SPDR SSGA MULTI-ASSET REAL RETURN ETF —

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 

The following performance chart of the Fund’s total return at net asset value, the total return based on market price and its benchmark index is provided for comparative purposes only and represents the periods noted. The Fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The market price used to calculate the market return is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until one day after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (4/25/12, 4/26/12, respectively), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV. Market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included market returns would be lower.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not reflect deductions for fees or expenses. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions.

Performance quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be higher or lower than that quoted. Visit www.spdrs.com for most recent month-end performance. The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of Fund shares. The total expense ratio for SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF as stated in the Fees and Expenses table of the prospectus dated October 31, 2015 (as supplemented October 31, 2015) is 0.70%.

SPDR DOUBLELINE TOTAL RETURN TACTICAL ETF — PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 

The following performance chart of the Fund’s total return at net asset value, the total return based on market price and its benchmark index is provided for comparative purposes only and represents the periods noted. The Fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The market price used to calculate the market return is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until one day after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (2/23/15, 2/24/15, respectively), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV. Market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included market returns would be lower.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not reflect deductions for fees or expenses. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions.

Performance quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be higher or lower than that quoted. Visit www.spdrs.com for most recent month-end performance. The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of Fund shares. The total expense ratio for SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF as stated in the Fees and Expenses table of the prospectus dated October 31, 2015 (as supplemented October 31, 2015) is 0.65%.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 

The following performance chart of the Fund’s total return at net asset value, the total return based on market price and its benchmark index is provided for comparative purposes only and represents the periods noted. The Fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The market price used to calculate the market return is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until one day after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (1/8/14, 1/9/14, respectively), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV. Market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included market returns would be lower.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not reflect deductions for fees or expenses. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions.

Performance quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be higher or lower than that quoted. Visit www.spdrs.com for most recent month-end performance. The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of Fund shares. The total expense ratio for SPDR MFS Systematic Core Equity ETF as stated in the Fees and Expenses table of the prospectus dated October 31, 2015 (as supplemented October 31, 2015) is 0.60%.

(1) The per share amounts and percentages include each Fund’s proportionate share of income and expenses of their respective Portfolio.
(2) Per share numbers have been calculated using average shares outstanding, which more appropriately presents the per share data for the period.
(3) Amounts shown in this caption for a share outstanding may not accord with the change in aggregate gains and losses in securities for the fiscal period because of the timing of sales and repurchases of Fund shares in relation to fluctuating market values for the Fund.
(4) Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of shares at net asset value on the first day and a sale at net asset value on the last day of each period reported. Distributions are assumed, for the purpose of this calculation, to be reinvested at net asset value per share on the respective payment dates of each Fund. Total return for periods of less than one year is not annualized. Broker commission charges are not included in this calculation.
(5) Annualized.
(6) Portfolio turnover rate is from each Fund’s respective Portfolio.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1. Organization

SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment management company that was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 30, 2011.

As of December 31, 2015, the Trust offered ten (10) portfolios, each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The financial statements herein relate to the following ten (10) Funds: SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF, SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF, SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF, SPDR Blackstone/GSO Senior Loan ETF, SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF, SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF, SPDR MFS Systematic Core Equity ETF, SPDR MFS Systematic Growth Equity ETF, SPDR MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF and SPDR SSGA Risk Aware ETF, each a “diversified” investment company, with the exception of SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF and SPDR SSGA Risk Aware ETF which are each a “non-diversified” investment company.

The SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF commenced operations on February 23, 2015 and the SPDR SSGA Risk Aware ETF commenced operations on September 9, 2014.

