or broker price utilizing the published inflation factors in order to ensure proper accrual of income.

 

    Debt obligations (including short term investments and convertible debt securities) are valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers or are generally valued at the last reported evaluated prices.

 

    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.

 

    Options on futures are priced at their last sale price on the principal market on which they are traded on the valuation date. If there were no sales on that day, options on futures are valued at either the last reported sale or official closing price on their primary exchange determined in accordance with valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.

 

    Swap agreements are valued daily based upon prices supplied by Board approved pricing vendors or through brokers. Depending on the product and terms of the transaction, the value of agreements is determined using a series of techniques including valuation models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, yields, curves, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. In the event the advisor is unable to obtain an independent, third–party valuation the agreements will be fair valued.

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.

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.

The value of each Fund’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2017 is disclosed in the Fund’s respective Schedule of Investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period. The Funds had no material transfers between levels for the year ended September 30, 2017.

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, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any.

Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.

Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock are recorded as dividend income at fair value.

Expenses  Each Fund pays a “unitary fee” to SSGA FM equivalent to the Fund’s advisory and administration fee. This fee includes any normal operating expenses payable by a Fund, except for fees paid to the Trust’s independent Trustees, distribution and shareholder servicing fees, brokerage fees and commissions and expenses that are not normal operating expenses of the Funds (such as extraordinary expenses, interest and taxes).

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.

Foreign Taxes  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 September 30, 2017, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Distributions  Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually for all Funds except the State Street Institutional Income Fund. The State Street Institutional Income Fund declares them daily and pays them monthly.

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.   Securities and Other Investments

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities  During the period, certain Funds transacted in securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The Funds may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to such purchase commitments, the Funds identify securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic or other factors.

To-Be-Announced Transactions  Certain Funds may seek to obtain exposure to U.S. agency mortgage pass-through securities through the use of “to-be-announced” or “TBA transactions.” “TBA” refers to a commonly used mechanism for the forward settlement of U.S. agency mortgage pass-through securities. In a TBA transaction, the buyer and seller decide on general trade parameters, such as agency, settlement date, coupon, and price.

A fund may use TBA transactions to “roll over” such agreements prior to the settlement date. This type of TBA transaction is sometimes known as a “TBA roll.” In a “TBA roll” a Fund generally will sell the obligation to purchase the pools stipulated in the TBA agreement prior to the settlement date and will enter into a new TBA agreement for future delivery of pools of mortgage pass-through securities. A fund may also enter into TBA agreements and settle such transactions on the stipulated settlement date by accepting actual receipt or delivery of the pools of mortgage pass-through securities.

Default by or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose a Fund to possible loss because of adverse market action, expenses or delays in connection with the purchase or sale of the pools of mortgage pass-through securities specified in the TBA transaction. To minimize this risk, a Fund will enter into TBA transactions only with established counterparties. A Fund’s use of “TBA rolls” may impact portfolio turnover, transaction costs and capital gain distributions to shareholders.

 

4.   Derivative Financial Instruments

Futures Contracts  Certain 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, 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. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds equal to the daily change in the contract value and 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 the movement of the assets underlying such contracts.

For the period ended September 30, 2017 the following Funds entered into futures contracts for strategies listed below:

Options on Futures Contracts  Certain Funds may purchase and write options, including options on futures contracts, subject to certain limitations. Writing puts and buying calls tend to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument while buying puts and writing calls tend to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. A Fund will not enter into a transaction involving options for speculative purposes. The Fund’s risks in using these contracts include changes in the value of the underlying instruments, non-performance of the counterparties under the contracts’ terms and changes in the liquidity of the secondary market for the contracts.

When a Fund writes an option, the amount of the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase, as a realized loss. When an option is exercised, the proceeds from the sale of the underlying instrument or the cost basis of the securities purchased is adjusted by the original premium received or paid. In return for a premium paid, call and put options on futures contracts give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell, respectively, a position in a particular futures contract at a specified exercise price.

For the period ended September 30, 2017 the State Street Institutional Strategic Investment Fund and the State Street Institutional Income Fund purchased and wrote options in order to hedge against changes in market conditions and interest rates.

