State Street International Stock Selection Fund
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of a Fund's annual and semi- annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Fund (or from your financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank). Instead, the reports will be made available on a Fund's website (www.ssgafunds.com), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted, and provided with a website link to access the report. If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from a Fund electronically by calling 1-800-997-7327.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with a Fund, you can inform a Fund that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by calling 1-800-997-7327. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held in your account.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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, 2019, the Trust consists of four (4) 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”):

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
34


SSGA FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
February 28, 2019 (Unaudited)

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.
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.
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.
The value of each Fund’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of February 28, 2019, 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, if any, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
February 28, 2019 (Unaudited)

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 the prior calendar year’s to return of 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.
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 February 28, 2019, 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. 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, 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, 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.

4.    Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory Fees
SSGA FM manages the Funds pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Global Advisors, Inc., which itself is a wholly owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation. The Adviser and other advisory affiliates of State Street Corporation make up State Street Global Advisors, the investment management arm of State Street Corporation and its affiliated companies. The Adviser directs the investments of the Funds in accordance with their investment objectives, policies, and limitations.

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.
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, 2019, are disclosed in the Funds' respective Schedules of Investments.
On February 26, 2018, the Adviser agreed to make a contribution of $126,543 to the State Street Defensive Emerging Markets Equity Fund in connection with a portfolio matter.
On March 21, 2018, the Adviser agreed to make a contribution of $6,362 to the State Street Dynamic Small Cap Fund in connection with a portfolio matter.
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, 2019, were as follows:
  Purchases   Sales
State Street Dynamic Small Cap Fund

$ 8,935,606   $ 9,988,470
State Street Defensive Emerging Markets Equity Fund

15,826,866   22,634,636
State Street International Stock Selection Fund

144,954,138   157,470,779
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 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. As of August 31, 2018, 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.
Under tax reform legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), a direct REIT shareholder is permitted to claim a 20% deduction for “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income). The Tax Act does not contain a provision permitting a regulated investment company, such as the Funds, to pass through the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to its shareholders. Unless future tax guidance addresses this issue, direct investors in REITs will benefit from the deduction, while investors in the Funds that invest in such REITs will not.
As of February 28, 2019, 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
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, 2019, 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, 2019:

9.    Line of Credit
The Funds and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in 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 2019 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% 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, 2019.
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.
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.    New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released its Final Rule on Disclosure Update and Simplification (the “Final Rule”) which is intended to simplify an issuer’s disclosure compliance efforts by removing redundant or outdated disclosure requirements without significantly altering the mix of information provided to investors. The Funds have adopted the Final Rule for the current period with the most notable impacts being that the Funds are no longer required to present components of distributable earnings on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or the sources of distributions to shareholders and the amount of undistributed net investment income on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
For the period ended August 31, 2018, distributions to shareholders and undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income were as follows:

OTHER INFORMATION
February 28, 2019 (Unaudited)

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, 2018 to February 28, 2019.
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 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.

SSGA Funds
STATE STREET S&P 500 INDEX FUND
Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2019 (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, 2019, the Trust consists of four (4) 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
The Fund is part of a master-feeder structure and invests substantially all of its assets in the State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a separate series of the State Street Master Funds. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in net assets of the Portfolio (99.99% at February 28, 2019). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including its Schedule of Investments, are attached to this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.
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 records its investment in the Portfolio at fair value (net asset value) each business day. The valuation policy of the Portfolio is discussed in Note 2 of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are attached to this report.
The Portfolio’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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments. The summary of the inputs used for the Portfolio, as of February 28, 2019, in valuing the Portfolio’s securities carried at fair value are discussed in Note 2 of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are attached to this report.

