(b) Per share numbers have been calculated using average shares outstanding, which more appropriately presents the per share data for the period.
(c) 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.
(d) Amount is less than $0.005 per share.
(e) 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 distribution. Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. Broker commission charges are not included in this calculation.
(f) Annualized.
(g) Portfolio turnover rate is from the Fund’s respective Portfolio.
(h) Not annualized.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1. Organization

SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.

As of December 31, 2017, the Trust consists of twelve (12) series, each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with no par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following Funds (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):

 

SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF

SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF

SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF

SPDR 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

 

Each Fund is classified as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act, with the exception of SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF and SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF, which are each a non-diversified investment company.

Each Fund is part of a master-feeder structure and each Fund invests substantially all of its assets in its respective master portfolio as shown below (each a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each Portfolio is a separate series of SSGA Master Trust (“Master Trust”). The performance of each Fund is directly affected by the performance of its respective Portfolios. 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 would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Security Valuation

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

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 each 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 Portfolios are valued pursuant to 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 Portfolios. The Board has responsibility for determining the fair value of investments. The summary of the inputs used for each Portfolio, as of December 31, 2017, in valuing each Portfolio’s securities carried at fair value are discussed in Note 2 of the Portfolios’ Notes to Financial Statements, which are attached to this report.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition

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

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.

Each Fund is allocated a pro-rata share of the expense of its respective Portfolio.

Foreign Taxes

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser or “SSGA FM”) understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of December 31, 2017, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Equalization

The Funds in the Trust 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.

The following Funds utilized equalization during the period ended December 31, 2017:

 

SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF

SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF

SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF

SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF

SPDR Ultra Short Term Bond ETF

SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF

SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF   Quarterly
SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF   Quarterly

The amount and character of income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with applicable tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.

 

3. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates

Advisory Fee

Each Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSGA FM. As compensation for services rendered, facilities furnished, and expenses borne by the Adviser, each Fund pays the Adviser a fee accrued daily and paid monthly, based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the following table:

 

     Annual Rate*  

SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF

     0.70

SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF

     0.70  

SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF

     0.35  

SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF

SPDR MFS Systematic Core Equity ETF

     0.60  

SPDR MFS Systematic Growth Equity ETF

     0.60  

SPDR MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF

* The Advisory fee is reduced by the proportional amount of the advisory fee, of each Fund’s respective Portfolio, 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. For the period ended December 31, 2017, the net annualized advisory fee was 0.02%, 0.17%, (0.14)%, 0.40%, 0.20%, 0.25%, 0.30%, 0.30% and 0.30% 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 and SPDR MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF, respectively. For the SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF and SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF the reduction resulted in a fee reimbursement which is identified on the Statements of Operations.
** The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses, until October 31, 2018, 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, 2018, 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, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, the fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including any Trustees’ counsel fees), litigation expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses and other expenses that are non-recurring in the ordinary course of business.

Administrator, Custodian, Sub-Administrator and Transfer Agent Fees

SSGA FM serves as administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent. State Street receives fees for its services as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent from the Adviser.

Distributor

State Street Global Advisor Funds Distributors, LLC (“SSGA FD” or the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the Distributor of the Trust.

Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Funds may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street Corp., affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Funds owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the period ended December 31, 2017 are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.

 

4. Trustees’ Fees

The fees and expenses of the Trust’s trustees, who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), are paid directly by the Funds. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.

 

5. Shareholder Transactions

Each Fund issues and redeems its shares, at net asset value by each fund, only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund may consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash, except for certain funds that invest in TBAs or mortgage-backed securities. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to the Trust and/or Custodian, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Other Capital” on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

 

6. Income Tax Information

The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent they distribute their taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.

The Funds file federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. As of June 30, 2017, SSGA FM has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) and or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017.

The table below illustrates your Fund’s cost in two ways:

Based on actual fund return — This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from each Fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.

Based on hypothetical 5% return — This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(a) Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio multiplied by the average account value of the period, multiplied by 184, then divided by 365. Includes amounts waived, reimbursed and/or other credits. Without the waiver reimbursement and/or other credits, expenses would have been higher.
(b) Because the Fund invests all of their assets in their respective Master Portfolios, the expense example reflects the net expense of both the Funds and the Master Portfolios in which they invest.