Credit Default Swaps  During the year ended September 30, 2017, the Strategic Investment Fund and Income Fund engaged in credit default swaps to manage credit risk. When a Fund is the buyer in a credit default swap contract, a Fund is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed upon) value (full notional value) of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty (or central clearing party (“CCP”) in the case of a centrally cleared swap) to the contract if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer or sovereign issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, a Fund

pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, a Fund loses its investment and recovers nothing. However, if a credit event occurs, a Fund receives full notional value for a referenced debt obligation that may have little or no value. When a Fund is the seller of a credit default swap, it receives a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the contract, provided there is no credit event. If a credit event occurs, a Fund is obligated to pay the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that a Fund could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by a Fund for the same referenced obligation.

As the seller, a Fund may create economic leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, a Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. A Fund also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. For centrally cleared swaps, the daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the CCP daily. All upfront payments, if any, are amortized over the life of the swap as realized gains or losses. Those upfront payments that are paid or received, typically for non-centrally cleared swaps, are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, net of amortization. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments, if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swaps to determine the market value of swaps. A Fund segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller. A Fund segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to any unrealized depreciation of the credit default swaps of which it is the buyer, marked to market on a daily basis. Credit default swaps involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the referenced debt obligation directly. If a Fund is a buyer of a credit default swap and no credit event occurs, a Fund will not earn any return on its investment. If a Fund is a seller of a credit default swap, a Fund’s risk of loss may be the entire notional amount of the swap. Swaps may also subject a Fund to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction may not fulfill its obligation. In the case of centrally cleared swaps, counterparty risk is minimal due to protections provided by the CCP.

SSGA FM has agreed to waive fees to reduce the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding extraordinary expenses, interest, taxes, commissions and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any) by 0.06% of average daily net assets. SSGA FM also agrees to reimburse the Fund for any ordinary operating expenses (excluding extraordinary expenses, interest, taxes and commissions) indirectly borne by the Fund as a result of investing in the State Street Equity 500 Index II Portfolio (the “S&P 500 Portfolio”), a mutual fund advised by SSGA FM. This contractual fee waiver/expense reimbursement will remain in place through April 30, 2018 and before that date, SSGA FM may not terminate this arrangement without approval of the Board. SSGA FM has waived its right to receive reimbursement of the portion of its advisory fees waived pursuant to this agreement.

Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees  The Funds have adopted a Shareholder Servicing and Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Service Class shares of each Fund. Each Fund pays State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors, LLC (“SSGA FD”), formerly known as State Street Global Markets, LLC, the Funds’ principal underwriter, a monthly fee for distribution and/or shareholder services provided, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of such Fund attributable to the Service Class shares. Currently, Investment Class shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee.

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 September 30, 2017 are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.

In March, 2017, the State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund, the State Street Institutional S&P 500 Index Fund and the State Street Institutional Strategic Investment Fund received non-recurring litigation payments of $5,313, $210 and $8,624, respectively, from State Street Corp., an affiliate.

Due to Custodian  In certain circumstances, the Funds may have cash overdraft with the custodian. The Due to Custodian amount, if any, reflects cash overdrawn with State Street as custodian who is an affiliate of the Funds.

 

6.   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.

8.   Income Taxes

The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent they distribute their taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.

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. SSGA FM has analyzed the Funds’ 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. Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net asset values or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments for character of distributions, nontaxable dividend adjustments to income, foreign currencies, REITs, passive foreign investment companies, investments in forwards and futures, investments in swap contracts, paydown gains and losses, corporate actions, straddle loss deferrals and wash sale loss deferrals.

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2017 was as follows:

9.   Line of Credit

The Funds and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in a $360 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires October 12, 2017 unless extended or renewed. Prior to October 13, 2016, the Participants could borrow up to $360 million at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreements.

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 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 1% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate. Prior to October 13, 2016, interest was calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the New York Fed Bank Rate plus 1%.

Effective October 12, 2017, the Agreement was renewed, and as a result, the Funds and other affiliated Funds participate in a $500 million revolving credit facility.

The Funds had no outstanding loans as of September 30, 2017.

 

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 the Funds’ invest. 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.

Market and Credit Risk  In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the general economic conditions and fluctuations of the market (market risk). Additionally, a Fund may also 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.

 

11.   Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date on which 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 other than below.