SSGA Funds
STATE STREET S&P 500 INDEX FUND  (continued)
Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2019 (Unaudited)

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from security transactions consist of the Fund’s pro-rata share of its Portfolio’s realized gains and losses. Net investment income consists of the Fund’s pro-rata share of the net investment income of its Portfolio less expenses of the Fund.
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.
The Fund is allocated a pro-rata share of the expense of its Portfolio.
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.    Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory Fee
The Fund pays no advisory fee directly to SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”), for so long as assets of the Fund are invested in the Portfolio. The Portfolio 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. As compensation for the Adviser’s services to the Portfolio as investment adviser and State Street’s services to the Portfolio as sub-administrator, custodian and transfer agent (and for assuming ordinary operating expenses of the Portfolio, including ordinary legal and audit expenses), the Portfolio is obligated to pay a fee for the services in the amount of 0.045% of average daily net assets on an annual basis, accrued daily and paid monthly.
The Adviser is contractually obligated until December 31, 2019 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, 2019 except with the approval of the Fund’s Board. During the period ended February 28, 2019, SSGA FM agreed to reimburse fees of $329,975.
Administrator, Sub-Administrator, and Custodian Fees
SSGA FM serves as administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as custodian and sub-administrator to the Fund. 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. For the period ended February 28, 2019, SSGA FM waived fees in the amount of $73,941. For its services as custodian, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee. SSGA FM pays State Street for its services as sub-administrator.
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”).
7


SSGA Funds
STATE STREET S&P 500 INDEX FUND  (continued)
Notes to Financial Statements — February 28, 2019 (Unaudited)

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.
4.    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.
5.    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, 2018, 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.
Under tax reform legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), a direct REIT shareholder is permitted to claim a 20% deduction for “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income). The Tax Act does not contain a provision permitting a regulated investment company, such as the Funds, to pass through the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to its shareholders. Unless future tax guidance addresses this issue, direct investors in REITs will benefit from the deduction, while investors in the Funds that invest in such REITs will not.
As of February 28, 2019, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments and other financial instruments based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

6.    Risks
Market and Credit Risk
In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the general economic conditions and fluctuations of the market (market risk). Additionally, the 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.

7.    New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released its Final Rule on Disclosure Update and Simplification (the “Final Rule”) which is intended to simplify an issuer’s disclosure compliance efforts by removing redundant or outdated disclosure requirements without significantly altering the mix of information provided to investors. The Fund has adopted the Final Rule for the current period with the most notable impacts being that the Fund is no longer required to present components of distributable earnings on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or the sources of distributions to shareholders and the amount of undistributed net investment income on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
For the period ended August 31, 2018, distributions to shareholders and undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income were as follows:
  Net
Investment
Income
  Net Realized
Gains
  Total
Distributions
  Undistributed

8.    Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund 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.

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, 2018 to February 28, 2019.
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 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.

0.16%   $968.70   $0.78   $1,024.00   $0.80
(a) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio multiplied by the average account value of the period, multiplied by 181, then divided by 365.
(b) Because the Fund invest all of its assets in the Portfolio, the expense example reflects the net expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolio in which it invests.

Security Valuation
The Portfolio'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 Portfolio are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Portfolio. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio'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.
The Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of February 28, 2019 is disclosed in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments.

Futures Contracts
The Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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, 2019, the Portfolio entered into futures contracts for cash equitization, to reduce tracking error and to facilitate daily liquidity.
The following table summarizes the value of the Portfolio's derivative instruments as of February 28, 2019, and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

Other Transactions with Affiliates – Securities Lending
State Street, an affiliate of the Portfolio, acts as the securities lending agent for the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio, 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.
Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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, 2019, are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
Securities Lending
The Portfolio 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

Notes to Schedule of Investments — February 28, 2019 (Unaudited)

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 Portfolio will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Portfolio 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, the Portfolio will bear the risk of loss of any cash collateral that it may invest. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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, 2019, and the value of the invested cash collateral are disclosed in the Portfolio's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral is not disclosed in the Portfolio's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Portfolio, and the Portfolio does not have the ability to re-hypothecate those securities.
The following is a summary of the Portfolio’s securities lending agreements and related cash and non-cash collateral received as of February 28, 2019:

