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, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was –12.71%, and the Index was 8.74%. 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 and global infrastructure equities, and real estate via Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), were the primary drivers of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. Commodities have remained under pressure over the past year, with growth fears stemming from ongoing trade concerns, an oversupply of product in the energy and agricultural sectors, and the significant drawdown in demand over the past six months as the COVID-19 pandemic gripped the entire globe. There was a brief period at the end of 2019 when an improving macro outlook seemed promising, underpinned by the OPEC+ agreement to cut production and a phase one trade deal between the US and China that was expected to provide support for energy, metals, and agricultural commodities. While that proved fleeting, gold remained well bid as global monetary policy became more accommodative and geopolitical risks increased, capped with the economic implications for markets due to the current global pandemic. Global natural resource equities continued to be rattled by many of the same issues affecting commodities and were weighted down further with declining profitability, forced reductions in capital expenditures, and investor aversion to the group. With the onset of the pandemic global supply chain disruptions and impacts on labor from quarantine measures had a debilitating effect on both global natural resources and the more stable infrastructure equities. Collapsing global Purchasing Manufacture Indexes (PMIs) in the first half of 2020 signaled a sharp contraction in business activity and while economies are starting to enact re-opening plans, it’s likely to come at a gradual pace with softer demand likely pro-longed. Infrastructure fared better as the utility companies, which are not as sensitive to the particular economic environment, helped to provide support. Real estate benefited in the first half of the period as concerns over trade discussions with China led investors to seek out assets that might be more insulated from a negative outcome. Further, the assets were positioned to benefit from multiple Federal Reserve rate cuts and declining US treasury yields. However, with the onset of the pandemic and despite possessing defensive characteristics along with an attractive yield advantage over the US 10-year treasuries, REITs experienced a deep selloff in the first half of 2020. The office, retail, hospitality and food services industries remain under extreme duress as lockdowns have closed many businesses while rising unemployment and social distancing guidelines have dented demand which is likely to materially impact cash flows and dividends. Despite the consistent trend lower in market-implied breakeven inflation expectations, real yields were pushed relentlessly lower in 2019 and first quarter of 2020. More recently, the demand destruction and deflationary effects of the pandemic have been evident in the recent global inflation readings. US Consumer Price Index (CPI) prints declined over a four-month period in the first half of 2020 before turning positive in June, a sign of gradually recovering inflation expectations. Five-year breakevens for US TIPS noticeably improved, moving higher over the last three months and outperformed nominal bonds of similar maturities.
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 Invesco DB Gold Fund (DGL) SPDR Portfolio TIPS ETF (SPIP), and SPDR FTSE International Government Inflation-Protected Bond ETF (WIP). The lowest contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis were the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE), SPDR S&P Metals and Mining ETF(XME), and Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (PDBC).

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.

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, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 1.00%, and the Index was 1.17%. 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 global market equities, US corporate and government bonds and commodities were all primary drivers of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. Financial markets experienced a considerable increase in volatility over the year, particularly in the second half as social distancing and other mobility restrictions enacted to slow the spread of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused significant harm to the global economy. Among the hardest hit asset classes held within the Fund were Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), where lock-downs forced many businesses to shudder in the face of dented demand – placing a fresh uncertainty on prospects for the sector as whole. The re-pricing future profitability was not limited to just REITs however, equities across the globe similarly suffered as expectations for earnings growth were revised lower as a result of the virus. Spreads also widened on corporate bonds over the period, pressuring returns in high yield securities. Still, with investors seeking safety in government bonds and the Federal Reserve aggressively cutting interest rates, the decline in yields over the period led to positive returns for most allocations to fixed income within the Fund. In equities, US large cap stocks were a lone bright spot with technology stocks gaining the lion’s share of positive performance. Finally, despite supply and demand shocks pressuring returns lower across the broader commodity complex, gold responded favorably as a hedge to macro-economic uncertainty and was a large contributor to positive return for the Fund.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.
On an individual security level, the top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were the SPDR Dow Jones REIT ETF, the SPDR Developed World ex-US ETF and the SPDR Dow Jones International Real Estate ETF. The top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were the Invesco DB Gold Fund, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and the SPDR Portfolio Intermediate Term Corporate Bond ETF.