Each Fund is part of a master-feeder structure and each Fund invests substantially all of its assets in interests of its respective master portfolio; the SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return Portfolio, SSGA Income Allocation Portfolio, SSGA Global Allocation Portfolio, Blackstone/GSO Senior Loan Portfolio, SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond Portfolio, State Street DoubleLine Total Return Tactical Portfolio, SSGA MFS Systematic Core Equity Portfolio, SSGA MFS Systematic Growth Equity Portfolio, SSGA MFS Systematic Value Equity Portfolio and State Street Risk Aware Portfolio (each a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each Portfolio is a series of a separately registered investment company called SSGA Master Trust (“Master Trust”). The investment objective and policies of each Fund are substantially similar to those of its respective Portfolio. The value of each Fund’s investment in its respective Portfolio reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of that Portfolio (100.00% for SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF, 100.00% for SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF, 100.00% for SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF, 100.00% for SPDR Blackstone/GSO Senior Loan ETF, 99.99% for SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF, 100.00% for SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF, 99.98% for SPDR MFS Systematic Core Equity ETF, 99.99% for SPDR MFS Systematic Growth Equity ETF, 99.96% for SPDR MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF and 99.95% for SPDR SSGA Risk Aware ETF at December 31, 2015). The performance of each Fund is directly affected by the performance of its respective Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolios, including their Schedules of Investments, are attached to this report and should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements.

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 could 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 in the United States of America (“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 in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services Investment Companies (“ASC 946”).

Security Valuation

Each Fund records its investments in its respective Portfolio at fair value each business day. The valuation policy of the Portfolios are discussed in Note 2 of the Portfolios’ Notes to Financial Statements, which are attached to this report.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

December 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

The Portfolio’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Portfolio’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Portfolio’s listing exchange 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 the Portfolio are valued pursuant to policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Portfolio. The Board has responsibility for determining the fair value of investments. The summary of the inputs used for each Portfolio, as of December 31, 2015, in valuing each Portfolio’s securities carried at fair value are discussed in Note 2 of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are attached to this report.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Net investment income consists of a Fund’s pro-rata share of the net investment income of its respective Portfolio less expenses of the Fund. Realized gains and losses from security transactions consist of a Fund’s pro-rata share of its respective Portfolio’s realized gains and losses.

Expenses

Advisory fees and other expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund. Trustees’ fees and 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. Each Fund is allocated a pro-rata share of the expense of its respective Portfolio.

Equalization

The Funds follow the accounting practice known as “Equalization” by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring Fund shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of distributable net investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or reacquisition of Fund shares. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Federal Income Tax

The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify for and elect treatment as “regulated investment companies” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By so qualifying and electing, each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of their net investment income and capital gains, if any, the Funds will not be subject to federal excise tax. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These book-tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments for tax equalization, in-kind transactions for financial statement purposes and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Additionally, based on the SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”) understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which the applicable Funds invest, the Funds will provide for foreign taxes and, where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.

SSGA FM has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of June 30, 2015 and have determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ Financial Statements.

The Funds’ federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Funds’ major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Funds recognized interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.

* The Advisory fee is reduced by the proportional amount of the advisory fee, as well as for SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF, SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF and SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF acquired fund fees and expenses of each Fund’s respective Portfolio. For the period ended December 31, 2015, the net annualized advisory fee was 0.07%, 0.14%, (0.16)%, 0.40%, 0.00%, 0.25%, 0.30%, 0.30%, 0.30% and 0.25% for the SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF, SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF, SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF, SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF, SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF, SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF, SPDR MFS Systematic Core Equity ETF, SPDR MFS Systematic Growth Equity ETF, SPDR MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF and SPDR SSGA Risk Aware ETF, respectively. For the SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF the reduction resulted in a fee reimbursement which is identified on the Statements of Operations.
** SSGA FM has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses, until October 31, 2016, so that the net annual fund operating expenses of the Fund will be limited to 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets before application of any extraordinary expenses or acquired fund fees and expenses. The contractual fee waiver and/or reimbursement does not provide for the recoupment by the Adviser of any fees the Adviser previously waived. The Adviser may continue the waiver and/or reimbursement from year to year, but there is no guarantee that the Adviser will do so and after October 31, 2016, the waiver and/or reimbursement may be cancelled or modified at any time. This waiver and/or reimbursement may not be terminated during the relevant period except with the approval of the Board.

The Adviser pays all operating expenses of each Fund other than management fee, distribution fee pursuant to each Fund’s Distribution and Service Plan, if any, brokerage, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including any Trustees’ counsel fees), litigation expenses, and other extraordinary expenses.

SSGA FM serves as Administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as sub-administrator. State Street, an affiliate of the Adviser, receives fees for its services as Custodian, Sub-administrator and Transfer Agent from the Adviser.

