Elfun International Equity Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance — December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The State Street International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term growth of capital and future income by investing principally in foreign securities consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The Fund’s benchmark is the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was -16.11%, and the return for the Index was -14.45%. 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.
Primary drivers of the Fund's performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index included the negative impact of sector positioning, underperformance in the industrials sector, and outperformance in the financials sector.
For the Reporting Period, the Fund’s sector positioning hurt relative returns. The Fund’s biggest overweight was in technology, the weakest performing sector in the Index, while energy, the Index’s strongest sector, was underweight. Almost every segment of technology was weak during the value-oriented market of the Reporting Period, but semiconductors companies were particularly impactful. Semiconductor and related equipment manufacturers were hit by fears of overproduction amid a cyclical slowdown. Our view is that this was an area that retains some cyclical characteristics but is in the midst of an underappreciated multi-year secular growth period driven by the proliferation of chip technology throughout the data economy. Conversely, oil & gas companies enjoyed a strong year driven by macro and geopolitical factors but is not an area that we find as many compelling opportunities for the long run.
In industrials, the Fund was not only hurt by an overweight to an underperforming sector, but also by underperformance within the sector. Within industrials, the Fund’s holdings, many of which are oriented toward infrastructure spending, underperformed relative to defense companies which surged in the wake of the Ukraine conflict. Another underperforming holding in the sector was Japanese professional services company Recruit, a human resources technology provider, which weakened amid fears of a hiring slowdown.
In financials, the Fund had diversified outperformance across insurance and banking in both Asia and Europe, as well as in capital markets with London Stock Exchange. In addition, the Fund benefitted from an overweight to the sector, which outperformed on rising interest rates.
The Fund used futures in order to efficiently manage cash flows during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s use of futures slightly detracted from Fund performance relative to the Index.
On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Equinor ASA, AstraZeneca, and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Koninklijke DSM N.V, ASML Holding N.V, and Recruit Holding Company Ltd.
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.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2022.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| Actual Fund Return | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) |
Beginning Account Value July 1, 2022 | $1,000.00 | | $1,000.00 |
Ending Account value December 31, 2022 | $1,065.30 | | $1,022.70 |
Expenses Paid During Period* | $ 2.60 | | $ 2.55 |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.50%** (for the period July 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
** | May differ from expense ratio disclosed in the financial highlights, which is calculated based on the entire fiscal year's data. |

Elfun Trusts
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance — December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Elfun Trusts (the "Fund) seeks to provide long-term growth of capital and future income rather than current income. The Fund’s benchmark is the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was -19.87%, and the return for the Index was -18.11%. 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.
Primary drivers of the Fund's performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index included the negative impact of sector positioning, underperformance in the communication services sector, and outperformance in the healthcare sector. In a volatile value-oriented market, the Fund outperformed in most sectors, but was negatively impacted by its sector positioning.
For the Reporting Period, the Fund’s sector positioning hurt relative returns. The Fund was overweight in communication services, the weakest performing sector in the index, and underweight defensive sectors like consumer staples and utilities, which outperformed. The Fund was also underweight in energy, the top returning sector for the Reporting Period, which was helped by elevated oil prices driven by the economic reopening as well as Ukraine invasion. The negative impact of the energy underweight, however, was mostly offset by stock selection as the Fund’s only holding in the sector outperformed. Overall, the team’s approach focused on quality, sustainable growth, and reasonable valuation tends to find fewer compelling opportunities in the sectors that led during this Reporting Period.
In communication services, the Fund was not only hurt by the overweight mentioned above, but also by underperformance within the sector. Internet platform company holdings such as Alphabet and Meta underperformed relative to more defensive telecommunications companies within the sector, which were not held. The Fund’s higher growth holdings were hurt by a combination of macro factors, for example rising interest rates, which disproportionally impact growth names; cyclical factors such as slowing advertising spend; and company specific issues, such as controversy around Meta’s large spending on its metaverse initiatives. Our view was companies like Alphabet and Meta would remain dominant players in their core industries with strong free cash flow and, after the market sell-off, compelling valuations.
The Fund saw strength in healthcare. While we are underweight defensive sectors generally due to high valuations, we do gain defensive exposure in healthcare, where we find more compelling quality along with reasonable valuation relative to growth prospects. In the Reporting Period, the Fund benefitted from positions in biotech companies like Vertex Pharmaceuticals, which has had strong results in its cystic fibrosis drug and leading pharmaceutical company Merck. Outside of pharma, the Fund also outperformed in healthcare services, for example with UnitedHealth Group, whose strong market position in managed care has led to resilient results.
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 ConocoPhillips, Merck & Company Inc, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Amazon.com Inc, Meta Platforms Inc, and Microsoft Corp.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2022.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| Actual Fund Return | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) |
Beginning Account Value July 1, 2022 | $1,000.00 | | $1,000.00 |
Ending Account value December 31, 2022 | $1,014.20 | | $1,024.30 |
Expenses Paid During Period* | $ 0.91 | | $ 0.92 |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.18%** (for the period July 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
** | May differ from expense ratio disclosed in the financial highlights, which is calculated based on the entire fiscal year's data. |

