How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

All but three months posted positive returns over the reporting period. US stocks rallied in Q4 of 2023, supported by prospects of rate cuts in 2024. Most sectors performed well over the quarter, except for energy, which was dragged down by weak crude prices over the quarter. US equities rallied for a second straight quarter in Q1 2024. At 10.4%, the S&P 500 Index posted its biggest first-quarter gain since 2019 and its fifth gain in the last six quarters. Within sectors, communications services fared the best. The A.I. theme was one of the key tailwinds in Q1 2024, helping to drive select big tech and momentum factor outperformance. The S&P 500 Index returned a 4.2% for Q2 of 2024. There was a tough start to the quarter in April, but the momentum changed in the middle of the month due to a strong jobs report, ending up positive in May and June. The S&P 500 ended July above 5,500, reflecting a gain of 1.2% over the month. US equity markets gained in August, with the S&P 500 rising 2.4% and only consumer discretionary and energy being in the red.

The Fund used futures in order to expose cash and dividends to the market during the reporting period. The Fund's use of futures detracted from the Fund's performance relative to the Index.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, SSGA Funds (the "Trust," "Fund Entity" or "Registrant") has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR, that appliesto the Registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the Registrant or a third party (the "Code"). That Code comprises written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote: (1) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (2) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Registrant files with, or submits to, the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and in other public communications made by the Registrant; (3) compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations; (4) the prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of violations of the Code; and (5) accountability for adherence to the Code. For the period covered by the report, the Code was combined with other mutual funds advised by SSGA Funds Management, Inc. ("SSGA FM" or the "Adviser"). The Registrant has not made any amendments to the Code that relates to any element of the code of ethics definition set forth in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR during thecovered period. The Registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the Code during the covered period. A copy of the Code is filed as Exhibit 19(a)(1) to this Form N-CSR.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") has determined that the Trust has the following "audit committee financial experts" as defined in Item 3(b) of Form N-CSRserving on its audit committee (the "Audit Committee"): Messrs.

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.

STATE STREET S&P 500 INDEX FUND
Notes to Financial Statements - August 31, 2024
1. Organization
The SSGA Funds (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), is an open-end management investment company.
As of August 31, 2024, the Trust consists of two (2) series (and corresponding classes, each of which have the same rights and privileges, including voting rights), each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board" and each member thereof, a "Trustee") to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following series (the "Fund"):
Fund Classes Commencement of Operations Diversification Classification
State Street S&P 500 Index Fund Class N December 30, 1992 Diversified
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation
The Fund's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of the Fund are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the "Committee") and approved by the Board. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
• Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last published sale price or at fair value.
• Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day's published net asset value ("NAV") per share or unit.
• Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price on the primary market on which they are traded most extensively. Exchange-traded futures contracts traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last reported sale price obtained from independent pricing services or brokers or at fair value.

SSGA FUNDS
STATE STREET S&P 500 INDEX FUND(continued)
Notes to Financial Statements - August 31, 2024
In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that the application of these valuation methods results in a price for an investment that is deemed to be not representative of the fair value of such investment, fair value will be determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.
The Fund values its assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
• Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee's assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
The value of the Fund's investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2024 is disclosed in the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale and disposition of investments are determined using the identified cost method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, or when the information becomes available, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value.
The Fund invests 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 Fund's policy is to record all REIT distributions initially as dividend income and re-designate a portion of the capital or capital gains distributions at year end based on information provided by the REIT and/or SSGA Funds Management, Inc.'s (the "Adviser" or "SSGA FM") estimates of such re-designations for which actual information has not yet been reported.
Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and relative net assets of the Fund within the Trust.
Distributions
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually, unless additional distributions are required for compliance with applicable tax regulations. The amount and character of income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with applicable tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.

