Notes to Performance Summary (Unaudited)
The following performance chart of the Portfolio’s total return at net asset value, the total return based on market price and its benchmark index is provided for comparative purposes only and represents the periods noted. The Portfolio’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the Portfolio and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Portfolio. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Portfolio at NAV. Market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included market returns would be lower.
An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not reflect deductions for fees or expenses. In comparison, the Portfolio’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions.
The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets.

STATE STREET DEFENSIVE GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The State Street Defensive Global Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to provide competitive long-term returns while maintaining low long-term volatility relative to the broad global equity market. The Portfolio’s benchmark is the MSCI World Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Portfolio was 8.38%, and the Index was 6.33%. The Portfolio and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Portfolio’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Portfolio, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.
The Portfolio’s defensive positioning, sector allocation and stock selection were primary drivers of performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. The market performance was weak during the first half of the Reporting Period and the Portfolio’s defensive posture delivered a substantial reduction in downside participation. A resumption of global risk sentiments over the second half of the Reporting Period drove strong global equity market gains and the Portfolio had a challenging relative performance. However, over the full Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s defensive approach proved effective in delivering outperformance versus the market with a substantial reduction in realized portfolio risk. The Portfolio’s overweight of defensive sectors – utilities, consumer staples and telecommunication contributed to relative performance. The underweight to poor performing Energy sector also added to relative performance. However, the Portfolio’s underweight of the best performing Information Technology sector was the most significant detractor from the Portfolios relative performance. Stock selection performance was weak over the Reporting Period. The poor performance of valuation based factors was the key challenge.
The Portfolio did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.
On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Portfolio’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Waste Management, Motorola Solutions and Merck. The top negative contributors to the Portfolio’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Danske Bank, Taisei Corp. and Cigna.
The views expressed above reflect those of the Portfolio’s portfolio manager only through the Reporting Period, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Adviser as a whole. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and the Adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any fund.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
STATE STREET DEFENSIVE GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2019

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 June 30, 2019, the Trust consists of fourteen (14) 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 Defensive 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 overseeing the determination of 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.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
STATE STREET DEFENSIVE GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2019

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments.
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 June 30, 2019 is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments and foreign exchange transactions, if any, are determined using the identified cost method.
Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized daily on the ex-dividend date or when the information becomes available, 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 June 30, 2019, 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 its management fee and/or reimburse expenses in such an amount equal to the total annual Portfolio operating expenses until the later of April 30, 2020 or such time as the shares of the Portfolio cease to be the only investment security held by the State Street Defensive Global Equity Fund. The waiver may be terminated prior to April 30, 2020 only by the Board. Additionally, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses in an amount equal to any acquired fund fees and expenses (excluding holdings in acquired funds for cash management purposes, if any) for the Portfolio until October 31, 2019. This waiver and/or reimbursement does not provide for the recoupment by the Adviser of any amounts waived or reimbursed. This waiver and/or reimbursement may not be terminated prior to October 31, 2019 except with the approval of the Board. The Adviser pays all expenses of the Portfolio other than the management fee, brokerage, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including any Trustee’s counsel fees), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. The Adviser has agreed to pay all costs associated with the organization of the Trust and the Portfolio. For the period ended June 30, 2019, fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser, pursuant to the agreement, were $10,081.
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 June 30, 2019, 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 June 30, 2019, were as follows:
  Purchases   Sales
State Street Defensive Global Equity Portfolio

$2,613,446   $5,111,777
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 (the “IRS”) for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. SSGA FM has analyzed the 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.
Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book- tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on NAVs or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, wash sales, distribution re-designations, and passive foreign investment companies.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended June 30, 2019, was as follows:
  Ordinary
Income
  Long-Term
Capital Gains
  Total
State Street Defensive Global Equity Portfolio

$165,202   $186,039   $351,241

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 2019 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.
The Portfolio had no outstanding loans as of June 30, 2019.
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.    New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released its Final Rule on Disclosure Update and Simplification (the “Final Rule”) which is intended to simplify an issuer’s disclosure compliance efforts by removing redundant or outdated disclosure requirements without significantly altering the mix of information provided to investors. The Portfolio has adopted the Final Rule for the current period with the most notable impacts being that the Portfolio is no longer required to present the components of distributable earnings on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or the sources of distributions to shareholders and the amount of undistributed net investment income on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
For the period ended June 30, 2018, distributions to shareholders and undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income were as follows:
  Net
Investment
Income
  Net Realized
Capital
Gains
  Total
Distributions

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of State Street Defensive Global Equity Portfolio
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of State Street Defensive Global Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) (one of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”)), including the schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2019, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from February 19, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2016, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio (one of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust) at June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from February 19, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

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 January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
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 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.

Approval of Advisory Agreement
At in-person meetings held prior to June 30, 2019, 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 Defensive Global Equity Portfolio, a 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 senior personnel. 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). Among other information, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-year period, but outperformed the median for the 2-year period. The Board also considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the 1-year period, but underperformed the benchmark since the Fund’s inception.
In those instances where the Board observed underperformance, the Trustees noted the performance was not significantly below the median and benchmark, respectively, and considered management’s explanation of those factors that contributed to such 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, including the Independent Trustees, with their independent legal counsel, had the opportunity to discuss, with representatives of the Adviser and State Street, methodologies used in computing costs that formed the bases of profitability calculations. 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 Board also noted that the Adviser is currently waiving the entire advisory fee, so the Adviser was not receiving any economies of scale. 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 factors 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) because no fees were paid to the Adviser, there were currently no economies of scale to share.

Notes to Performance Summaries (Unaudited)
The performance chart of a Fund’s total return at net asset value (“NAV”), the total return based on market price and its benchmark index is provided for comparative purposes only and represents the periods noted. A Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of a Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of a Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of a Fund. The market price used to calculate the market return is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the exchange on which the shares of a Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that a Fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in a Fund at NAV. Market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included market returns would be lower.
An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not reflect deductions for fees or expenses. In comparison, a Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Index returns reflect all items of income, gain and loss and the reinvestment of dividends and other income.
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government Inflation-linked Bond Index includes publicly issued, U.S. Treasury inflation protected securities that have at least 1 year remaining to maturity on index rebalancing date, with an issue size equal to or in excess of $500 million. Bonds must be capital-indexed and linked to an eligible inflation index. The securities must be denominated in U.S. Dollars and pay coupon and principal in U.S. Dollars. The notional coupon of a bond must be fixed or zero. Bonds must settle on or before the index rebalancing date.
The DBIQ Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Index Excess Return employs a rule based approach when it rolls from one futures contract to another for each commodity in the index. DBLCI Diversified Index represents 14 commodities drawn from the Energy, Precious Metals, Industrial Metals and Agriculture sectors.
The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the large and mid-cap equity market performance of developed markets.
The Bloomberg Barclays US Long Government/Credit Index measures the investment return of all medium and larger public issues of U.S. Treasury, agency, investment-grade corporate, and investment-grade international dollar-denominated bonds with maturities longer than 10 years. The average maturity is approximately 20 years.
The MSCI ACWI IMI Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the combined equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. The Index covers approximately 99% of the global equity markets.
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index provides a measure of the performance of the U.S. dollar denominated investment grade bond market, which includes investment grade (must be Baa3/BBB- or higher using the middle rating of Moody’s Investor Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch Inc.) government bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, mortgage pass through securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and asset backed securities that are publicly for sale in the United States.
The Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury Bellwether 3 Month Index is a benchmark tracking the performance and attributes of the on-the-run U.S. Treasury that reflects the most recently issued three month security.
The S&P 500® Index is composed of five hundred (500) selected stocks, all of which are listed on national stock exchanges and spans over 25 separate industry groups.
The Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.
The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values.

SPDR SSGA MULTI-ASSET REAL RETURN ETF
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve real return consisting of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund’s primary benchmark is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 2.71%, and the Index was 4.88%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.
The allocations to commodities, global natural resource equities, and global infrastructure equities were the primary drivers of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. Commodities and global natural resource equities were plagued by global growth concerns, low price inflation and lack of progress in a US-China trade agreement. Brent crude oil rose to a four year high in October 2018, before collapsing along with its West Texas Intermediate (WTI) counterpart by close to 40% by the end of 2018. Both oils rebounded by over 20% in the first half of 2019 as US sanctions on Iran and Venezuela along with production cuts from OPEC and a select group of non-OPEC oil producers reduced global inventories in the face of healthy demand. Industrial metals retreated on fears of a steeper than expected slowdown in global growth, while agricultural products suffered from abundant supplies and escalating trade tensions between the US and China. The ramifications were significant for global natural resource equities, especially for the companies in the energy and metal and mining industries. The energy equities have historically been correlated with movement in the crude oils, but this past year demonstrated a significant departure to the downside from that historical relationship. The metals and miners experienced a reprieve in the first quarter of 2019 amid stimulus measures from China and positive indications that the trade conflict was moving toward resolution, but that proved fleeting as neither lived up to expectations. Global infrastructure equities benefited from the continued rally in global equities and the decline in interest rates over the past year. The defensive nature of the securities within the group provided refuge for investors that sought more income-oriented stocks. The lack of an uptick in global inflationary pressures continued to provide a headwind for real assets as core inflation readings across developed markets remained below 2% and in the US the Federal Reserves’ preferred gauge, the personal consumption expenditures price index (PCE), dipped to 1.5%.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the reporting period.
On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis were the S&P Global Infrastructure ETF (GII), SPDR Dow Jones REIT ETF (RWR), and SPDR Bloomberg Barclays TIPS ETF (IPE). The lowest contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis were the Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (PDBC), SPDR S&P Global Natural Resources ETF (GNR), and the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Equipment Services ETF (XES).
The views expressed above reflect those of the Fund’s portfolio manager only through the Reporting Period, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Adviser as a whole. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and the Adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any fund.