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, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 1.86%, and the Index was 1.65%. 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 excess duration of the Fund plus the yield advantage from the Fund’s allocation to investment grade corporate credit floating rate notes (“FRN”) and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) were the primary drivers of the Fund’s out-performance of the Index during the Reporting Period. During the Reporting Period, the COVID-19 global pandemic led to a material widening of FRN and ABS spreads, which led to a significant easing of Federal Reserve monetary policy and US fiscal policy. During the Reporting Period, the Fed cut the Fed Funds rate from 2.50% to 0.25%. Also, during the Reporting Period, the Fed’s balance sheet grew from $3.8 trillion to $7.1 trillion as the Fed initiated a securities purchase program in 2020 that included corporate bond securities for the first time. Finally, the US government passed legislation during the Reporting Period that resulted in roughly $3.0 trillion of new fiscal stimulus. The combination of government support and early signs of an economic recovery were the key drivers to the significant recovery of FRN and ABS spreads observed during the Reporting Period. The Fund maintained a duration profile near the middle of its expected 0.25 to 0.75 range during the Reporting Period.
As of the June 30, 2020, the Fund’s asset allocation consisted of US Treasuries (3.9%), Credit-Financial (27.8%), Credit- Industrial (31.9%), Credit-Non Corp (3.4%), ABS (27.4%), CMBS (1.9%) and Cash (3.7%).
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.

SPDR MFS SYSTEMATIC CORE EQUITY ETF
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
Summary of Results
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the SPDR MFS Systematic Core Equity ETF (the “Fund”) provided a total return of 2.78%. This compares with a return of 7.51% for the Fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index (S&P 500 Index).
Market Environment
Markets experienced an extraordinarily sharp selloff and, in many cases, an unusually rapid partial recovery late in the Reporting Period. Central banks and fiscal authorities undertook astonishing levels of stimulus to offset the economic effects of government-imposed social-distancing measures implemented to slow the spread of COVID-19. At this point, the global economy looks to have experienced the deepest, steepest and possibly shortest recession in the post-war period. The recovery remains subject to more than the usual uncertainties, however, due to questions around the evolution of the virus, its continued impacts and treatments.
Compounding market uncertainty earlier in the coronavirus pandemic was a crash in the price of crude oil due to a sharp drop in global demand and a disagreement between Saudi Arabia and Russia over production cuts, which resulted in a price war. The subsequent decline in prices undercut oil exporters, many of which are in emerging markets, as well as a large segment of the high-yield credit market. The OPEC+ group later agreed on output cuts, while shale oil producers in the United States also decreased production, which – along with the gradual reopening of some major economies and the resultant boost in demand – helped stabilize the price of crude oil.
Around the world, central banks responded quickly and massively to the crisis with programs to improve liquidity and support markets. They proved largely successful in helping to restore market function, ease volatility and stimulate a market rebound through the end of the Reporting Period. Monetary easing measures were complemented by large fiscal stimulus initiatives in developed countries. Even emerging market countries were able to implement countercyclical policies –a departure from the usual market-dictated response to risk-off crises – due to relatively manageable external liabilities and balances of payments in many countries, along with persistently low inflation.
As is often the case in a crisis, market vulnerabilities were revealed. For example, companies that added significant leverage to their balance sheets in recent years by borrowing to fund dividend payments and stock buybacks may find it difficult to follow that path in the future, and investors may not reward them if they do. Recapitalizations by some of these highly-leveraged firms could dilute existing shareholders. Very long supply chains designed to squeeze out every bit of savings may be shifted closer to home markets if companies seek to put resiliency before cost after a series of supply disruptions. The aftereffects of the pandemic could affect consumer, business and government behavior in ways difficult to forecast. Also, while markets have regained lost ground more swiftly than expected, any economic recovery is likely to be protracted.
Detractors from Performance
As an outcome of the performance of the Blended Research inputs and portfolio construction process, overall stock selection detracted from results.
Specifically, stock selection, and to a lesser extent, an overweight allocation to the real estate sector detracted from performance relative to the S&P 500 Index, led by the Fund’s holdings of real estate investment fund Spirit Realty(b)(h) .
Stock selection in the financials sector also held back relative returns. Within this sector, the Fund’s overweight positions in insurance services provider Prudential Financial, diversified financial services firm Citigroup, consumer financial services firm Synchrony Financial and insurance company MetLife weighed on relative performance.
Stock selection, and to a lesser extent, an overweight allocation to the consumer staples sector hindered relative returns, led by an overweight position in food producer Tyson Foods.
Elsewhere, an underweight position in internet retailer Amazon.com, and overweight positions in hospital operator HCA Healthcare and independent oil refiner Valero Energy, weakened relative results. In addition, holding shares of electricity provider Vistra Energy(b) further detracted from relative results.
Contributors to Performance
As an outcome of the performance of the Blended Research inputs and portfolio construction process, sector allocation benefitted results.
Specifically, stock selection and an overweight allocation to the information technology sector contributed to relative performance. Within this sector, an overweight position in computer and personal electronics maker Apple, software giant Microsoft and semiconductor company Intel bolstered relative results.
In other sectors, the Fund’s overweight position in pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, and not owning shares of aerospace company Boeing, investment conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, integrated energy company Chevron and pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, supported relative results. Additionally, the Fund’s timing of ownership in shares of diversified financial services firm Wells Fargo(h) and global financial services firm JPMorgan Chase(h) further benefited relative returns.
(b) Security is not a benchmark constituent.
(h) Security was not held in the fund at Reporting Period end.