SSGA Master Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1. Organization

SSGA Master Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

As of December 31, 2017, the Trust consists of nine (9) series, each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The financial statements herein relate to the following Portfolios (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “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

 

Each Portfolio is classified as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act, with the exception of SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond Portfolio and State Street DoubleLine Total Return Tactical 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 would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

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

Security Valuation

Each Portfolio’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of each Portfolio are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Portfolios. The Board has responsibility for determining the fair value of investments.

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

 

  Equity investments (including preferred stocks and registered investment companies that are exchange-traded funds) traded on a recognized securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last published sale price or at fair value.

 

  Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”) per share or unit.

 

81


Table of Contents

SSGA Master Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

December 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

 

  Debt obligations (including short term investments and convertible debt securities) are valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers or are generally valued at the last reported evaluated prices.

 

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

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

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Portfolio’s NAV and the prices used by the Portfolios’ underlying benchmarks.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolios’ investments.

The Portfolios value their assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

  Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;

 

  Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

 

  Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The value of each Portfolio’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2017 is disclosed in each Portfolio’s respective Schedule of Investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

The Portfolios had no material transfers between levels for the period ended December 31, 2017.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition

Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments and foreign exchange transactions, if any, are determined using the identified cost method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock are recorded as dividend income at fair value.

Distributions received by the Portfolios may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains.

Certain Portfolios invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). REITs determine the tax character of their distributions annually and may characterize a portion of their distributions as a return of capital or capital gain. The Portfolios’ policy is to record all REIT distributions initially as dividend income and re-designate the prior calendar

year’s to return of capital or capital gains distributions at year end based on information provided by the REIT and/or SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) estimates of such re-designations for which actual information has not yet been reported.

All of the net investment income and realized gains and losses from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata among the partners in the Portfolio on a daily basis based on each partner’s daily ownership percentage.

Expenses

Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Portfolio, are applied to that Portfolio within the Trust. 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 within the Trust.

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 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.

 

3. Securities and Other Investments

Loan Agreements

The Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio and State Street DoubleLine Total Return Tactical Portfolio invest in Senior Loans. Senior Loans consist generally of obligations of companies and other entities (collectively, “borrowers”) incurred for the purpose of reorganizing the assets and liabilities of a borrower; acquiring another company; taking over control of a company (leveraged buyout); temporary refinancing; or financing internal growth or other general business purposes. Senior Loans are often obligations of borrowers who have incurred a significant percentage of debt compared to their total assets and thus are highly leveraged. The Portfolios do not treat the banks originating or acting as agents for the lenders, or granting or acting as intermediary in participation interests, in loans held by the Portfolios as the issuers of such loans.

 

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates

Advisory Fee

Each Portfolio has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSGA FM. For its advisory services to the Portfolios, facilities furnished, and expenses borne by the Adviser, each Portfolio pays the Adviser a fee accrued daily and paid monthly, based on a percentage of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets as shown in the following table:

7. Income Tax Information

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 its tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.

The Portfolios file federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. As of June 30, 2017, 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.

As of December 31, 2017, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments and other financial instruments based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

     Tax
Cost
     Gross
Unrealized

8. Line of Credit

Certain Portfolios and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in a $500 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio has exclusive access to $200 million of the total credit facility. This agreement expires in October 2018 unless extended or renewed.

The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is calculated based on the unused portion of the shared credit line. Commitment fees are allocated among each of the Participants based on relative net assets. Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio pays the commitment fee for its exclusive portion of the credit line. Commitment fees are ordinary fund operation 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% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate.

Prior to October 12, 2017, the Portfolios and other affiliated funds participated in a $360 million revolving credit facility and Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio had exclusive access to $100 million of the total credit facility. The Portfolios had no outstanding loans as of December 31, 2017.

9. Risks

Concentration Risk

As a result of the Portfolios’ ability to invest a large percentage of their assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Portfolios’ investments more than if the Portfolios were more broadly diversified.

Foreign and Emerging Markets Risks

Investing in foreign markets involve 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 Portfolios’ invest. Foreign markets may be less liquid than investments in the U.S. and may be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations. To the extent that a Portfolio invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be even more pronounced.

Market and Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Portfolios trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the general economic conditions and fluctuations of the market (market risk). Additionally, a Portfolio may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

 

10. New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.

 

11. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolios through the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and to the extent applicable, and other Portfolio expenses. 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, 2017 to December 31, 2017.

