Notes to Performance Summaries (Unaudited)
The performance chart of a Fund’s total return at net asset value (“NAV”), the total return based on market price and its benchmark index is provided for comparative purposes only and represents the periods noted. A Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of a Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of a Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of a Fund. The market price used to calculate the market return is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the exchange on which the shares of a Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that a Fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in a Fund at NAV. Market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included market returns would be lower.
An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not reflect deductions for fees or expenses. In comparison, a Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Index returns reflect all items of income, gain and loss and the reinvestment of dividends and other income.
The SPDR Nuveen Municipal Bond ETF has less than six months of operations as of June 30, 2021 and, therefore, the Management's Discussion of Fund Performance and Performance Summary are not included in this report.
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government Inflation-linked Bond Index includes publicly issued, U.S. Treasury inflation protected securities that have at least 1 year remaining to maturity on index rebalancing date, with an issue size equal to or in excess of $500 million.

The notional coupon of a bond must be fixed or zero. Bonds must settle on or before the index rebalancing date.
The DBIQ Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Index Excess Return employs a rule based approach when it rolls from one futures contract to another for each commodity in the index.

SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve real return consisting of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund’s primary benchmark is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 37.12%, and the Index was 6.51%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, 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.
The allocations to commodities and global natural resource equities were the primary drivers with global infrastructure equities and real estate via Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) providing additional support of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. Broad-based commodities and global natural resources equities enjoyed a resounding recovery during the early months of the reporting period as industrial production ramped back up, Chinese demand continued to recover and supply in certain markets was curtailed on account of the global pandemic. However, rising infections in the later periods of 2020 portended weaker U.S. gasoline demand and plateauing mobility readings weighed on sentiment. Gold was added to provide some downside protection. However, that was short-lived as the precious metal lost its shine as the reflation theme emerged. As the end of 2020 approached the view of the commodities complex and natural resource equities became attractive with favorable prospects across energy, industrial metals, and agriculture with positive price momentum and improved futures curve dynamics. In 2021, robust oil demand and supply discipline, the continuation of vaccine rollouts and easing of mobility restrictions buoyed the energy sector while a combination of strong and increasing consumer demand coupled with the push for green energy supported industrial metals. The global economic recovery, highlighted by surging trade off pandemic lows, supply-chain disruptions, along with anticipated bold U.S. infrastructure spending plans provided further support for infrastructure equities. The portfolio continued to diversify its growth asset exposure with healthy allocations to commodities, global natural resource and infrastructure equities. In 2020, the outlook for REITs was weak with high financial leverage, negative valuations and weakening earnings and sales estimates. Further, still stringent social distancing guidelines and only gradual re-openings continue to pressure real estate and impact cash flows and dividends. Brighter prospects of economic reopening and supportive risk appetite supported real estate in 2021, but our outlook was not as positive relative to other reflationary asset options more closely tied to the elevated inflation prints observed in 2021. Inflation expectations in the U.S. as measured by the 5-year breakeven rate recovered to near pre-COVID-19 levels in the third quarter of 2020 and proceeded to exceed them in 2021 as investors contemplated the potential for rising inflation to be more than transitory. Coupled with plentiful fiscal and monetary stimulus, positioning in assets such as commodities and global natural resources rebounded strongly from the pandemic lows of 2020 over the reporting period.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the reporting period.
On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis were the Invesco Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (PDBC), SPDR Global Natural Resources EFT (GNR), and SPDR S&P Metals and Mining ETF(XME). The lowest contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis were the DB Gold Fund (DGL) SPDR Portfolio TIPS ETF (SPIP), and SPDR FTSE International Government Inflation-Protected Bond ETF (WIP).

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and the Adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide total return by focusing on investments in income and yield-generating assets. The Fund’s benchmark is the MSCI World Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 21.90%, and the Index was 39.04%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, 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.
Broad diversification across global asset classes, allocations to several high dividend equity markets as well as asset allocation positioning were primary drivers of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. While the world continued to grapple with the pandemic associated with COVID-19, financial markets delivered mostly strong performance as economies were supported by significant monetary and fiscal policy actions globally. And the rapid development of a vaccine enabled economic reopening, especially in developed markets. Many equity markets delivered performance over the past year that exceeded 40% while a recovering economy, increased inflation expectations as well as concerns over monetary policy withdrawal led to losses for many fixed income investments. The broad diversification held in the Fund was the primary detractor of performance compared with the Index, which is solely composed of equity securities. While most of the securities held by the Fund did advance over the past year, the government bond ETF held in the portfolio declined in value and some higher beta fixed income and hybrid securities such as preferred stocks did not deliver the same level of total return as broad-based equity markets. Additionally, several relatively high income equity assets owned by the fund including international dividend equities and REITs lagged other market cap weighted equities. Asset allocation positioning for the Fund contributed favorably to performance as the Fund concentrated its holdings in areas that tend to do well as capital markets recover and economic growth accelerates such as equities and credit assets within fixed income. However, when compared against an all-equity index the overall results of the Fund still lagged.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.
On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF, the iShares Mortgage Real Estate ETF and the SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Convertible Securities ETF. The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period was the SPDR Portfolio Long Term Treasury ETF.

SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize current income consistent with preservation of capital and daily liquidity. The Fund’s benchmark is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Bellwether 3 Month Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 1.34%, and the Index was 0.09%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, 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.
The Fund’s allocation to investment grade corporate credit floating rate notes (“FRN”) was the primary driver of the Fund’s out-performance of the Index during the Reporting Period. During the Reporting Period, there was the discovery and broad U.S distribution of multiple COVID-19 vaccines, which led to a significant increase in U.S. economic activity. During the Reporting Period, the Fed maintained the Fed Funds rate at 0.25%. Also during the Reporting Period, the Fed’s balance sheet grew from $7.1 trillion to $8.1 trillion. Finally, the U.S. government passed legislation during the Reporting Period that resulted in roughly $2.8 trillion of new fiscal stimulus. The combination of the discovery and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, above-trend economic activity, and continued government stimulus were the key drivers to the significant tightening of FRN spreads observed during the Reporting Period. The Fund maintained a duration profile near the middle of its 0.25 to 0.75 range during the Reporting Period.
As of the June 30, 2021, the Fund’s asset allocation consisted of U.S. Treasuries (2.7%), Credit-Financial (25.1%), Credit-Industrial (30.8%), Credit-Non Corp (7.6%), ABS (10.2%), CMBS (7.9%) and Cash (15.8%).
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2021
1. Organization
SSGA Active Trust (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 June 30, 2021, the Trust consists of eleven (11) series, 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 with no par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF |
SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF |
SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF |
SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF |
SPDR Nuveen Municipal Bond ETF |
Each Fund is classified as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act, with the exception of SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF, which is a non-diversified investment company.
The SPDR Nuveen Municipal Bond ETF commenced operations on February 3, 2021.
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 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
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
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.
• Government and municipal fixed income securities are generally valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers. Certain government inflation-indexed securities may require a calculated fair valuation as the cumulative inflation is contained within the price provided by the pricing service or broker. For these securities, the inflation component of the price is “cleaned” from the pricing service or broker price utilizing the published inflation factors in order to ensure proper accrual of income.
• Debt obligations (including short-term investments and convertible debt securities) are valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers or are generally valued at the last reported evaluated prices.
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 June 30, 2021, is disclosed in each Fund’s respective Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale and disposition of investments are determined using the identified cost method.
Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized daily 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.

June 30, 2021
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.
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 gain 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 June 30, 2021, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Equalization
The Funds follow the accounting practice known as “Equalization” by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring Fund shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of distributable net investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or reacquisition of Fund shares. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Distributions
Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF, SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF and SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF and declared and paid monthly for SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF and SPDR Nuveen Municipal Bond ETF.
Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times to improve Index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Internal Revenue Code”). 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.

SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF
| 22,134,357 | | 33,256,043 | | 6,305,886 |
6. Shareholder Transactions
Each Fund issues and redeems its shares, at NAV, by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund may consist of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash . Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to the Trust and/or custodian, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Other Capital” on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
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. SPDR Nuveen Municipal Bond ETF intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Each Fund will not be subject to federal income
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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 each 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.
Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net asset values or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments for character of distributions, in-kind transactions, partnership basis adjustments, distributions in excess of current earnings, amortization and accretion of premium and discount for financial statement purposes, paydown gains and losses and wash sale loss deferrals. In additions, certain funds claimed a portion of the payments made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended June 30, 2021, was as follows:
| Ordinary Income | | Tax Exempt Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |

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 June 30, 2021, 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 June 30, 2021:

9. Line of Credit
The SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) have access to $200 million of 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 2021 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 paid by the Adviser. A Participant incurs and pays the interest expense related to its borrowing. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1.25% plus the New York Fed Bank Rate. Prior to October 8, 2020, interest was 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 Fund had no outstanding loans as of June 30, 2021.
10. Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Funds' 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 Funds' investments more than if the Funds were more broadly diversified.
Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk
Investing in foreign markets involves risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of government regulation, economic, political and social instability in the countries in which the Funds invest. Foreign markets may be less liquid than investments in

the U.S. and may be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations. To the extent that the Funds invest in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be even more pronounced.
Credit Risk
A Fund may 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.
Market Risk
Each Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, 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 or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets experienced and may continue to experience extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments was and may continue to be disrupted as a result. Liquidity for many instruments was and may continue to be greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to a Fund by its service providers.
11. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The relief provided is temporary and generally cannot be applied to contract modifications that occur after December 31, 2022, or hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after that date. However, the FASB has indicated that it will revisit the sunset date in Topic 848 after the LIBOR administrator makes a final decision on a phaseout date. On November 30, 2020, the LIBOR administrator proposed extending the publication of the overnight and the one-, three-, six- and 12-month USD LIBOR settings through June 30, 2023, when many existing contracts that reference LIBOR will have expired. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance.
12. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds 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.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF, SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF, SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF, SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF and SPDR Nuveen Municipal Bond ETF (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) (five of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”)), including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2021, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below 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 (five of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust) at June 30, 2021, and the results of their operations, changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, 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 June 30, 2021, 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.

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 other Fund expenses. This 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. It is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021.
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 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (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.

Approval of Advisory Agreement
At meetings held prior to June 30, 2021, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) evaluated proposals to continue the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust and SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) with respect to the following series of SSGA Active Trust: SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF, SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF, SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF and SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF (the “Funds”). The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), also met separately to consider the Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the Agreement, the Board requested, and SSGA FM, the Trust’s investment adviser and administrator, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s sub-administrator, transfer agent and custodian (“State Street”) provided, such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary. In deciding whether to approve the Agreement, the Board considered various factors, including the (i) nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Funds under the Agreement, (ii) investment performance of the Funds, (iii) profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Trust, (iv) fees charged to comparable funds, (v) other benefits to the Adviser, and (vi) extent to which economies of scale would be shared as the Funds grow.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser. In doing so, the Trustees relied on their prior experience in overseeing the management of the Trust and the materials provided prior to and at the meetings. The Board reviewed the Agreement and the Adviser’s responsibilities for managing investment operations of each of the Funds in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Board appreciated the nature of the Funds as exchange-traded funds and the experience and expertise of the Adviser in managing exchange-traded funds. The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management, oversight of sub-advisers and regulatory compliance of the Funds. The Board also considered the portfolio management resources, structures and practices of the Adviser, including those associated with monitoring and ensuring each Fund’s compliance with its investment objectives and policies, and applicable laws and regulations. The Board further considered information about the Adviser’s best execution procedures and overall investment management business, noting that the Adviser serves a wide range of clients across a broad spectrum of asset classes. The Board looked at the Adviser’s general knowledge of the investment management business and that of its affiliates which make up State Street Global Advisors, through which the Adviser shares all of its senior personnel. The Board considered that the Adviser and its affiliates constitute one of the world’s largest investment management enterprises for exchange-traded funds. The Board specifically considered the Adviser’s experience in managing actively-managed exchange-traded funds.
Investment Performance
The Board compared the investment performance of each series of the Trust to the performance of an appropriate benchmark (gross of expenses) and to the perfornace of a group of comparable funds (net of expenses) (“Performance Group”) obtained from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”). Among other information, the Board considered the following performance information over various periods ended December 31, 2020 in its evaluation of the Funds:
SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year, and since inception periods.
SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the 1-, 3- and 5-year, and since inception periods.

SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5- year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the 1-, 3- and 5-year, and since inception periods.
SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3-, 5-year and since inception periods.
In those instances where the Board observed underperformance for an extended period of time, the Trustees discussed with management those factors that contributed to such underperformance and steps being taken in response to such factors, where appropriate.
Profits Realized by Adviser
The Board considered the profitability of the advisory arrangement with the Funds to the Adviser and its affiliates, including data on the Funds’ historical profitability to these entities. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, with their independent legal counsel, had the opportunity to discuss, with representatives of the Adviser and State Street, methodologies used in computing costs that formed the bases of profitability calculations.
Fees Charged to Comparable Funds
The Board evaluated each Fund’s unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar funds – i.e., exchange-traded funds that are actively managed. The Board reviewed the universe of similar exchange-traded funds for each Fund based upon data independently obtained from Broadridge and related comparative information for similar exchange-traded funds. In doing so, the Board used a fund by fund analysis of the data. In certain instances as considered appropriate by the Board, the Board explored with management the reasons for the differences between a Fund’s fee and fees paid by similar funds.
Other Benefits
The Board also considered whether the Adviser or its affiliates benefited in other ways from its relationship with the Trust, noting that the Adviser does not maintain soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Trust’s brokerage transactions.
Economies of Scale
The Board reviewed information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result as each Fund’s assets grow in size. The Board noted that the advisory fee rate for each Fund does not provide for breakpoints as assets of the Fund increase. However, the Board further noted the Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration for the Funds by fixing relatively low advisory fees, effectively sharing the benefits of lower fees with the Funds from inception. The Adviser also asserted that one of the benefits of the unitary fee was to provide an unvarying expense structure, which could be lost or diluted with the addition of breakpoints. The Board noted that it intends to continue to monitor fees as the Funds grow in size and assess whether fee breakpoints may be warranted.

Conclusion
After weighing the foregoing factors, none of which was dispositive in itself and may have been weighed differently by each Trustee, the Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the continuation of the Agreement for each Fund. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Funds were appropriate; (b) the performance of the Fund had been satisfactory or the Advisor had demonstrated due attention to the remediation of underperformance, where appropriate; (c) the Adviser’s unitary fee for each Fund considered in relation to the services provided, and in relation to the fees charged to comparable funds, was reasonable; (d) the profitability of the Trusts’ relationships with the Adviser and its affiliates was not excessive in view of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided; (e) any additional potential benefits to the Adviser or its affiliates were not of a magnitude to materially affect the Board’s conclusions; and (f) the fees paid to the Adviser adequately shared the economies of scale with respect to the Funds by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trust.

Approval of Advisory Agreement
At a meeting held prior to June 30, 2021, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) evaluated a proposal related to the initial approval of advisory arrangements for a new series of the Trust, including a proposal to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust and SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) with respect to the SPDR Nuveen Municipal Bond ETF (the “New ETF”), which commenced operations during the period covered by this Annual Report. The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), also met separately to consider the Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the Agreement, the Board requested, and SSGA FM, the Trust’s investment adviser and administrator, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s sub-administrator, transfer agent and custodian (“State Street”) provided, such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided by the Adviser. In doing so, the Trustees relied on their prior experience in overseeing the management of the Trust and materials provided prior to and at the meeting. The Board reviewed the Agreement and the Adviser’s anticipated responsibilities for managing investment operations of the New ETF in accordance with the New ETF’s investment objective and policies, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Board appreciated the nature of the New ETF as an exchange-traded fund and the experience and expertise of the Adviser with exchange-traded funds. The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management and regulatory compliance of the New ETF. The Board also considered the portfolio management resources, structures and practices of the Adviser, including those associated with monitoring and securing the New ETF’s compliance with its investment objective and policies and with applicable laws and regulations. The Board also considered information about the Adviser’s overall investment management business, noting that the Adviser serves a wide range of clients across a broad spectrum of asset classes. The Board looked at the Adviser’s general knowledge of the investment management business and that of its affiliates which make up State Street Global Advisors, through which the Adviser shares all of its senior personnel. The Board considered that the Adviser and its affiliates constitute one of the world’s largest investment management enterprises for indexed products generally and exchange-traded funds in particular. The Board specifically considered the Adviser’s experience in managing fixed income exchange-traded funds with index-based investment objectives and overseeing third-party sub-advisers, as applicable.
Fees Charged to Comparable Funds
The Board evaluated the New ETF’s proposed unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar funds. The Board reviewed the universe of exchange-traded funds similar to the New ETF based upon data independently obtained from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. and related comparative information.
Other Benefits
The Board considered whether the Adviser or its affiliates would benefit in other ways from its relationship with the New ETF. The Board also considered the potential for revenue to State Street, the Trust’s securities lending agent, in the event of any loaning of portfolio securities of the New ETF. The Board also noted that the Adviser does not maintain soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Trust’s brokerage transactions.