SPDR MFS SYSTEMATIC GROWTH EQUITY ETF
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
Summary of Results
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the SPDR MFS Systematic Growth Equity ETF (the “Fund”) provided a total return of 17.12%. This compares with a return of 23.28% for the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index.
Market Environment
Markets experienced an extraordinarily sharp selloff and, in many cases, an unusually rapid partial recovery late in the Reporting Period. Central banks and fiscal authorities undertook astonishing levels of stimulus to offset the economic effects of government-imposed social-distancing measures implemented to slow the spread of COVID-19. At this point, the global economy looks to have experienced the deepest, steepest and possibly shortest recession in the post-war period. The recovery remains subject to more than the usual uncertainties, however, due to questions around the evolution of the virus, its continued impacts and treatments.

The subsequent decline in prices undercut oil exporters, many of which are in emerging markets, as well as a large segment of the high-yield credit market. The OPEC+ group later agreed on output cuts, while shale oil producers in the United States also decreased production, which – along with the gradual reopening of some major economies and the resultant boost in demand – helped stabilize the price of crude oil.

Monetary easing measures were complemented by large fiscal stimulus initiatives in developed countries. Even emerging market countries were able to implement countercyclical policies –a departure from the usual market-dictated response to risk-off crises – due to relatively manageable external liabilities and balances of payments in many countries, along with persistently low inflation.

Detractors from Performance
As an outcome of the performance of the Blended Research inputs and portfolio construction process, overall stock selection detracted from results.Specifically, security selection in the financials sector negatively impacted performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index. Here, an overweight position in consumer financial services firm Synchrony Financial hurt relative returns.
A combination of stock selection and, to a lesser extent, an overweight position in the real estate sector also detracted from relative results, led by an overweight position in financial and professional services company Jones Lang Lasalle(h).
An overweight position in the utilities sector also dampened relative performance. Within this sector, holdings of the electricity provider Vistra Energy(b) hampered relative results.
Security selection in both the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors detracted from relative returns. Within the consumer discretionary sector, the Fund's overweight position in coffee and tea company Starbucks and not owning electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla weakened relative performance. Within the information technology sector, the timing of the fund's ownership in shares of cloud-based internet security services provider Zscaler(h) and an overweight position in enterprise software products maker Oracle also hindered relative returns.
Stocks in other sectors that detracted from relative performance included the Fund's overweight positions in hospital operator HCA Healthcare, tobacco company Altria Group and automatic transmission manufacturer Allison Transmission.

Stocks in other sectors that contributed to relative performance included overweight positions in pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, enterprise cloud solutions provider ServiceNow, digital payment technology developer PayPal, computer and personal electronics maker Apple and broadcast and communication tower management firm American Tower. Additionally, underweight positions in both network equipment company Cisco Systems(h) and pharmaceutical company Merck(h), the timing of the Fund's ownership in shares of reinsurer Everest Reinsurance(h) and not owning beverage maker Coca-Cola further supported relative results.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
Summary of Results
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the SPDR MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF (the "Fund") provided a total return of –7.77%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 8.84% for the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index.
Market Environment
Markets experienced an extraordinarily sharp selloff and, in many cases, an unusually rapid partial recovery late in the Reporting Period. Central banks and fiscal authorities undertook astonishing levels of stimulus to offset the economic effects of government-imposed social-distancing measures implemented to slow the spread of COVID-19. At this point, the global economy looks to have experienced the deepest, steepest and possibly shortest recession in the post-war period.