SPDR SSGA INCOME ALLOCATION ETF
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide total return by focusing on investments in income and yield-generating assets. The Fund’s primary benchmark is the MSCI World Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 7.93%, and the Index was 6.33%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.
Investments in global fixed income asset classes, dividend-focused equity instruments and other high yielding asset classes such as REITs, bank loans and preferred stocks were primary drivers of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. Allocations made to global fixed income added value to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index as declining interest rates and tighter credit spreads helped bond markets produce generous gains. The shift lower in interest rates occurred in response to both heightened equity market volatility in the later part of 2018 and also in reaction to dovish central bank guidance which pushed interest rates lower in 2019. A declining interest rate environment has also generally been favorable for other income producing assets such as high dividend equities and during the Reporting Period the dividend equity exposures held by the Fund generally outperformed broader baskets of equities as represented by the Index. Some of the other income generating asset classes held by the Fund detracted from performance relative to the Index. Examples include exposure to REITs, bank loans and preferred stocks. The Fund maintained exposure to both equity REITs as well as mortgage REITs. The equity REIT exposure targeted mid and small cap companies and generated negative total returns during the Reporting Period whereas mortgage REITs earned positive returns but did not keep pace with the performance of the Index. Both bank loans and preferred stocks also delivered positive total returns and exhibited less volatility than global stock markets, but they too fell short of the Index from a total return perspective.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.
On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were the SPDR Portfolio Long Term Treasury ETF, the SPDR S&P Dividend ETF and the SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Emerging Markets Local Bond ETF. The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were the Invesco KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT ETF, the SPDR MSCI Emerging Markets Strategic Factors ETF, and the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund.

SPDR SSGA GLOBAL ALLOCATION ETF
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation. The Fund’s primary benchmark is the MSCI ACWI IMI Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 4.37%, and the Index was 4.56%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.
Investments across multiple asset classes including large cap US equities, investment grade and high yield corporate bonds and US government fixed income were all primary drivers of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. Amidst an increase in global equity market volatility, US large cap stocks continued to deliver positive earnings growth and produced near double digit gains for investors. Allocations made to fixed income added value to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index as declining interest rates and tighter credit spreads helped bond markets produce generous gains. The shift lower in interest rates occurred in response to both heightened equity market volatility in the later part of 2018 and also in reaction to dovish central bank guidance which pushed interest rates lower in 2019. Returns were less constructive for smaller cap companies over the Reporting Period. Both US and non-US developed market small cap stocks produced negative returns and trailed the Index overall. Lastly, uncertainty in oil prices weighed negatively on broad based commodity and energy sensitive holdings in the Fund.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.
On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were the SPDR S&P500 ETF, the SPDR Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Bond ETF and the SPDR Portfolio Aggregate Bond ETF. The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were the SPDR Portfolio Small Cap ETF, the SPDR S&P International Small Cap ETF and the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund.

SPDR SSGA ULTRA SHORT TERM BOND ETF
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide current income consistent with preservation of capital and daily liquidity through short duration high quality investments. The Fund’s benchmark is the Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury Bellwether 3 Month Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 2.79%, and the Index was 2.33%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.
The yield advantage of the Fund plus the tightening of credit spreads in the investment grade corporate credit floating rate notes (“FRN”) and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) markets were the primary drivers of the Fund’s out-performance of the Index during the Reporting Period. During the Reporting Period, the shift in Fed’s policy was substantial, with two rate hikes in the second half of 2018 and balance sheet normalization in full effect into the end of 2018. This tightening of Fed policy and the escalation of a trade war during the Reporting Period led to a widening of FRN and ABS spreads into year-end 2018. This widening of spreads produced an opportunity to increase the Fund’s allocation to BBB-rated FRNs, which occurred in 2019. The Fed “pivoted” to a more accommodative policy in 2019 by announcing a curtailment of its balance sheet normalization program and reducing its median projection of the 2019 Fed Funds rate (from 2.90% in December 2018 to 2.40% in June of 2019). This Fed “pivot” to a more accommodative policy is the key driver to the overall tightening of FRN and ABS spreads observed during the Reporting Period. The Fund maintained a duration profile at the shorter end of its 0.25 to 0.75 range during the Reporting Period.
As of the June 30, 2019, the Fund’s asset allocation consisted of US Treasuries (5.5%), Credit-Financial (21.8%), Credit- Industrial (40.5%), Credit-Non Corp (2.0%), ABS (27.2%), CMBS (1.8%) and Cash (1.1%).
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.

SPDR MFS SYSTEMATIC CORE EQUITY FUND
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
Summary of Results
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2019, the SPDR MFS Systematic Core Equity Fund (“fund”) provided a total return of 10.11%. This compares with a return of 10.42% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index (S&P 500 Index).
Market Environment
Changes in market sentiment, driven largely by uncertainty over the outcome of trade negotiations between the US and China, contributed to periodic bouts of volatility during the reporting period. The global economy decelerated throughout the period, led by weakness in China and Europe.
The deteriorating global growth backdrop, along with declining inflationary pressures, prompted the US Federal Reserve to halt its tightening cycle in December and adopt a more dovish policy stance in 2019, which resulted in a sharp decline in long-term interest rates during the second half of the period, inverting portions of the Treasury yield curve. Consequently, markets anticipate several Fed rate cuts in the coming quarters.
Globally, central banks have tilted more dovish as well, with China lowering reserve requirements, the Bank of Canada and Bank of England holding rates steady and the European Central Bank extending a low-interest-rate refinancing facility for eurozone banks to encourage the continued flow of credit and to hold out the possibility of further lowering rates and resuming asset purchases.
Emerging markets experienced considerable volatility during the period as tighter global financial conditions exposed structural weakness in some countries. Those pressures were somewhat relieved toward the end of the period as the Fed became more dovish. Diminished hopes for a trade deal between the US and China weighed on sentiment at the end of the period. Idiosyncratic factors negatively impacted some emerging economies, such as Argentina and Turkey.
From a geopolitical perspective, a change in leadership in the United Kingdom, caused by a lack of consensus on the best path toward Brexit, a fractious Eurosceptic Italian coalition government and a weakening of Angela Merkel's grip on the German chancellorship were sources of uncertainty in Europe. In emerging markets, new Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro took office, with markets generally encouraged by his market-friendly agenda. In contrast, markets appeared to have been nervous about the less-market-friendly approach of Mexico's new president Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Contributors to Performance
Security selection in both the financials and consumer discretionary sectors contributed to performance relative to the S&P 500 Index. Even though the financials sector was a top performing sector, there were no individual stocks within this sector that were among the fund's largest relative contributors during the period. Within the consumer discretionary sector, overweighting quick service Mexican restaurant Chipotle Mexican Grill(b) aided relative returns.
Elsewhere, the fund's overweight positions in healthcare services company Express Scripts(b), internet security firm VeriSign(b), software giant Microsoft, pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly andMerck, food producer Tyson Foods, railroad and freight transportation services provider Union Pacific, cable services provider Comcast and integrated electric power company AES bolstered relative performance.
Detractors from Performance
Security selection within both the information technology and consumer staples sectors detracted from relative performance. Within the information technology sector, the fund's overweight positions in information technology company DXC Technology(b) and computer hard drive maker Western Digital(b) held back relative performance. The fund's holding of business analytics software services provider Tableau Software(b)(h) also weighed on relative returns. Within the consumer staples sector, overweighting shares of drug store operator Walgreens Boots Alliance and brewery company Molson Coors Brewing harmed relative results.
In other sectors, overweight positions in drugstore retailer CVS Health, independent oil refiner Valero Energy and global health services provider Cigna(b) detracted from relative performance. The timing of the fund's ownership in shares of social networking service provider Facebook and real estate investment trust Extra Space Storage(b) further weakened relative results.
(b) Security was not held in the fund at period end.

SPDR MFS SYSTEMATIC GROWTH EQUITY FUND
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
Summary of Results
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2019, the SPDR MFS Systematic Growth Equity Fund (“fund”) provided a total return of 6.47%. This compares with a return of 11.56% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index.
Market Environment
Changes in market sentiment, driven largely by uncertainty over the outcome of trade negotiations between the US and China, contributed to periodic bouts of volatility during the reporting period. The global economy decelerated throughout the period, led by weakness in China and Europe.

