Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of

SSGA Active Trust

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance With Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF and SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF (the “Funds”) complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) as of April 30, 2019. Management is responsible for the Funds’ compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Funds’ compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Funds’ compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of April 30, 2019 and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from December 31, 2018 (the date of our last examination) through April 30, 2019:

 

  •  

Confirmation of all securities in book entry form held by the Depository Trust Company, Federal Reserve Bank and International Depositories;

 

  •  

Confirmation of all securities hypothecated, pledged, placed in escrow or out for transfer with brokers, pledgees or transfer agents;

 

  •  

Reconciliation of all securities between the books and records of the Funds and the Custodian;

 

  •  

Review of the reconciliation procedures performed by the Custodian at an omnibus level between the Depository Trust Company, Federal Reserve Bank and International Depositories and the books and records of the Custodian; and

 

  •  

Agreement of one security purchase and one security sale, for each of the Funds, since our last report from the books and records of the Funds to purchase and sales reports from the Funds’ administrator.

We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Funds’ compliance with specified requirements.