Monetary easing measures were complemented by large fiscal stimulus initiatives in developed countries. Even emerging market countries were able to implement countercyclical policies –a departure from the usual market-dictated response to risk-off crises – due to relatively manageable external liabilities and balances of payments in many countries, along with persistently low inflation.
As is often the case in a crisis, market vulnerabilities were revealed. For example, companies that added significant leverage to their balance sheets in recent years by borrowing to fund dividend payments and stock buybacks may find it difficult to follow that path in the future, and investors may not reward them if they do.

The aftereffects of the pandemic could affect consumer, business and government behavior in ways difficult to forecast. Also, while markets have regained lost ground more swiftly than expected, any economic recovery is likely to be protracted.
Contributors to Performance
As an outcome of the performance of the Blended Research inputs and portfolio construction process, a combination of security selection and an overweight position in the health care sector contributed to performance relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index. Here, the Fund's position in shares of pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly(b) boosted relative performance. Overweight holdings of diversified medical products maker Johnson & Johnson, health services and information technology company McKesson and health care services provider Premier(h) further aided relative results.
Stock selection within the consumer discretionary sector also helped relative performance, led by the Fund's overweight holding of retail giant Target.
Securities in other sectors that contributed to relative performance included the Fund's holdings of software giant Microsoft(b) and the fund's overweight positions in leading diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton (Ireland), real estate investment trust Medical Properties Trust, semiconductor company Intel and industrial machinery producer Regal Beloit.
Detractors from Performance
As an outcome of the performance of the Blended Research inputs and portfolio construction process, security selection and an underweight position in the consumer staples sector detracted from relative performance. Here, the Fund's overweight position in food producer Tyson Foods and underweight position in shares of household products maker Procter & Gamble held back relative performance.
Stock selection within the utilities sector further hindered relative returns, led by the Fund's overweight position in shares of utility services provider Exelon.
Individual stocks that held back relative returns included overweight positions in direct banking and payment services provider Discover Financial Services(h), insurance company Prudential Financial, diversified financial services firm Citigroup, network equipment company Cisco Systems(h), independent oil refiner Valero Energy, natural gas gatherer Equitrans Midstream(h) and real estate investment trust Brixmor Property Group.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2020

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, 2020, 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.
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:
•  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.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2020

•  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, 2020, 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 the sale and 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. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.
Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the 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 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, 2020, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Equalization
The Funds follow the accounting practice known as “Equalization” by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring Fund shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of distributable net investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or reacquisition of Fund shares. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
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 ETF. The SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond 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:

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 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.

June 30, 2020

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, in-kind transactions, partnership basis adjustments, return of capital basis adjustment, paydown gains and losses and wash sale loss deferrals.

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, 2020, 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 from the non-cash collateral and the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as lending agent.
The following is a summary of each Fund’s securities lending agreements and related cash and non-cash collateral received as of June 30, 2020:

9.    Line of Credit
The SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) have access to $200 million of 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 2020 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 Fund had no outstanding loans as of June 30, 2020.
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.
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 Risk
A Fund's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. A Fund is subject to the risk that

geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to a Fund by its service providers.
11.    Change in Accounting Principle
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) — Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). For callable debt securities held at a premium that have explicit, non-contingent call features and that are callable at fixed prices on preset dates, ASU 2017-08 requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The adoption resulted in a change in accounting principle, since the Funds had historically amortized such premiums to maturity for U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, SPDR SSGA Ultra Short Term Bond ETF has adopted ASU 2017-08 to amend the premium amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities with non-contingent call features to the earliest call date. In accordance with the transition provisions of the standard, the Fund applied the amendments on a modified retrospective basis by recognizing a cumulative effect adjustment that decreased the beginning of period cost of investments and increased the unrealized appreciation on investments by $3,035.
This change in accounting policy has been made to comply with the newly issued accounting standard and had no impact on total accumulated earnings (loss) or the net asset value of the Fund. With respect to the the Fund's results of operations, amortization of premium to first call date accelerates amortization with the intent of more closely aligning the recognition of income on such bonds with the economics of the instrument.
12.    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.

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, 2020, 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, 2020, 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, 2020, 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, 2020 to June 30, 2020.
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.

OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

Approval of Advisory Agreement
At meetings held prior to June 30, 2020, 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 meetings. 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:
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 5-year and since inception periods, but outperformed the benchmark index for the 1- and 3-year 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 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 Ultra Short Term Bond 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 outperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3-, 5-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 most recent 1-year period, but outperformed its benchmark index for the 3-, 5-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-, 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 MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 5-year period, but underperformed 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 3-and 5-year and since inception periods, but underperformed its benchmark index for the most recent 1-year period.
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. 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
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

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

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 meetings held prior to June 30, 2020, 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 (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.