3. Derivative Financial Instruments
Futures Contracts
The Fund may enter into futures contracts to meet its objectives. A futures contract is a standardized,exchange-traded agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the 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 included in Net cash at broker 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. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.
Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to unfavorable changes in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk that the movements in the price of the futures contracts do not correlate with the movement of the assets underlying such contracts.
For the year ended August 31, 2024, the Fund entered into futures contracts for cash equitization, to reduce tracking error and to facilitate daily liquidity.
The following tables summarize the value of the Fund's derivative instruments as of August 31, 2024, and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates

Notes to Financial Statements - August 31, 2024
prior to December 31, 2024 except with the approval of the Board. During the year ended August 31, 2024, SSGA FM agreed to reimburse fees of $ $102,919.
Administrator, Sub-Administrator and Custodian Fees
SSGA FM serves as administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as custodian and sub-administrator. For its administrative services, the Fund pays SSGA FM a fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of its average daily net assets. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. SSGA FM has contractually agreed to waive 0.01% of its administration fee. The waiver may not be terminated or modified except with the approval of the Board and shall continue until at least December 31, 2024. For the year ended August 31, 2024, SSGA FM waived fees in the amount of $139,057. The Adviser and the Fund each bear a portion of the fee paid to State Street for providing sub-administration and custodian services with respect to the Fund.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors, LLC ("SSGA FD" or the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the distributor of the Trust.
The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, under which the Fund may compensate the Distributor (or others) for services in connection with the distribution of the Fund's Class N shares and for services provided to shareholders in that class (the "Plan").
The Plan calls for payments at an annual rate (based on average daily net assets) of 0.25% of the Fund's net assets attributable to its Class N shares. In addition to payments under the Plan, the Fund may reimburse the Distributor or its affiliates for payments it makes to financial intermediaries that provide certain administrative, recordkeeping and account maintenance services. The amount of the reimbursement and the manner in which it is calculated are reviewed by the Trustees periodically.
Additionally, the Board approved a limit of 0.062% of average daily net assets on the amount of Rule 12b-1 fees paid to the Distributor.
Other Transactions with Affiliates - Securities Lending
State Street, an affiliate of the Fund, acts as the securities lending agent for the Fund, pursuant to an amended and restated securities lending authorization agreement dated January 6, 2017, as amended.
Net proceeds collected by State Street on investment of cash collateral or any fee income less rebates payable to borrowers, are paid as follows: If the calendar year to date net proceeds is below a specified threshold across participating affiliated funds, the Fund retains eighty five percent (85%) of the net proceeds and fifteen percent (15%) of such net proceeds is payable to State Street. Starting the business day following the date that calendar year to date net proceeds exceeds a specified threshold, the Fund retains ninety percent (90%) of the net proceeds and ten percent (10%) of such net proceeds is payable to State Street.
In addition, cash collateral from lending activities is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Portfolio II, an affiliated fund, for which SSGA FM serves as investment adviser. See Note 8 for additional information regarding securities lending.
Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street Corporation, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Fund owning more than five percent of the entity's voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the year ended August 31, 2024, are disclosed in the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Trustees' Fees
The fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees"), are paid directly by the Fund. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.

State Street S&P 500 Index Fund
$28,903,963 $153,555,731
7. Income Tax Information
The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.
The Fund files federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. SSGA FM has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net asset values or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to nontaxable dividend adjustments to income,wash sale loss deferrals, and futures contracts. In addition, the Fund has claimed a portion of the payments made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended August 31, 2024, was as follows:

8. Securities Lending
The Fund may lend securities to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The value of the collateral with respect to a loaned security may be temporarily more or less than the value of a security due to market fluctuations of securities values. With respect to each loan, if on any U.S. business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are subject to the loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral on the next business day.
The Fund will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. In addition, the Fund will bear the risk of loss of any cash collateral that it may invest. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as the lending agent. Additionally, the Fund will receive a fee from the borrower for non-cash collateral equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities.
The market value of securities on loan as of August 31, 2024, and the value of the invested cash collateral are disclosed in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral is not disclosed in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund, and the Fund does not have the ability to re-hypothecate those securities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Fund's Statement of Operations, represents the income earned from the non-cash collateral and the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as lending agent.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of State Street S&P 500 Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of State Street S&P 500 Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting SSGA Funds (the "Trust")), including the schedule of investments, as of August 31, 2024, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting SSGA Funds) at August 31, 2024, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the 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 August 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