Elfun Diversified Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance — December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Elfun Diversified Fund (the “Fund”) seeks the highest total return consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital (total return includes both income and capital appreciation). The Fund’s benchmarks are the S&P 500 Index, MSCI ACWI ex USA Investable Market Index and the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Indices”).
For the 12-month period ended Dec 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was -15.31%, and the return for the S&P 500 Index, Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and MSCI ACWI ex USA Investable Market Index was -18.11%, -13.01% and -16.58%, respectively. The Fund and Indices’ 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 Indices are unmanaged, and their returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.
The biggest drivers of the Fund’s performance were its positions in the S&P 500 Index, the MSCI® All Country World ex-USA Investable Market Index, and the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. All of which posted negative returns for the year.
The fund began the year with an overweight position to cash offset with an underweight to fixed income while neutral to the benchmark within equities. As equity market volatility picked up in January the portfolio implemented a more defensive positioning, moving underweight U.S. equity while adding to the cash overweight. The defensive positioning was held in the portfolio until late February when elevated implied volatility across equities and currency coupled with widening risky debt spreads indicated investors had become overly pessimistic and created a more supportive environment for tactically adding exposure to risk assets. In order to take advantage of the excessive fear in the market, the portfolio took a slight overweight in U.S. equity funded from fixed income. However, the macro-economic outlook would continue to deteriorate with headline inflation hitting 40-year highs, global central banks signaling tighter monetary policy ahead, and Russia invading Ukraine. As a result, both the equity and fixed income exposures in the portfolio sold off in tandem. In the second quarter amidst this uncertain environment the portfolio kept an overweight to cash as a cushion against elevated volatility while also implementing a relative value trade within equity reducing our non-U.S.exposure to add to U.S. equities. Price momentum along with sentiment and macro factors underpinned the constructive outlook for U.S. equities relative to non-U.S. equities. In June our market views changed as the outlook for bonds greatly improved with models forecasting lower rates and a flatter yield curve. Within equities we now favored developed non-U.S. equities over U.S. equity. Hence, the portfolio brought the non-U.S.equity exposure and the fixed income exposure to neutral while opening up an underweight to U.S. equity and remaining overweight cash. The portfolio would remain underweight U.S.equity for the entire third quarter as risk aversion intensified in the latter stages of summer with mounting fears of an energy crisis and more hawkish central banks threatening global growth. In September, in anticipation of higher rates on the horizon the allocation to fixed income was reduced and the overweight to cash was increased as cash offered a healthy yield and provided downside protection in a volatile environment. The portfolio would remain overweight cash and underweight fixed income and equity through October. In the final two months of the year the outlook for bonds became more constructive. In November, half of the cash overweight was drawn down to fund a buy of fixed income bringing the fixed income allocation in the portfolio neutral to the benchmark. As we approached the end of the year the momentum in interest rates and weaker manufacturing activity signaled a further decline in interest rates were ahead. As the backdrop increasingly became more supportive for fixed income, the portfolio further reduced the cash position, removing the cash overweight, in order to increase duration in the portfolio and create a modest overweight in fixed income.
Global equity markets received one of the more inhospitable welcomes to a new year in recent memory to begin 2022. After enjoying a relatively calm market in 2021 a mixture of global geopolitical uncertainty, accelerating inflation and hawkish central bank policies awaited. Russia invaded Ukraine midway through the first quarter causing a spike in energy prices and exacerbating inflation fears that were already present in the minds of consumers. In the U.S. the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) would hit 8.5% year over year by the end of the first quarter, and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") announced its first rate hike since 2018 in March, raising the target rate by 0.25% and clarified that further increases would be appropriate. The hostile macro environment would prove too much to bear for equity markets as the S&P 500 Index declined by 4.60% during the quarter. The weakness was broad based as Energy and Utilities were the only positively performing sectors, with Energy the standout posting an astounding 39% return for the