The table below illustrates your Portfolio’s cost in two ways:

Based on actual fund return — This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from each Portfolio’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Portfolio. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.

Based on hypothetical 5% return — This section is intended to help you compare your Portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Portfolio had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Portfolio’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your Portfolio’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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.

SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1. Organization

SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.

As of December 31, 2017, the Trust consists of twelve (12) series, each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at no par value. The financial statements herein relate only to the SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF (the “Fund”).

The Fund is classified as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.

The Fund was formed on April 13, 2016 and commenced operations on April 14, 2016.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

Security Valuation

The Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good 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 determining the fair value of investments.

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

 

  Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”) per share or unit.

 

  Government and municipal fixed income securities are generally valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers. Certain government inflation-indexed securities may require a calculated fair valuation as the cumulative inflation is contained within the price provided by the pricing service or broker. For these securities, the inflation component of the price is “cleaned” from the pricing service or broker price utilizing the published inflation factors in order to ensure proper accrual of income.

 

  Debt obligations (including short term investments) are valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers or are generally valued at the last reported evaluated bid prices.

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

Table of Contents

SSGA Active Trust

SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

December 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying benchmarks. 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 December 31, 2017 is disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

The Fund had no material transfers between levels for the period ended December 31, 2017.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition

Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments and foreign exchange transactions, if any, are determined using the identified cost method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.

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 Fund within the Trust.

Distributions

Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. 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.

Equalization

The Fund follows the accounting practice known as “Equalization” by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring Fund shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of distributable net investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed

net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or reacquisition of Fund shares. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

 

3. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates

Advisory Fee

The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”). For its advisory services to the Fund, facilities furnished, and expenses borne by the Adviser, the Fund pays the Adviser a fee accrued daily and paid monthly, at the rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

SSGA FM has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses, until October 31, 2018, so that the net annual fund operating expenses of the Fund will be limited to 0.65% 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, 2018, 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. For period ended December 31, 2017, fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Advisor, pursuant to the Agreement, were $16,787.

The Adviser pays all expenses of the Fund other than the management fee, if any, brokerage, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including any Trustee’s counsel fees), litigation expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

DoubleLine Capital LP receives fees for its services as the sub-advisor to the Fund from the Adviser.

Administrator, Sub-Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent Fees

SSGA FM serves as administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent. State Street receives fees for its services as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent from the Adviser.

Distributor Fees

State Street Global Advisor Funds Distributors, LLC (“SSGA FD” or the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the Distributor of the Trust.

Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street Corporation, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Fund owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the period ended December 31, 2017 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

Due to Custodian

In certain circumstances, the Fund may have a cash overdraft with the custodian. The Due to Custodian amount, if any, reflects cash overdrawn with State Street, as custodian, who is an affiliate of the Funds. As of December 31, 2017, the Fund had a cash overdraft related to monthly distributions.

 

4. Trustees’ Fees

The fees and expenses of the Trust’s trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), are paid directly by the Fund. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.

5. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding short term investments) for the period ended December 31, 2017, were as follows:

 

    Purchases     Sales  

SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF

  $ 25,556,562     $ 9,825,820  

 

6. Shareholder Transactions

The Fund issues and redeems its shares, at NAV, only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of the Fund may consist of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to the Trust and/or custodian, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Other Capital” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

 

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. As of June 30, 2017, 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.

As of December 31, 2017, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments and other financial instruments based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

    Tax
Cost
    Gross
Unrealized
Appreciation

SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF

  $ 41,970,274     $ 216,001     $ 193,198     $ 22,803  

 

8. Line of Credit

The Fund and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in a $500 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires in October 2018 unless extended or renewed.

The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is calculated based on the unused portion of the shared credit line. Commitment fees are allocated among each of the Participants based on relative net assets. Commitment fees are ordinary fund operating expenses paid by the Adviser. A Participant incurs and pays the interest expense related to its borrowing. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate. Prior to October 12, 2017, the Fund and other affiliated Funds participated in a $360 million revolving credit facility. The Fund had no outstanding loans as of ended December 31, 2017.

9. Risks

Concentration of 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 were more broadly diversified.

Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk

Investing in foreign markets involves risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of government regulation, economic, political and social instability in the countries in which the 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.

Market and Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the general economic conditions and fluctuations of the market (market risk). Additionally, the Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

 

10. New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.

 

11. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017.