TRUSTEE CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING CONTINUATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT1
Overview of the Contract Review Process
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), an investment advisory agreement between a mutual fund and its investment adviser may continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund's board of trustees or its shareholders, and by a vote of a majority of those trustees who are not "interested persons" of the fund (the "Independent Trustees") cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.Consistent with these requirements, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the SSGA Funds (the "Trust"), met in person on April 3, 2024 and May 8-9, 2024, including in executive sessions attended by the Independent Trustees, to consider a proposal to approve, with respect to State Street S&P 500 Index Fund (the "Fund"), the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. ("SSGA FM" or the "Adviser"). Prior to voting on the proposal, the Independent Trustees reviewed information furnished by the Adviser and others reasonably necessary to permit the Board to evaluate the proposal fully. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by counsel who are independent of the Adviser ("Independent Counsel") in connection with their consideration of approval of the Advisory Agreement. Following the April 3, 2024 meeting, the Independent Trustees submitted questions and requests for additional information to management, and considered management's responses thereto prior to and at the May 8-9, 2024 meeting. The Independent Trustees considered, among other things, the following:
Information about Performance, Expenses and Fees
A report prepared by an independent third-party provider of investment company data, which includes for the Fund:
o Comparisons of the Fund's performance over the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2023, to the performance of an appropriate benchmark provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") for the Fund (the "Benchmark") and a universe of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and policies (the "Performance Group" and/or the "Performance Universe") constructed by Broadridge;
o Comparisons of the Fund's expense ratio (with detail of component expenses) to the expense ratios of a group of comparable mutual funds selected by the independent third-party data provider (the "Expense Group" and/or "Expense Universe");
o A chart showing the Fund's historical average net assets relative to its total expenses, management fees, and non-management expenses over the past five calendar years; and
o Comparisons of the Fund's contractual management fee to the contractual management fees of comparable mutual funds at different asset levels.
Comparative information concerning fees charged by the Adviser for managing institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing the Fund, as applicable; and
______________________________________________
1 Over the course of many years overseeing the Fund and other investment companies, the Independent Trustees have identified numerous relevant issues, factors and concerns ("issues, factors and concerns") that they consider each year in connection with the proposed continuation of the advisory agreement, the administration agreement, the distribution plans, the distribution agreement and various related-party service agreements (the "annual review process"). The statement of issues, factors and concerns and the related conclusions of the Independent Trustees may not change substantially from year to year. However, the information requested by, and provided to, the Independent Trustees with respect to the issues, factors and concerns and on which their conclusions are based is updated annually and, in some cases, may differ substantially from the previous year. The Independent Trustees schedule annually a separate in-person meeting that is dedicated to the annual review process (the "special meeting"). At the special meeting and throughout the annual review process, the Independent Trustees take a fresh look at each of the issues, factors and concerns in light of the latest available information and each year present one or more sets of comments and questions to management with respect to specific issues, factors and concerns. Management responds to such comments and questions to the satisfaction of the Independent Trustees before the annual review process is completed and prior to the Independent Trustees voting on proposals to approve continuation of the agreements and plans.