State Street Global Markets, LLC (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the distributor of the shares of each Fund. Pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, each Fund is authorized to pay an amount of up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets for certain distribution-related activities. However, the Board has determined that no such payments will be made through at least October 31, 2016 and therefore no such payments have been made.

The Distributor has established an assisted trading program to aid Authorized Participants in certain creation and redemption activity for which the Distributor receives commissions from Authorized Participants. In addition, the Distributor receives compensation from State Street associated with on-line creation and redemption activity of Authorized Participants.

Trustees’ Fees

The Trust, SSGA Master Trust, SPDR Series Trust and SPDR Index Shares Funds (together with the Trust, the “Trusts”) pay, in the aggregate, each Independent Trustee an annual fee of $200,000 plus $10,000 per in-person meeting attended and $1,250 for each telephonic or video conference meeting attended. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional annual fee of $50,000 and the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual fee of $20,000. The Trust also reimburses each Independent Trustee for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him/her in connection with attending such meetings and in connection with attending industry seminars and meetings. Trustee fees are allocated among the Trusts and each of their respective series in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the relative net assets of the series.

 

4. Shareholder Transactions

Shares are issued and redeemed by a Fund only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 50,000 shares. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a separate cash payment, which is a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the net asset value per unit of the Fund on the transaction date. Transaction fees ranging from $50 to $1,500 per Creation Unit for each Fund, regardless of the number of Creation Units that are created or redeemed on the same day, are charged to those persons creating or redeeming Creation Units. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions. Transaction fees are received by the Trust and/or Custodian and are used to defray related expenses. The Custodian also receives amounts earned on cash collateral provided by Authorized Participants pending delivery of missing deposit securities. The amounts are included in Other Capital on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

 

5. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date 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.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include creation and redemption fees or brokerage charges and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, trustee fees, and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2015 and held for the six months ended December 31, 2015.

Based on actual fund return

The first table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. 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 in the first table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

Based on Hypothetical 5% return

The second table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The Funds charge transaction fees at scheduled amounts ranging from $50 to $1,500 per Creation Unit to those persons creating or redeeming Creation Units. If you buy or sell the Funds’ shares in the secondary market, you will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as creation and redemption fees, or brokerage charges. Therefore, the second table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

SSGA MASTER TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1. Organization

SSGA Master Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company that was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 30, 2011.

As of December 31, 2015, the Trust offered ten (10) portfolios, each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust (each a “Portfolio” and collectively; the “Portfolios”). The financial statements herein relate to the following ten (10) Portfolios: SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return Portfolio, SSGA Income Allocation Portfolio, SSGA Global Allocation Portfolio, Blackstone/GSO Senior Loan Portfolio, SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond Portfolio, State Street DoubleLine Total Return Tactical Portfolio, SSGA MFS Systematic Core Equity Portfolio, SSGA MFS Systematic Growth Equity Portfolio, SSGA MFS Systematic Value Equity Portfolio and State Street Risk Aware Portfolio, which are each a “diversified” investment company, with the exception of SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond Portfolio and the State Street Risk Aware Portfolio, which are each a “non-diversified” investment company. Each portfolio serves as a master fund in a master feeder structure.

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 could involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Portfolio is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services Investment Companies (“ASC 946”).

Security Valuation

Each Portfolio’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Portfolio’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Portfolio’s listing exchange 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 Portfolio are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Portfolios. The Board has responsibility for determining the fair value of investments. The members of the Committee are approved by the Board.

Valuation techniques used to value each Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:

 

  Equity investments (including 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.

 

  Debt obligations (both governmental and non- governmental) purchased with greater than sixty days to maturity and not investment grade are valued at last reported evaluated bid prices obtained from independent pricing services or brokers. In determining the value of a fixed income investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments, and calculated yield measures.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

  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 per share or unit. Money market funds generally value portfolio investments using the amortized cost method as set forth in Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and in accordance with the Portfolios procedures to stabilize net asset value.

 

  Senior or other loans are valued at evaluated bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Senior loans and other loans in which the Committee determines that there are no reliable valuations available from pricing services or brokers will be initially valued at cost and adjusted for amortization of principal until remeasurement is warranted due to a credit or economic event or other factors effecting the loan.

In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that application of these valuation methods results in a price for an investment which 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 valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the Portfolio’s net asset value and the prices used by the Portfolios’ underlying indices. Various inputs are used in determining the value of Portfolios’ investments. These inputs are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes.