The table below illustrates your Fund’s cost in two ways:

Based on actual fund return — This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.

Based on hypothetical 5% return — This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1. Organization

SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.

As of December 31, 2017, the Trust consists of twelve (12) series, each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at no par value. The financial statements herein relate only to the SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF (the “Fund”).

The Fund is classified as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.

The Fund was formed on April 13, 2016 and commenced operations on April 14, 2016.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

Security Valuation

The Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good 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 determining the fair value of investments.

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

 

  Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”) per share or unit.

 

  Government and municipal fixed income securities are generally valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers. Certain government inflation-indexed securities may require a calculated fair valuation as the cumulative inflation is contained within the price provided by the pricing service or broker. For these securities, the inflation component of the price is “cleaned” from the pricing service or broker price utilizing the published inflation factors in order to ensure proper accrual of income.

 

  Debt obligations (including short term investments) are valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers or are generally valued at the last reported evaluated bid prices.

 

 

Senior loans or other loans are valued at evaluated bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Senior loans and other loans for which the Committee determines that there are no reliable valuations available from

Table of Contents

SSGA Active Trust

SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

December 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

  pricing services or brokers will be initially valued at cost and adjusted for amortization of principal until remeasurement is warranted due to a credit or economic event or other factors affecting the loan.

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

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying benchmarks. 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 December 31, 2017 is disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

The Fund had no material transfers between levels for the period ended December 31, 2017.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition

Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments and foreign exchange transactions, if any, are determined using the identified cost method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.

Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income.

Expenses

Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Fund within the Trust.

Equalization

The Fund follows the accounting practice known as “Equalization” by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring Fund shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of distributable net investment income

Table of Contents

SSGA Active Trust

SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or reacquisition of Fund shares. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Distributions

Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually, unless additional distributions are required for compliance with applicable tax regulations. The amount and character of income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with applicable tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.

 

3. Securities and Other Investments

Loan Agreements

The Fund invests in Senior Loans. Senior Loans consist generally of obligations of companies and other entities (collectively, “borrowers”) incurred for the purpose of reorganizing the assets and liabilities of a borrower; acquiring another company; taking over control of a company (leveraged buyout); temporary refinancing; or financing internal growth or other general business purposes. Senior Loans are often obligations of borrowers who have incurred a significant percentage of debt compared to their total assets and thus are highly leveraged. The Fund does not treat the banks originating or acting as agents for the lenders, or granting or acting as intermediary in participation interests, in loans held by the Fund as the issuers of such loans.

 

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates

Advisory Fee

The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”). For its advisory services to the Fund, facilities furnished, and expenses borne by the Adviser, the Fund pays the Adviser a fee accrued daily and paid monthly, at the rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

SSGA FM has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses, until October 31, 2018, so that the net annual fund operating expenses of the Fund will be limited to 0.45% 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, 2018, 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.

For the period ended December 31, 2017, fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Advisor, pursuant to the Agreement, were $10,166.

The Adviser pays all expenses of the Fund other than the management fee, brokerage, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including any Trustee’s counsel fees), litigation expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

DoubleLine Capital LP receives fees for its services as the sub-advisor to the Fund from the Adviser.

Administrator, Sub-Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent Fees

SSGA FM serves as administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent. State Street receives fees for its services as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent from the Adviser.

Distributor

State Street Global Advisor Funds Distributors, LLC (“SSGA FD” or the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the Distributor of the Trust.

Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street Corporation, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Fund owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the period ended December 31, 2017 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

 

5. Trustees’ Fees

The fees and expenses of the Trust’s trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), are paid directly by the Fund. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.

 

6. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding short term investments) for the period ended December 31, 2017, were as follows:

 

     U.S. Government Obligations      Other Securities  
     Purchases      Sales      Purchases      Sales  

SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF

   $ 7,313,691      $ 497,615      $ 9,110,719      $ 5,761,471  

 

7. Shareholder Transactions

The Fund issues and redeems its shares, at NAV, only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of the Fund may consist of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash except for when the Fund may invest in TBAs or mortgage backed securities. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to the Trust and/or custodian, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Other Capital” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

 

8. Income Tax Information

The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code 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. As of June 30, 2017, 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.

 

As of December 31, 2017, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments and other financial instruments based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

    Tax
Cost
    Gross
Unrealized

9. Line of Credit

The Fund and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in a $500 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires in October 2018 unless extended or renewed.