Detractors from Performance
Security selection in both the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors negatively impacted performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index during the reporting period. Within the consumer discretionary sector, the fund's overweight positions in online travel company Booking(h) and multinational retailer Best Buy hurt relative returns. Within the consumer staples sector, an overweight position in tobacco company Altria Group also weighed on relative performance.
A combination of stock selection and an overweight position in the health care sector dampened relative results, led by overweight positions in global healthcare services organization Cigna and drugstore retailer CVS Health.
Stock selection in the communication services sector further detracted from relative performance. Within this sector, an overweight position in video game maker Electronic Arts(h) and the timing of the fund's ownership in shares of social networking service provider Facebook also held back relative results.
Stocks in other sectors that detracted from relative performance included the fund's holdings of computer hard drive maker Western Digital(b)(h), an overweight position in polpropylene manufacturer Lyondellbasell Industries (Netherlands) and an underweight position in software giant Microsoft.
Contributors to Performance
Strong security selection in the industrials sector boosted relative performance over the reporting period. However, there were no individual stocks within this sector that were among the fund's largest relative contributors during the period.
Stocks in other sectors that contributed to relative performance included overweight positions in enterprise cloud solutions provider ServiceNow, business analytics software company Tableau Software(h), domain name registry services provider VeriSign, identity management services provider Okta, pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, health care services provider

SPDR MFS SYSTEMATIC VALUE EQUITY ETF FUND
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
Summary of Results
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2019, the SPDR MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF Portfolio ("fund") provided a total return of 3.69%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 8.46% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index.
Market Environment
Changes in market sentiment, driven largely by uncertainty over the outcome of trade negotiations between the US and China, contributed to periodic bouts of volatility during the reporting period. The global economy decelerated throughout the period, led by weakness in China and Europe.
The deteriorating global growth backdrop, along with declining inflationary pressures, prompted the US Federal Reserve to halt its tightening cycle in December and adopt a more dovish policy stance in 2019, which resulted in a sharp decline in long-term interest rates during the second half of the period, inverting portions of the Treasury yield curve. Consequently, markets anticipate several Fed rate cuts in the coming quarters.
Globally, central banks have tilted more dovish as well, with China lowering reserve requirements, the Bank of Canada and Bank of England holding rates steady and the European Central Bank extending a low-interest-rate refinancing facility for eurozone banks to encourage the continued flow of credit and to hold out the possibility of further lowering rates and resuming asset purchases.
Emerging markets experienced considerable volatility during the period as tighter global financial conditions exposed structural weakness in some countries. Those pressures were somewhat relieved toward the end of the period as the Fed became more dovish. Diminished hopes for a trade deal between the US and China weighed on sentiment at the end of the period. Idiosyncratic factors negatively impacted some emerging economies, such as Argentina and Turkey.
From a geopolitical perspective, a change in leadership in the United Kingdom, caused by a lack of consensus on the best path toward Brexit, a fractious Eurosceptic Italian coalition government and a weakening of Angela Merkel's grip on the German chancellorship were sources of uncertainty in Europe. In emerging markets, new Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro took office, with markets generally encouraged by his market-friendly agenda. In contrast, markets appeared to have been nervous about the less-market-friendly approach of Mexico's new president Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Detractors from Performance
Security selection in the health care, consumer staples and information technology sectors detracted from performance relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index. Within the health care sector, overweight positions in global pharmaceutical company Bristol Myers Squibb, drugstore retailer CVS Health and global health services provider Cigna held back relative returns. Within the consumer staples sector, an overweight position in drug store operator Walgreens Boots Alliance and not owning shares of household products maker Procter & Gamble hindered relative results. Within the information technology sector, overweight positions in information technology company DXC Technology(h) and computer hard drive maker Western Digital(h) also weighed on relative returns.
Individual stocks that held back relative returns included overweight positions in oil and gas exploration & production company Anadarko Petroleum(h), independent oil refiner Valero Energy and polpropylene manufacturer Lyondellbasell Industries.
Contributors to Performance
Security selection in both the financials and industrials sectors contributed to relative performance. Within the financials sector, an underweight position in diversified financial services firm Wells Fargo boosted relative returns.
Within the industrials sector, overweight positions in diesel engine maker Cummins Engine and railroad and freight transportation services provider Union Pacific also aided relative results.
A combination of an overweight position and stock selection in the utilities sector also helped in relative terms led by overweight positions in power generation company NRG Energy and integrated electric power company AES.

Additionally, not owning shares of oil field services company Schlumberger also aided relative returns.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2019

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 June 30, 2019, the Trust consists of fourteen (14) 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 series (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 SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond 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, which is a non-diversified investment company.
Prior to the close of business on May 7, 2018, each fund had been operating in a “master –feeder” arrangement, under which each Fund invested substantially all of its assets in a corresponding series of SSGA Master Trust (i.e., a “Portfolio/ Master fund”). Each Portfolio was a separate mutual fund that had identical investment objective, and substantially identical investment strategies, policies and risks as the respective Fund (i.e., a “feeder fund”). As a result of this arrangement, each Fund had an indirect interest in all of the securities owned by the corresponding Portfolio.
As of the close of business on May 7, 2018, the securities held by each Portfolio were transferred “in-kind” to their respective Feeder in a tax-free exchange of each Feeder’s interests as part of a complete liquidation of the corresponding Portfolio.
Effective May 8, 2018, each Fund pursues its investment objective through direct investment in securities of the same type that previously would have been owned by the corresponding Portfolio. The discontinuance of the master-feeder arrangement on each Fund had no impact on shareholder’s net asset value or the results of operations for each Fund.
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.
Security Valuation
Each Fund's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
58


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2019

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
•  Equity investments (including preferred stocks and registered investment companies that are exchange-traded funds) traded on a recognized securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last published sale price or at fair value.
•  Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”) per share or unit.
•  Government and municipal fixed income securities are generally valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers. Certain government inflation-indexed securities may require a calculated fair valuation as the cumulative inflation is contained within the price provided by the pricing service or broker. For these securities, the inflation component of the price is “cleaned” from the pricing service or broker price utilizing the published inflation factors in order to ensure proper accrual of income.
•  Debt obligations (including short-term investments and convertible debt securities) are valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers or are generally valued at the last reported evaluated prices.
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 Funds' investments.
The Funds value their assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
•  Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
•  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
The value of each Fund’s investments, according to the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2019, is disclosed in each Fund’s respective Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from security transactions, prior to May 7, 2018, consist of each Fund’s pro-rata share of its corresponding Portfolio’s realized gains and losses. Realized gains and losses from the sale and disposition of investments are determined using the identified cost method. For activity prior to May 7, 2018, net investment income consists of each Fund’s pro-rata share of the net investment income of its corresponding Portfolio less expenses of the Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2019

Subsequent to May 7, 2018, dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, or when the information becomes available, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Interest income is recorded 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, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value.
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 was allocated a pro rata share of the expenses of its corresponding Portfolio prior to May 7, 2018.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars using exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Foreign Taxes
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gain on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with SSGA FM’s understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of June 30, 2019, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Equalization
Certain 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 June 30, 2019:
SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF
SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF
SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF
SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF
SPDR MFS Systematic Core Equity ETF
SPDR MFS Systematic Growth Equity ETF
SPDR MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF
Distributions
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for all Funds, except for the SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond Fund ETF. The SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond Fund ETF declares and distributes distributions to shareholders monthly.

Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times to improve Index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Internal Revenue Code”). 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 (“Management/Advisory fee”) accrued daily and paid monthly, based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the following table:

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a 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.

7.    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. Each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.
The Funds file federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. SSGA FM has analyzed 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.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net asset values or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments for character of distributions, nontaxable dividend adjustments to income, in-kind transactions, partnership basis adjustments, paydown gains and losses and wash sale loss deferrals. In addition, certain Funds claimed a portion of the payments made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended June 30, 2019, was as follows:

8.    Securities Lending
Each Fund may lend securities to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The value of the collateral with respect to a loaned security may be temporarily more or less than the value of a security due to market fluctuations of securities values. With respect to each loan, if on any U.S. business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are subject to the loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral on the next business day.
The Funds will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. In addition, a Fund will bear the risk of loss of any cash collateral that it may invest. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as the lending agent. Additionally, a Fund will receive a fee from the borrower for non-cash collateral equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities.
The market value of securities on loan as of June 30, 2019, and the value of the invested cash collateral are disclosed in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral is not disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Funds, and the Funds do not have the ability to re-hypothecate those securities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations, represents the income earned

9.    Line of Credit
Certain Funds 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 2019 unless extended or renewed.
The SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF participates in the credit facility as of period ended June 30, 2019.
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.
The Fund had no outstanding loans as of June 30, 2019.
10.    Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Funds' 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 Funds' investments more than if the Funds were more broadly diversified.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2019

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 Funds 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 the Funds invest 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 Funds 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 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 August 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released its Final Rule on Disclosure Update and Simplification (the “Final Rule”) which is intended to simplify an issuer’s disclosure compliance efforts by removing redundant or outdated disclosure requirements without significantly altering the mix of information provided to investors. The Funds have adopted the Final Rule for the current period with the most notable impacts being that the Funds are no longer required to present components of distributable earnings on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or the sources of distributions to shareholders and the amount of undistributed net investment income on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
For the period ended June 30, 2018, distributions to shareholders and undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income were as follows:

  Net Realized

ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF, SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF, SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF, SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF, SPDR MFS Systematic Core Equity ETF, SPDR MFS Systematic Growth Equity ETF and SPDR MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF and the Board of Trustees of SSGA Active Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF, SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF, SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF, SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF, SPDR MFS Systematic Core Equity ETF, SPDR MFS Systematic Growth Equity ETF and SPDR MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) (seven of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”)), including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2019, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds (seven of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust) at June 30, 2019, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

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 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 January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
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 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.