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 Funds are actively managed, they are therefore subject to the risk that the investments selected by SSGA may cause the Funds 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.

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. Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") is designed to measure 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 Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Financial Services, LLC, and Fitch Inc.) government bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, mortgage pass through securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and other asset backed securities that are publicly for sale in the United States.
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.

SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF
Management Discussion Of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide excess return by tactically allocating among income and yield-generating ETFs based on a proprietary process that combines quantitative and qualitative analysis. The Fund’s benchmark is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 6.42%, and the Index was 8.74%. 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 fixed income sectors including short, intermediate and long term US government bonds, investment grade and high yield corporate bonds, as well mortgage backed securities were all primary drivers of Fund performance during the Reporting Period. Financial markets experienced a considerable increase in volatility over the year, particularly in the second half as social distancing and other mobility restrictions enacted to slow the spread of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused significant harm to the global economy. With investors seeking safety in government bonds, the Federal Reserve (Fed) aggressively cutting interest rates and other measures of fiscal and monetary support, the decline in yields over the period led to positive returns for most allocations within the Fund. Nonetheless, some allocations still weighed against benchmark relative performance. With an increasing concern over interest rate volatility at the long end of the government bond curve, the Fund limited holdings to long term treasury bonds in the second half of the period, locking in earlier losses in the asset class. Holdings in treasury bills, while providing a reasonable cushion against more volatile investments within the Fund, contributed only modestly to total return as interest rates moved to near zero for the period. Corporate bonds were also impacted negatively as a result of the COVID induced economic freeze, as strong investor risk-off sentiment initially prompted outflows and volatility caused spreads to widen significantly. As such, the Fund’s holdings in high yield bonds saw only a small contribution to return as they lagged the broader benchmark overall. On the positive side, the Fed’s announcement of corporate credit facilities in Q1 2020 aided the credit sector, effectively encouraging new issuance, narrowing spreads, lowering transaction costs and easing liquidity strain. This benefited Fund investments in intermediate and long term investment grade bonds, both of which were positive contributors overall to return. Similarly, Fed quantitative easing polices aimed at keeping interest rates low and stable helped lift returns for Fund investment in both intermediate government and mortgage backed bonds.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.
On an individual security level, the bottom contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were the SPDR Portfolio Long Term Treasury ETF, the SPDR Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF and the SPDR Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Bond ETF. The top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were the SPDR Portfolio Intermediate Term Treasury ETF, the SPDR Portfolio Mortgage Backed Bond ETF and the SPDR Portfolio Intermediate Term Corporate Bond ETF.
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 US Sector Rotation ETF
Management Discussion Of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
The SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation. The Fund’s benchmark is the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 8.52%, and the Index was 7.51%. 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.
Active allocation across US sectors was the primary driver of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. Financial markets experienced a considerable increase in volatility over the year, particularly in the second half as social distancing and other mobility restrictions enacted to slow the spread of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused significant harm to the global economy. After hitting all time highs in the middle of February, the S&P 500 fell precipitously over the next four weeks with the combination of pandemic controls, an oil price war and a liquidity crisis driving prices down close to 30%. Strong global policy responses both fiscal and monetary stabilized markets and helped set the stage for a vigorous rally into the second quarter. Dispersion across sectors was high with Information Technology up close to 36% while Energy was down nearly the same.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2020

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, 2020, 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.
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
17

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2020

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:
•  Equity investments (including registered investment companies that are exchange-traded funds) traded on a recognized securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last published sale price or at fair value.
•  Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“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;
18


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2020

•  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, 2020, 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. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.
Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Funds within the Trust.
Equalization
The Funds follow the accounting practice known as “Equalization” by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring Fund shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of distributable net investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or reacquisition of Fund shares. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Distributions
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly.
19


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2020

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, 2020, the net annualized advisory fee was 0.31%, and 0.49%, respectively.
The Adviser pays all expenses of each Fund other than the management fee, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including any Trustee’s counsel fees), 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.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2020

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, 2020 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, 2020, 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.
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, non-deductible excise tax paid 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.

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, 2020, 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 from the non-cash collateral and the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as lending agent.
The following is a summary of each Fund’s securities lending agreements and related cash and non-cash collateral received as of June 30, 2020:

9.    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
Each Fund's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. Each Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious

illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to a Fund by its service providers.
10.    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.