The Portfolios value their assets and liabilities at fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes 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 identical assets or liabilities;

 

  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 following table summarizes the inputs used in valuing the Portfolios’ investments as of December 31, 2015:

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income and capital gains distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are received as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by a Portfolio many include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Certain Portfolios invest in Real Estate Investments Trusts (“REITS”). REITS determine the tax character of their distributions annually and may characterize a portion of their distributions as income, return of capital or capital gain. The Portfolios’ policy is to record all REIT distributions initially as dividend income and re-designate to return of capital or capital gains distributions at year end based on information provided by the REIT and management’s estimates of such re-designations for which actual information has not yet been reported. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments are determined using the identified cost method.

Expenses

Advisory fees and other expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Portfolio, are applied to that Portfolio. Trustees’ fees and other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Portfolio 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 Portfolios. In addition to the these direct expenses, the Portfolios bear certain expenses indirectly, such as fees of underlying Portfolios in which the Portfolio invest that are reflected in the reported value of such Portfolios.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounting records of the Portfolios 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 deemed appropriate pursuant to the valuation policy and procedures at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of the transactions. The Portfolios do not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange from the effect of fluctuations in the market price of securities. Such fluctuations are reflected by the Portfolios as a component of realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments for financial reporting purposes.

Federal Income Tax

The Portfolios are not required to pay federal income taxes on their net investment income and net capital gains because they are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. All interest, gains and losses of the Portfolios are deemed to have been “passed through” to the Portfolios’ partners in proportion to their holdings in the respective Portfolio, regardless of whether such items have been distributed by the Portfolios. Each partner is responsible for tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes. The Portfolios have reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of June 30, 2015, and have determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ Financial Statements. The Portfolios’ federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Portfolios’ major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Portfolios’ recognized interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.

The Trusts also reimburse each Independent Trustee for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him/her in connection with attending such meetings and in connection with attending industry seminars and meetings. Trustee fees are allocated among the Trusts and each of their respective series in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the relative net assets of the series.

7. Line of Credit

Effective October 15, 2015, Blackstone/GSO Senior Loan Portfolio and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) share in a $360 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks. Blackstone/GSO Senior Loan Portfolio has exclusive access to $100 million of the total credit facility. The Participants may borrow for the purpose of meeting shareholder redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is calculated based on the unused portion of the shared credit line. Blackstone/GSO Senior Loan Portfolio pays the commitment fee for its exclusive portion of the credit line. Commitment fees on the shared credit line are allocated among each of the Participants based on relative net assets. Commitment fees are ordinary fund operating expenses and are paid by the Adviser. A Participant incurs and pays the interest expense related to its borrowing. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. Blackstone/GSO Senior Loan Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 25 percent of its assets or a lower amount as set forth in the Portfolio’s prospectus. Blackstone/GSO Senior Loan Portfolio had no outstanding loans during the six months ended December 31, 2015.

Although the Portfolios do not intend to concentrate their investments in any particular industry, if a Portfolio concentrates in a single industry, group of industries or type of instrument, it may be more susceptible to any single economic, market, political or regulatory occurrence affecting that industry, group of industries or type of instrument. The Trust invests in various investments which are exposed to risks, such as market risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could be material.

SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return Portfolio, SSGA Income Allocation Portfolio and SSGA Global Allocation Portfolio invest their assets in other exchange-traded products (referred to as “underlying funds). The underlying funds, in turn, may engage in a number of investment techniques and practices, which involve certain risks. Certain underlying funds invest their portfolios in debt securities. Investments in debt securities may increase or decrease as a result of the following: market fluctuations, increases in interest rates, inability of issuers to repay principal and interest or illiquidity in the debt securities markets; the risk of low rates of return due to reinvestment of securities during periods of falling interest rates or repayment by issuers with higher coupon or interest rates; and/or the risk of low income due to falling interest rates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Certain underlying funds invest their portfolios in foreign securities including emerging markets. Foreign investments involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Investments in securities issued by entities based outside the United States pose distinct risks since political and economic events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. Investment in emerging markets involves greater risk of loss than investments in a developed market. This is due to, among other things, greater market volatility, lower trading volume, political and economic instability, high levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluation, greater risk of market shut down, and more governmental limitations on foreign investment policy than those typically found in a developed market. Certain underlying funds invest their portfolios in commodities markets. Commodities are subject to substantial price fluctuations over short periods of time and may be affected by unpredictable economic, political and environmental events. Factors that may significantly affect the prices of commodities include, but are not limited to: global supply and demand; domestic and international interest rates and investors’ expectations of interest rates; inflation rates and investors’ expectations of inflation rates; the investment and trading activities of commodity futures contracts; political, economic, or financial events, both globally and regionally.