Approval of Nuveen Asset Management Sub-Advisory Agreement
At a meeting held prior to June 30, 2021, the Board also evaluated a proposal related to the initial approval of a sub-advisory arrangement (the “Nuveen Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and Nuveen Asset Management (“Nuveen”), with respect to the New ETF sub-advised by Nuveen (the “New Nuveen ETF”). The Independent Trustees also met separately to consider the Nuveen Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the Nuveen Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board requested, and Nuveen and the Adviser provided, such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary. In deciding whether to approve the Nuveen Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, including the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Nuveen with respect to the New Nuveen ETF under the Nuveen Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board was informed of the portion of the current advisory fee that the Adviser would pay to Nuveen under the Nuveen Sub-Advisory Agreement and also considered that such fees would be paid directly by the Adviser and would not result in increased fees payable by the New Nuveen ETF.
The Board considered the background and experience of Nuveen’s senior management and, in particular, Nuveen’s experience in investing in municipal securities. The Board also considered the unitary fee paid to the Adviser by the New Nuveen ETF and Nuveen’s fees paid by the Adviser. The Board also considered whether Nuveen benefited in other ways from its relationship with the Trust.
After weighing the foregoing factors, as well as the relevant factors discussed in relation to the Nuveen Sub-Advisory Agreement between Nuveen and the Adviser, none of which was dispositive in itself and may have been weighed differently by each Trustee, the Board, including the independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Nuveen Sub-Advisory Agreement for the New Nuveen ETF. In approving the Nuveen Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, found that, with respect to the New Nuveen ETF, the terms of the Nuveen Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the New Nuveen ETF and its shareholders. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Nuveen with respect to the Nuveen ETFs were appropriate; (b) Nuveen’s fees for the New Nuveen ETF and the unitary fee, considered in relation to the services provided, were reasonable; (c) any additional potential benefits to Nuveen were not of a magnitude to materially affect the Board’s conclusions; and (d) the fees paid to Nuveen adequately shared the economies of scale with the New Nuveen ETF by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trust.

ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETF's net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.
Because the Funds are actively managed, they are therefore subject to the risk that the investments selected by SSGA may cause the Funds to underperform relative to their benchmarks or other funds with similar investment objectives. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.
Foreign investments involve greater risks than U.S. investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations, all of which may be magnified in emerging markets.
Bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, but contain interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall); issuer default risk; issuer credit risk; liquidity risk; and inflation risk. These effects are usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.
Investing in commodities entail significant risk and is not appropriate for all investors. Commodities investing entail significant risk as commodity prices can be extremely volatile due to wide range of factors. A few such factors include overall market movements, real or perceived inflationary trends, commodity index volatility, international, economic and political changes, change in interest and currency exchange rates.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index performance does not reflect charges and expenses
associated with the fund or brokerage commissions associated with buying and selling a fund. Index performance is not meant to represent that of any particular fund.

Notes to Performance Summaries (Unaudited)
The performance chart of a Fund’s total return at net asset value (“NAV”), the total return based on market price and its benchmark index is provided for comparative purposes only and represents the periods noted. A Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of a Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of a Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of a Fund. The market price used to calculate the market return is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the exchange on which the shares of a Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that a Fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in a Fund at NAV. Market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included market returns would be lower.
An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not reflect deductions for fees or expenses. In comparison, a Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Index returns reflect all items of income, gain and loss and the reinvestment of dividends and other income.
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") is designed to measure the performance of the U.S. dollar denominated investment grade bond market, which includes investment grade (must be Baa3/BBB- or higher using the middle rating of Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Financial Services, LLC, and Fitch Inc.) government bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, mortgage pass through securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and other asset backed securities that are publicly for sale in the United States.
The S&P 500® Index is composed of five hundred (500) selected stocks, all of which are listed on national stock exchanges and spans approximately 24 separate industry groups.

SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation
Management Discussion Of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide total return by focusing on investments in income and yield-generating assets. The Fund’s benchmark is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 0.29%, and the Index was –0.33%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, 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.
Asset allocation positioning and active rotation across fixed income sectors were primary drivers of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. While the world continued to grapple with the pandemic associated with COVID-19, financial markets delivered mostly strong performance as economies were supported by significant monetary and fiscal policy actions globally. And the rapid development of a vaccine enabled economic reopening, especially in developed markets. Many equity markets delivered performance over the past year that exceeded 40% while a recovering economy, increased inflation expectations as well as concerns over monetary policy withdrawal led to losses for many fixed income investments. The Fund was able to achieve positive absolute returns and outperform its benchmark largely due to investments made in credit sectors during the fourth quarter of 2020 as well as shifting to target a duration overweight during the second quarter of 2021. During the fourth quarter of 2020 the Fund held an overweight in investment grade credit and that position appreciated as credit spreads collapsed following a relatively benign US election outcome and news that effective COVID vaccines had been developed. The Fund also maintained an overweight duration position, largely implemented through long term corporate bonds, which contributed to favorable results during the second quarter of 2020. The position benefited the portfolio as interest rates stabilized and then declined following an interest rate scare early in the year as well as numerous inflation prints which exhibited elevated readings as the US and global economies rolled over the 1-year anniversary mark from some of the economic depths of the COVID crisis.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.
The views expressed above reflect those of the Fund’s portfolio manager only through the Reporting Period, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Adviser as a whole. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and the Adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any fund.

SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF
Management Discussion Of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation. The Fund’s benchmark is the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 36.48%, and the Index was 40.79%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, 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.
Active allocation across U.S. sectors was the primary driver of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. While the world continued to grapple with the pandemic associated with COVID-19, financial markets delivered mostly strong performance as economies were supported by significant monetary and fiscal policy actions globally. And the rapid development of a vaccine enabled economic reopening, especially in developed markets. Many equity markets delivered performance over the past year that exceeded 40% while a recovering economy, increased inflation expectations as well as concerns over monetary policy withdrawal led to losses for many fixed income investments. Over the Reporting Period all U.S. equity sectors delivered positive absolute returns as equity markets recovered from the volatility brought on by the pandemic but there was still significant dispersion across sectors. While the Fund also delivered positive absolute returns, it trailed the Index primarily due to overweight or underweight allocations across consumer staples and financials. Our modeling favored consumer staples during the second half of 2020 based on favorable quality and sentiment characteristics. However, the sector trailed the broader market during the recovery. The financial sector contributed negatively because the Fund held an underweight allocation around the turn of 2020/2021 as economic growth accelerated, interest rates increased and the sector outperformed.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.
On an sector level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund, the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund and the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund. None of the sector allocations held by the Fund had negative absolute returns over the Reporting Period.
The views expressed above reflect those of the Fund’s portfolio manager only through the Reporting Period, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Adviser as a whole. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and the Adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2021
1. Organization
SSGA Active Trust (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 June 30, 2021, the Trust consists of eleven (11) series, 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 with no par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF |
SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF |
Each Fund is classified as a diversified investment company under 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
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
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 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.
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.
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund's NAV and the prices used by the Funds' underlying benchmarks. 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
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
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 June 30, 2021, 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 are determined using the identified cost method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized daily 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.
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.
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
Equalization
The Funds follow the accounting practice known as “Equalization” by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring Fund shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of distributable net investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or reacquisition of Fund shares. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Distributions
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly for SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF and declared and paid quarterly for SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF.
Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times to improve Index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Internal Revenue Code”). 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 Trust on behalf of each Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSGA FM. As compensation for services rendered, facilities furnished, and expenses borne by the Adviser, each Fund pays the Adviser a fee (“Management/Advisory fee”) accrued daily and paid monthly, based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the following table:
| Annual Rate |
SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF
| 0.50% |
SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF
| 0.70 |
Each Fund's Advisory fee is reduced by any acquired fund fees and expenses attributable to each Fund's investments in other investment companies. For the period ended June 30, 2021, the net annualized advisory fee was 0.39%, and
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
0.52%, for SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF and SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF respectively.
The Adviser pays all expenses of each Fund other than the management fee, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including any Trustee’s counsel fees), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.
Administrator, Custodian, Sub-Administrator and Transfer Agent Fees
SSGA FM serves as administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent. State Street receives fees for its services as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent from the Adviser.
Distributor
State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors, LLC (“SSGA FD” or the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the distributor of the Trust.
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 year ended June 30, 2021 are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.
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 Funds. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
5. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions and short term investments) for the year ended June 30, 2021, were as follows:
| Purchases | | Sales |
SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF
| $ 47,759,866 | | $ 47,016,793 |
SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF
| 281,257,845 | | 281,588,516 |
For the year ended June 30, 2021, the following Funds had in-kind contributions and net realized gains/losses in the amounts as follows:
| In-kind Contributions | | In-kind Redemptions | | In-kind Net Realized Gains/(Losses) |
SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF
| $ 55,221,982 | | $18,047,095 | | $ 601,242 |
SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF
| 127,277,309 | | 50,442,513 | | 10,630,124 |
6. Shareholder Transactions
Each Fund issues and redeems its shares, at NAV, by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund may consist of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash . Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to the Trust and/or custodian, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Other Capital” on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
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. Each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
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 each Fund's tax positions and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net asset values or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments for in-kind transactions, distributions in excess of current earnings and wash sale loss deferrals. In addition, certain funds claimed a portion of the payments made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended June 30, 2021, was as follows:
| Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF
| $1,399,502 | | $— | | $1,399,502 |

