How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
Palisade, Champlain, and SouthernSun were the primary drivers of the Fund's negative relative performance during the reporting period. Kennedy had a good year relative to the Index, outperforming by ~2.2%. Palisade, Champlain, and SouthernSun each underperformed the Index by ~2.7%, ~5.0%, and ~-1.6%, respectively for the year ending September 30, 2024. The overall Fund's lower beta/higher quality profile was a detractor for the year relative to the Index. The Fund used e-mini Russell 2000 Index futures in order to equitize cash in the liquidity sleeve of the Fund to manage daily flows and to maintain market exposure on the cash during the reporting period. The Fund’s use of e-mini Russell 2000 Index futures are meant to match the Index and not to speculate in either direction. On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the reporting period were Dycom Industries Inc, Actuant Corporation, and Boot Barn holdings Inc. The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the reporting period were Darling International Inc, MGP Ingredients Inc, and Boston Beer Company, Inc.
The Fund's benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
IT was the best performing Index sector during the reporting period rising 52.7%. This was driven largely by “Magnificent 7”, top Index names which rose significantly largely on artificial intelligence excitement. The Fund also outperformed by more than 10% in the sector, driven by semiconductor company exposures such as Nvidia. The Fund benefitted from holdings including United Rentals, Parker-Hannifin, Trane Technologies, and Eaton, all of which returned more than 50% during the reporting period, as they benefitted from a range of tailwinds including infrastructure/capex spending driven by reshoring, green investment, and increased data center demand. The healthcare sector, which is more defensive, lagged in the strong risk-on market (although was still up 14.8%). This negatively impacted the Fund, which was modestly overweight the sector. In addition, the Fund’s stock selections underperformed. The largest detracting positions included Humana (healthcare services), Biomarin Pharma (biotech), and Merck (pharma). Derivatives did not have a material impact on performance.
The Fund's benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
IT was the best performing Index sector during the reporting period rising 52.7%. This was driven largely by “Magnificent 7”, top Index names which rose significantly largely on artificial intelligence excitement. The Fund also outperformed by more than 10% in the sector, driven by semiconductor company exposures such as Nvidia. The Fund benefitted from holdings including United Rentals, Parker-Hannifin, Trane Technologies, and Eaton, all of which returned more than 50% during the reporting period, as they benefitted from a range of tailwinds including infrastructure/capex spending driven by reshoring, green investment, and increased data center demand. The healthcare sector, which is more defensive, lagged in the strong risk-on market (although was still up 14.8%). This negatively impacted the Fund, which was modestly overweight the sector. In addition, the Fund’s stock selections underperformed. The largest detracting positions included Humana (healthcare services), Biomarin Pharma (biotech), and Merck (pharma). Derivatives did not have a material impact on performance.
The Fund's benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains.

(b) Not applicable.
Item 2. Code of Ethics.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, State Street Institutional Funds (the “Trust,” “Fund Entity” or “Registrant”) has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR, that applies to the Registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the Registrant or a third party (the “Code”). That Code comprises written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote: (1) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (2) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Registrant files with, or submits to, the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Registrant; (3) compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations; (4) the prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of violations of the Code; and (5) accountability for adherence to the Code. For the period covered by the report, the Code was combined with other mutual funds advised by SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”). The Registrant has not made any amendments to the Code that relates to any element of the code of ethics definition set forth in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR during the covered period. The Registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the Code during the covered period. A copy of the Code is filed as Exhibit 19(a)(1) to this Form N-CSR.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has determined that the Trust has the following “audit committee financial experts” as defined in Item 3(b) of Form N-CSR serving on its audit committee (the “Audit Committee”): Messrs. John R. Costantino, George M. Pereira, Mark E. Swanson and Ms. Donna M. Rapaccioli. Each of the “audit committee financial experts” is “independent” as that term is defined in Item 3(a)(2) of Form N-CSR.
An “audit committee financial expert” is not an “expert” for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a result of being designated as an “audit committee financial expert.” Further, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not mean that the person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those imposed on the person without the “audit committee financial expert” designation. Similarly, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or the Board.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the aggregate audit fees billed for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), the Trust’s principal accountant, for the audit of the Trust’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by E&Y in connection with the Trust’s statutory and regulatory filings and engagements were $58,922 and $57,922, respectively.