The Blackstone/GSO Senior Loan Portfolio and DoubleLine Total Return Tactical Portfolio invest their assets in senior loans. Investments in senior loans are subject to credit risks which may include delay in receiving payments of principal and interest paid by the borrower to the agent or by the agent to the lender or offsets against payments received from the borrower.

SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond Portfolio invests primarily in investment grade debt securities with varying maturities. Investments in debt securities may increase or decrease as a result of the following: market fluctuations, increases in interest rates, inability of issuers to repay principal and interest or illiquidity in the debt securities markets; the risk of low rates of return due to reinvestment of securities during periods of falling interest rates or repayment by issuers with higher coupon or interest rates; and/or the risk of low income due to falling interest rates.

SSGA MFS Systematic Core Equity Portfolio, SSGA MFS Systematic Growth Equity Portfolio, SSGA MFS Systematic Value Equity Portfolio and State Street Risk Aware Portfolio invest in various investments which are exposed to risks, such as market risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could be material.

An investment in a Portfolio involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in security prices. The values of securities could decline generally or could underperform other investments. Different types of securities tend to go through cycles of out-performance and underperformance in comparison to the general securities market. In addition, securities may decline in value due to factors affecting a specific issuer, market or securities markets generally.

 

9. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolios through the date 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.

ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETFs net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.

Because the SPDR SSGA Active Asset Allocation ETFs are actively managed, they are therefore subject to the risk that the investments selected by SSGA may cause the ETFs to underperform relative to their benchmarks or other funds with similar investment objectives. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.

Foreign investments involve greater risks than U.S. investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations, all of which may be magnified in emerging markets.

Bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, but contain interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall); issuer default risk; issuer credit risk; liquidity risk; and inflation risk. These effects are usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.

Investing in commodities entail significant risk and is not appropriate for all investors. Commodities investing entail significant risk as commodity prices can be extremely volatile due to wide range of factors. A few such factors include overall market movements, real or perceived inflationary trends, commodity index volatility, international, economic and political changes, change in interest and currency exchange rates.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index performance does not reflect charges and expenses associated with the fund or brokerage commissions associated with buying and selling a fund. Index performance is not meant to represent that of any particular fund.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 

The following performance chart of the Fund’s total return at net asset value, the total return based on market price and its benchmark index is provided for comparative purposes only and represents the periods noted. The Fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The market price used to calculate the market return is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until the day after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (1/20/15, 1/21/15, respectively), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV. Market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included market returns would be lower.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not reflect deductions for fees or expenses. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions.

Performance quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be higher or lower than that quoted. The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of Fund shares. The total expense ratio for State Street Clarion Global Infrastructure & MLP Portfolio as stated in the Fees and Expenses table of the prospectus dated October 31, 2015 is 0.00%.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1. Organization

SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company that was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 30, 2011.

As of December 31, 2015, the Trust offered eleven (11) funds, 10 feeders and 1 master portfolio. The financial statements herein relate to the State Street Clarion Global Infrastructure & MLP Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a separate non-diversified series of the Active Trust. The Portfolio operates as the master portfolio in a master feeder structure.

The investment objective of the Portfolio is to provide long-term total return. The Portfolio invests in infrastructure companies located worldwide including infrastructure companies organized as Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) serves as the investment adviser and CBRE Clarion Securities LLC serves as the subadviser.