STATE STREET EQUITY 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The investment objective of the State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is to replicate as closely as possible, before expenses, the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500” or the “Index”). The Portfolio's benchmark is the S&P 500 Index.
For the12-month period ended December 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Portfolio was 4.98% and the Index was 4.38%. The Portfolio and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Portfolio’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Portfolio, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns. Fees, cash drag, and the cumulative effect of security misweights contributed to the difference between the Portfolio’s performance and that of the Index.
Equity markets opened the first month of 2018 with an acceleration of positive momentum following up on what was the strongest year for global equity markets since 2009. The sharp rise in yields that accelerated into the end of the month coincided with a reversal in U.S. equities at the end of January, including the first drop of more than 1% in the Index since August. Despite this, the Index returned over 5.7% for the month of January. The fifteen month run of gains for global equity markets and historically low volatility across asset classes came to an abrupt end in February as U.S. equities fell into correction territory for the first time in two years. The release of the January non-farm payrolls report on February 2nd noted that average hourly earnings rose by approximately 2.9% on a year-over-year basis, the highest reading since the beginning of the economic recovery. The release prompted a swift reassessment of government bond yields and a 2.10% selloff in the S&P 500 for the day, a decline larger than any seen the whole of 2017. The next two months followed suit with a drop of 3.69% in February and a drop of 2.54% in March.
Markets took a tentative step forward in April after February and March left the Index in the red to close off the first quarter of 2018. Unlike early February, when rising yields that came close to 3% were widely cited as a catalyst that unnerved equity markets, the gradual rise in yields to 3% in April coincided with generally positive equity market performance. U.S. equity markets managed to post modest gains each month of the second quarter, even as increasing tensions around a possible global trade war contributed to a two week selloff in U.S. shares to close the quarter.
The market environment during the third quarter in many ways mimicked what had already transpired throughout much of 2018. The Index surpassed the 1990s bull market to enter into the longest bull market ever – setting all-time highs along the way. The final tallies on second quarter earnings played their part as S&P 500 companies delivered earnings growth of nearly 25% on a year-over-year basis, with more than 3 out of 4 companies beating expectations. Large cap stocks, as represented by the S&P 500, displayed the most uninterrupted progress during the third quarter – posting an advance of approximately 7.7%.
In what is usually a seasonally favorable period, in Q4 of 2018, US equities exhibited their worst quarterly performance since 2011 when the market was facing debt ceiling negotiations and a credit rating downgrade from Standard & Poor’s. Although volatility prevailed during the entirety of the quarter, October and December were particularly vicious. Both months started out with building optimism based on improved outlooks for trade deals. In October, the United States, Canada and Mexico came to terms on a trade agreement which briefly lifted spirits. Meanwhile, December’s arrival was met with a trade truce between the United States and China based on discussions at the G20 meeting in Argentina. However, a host of factors relating to rising interest rates, economic growth concerns and systematic or algorithmic trading strategies stifled those short-lived rallies and sent the S&P 500 down approximately 13.5% for the quarter. This brought the index to a final return of 4.38% for the year.

STATE STREET EQUITY 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2018

1.    Organization
State Street Master 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 December 31, 2018, the Trust consists of six (6) 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 State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is authorized to issue an unlimited number of non transferable beneficial interests. The financial statements herein relate only to:
Fund Commencement of Operations Diversification Classification
State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio March 1, 2000 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 Portfolio is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation
The Portfolio'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 Portfolio are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Portfolio. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio'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.
15


STATE STREET EQUITY 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
December 31, 2018

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 Portfolio's investments.
The Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2018 is disclosed in the Portfolio’s 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 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. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock are recorded as dividend income at fair value.
Distributions received by the Portfolio 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.
All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata among the partners in the Portfolio on a daily basis based on each partner’s daily ownership percentage.
Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Portfolio, are applied to that Portfolio within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Portfolio 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 Portfolio within the Trust.
Foreign Taxes
The Portfolio 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 Funds Management, Inc.’s (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Portfolio invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the
16