Information from SSGA FM, State Street and the Distributor with respect to the Trust providing any material changes to the previous information supplied in response to the letter from Independent Counsel prior to the executive session of the Board on May 8-9, 2024; and
Materials provided by Broadridge, circulated to the Independent Trustees and to Independent Counsel.
In addition to the information identified above, the Board considered information provided from time to time by the Adviser, and other service providers of the Fund throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to the performance of the Fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the Fund's investment objective.
The Independent Trustees were assisted throughout the contract review process by their Independent Counsel. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement, and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to the Advisory Agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the Fund.
Results of the Process
Based on a consideration of the foregoing and such other information as deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, at the meeting held on May 8-9, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement effective June 1, 2024, for an additional year with respect to the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser's management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Fund, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund. The Board evaluated, where relevant, the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing particular markets, industries and specific issuers of securities in these markets and industries. The Board also considered the substantial expertise of the Adviser in developing and applying proprietary quantitative models for managing various funds that invest primarily in equity securities. The Board considered the extensive experience and resources committed by the Adviser to risk management, including with respect to investment risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, counterparty risk and model risk. Further, the Board considered material enhancements made to the risk management processes and systems over the past year. The Trustees also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks. The Board also took into account the compensation paid to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Fund by senior management, as well as the Adviser's succession planning process.
The Board had previously reviewed the compliance programs of SSGA FM and various affiliated service providers. Among other things, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity, the allocation of investment opportunities and the voting of proxies. The Board also considered the role of the Adviser in overseeing the Fund's securities lending activities.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the Adviser can be expected to continue to provide high quality investment management and related services for the Fund.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund's investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark and universe of comparable mutual funds for various time periods ended December 31, 2023. For purposes of these comparisons the Independent Trustees relied extensively on the Performance Group, Performance Universe and Benchmark and the analyses of the related data provided by Broadridge. Among other information, the Board considered the following performance information in its evaluation of the Fund:
23
Table of Contents
SSGA FUNDS
STATE STREET S&P 500 INDEX FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)
August 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
State Street S&P 500 Index Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's performance was above the medians of its Performance Group and Performance Universe for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund's performance was below the Benchmark for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also took into account the fact that the Fund is designed to track a designated index.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund is satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed the contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by the Fund and actual fees paid by the Fund, net of waivers. As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund's management fee and total expense ratio, including the portion attributable to administrative services provided by SSGA FM (both before and after giving effect to any expense caps), as compared to its Expense Group and Expense Universe, as constructed by Broadridge, and the related Broadridge analysis for the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser to the fees charged and services provided to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional accounts. In addition, the Board considered the willingness of the Adviser to provide undertakings from time to time to waive fees or pay expenses of the Fund to limit the total expenses borne by shareholders of the Fund. Among other information, the Board considered the following expense information in its evaluation of the Fund:
State Street S&P 500 Index Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's actual management fee was below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Fund's total expenses were below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the fees and the expense ratio of the Fund compare favorably to the fees and expenses of the Expense Group and Expense Universe and are reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates in providing investment advisory and other services to the Fund and to all funds within the fund complex. The Board considered other direct and indirect benefits received by the Adviser and Affiliated Service Providers in connection with their relationships with the Fund, together with the profitability of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to their services to the Fund and/or fund complex. The Board also considered the various risks borne by SSGA FM and State Street in connection with their various roles in servicing the Trust, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks.
The Board concluded that the profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Fund, and the profitability range of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to its services to the Fund, were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the fund complex, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and fund complex increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund or the fund complex taken as a whole. The Board concluded that, in light of the current size of the Fund and the fund complex, the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Fund and the fund complex over various time periods, and the comparative management fee and expense ratio of the Fund during these periods, it does not appear that the Adviser or its affiliates has realized benefits from economies of scale in managing the assets of the Fund to such an extent that previously agreed advisory fees should be reduced or that breakpoints in such fees should be implemented for the Fund at this time.
Conclusions
In reaching its decision to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as being controlling, but based its recommendation on each of the factors it considered. Each Trustee may have contributed different weight to the various factors. Based upon the materials reviewed, the representations made and the considerations described above, and as part of its deliberations, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Adviser possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement.

STATE STREET INTERNATIONAL STOCK SELECTION FUND
Notes to Financial Statements - August 31, 2024
1. Organization
The SSGA Funds (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), is an open-end management investment company.
As of August 31, 2024, the Trust consists of two (2) series (and corresponding classes, each of which have the same rights and privileges, including voting rights), each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board" and each member thereof, a "Trustee") to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following series (the "Fund"):
Fund Classes Commencement of
Operations
Diversification
Classification
State Street International Stock Selection Fund Class A
Class I
Class K
Class N
July 7, 2014
July 7, 2014
July 7, 2014
March 7, 1995
Diversified
Class A shares are available to the general public for investment through transaction-based financial intermediaries. Class A shares impose a sales charge (as a percentage of offering price) and may be subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase of an investment of $1,000,000 or more and the shares are redeemed within 18 months of purchase. Class I, Class K and Class N shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation
The Fund's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of the Fund are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the "Committee") and approved by the Board. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
• Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last published sale price or at fair value.
• Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day's published net asset value ("NAV") per share or unit.
13
Table of Contents
SSGA FUNDS
STATE STREET INTERNATIONAL STOCK SELECTION FUND(continued)
Notes to Financial Statements - August 31, 2024
• Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price on the primary market on which they are traded most extensively. Exchange-traded futures contracts traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last reported sale price obtained from independent pricing services or brokers or at fair value.
In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that the application of these valuation methods results in a price for an investment that is deemed to be not representative of the fair value of such investment, fair value will be determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.
A "significant event" is an event that the Board believes, with a reasonably high degree of certainty, has caused the closing market prices of the Fund's portfolio securities to no longer reflect their value at the time of the Fund's net asset value 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.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.
The Fund values its assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
• Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee's assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
The value of the Fund's investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2024 is disclosed in the 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, or when the information becomes available, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.
Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Fund may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains.