The Portfolio commenced operations on January 21, 2015, after it acquired the net assets of the CBRE Clarion Global Listed Infrastructure Fund, LP (the “Partnership”), in exchange for Fund shares. The Partnership commenced operations on March 1, 2012. The acquisition of net assets of the Partnership was accomplished by an in-kind transfer of all of the Partnership’s net assets amounting to $11,569,962 and a cash transfer of $196,000 by the Partnership in exchange for 1,176,596 shares of Portfolio’s Feeder Fund namely State Street Clarion Global Infrastructure & MLP Fund. The Partnership elected to make a deemed sale election pursuant to the subscription agreement. SSGA FM contributed initial capital of $4,000,100 to the Portfolio’s feeder Fund in exchange for Feeder shares. The feeder fund substantially invested all of its assets into the MLP Portfolio as part of commencement of its operations. Immediately prior to the acquisition, the Portfolio did not have any assets or liabilities nor operations or investment activities.

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 could 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) which 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 Portfolio is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC 946”).

Security Valuation

The Portfolio’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Portfolio’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Portfolio’s listing exchange 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 the Portfolio are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Portfolio. The Board has responsibility for determining the fair value of investments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

December 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:

 

  Equity investments (including 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 per share or unit. Money market funds generally value portfolio investments using the amortized cost method as set forth in Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and in accordance with Portfolio procedures to stabilize net asset value.

In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment, fair value will be determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the Portfolio’s net asset value and the prices used by the Portfolio’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Portfolio’s performance and the performance of the Portfolio’s underlying index. Various inputs are used in determining the value of Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The Portfolio values its assets and liabilities at fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes 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 identical assets or liabilities;

 

  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.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period. The Portfolio had no transfers between levels for the period ended December 31, 2015.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition

Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Interest income, if any, is recorded daily on an accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions received, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend dates, net of any foreign taxes withheld at the source. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the portfolio may include a return of capital that is estimated by SSGA FM. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified as capital gains. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined using identified cost method.

Distributions received from the Portfolio’s investments in master limited partnerships or limited liability companies that have economic characteristics substantially similar to master limited partnerships (collectively, “MLPs”) generally are

State Street Clarion Global Infrastructure & MLP Portfolio

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

December 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

comprised of ordinary income and return of capital from the MLPs. The Portfolio allocates distributions between income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on information provided by each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on actual allocations received from MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of the Portfolio. For the period ended December 31, 2015, the Portfolio estimated the allocation of investment income and return of capital for the distributions received from MLPs within the Statement of Operations.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounting records of the Portfolio 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 deemed appropriate pursuant to the valuation policy at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of transactions. The Portfolio does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are reflected by the Portfolio as a component of realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments for financial reporting purposes.

Foreign Taxes

The Portfolio may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, capital gains on investments, or certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Portfolio invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Portfolio and are reflected in its statements of operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, and foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign taxes on foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories. Foreign taxes payable or deferred and foreign taxes recoverable as of December 31, 2015, if any, are disclosed in the Portfolio’s statements of assets and liabilities.

Expenses

Advisory fees and other expenses, which are directly identifiable to the Portfolio, are applied to the Portfolio. Trustees’ fees and other expenses which cannot be attributed directly to the Portfolio 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 Portfolio.

Federal Income Tax

The Portfolio has qualified and intends to continue to qualify for and elect treatment as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By so qualifying and electing, the Portfolio 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. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of net investment income and capital gains, if any, the Portfolio will not be subject to federal excise tax. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

 

Paid-In Capital   Accumulated Gain (Loss)     Undistributed Net
Investment Income (Loss)
 
$—   $ 6,299      $ (6,299

These book-tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currencies, return of capital securities and losses deferred due to wash sales.

For the period ended June 30, 2015, there were no significant differences between the book basis and the tax basis character of distributions to shareholders.

The tax character of distributions paid during the period ended June 30, 2015 was as follows:

 

Ordinary Income   Long-Term Capital Gains     Tax Return of Capital  
$180,817   $      $   

For the period ended June 30, 2015, there were no significant differences between the book basis and the tax basis of components of net assets other than differences in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the value of investments attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the deferral of post-October losses.