Approval of Advisory Agreement
At in-person meetings held prior to June 30, 2019, 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 following series of SSGA Active Trust: SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF, SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF, SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF, SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF, SPDR MFS Systematic Core Equity ETF, SPDR MFS Systematic Growth Equity ETF and SPDR MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF (the “Funds”). 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 Funds under the Agreement, (ii) investment performance of the Funds, (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 Funds grow.
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 each of the Funds in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Board appreciated the nature of the Funds as exchange-traded funds and the experience and expertise of the Adviser with exchange-traded funds. The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management, oversight of sub-advisers and regulatory compliance of the Funds. The Board also considered the portfolio management resources, structures and practices of the Adviser, including those associated with monitoring and securing each 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 senior personnel. The Board considered that the Adviser and its affiliates constitute one of the world’s largest investment management enterprises for exchange-traded funds. The Board specifically considered the Adviser’s experience in active management, managing exchange-traded funds, and in overseeing third-party sub-advisers, as applicable.
Investment Performance
The Board then reviewed the Funds’ performance. The Board compared each Fund’s investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark (gross of expenses) and a group of comparable funds (net of expenses). Among other information, the Board considered the following performance information in its evaluation of the Funds:
70


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

SPDR SSGA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF.The Board considered that the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3- and 5-year and since inception periods.
SPDR SSGA Income Allocation ETF.The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3- and 5-year and since inception periods.
SPDR SSGA Global Allocation ETF. The Board considered that the Fund equaled the median of its Performance Group for the 1- and 5-year periods, but outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 2-, 3- and 4- year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3- and 5-year and since inception periods.
SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-year period, but underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the 1- and 3-year and since inception periods.
SPDR MFS Systematic Core Equity ETF. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the 1- and 3-year and since inception periods.
SPDR MFS Systematic Growth Equity ETF. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the most recent 1-year period, but underperformed its benchmark index for the 3-year and since inception periods.
SPDR MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF.The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 3-, and 4- year periods and equaled the median of its Performance Group for the 2- year period. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the 1- and 3-year and since inception periods.
In those instances where the Board observed underperformance, the Trustees considered management’s explanation of those factors that contributed to such 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 Funds to the Adviser, including data on the Funds’ historical profitability to the Adviser. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, with their independent legal counsel, had the opportunity to discuss, with representatives of the Adviser and State Street, methodologies used in computing costs that formed the bases of profitability calculations.
Fees Charged to Comparable Funds
The Board evaluated each Fund’s unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar funds – i.e., exchange-traded funds that are actively managed. The Board reviewed the universe of similar exchange-traded funds for each Fund based upon data independently obtained from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (formerly Lipper Analytical Services) and related comparative information for similar exchange-traded funds. In doing so, the Board used a fund by fund analysis of the data.
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
71


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

The Board reviewed information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result as each Fund’s assets grow in size. The Board noted that the Agreement did not provide for breakpoints in each Fund’s advisory fee rates as assets of a 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 Funds by fixing relatively low advisory fees, effectively sharing the benefits of lower fees with the Funds 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 Funds grow 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 each Fund. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Funds were appropriate; (b) the performance of each Fund had been satisfactory; (c) the Adviser’s unitary fee for each 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) the fees paid to the Adviser adequately shared the economies of scale with respect to the Funds by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trust.
Approval of Massachusetts Financial Services Company Sub-Advisory Agreement
At in-person meetings held prior to June 30, 2019, the Board also evaluated a proposal to continue the Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “MFS Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and Massachusetts Financial Services Company (“MFS”) with respect to the SPDR MFS Systematic Core Equity ETF, SPDR MFS Systematic Growth Equity ETF and SPDR MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF, each a series of the SSGA Active Trust (the “MFS Funds”). The Independent Trustees also met separately to consider the MFS Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the MFS Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board requested, and MFS and the Adviser provided, such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary. In deciding whether to approve the MFS Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, including the (i) nature, extent and quality of services provided by MFS with respect to the MFS Funds under the MFS Sub-Advisory Agreement and (ii) investment performance of the MFS Funds. The Board was informed of the portion of the current advisory fee that the Adviser would pay to MFS under the MFS Sub-Advisory Agreement and also considered that such fees would be paid directly by the Adviser and would not result in increased fees payable by the MFS Funds.
The Board considered the background and experience of MFS’s senior management and, in particular, MFS’s experience in investing in equity securities. The Board reviewed the MFS Funds’ performance, noting that the performance of the MFS Funds was satisfactory. The Board also considered the unitary fee paid to the Adviser by each MFS Fund and MFS’s fees paid by the Adviser. The Board also considered whether MFS benefited in other ways from its relationship with the SSGA Active Trust.
After weighing the foregoing factors as well as the relevant factors discussed in relation to the MFS Sub-Advisory Agreement between the SSGA Active Trust and the Adviser, 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 MFS Sub-Advisory Agreement for each MFS Fund. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature and extent of the services provided by MFS with respect to the MFS Funds were appropriate; (b) the performance of the MFS Funds had been satisfactory; (c) MFS’s fees for the MFS Funds and the unitary fee, considered in relation to the services provided, were fair and reasonable; (d) any additional potential benefits to MFS were not of a magnitude to materially affect the Board’s conclusions; and (e) the fees paid to MFS adequately shared the economies of scale with each applicable MFS Fund by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trust.

ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETF's 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.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2019

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 June 30, 2019, the Trust consists of fourteen (14) 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 series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF
SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF
Each Fund is classified as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.
The SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF and SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF were formed on April 2, 2019 and commenced operations on April 3, 2019.
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.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)

Security Valuation
Each Fund's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value each Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
•  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.
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund's NAV and the prices used by the Funds' underlying benchmarks. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments.
The Funds value their assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
13


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2019

•  Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
•  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
The value of each Fund’s investments, according to the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2019, is disclosed in each Fund’s respective Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments 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.
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.
Equalization
Certain 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 June 30, 2019:

Distributions
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF. The SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF declares and pays distributions to its shareholders monthly.
Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times to improve Index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Internal Revenue Code”). 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 Trust on behalf of 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 (“Management/Advisory 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 Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF

0.50%
SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF

0.70
The Advisory fee is reduced for SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF and SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF by any acquired fund fees and expenses attributable to the Funds' investments in other investment companies. For the period ended June 30, 2019, the net annualized advisory fee was 0.31%, and 0.49%, respectively. For the period ended June 30, 2019, the amounts waived were $3,172 and $3,996, respectively.
The Adviser pays all the operating expenses of each Fund other than the management fee, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Trust’s Independent Trustees (including any Trustees’ counsel fees), acquired fund fees and expenses, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

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 Advisors 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 Corporation, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Funds owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the period ended June 30, 2019 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.    Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions and short term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2019, were as follows:

6.    Shareholder Transactions
Each Fund issues and redeems its shares, at NAV, 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 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 Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
7.    Income Tax Information
The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. 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 (the “IRS”) for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. SSGA FM has analyzed each Fund's tax positions and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.

June 30, 2019

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net asset values or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments for character of distributions and wash sale loss deferrals.
The tax character of distributions paid during the period ended June 30, 2019, was as follows:

8.    Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Funds' 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 Funds' investments more than if the were more broadly diversified.
18


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2019

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 Funds 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 the Funds invest 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 Funds 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 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.
9.    Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF and SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF and the Board of Trustees of SSGA Active Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF and SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF (collectively, the “Funds”) (two of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”)), including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2019, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the period from April 2, 2019 (inception date) to June 30, 2019, the financial highlights for the period from April 3, 2019 (commencement of operations) to June 30, 2019 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds (two of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust) at June 30, 2019, the results of their operations and changes in net assets for the period from April 2, 2019 (inception date) to June 30, 2019 and their financial highlights for the period from April 3, 2019 (commencement of operations) to June 30, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
20


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

OTHER INFORMATION
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

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 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 January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
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.

The Funds’ schedules of investments are available upon request, without charge, by calling 1-866-787-2257 (toll free) and on the Funds’ website at www.spdrs.com.
Approval of Advisory Agreement
At in-person meetings held prior to June 30, 2019, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) evaluated proposals related to the initial approval of advisory arrangements for new series of the Trust, including proposals to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust and SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) with respect to the SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF and the SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF (each, a “New ETF” and collectively, the “New ETFs”), each of which commenced operations during the period covered by this Annual Report. 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 New ETFs under the Agreement, (ii) fees charged to comparable funds, (iii) other benefits to the Adviser, and (iv) extent to which economies of scale would be shared as the New ETFs grow.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be 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 anticipated responsibilities for
25


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

managing investment operations of each New ETF in accordance with each New ETF’s investment objective and policies, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Board appreciated the nature of each New ETF as an exchange-traded fund, and the experience and expertise of the Adviser with exchange-traded funds. The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management, and regulatory compliance of each New ETF. The Board also considered the portfolio management resources, structures and practices of the Adviser, including those associated with monitoring and securing each New ETF’s compliance with its investment objective 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 senior personnel. The Board considered that the Adviser and its affiliates constitute one of the world’s largest investment management enterprises for exchange-traded funds. The Board specifically considered the Adviser’s experience in active management, managing exchange-traded funds and in overseeing third-party sub-advisers.
Fees Charged to Comparable Funds
The Board evaluated each New ETF’s proposed unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar funds. The Board reviewed the universe of similar exchange-traded funds for each New ETF based upon data independently obtained from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (formerly, Lipper Analytical Services) and related comparative information for similar exchange-traded funds. The Board also reviewed the estimated expense ratio for each New ETF.
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 each New ETF’s assets grow in size. The Board noted that the Agreement does not provide for breakpoints in each New ETF’s advisory fee rate as assets of each New ETF increase. However, the Board further noted the Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration for each
26


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

New ETF by fixing a relatively low advisory fee, effectively sharing the benefits of lower fees with each New ETF from the time of its 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, because each New ETF is new, there are no economies of scale to share, but it intends to continue to monitor fees as each New ETF 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 each New ETF. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature and extent of the services expected to be provided by the Adviser with respect to each New ETF were appropriate; (b) the Adviser’s unitary fee for each New ETF, considered in relation to services expected to be provided and in relation to fees charged to comparable funds, was fair and reasonable; and (c) any additional potential benefits to the Adviser or its affiliates were not of a magnitude to materially affect the Board’s conclusions.