quarter. In Europe, the Russia-Ukraine war dominated headlines as concerns over disruptions in energy supplies threatened the region. Economic data within the region proved resilient as the March flash PMI came in at 54.5. The European Central Bank (ECB) left interest rates unchanged but indicated that the first-rate hike could be executed later in the year. The MSCI Europe index fell by 7.23% during the quarter. The MSCI Pacific index outperformed its developed market peers but still posted a negative return for the quarter of 3%. The region benefitted from minimal exposure to Russia, but the dramatic weakening of the Japanese Yen which reached a 6 year low against the U.S. Dollar in March, dragged down Japan equities, the largest weight in the Pacific index. Emerging markets underperformed developed markets in large part due to weakness from China as daily new cases of Covid-19 spiked due to the Omicron variant and the country locked down some of its largest cities including Shanghai. The MSCI Emerging Markets index declined by 6.92% for the quarter and the MSCI ACWI ex USA Investable Market Index declined by 5.49% for the first quarter.
There would be no rebound for equity markets in the Spring as things went from bad to worse. U.S. CPI surprised notably to the upside in April at 8.3% year over year and the Fed responded by delivering a 50 basis point hike in May followed by a 75 basis point hike in June, the largest interest rate hike since 1994. The tightening monetary policy and increased inflation expectations sent the S&P 500 Index into a downward spiral reaching a peak to trough drawdown in mid-June of -23%, meeting the technical definition for a bear market. By the end of June, the S&P 500 Index had declined by 16.1% for the second quarter, the worst quarterly decline since Q1 2020. Outside of the U.S., stocks performed marginally better with the MSCI Emerging Markets index falling 11.34% for the quarter as the Chinese economy continued to decelerate and the MSCI ACWI ex USA Investable Market Index falling 14.10% for the quarter.
The second half of the year would get off to a better start as the S&P 500 Index posted a 9% gain for the month of July with growth stocks leading the way after taking the brunt of the pain through the first six months of the year. The market rally was fueled by hope of a policy pivot from the Fed, a narrative which had taken hold after consecutive 75 basis point hikes in June and July. The pivot narrative and the equity market rally quickly faded following hawkish comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole Symposium in August and as both inflation and employment data continued to surprise to the upside. The S&P 500 Index ultimately declined 4.88% over the quarter with nine of eleven sectors finishing lower. Equities outside the U.S. lagged with the MSCI ACWI ex USA Investable Market Index down 9.58%. In Europe, the Eurozone Manufacturing PMI entered contractionary territory and the European Central Bank joined the hawkish chorus of central banks and started to raise rates. Global risk aversion and the strong U.S. dollar continued to weigh on emerging markets with the MSCI Emerging Markets index down 11.42% for the quarter.
The S&P 500 Index surged in early November on the back of a downward surprise in the inflation data. Although the December seasonal tailwind for equities did not emerge the fourth quarter was a spot of sunshine in an otherwise dreary year for equities. Ultimately, the S&P 500 Index gained 7.56% for the fourth quarter but declined 18.11% for the Reporting period. Equity markets outside of the U.S. staged a particularly strong rally in the fourth quarter helped by weakness in the US Dollar. Developed International Markets outperformed Emerging Markets with both regions outperforming the U.S. equity market. In addition to weakness from the U.S. dollar, international markets benefitted from sector weight differentials compared to the U.S. stock market, with larger exposures to resource related sectors such as energy and materials and less exposure to Technology and Communication Services. The MSCI Emerging Market Index gained 9.6% for the quarter but ended lower by 19.9% for the Reporting period. The MSCI ACWI ex USA Investable Market Index posted a 14.23% gain for the fourth quarter but still declined 16.58% for the Reporting period.
The U.S. fixed income market began the year with an historically poor first quarter. U.S. Treasury yields increased significantly across the curve due to higher expectations of Fed tightening and inflation. The headline U.S. CPI would hit 8.5% year over year by the end of the first quarter and the Fed raised interest rates by 25 basis points in March, the first increase since 2018. The increase in Treasury yields was more dramatic at the shorter end of the curve as expectations for higher policy yields pushed the U.S. 2-year Treasury yield up by 160 basis points, while the increase in inflation expectations induced a rise of 83 basis points in the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield. The result was a flattening of the curve with the U.S. 2 year and the U.S. 10-year Treasury yields finishing the quarter at almost identical yields of 2.33% and 2.34%, respectively. The credit market was not spared as U.S. Investment grade credit spreads widened by 24 basis points during the quarter. Overall, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond index finished the quarter down 5.9%, the worst quarterly performance since 1980.
Elfun Diversified Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance, continued — December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Interest rates continued to climb in the second quarter as the Fed hiked interest rates 50 bps in May followed by a 75 basis point increase in June. Interest rate volatility reached a fresh peak in June after CPI inflation data exceeded expectations, with headline inflation reaching its highest level in 40 years. The U.S. 2-year Treasury yield increased by 62 basis points to 2.95% and the 10-Year Treasury yield would hit its highest level since 2011 when it reached 3.47% on June 14th before reversing in the final two weeks of the quarter to settle at 3.01%. Recession fears and equity market volatility contributed to U.S. Investment Grade Credit spreads widening by 39 basis points for the quarter. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond index, decreased by -4.7% in the second quarter, bringing the year-to-date decline through the first six months to -10.4%.
The second half of the year began with more of the same from the Fed as they increased interest rates in July by 75 basis points for the second consecutive month. However, at the July Federal Open Market Committe meeting the market interpreted Chairman Powell’s comments as dovish and a narrative began to form around the Fed pivoting from its tightening policy, which allowed bonds to rally into August. However, in August at the Fed’s Jackson Hole Symposium, Chairman Powell set the record straight and explicitly informed investors that a Fed pivot is not imminent but rather additional hikes and economic pain are on the horizon. The message needed little interpretation from the market and corporate bonds and Treasuries sold off into the end of the quarter. The yield curve, measured by the U.S. 2-year Treasury yield and the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield, would end the quarter inverted by 40 basis points. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond index decreased by 4.8% in the quarter, bringing the year-to-date decline to -14.6%.
Fixed income markets would end a turbulent year on a positive note with bonds across the yield curve and risk spectrum posting positive returns in the fourth quarter. Longer duration bonds outperformed shorter term bonds as yields on the long end of the curve declined in the fourth quarter. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond index posted a gain of 1.6% in the fourth quarter which couldn’t prevent the index from achieving unwanted notoriety for 2022. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond index declined 13.01% for the Reporting period, the worst year since index inception, while also posting a negative return in consecutive years for the first time in the history of the index.
The Fund used equity and treasury futures in order to actively manage equity exposure and duration during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s use of these derivatives contributed to Fund liquidity and exposure management versus utilizing cash instruments only.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2022.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| Actual Fund Return | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) |
Beginning Account Value July 1, 2022 | $1,000.00 | | $1,000.00 |
Ending Account value December 31, 2022 | $1,007.20 | | $1,023.40 |
Expenses Paid During Period* | $ 1.77 | | $ 1.79 |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio of 0.35%** (for the period July 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
** | May differ from expense ratio disclosed in the financial highlights, which is calculated based on the entire fiscal year's data. |

Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance — December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide as high a level of current interest income exempt from federal income taxation as is available from a concentration of investments in municipal bonds consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The Fund’s benchmark is the Bloomberg U.S. Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was -8.44% and the return for the Index was -8.53%. 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 un-managed; therefore, Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.
It’s not an understatement to say that 2022 will be recorded in the record books for all the wrong reasons for bondholders, as we experienced a decline in new issuance, a rise in geopolitics, concerns about inflation, tight labor markets, and the U.S. dollar’s surge. These factors led the Federal Reserve Board to adopt a much more hawkish stance as it embarked on an aggressive tightening cycle. The tax-exempt market experienced both liquidity pressures (which has persisted throughout the year) and uncommon market volatility creating a need to remain nimble in managing the fund. The tax-exempt market started the year very rich to treasuries but as we moved into the spring, tax-exempt municipals cheapened to historical levels driven by liquidity and market volatility pressure. As we closed out the year the tax-exempt market yields have returned to being rich compared to Treasuries.
During the past year, performance of the Fund was influenced by its defensive credit profile as well as curve positioning. We have shortened the overall portfolio duration in response to the Federal Reserve’s continued path toward higher rates. We have positioned the Fund for a narrowing between short and long-term yields using a barbell approach. An overweight in the front-end of the yield curve helps to minimize negative impact of rising rates. An overweight in long-end of the yield curve is used to maximum tax-exempt income. During 2022 yields increased across the curve providing the fund with the opportunity to increase the Fund’s book yield. We have also significantly increased the overall portfolio quality as we remain defensive headed into the new year.
We remain focused on managing the Fund’s credit risk while maximizing tax-exempt income. The increased liquidity pressures and market volatility experienced during the past year led us to be more defensive in the Fund’s composition. We believe the Fund is well positioned for the current market conditions. Tax-exempt ratios remain at multi-year tights. Flows out of the asset class were at record levels during 2022.
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.

It may not be representative of the Fund’s current or future investments and should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell a particular security. |
* | Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) are nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. The quality ratings represent the lower of Moody’s or S&P credit ratings. When a rating from only one of the rating agencies is available, that rating is used. Securities not rated by Moody’s or S&P are categorized as not rated. Credit quality measures a bond issuer’s ability to repay interest and principal in a timely manner. Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subject to change periodically and are not absolute standard of quality. In formulating investment decisions for the Fund, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) develops its own analysis of the credit quality and risks associated with individual debt instruments, rather than relying exclusively on rating agency ratings. |

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in units of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2022.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| Actual Fund Return | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) |
Beginning Account Value July 1, 2022 | $1,000.00 | | $1,000.00 |
Ending Account value December 31, 2022 | $1,002.40 | | $1,024.10 |
Expenses Paid During Period* | $ 1.06 | | $ 1.07 |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.21%** (for the period July 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
** | May differ from expense ratio disclosed in the financial highlights, which is calculated based on the entire fiscal year's data. |

Elfun Income Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance — December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Elfun Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high level of income consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The Fund’s benchmark is the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was -13.47%, and the return for the Index was -13.01%. 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.
Duration was the primary driver of the Fund's performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. A modest duration over-weight relative to the Index during the Reporting Period, where the ten year Treasury yield increased 237bps, explains the Fund’s under-performance relative to the Index, and it explains the negative absolute return for both the Fund and the Index. Asset allocation and security selection, which each had a positive impact, had a limited impact on the Fund’s relative performance to the Index.
Our view in the fourth quarter of 2021 was that the Fed would have the latitude to engineer a soft landing of the economy during the Reporting Period and that the market had priced in too many rate hikes for the Reporting Period, which led to a modest duration over-weight relative to the Index. Despite this positive economic outlook, credit spreads began the Reporting Period at the rich side of long-term fair value with a bearish trend, which led the Fund to have a cyclically low over-weight allocation relative to the Index. During the Reporting Period, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China COVID-19 lock-downs caused inflation and interest rates to rise sharply and caused credit spreads to widen. The Fund’s cyclically low credit over-weight relative to the Index was increased over the Reporting Period at wider spreads and positive trend signals, which is why the Fund’s credit allocation was a positive contributor to performance, despite the fact that credit performance versus duration-equivalent treasuries was negative over the Reporting Period, with investment-grade credit and high yield under-performing risk-free assets during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s asset allocation over-weight to high yield generated positive excess returns to the Index.
The Fund used treasury futures and index credit default swaps in order to actively manage duration and credit spread duration during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s use of index credit default swaps contributed to Fund performance relative to the Index, while its use of treasury futures detracted from Fund performance.
Security selection in the commercial mortgage-backed securities and agency mortgage-backed securities allocations generated positive excess returns as our bottom-up fundamental underwriting assisted our portfolio construction process to select higher value securities, while security selection in investment-grade credit detracted from the Fund's performance relative to the Index.
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.

* | Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) are nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. The quality ratings represent the lower of Moody’s or S&P credit ratings. When a rating from only one of the rating agencies is available, that rating is used. Securities not rated by Moody’s or S&P are categorized as not rated. Credit quality measures a bond issuer’s ability to repay interest and principal in a timely manner. Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subject to change periodically and are not absolute standard of quality. In formulating investment decisions for the Fund, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) develops its own analysis of the credit quality and risks associated with individual debt instruments, rather than relying exclusively on rating agency ratings. |

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2022.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| Actual Fund Return | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) |
Beginning Account Value July 1, 2022 | $1,000.00 | | $1,000.00 |
Ending Account value December 31, 2022 | $ 973.40 | | $1,023.60 |
Expenses Paid During Period* | $ 1.59 | | $ 1.63 |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio of 0.32%** (for the period July 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
** | May differ from expense ratio disclosed in the financial highlights, which is calculated based on the entire fiscal year's data. |

Elfun Government Money Market Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance — December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Elfun Government Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) seeks a high level of current income consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The Fund’s benchmark is the Daily-Linked 90-Day T-Bill (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 1.45%, and the return for the Index was 1.46%. 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 U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) aggressive hiking cycle in response to high inflation readings was the primary driver of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index.
The Fed hiked interest rates by 4.25% throughout 2022, bringing the policy rate to 4.25-4.50% by the end of the Reporting Period. Because of the lift-off in interest rates, yields in both Prime and Government funds were untethered from the ultra-low territory they have been in for multiple years now. One-month T-Bill yields took off after the first rate hike, ending the year at 4.00%, up from 0.03% at the beginning of the year. Similarly, 12-month T-Bill yields rose strongly and steadily throughout the period, ending the year at 4.71%, up from just 0.37% at the beginning of the year.
T-Bill supply decreased over the first half of the year before being boosted slightly mid-summer, helping to nudge yields higher. Nevertheless, demand for bills continued to outpace supply during the period, as indicated by demand for the Fed’s reverse repo program (“RRP”). Demand hovered around $2.2 trillion in the second half of the year (compared to $1.6 trillion in January), and spiked as high as $2.5 trillion at year end.
Over the course of 2022 the fund adhered to its primary objective of principle preservation and liquidity while generating a market rate of return. At year end, the weighted average maturity (WAM) of the fund, measuring interest rate sensitivity, was around 12 days, a decrease from 18 days at the start of the year. The weighted average life (WAL) reflecting the credit risk for the fund was 50 days, a decrease from 82 days in January. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund held 63% in Treasury repo, 25% in U.S. Agency debt, and 12% in Treasuries. Just under 75% of the securities had overnight liquidity. The choice to sit shorter in duration with heavy investment in overnight repo and the Fed’s RRP benefitted the Fund as these securities often performed more favorably compared to longer-duration securities.
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.

Elfun Government Money Market Fund
Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses — December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2022.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| Actual Fund Return | | Hypothetical 5% Return (2.5% for the period) |
Beginning Account Value July 1, 2022 | $1,000.00 | | $1,000.00 |
Ending Account value December 31, 2022 | $1,013.20 | | $1,023.80 |
Expenses Paid During Period* | $ 1.42 | | $ 1.43 |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio of 0.28%** (for the period July 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
** | May differ from expense ratio disclosed in the financial highlights, which is calculated based on the entire fiscal year's data. |

Notes to Financial Statements — December 31, 2022
1. Organization of the Funds
The Elfun International Equity Fund, Elfun Trusts, Elfun Diversified Fund, Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund, Elfun Income Fund and Elfun Government Money Market Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are each registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as open-end management investment companies. Each Fund is a diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act.
Under each Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value each Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
• | Equity investments (including preferred stocks and registered investment companies that are exchange-traded funds) traded on a recognized securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last published sale price or at fair value. |
• | Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”) per share or unit. |
• | 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. |

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2022
• | Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price on the primary market on which they are traded most extensively. Exchange-traded futures contracts traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last reported sale price obtained from independent pricing services or brokers or at fair value. |
• | Options on futures are priced at their last sale price on the principal market on which they are traded on the valuation date. If there were no sales on that day, options on futures are valued at either the last reported sale or official closing price on their primary exchange determined in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board. |
• | Swap agreements are valued daily based upon prices supplied by Board approved pricing vendors or through brokers. Depending on the product and terms of the transaction, the value of agreements is determined using a series of techniques including valuation models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, yields, curves, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. In the event SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) is unable to obtain an independent, third-party valuation the agreements will be fair valued. |
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.
A “significant event” is an event that the Board believes, with a reasonably high degree of certainty, has caused the closing market prices of a Fund’s portfolio securities to no longer reflect their value at the time of the Fund’s NAV calculation. Fair value may be determined using an independent fair value service under valuation procedures approved by the Board. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of foreign securities exchanges. The use of the independent fair value service or alternative fair valuation methods would result in the investments being classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 December 31, 2022 is disclosed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments and foreign exchange transactions, if any, are determined using the identified cost method.
Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any.
Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.
Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock are recorded as dividend income at fair value.
Certain Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). REITs determine the tax character of their distributions annually and may characterize a portion of their distributions as a return of capital or capital gain. The Funds’ policy is to record all REIT distributions initially as dividend income and re-designate the prior calendar year’s to return of capital or capital gains distributions at year end based on information provided by the REITs and/or the Adviser’s estimates of such re-designations for which actual information has not yet been reported.
Expenses Fund specific expenses are charged to the Fund that incurs such expenses. Such expenses may include custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees. Expenses that are not Fund specific are allocated pro rata across the Funds.
Foreign Currency Translation The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars using exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Foreign Taxes The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with SSGA FM’s understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of December 31, 2022, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As a result of several court cases, in certain countries across the European Union (“EU"), certain Funds filed for additional tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in those countries. These additional filings are subject to various administrative proceedings by the local jurisdictions’ tax authorities within the EU, as well as a number of related judicial proceedings. Income recognized for such EU reclaims is reflected in the Statement of Operations and presented separately as "EU Reclaims" in cases where such reclaims exceed 5% of total investment income. When uncertainty exists as to the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these EU reclaims, and the potential timing of payment, no amounts are reflected in the financial statements.
For U.S. income tax purposes, EU reclaims received by a Fund, if any, reduce the amounts of foreign taxes the Fund’s shareholders can use as tax credits in their individual income tax returns. In the event that EU reclaims received by a Fund during the fiscal year exceed foreign withholding taxes paid, and the Fund previously passed foreign tax credit on to its shareholders, a Fund will enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in order to pay the associated tax liability on behalf of a Fund’s shareholders.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Elfun International Equity Fund received EU reclaims in the amount of $943,627, less estimated taxes and professional fees of $399,602 and $84,121, respectively, as a result as included on the Statement of Operations.