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, 2020, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the year then ended June 30, 2020, and the period from April 2, 2019 (inception date) to June 30, 2019, the financial highlights for the year then ended June 30 2020, and 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, 2020, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for the year then ended June 30, 2020, and the period from April 2, 2019 (inception date) to June 30, 2019, and their financial highlights for the year then ended June 30, 2020, and 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.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

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, 2020, 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, 2020 to June 30, 2020.
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.

Approval of Advisory Agreement
At meetings held prior to June 30, 2020, 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 SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF and the SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation 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) fees charged to comparable funds, (iii) other benefits to the Adviser, and (iv) 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 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 meetings. The Board reviewed the Agreement and the Adviser’s anticipated responsibilities for managing investment operations of each of the Funds in accordance with each Fund’s investment objective and policies, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Board appreciated the nature of each Fund 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 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 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
33


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)

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 and managing exchange-traded funds.
Investment Performance
The Board then reviewed the Funds’ performance. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to the performance of an appropriate benchmark (gross of expenses). The Board noted that because the Fund did not have a full calendar year of performance, a comparison against a group of comparable funds was not available.
The Board considered that each Fund had outperformed its benchmark index since inception and also noted that each Fund’s performance information was limited due to the short time period since such Fund’s inception.
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. 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
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.

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

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.
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate 1-3 Year Index provides a measure of the performance of the U.S. dollar denominated investment grade bond market that have a remaining maturity of greater than or equal to 1 year and less than 3 years.
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index is designed to measure the performance of the U.S. dollar denominated investment grade bond market which includes investment grade government bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, mortgage pass through securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and other asset backed securities that are publicly for sale in the United States. The Index is market capitalization weighted and the securities in the Index are updated on the last business day of each month.

SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF
Management 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 Market Bond Index Broad Diversified (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was –0.04%, and the Index was 3.74%. 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.
Higher allocation to Latin America credits, lower allocation to the Middle East and Europe credits, and shorter duration positioning were the primary drivers of Fund underperformance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. Larger weighting to investment grade (IG) credits benefited performance relative to the Index. Over the 12-month period, U.S. Treasury yields fell sharply while IG credits outperformed their high yield counterparts.
Notes:
EM sovereign and corporate external bonds posted positive performance in the 12-month period ended June 30, 2020 against a backdrop of a severe shock to global growth and commodity prices induced by the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, significant fiscal and monetary policy responses by governments and central banks in developed and emerging markets, and elevated US-China trade tensions.
The Index’s positive return in the 12-month period was driven by lower Treasury yields, which offset spread performance, with the spread over U.S. Treasuries widening 106 bps to 439 bps.
The Middle East was the best performing region across the corporate index, while Latin America was the worst performing region.
The U.S. Treasury curve steepened over the 12-month period. 2 year UST yields fell 161 bps over the 12-month period to end at 0.15%, while 10 year UST yields fell 135 bps over the 12-month period to end at 0.66%.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.
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 DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF
Management 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, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 2.43%, and the Index was 4.00%. 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 primary drivers of underperformance were asset allocation and a lack of overlap between the assets that the Federal Reserve began purchasing and the assets held in the portfolio. In terms of asset allocation, the Index maintained an approximately 49.53% allocation to U.S. Treasuries, while the portfolio allocation was approximately 30.50%, causing significant underperformance.
The Emerging Market Corporate bonds and Investment Grade Corporate bonds were the best-performing sector despite credit spreads finishing the period wider. The primary driver of Investment Grade Corporate bond performance was the Federal Reserve introducing a newfound program to purchase corporate bonds. The target allocation of both sectors over the reporting period remained unchanged. The U.S. Treasury allocation delivered strong positive returns during a period when Treasury yields fell significantly, and in conjunction with the actions of the Federal Reserve to purchase U.S. Treasuries. The target allocation increased by 2.50% to a total weighting of 30.50%. As of June 30th, 2020, the fund’s allocation to RMBS was a 25.60% Agency and 2.10% Non-Agency split. This represents a 1.40% smaller combined allocation than when the period began. Agency MBS was a strong contributor to performance as a result of the actions of the Federal Reserve to purchase Agency MBS, as well as the flight-to-quality in late February. Non-Agency MBS also delivered positive returns, though underperformed Agency MBS, as forbearance rates increased - driving credit spreads wider. High Yield Corporate bond performance remained unchanged, resulting from the support of the Federal Reserve. Asset-Backed Securities delivered negative returns as credit spreads widened significantly, in response to the pandemic lockdowns. The worst-performing sector over the period was CMBS. The sector was severely challenged due to its concentration to retail and hospitality, and also did not receive support from the Federal Reserve.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.

SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF
Management 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, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund as measured by NAV was 4.13%, and the Index was 8.74%. 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.
Agency RMBS and U.S. Treasuries, which were the two largest sectors of the Fund, were the best performers over the period as investors fled risk assets in favor of higher quality assets amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. Investment Grade Corporates experienced strong returns as well and benefitted from the significant decrease in U.S. Treasury yields over the period. CMBS and ABS were the primary detractors from performance as office space, hospitality, retail, and air transport were among the hardest hit economic sectors from the Coronavirus. Higher beta corporate sectors such as Emerging Market Debt, High Yield Corporates, and Bank Loans also underperformed as investors remained concerned and about the duration and economic impact of COVID-19. In aggregate, underperformance was driven by the Fund’s shorter duration and overweight credit positioning relative to the benchmark during a period where risk asset spreads widened materially and U.S. Treasury yields fell to all-time lows.
The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the Reporting Period.
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.

SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2020

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, 2020, 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.
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
72


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2020

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:
•  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.
•  Government and municipal fixed income securities are generally valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers. Certain government inflation-indexed securities may require a calculated fair valuation as the cumulative inflation is contained within the price provided by the pricing service or broker. For these securities, the inflation component of the price is “cleaned” from the pricing service or broker price utilizing the published inflation factors in order to ensure proper accrual of income.
•  Debt obligations (including short-term investments) are valued using quotations from independent pricing services or brokers or are generally valued at the last reported evaluated 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.
73


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2020

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 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, 2020, 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 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, 2020, 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
75

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 Total Return Tactical ETF 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 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
With respect to each Fund, the management fee is reduced by any acquired fund fees and expenses attributable to the Funds’ investments in other investment companies. The Adviser pays all expenses of each Fund 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 may, from time to time, waive all or a portion of its fee. The Adviser has agreed to pay all costs associated with the organization of the Trust and each Fund. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of 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 each Fund until October 31, 2020.
Additionally, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses, until October 31, 2020, 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, before application of any fees and expenses not paid by the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, if any 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. These waivers and/or reimbursements do not provide for the recoupment by the Adviser of any amounts waived or reimbursed. The Adviser may
77

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2020

continue each waiver and/or reimbursement from year to year, but there is no guarantee that the Adviser will do so and after October 31, 2020, each waiver and/or reimbursement may be canceled or modified at any time. These waivers and/or reimbursements may not be terminated prior to October 31, 2020, except with the approval of the Board. The total amount of expenses waived for each fund for the period ended June 30, 2020 has been disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
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, 2020 are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.
Due to Custodian
In certain circumstances, the Funds may have cash overdrafts with the custodian due to expense payments, capital transactions, trading of securities, investment operations or derivative transactions. The Due to custodian amount, if any, reflects cash overdrawn with State Street, as custodian, who is an affiliate of the Funds.
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.

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.
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
79

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, defaulted bonds, amortization and accretion of premium and discount for financial statement purposes and wash sales.

9.    Line of Credit
The Funds and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) have access to $200 million of 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 2020 unless extended or renewed.
The Funds had no outstanding loans as of June 30, 2020.
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
81

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.
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
Each Fund's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. Each Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve
82


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2020

in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to a Fund by its service providers.
11.    Change in Accounting Principle
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) — Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). For callable debt securities held at a premium that have explicit, non-contingent call features and that are callable at fixed prices on preset dates, ASU 2017-08 requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The adoption resulted in a change in accounting principle, since the Funds had historically amortized such premiums to maturity for U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF, SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF and SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF have adopted ASU 2017-08 to amend the premium amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities with non-contingent call features to the earliest call date. In accordance with the transition provisions of the standard, the Funds applied the amendments on a modified retrospective basis by recognizing a cumulative effect adjustment that decreased the beginning of period cost of investments and increased the unrealized appreciation on investments by $45, $314 and $14,236, respectively.
This change in accounting policy has been made to comply with the newly issued accounting standard and had no impact on total accumulated earnings (loss) or the net asset value of the Funds. With respect to the the Funds' results of operations, amortization of premium to first call date accelerates amortization with the intent of more closely aligning the recognition of income on such bonds with the economics of the instrument.
12.    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.