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

Notes to Performance Summaries (Unaudited)
The performance chart of a Fund’s total return at net asset value (“NAV”), the total return based on market price and its benchmark index is provided for comparative purposes only and represents the periods noted. A Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of a Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of a Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of a Fund. The market price used to calculate the market return is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the exchange on which the shares of a Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that a Fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in a Fund at NAV. Market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included market returns would be lower.
An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not reflect deductions for fees or expenses. In comparison, a Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Index returns reflect all items of income, gain and loss and the reinvestment of dividends and other income.
The JP Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index Broad Diversified is a market capitalization weighted index consisting of U.S. dollar denominated emerging market corporate bonds.

SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF
Management's Discussion Of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return from current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s benchmark is the JP Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index Broad Diversified (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2019, the total return for the Fund was 9.99%, and the total return for the Index was 10.21%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.
Performance benefited by the Fund shifting portfolio positioning during the 12-month period to longer duration, larger weighting in investment grade (IG) credits, and higher allocation to Latin American credits relative to the index. Higher allocation to Asian credits relative to the index detracted from performance. Over the 12-month period, long-end U.S. Treasury yields fell more than front-end yields and IG credits outperformed their high yield counterparts.
Emerging markets' sovereign and corporate external bonds posted positive performance for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2019 against a backdrop of wavering sentiment about US-China trade tensions, more dovish rhetoric from global central banks, and moderating global growth.
The Index's positive return for the 12-month period was driven by lower Treasury yields which offset spread performance, with the spread over U.S. Treasuries widening 8 bps to 333 bps.
Latin America was the best performing region across the corporate index, while the Middle East was the worst performing region.
The U.S. Treasury curve flattened over the 12-month period. 2 year U.S. Treasury yields fell 77 bps over the 12-month period to end at 1.75%, while 10 year U.S. Treasury yields fell 86 bps over the 12-month period to end at 2.01%.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.

SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize current income with a dollar-weighted average effective duration between one and three years. The Fund’s benchmark is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate 1-3 Year Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 4.18%, and the total return for the Index was 4.28%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.
Allocations to Emerging Market Fixed Income and Investment Grade Corporates were the largest positive contributors to performance. With respect to Emerging Market Fixed Income, our overweight to duration was a primary contributor to Fund performance. Investment Grade Corporates were the second best performing sector, despite having a shorter duration than the Index and decreasing our target allocation over the Reporting Period. The underperformance of the Fund over the Reporting Period relative to the Index was a result of allocation to shorter duration U.S. Treasuries during a period of falling yields. Additionally, the target allocation for U.S. Treasuries was decreased during the Reporting Period. As of June 30th 2019 the Fund’s largest sector allocation was Residential Mortgage Backed Securities – with a 30.90% Agency and 2.50% Non-Agency split. This represents a 2.50% larger combined allocation than when the Reporting Period began. Over the course of the Reporting Period the Agency composition of RMBS increased by 5.40% to 30.90% and Non-Agency composition increased by 1.10% to 2.50% of the Fund. The RMBS sector was unable to keep pace with the Index due to its shorter duration negative convexity during a period of a substantive fall in rates.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.

SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize total return. The Fund’s benchmark is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 6.53%, and the total return for the Index was 7.87%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.
The Fund underperformance can be attributed to its allocation to shorter duration U.S. Treasuries relative to the benchmark in a period of falling yields. Allocations to Emerging Market and Investment Grade Corporates were the best performing sectors of the Fund during the Reporting Period. With respect to Emerging Market exposure, the period between January and June exhibited significant spread tightening amidst a favorable fundamental and technical environment for the sector. In addition, Investment Grade Corporates experienced significant spread tightening during a period of falling U.S. Treasury yields. The target allocation for Emerging Market Fixed Income was increased during the Reporting Period and duration for the sector increased by 0.54 years to 4.62 years, which remains lower than that of the benchmark. Investment Grade Corporate target allocations remained unchanged and was the second best performing sector. The Residential Mortgage Backed Securities sector, which is the Fund’s largest allocation – comprised of 45.50% Agency and 4.30% Non-Agency targets – underperformed the overall Index. In aggregate, the Fund maintained a lower duration than that of the Index and during a period of falling U.S. Treasury yields created a difficult environment in which to outperform.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2019

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 June 30, 2019, the Trust consists of fourteen (14) 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 to the following series (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”):
SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF
SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF
SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF
Each Fund is classified as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act, with the exception of SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF, which is a non-diversified investment company.
Prior to the close of business on May 7, 2018, SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF had been operating in a “master-feeder” arrangement, under which the Fund invested substantially all of its assets in a corresponding series of SSGA Master Trust (i.e., a “Portfolio/ Master fund”). The State Street DoubleLine Total Return Tactical Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) was a separate mutual fund that had an identical investment objective, and substantially identical investment strategies, policies and risks as the Fund (i.e., a “feeder fund”). As a result of this arrangement, the Fund had an indirect interest in all of the securities owned by the Portfolio.
As of the close of business on May 7, 2018, the securities held by the Portfolio were transferred “in-kind” to the feeder fund in a tax free exchange of the feeder fund’s interests as part of a complete liquidation of the Portfolio.
Effective May 8, 2018, the feeder fund pursues its investment objective through direct investment in securities of the same type that previously would have been owned by the Portfolio. The discontinuance of the master-feeder arrangement on the feeder fund had no impact on shareholder’s net asset value or the results of operations for the feeder fund.
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.
Security Valuation
Each Fund's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value each Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
•  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.
65


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2019

•  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 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 Fund's NAV and the prices used by the Funds' underlying benchmarks. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments.
The Funds value their assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
•  Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
•  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s
66

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST

assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
The value of each Fund’s investments, according to the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2019, is disclosed in each Fund’s respective Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments and foreign exchange transactions, if any, are determined using the identified cost method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, or when the information becomes available, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.
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 Funds within the Trust.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars using exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Foreign Taxes
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with SSGA FM's understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the
67

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 June 30, 2019, if any, are disclosed in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Equalization
Certain 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.
SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF
SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF
SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF
Distributions
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The amount and character of income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with applicable tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.
3.    Securities and Other Investments
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities
During the period, certain Funds transacted in securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The Funds may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Funds identify securities as segregated in their records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities

or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic or other factors.
Loan Agreements
The SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF and SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF 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 Funds 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 Funds as the issuers of such loans.
4.    Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory Fee
The Trust, on behalf of 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 (“Management/Advisory 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 DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF

0.75%
SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF

0.50
SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF

0.65
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses, until October 31, 2019, so that the net annual Fund operating expenses of the Fund will be limited to 0.65%, 0.45% and 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF, the SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF and the SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF, respectively, 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
69


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)

reimbursement from year to year, but there is no guarantee that the Adviser will do so and after October 31, 2019, the waiver and/or reimbursement may be canceled 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 total amount of expenses waived for the Funds for the period ended June 30, 2019 have been disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
The Adviser pays all the expenses of each Fund other than the management fee, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Trust’s Independent Trustees (including any Trustees’ counsel fees), acquired fund fees and expenses, litigation expenses, and other extraordinary expenses.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses in an amount equal to acquired fund fees and expenses (excluding holdings in acquired funds for cash management purposes, if any) for each Fund until October 31, 2019.
DoubleLine Capital LP receives fees for its services as the sub-adviser to the Funds from the Adviser.
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 Advisors 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 Corporation, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Funds owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the period ended June 30, 2019 are disclosed in the Schedules 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 Funds. 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 in-kind transactions and short term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2019, were as follows:

7.    Shareholder Transactions
Each Fund issues and redeems its shares, at NAV, 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 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 Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)

8.    Income Tax Information
The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. 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 (the “IRS”) for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. SSGA FM has analyzed 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.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on NAVs or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments for pay-down gains and losses, and wash sales.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended June 30, 2019, was as follows:

9.    Line of Credit
The Funds 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 2019 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.
The Funds had no outstanding loans as of June 30, 2019.
10.    Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Funds' 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 Funds' investments more than if the Funds 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 Funds 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 the Funds invest 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 Funds 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 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 Pronouncement
In August 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released its Final Rule on Disclosure Update and Simplification (the “Final Rule”) which is intended to simplify an issuer’s disclosure compliance efforts by removing redundant or outdated disclosure requirements without significantly altering the mix of information provided to investors. The Funds have adopted the Final Rule for the current period with the most notable impacts being that the Funds are no longer required to present components of distributable earnings on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or the sources of distributions to shareholders and the amount of undistributed net investment income on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
For the period ended June 30, 2018, distributions to shareholders and undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income were as follows:
  Net

  Net Realized

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF, SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF, SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF and the Board of Trustees of SSGA Active Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Schedule of Investments in Securities
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF, SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF and SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) (three of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”)), including the schedules of investments or summary schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2019, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”) (the financial statements are included in item 1 of this Form N-CSR), and the schedule of investment in securities as of June 30, 2019 (included in item 6 of this Form N-CSR). In our opinion, the financial statements and schedule of investments in securities present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds (three of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust) at June 30, 2019, and the results of their operations, changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and schedule of investments in securities are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and schedule of investments in securities based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and schedule of investments in securities are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and schedule of investments in securities, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and schedule of investments in securities. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well

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 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 January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
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 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.

SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF
Approval of Advisory Agreement
At in-person meetings held prior to June 30, 2019, 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 SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF, SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF, and SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF, each a series of SSGA Active Trust (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). 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 Funds under the Agreement, (ii) investment performance of the Funds, (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 Funds grow.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
82


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

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 each of the Funds in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Board appreciated the nature of the Funds as exchange-traded funds and the experience and expertise of the Adviser with exchange-traded funds. The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management, oversight of sub-advisers and regulatory compliance of the Funds. The Board also considered the portfolio management resources, structures and practices of the Adviser, including those associated with monitoring and securing each 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 senior personnel. The Board considered that the Adviser and its affiliates constitute one of the world’s largest investment management enterprises for exchange-traded funds. The Board specifically considered the Adviser’s experience in active management, managing exchange-traded funds and overseeing third-party sub-advisers.
Investment Performance
The Board then reviewed each Fund’s performance. The Board compared each Fund’s investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark (gross of expenses) and a group of comparable funds (net of expenses). Among other information, the Board considered the following performance information in its evaluation of each Fund:
SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF. The Board considered that although the Fund equaled the median of its Performance Group for the 1-year period, it underperformed its benchmark index for the 1-year and since inception periods.
SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1- and 2-year periods and that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1-year period, but underperformed for the 3-year and since inception periods.

SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-year period, and that it underperformed its benchmark index for the 1-year and since inception periods.
In those instances where the Board observed underperformance, the Trustees considered management’s explanation of those factors that contributed to such 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 Funds to the Adviser, including data on the Funds’ historical profitability to the Adviser. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, with their independent legal counsel, had the opportunity to discuss, with representatives of the Adviser and State Street, methodologies used in computing costs that formed the bases of profitability calculations.
Fees Charged to Comparable Funds
The Board evaluated each Fund’s unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar funds – i.e., exchange-traded funds that are actively managed. The Board reviewed the universe of similar exchange-traded funds for each Fund based upon data independently obtained from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (formerly Lipper Analytical Services) and related comparative information for similar exchange-traded funds.
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 each Fund’s assets grow in size. The Board noted that the Agreement did not provide for breakpoints in each Fund’s advisory fee rates as assets of a 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 each Fund by fixing relatively low advisory fees, effectively sharing the benefits of lower fees with each 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

Table of Contents

OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

diluted with the addition of breakpoints. The Board noted that it intends to continue to monitor fees as each 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 each Fund. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser with respect to each Fund were appropriate; (b) the performance of each Fund had been satisfactory; (c) the Adviser’s unitary fee for each Fund, considered in relation to services provided and in relation to fees charged to comparable funds, was fair and reasonable; (d) the 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) the fees paid to the Adviser adequately shared the economies of scale with respect to each Fund by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trust.
Approval of DoubleLine Capital LP Sub-Advisory Agreement
At in-person meetings held prior to June 30, 2019, the Board also considered a proposal to continue the Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and DoubleLine Capital LP (“DoubleLine”) with respect to each Fund. The Independent Trustees also met separately to consider the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board requested, and DoubleLine and the Adviser provided, such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary. In deciding whether to approve the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, including the (i) nature, extent and quality of services provided by DoubleLine with respect to each Fund under the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement; and (ii) investment performance of each Fund. The Board was informed of the portion of the advisory fee that the Adviser would pay to DoubleLine under the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement and also considered that such fees would be paid directly by the Adviser and would not result in increased fees payable by the Funds.
The Board considered the background and experience of DoubleLine’s senior management and, in particular, DoubleLine’s experience in investing in fixed income securities. The Board reviewed each Fund’s performance, noting that the performance of
85

OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)

each Fund was satisfactory. The Board also considered the unitary fee paid to the Adviser by each Fund and DoubleLine’s fees paid by the Adviser. The Board also considered whether DoubleLine benefited in other ways from its relationship with the Trust.
After weighing the foregoing factors as well as the relevant factors discussed in relation to the Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, 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 DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature and extent of the services provided by DoubleLine with respect to each Fund were adequate and appropriate; (b) the performance of each Fund had been satisfactory; (c) DoubleLine’s fees for each Fund and the unitary fee, considered in relation to the services provided, were fair and reasonable; (d) any additional potential benefits to DoubleLine were not of a magnitude to materially affect the Board’s conclusions; and (e) the fees paid to DoubleLine adequately shared the economies of scale with each Fund by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trust.

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

Instead, the reports will be made available on a Fund’s website (www.spdrs.com), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted, and provided with a website link to access the report. If you already elected to receive reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications by contacting your financial intermediary.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held in your account.

Note to Performance Summary (Unaudited)
The performance chart of a Fund’s total return at net asset value (“NAV”), the total return based on market price and its benchmark index is provided for comparative purposes only and represents the periods noted. A Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of a Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of a Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of a Fund. The market price used to calculate the market return is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the exchange on which the shares of a Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that a Fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in a Fund at NAV. Market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included market returns would be lower.
An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not reflect deductions for fees or expenses. In comparison, a Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Index returns reflect all items of income, gain and loss and the reinvestment of dividends and other income.
The Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Leveraged Loan Index is comprised of about 100 of the most liquid, tradable leveraged loans, as identified by Markit’s Loans Liquidity service. Markit is a premier provider of independent, transparent, and objective loan indices for trading, product structuring, and benchmarking to bring transparency and liquidity to the financial markets.
The S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index is designed to reflect the largest facilities in the leveraged loan market. It mirrors the market-weighted performance of the largest institutional leveraged loans based upon market weightings, spreads, and interest payments. The index consists of 100 loan facilities drawn from a larger benchmark, the S&P/LSTA (Loan Syndications and Trading Association) Leveraged Loan Index (LLI).

SPDR BLACKSTONE / GSO SENIOR LOAN ETF
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF (the “Fund”) normally invests substantially all of its assets in the Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The investment objective of each of the Fund and the Portfolio is to provide current income consistent with the preservation of capital. As a result, the Fund invests indirectly through the Portfolio. The Fund’s primary benchmark is the Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Leveraged Loan Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 3.68%, and the Index was 3.49%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.
Credit selection within B-rated and below loans and the industrials and energy sectors were the primary positive drivers of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. Underweight allocations to BB-rated loans, the consumer sector, and certain stressed retail loans were the primary detractors as each of these outperformed during the Reporting Period.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.
On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were PetSmart Inc. Term Loan, Asurion Corporation Second Lien Term Loan, and Univision Communications Term Loan. The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Envision Healthcare Term Loan, Maxar Technologies Term Loan, and Envision Healthcare Unsecured Bond.
The views expressed above reflect those of the Fund’s portfolio manager only through the Reporting Period, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Adviser as a whole. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and the Adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2019

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 June 30, 2019, the Trust consists of fourteen (14) 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 SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF (the “Fund”).
The Fund is classified as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.
The Fund is part of a master-feeder structure and invests substantially all of its assets in the Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of the SSGA Master Trust (“Master Trust”). The value of the Fund's investment in the Portfolio reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in net assets of the Portfolio (100.00% at June 30, 2019). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including its Schedule of Investments, are attached to this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's 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. The Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2019

Security Valuation
The Fund records its investment in the Portfolio at fair value (net asset value) each business day. The valuation policy of the Portfolio is discussed in Note 2 of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements, which are attached to this report.
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 Fund are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from security transactions consist of the Fund’s pro-rata share of its Portfolio’s realized gains and losses. Net investment income consists of the Fund’s pro-rata share of the net investment income of its 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 Fund within the Trust. Class specific expenses are borne by each class.
The Fund is allocated a pro-rata share of the expenses of its Portfolio.
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
9


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2019

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. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times to improve Index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). 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.

The Trust, on behalf of 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 (“Management/Advisory fee”) accrued daily and paid monthly, based on a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the following table:
  Annual Rate
SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF

0.70%*
* The Advisory fee is reduced by the pro-rata share of the advisory fee of the Fund’s Portfolio. For the period ended June 30, 2019, the net annualized advisory fee was 0.40%.
The Adviser pays all the operating expenses of the Fund other than the management fee, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Trust’s Independent Trustees (including any Trustees’ counsel fees), acquired fund fees and expenses, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses in an amount equal to acquired fund fees and expenses (excluding holdings in acquired funds for cash management purposes, if any) for the Fund until October 31, 2019.

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 Advisors 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 June 30, 2019, are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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.    Shareholder Transactions
The Fund issues and redeems its shares, at Net Asset Value (“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 on Net Assets.