Distributions Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly for the Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund, Elfun Income Fund and Elfun Government Money Market Fund and declared and paid annually for the Eflun International Equity Fund, Elfun Trusts and Elfun Diversified Income Fund.
Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually, unless additional distributions are required for compliance with applicable tax regulations. The amount and character of income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with applicable tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.
3.Securities and Other Investments
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities During the period, the Elfun Diversified Fund and Elfun Income Fund 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 the applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments. A Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to such purchase commitments, a Fund identifies securities as segregated in its 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.
To-Be-Announced Transactions Certain Funds may seek to obtain exposure to U.S. agency mortgage pass-through securities through the use of “to-be-announced” or “TBA transactions.” “TBA” refers to a commonly used mechanism for the forward settlement of U.S. agency mortgage pass-through securities. In a TBA transaction, the buyer and seller decide on general trade parameters, such as agency, settlement date, coupon, and price.
A Fund may use TBA transactions to “roll over” such agreements prior to the settlement date. This type of TBA transaction is sometimes known as a “TBA roll.” In a TBA roll, a Fund generally will sell the obligation to purchase the pools stipulated in the TBA agreement prior to the settlement date and will enter into a new TBA agreement for future delivery of pools of mortgage pass-through securities. A Fund may also enter into TBA agreements and settle such transactions on the stipulated settlement date by accepting actual receipt or delivery of the pools of mortgage pass-through securities.
Default by or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose a Fund to possible loss because of adverse market action, expenses or delays in connection with the purchase or sale of the pools of mortgage pass-through securities specified in the TBA transaction. To minimize this risk, a Fund will enter into TBA transactions only with established counterparties. A Fund’s use of “TBA rolls” may impact portfolio turnover, transaction costs and capital gain distributions to shareholders.
Repurchase Agreements Certain Funds may enter into repurchase agreements under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement. A repurchase agreement customarily obligates the seller at the time it sells securities to a Fund to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon price and time. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of a Fund including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.
The applicable Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the Fund’s the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). The underlying securities are ordinarily United States Government or Government Agency securities, but may consist of other securities. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks including counterparty risks. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which the value of the collateral may decline.
As of December 31, 2022, the Elfun Government Money Market Fund had invested in repurchase agreements with the gross values of $100,490,000 and associated collateral equal to $102,499,980.

4.Derivative Financial Instruments
Futures Contracts Certain Funds may enter into futures contracts to meet the Funds’ objectives. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the clearing house. Securities deposited, if any, are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is shown as Net cash collateral on deposit with broker for future contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value, accumulated, exchange rates, and or other transactional fees. The accumulation of those payments are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. A Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.
Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to unfavorable changes in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk that the movements in the price of the futures contracts do not correlate with the movement of the assets underlying such contracts.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the following Funds entered into futures contracts for the strategies listed below:
Fund | Strategies |
Elfun International Equity Fund | Equitization of Cash |
Elfun Diversified Fund | Management of Interest Rate Risk and Equitization of Cash |
Elfun Income Fund | Management of Interest Rate Risk |
Credit Default Swaps During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Elfun Diversified Fund and Elfun Income Fund engaged in credit default swaps to manage credit risk. When a Fund is the buyer in a credit default swap contract, a Fund is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed upon) value (full notional value) of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty (or central clearing party (“CCP”) in the case of a centrally cleared swap) to the contract if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer or sovereign issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, a Fund pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, a Fund loses its investment and recovers nothing. However, if a credit event occurs, a Fund receives full notional value for a referenced debt obligation that may have little or no value. When a Fund is the seller of a credit default swap, it receives a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the contract, provided there is no credit event. If a credit event occurs, a Fund is obligated to pay the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that a Fund could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by a Fund for the same referenced obligation.
As the seller, a Fund may create economic leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, a Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. A Fund also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. For centrally cleared swaps, the daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the CCP daily. All upfront payments, if any, are amortized over the life of the swap as realized gains or losses. Those upfront payments that are paid or received, typically for non-centrally cleared swaps, are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, net of amortization. For