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the aggregate fees for professional services rendered by E&Y for products and services provided by E&Y to the Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Trust that (i) relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust and (ii) were pre-approved by the Audit Committee were approximately $9,556,710 and $9,540,002, respectively.

| • | | To establish, if deemed necessary or appropriate as an alternative to Audit Committee pre-approval of services to be provided by the independent auditor as required by paragraph b above, policies and procedures to permit such services to be pre-approved by other means, such as by action of a designated member or members of the Audit Committee, subject to the requirement that the decision of any member to whom authority is delegated to pre-approve an activity shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting; |
Alternate Pre-Approval Procedure:
| • | | The Chairperson, or Vice Chairperson, of the Audit Committee is authorized to pre-approve any engagement involving the Fund Entity’s independent auditors to the same extent as the Audit Committee. Any pre-approval decision by the Chairperson, or Vice Chairperson, under the foregoing authority shall be presented to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. |
| (e)(2) | Percentages of Services |
None of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item were performed in reliance on paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during the period of time for which such rule was effective.

State Street Institutional Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — September 30, 2024
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. The Trust is comprised of the following two series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): State Street Institutional U.S. 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.
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. |
• | 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. |
20 | Notes to Financial Statements |
State Street Institutional Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — September 30, 2024
In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that the application of these valuation methods results in a price for an investment that is deemed to be not representative of the fair value of such investment, fair value will be determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.
The Funds value their assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• | Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability; |
• | Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and |
• | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. |
The value of each Fund’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2024 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 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).

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — September 30, 2024
Foreign Currency Translation The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars using exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Foreign Taxes The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with SSGA FM’s understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of September 30, 2024, 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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, the following Funds entered into futures contracts for strategies listed below:

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 Small-Cap Equity Fund | First $250 million | 0.95% |

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, 2025 (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, 2025 except with approval of the Board.
For the year ended September 30, 2024, fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser, pursuant to this agreement, were $1,403,896.
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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 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, LP.; (ii) Champlain Investment Partners, LLC; (iii) Kennedy Capital Management, LLC; (iv) SouthernSun Asset Management, LLC; and (v) Westfield Capital Management Company, L.P., effective March 1, 2024. 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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:
| Other Securities |
Fund | Purchases | Sales |
State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund | $144,722,996 | $150,713,765 |
State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund | 358,470,858 | 472,006,935 |
Redemption In-Kind In accordance with guidelines described in the Funds' prospectus, a Fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of Fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, a Fund recognizes a gain or loss on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds or is less than, respectively, the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The net realized in-kind gains or losses are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
During the year ended September 30, 2024, the State Street Institutional Small-Cap Fund had a redemption in-kind that resulted in a redemption of $333,137,764 that was paid in securities and $23,872,830 that was paid in cash.
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. SSGA FM has analyzed the Funds' tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on NAVs or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments for character of distributions, futures contracts, return of capital adjustments and wash sale loss deferrals.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2024 was as follows:
Fund | Ordinary Income | Long-Term Capital Gains | Total |
State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund | $2,227,537 | $1,800,380 | $4,027,917 |
State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund | 13,558,508 | 66,547,560 | 80,106,068 |

9.Line of Credit
The Funds and other affiliated funds (each, a “Participant” and collectively, the “Participants”) have access to $180 million of a $1.26 billion ($180 million of $960 million prior to October 3, 2024) revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires in October 2025 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 September 30, 2024.
Effective November 1, 2024, the credit facility was updated, and the Funds have access to $194.29 million of a $1.36 billion credit facility.
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 The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, and general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth

or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness, such as COVID-19, or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments.
11.Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of State Street Institutional Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of State Street Institutional Funds (the “Trust”) (comprising State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund and State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund (collectively referred to as the “Funds”)), including the schedules of investments, as of September 30, 2024, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements 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 each of the Funds comprising State Street Institutional Funds at September 30, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their 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 Funds’ 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 Trust 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 financial 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 September 30, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. 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.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract — September 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
TRUSTEE CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING CONTINUATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS1
Overview of the Contract Review Process
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), an investment advisory agreement between a mutual fund and its investment adviser may continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees or its shareholders, and by a vote of a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (the “Independent Trustees”) cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
Consistent with these requirements, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the State Street Institutional Funds (the “Trust”) met in person on April 3, 2024 and May 8-9, 2024, including in executive sessions attended by the Independent Trustees, to consider a proposal to approve, with respect to each portfolio series of the Trust (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”), and the sub-advisory agreements (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) by and among SSGA FM, the Trust on behalf of the State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund (the “Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund”), and each of Champlain Investment Partners, LLC, Kennedy Capital Management LLC, Palisade Capital Management, LP and SouthernSun Asset Management, LLC (collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”).[2] Prior to voting on the proposal, the Independent Trustees reviewed information furnished by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers and others reasonably necessary to permit the Board to evaluate the proposal fully. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by counsel who are independent of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers (“Independent Counsel”) in connection with their consideration of approval of the Agreements. Following the April 3, 2024 meeting, the Independent Trustees submitted questions and requests for additional information to management, and considered management’s responses thereto prior to and at the May 8-9, 2024 meeting. The Independent Trustees considered, among other things, the following:

______________________________________________
1The Independent Trustees have identified numerous relevant issues, factors and concerns ("issues, factors and concerns") that they consider each year in connection with the proposed continuation of the advisory and sub-advisory agreements, the administration agreement, the distribution plans, the distribution agreement and various related-party service agreements (the "annual review process"). The statement of issues, factors and concerns and the related conclusions of the Independent Trustees may not change substantially from year to year. However, the information requested by, and provided to, the Independent Trustees with respect to the issues, factors and concerns and on which their conclusions are based is updated annually and, in some cases, may differ substantially from the previous year. The Independent Trustees schedule annually a separate in-person meeting that is dedicated to the annual review process (the "special meeting"). At the special meeting and throughout the annual review process, the Independent Trustees take a fresh look at each of the issues, factors and concerns in light of the latest available information and each year present one or more sets of comments and questions to management with respect to specific issues, factors and concerns. Management responds to such comments and questions to the satisfaction of the Independent Trustees before the annual review process is completed and prior to the Independent Trustees voting on proposals to approve continuation of the agreements and plans.
2The Board approved the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and Westfield Capital Management Company, L.P. (“Westfield”) with respect to the Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund at an in-person meeting held on February 5-6, 2024, for an initial two-year term. As a result, the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Westfield was not required to be considered for renewed at the May 8-9, 2024 Board meeting.