The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is calculated based on the unused portion of the shared credit line. Commitment fees are allocated among each of the Participants based on relative net assets. Commitment fees are ordinary fund operating expenses paid by the Adviser. A Participant incurs and pays the interest expense related to its borrowing. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate. Prior to October 12, 2017, the Fund and other affiliated Funds participated in a $360 million revolving credit facility. The Fund had no outstanding loans as of December 31, 2017.

 

10. Risks

Concentration of 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 were more broadly diversified.

Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk

Investing in foreign markets involves risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of government regulation, economic, political and social instability in the countries in which the 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.

Market and Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the general economic conditions and fluctuations of the market (market risk). Additionally, the Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

 

11. New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.

 

12. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017.

The table below illustrates your Fund’s cost in two ways:

Based on actual fund return — This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.

Based on hypothetical 5% return — This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST

STATE STREET DISCIPLINED GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1. Organization

SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.

As of December 31, 2017, the Trust consists of twelve (12) series each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with no par value. The financial statements herein relate only to the following Portfolio (the “Portfolio”):

 

Portfolio   Commencement of  
Operations  
  Diversification  
Classification  

State Street Disciplined Global Equity Portfolio

  February 19, 2016   Diversified  

The 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 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 Portfolio is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

Security Valuation

The Portfolio’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The Board has responsibility for determining the fair value of investments.

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

 

  Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last published sale price or at fair value.

 

  Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”) per share or unit.

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

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments.

STATE STREET DISCIPLINED GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

December 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

The Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2017, is disclosed in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value 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, 2017.

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 daily on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any.

The Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s policy is to record all REIT distributions initially as dividend income and re-designate the prior calendar years to return of capital or capital gains distributions at year end based on information provided by the REIT.

Expenses

Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Portfolio, are applied to that Portfolio within the Trust. 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 Portfolio within the Trust.

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 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Portfolio and are reflected in the Statement of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of December 31, 2017, if any, are disclosed in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates

 

Advisory Fee

The Portfolio has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSGA FM. For its advisory services, the Portfolio pays the Adviser a fee accrued daily and paid monthly, at a rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive the entire amount of this fee until the later of April 30, 2019 or such time as the shares of the Portfolio cease to be the only investment security held by the State Street Disciplined Global Equity Fund (the “Feeder Fund”). The waiver may be terminated only by the Portfolio’s Board. The Adviser pays all expenses of the Portfolio other than the management fee, distribution fees pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan, if any, brokerage, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including any Trustee’s counsel fees), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. For the period ended December 31, 2017, fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser, pursuant to the agreement, were $6,217.

Administrator, Custodian, Sub-Administrator and Transfer Agent Fees

SSGA FM serves as administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent. State Street receives fees for its services as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent from the Adviser.

Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Portfolio 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 Portfolio owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the period ended December 31, 2017, are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

 

4. Trustees’ Fees

The fees and expenses of the Trust’s trustees, who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), are paid directly by the Portfolio. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.

5. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding short term investments) for the period ended December 31, 2017, were as follows:

 

     Purchases     Sales  

State Street Disciplined Global Equity Portfolio

  $ 1,210,891     $ 1,155,134  

 

6. Income Tax Information

The Portfolio 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 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. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.

The Portfolio 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. As of June 30, 2017, SSGA FM has analyzed the Portfolio’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.

As of December 31, 2017, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments and other financial instruments based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

    Tax
Cost
    Gross
Unrealized
Appreciation
    Gross

    Net Unrealized

(Depreciation)
 

State Street Disciplined Global Equity Portfolio

  $ 4,270,246     $ 762,152     $ 47,433     $ 714,719  

 

7. Line of Credit

The Portfolio and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in a $500 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. This agreement expires in October 2018 unless extended or renewed.

The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is calculated based on the unused portion of the shared credit line. Commitment fees are allocated among each of the Participants based on relative net assets. Commitment fees are ordinary fund operating expenses. A Participant incurs and pays the interest expense related to its borrowing. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate.

Prior to October 12, 2017, the Portfolio and other affiliated Funds participated in a $360 million revolving credit facility.

The Portfolio had no outstanding loans as of December 31, 2017.

 

8. Risks

Concentration Risk

As a result of the Portfolio’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 Portfolio’s investments more than if the Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be even more pronounced.