STATE STREET EQUITY 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
December 31, 2018

Portfolio and are reflected in the Statement of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of December 31, 2018, if any, are disclosed in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
3.    Derivative Financial Instruments
Futures Contracts
The Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 December 31, 2018, the Portfolio entered into futures contracts for cash equitization, to reduce tracking error and to facilitate daily liquidity.
The following tables summarize the value of the Portfolio's derivative instruments as of December 31, 2018, and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
December 31, 2018

4.    Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory, Administrator, Custodian, Sub-Administrator and Transfer Agent Fees
The Portfolio 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 ("State Street"). As compensation for the Adviser’s services to the Portfolio as investment adviser and administrator and State Street’s services to the Portfolio as sub-administrator, custodian and transfer agent (and for assuming ordinary operating expenses of the Portfolio, including ordinary legal and audit expenses), the Portfolio is obligated to pay a fee for the services in the amount of 0.045% of average daily net assets on an annual basis, accrued daily and paid monthly.
Other Transactions with Affiliates - Securities Lending
State Street, an affiliate of the Portfolio, acts as the securities lending agent for the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio, 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 money market fund, for which SSGA FM serves as investment adviser. See Note 8 for additional information regarding securities lending.
Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Portfolio 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 Portfolio owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the period ended December 31, 2018, 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 Portfolio. 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 and short term investments) for the period ended December 31, 2018, were as follows:
  Purchases   Sales
State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio

$54,027,233   $218,883,200
7.    Income Tax Information
The Portfolio is not required to pay federal income taxes on its net investment income and net capital gains because it is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. All interest, gains and losses of the Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the Portfolio’s partners in proportion to their holdings in the Portfolio, regardless of whether such items have been distributed by the Portfolio. Each partner is responsible for its tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
18


STATE STREET EQUITY 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
December 31, 2018

The Portfolio 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. SSGA FM has analyzed the Portfolio’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.
As of December 31, 2018, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments and other financial instruments based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

$536,713,731   $916,094,259   $77,801,762   $838,292,497
8.    Securities Lending
The Portfolio 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 Portfolio will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Portfolio 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, the Portfolio will bear the risk of loss of any cash collateral that it may invest. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 December 31, 2018, and the value of the invested cash collateral are disclosed in the Portfolio's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral is not disclosed in the Portfolio's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Portfolio, and the Portfolio does not have the ability to re-hypothecate those securities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Portfolio's Statement 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 Portfolio’s securities lending agreements and related cash and non-cash collateral received as of December 31, 2018:

9.    Line of Credit
The Portfolio and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in 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 2019 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% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate.
The Portfolio had no outstanding loans as of December 31, 2018.
10.    Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Portfolio's ability to invest a large percentage of its 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 Portfolio's investments more than if the Fund were more broadly diversified.
Market and Credit Risk
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio trades financial instruments and enters into transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the general economic conditions and fluctuations of the market (market risk). Additionally, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
11.    New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released its Final Rule on Disclosure Update and Simplification (the “Final Rule”) which is intended to simplify an issuer’s disclosure compliance efforts by removing redundant or outdated disclosure requirements without significantly altering the mix of information provided to investors. The Portfolio has adopted the Final Rule for the current period.
12.    Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio 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.

STATE STREET MASTER FUNDS
STATE STREET EQUITY 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Owners of Beneficial Interest and Board of Trustees of State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) (one of the portfolios constituting State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”)), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2018, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting State Street Master Funds) at December 31, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financials reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, 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 the extent applicable, distribution(12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018.
The table below illustrates your Portfolio'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 Portfolio'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 Portfolio. 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 Portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.
Based on hypothetical 5% return ——This section is intended to help you compare your Portfolio's costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Portfolio 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 Portfolio's actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your Portfolio'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.