As of June 30, 2015, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

 

Undistributed
Ordinary Income
  Undistributed
Long-Term Capital Gains
    Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
 
$439,427   $      $ (468,443

As a limited partner in the MLPs, the Portfolio reports its allocable share of the MLP’s taxable income in computing its own taxable income. The distributions paid by the MLPs generally do not constitute income for tax purposes. Each MLP may allocate losses to the Portfolio which are generally not deductible in computing the Portfolio’s taxable income until such time as that particular MLP either generates income to offset those losses or the Portfolio disposes of units in that MLP. This may result in the Portfolio’s taxable income being substantially different than its book income in any given year. As a result, the Portfolio may have insufficient taxable income to support its distributions paid resulting in a return of capital to shareholders. A return of capital distribution is generally not treated as taxable income to shareholders and instead reduces a shareholder’s basis in their shares of the Portfolio.

SSGA FM has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions it will take on its income tax returns and has concluded that as of June 30, 2015, no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolio’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.

Dividends and Distributions

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are generally declared and paid at least annually, unless otherwise required to be compliant with applicable tax regulations. The Portfolio currently intends to pay distributions out of its distributable cash flow, which generally consists of cash and paid-in-kind distributions from MLPs or their affiliates, dividends from common stocks and income from other investments held by the Portfolio less current or accrued operating expenses of the Portfolio, including taxes on Portfolio taxable income. Dividends and distributions paid by the Portfolio are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

 

3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Related Party Transactions

Advisory Fee

The Trust, on behalf of the Portfolio has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSGA FM. For its advisory services to the Portfolio, the Adviser is paid a management fee by the Portfolio at an annual rate of 0.30% of its average daily net assets. The Adviser is contractually obligated until April 30, 2016 to waive its management fee and/or to reimburse the Portfolio for expenses to the extent that total expenses (exclusive of non-recurring account fees, extraordinary expenses, acquired fund fees, and distribution, shareholder servicing, and sub-transfer agency expenses) exceed 1.05% of average daily net assets on an annual basis. This waiver and/or reimbursement may not be terminated during the relevant period except with the approval of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees.

The Adviser pays all operating expenses of the Portfolio other than management fee, distribution fee pursuant to the Portfolio’s Distribution and Service Plan, if any, brokerage, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including any Trustees’ counsel fees), litigation expenses, and other extraordinary expenses.

SSGA FM serves as Administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as Sub-Administrator. State Street, an affiliate of the Adviser, receives fees for its services as Custodian, Sub-Administrator and Transfer Agent from the Adviser. CBRE Clarion Securities LLC serves as the subadviser for the Portfolio.

Trustees’ Fees

The Trust, SSGA Master Trust, SPDR Series Trust and SPDR Index Shares Funds (together with the Trust, the “Trusts”) pay, in the aggregate, each Independent Trustee an annual fee of $185,000 (effective July 1, 2015, the annual fee is $200,000) plus $10,000 per in-person meeting attended and $1,250 for each telephonic or video conference meeting attended. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional annual fee of $50,000 and the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual fee of $20,000. The Trust also reimburses each Independent Trustee for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him/her in connection with attending such meetings and in connection with attending industry seminars and meetings. Independent Trustee fees are allocated among the Trusts and each of their respective series in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the relative net assets of the series.

From time to time, the Portfolio may have a concentration of one or more accounts constituting a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities by holders of such accounts could have material impacts on the Portfolio. As of December 31, 2015, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Portfolio had accounts representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Portfolio’s total outstanding shares. The number of such accounts, based on accounts that represent more than 5% of an individual class of shares, and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such holdings were as follows:

7. Concentration of Risk

The Portfolio concentrates its investments in the infrastructure sector. Because the Portfolio concentrates its investments in infrastructure-related securities, the Portfolio has greater exposure to adverse economic, regulatory, political, legal, and other conditions or events affecting the issuers of such securities. Additionally, infrastructure-related entities may be subject to regulation by various governmental authorities and may also be affected by governmental regulation of rates charged to customers, service interruption and or legal challenges due to environmental, operational or other conditions or events and the imposition of special tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies and accounting standards.

 

8. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through the date 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.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for administrative services and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees, among others. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.

Actual Expenses

The first table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. 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 in the first table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The Portfolio charges transaction fees at scheduled amounts ranging from $50 to $1,350 per Creation Unit to those persons creating or redeeming Creation Units. If you buy or sell the Portfolio’s shares in the secondary market, you will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as creation and redemption fees, or brokerage charges. Therefore, the second table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized net expense ratio multiplied by the average account value of the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six month period, and then divided by 366.