In addition to the information identified above, the Board considered information provided from time to time by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, and other service providers of the Funds throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers relating to the performance of the Funds, as applicable, and the investment strategies used in pursuing each Fund’s investment objective.
The Independent Trustees were assisted throughout the contract review process by their Independent Counsel. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Agreements, and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to the Agreements were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each Fund.
Results of the Process
Based on a consideration of the foregoing and such other information as deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, at the meeting held on May 8-9, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the continuation of the Agreements effective June 1, 2024, for an additional year with respect to all Funds.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the Agreements, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each applicable Fund by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by each Fund, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund. The Board
State Street Institutional Funds
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract, continued — September 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
evaluated, where relevant, the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing particular markets, industries and specific issuers of securities in these markets and industries. The Board also considered the substantial expertise of the Adviser in developing and applying proprietary quantitative models for managing various Funds that invest primarily in equity securities. With respect to those Funds that invest primarily in fixed-income securities, the Board considered the extensive experience and resources committed by the Adviser to the evaluation of a portfolio’s quality distribution and sector and interest rate exposure. For the Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund, the Board considered the Adviser’s process used for overseeing multiple sub-advisers. The Board considered the extensive experience and resources committed by the Adviser to risk management, including with respect to investment risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, counterparty risk and model risk. Further, the Board considered material enhancements made to the risk management processes and systems over the past year. The Trustees also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Funds, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks. The Board also took into account the compensation paid to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Funds by senior management, as well as the Adviser’s succession planning process.
The Board had previously reviewed the compliance programs of SSGA FM and various Affiliated Service Providers. Among other things, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity, the allocation of investment opportunities and the voting of proxies.
In connection with their consideration of the services provided by each of the Sub-Advisers, the Board considered each Sub-Adviser’s attributes relating to its investment philosophy oriented toward long-term performance, its process for selecting investments, its experienced professionals, access to significant technological resources and a favorable history and reputation. The Board also considered the review process undertaken by SSGA FM and SSGA FM’s favorable assessment of the nature and quality of the investment sub-advisory services provided by each Sub-Adviser to the Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund. The Board also considered the Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund’s multi-manager structure and how each Sub-Adviser’s approach to small-cap investing fits within the Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund’s overall strategy.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser can be expected to continue to provide high quality investment management and related services for the Funds.
Fund Performance
The Board compared each Fund’s investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark and universe of comparable mutual funds for various time periods ended December 31, 2023. For purposes of these comparisons the Independent Trustees relied extensively on the Performance Group, Performance Universe and Benchmark and the analyses of the related data provided by Broadridge. Among other information, the Board considered the following performance information in its evaluation of each Fund:
State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s performance was above the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 5- and 10-year periods and was equal to the median of its Performance Group for the 3-year period. The Board also considered that the Fund’s performance was above the median of its Performance Universe for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund’s performance was above the Benchmark for the 1- and 5-year periods and was below the Benchmark for the 3- and 10-year periods.
State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s performance was below the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund’s performance was below the median of its Performance Universe for the 1- and 3-year periods and was above the median of its Performance Universe for the 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund’s performance was below the Benchmark for the 1-year period and was above the Benchmark for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.
State Street Institutional Funds
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract, continued — September 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the performance of each Fund is satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed the contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by each Fund and actual fees paid by each Fund, net of waivers, if any, as well as the fees paid to each of the Sub-Advisers by the Adviser, which reduced the net management fees retained by the Adviser. For the Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund, the Board also reviewed (i) the allocation of the total advisory fees between SSGA FM and the Sub-Advisers, and (ii) the services required of SSGA FM to oversee the Sub-Advisers for those services. As part of its review, the Board considered each Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio, including the portion attributable to administrative services provided by SSGA FM (both before and after giving effect to any expense caps), as compared to its Expense Group and Expense Universe, as constructed by Broadridge, and the related Broadridge analysis for each of the Funds. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to each Fund by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to the fees charged and services provided to other clients of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, including institutional accounts, as applicable. In addition, the Board considered the willingness of the Adviser to provide undertakings from time to time to waive fees or pay expenses of certain Funds to limit the total expenses borne by shareholders of such Funds. SSGA FM reviewed with the Board the Funds’ unitary fee structure where SSGA FM (and not the Funds) bears most of the Funds’ operating expenses, therefore affecting SSGA FM’s profitability. The Board also considered that the sub-advisory fees are paid by the Adviser out of its advisory fees it receives from the Funds and are not paid by the Funds. Among other information, the Board considered the following expense information in its evaluation of each Fund:
State Street Institutional U.S. Equity Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s actual management fee was below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Fund’s total expenses were below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe.
State Street Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s actual management fee was equal to the median of its Expense Group and was above the median of its Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Fund’s total expenses were below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, the Board concluded that the fees and the expense ratio of each Fund compare favorably to the fees and expenses of the Expense Group and Expense Universe and are reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Sub-Advisers in providing investment advisory and other services to each applicable Fund and to all funds within the fund complex. The Board considered other direct and indirect benefits received by the Adviser and Affiliated Service Providers and the Sub-Advisers in connection with their relationships with the applicable Funds, including, where applicable, soft dollar commission benefits generated through Fund portfolio transactions. The Board further considered the profitability of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to their services to the Funds and/or fund complex. The Board also considered the various risks borne by SSGA FM and State Street in connection with their various roles in servicing the Funds, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks.
The Board concluded that the profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Funds, and the profitability range of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to its services to the Funds, were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
The Board also considered that the sub-advisory fee rate under each Sub-Advisory Agreement was negotiated with each Sub-Adviser at arm’s length. In considering the profitability to each Sub-Adviser in connection with its relationship to the applicable Fund, the Trustees noted that the fees under the Sub-Advisory Agreement are paid by the Adviser out of the advisory fees that the Adviser receives from the Fund. For these reasons, the Board concluded that the
State Street Institutional Funds
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract, continued — September 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
profitability of each Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the Fund was not material to their deliberations with respect to the consideration of approval of the applicable Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and each Fund and the fund complex, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Funds increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific Fund or the fund complex taken as a whole. The Board noted that the advisory fee for each Fund contains breakpoints. The Board concluded that, in light of the current size of each Fund and the fund complex, the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to each Fund and the fund complex over various time periods, and the comparative management fee and expense ratio of each Fund during these periods, it does not appear that the Adviser or its affiliates has realized benefits from economies of scale in managing the assets of the Funds to such an extent that previously agreed advisory fees should be reduced or that additional breakpoints in such fees should be implemented for any Fund at this time. The Board noted that the fees under the Sub-Advisory Agreements are paid by the Adviser out of the advisory fees that the Adviser receives under the Advisory Agreement. Therefore, the Board concluded that the potential for economies of scale in each Sub-Adviser’s management of the Institutional Small-Cap Equity Fund is not a material factor to the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Conclusions
In reaching its decision to approve the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor as being controlling, but based its recommendation on each of the factors it considered. Each Trustee may have contributed different weight to the various factors. Based upon the materials reviewed, the representations made and the considerations described above, and as part of its deliberations, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Adviser and Sub-Advisers possess the capability and resources to perform the duties required of them under the Agreements.
Further, based upon its review of the Agreements, the materials provided, and the considerations described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that (1) the terms of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements are reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of each Fund and its respective shareholders, and (2) the rates payable under the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made for services of the same nature and quality.