6.    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 . The Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.
The Fund files federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. SSGA FM has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book- tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net asset values or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments for wash sales.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended June 30, 2019, was as follows:
  Ordinary
Income
  Long-Term
Capital Gains

SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF

7.    New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released its Final Rule on Disclosure Update and Simplification (the “Final Rule”) which is intended to simplify an issuer’s disclosure compliance efforts by removing redundant or outdated disclosure requirements without significantly altering the mix of information provided to investors. The Fund has adopted the Final Rule for the current period with the most notable impacts being that the Fund is no longer required to present the components of distributable earnings on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or the sources of distributions to shareholders and the amount of undistributed net investment income on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
For the period ended June 30, 2018, distributions to shareholders and undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income were as follows:

8.    Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements other than below:
The SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF ( the “Fund”) had been operating in a “master-feeder” arrangement, under which the Fund invested substantially all of its assets in a corresponding series of SSGA Master Trust (i.e., a “master fund”), namely SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio.
The master fund was a separate mutual fund that had an identical investment objective, and substantially identical investment strategies, policies and risks as the Fund. As a result of this arrangement, the Fund had an indirect interest in all of the securities owned by the corresponding master fund.
At a meeting held on May 22- 23, 2019, the Board of Trustees approved discontinuing the Fund’s investment strategy of investing through the master-feeder arrangement. Accordingly, effective September 9, 2019, all references to the master-feeder arrangement for the Fund and the master fund is removed from the prospectus and SAI. Other than discontinuing the master-feeder arrangement, there is no change to the investment objective, strategies or policies of the Fund. In addition, there is no anticipated change in the Fund’s operating expenses. As a result, SSGA Funds Management, Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser, does not expect the discontinuation of the master-feeder arrangement to materially affect the Fund’s investment returns.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”)), as of June 30, 2019, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting SSGA Active Trust), at June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by

correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

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 January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
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 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.

Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), also met separately to consider the Agreements. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the Agreements, the Board requested, and SSGA FM, the Trust’s investment adviser and administrator, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trusts’ 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 Agreements, the Board considered various factors, including the (i) nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Funds under the Agreements, (ii) investment performance of the Funds, (iii) profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Trusts, (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 Funds grow.
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 Trusts and materials provided prior to and at the meeting. The Board reviewed the Agreements and the Adviser’s responsibilities for managing investment operations of each of the Funds in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Board appreciated the nature of the SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF as an exchange-traded fund and the experience and expertise of the Adviser with exchange-traded funds, as well as with master-feeder structures. The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management, oversight of sub-advisers and regulatory compliance of the Funds. The Board also considered the portfolio management resources, structures and practices of the Adviser, including those associated with monitoring and securing each 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 senior personnel. The Board considered that the Adviser and its affiliates constitute one of the world’s largest investment management enterprises for exchange-traded funds. The Board specifically considered the Adviser’s experience in active management, managing exchange-traded funds and master-feeder structures, and in overseeing third-party sub-advisers.

Investment Performance
SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF. The Board then reviewed the Funds’ performance. The Board compared the SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF’s (the feeder fund) investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark (gross of expenses) and a group of comparable funds (net of expenses). Among other information, the Board considered that although the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 4- and 5-year periods, it outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2- and 3-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3- and 5-year and since inception periods.
In those instances where the Board observed underperformance, the Trustees considered management’s explanation of those factors that contributed to such 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 Funds to the Adviser, including data on the Funds’ historical profitability to the Adviser. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, with their independent legal counsel, had the opportunity to discuss, with representatives of the Adviser and State Street, methodologies used in computing costs that formed the bases of profitability calculations.
Fees Charged to Comparable Funds
The Board evaluated each Fund’s unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar funds – i.e., exchange-traded funds that are actively managed. The Board reviewed the universe of similar exchange-traded funds based upon data independently obtained from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (formerly Lipper Analytical Services) and related comparative information for similar exchange-traded funds. The Board also reviewed the fee structure of the SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF in connection with the master-feeder structure. In doing so, the Board used a fund by fund analysis of the data.
Other Benefits
The Board also considered whether the Adviser or its affiliates benefited in other ways from its relationship with the Trusts, noting that the Adviser does not maintain soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Trusts’ brokerage transactions.
Economies of Scale
21


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

The Board reviewed information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result as each Fund’s assets grow in size. The Board noted that the Agreements did not provide for breakpoints in each Fund’s advisory fee rates as assets of a 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 Funds by fixing relatively low advisory fees, effectively sharing the benefits of lower fees with the Funds 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 Funds grow 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 each Fund. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Funds were appropriate; (b) the performance of the SPDR GSO / Blackstone Senior Loan ETF had been satisfactory; (c) the Adviser’s unitary fee for the SPDR GSO / Blackstone Senior Loan ETF, considered in relation to services provided and in relation to fees charged to comparable funds, was fair and reasonable; (d) profitability of the Trusts’ 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) the fees paid to the Adviser adequately shared the economies of scale with respect to the Funds by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trusts.
Approval of GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC Sub-Advisory Agreements
At in-person meetings held prior to June 30, 2019, the Board also evaluated proposals to continue the separate Sub-Advisory Agreements (the “GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements”) between the Adviser and GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC (“GSO / Blackstone”) with respect to the SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF, a series of the SSGA Active Trust, and Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio, a series of the SSGA Master Trust, each sub-advised by GSO / Blackstone (the “GSO / Blackstone Funds”). The Independent Trustees also met separately to consider the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.

To evaluate the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board requested, and GSO / Blackstone and the Adviser provided, such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary. In deciding whether to approve the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board considered various factors, including the (i) nature, extent and quality of services provided by GSO / Blackstone with respect to the GSO / Blackstone Funds under the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements and (ii) investment performance of the GSO / Blackstone Funds. The Board was informed of the portion of the current advisory fee that the Adviser would pay to GSO / Blackstone under the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements and also considered that such fees would be paid directly by the Adviser and would not result in increased fees payable by the GSO / Blackstone Funds.
The Board considered the background and experience of GSO / Blackstone’s senior management and, in particular, GSO / Blackstone’s experience in investing in senior loan securities. The Board reviewed the GSO / Blackstone Funds’ performance, noting that the performance of the GSO / Blackstone Funds was satisfactory. The Board also considered the unitary fee paid to the Adviser by each GSO / Blackstone Fund and GSO / Blackstone’s fees paid by the Adviser. The Board also considered whether GSO / Blackstone benefited in other ways from its relationship with the Trusts.
After weighing the foregoing factors as well as the relevant factors discussed in relation to the Agreements between the Trusts and the Adviser, 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 GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreement for each GSO / Blackstone Fund. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature and extent of the services provided by GSO / Blackstone with respect to the GSO / Blackstone Funds were appropriate; (b) the performance of the GSO / Blackstone Funds had been satisfactory; (c) GSO / Blackstone’s fees for the GSO / Blackstone Funds and the unitary fee, considered in relation to the services provided, were fair and reasonable; (d) any additional potential benefits to GSO / Blackstone were not of a magnitude to materially affect the Board’s conclusions; and (e) the fees paid to GSO / Blackstone adequately shared the economies of scale with each applicable GSO / Blackstone Fund by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trusts.

As of June 30, 2019, the Trust consists of one (1) series, which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The financial statements herein relate to the Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio (the “Portfolio”).
The Portfolio is classified as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.
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
36


Table of Contents
SSGA MASTER TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2019

“Committee”) and approved by the Board. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Portfolio. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio'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.
•  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 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 the Portfolio's NAV and the prices used by the Portfolio's underlying benchmark.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments.
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:
37


Table of Contents
SSGA MASTER TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2019

•  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 June 30, 2019, is disclosed in the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments and foreign exchange transactions, if any, are determined using the identified cost method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, or when the information becomes available, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Interest income is recorded 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, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value.
Distributions received by the Portfolio may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains.
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
Expenses which are directly identifiable to the Portfolio are applied to the Portfolio within the Trust.

3.    Securities and Other Investments
Loan Agreements
The Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio as the issuers of such loans.
4.    Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory Fee
The Portfolio has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSGA FM. For its advisory services to the Portfolio, facilities furnished, and expenses borne by the Adviser, the Portfolio pays the Adviser a fee (“Management/Advisory fee”) accrued daily and paid monthly, based on a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets as shown in the following table:
  Annual Rate
Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio

0.30%
The Adviser pays all the expenses of the Portfolio other than the management fee, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Trust's Independent Trustees (including any Trustees' counsel fees), acquired fund fees and expenses, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.
GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC receives fees for its services as the sub-adviser to the Portfolio from the Adviser.
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.
39

SSGA MASTER TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2019

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 June 30, 2019 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 Portfolio. 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 in-kind transactions and short term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2019, were as follows:
  Purchases   Sales
Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio

$3,243,539,566   $4,164,867,456
7.    Income Tax Information
The Portfolio is not required to pay federal income taxes on its net investment income and net capital gains because it is treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. All interest, gains and losses of the Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the Portfolio's partners in proportion to their holdings in the Portfolio, regardless of whether such items have been distributed by the Portfolio. Each partner is responsible for its tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
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. 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.