Notes to Financial Statements - August 31, 2024
Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Funds within the Trust. Class specific expenses are borne by each class.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Fund 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 Fund may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with SSGA Funds Management, Inc.'s (the "Adviser" or "SSGA FM") understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are reflected in the Statement of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of August 31, 2024, if any, are disclosed in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As a result of several court cases, in certain countries across the European Union ("EU"), the Fund 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. 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 the Fund, if any, during a fiscal year reduce the amounts of foreign taxes that the Fund passes through to its shareholders for their use as foreign tax credits on their individual income tax returns. In the event that EU reclaims received by the Fund during the fiscal year exceed foreign withholding taxes paid, and the Fund previously passed through those refunded EU taxes to its shareholders for their use as foreign tax credits on prior year individual income tax returns the Fund will enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") in order to pay the associated tax liability on behalf of the Fund's shareholders, payable by the Fund to the IRS as a compliance fee.
Distributions
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually, unless additional distributions are required for compliance with applicable tax regulations. The amount and character of income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with applicable tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.
3. Derivative Financial Instruments
Futures Contracts
The Fund may enter into futures contracts to meet the Fund's objectives. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the clearing house. Securities deposited, if any, are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is included in Net cash at broker 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. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.
Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to unfavorable changes in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk that the movements in the price of the futures contracts do not correlate with the movement of the assets underlying such contracts.
For the year ended August 31, 2024, the Fund entered into futures contracts in order to equitize cash.
The following tables summarize the value of the Fund's derivative instruments as of August 31, 2024, and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

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

Notes to Financial Statements - August 31, 2024
Administrator, Sub-Administrator and Custodian Fees
SSGA FM serves as administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as custodian and sub-administrator. For its administrative services, the Fund pays SSGA FM a fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of its average daily net assets. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. SSGA FM has contractually agreed to waive 0.01% of its administration fee.

For the year ended August 31, 2024, SSGA FM waived fees in the amount of $13,146.
The Adviser and the Fund each bear a portion of the fee paid to State Street for providing sub-administration and custodian services with respect to the Fund.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors, LLC ("SSGA FD" or the "Distributor") an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the distributor of the Trust.
The Fund adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, under which the Fund may compensate the Distributor (or others) for services in connection with the distribution of the Fund's Class A and Class N shares and for services provided to shareholders in those classes (the "Plan").
The Plan calls for payments at an annual rate (based on average daily net assets) of 0.25% of the Fund's net assets attributable to its Class A shares and 0.25% of the Fund's net assets attributable to its Class N shares. In addition to payments under the Plan, the Fund may reimburse the Distributor or its affiliates for payments it makes to financial intermediaries that provide certain administrative, recordkeeping and account maintenance services. The amount of the reimbursement and the manner in which it is calculated are reviewed by the Trustees periodically.
Other Transactions with Affiliates - Securities Lending
State Street, an affiliate of the Fund, acts as the securities lending agent for the Fund, pursuant to an amended and restated securities lending authorization agreement dated January 6, 2017, as amended.
Net proceeds collected by State Street on investment of cash collateral or any fee income less rebates payable to borrowers are paid as follows: If the calendar year to date net proceeds are below a specified threshold across participating affiliated funds, the Fund retains eighty five percent (85%) of the net proceeds and fifteen percent (15%) of such net proceeds is payable to State Street. Starting the business day following the date that calendar year to date net proceeds exceeds a specified threshold, the Fund retains ninety percent (90%) of the net proceeds and ten percent (10%) of such net proceeds is payable to State Street.
In addition, cash collateral from lending activities is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Portfolio II, an affiliated fund, for which SSGA FM serves as investment adviser. See Note 8 for additional information regarding securities lending.
Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street Corporation, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Fund owning more than five percent of the entity's voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the year ended August 31, 2024, are disclosed in the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Trustees' Fees
The fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees"), are paid directly by the Fund. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.