| 212,806,785 | | 11,643,327 | | 510,915 | | 11,132,412 |
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.
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
The market value of securities on loan as of June 30, 2021, 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.

9. Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Funds' ability to invest a large percentage of their assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Funds' investments more than if the Funds' were more broadly diversified.
Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk
Investing in foreign markets involves risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of government regulation, economic, political and social instability in the countries in which the Funds invest. Foreign markets may be less liquid than investments in the U.S. and may be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations. To the extent that the Funds invest in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be even more pronounced.
Credit Risk
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 a Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Market Risk
Each Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, 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 or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world,
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
including the United States. Financial markets experienced and may continue to experience extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments was and may continue to be disrupted as a result. Liquidity for many instruments was and may continue to be greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to a Fund by its service providers.
10. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds 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.
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF and SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF and the Board of Trustees of SSGA Active Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF and SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) (two of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”)), including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2021, 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 two years in the period then ended and the period from April 3, 2019 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2019, 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 (two of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust) at June 30, 2021, 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 two years in the period then ended and the period from April 3, 2019 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2019, 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
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM (continued)
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 June 30, 2021, 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 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 other Fund expenses. This 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. It is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021.
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 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (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.

Approval of Advisory Agreement
At meetings held prior to June 30, 2021, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) evaluated proposals to continue the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust and SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) with respect to the SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF and the SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF (the “Funds”). The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), also met separately to consider the Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the Agreement, the Board requested, and SSGA FM, the Trust’s investment adviser and administrator, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s sub-administrator, transfer agent and custodian (“State Street”) provided, such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary. In deciding whether to approve the Agreement, the Board considered various factors, including the (i) nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Funds under the Agreement, (ii) fees charged to comparable funds, (iii) other benefits to the Adviser, and (iv) extent to which economies of scale would be shared as the Funds grow.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser. In doing so, the Trustees relied on their prior experience in overseeing the management of the Trust and the materials provided prior to and at the meetings. The Board reviewed the Agreement and the Adviser’s responsibilities for managing investment operations of each of the Funds in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Board appreciated the nature of the Funds as exchange-traded funds and the experience and expertise of the Adviser in managing exchange-traded funds. The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management, oversight of sub-advisers and regulatory compliance of the Funds. The Board also considered the portfolio management resources, structures and practices of the Adviser, including those associated with monitoring and ensuring each Fund’s compliance with its investment objectives and policies, and applicable laws and regulations. The Board further considered information about the Adviser’s best execution procedures and
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
overall investment management business, noting that the Adviser serves a wide range of clients across a broad spectrum of asset classes. The Board looked at the Adviser’s general knowledge of the investment management business and that of its affiliates which make up State Street Global Advisors, through which the Adviser shares all of its senior personnel. The Board considered that the Adviser and its affiliates constitute one of the world’s largest investment management enterprises for exchange-traded funds. The Board specifically considered the Adviser’s experience in managing actively-managed exchange-traded funds.
Investment Performance
The Board compared the investment performance of each series of the Trust to the performance of an appropriate benchmark (gross of expenses) and to the performance of a group of comparable funds (net of expenses) (“Performance Group”) obtained from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”). Among other information, the Board considered the following performance information over various periods ended December 31, 2020 in its evaluation of the Funds:
SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the most recent 1-year period. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1-year and since inception periods.
SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the most recent 1-year period. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the 1-year and since inception periods.
Profits Realized by Adviser
The Board considered the profitability of the advisory arrangement with the Funds to the Adviser and its affiliates, including data on the Funds’ historical profitability to these entities. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, with their independent legal counsel, had the opportunity to discuss, with representatives of the Adviser and State Street, methodologies used in computing costs that formed the bases of profitability calculations.

Fees Charged to Comparable Funds
The Board evaluated each Fund’s unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar funds – i.e., exchange-traded funds that are actively managed. The Board reviewed the universe of similar exchange-traded funds for each Fund based upon data independently obtained from Broadridge and related comparative information for similar exchange-traded funds. In doing so, the Board used a fund by fund analysis of the data. In certain instances as considered appropriate by the Board, the Board explored with management the reasons for the differences between a Fund’s fee and fees paid by similar funds.
Other Benefits
The Board also considered whether the Adviser or its affiliates benefited in other ways from its relationship with the Trust, noting that the Adviser does not maintain soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Trust’s brokerage transactions.
Economies of Scale
The Board reviewed information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result as each Fund’s assets grow in size. The Board noted that the advisory fee rate for each Fund does not provide for breakpoints as assets of the Fund increase. However, the Board further noted the Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration for the Funds by fixing relatively low advisory fees, effectively sharing the benefits of lower fees with the Funds from inception. The Adviser also asserted that one of the benefits of the unitary fee was to provide an unvarying expense structure, which could be lost or diluted with the addition of breakpoints. The Board noted that it intends to continue to monitor fees as the Funds grow in size and assess whether fee breakpoints may be warranted.
Conclusion
After weighing the foregoing factors, none of which was dispositive in itself and may have been weighed differently by each Trustee, the Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the continuation of the Agreement for each Fund. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Funds were appropriate; (b) the performance of the Funds had been satisfactory; (c) the Adviser’s unitary fee for each Fund considered in relation to the services provided, and in relation to the fees

charged to comparable funds, was reasonable; (d) the profitability of the Trust’s relationships with the Adviser and its affiliates was not excessive in view of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided; (e) any additional potential benefits to the Adviser or its affiliates were not of a magnitude to materially affect the Board’s conclusions; and (f) the fees paid to the Adviser adequately shared the economies of scale with respect to the Funds by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trust.

ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETF's net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.
Foreign investments involve greater risks than U.S. investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations, all of which may be magnified in emerging markets.
Bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, but contain interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall); issuer default risk; issuer credit risk; liquidity risk; and inflation risk. These effects are usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.
Investing in commodities entail significant risk and is not appropriate for all investors. Commodities investing entail significant risk as commodity prices can be extremely volatile due to wide range of factors. A few such factors include overall market movements, real or perceived inflationary trends, commodity index volatility, international, economic and political changes, change in interest and currency exchange rates.

Notes to Performance Summaries (Unaudited)
The performance chart of a Fund’s total return at net asset value (“NAV”), the total return based on market price and its benchmark index is provided for comparative purposes only and represents the periods noted. A Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of a Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of a Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of a Fund. The market price used to calculate the market return is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the exchange on which the shares of a Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that a Fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in a Fund at NAV. Market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included market returns would be lower.
An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not reflect deductions for fees or expenses. In comparison, a Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Index returns reflect all items of income, gain and loss and the reinvestment of dividends and other income.
The JP Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index Broad Diversified is a market capitalization weighted index consisting of U.S. dollar denominated emerging market corporate bonds.
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate 1-3 Year Index provides a measure of the performance of the U.S. dollar denominated investment grade bond market that have a remaining maturity of greater than or equal to 1 year and less than 3 years.
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index is designed to measure the performance of the U.S. dollar denominated investment grade bond market, which includes investment grade government bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, mortgage pass through securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and other asset backed securities that are publicly for sale in the United States. The Index is market capitalization weighted and the securities in the Index are updated on the last business day of each month.

SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF
Management Discussion Of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return from current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s benchmark is the JP Morgan Corporate Emerging Market Bond Index Broad Diversified (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 7.09%, and the Index was 8.67%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, 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.
Lower allocation to high yield credits, and higher allocation to sovereign credits were the primary drivers of Fund underperformance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. Over the 12-month period, high yield credits significantly outperformed their investment grade counterparts, while corporate credits outperformed their sovereign counterparts.
Notes:
• | Emerging market sovereign and corporate external bonds posted positive performance in the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021 against a backdrop of a nascent global economic recovery supported by significant fiscal and monetary policy responses by governments and central banks in developed and emerging markets to the severe shock to global growth and commodity prices induced by the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. |
• | The JPMorgan CEMBI Broad Diversified Index’s positive return in the 12-month period was driven by significant spread performance, with the spread over U.S Treasuries narrowing by 143 bps to 296 bps, and offsetting the impact of higher Treasury yields. |
• | All regions across the corporate index posted positive returns. Africa was the best performing region, while Asia had the least positive return. |
• | The U.S. Treasury curve steepened over the 12-month period. 2 year UST yields rose 10 bps over the 12-month period to end at 0.25%, while 10 year U.S. Treasury yields rose 81 bps over the 12-month period to end at 1.47%. |
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.
The views expressed above reflect those of the Fund’s portfolio manager only through the Reporting Period, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Adviser as a whole. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and the Adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any fund.

SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF
Management Discussion Of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize current income with a dollar-weighted average effective duration between one and three years. The Fund’s benchmark is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate 1-3 Year Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 1.70%, and the Index was 0.36%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, 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.
The primary driver of outperformance was asset allocation as the portfolio maintained a higher credit allocation versus the benchmark. This contributed positively to performance as credit spreads tightened while the fundamental view on credit risk improved over the course of the reporting period. In terms of asset allocation, nearly half of the Fund was comprised of U.S. Treasuries and Agency MBS compared to almost eighty percent of the index. Duration return as a factor of performance was negligible as the duration positioning of the Fund was similar to the duration positioning of the benchmark.
Every sector of the Fund delivered positive total returns with high yield corporate bonds being the best-performing sector. Performance from corporate credit sectors such as high yield and investment grade corporate bonds can be attributed to strength in the underlying view of fundamental corporate credit risk since the COVID related tumult. Emerging market bonds enjoyed positive returns as commodities rallied while countries loosened restrictions and supply shortages began to form. Structured fixed income sectors such as commercial MBS and asset-backed securities contributed positively to performance as the approval of a COVID-19 vaccine seemed essential for the sectors’ rebound. In addition, delinquency rates on acutely affected commercial properties, such as hotels, began to taper, while consumer balance sheet’s improved notably driven by the stimulus payments received from the U.S. Department of Treasury. Non-Agency RMBS benefitted from improved delinquency rates along with robust housing market data. Collateralized loan obligations delivered positive returns as credit outlook improved and investors piled into floating rate assets during the first quarter of 2021. Agency MBS benefitted from notable demand from banks driving spreads tighter while U.S. Treasuries had menial positive returns as short term U.S. Treasury rates were muted.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the reporting period.
The top three positive contributing sectors to the performance of the Fund were high yield corporate bonds, Commercial MBS, and investment grade corporate bonds. While no sector delivered negative total returns, the U.S. Treasury allocation lagged other sectors on a contribution basis, followed by Collateralized loan obligations and asset-backed securities.
The views expressed above reflect those of the Fund’s portfolio manager only through the Reporting Period, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Adviser as a whole. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and the Adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any fund.

SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF
Management Discussion Of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize current income with a dollar-weighted average effective duration between one and three years. The Fund’s benchmark is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund as measured by NAV was 0.81%, and the Index was –0.33%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, 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.
The primary drivers of outperformance were asset allocation and duration positioning. In terms of asset allocation, the Fund maintained roughly thirty-seven percent weighting to credit risk sectors compared to approximately thirty percent in the benchmark. This contributed positively to outperformance as the credit allocation of the Fund maintained a shorter duration than the benchmark, benefitting the Fund when asset prices rallied while long term U.S. Treasury yields rose. In terms of duration positioning, the Fund consistently maintained a shorter duration position than the benchmark, which bolstered relative performance as the U.S. Treasury curve steepened.
High yield corporate credit was the best performing sector within the Fund as the fundamental view on credit risk improved, leading to tighter credit spreads. Emerging market debt enjoyed positive returns as commodities rallied while countries loosened restrictions and supply shortages began to form. Commercial MBS experienced strong returns as industries acutely impacted by COVID-19 restrictions, such as retail and hospitality, began to return to a more normalized rate of demand. Asset backed securities benefitted from returning demand in air travel, transportation networks, and households prioritizing debt repayments. Non-Agency RMBS also generated strong returns as both delinquency and forbearance rates improved, driven by a robust housing market and positive investor sentiment. Additionally, collateralized loan obligations delivered positive returns as the outlook for credit improved and investors piled into floating rate assets during the first quarter of 2021. The two sectors that detracted from the overall performance of the Fund were Agency MBS and U.S. Treasuries as rates sold-off. The sectors’ longer duration profiles, coupled with extension concerns on mortgages, negatively impacted performance.
The Fund did not invest in derivates during the Reporting Period.
On a sector level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were high yield corporate credit, Emerging Market debt, and Commercial MBS. The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Agency RMBS and U.S. Treasuries. The sector that contributed least to positive performance were collateralized loan obligations.
The views expressed above reflect those of the Fund’s portfolio manager only through the Reporting Period, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Adviser as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2021
1. Organization
SSGA Active Trust (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 June 30, 2021, the Trust consists of eleven (11) series, 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 no par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following series (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”):
SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF |
SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF |
SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF |
Each Fund is classified as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act, with the exception of SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF, 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.
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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 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.
• Government and municipal fixed income securities are generally valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers. Certain government inflation-indexed securities may require a calculated fair valuation as the cumulative inflation is contained within the price provided by the pricing service or broker. For these securities, the inflation component of the price is “cleaned” from the pricing service or broker price utilizing the published inflation factors in order to ensure proper accrual of income.
• Debt obligations (including short-term investments) are valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers or are generally valued at the last reported evaluated prices.
• Senior loans or other loans are valued at evaluated bid prices supplied by an
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
independent pricing service, if available. Senior loans and other loans for which the Committee determines that there are no reliable valuations available from pricing services or brokers will be initially valued at cost and adjusted for amortization of principal until remeasurement is warranted due to a credit or economic event or other factors affecting the loan.
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.
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund's NAV and the prices used by the Funds' underlying benchmarks. 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.
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
The value of each Fund’s investments, according to the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2021, 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. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.
Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income.
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.
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.
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
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 June 30, 2021, if any, are disclosed in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Equalization
The Funds follow the accounting practice known as “Equalization” by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring Fund shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of distributable net investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or reacquisition of Fund shares. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF |
SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF |
SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF |
Distributions
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The amount and character of income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with applicable tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.

3. Securities and Other Investments
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities
During the period, certain Funds transacted in securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The Funds may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Funds identify securities as segregated in their records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic or other factors.
Loan Agreements
The SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF invests in Senior Loans. Senior Loans consist generally of obligations of companies and other entities (collectively, “borrowers”) incurred for the purpose of reorganizing the assets and liabilities of a borrower; acquiring another company; taking over control of a company (leveraged buyout); temporary refinancing; or financing internal growth or other general business purposes. Senior Loans are often obligations of borrowers who have incurred a significant percentage of debt compared to their total assets and thus are highly leveraged. The Funds do not treat the banks originating or acting as agents for the lenders, or granting or acting as intermediary in participation interests, in loans held by the Funds as the issuers of such loans.
4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory Fee
The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSGA FM. As compensation for services rendered, facilities furnished, and expenses borne by the Adviser, each Fund pays the Adviser a fee (“Management/Advisory fee”) accrued daily and paid monthly, based on a

These waivers and/or reimbursements did not provide for the recoupment by the Adviser of any amounts waived or reimbursed. The total amount of fees waived for each Fund for the year ended June 30, 2021 has been disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
From time to time, the Adviser may waive all or a portion of its management fee. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses in an amount equal to any acquired fund fees and expenses (excluding holdings in acquired funds for cash management purposes, if any) for each Fund until October 31, 2021. This waiver and/or reimbursement does not provide for the recoupment by the Adviser of any amounts waived or reimbursed. This waiver and/or reimbursement may not be terminated prior to October 31, 2021 except with the approval of the Board.
The Adviser pays all expenses of each Fund other than the management fee, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including any Trustee’s counsel fees), litigation expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses and other extraordinary expenses.
DoubleLine Capital LP receives fees for its services as the sub-adviser to the Funds from the Adviser.

