Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of
SSGA Active Trust
We have examined managements assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance With Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that SSGA Active Trust (the Trust) complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Act) as of July 31, 2021. Management is responsible for the Trusts compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assertion about the Trusts compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Trusts compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of July 31, 2021 and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from February 26, 2021 (the date of our last examination) through July 31, 2021:
| Confirmation of all securities in book entry form held by the Depository Trust Company, Federal Reserve Bank and International Depositories; |
| Confirmation of all securities hypothecated, pledged, placed in escrow or out for transfer with brokers, pledgees or transfer agents; |
| Reconciliation of all securities between the books and records of the Trust and the Custodian; |
| Review of the reconciliation procedures performed by the Custodian at an omnibus level between the Depository Trust Company, Federal Reserve Bank and International Depositories and the books and records of the Custodian; and |
| Agreement of one security purchase and one security sale, for each fund in the Trust, since our last report from the books and records of the Trust to purchase and sales reports from the Funds administrator. |
We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Trusts compliance with specified requirements.
In our opinion, managements assertion that SSGA Active Trust complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 of the Act as of July 31, 2021, with respect to securities reflected in the investment account of the Funds is fairly stated, in all material respects.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of SSGA Active Trust and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