8.    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. The Portfolio has exclusive access to $300 million of the total credit facility. This agreement expires in October 2019 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 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.
The Portfolio had no outstanding loans as of June 30, 2019.
9.    Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Portfolio's ability to invest a large percentage of it's 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
41


Table of Contents
SSGA MASTER TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2019

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Owners of Beneficial Interest and the Board of Trustees of Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2019, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio at June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing
43

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more State Street Global Advisors investment companies since 2000.

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 January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
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.

Approval of Advisory Agreements
At in-person meetings held prior to June 30, 2019, the Board of Trustees of the Trusts (the “Board”) evaluated proposals to continue the separate Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreements”) between each Trust and SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) with respect to: (1) the SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF, a series of SSGA Active Trust, and (2) the Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio, a series of SSGA Master Trust (together with the SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF, the “Funds”). The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of each Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), also met separately to consider the Agreements. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the Agreements, the Board requested, and SSGA FM, the Trust’s investment adviser and administrator, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trusts’ 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 Agreements, the Board considered various factors, including the (i) nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Funds under the Agreements, (ii) investment performance of the Funds, (iii) profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Trusts, (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 Funds grow.
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 Trusts and materials provided prior to and at the meeting. The Board reviewed the Agreements and the Adviser’s responsibilities for managing investment operations of each of the Funds in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Board appreciated the nature of the SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF as an exchange-traded fund and the experience and expertise of the Adviser with exchange-traded funds, as well as with master-feeder structures. The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management, oversight of sub-advisers and regulatory compliance of the Funds. The Board also considered the portfolio management resources, structures and practices of the Adviser, including those associated with monitoring and securing each 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
47


Table of Contents
SSGA MASTER TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)

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 senior personnel. The Board considered that the Adviser and its affiliates constitute one of the world’s largest investment management enterprises for exchange-traded funds. The Board specifically considered the Adviser’s experience in active management, managing exchange-traded funds and master-feeder structures, and in overseeing third-party sub-advisers.
Investment Performance
SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF. The Board then reviewed the Funds’ performance. The Board compared the SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF’s (the feeder fund) investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark (gross of expenses) and a group of comparable funds (net of expenses). Among other information, the Board considered that although the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 4- and 5-year periods, it outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2- and 3-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3- and 5-year and since inception periods.
In those instances where the Board observed underperformance, the Trustees considered management’s explanation of those factors that contributed to such 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 Funds to the Adviser, including data on the Funds’ historical profitability to the Adviser. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, with their independent legal counsel, had the opportunity to discuss, with representatives of the Adviser and State Street, methodologies used in computing costs that formed the bases of profitability calculations.
Fees Charged to Comparable Funds
The Board evaluated each Fund’s unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar funds – i.e., exchange-traded funds that are actively managed. The Board reviewed the universe of similar exchange-traded funds based upon data independently obtained from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (formerly Lipper Analytical Services) and related comparative information for similar exchange-traded funds. The Board also reviewed the fee structure of the SPDR
48


Table of Contents

OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF in connection with the master-feeder structure. In doing so, the Board used a fund by fund analysis of the data.
Other Benefits
The Board also considered whether the Adviser or its affiliates benefited in other ways from its relationship with the Trusts, noting that the Adviser does not maintain soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Trusts’ brokerage transactions.
Economies of Scale
The Board reviewed information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result as each Fund’s assets grow in size. The Board noted that the Agreements did not provide for breakpoints in each Fund’s advisory fee rates as assets of a 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 Funds by fixing relatively low advisory fees, effectively sharing the benefits of lower fees with the Funds 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 Funds grow 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 each Fund. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Funds were appropriate; (b) the performance of the SPDR GSO / Blackstone Senior Loan ETF had been satisfactory; (c) the Adviser’s unitary fee for the SPDR GSO / Blackstone Senior Loan ETF, considered in relation to services provided and in relation to fees charged to comparable funds, was fair and reasonable; (d) profitability of the Trusts’ 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) the fees paid to the Adviser adequately shared the economies of scale with respect to the Funds by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trusts.

At in-person meetings held prior to June 30, 2019, the Board also evaluated proposals to continue the separate Sub-Advisory Agreements (the “GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements”) between the Adviser and GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC (“GSO / Blackstone”) with respect to the SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF, a series of the SSGA Active Trust, and Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio, a series of the SSGA Master Trust, each sub-advised by GSO / Blackstone (the “GSO / Blackstone Funds”). The Independent Trustees also met separately to consider the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board requested, and GSO / Blackstone and the Adviser provided, such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary. In deciding whether to approve the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board considered various factors, including the (i) nature, extent and quality of services provided by GSO / Blackstone with respect to the GSO / Blackstone Funds under the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements and (ii) investment performance of the GSO / Blackstone Funds. The Board was informed of the portion of the current advisory fee that the Adviser would pay to GSO / Blackstone under the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreements and also considered that such fees would be paid directly by the Adviser and would not result in increased fees payable by the GSO / Blackstone Funds.
The Board considered the background and experience of GSO / Blackstone’s senior management and, in particular, GSO / Blackstone’s experience in investing in senior loan securities. The Board reviewed the GSO / Blackstone Funds’ performance, noting that the performance of the GSO / Blackstone Funds was satisfactory. The Board also considered the unitary fee paid to the Adviser by each GSO / Blackstone Fund and GSO / Blackstone’s fees paid by the Adviser. The Board also considered whether GSO / Blackstone benefited in other ways from its relationship with the Trusts.
After weighing the foregoing factors as well as the relevant factors discussed in relation to the Agreements between the Trusts and the Adviser, 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 GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreement for each GSO / Blackstone Fund. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature and extent of the services provided by GSO / Blackstone with respect to the GSO / Blackstone Funds were appropriate; (b) the performance of the GSO / Blackstone Funds had been satisfactory; (c) GSO / Blackstone’s fees for the GSO / Blackstone Funds and the unitary fee, considered in relation to the services provided, were fair and reasonable; (d) any additional potential benefits to GSO / Blackstone were not of a magnitude to materially affect the Board’s conclusions; and (e) the fees paid to GSO / Blackstone adequately shared the economies

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

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party (the “Code of Ethics”). During the period covered by this report, no substantive amendments were made to the Code of Ethics. During the period covered by this report, the registrant did not grant any waivers, including any implicit waivers, from any provision of the Code of Ethics.

The Code of Ethics is attached hereto as Exhibit 13(a)(1).

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

(a)(1)    The Board of Trustees of the registrant has determined that the registrant has six Board members serving on the Audit Committee that possess the attributes identified in Instructions 2(b) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert.”

(2)    Bonny Boatman, Dwight Churchill, Frank Nesvet, Clare Richer, Sandra Sponem and Carl Verboncoeur are the registrant’s audit committee financial experts. The Board also determined that each of the foregoing persons are not “interested person(s)” of the registrant as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

(a) Audit Fees.

For the fiscal years ending June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the aggregate audit fees billed for professional services rendered by the principal accountant were $257,071 and $209,557, respectively. Audit fees include the performance of the annual audits and routine regulatory filings (one for each SEC registrant).

(b) Audit-Related Fees.

For the fiscal years ending June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the principal accountant did not bill the registrant any fees for assurances and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item.

(c) Tax Fees.

For the fiscal years ending June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the aggregate tax fees billed for professional services rendered by the principal accountant were $138,894 and $117,852, respectively. Tax fees represent services related to the review of year-end distribution requirements, as well as the review and signing as preparer of all federal, state and excise income tax returns for the series of the registrant.

(d) All Other Fees.

There were no other fees billed by the principal accountant for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.

The registrant’s Audit Committee Charter states the following with respect to pre-approval procedures:

Before the independent auditors are engaged by the Trust to render audit or non-audit services, either:


Table of Contents
  a.

The Audit Committee shall pre-approve all auditing services and permissible non-audit services (e.g., tax services) provided to the Trust. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to grant pre-approvals. Any decision of any member to whom authority is delegated under this section shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting;

or

 

  b.

The engagement to render the auditing service or permissible non-audit service is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee. Any such policies and procedures must (1) be detailed as to the particular service and (2) not involve any delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to the investment adviser. The Audit Committee must be informed of each service entered into pursuant to the policies and procedures. A copy of any such policies and procedures shall be attached as an exhibit to the Audit Committee Charter.

 

  c.

De Minimis Exceptions to Pre-Approval Requirements. Pre-Approval for a service provided to the Trust other than audit, review or attest services is not required if: (1) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided to the Trust constitutes not more than 5 percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the Trust to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by the Trust at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and are approved by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit.

 

  d.

Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to the investment adviser and Certain Control Persons. The Audit Committee shall pre-approve any non-audit services proposed to be provided by the independent auditors to (a) the investment adviser and (b) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Trust, if the independent auditors’ engagement with the investment adviser or any such control persons relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust. It shall be the responsibility of the independent auditors to notify the Audit Committee of any non-audit services that need to be pre-approved.

 

  e.

Application of De Minimis Exception: The De Minimis exception set forth above applies to pre-approvals under this Section as well, except that the “total amount of revenues” calculation is based on the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors by the Trust and any other entity that has its services approved under this Section (i.e., the investment adviser or any control person).

(e)(2) Percentage of Services.

One hundred percent of the services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item were approved by the registrant’s Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not applicable.

(h) The registrant’s principal accountant notified the registrant’s Audit Committee of all non-audit services that were rendered by the principal accountant to the Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides services to the registrant, which services were not required to be pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, allowing the registrant’s Audit Committee to consider whether such services were compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