7. Shareholder Transactions
Each Fund issues and redeems its shares, at NAV, by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund may consist of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash . Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to the Trust and/or custodian, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Other Capital” on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
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. 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.
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
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 each 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.
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, differing treatment for paydown gains and losses, defaulted bonds and amortization and accretion of premium and discount for financial statement purposes. Certain Funds claimed a portion of the payments made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended June 30, 2021, was as follows:

9. Line of Credit
The Funds and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) have access to $200 million of 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 2021 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 paid by the Adviser. A Participant incurs and pays the interest expense related to its borrowing. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1.25% plus the New York Fed Bank Rate. Prior to October 8, 2020, interest was 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 June 30, 2021.
10. Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Funds' ability to invest a large percentage of their assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Funds' investments more than if the Funds were more broadly diversified.
Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk
Investing in foreign markets involves risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of government regulation, economic, political and social instability in the countries in which the Funds invest. Foreign markets may be less liquid than investments in the U.S. and may be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations. To the extent that the Funds invest in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be even more pronounced.
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
Credit Risk
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 a Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Market Risk
Each Fund's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, 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. Each 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 or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets experienced and may continue to experience extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments was and may continue to be disrupted as a result. Liquidity for many instruments was and may continue to be greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to a Fund by its service providers.
11. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators have
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The relief provided is temporary and generally cannot be applied to contract modifications that occur after December 31, 2022, or hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after that date. However, the FASB has indicated that it will revisit the sunset date in Topic 848 after the LIBOR administrator makes a final decision on a phaseout date. On November 30, 2020, the LIBOR administrator proposed extending the publication of the overnight and the one-, three-, six- and 12-month USD LIBOR settings through June 30, 2023, when many existing contracts that reference LIBOR will have expired. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance.
12. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds 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.

ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF, SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF and SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF and the Board of Trustees of SSGA Active Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Schedule of Investments in Securities
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF, SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF and SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) (three of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”)), including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2021, 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 (three of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust) at June 30, 2021, 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
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
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 June 30, 2021, 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 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 other Fund expenses. This 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. It is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021.
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 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (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.

Approval of Advisory Agreement
At meetings held prior to June 30, 2021, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) evaluated proposals to continue the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust and SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) with respect to the SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF, SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF, and SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF, each a series of SSGA Active Trust (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), also met separately to consider the Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the Agreement, the Board requested, and SSGA FM, the Trust’s investment adviser and administrator, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s sub-administrator, transfer agent and custodian (“State Street”) provided, such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary. In deciding whether to approve the Agreement, the Board considered various factors, including the (i) nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Funds under the Agreement, (ii) investment performance of the Funds, (iii) profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Trust, (iv) fees charged to comparable funds, (v) other benefits to the Adviser, and (vi) extent to which economies of scale would be shared as the Funds grow.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser. In doing so, the Trustees relied on their prior experience in overseeing the management of the Trust and the materials provided prior to and at the meetings. The Board reviewed the Agreement and the Adviser’s responsibilities for managing investment operations of each of the Funds in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Board appreciated the nature of the Funds as exchange-traded funds and the experience and expertise of the Adviser in managing exchange-traded funds. The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management, oversight of sub-advisers and regulatory compliance of the Funds. The Board also considered the portfolio management resources, structures and practices of the Adviser, including those associated with monitoring and ensuring each Fund’s compliance with its investment
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
objectives and policies, and applicable laws and regulations. The Board further considered information about the Adviser’s best execution procedures and overall investment management business, noting that the Adviser serves a wide range of clients across a broad spectrum of asset classes. The Board looked at the Adviser’s general knowledge of the investment management business and that of its affiliates which make up State Street Global Advisors, through which the Adviser shares all of its senior personnel. The Board considered that the Adviser and its affiliates constitute one of the world’s largest investment management enterprises for exchange-traded funds. The Board specifically considered the Adviser’s experience in managing actively-managed exchange-traded funds and overseeing third party sub-advisers.
Investment Performance
The Board then reviewed each Fund’s performance. The Board compared each Fund’s investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark (gross of expenses) and a group of comparable funds (net of expenses). Among other information, the Board considered the following performance information over various periods ended December 31, 2020 in its evaluation of each Fund:
SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1- and 3-year, and since inception periods.
SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3- and 5-year, and since inception periods.
SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the 1- and 3-year, and since inception periods.
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
In those instances where the Board observed underperformance for an extended period of time, the Trustees discussed with management those factors that contributed to such underperformance and steps being taken in response to such factors, where appropriate.
Profits Realized by Adviser
The Board considered the profitability of the advisory arrangement with the Funds to the Adviser and its affiliates, including data on the Funds’ historical profitability to these entities. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, with their independent legal counsel, had the opportunity to discuss, with representatives of the Adviser and State Street, methodologies used in computing costs that formed the bases of profitability calculations.
Fees Charged to Comparable Funds
The Board evaluated each Fund’s unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar funds – i.e., exchange-traded funds that are actively managed. The Board reviewed the universe of similar exchange-traded funds for each Fund based upon data independently obtained from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. and related comparative information for similar exchange-traded funds. In doing so, the Board used a fund by fund analysis of the data. In certain instances as considered appropriate by the Board, the Board explored with management the reasons for the differences between a Fund’s fee and fees paid by similar funds.
Other Benefits
The Board also considered whether the Adviser or its affiliates benefited in other ways from its relationship with the Trust, noting that the Adviser does not maintain soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Trust’s brokerage transactions.
Economies of Scale
The Board reviewed information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result as each Fund’s assets grow in size. The Board noted that the advisory fee rate for each Fund does not provide for breakpoints as assets of a Fund increase. However, the Board further noted the Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration for each Fund by fixing relatively low advisory fees, effectively sharing the benefits of lower fees with each Fund from inception. The Adviser also asserted that one of the benefits of the unitary fee was to provide
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
an unvarying expense structure, which could be lost or diluted with the addition of breakpoints. The Board noted that it intends to continue to monitor fees as each Fund grows in size and assess whether fee breakpoints may be warranted.
Conclusion
After weighing the foregoing factors, none of which was dispositive in itself and may have been weighed differently by each Trustee, the Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the continuation of the Agreement for each Fund. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Funds were appropriate; (b) the performance of the Funds had been satisfactory or the Advisor had demonstrated due attention to the remediation of underperformance, where appropriate; (c) the Adviser’s unitary fee for each Fund considered in relation to the services provided, and in relation to the fees charged to comparable funds, was reasonable; (d) the profitability of the Trust’s relationships with the Adviser and its affiliates was not excessive in view of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided; (e) any additional potential benefits to the Adviser or its affiliates were not of a magnitude to materially affect the Board’s conclusions; and (f) the fees paid to the Adviser adequately shared the economies of scale with respect to the Funds by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trust.

Approval of DoubleLine Capital LP Sub-Advisory Agreement
At meetings held prior to June 30, 2021, the Board also considered a proposal to continue the Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and DoubleLine Capital LP (“DoubleLine”) with respect to each Fund. The Independent Trustees also met separately to consider the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board requested, and DoubleLine and the Adviser provided, such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary. In deciding whether to approve the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, including the (i) nature, extent and quality of services provided by DoubleLine with respect to each Fund under the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement; and (ii) investment performance of each Fund. The Board was informed of the portion of the advisory fee that the Adviser would pay to DoubleLine under the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement and also considered that such fees would be paid directly by the Adviser and would not result in increased fees payable by the Funds.
The Board considered the background and experience of senior management at DoubleLine and, in particular, DoubleLine’s experience in investing in fixed income securities. The Board reviewed each Fund’s performance, noting that the DoubleLine ETFs had underperformed, but considered management’s explanation of those factors that contributed to such underperformance and steps being taken in response to such factors. The Board also considered the unitary fee paid to the Adviser by each Fund and DoubleLine’s fees paid by the Adviser. The Board also considered whether DoubleLine benefited in other ways from its relationship with the Trust.
After weighing the foregoing factors, as well as the relevant factors discussed in relation to the Double-Line Sub-Advisory Agreement between DoubleLine and the Adviser, none of which was dispositive in itself and may have been weighed differently by each Trustee, the Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the continuation of the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by DoubleLine with respect to each Fund were adequate and appropriate; (b) the performance of the Funds had been satisfactory or the Advisor had demonstrated due attention to the remediation of underperformance, where appropriate; (c) DoubleLine’s fees for each Fund and the unitary fee,

considered in relation to the services provided, were reasonable; (d) any additional potential benefits to DoubleLine were not of a magnitude to materially affect the Board’s conclusions; and (e) the fees paid to DoubleLine adequately shared the economies of scale with each Fund by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trust.

ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETF's net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.
Foreign investments involve greater risks than U.S. investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations, all of which may be magnified in emerging markets.
Bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, but contain interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall); issuer default risk; issuer credit risk; liquidity risk; and inflation risk. These effects are usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.
Investing in commodities entail significant risk and is not appropriate for all investors. Commodities investing entail significant risk as commodity prices can be extremely volatile due to wide range of factors. A few such factors include overall market movements, real or perceived inflationary trends, commodity index volatility, international, economic and political changes, change in interest and currency exchange rates.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index performance does not reflect charges and expenses associated with the fund or brokerage commissions associated with buying and selling a fund. Index
performance is not meant to represent that of any particular fund.

Notes to Performance Summary (Unaudited)
The performance chart of a Fund’s total return at net asset value (“NAV”), the total return based on market price and its benchmark index is provided for comparative purposes only and represents the periods noted. A Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of a Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of a Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of a Fund. The market price used to calculate the market return is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the exchange on which the shares of a Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that a Fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in a Fund at NAV. Market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included market returns would be lower.
An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not reflect deductions for fees or expenses. In comparison, a Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Index returns reflect all items of income, gain and loss and the reinvestment of dividends and other income.
The Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Leveraged Loan Index is comprised of about 100 of the most liquid, tradable leveraged loans, as identified by Markit’s Loans Liquidity service. Markit is dedicated to utilizing its unique datasets on loans to become the premier provider of independent and objective loan indices for trading, product structuring, and benchmarking.
The S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index is designed to reflect the largest facilities in the leveraged loan market. It mirrors the market-weighted performance of the largest institutional leveraged loans based upon market weightings, spreads, and interest payments. The index consists of 100 loan facilities drawn from a larger benchmark, the S&P/LSTA (Loan Syndications and Trading Association) Leveraged Loan Index (LLI).

SPDR Blackstone Senior Loan ETF
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The investment objective of the SPDR Blackstone Senior Loan ETF (the “Fund”) is to provide current income consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund’s primary benchmark is the Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Leveraged Loan Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 11.97%, and the Index was 8.85%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, 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.
Allocation to CCC-rated loans, credit selection within single B-rated loans and credit selection within the industrials and healthcare sectors were the primary positive drivers of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. Individual credit selection within CCC-rated loans and underweight allocations to Caesars Resort Collection and West Corp relative to the Index were the primary detractors from Fund performance during the period.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.
On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Travelport Finance Second Lien Term Loan, Delta Airlines SkyMiles Bond, and Carestream Health Inc Second Lien Term Loan. The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Diamond Sports Group Bond, Sinclair Broadcasting Term Loan, and Bausch Health Companies Bond.
The views expressed above reflect those of the Fund’s portfolio manager only through the Reporting Period, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Adviser as a whole. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and the Adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any fund.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2021
1. Organization
SSGA Active Trust (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 June 30, 2021, the Trust consists of eleven (11) series, 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 with no par value. The financial statements herein relate only to the SPDR Blackstone Senior Loan ETF (the “Fund”).
The Fund is classified as a diversified investment company under 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. 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'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
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of the Fund 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 Fund. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
• 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.
• Debt obligations (including short-term investments) are valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers or are generally valued at the last reported evaluated prices.
• Senior loans or other loans are valued at evaluated bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Senior loans and other loans for which the Committee determines that there are no reliable valuations available from pricing services or brokers will be initially valued at cost and adjusted for amortization of principal until remeasurement is warranted due to a credit or economic event or other factors affecting the loan.
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.
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the Fund's NAV and the prices used by the Fund's underlying benchmark.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.
The Fund 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
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
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 Fund’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2021, is disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale and 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, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value.
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
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Fund within the Trust. Class specific expenses are borne by each class.
Equalization
The Fund follows the accounting practice known as “Equalization” by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring Fund shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of distributable net investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or reacquisition of Fund shares. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Distributions
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times to improve Index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The amount and character of income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with applicable tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.
3. Securities and Other Investments
Loan Agreements
The Fund invests in Senior Loans. Senior Loans consist generally of obligations of companies and other entities (collectively, “borrowers”) incurred for the purpose of reorganizing the assets and liabilities of a borrower; acquiring another company; taking over control of a company (leveraged buyout); temporary refinancing; or financing internal growth or other general business purposes. Senior Loans are often obligations of borrowers who have incurred a significant percentage of debt compared to their total assets and thus are highly leveraged. The Fund does not treat the banks originating or acting as agents for the lenders, or granting or acting as intermediary in participation interests, in loans held by the Fund as the issuers of such loans.
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
Commitments
The Fund entered into a separate agreement whereby the Fund may be required to provide funding to participate in a loan agreement. The amount committed, but not yet funded, for this agreement was $66 million at June 30, 2021.
4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory Fee
The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”). For its advisory services to the Fund, facilities furnished, and expenses borne by the Adviser, the Fund pays the Adviser a fee (“Management/Advisory fee”) accrued daily and paid monthly, based on a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the following table:
| Annual Rate |
SPDR Blackstone Senior Loan ETF
| 0.70% |
From time to time, the Adviser may waive all or a portion of its management fee. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses in an amount equal to any acquired fund fees and expenses (excluding holdings in acquired funds for cash management purposes, if any) for the Fund until October 31, 2021. This waiver and/or reimbursement does not provide for the recoupment by the Adviser of any amounts waived or reimbursed. This waiver and/or reimbursement may not be terminated prior to October 31, 2021 except with the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
The Adviser pays all the operating expenses of the Fund other than the management fee, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Trust’s Independent Trustees (including any Trustees’ counsel fees), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.
Blackstone Liquid Credit Strategies LLC (formerly GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC) receives fees for its services as the sub-adviser to the Fund from the Adviser.
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
Administrator, Custodian, Sub-Administrator and Transfer Agent Fees
SSGA FM serves as administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent. State Street receives fees for its services as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent from the Adviser.
Distributor
State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors, LLC (“SSGA FD” or the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the distributor of the Trust.
Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund 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 Fund owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the period ended June 30, 2021, are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, State Street made a voluntary contribution to the Fund in the amount of $79,391 related to an accounting matter.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, State Street made a voluntary contribution to the Fund in the amount of $578,465 related to an accounting 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 Fund. 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 year ended June 30, 2021, were as follows:
| Purchases | | Sales |
SPDR Blackstone Senior Loan ETF
| $9,846,058,378 | | $5,192,611,407 |
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
7. Shareholder Transactions
The Fund issues and redeems its shares, at NAV, only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of the Fund may consist of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to the Trust and/or custodian, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Other Capital” on the Statement of Changes on Net Assets.
8. 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. 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. 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.
Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net asset values or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to

9. Line of Credit
The Fund 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. The Fund has exclusive access to $300 million of the total credit facility. This agreement expires in October 2021 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. SPDR Blackstone Senior Loan ETF pays the commitment fee for its exclusive portion of the credit line. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1.25% plus the New York Fed Bank Rate. Prior to October 8, 2020, interest was 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 Fund has no outstanding loans as of June 30, 2021.
10. Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Fund's ability to invest a large percentage of it's 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 Fund’s investments more than if the Fund was more broadly diversified.
Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk
Investing in foreign markets involves risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of government regulation, economic, political and social instability in the countries in which the 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
Credit Risk
The Fund may 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.
Market Risk
The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, 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 or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets experienced and may continue to experience extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments was and may continue to be disrupted as a result. Liquidity for many instruments was and may continue to be greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to a Fund by its service providers.
11. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators have
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 30, 2021
undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The relief provided is temporary and generally cannot be applied to contract modifications that occur after December 31, 2022, or hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after that date. However, the FASB has indicated that it will revisit the sunset date in Topic 848 after the LIBOR administrator makes a final decision on a phaseout date. On November 30, 2020, the LIBOR administrator proposed extending the publication of the overnight and the one-, three-, six- and 12-month USD LIBOR settings through June 30, 2023, when many existing contracts that reference LIBOR will have expired. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance.
12. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of SPDR Blackstone Senior Loan ETF and the Board of Trustees of SSGA Active Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of SPDR Blackstone Senior Loan ETF (Formerly, SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF) (one of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”)), as of June 30, 2021, and the related statement 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 the Fund (one of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust) at June 30, 2021, 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 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.
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM (continued)
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 June 30, 2021, 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 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 other Fund expenses. This 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. It is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021.
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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (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.

