State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund
Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — March 31, 2023 (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 March 31, 2023.
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 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.
Investment Class | | Actual Fund Return | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) |
Begining Account Value October 1, 2022 | | $1,000.00 | | $1,000.00 |
Ending Account Value March 31, 2023 | | $1,144.10 | | $1,022.90 |
Expenses Paid During Period* | | $ 2.14 | | $ 2.02 |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.40% for Investment Class shares and 0.65% for Service Class shares (for the period October 1, 2022 - March 31, 2023), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
Service Class | | Actual Fund Return | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) |
Begining Account Value October 1, 2022 | | $1,000.00 | | $1,000.00 |
Ending Account Value March 31, 2023 | | $1,143.40 | | $1,021.70 |
Expenses Paid During Period* | | $ 3.47 | | $ 3.28 |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.40% for Investment Class shares and 0.65% for Service Class shares (for the period October 1, 2022 - March 31, 2023), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — March 31, 2023 (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 March 31, 2023.
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 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 Small-Cap Equity Fund
Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — March 31, 2023 (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 March 31, 2023.
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 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.
Investment Class | | Actual Fund Return | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) |
Begining Account Value October 1, 2022 | | $1,000.00 | | $1,000.00 |
Ending Account Value March 31, 2023 | | $1,136.70 | | $1,021.20 |
Expenses Paid During Period* | | $ 4.00 | | $ 3.78 |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.75% for Investment Class shares and 1.00% for Service Class shares (for the period October 1, 2022 - March 31, 2023), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
Service Class | | Actual Fund Return | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) |
Begining Account Value October 1, 2022 | | $1,000.00 | | $1,000.00 |
Ending Account Value March 31, 2023 | | $1,134.30 | | $1,019.90 |

State Street Institutional Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
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. As of March 31, 2023, the Trust is comprised of the following three series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund, State Street Institutional Premier Growth Equity Fund and State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund. Each Fund presently offers 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, except for the State Street Institutional Premier Growth Equity Fund, which is a non-diversified investment company.
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 of the Trust (the “Board”). The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
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 (“NAV”) per share or unit. |
32 | Notes to Financial Statements |
State Street Institutional Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
• | 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 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 March 31, 2023 is disclosed in each Fund’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 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.
Distributions received by the Funds may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains.
Certain Funds invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”). REITs determine the tax character of their distributions annually and may characterize a portion of their distributions as a return of capital or capital gain. The Funds’ policy is to record all REIT distributions initially as dividend income and re-designate a portion of the capital or capital gains distributions at year end based on information provided by the REIT and/or SSGA Funds Management, Inc.'s (the "Adviser" or "SSGA FM") estimates of such redesignations for which actual information has not yet been reported.
Expenses Each Fund pays a “unitary fee” to SSGA FM equivalent to the Fund’s advisory and administration fee. This fee includes all operating expenses payable by each Fund, except for fees and expenses associated with the
Notes to Financial Statements | 33 |
State Street Institutional Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
Trust’s independent Trustees, shareholder servicing and distribution (12b-1) fees, brokerage fees and commissions, and expenses that are not normal operating expenses of the Fund (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 March 31, 2023, 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.
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 Each Fund may enter into futures contracts to meet the Fund’s objectives. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the clearing house. Securities deposited, if any, are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is included in the Net cash collateral on deposit with broker for future contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value, accumulated, exchange rates, and or other transactional fees. The accumulation of those payments are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. A Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.
Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to unfavorable changes in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk that the movements in the price of the futures contracts do not correlate with the movement of the assets underlying such contracts. For the period ended March 31, 2023, the following Funds entered into futures contracts for strategies listed below:
Fund | Strategies |