7. Income Tax Information
The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.
The Fund files federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. SSGA FM has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net asset values or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currencies, passive foreign investment companies, wash sale loss deferrals, and futures contracts.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended August 31, 2024, was as follows:

8. Securities Lending
The Fund may lend securities to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The value of the collateral with respect to a loaned security may be temporarily more or less than the value of a security due to market fluctuations of securities values. With respect to each loan, if on any U.S. business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are subject to the loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral on the next business day.
The Fund will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. In addition, the Fund will bear the risk of loss of any cash collateral that it may invest. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as the lending agent. Additionally, the Fund will receive a fee from the borrower for non-cash collateral equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities.
The market value of securities on loan as of August 31, 2024, and the value of the invested cash collateral are disclosed in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral is not disclosed in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund, and the Fund does not have the ability to re-hypothecate those securities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Fund's Statement of Operations, represents the income earned from the non-cash collateral and the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as lending agent.
The following is a summary of the Fund's securities lending agreements and related cash and non-cash collateral received as of August 31, 2024:

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 Fund had no outstanding loans as of August 31, 2024.
10. Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the 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 the Fund's investments more than if the Fund was more broadly diversified.
Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk
Investing in foreign markets involves risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of government regulation, economic, political and social instability in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign markets may be less liquid than investments in the U.S. and may be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations. To the extent that the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be even more pronounced.
Credit Risk
The Fund may be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Market Risk
The Fund's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness, such as COVID-19, or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments.
11. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of State Street International Stock Selection Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of State Street International Stock Selection Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting SSGA Funds (the "Trust")), including the schedule of investments, as of August 31, 2024, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting SSGA Funds) at August 31, 2024, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the 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 August 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
August 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
TRUSTEE CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING CONTINUATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT1
Overview of the Contract Review Process
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), an investment advisory agreement between a mutual fund and its investment adviser may continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund's board of trustees or its shareholders, and by a vote of a majority of those trustees who are not "interested persons" of the fund (the "Independent Trustees") cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
Consistent with these requirements, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the SSGA Funds (the "Trust"), met in person on April 3, 2024 and May 8-9, 2024, including in executive sessions attended by the Independent Trustees, to consider a proposal to approve, with respect to State Street International Stock Selection Fund (the "Fund"), the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. ("SSGA FM" or the "Adviser"). Prior to voting on the proposal, the Independent Trustees reviewed information furnished by the Adviser and others reasonably necessary to permit the Board to evaluate the proposal fully. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by counsel who are independent of the Adviser ("Independent Counsel") in connection with their consideration of approval of the Advisory Agreement. Following the April 3, 2024 meeting, the Independent Trustees submitted questions and requests for additional information to management, and considered management's responses thereto prior to and at the May 8-9, 2024 meeting. The Independent Trustees considered, among other things, the following:
Information about Performance, Expenses and Fees
A report prepared by an independent third-party provider of investment company data, which includes for the Fund:
o Comparisons of the Fund's performance over the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2023, to the performance of an appropriate benchmark provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") for the Fund (the "Benchmark") and a universe of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and policies (the "Performance Group" and/or the "Performance Universe") constructed by Broadridge;
o Comparisons of the Fund's expense ratio (with detail of component expenses) to the expense ratios of a group of comparable mutual funds selected by the independent third-party data provider (the "Expense Group" and/or "Expense Universe");
o A chart showing the Fund's historical average net assets relative to its total expenses, management fees, and non-management expenses over the past five calendar years; and
o Comparisons of the Fund's contractual management fee to the contractual management fees of comparable mutual funds at different asset levels.
Comparative information concerning fees charged by the Adviser for managing institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing the Fund, as applicable; and
______________________________________________
1 Over the course of many years overseeing the Fund and other investment companies, the Independent Trustees have identified numerous relevant issues, factors and concerns ("issues, factors and concerns") that they consider each year in connection with the proposed continuation of the advisory agreement, the administration agreement, the distribution plans, the distribution agreement and various related-party service agreements (the "annual review process"). The statement of issues, factors and concerns and the related conclusions of the Independent Trustees may not change substantially from year to year. However, the information requested by, and provided to, the Independent Trustees with respect to the issues, factors and concerns and on which their conclusions are based is updated annually and, in some cases, may differ substantially from the previous year. The Independent Trustees schedule annually a separate in-person meeting that is dedicated to the annual review process (the "special meeting"). At the special meeting and throughout the annual review process, the Independent Trustees take a fresh look at each of the issues, factors and concerns in light of the latest available information and each year present one or more sets of comments and questions to management with respect to specific issues, factors and concerns. Management responds to such comments and questions to the satisfaction of the Independent Trustees before the annual review process is completed and prior to the Independent Trustees voting on proposals to approve continuation of the agreements and plans.