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2022
financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments, if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swaps to determine the market value of swaps. A Fund segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller. A Fund segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to any unrealized depreciation of the credit default swaps of which it is the buyer, marked to market on a daily basis. Credit default swaps involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the referenced debt obligation directly. If a Fund is a buyer of a credit default swap and no credit event occurs, a Fund will not earn any return on its investment. If a Fund is a seller of a credit default swap, a Fund’s risk of loss may be the entire notional amount of the swap. Swaps may also subject a Fund to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction may not fulfill its obligation. In the case of centrally cleared swaps, counterparty risk is minimal due to protections provided by the CCP.
The following tables summarize the value of the Funds’ derivative instruments as of December 31, 2022 and the related location in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

5.Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory Fee SSGA FM, a registered investment adviser, was retained by the Board to act as investment adviser and administrator of each Fund. SSGA FM’s compensation for investment advisory and administrative services (“Management Fee”) is paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of each Fund. The Management Fee is stated in the following schedule:
Fund | Management Fee |
Elfun International Equity Fund | 0.21% |
Elfun Trusts | 0.14% |
Elfun Diversified Fund | 0.17% |
Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund | 0.16% |
Elfun Income Fund | 0.17% |
Elfun Government Money Market Fund | 0.10% |
SSGA FM is contractually obligated until April 30, 2023 to waive its Management Fee and/or reimburse certain expenses for the Elfun Diversified Fund and Elfun Income Fund, in an amount equal to any acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFEs”), excluding AFFEs derived from each Fund’s holdings in acquired funds for cash management purposes, if any. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement may not be terminated prior to April 30, 2023 except with approval of the Board.
Amounts waived or reimbursed are included in the respective Statement of Operations.
Each of the Adviser and certain of its affiliates (each a “Service Provider”) also may voluntarily reduce all or a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses for the Elfun Government Money Market Fund to the extent necessary to attempt to maintain a certain minimum net yield, which may vary from time to time, in SSGA FM's sole discretion (any such waiver or reimbursement of expenses by a Service Provider being referred to herein as a "Voluntary Reduction"). Under an agreement with the Service Providers relating to the Voluntary Reduction, the Elfun Government Money Market Fund has agreed to reimburse the Service Providers for the full dollar amount of any Voluntary Reduction beginning on May 1, 2020, subject to certain limitations. Each Service Provider may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably waive receipt of any or all reimbursement amounts due from the Elfun Government Money Market Fund. A reimbursement to the Service Provider would increase fund expenses and may negatively impact the Elfun Government Money Market Fund’s yield during such period. There is no guarantee that the Voluntary Reduction will be in effect at any given time or that the Elfun Government Money Market Fund will be able to avoid a negative yield. The Elfun Government Money Market Fund has agreed, subject to certain limitations, to reimburse the applicable Service Provider for the full dollar amount of any Voluntary Reduction incurred after May 1, 2020. Any such future reimbursement of an applicable Service Provider may result in the total annual operating expenses of the Fund exceeding the amount of the expense cap under the contractual expense limitation agreement because the expense is not covered by the agreement. Fees reduced or expenses reimbursed by the Service Providers in connection with the Voluntary Reduction for the period ended December 31, 2022 were $43,973.

Other Transactions with Affiliates The Funds may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street Corporation, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Funds owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.
6.Trustees' Fees
The fees and expenses of each Fund’s trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), are paid directly by the Funds. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.
7.Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions, short term investments and derivative contracts) for the year ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:

8.Income Tax Information
The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Fund will not be subject to the federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.
The Funds file federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. SSGA FM has analyzed the Funds' tax positions 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,

foreign currency gains and losses, corporate actions, paydown losses, future contracts, swap contracts, straddle loss deferrals, capital gain taxes, return of capital adjustments, premium amortization and wash sale loss deferrals.