Market and Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Portfolio trades financial instruments and enters into transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the general economic conditions and fluctuations of the market (market risk). Additionally, the Portfolio may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

 

9. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and other Portfolio expenses. 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, 2017 to December 31, 2017.

The table below illustrates your Portfolio’s cost in two ways:

Based on actual fund return — This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Portfolio’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Portfolio. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.

Based on hypothetical 5% return — This section is intended to help you compare your Portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Portfolio had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Portfolio’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your Portfolio’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The Fund’s Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330. The information on the Form N-Q is available upon request, without charge, by calling 1-800-997-7327 (toll free) and on the Fund’s website at www.ssgafunds.com.

Approval of Advisory Agreement

At in-person meetings held prior to December 31, 2017, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) evaluated proposals to continue the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust and SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) with respect to the State Street Disciplined Global Equity Portfolio, an operational series of SSGA Active Trust (the “Fund”). The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), also met separately to consider the Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.

To evaluate the Agreement, the Board requested, and SSGA FM, the Trust’s investment adviser and administrator, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s sub-administrator, transfer agent and custodian (“State Street”) provided, such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary. In deciding whether to approve the Agreement, the Board considered various factors, including the (i) nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Fund under the Agreement, (ii) investment performance of the Fund, (iii) profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Trust, (iv) fees charged to comparable funds, (v) other benefits to the Adviser, and (vi) extent to which economies of scale would be shared as the Fund grows.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser. In doing so, the Trustees relied on their prior experience in overseeing the management of the Trust and materials provided prior to and at the meeting. The Board reviewed the Agreement and the Adviser’s responsibilities for managing investment operations of the Fund in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management and regulatory compliance of the Fund. The Board also considered the portfolio management resources, structures and practices of the Adviser, including those associated with monitoring and securing the Fund’s compliance with its investment objectives and policies and with applicable laws and regulations. The Board also considered information about the Adviser’s best execution procedures and overall investment management business, noting that the Adviser serves a wide range of clients across a broad spectrum of asset classes. The Board looked at the Adviser’s general knowledge of the investment management business and that of its affiliates which make up State Street Global Advisors, through which the Adviser shares all of its seniorpersonnel. The Board specifically considered the Adviser’s experience in active management and managing master-feeder structures.

Investment Performance

The Board then reviewed the Fund’s performance. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark (gross of expenses) and a group of comparable funds (net of expenses). The Board considered that the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-year period. In addition, the Board

considered that although the Fund underperformed its benchmark index since inception, its performance was not significantly below the benchmark index and also noted the Fund’s performance information was limited due to the short time period since the Fund’s inception. The Trustees also considered management’s explanation of those factors that contributed to the Fund’s underperformance and steps being taken in response to such factors.

Profits Realized by Adviser

The Board considered the profitability of the advisory arrangement with the Fund to the Adviser, including data on the Fund’s historical profitability to the Adviser. The Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive all of its fees related to its management of the Fund and, therefore, did not realize any profits from its advisory arrangement with the Fund. The Board further noted that an affiliated fund that is a series of a separate trust and also advised by the Adviser invests substantially all of its assets in the Fund and that the Adviser receives management fees from that fund.

Fees Charged to Comparable Funds

The Board evaluated the Fund’s unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar funds — i.e., global large-cap mutual funds. The Board reviewed the universe of similar mutual funds for the Fund based upon data independently obtained from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (formerly Lipper Analytical Services) and related comparative information for similar mutual funds. The Board also reviewed the fee structure of the Fund in connection with the master-feeder structure.

Other Benefits

The Board also considered whether the Adviser or its affiliates benefited in other ways from its relationship with the Trust, noting that the Adviser does not maintain soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Trust’s brokerage transactions.

Economies of Scale

The Board reviewed information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result as the Fund’s assets grow in size. The Board noted that the Agreement did not provide for breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee rate as assets of the Fund increase. However, the Board further noted the Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration for the Fund by fixing a relatively low advisory fee, effectively sharing the benefits of lower fees with the Fund from inception. The Adviser also asserted that one of the benefits of the unitary fee was to provide an unvarying expense structure, which could be lost or diluted with the addition of breakpoints. The Board noted that it intends to continue to monitor fees as the Fund grows in size and assess whether fee breakpoints may be warranted.

Conclusion

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