4.Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory Fee SSGA FM, a registered investment adviser, was retained by the Board to act as investment adviser and administrator of each Fund. SSGA FM’s compensation for investment advisory and administrative services (“Management Fee”) is paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of each Fund. The Management Fee is stated in the following schedule:
Fund | Average Daily Net Assets of the Fund | Management Fee |
State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund | First $25 million | 0.55% |
| Next $25 million | 0.45% |
| Over $50 million | 0.35% |
State Street Institutional Premier Growth Equity Fund | First $25 million | 0.55% |
| Next $25 million | 0.45% |
| Over $50 million | 0.35% |
State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund | First $250 million | 0.95% |
| Next $250 million | 0.90% |
| Over $500 million | 0.85% |
Each Fund’s Management Fee is a “unitary” fee that includes all operating expenses payable by the Fund, except for fees and expenses associated with the independent Trustees, shareholder servicing and distribution (12b-1) fees, brokerage fees and commissions, and expenses that are not normal operating expenses of the Fund (such as extraordinary expenses, interest and taxes).
SSGA FM is contractually obligated until January 31, 2024 (i) to waive up to the full amount of the advisory fee payable by the State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund, and/or (ii) to reimburse the State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund for expenses to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive of non-recurring account fees, extraordinary expenses, and certain class specific expenses, such as distribution and shareholder servicing) exceed 0.75% of average daily net assets on an annual basis. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement may not be terminated prior to January 31, 2024 except with approval of the Board.
For the period ended March 31, 2023, fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser, pursuant to this agreement, were $723,298.
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”), 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.
Due to Custodian In certain circumstances, the Funds may have cash overdrafts with the custodian due to expense payments, capital transactions, trading of securities, investment operations or derivative transactions. The Due to Custodian amount, if any, reflects cash overdrawn with State Street as custodian, who is an affiliate of the Funds.
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 March 31, 2023 are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.

5.Sub-Advisory Fees
Pursuant to investment sub-advisory agreements with SSGA FM, the assets of the State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund are allocated to and managed by each of the following sub-advisers: (i) Palisade Capital Management, L.L.C.; (ii) Champlain Investment Partners, LLC.; (iii) Kennedy Capital Management, Inc.; and (iv) SouthernSun Asset Management, LLC. SSGA FM is responsible for allocating the State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund’s assets among the sub-advisers in its discretion (“Allocated Assets”), and for managing the State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund’s cash position, while each subadviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of their portion of the Allocated Assets, under the general supervision and oversight of SSGA FM and the Board. For their services, SSGA FM pays each sub-adviser an investment sub-advisory fee, which is calculated as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the respective Allocated Assets that it manages.
6.Trustees' Fees
The fees and expenses of the 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.
7.Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions, short term investments and derivative contracts) for the period ended March 31, 2023 were as follows:
| Other Securities |
Fund | Purchases | Sales |
State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund | $ 38,373,959 | $ 38,115,085 |
State Street Institutional Premier Growth Equity Fund | 2,889,872 | 5,053,753 |
State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund | 133,410,444 | 179,864,480 |
8.Income Tax Information
The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.
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 September 30, 2022, 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.

As of March 31, 2023, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments and other financial instruments based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Fund | Tax Cost | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund | $149,827,451 | $ 58,167,373 | $ 4,405,109 | $ 53,762,264 |

9.Line of Credit
The Funds and other affiliated funds (each, a “Participant” and collectively, the “Participants”) have access to $200 million of a $1.275 billion ($1.1 billion prior to October 6, 2022) revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires in October 2023 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 1.00% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and the one-month SOFR Rate.
The Funds had no outstanding loans as of March 31, 2023.
10.Risks
Concentration Risk As a result of a Fund'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 a Fund's investments more than if a Fund was more broadly diversified.
Market Risk A Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, and general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. A Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness, such as COVID-19, or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.
11.Subsequent Events
The Board approved a Plan of Liquidation and Termination of Series with respect to the State Street Institutional Premier Growth Equity Fund, pursuant to which the Fund was liquidated and terminated on April 21, 2023.

Liquidity Risk Management Program
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”). SSGA FM has been designated by the Board to administer the Funds’ Program. The Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Fund. Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. During the fiscal year, SSGA FM provided the Board with a report addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and the effectiveness of the Program’s implementation for the period from December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2022. SSGA FM reported that the Program operated adequately to meet the requirements of Rule 22e-4 and that the implementation of the Program has been effective.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.