The Funds (excluding the Elfun Government Money Market Fund) and other affiliated funds (each, a “Participant” and collectively, the “Participants”) have access to $200 million of a $1.275 billion ($1.1 billion prior to October 6, 2022) revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires in October 2023 unless extended or renewed.
The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is calculated based on the unused portion of the shared credit line. Commitment fees are allocated among each of the Participants based on relative net assets. Commitment fees are ordinary fund operating expenses. A Participant incurs and pays the interest expense related to its borrowing. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1.00% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and the one-month SOFR Rate.
The Funds had no outstanding loans as of December 31, 2022.
10.Risks
Concentration Risk As a result of a Fund's ability to invest a large percentage of its assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of a Fund's investments more than if a Fund was more broadly diversified.
Interest Rate Risk Is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. Bond prices generally rise when interest rates decline and generally decline when interest rates rise. Changes in governmental policy, including changes in central bank monetary policy, could cause interest rates to rise rapidly, or cause investors to expect a rapid rise in interest rates. This could lead to heightened levels of interest rate, volatility and liquidity risks for the fixed income markets generally and could have a substantial and immediate effect on the values of a Fund’s investments. The U.S. Federal Reserve has been engaged in an aggressive campaign to raise interest rates in an effort to combat historically high levels of inflation. Interest rate increases may continue. High levels of inflation and/or a significantly changing interest rate environment can lead to heightened levels of volatility and reduced liquidity.
Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk Investing in foreign markets involves risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of government regulation, economic, political and social instability in the countries in which a Fund invests. Foreign markets may
120 | Notes to Financial Statements |
Elfun Funds
Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2022
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.
Russian Sanctions Risk Sanctions threatened or imposed by a number of jurisdictions, including the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom, and other intergovernmental actions that have been or may be undertaken in the future, against Russia, Russian entities or Russian individuals, may result in the devaluation of Russian currency, a downgrade in the country’s credit rating, an immediate freeze of Russian assets, a decline in the value and liquidity of Russian securities, property or interests, and/or other adverse consequences to the Russian economy or a Fund. The scope and scale of sanctions in place at a particular time may be expanded or otherwise modified in a way that have negative effects on a Fund. Sanctions, or the threat of new or modified sanctions, could impair the ability of a Fund to buy, sell, hold, receive, deliver or otherwise transact in certain affected securities or other investment instruments. Sanctions could also result in Russia taking counter measures or other actions in response, which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities. These sanctions, and the resulting disruption of the Russian economy, may cause volatility in other regional and global markets and may negatively impact the performance of various sectors and industries, as well as companies in other countries, which could have a negative effect on the performance of a Fund, even if a Fund does not have direct exposure to securities of Russian issuers. As a collective result of the imposition of sanctions, Russian government countermeasures and the impact that they have had on the trading markets for Russian securities, certain Funds have used, and may in the future use, fair valuation procedures approved by the Fund’s Board to value certain Russian securities, which could result in such securities being deemed to have a zero value.
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 a Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Market Risk A Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, and general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. A Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness, such as COVID-19, or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.
11.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.
This change in accounting policy has been made to comply with the newly issued accounting standard and had no impact on total accumulated earnings (loss) or the NAV of each Fund. With respect to each Fund’s results of

operations, amortization of premium to first call date accelerates amortization with the intent of more closely aligning the recognition of income on such bonds with the economics of the instrument.
12.Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Elfun International Equity Fund, Elfun Trusts, Elfun Diversified Fund, Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund, Elfun Income Fund and Elfun Government Money Market Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Elfun International Equity Fund, Elfun Trusts, Elfun Diversified Fund, Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund, Elfun Income Fund and Elfun Government Money Market Fund (collectively referred to as the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2022, 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 at December 31, 2022, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

(b) Not applicable.
Item 2. Code of Ethics.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Elfun Diversified Fund (the “Fund,” “Fund Entity” or “Registrant”) has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR, that applies to the Registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the Registrant or a third party (the “Code”). That Code comprises written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote: (1) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (2) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Registrant files with, or submits to, the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Registrant; (3) compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations; (4) the prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of violations of the Code; and (5) accountability for adherence to the Code. The Code is combined with other mutual funds advised by SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”). The Registrant has not made any amendments to the Code that relates to any element of the code of ethics definition set forth in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR during the covered period. The Registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the Code during the covered period. A copy of the Code is filed as Exhibit 13(a)(1) to this Form N-CSR.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has determined that the Fund has the following “audit committee financial experts” as defined in Item 3(b) of Form N-CSR serving on its audit committee (the “Audit Committee”): Messrs. Richard D. Shirk, John R. Costantino and George M. Pereira and Ms. Donna M. Rapaccioli. Each of the “audit committee financial experts” is “independent” as that term is defined in Item 3(a)(2) of Form N-CSR.
An “audit committee financial expert” is not an “expert” for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a result of being designated as an “audit committee financial expert.” Further, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not mean that the person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those imposed on the person without the “audit committee financial expert” designation. Similarly, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or the Board.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Fund’s Audit Committee Charter states the following with respect to pre-approval procedures:
The Audit Committee shall have the following duties and powers:
| • | | To pre-approve engagements by a Fund Entity’s independent auditor for non-audit services to be rendered to the Fund’s investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund; |
| • | | To establish, if deemed necessary or appropriate as an alternative to Audit Committee pre-approval of services to be provided by the independent auditor as required by paragraph (b) above, policies and procedures to permit such services to be pre-approved by other means, such as by action of a designated member or members of the Audit Committee, subject to the requirement that the decision of any member to whom authority is delegated to pre-approve an activity shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting; |
Alternate Pre-Approval Procedure:
| • | | The Chairperson, or a Co-Chairperson, of the Audit Committee is authorized to pre-approve any engagement involving the Fund Entity’s independent auditors to the same extent as the Audit Committee. Any pre-approval decision by the Chairperson, or a Co-Chairperson, under the foregoing authority shall be presented to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. |
(e)(2) Percentages of Services
None of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item were performed in reliance on paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during the period of time for which such rule was effective.
(g) | Total Fees Paid By Adviser and Certain Affiliates |
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate non-audit fees billed by E&Y for services rendered to the Registrant and the Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provided ongoing services to the Registrant were approximately $38,000,000 and $38,000,000, respectively.
(h) | E&Y notified the Fund’s Audit Committee of all non-audit services that were rendered by E&Y to the Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides services to the Fund, which services were not required to be pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, allowing the Fund’s Audit Committee to consider whether such services were compatible with maintaining E&Y’s independence. |