Information from SSGA FM, State Street and the Distributor with respect to the Trust providing any material changes to the previous information supplied in response to the letter from Independent Counsel prior to the executive session of the Board on May 8-9, 2024; and
Materials provided by Broadridge, circulated to the Independent Trustees and to Independent Counsel.
In addition to the information identified above, the Board considered information provided from time to time by the Adviser, and other service providers of the Fund throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to the performance of the Fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the Fund's investment objective.
The Independent Trustees were assisted throughout the contract review process by their Independent Counsel. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement, and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to the Advisory Agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the Fund.
Results of the Process
Based on a consideration of the foregoing and such other information as deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, at the meeting held on May 8-9, 2024 the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement effective June 1, 2024, for an additional year with respect to the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser's management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Fund, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund. The Board evaluated, where relevant, the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing particular markets, industries and specific issuers of securities in these markets and industries. The Board also considered the substantial expertise of the Adviser in developing and applying proprietary quantitative models for managing the Fund. The Board considered the extensive experience and resources committed by the Adviser to risk management, including with respect to investment risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, counterparty risk and model risk. Further, the Board considered material enhancements made to the risk management processes and systems over the past year. The Trustees also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks. The Board also took into account the compensation paid to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Fund by senior management, as well as the Adviser's succession planning process.
The Board had previously reviewed the compliance programs of SSGA FM and various Affiliated Service Providers. Among other things, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity, the allocation of investment opportunities and the voting of proxies. The Board also considered the role of the Adviser in overseeing the Fund's securities lending activities.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the Adviser can be expected to continue to provide high quality investment management and related services for the Fund.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund's investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark and universe of comparable mutual funds for various time periods ended December 31, 2023. For purposes of these comparisons the Independent Trustees relied extensively on the Performance Group, Performance Universe and Benchmark and the analyses of the related data provided by Broadridge. Among other information, the Board considered the following performance information in its evaluation of the Fund:
State Street International Stock Selection Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's performance was below the medians of its Performance Group and Performance Universe for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund's performance was above the Benchmark for the 3-year period and was below the
25
Table of Contents
SSGA FUNDS
STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (continued)
August 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Benchmark for the 1-, 5- and 10-year periods.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund is being appropriately monitored and/or addressed by management.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed the contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by the Fund and actual fees paid by the Fund, net of waivers. As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund's management fee and total expense ratio, including the portion attributable to administrative services provided by SSGA FM (both before and after giving effect to any expense caps), as compared to its Expense Group and Expense Universe, as constructed by Broadridge, and the related Broadridge analysis for the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser to the fees charged and services provided to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional accounts. In addition, the Board considered the willingness of the Adviser to provide undertakings from time to time to waive fees or pay expenses of the Fund to limit the total expenses borne by shareholders of the Fund. Among other information, the Board considered the following expense information in its evaluation of the Fund:
State Street International Stock Selection Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's actual management fee was below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Fund's total expenses were below the medians of its Expense Group and Expense Universe.
On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the fees and the expense ratio of the Fund compare favorably to the fees and expenses of the Expense Group and Expense Universe and are reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates in providing investment advisory and other services to the Fund and to all funds within the fund complex. The Board considered other direct and indirect benefits received by the Adviser and Affiliated Service Providers in connection with their relationships with the Fund, together with the profitability of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to their services to the Fund and/or fund complex. The Board also considered the various risks borne by SSGA FM and State Street in connection with their various roles in servicing the Trust, including reputational and entrepreneurial risks.
The Board concluded that the profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Fund, and the profitability range of each of the Affiliated Service Providers with respect to its services to the Fund, were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the fund complex, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the fund complex increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund or the fund complex taken as a whole. The Board concluded that, in light of the current size of the Fund and the fund complex, the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Fund and the fund complex over various time periods, and the comparative management fee and expense ratio of the Fund during these periods, it does not appear that the Adviser or its affiliates has realized benefits from economies of scale in managing the assets of the Fund to such an extent that previously agreed advisory fees should be reduced or that breakpoints in such fees should be implemented for the Fund at this time.
Conclusions
In reaching its decision to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as being controlling, but based its recommendation on each of the factors it considered. Each Trustee may have contributed different weight to the various factors. Based upon the materials reviewed, the representations made and the considerations described above, and as part of its deliberations, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Adviser possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement.
Further, based upon its review of the Advisory Agreement, the materials provided, and the considerations described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that (1) the terms of the Advisory Agreement are reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, and (2) the rates