Approval of Advisory Agreement
At meetings held prior to June 30, 2021, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) evaluated proposals to continue the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust and SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) with respect to the SPDR Blackstone Senior Loan ETF, a series of SSGA Active Trust (the “Fund”). The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), also met separately to consider the Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the Agreement, the Board requested, and SSGA FM, the Trust’s investment adviser and administrator, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s sub-administrator, transfer agent and custodian (“State Street”) provided, such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary. In deciding whether to approve the Agreement, the Board considered various factors, including the (i) nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Fund under the Agreement, (ii) investment performance of the Fund, (iii) profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Trust, (iv) fees charged to comparable funds, (v) other benefits to the Adviser, and (vi) extent to which economies of scale would be shared as the Fund grows.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser. In doing so, the Trustees relied on their prior experience in overseeing the management of the Trust and the materials provided prior to and at the meetings. The Board reviewed the Agreement and the Adviser’s responsibilities for managing investment operations of the Fund in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Board appreciated the nature of the Fund as exchange-traded fund and the experience and expertise of the Adviser in managing exchange-traded funds. The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management, oversight of sub-advisers and regulatory compliance of the Fund. The Board also considered the portfolio management resources, structures and practices of the Adviser, including those associated with monitoring and ensuring the Fund’s compliance with its investment objectives and policies, and applicable laws and regulations. The Board further considered information about the Adviser’s best execution procedures and
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
overall investment management business, noting that the Adviser serves a wide range of clients across a broad spectrum of asset classes. The Board looked at the Adviser’s general knowledge of the investment management business and that of its affiliates which make up State Street Global Advisors, through which the Adviser shares all of its senior personnel. The Board considered that the Adviser and its affiliates constitute one of the world’s largest investment management enterprises for exchange-traded funds. The Board specifically considered the Adviser’s experience in managing actively-managed exchange-traded funds and overseeing third party sub-advisers.
Investment Performance
The Board then reviewed the Fund’s performance. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark (gross of expenses) and a group of comparable funds (net of expenses). The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3- and 5-year, and since inception periods.
Profits Realized by Adviser
The Board considered the profitability of the advisory arrangement with the Fund to the Adviser, including data on the Fund’s historical profitability to the Adviser. The Board, including the Independent Trustees with their independent legal counsel, had the opportunity to discuss, with representatives of the Adviser and State Street, methodologies used in computing costs that formed the bases of profitability calculations.
Fees Charged to Comparable Funds
The Board evaluated the Fund’s unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar funds – i.e., exchange-traded funds that are actively managed. The Board reviewed the universe of similar exchange-traded funds based upon data independently obtained from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. and related comparative information for similar exchange-traded funds. In doing so, the Board used a fund by fund analysis of the data.
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST

June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
Other Benefits
The Board also considered whether the Adviser or its affiliates benefited in other ways from its relationship with the Trust, noting that the Adviser does not maintain soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Trust’s brokerage transactions.
Economies of Scale
The Board reviewed information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result as the Fund’s assets grow in size. The Board noted that the advisory fee rate for the Fund does not provide for breakpoints as assets of the Fund increase. However, the Board further noted the Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration for the Fund by fixing relatively low advisory fees, effectively sharing the benefits of lower fees with the Fund from inception. The Adviser also asserted that one of the benefits of the unitary fee was to provide an unvarying expense structure, which could be lost or diluted with the addition of breakpoints. The Board noted that it intends to continue to monitor fees as the Fund grows in size and assess whether fee breakpoints may be warranted.
Conclusion
After weighing the foregoing factors, none of which was dispositive in itself and may have been weighed differently by each Trustee, the Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the continuation of the Agreement for the Fund. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Fund were appropriate; (b) the performance of the Fund had been satisfactory; (c) the Adviser’s unitary fee for the Fund considered in relation to the services provided, and in relation to the fees charged to comparable funds, was reasonable; (d) the profitability of the Trust’s relationships with the Adviser and its affiliates was not excessive in view of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided; (e) any additional potential benefits to the Adviser or its affiliates were not of a magnitude to materially affect the Board’s conclusions; and (f) the fees paid to the Adviser adequately shared the economies of scale with respect to the Fund by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trust.

Approval of Blackstone Liquid Credit Strategies LLC (“Blackstone Credit”) Sub-Advisory Agreement
At meetings held prior to June 30, 2021, the Board also evaluated proposals to continue the Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Blackstone Credit Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and Blackstone Liquid Credit Strategies LLC (“Blackstone Credit”) with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also met separately to consider the Blackstone Credit Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the Blackstone Credit Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board requested, and Blackstone Credit and the Adviser provided, such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary. In deciding whether to approve the Blackstone Credit Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, including the (i) nature, extent and quality of services provided by Blackstone Credit with respect to the Fund under the Blackstone Credit Sub-Advisory Agreement and (ii) investment performance of the Fund. The Board was informed of the portion of the current advisory fee that the Adviser would pay to Blackstone Credit under the Blackstone Credit Sub-Advisory Agreement and also considered that such fees would be paid directly by the Adviser and would not result in increased fees payable by the Fund.
The Board considered the background and experience of Blackstone Credit’s senior management and, in particular, Blackstone Credit’s experience in investing in senior loan securities. The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance, noting that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory. The Board also considered the unitary fee paid to the Adviser by the Fund and Blackstone Credit’s fees paid by the Adviser. The Board also considered whether Blackstone Credit benefited in other ways from its relationship with the Trust.
After weighing the foregoing factors, as well as the relevant factors discussed in relation to the Blackstone Credit Sub-Advisory Agreement between Blackstone Credit and the Adviser, none of which was dispositive in itself and may have been weighed differently by each Trustee, the Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the continuation of the Blackstone Credit Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Blackstone Credit with respect to the Blackstone Senior Loan ETF were appropriate; (b) the performance of the Blackstone Senior Loan ETF had been satisfactory; (c) Blackstone Credit’s fees for the Blackstone Senior

ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETF's net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.
Foreign investments involve greater risks than U.S. investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations, all of which may be magnified in emerging markets.
Bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, but contain interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall); issuer default risk; issuer credit risk; liquidity risk; and inflation risk. These effects are usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.
Investing in commodities entail significant risk and is not appropriate for all investors. Commodities investing entail significant risk as commodity prices can be extremely volatile due to wide range of factors. A few such factors include overall market movements, real or perceived inflationary trends, commodity index volatility, international, economic and political changes, change in interest and currency exchange rates.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index performance does not reflect charges and expenses associated with the fund or brokerage commissions associated with buying and selling a fund. Index

The registrant’s Audit Committee Charter states the following with respect to pre-approval procedures:
Before the independent auditors are engaged by the Trust to render audit, audit-related or permissible non-audit services, either:
| (a) | The Audit Committee shall pre-approve all audit, audit-related and permissible non-audit services provided to the Trust. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to grant pre-approvals. Any decision of any member to whom authority is delegated under this section shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting; |
| (b) | The engagement to render the audit, audit-related or permissible non-audit service is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee. Any such policies and procedures must (1) be detailed as to the particular service and (2) not involve any delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to the investment adviser. The Audit Committee must be informed of each service entered into pursuant to the policies and procedures. A copy of any such policies and procedures shall be attached as an exhibit to the Audit Committee Charter. |
| (c) | Pre-Approval for a service provided to the Trust other than audit or audit-related services is not required if: (1) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Trust constitutes not more than five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid by the Trust to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by the Trust at the time of the engagement to be permissible non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and are approved by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. |
| (d) | The Audit Committee shall pre-approve any permissible non-audit services proposed to be provided by the independent auditors to (a) the investment adviser and (b) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Trust, if the independent auditors’ engagement with the investment adviser or any such control persons relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust. It shall be the responsibility of the independent auditors to notify the Audit Committee of any permissible non-audit services that need to be pre-approved. |
Notwithstanding the above, Pre-Approval for any permissible non-audit services under this Sub-section is not required if: (1) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services constitutes not more than five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors by the Trust and any other entity that has its services approved under this Section (i.e., the investment adviser or any control person) during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by the Trust at the time of the engagement to be permissible non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly
brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and are approved by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit.
(e)(2) Percentage of Services.
One hundred percent of the services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item were approved by the registrant’s Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