The Board has approved a separate Plan of Dissolution, Liquidation and Termination for the State Street Institutional S&P 500 Index Fund and the State Street Institutional Strategic Investment Fund, pursuant to which the Funds are expected to be liquidated and terminated on or about November 20, 2017 and November 30, 2017, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of State Street Institutional Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of State Street Institutional Funds (comprising, respectively, U.S. Equity Fund, S&P 500 Index Fund, Premier Growth Equity Fund, Small-Cap Equity Fund, International Equity Fund, Strategic Investment Fund and Income Fund) (collectively, the “Funds”) as of September 30, 2017, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for periods ended prior to October 1, 2016 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated November 20, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

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 Funds’ 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 Funds’ 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 September 30, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or 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 each of the above mentioned funds comprising State Street Institutional Funds at September 30, 2017, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, State Street Institutional Funds (the “Trust” or “Registrant”) has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR, that applies to the Registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the Registrant or a third party (the “Code”). That Code comprises written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote: (1) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (2) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Registrant files with, or submits to, the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Registrant; (3) compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations; (4) the prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of violations of the Code; and (5) accountability for adherence to the Code. The Registrant has not made any amendments to the Code that relates to any element of the code of ethics definition set forth in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR during the covered period. The Registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the Code during the covered period. A copy of the Registrant’s Code is filed as Exhibit 13(a)(1) to this Form N-CSR.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has determined that the Trust has the following “audit committee financial experts” as defined in Item 3(b) of Form N-CSR serving on its audit committee (the “Audit Committee”): Mr. John R. Costantino and Ms. Donna M. Rapaccioli. Each of the “audit committee financial experts” is “independent” as that term is defined in Item 3(a)(2) of Form N-CSR.

An “audit committee financial expert” is not an “expert” for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a result of being designated as an “audit committee financial expert.” Further, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not mean that the person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those imposed on the person without the “audit committee financial expert” designation. Similarly, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or the Board.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

  (a) Audit Fees

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the aggregate audit fees billed for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), the Trust’s principal accountant, for the audit of the Trust’s annual financial statements or services normally provided by E&Y in connection with the Trust’s statutory and regulatory filings and engagements were $183,200 and $200,800, respectively.


Table of Contents
  (b) Audit-Related Fees

  (c) Tax Fees

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the aggregate tax fees billed for professional services rendered by E&Y for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning in the form of preparation of excise filings and income tax returns were $60,775 and $61,467, respectively.

 

  (d) All Other Fees

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, there were no fees billed for professional services rendered by E&Y for products and services provided by E&Y to the Trust, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c).

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the aggregate fees for professional services rendered by E&Y for products and services provided by E&Y to SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Trust that (i) relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust and (ii) were pre-approved by the Audit Committee were approximately $7,777,372 and $7,777,372, respectively.

 

  (e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things, the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the Funds’ Auditor. As part of this responsibility and to ensure that the Auditor’s independence is not impaired, the Audit Committee (1) pre-approves the audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by the Auditor, and (2) all non-audit services provided to the Funds’ investment adviser and Covered Affiliates (as defined in the Audit Committee Charter) that provide ongoing services to the Funds if the services directly impact the Funds’ operations or financial reporting, in accordance with the Audit Committee Charter. The following excerpt from the Audit Committee Charter sets forth the pre-approval policies and procedures:


Table of Contents

Pre-Approval of Audit Related Services and Permissible Non-Audit Services. The Audit Committee shall pre-approve both audit (including audit, review, and attest) services and permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund and, if the nature of the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund, permissible non-audit services provided to any Covered Affiliate.

The Audit Committee may determine to delegate the authority to grant pre-approvals to one or more Audit Committee members, each acting on behalf of the Audit Committee. In this event, the member of the Audit Committee so delegated shall report each delegated pre-approval to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee may also adopt and follow, in lieu of explicit pre-approval described above, written policies and procedures detailed as to the particular service, designed to safeguard the continued independence of the Auditor, consistent with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and SEC regulations thereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the pre-approval requirement concerning permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund or any Covered Affiliate is waived if: (1) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided constitutes no more than five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid to the Auditor by the Fund and the Covered Affiliates during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee, (2) the non-audit services were not recognized as non-audit services at the time of the engagement, and (3) such non-audit services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved by the Audit Committee or one or more designated members of the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit.

 

  (e)(2) Percentages of Services