To the Shareholders of SPDR DoubleLine Emerging Markets Fixed Income ETF, SPDR DoubleLine Short Duration Total Return Tactical ETF and 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, 2020, 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, 2020 (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, 2020, 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.

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, 2020, 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 and schedule of investments in securities. 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, 2020 to June 30, 2020.
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.

Approval of Advisory Agreement
At meetings held prior to June 30, 2020, 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
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 meetings. 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

Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

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 the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the most recent 1-year period, but underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 2- and 3- year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1-and 3-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 equaled the median of its Performance Group for the 3- and 4-year periods. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the most recent 1-year period, but outperformed its benchmark index 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-, 2- and 3-year periods, In addition, the Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the 1- and 3-year periods, but outperformed its benchmark index for the since inception period.
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

Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

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. 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 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 meetings held prior to June 30, 2020, 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 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

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.

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of a Fund’s annual and semi- annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Fund (or from your financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank). Instead, the reports will be made available on a Fund’s website (www.ssga.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.

Notes 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 dedicated to utilizing its unique datasets on loans to become the premier provider of independent and objective loan indices for trading, product structuring, and benchmarking.
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 investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund’s primary benchmark is the Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Leveraged Loan Index (the “Index”).
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was –1.23%, and the Index was 3.08%. 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 loans rated single-B and below and the energy and industrials sectors were the primary positive drivers of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. An underweight allocation to BB-rated loans, which outperformed the broader market, as well as negative credit selection within the consumer and information technology sectors, were the primary detractors from performance during the 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 Univision Communications, Inc. Term Loan, Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC Term Loan, and CenturyLink, Inc. Term Loan. The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Travelport Finance Second Lien Term Loan, Envision Healthcare Corp. Term Loan, and Asurion LLC Second Lien Term Loan.
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, 2020

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, 2020, 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.
Prior to the close of business on September 6, 2019, the Fund had been operating in a “master-feeder” arrangement, under which the Fund invested substantially all of its assets in the Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a separate series of SSGA Master Trust. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio.
As of the close of business on September 6, 2019, the securities held by the Portfolio were transferred “in-kind” to the Fund in a tax-free exchange of the Fund’s interests as part of a complete liquidation of the Portfolio.
Effective September 9, 2019, the Fund no longer operates in a master-feeder arrangement, and 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 had no impact on the Fund’s shareholders, the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) or the results of operations for the 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. The Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation
The Fund's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of the Fund are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
•  Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”) per share or unit.
•  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.
37


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2020

In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that the application of these valuation methods results in a price for an investment that is deemed to be not representative of the fair value of such investment, fair value will be determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the Fund's NAV and the prices used by the Fund's underlying benchmark.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.
The Fund values its assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
•  Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
•  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
The value of the Fund’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2020, is disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from security transactions, prior to September 9, 2019, consisted of the Fund’s allocated amount of the Portfolio’s realized gains and
38


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2020

losses. Effective September 9, 2019, realized gains and losses from the sale and disposition of investments are determined using the identified cost method. For activity prior to September 9, 2019, net investment income consists of the Fund’s allocated amount of the net investment income of the Portfolio less expenses of the Fund. Effective September 9, 2019, dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, 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 Fund within the Trust. Class specific expenses are borne by each class.
The Fund was allocated a pro-rata share of the expenses of the Portfolio prior to September 6, 2019.
Equalization
The Fund follows the accounting practice known as “Equalization” by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring Fund shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of distributable net investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or reacquisition of Fund shares. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
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.

3.    Securities and Other Investments
Loan Agreements
The Fund invests in Senior Loans. Senior Loans consist generally of obligations of companies and other entities (collectively, “borrowers”) incurred for the purpose of reorganizing the assets and liabilities of a borrower; acquiring another company; taking over control of a company (leveraged buyout); temporary refinancing; or financing internal growth or other general business purposes. Senior Loans are often obligations of borrowers who have incurred a significant percentage of debt compared to their total assets and thus are highly leveraged. The Fund does not treat the banks originating or acting as agents for the lenders, or granting or acting as intermediary in participation interests, in loans held by the Fund as the issuers of such loans.
4.    Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory Fee
The 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%
From time to time, the Adviser may waive all or a portion of its management fee. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of 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 Fund until October 31, 2020. 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, 2020 except with the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
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), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

7.    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.
8.    Income Tax Information
The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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.

9.    Line of Credit
The Fund and other affiliated funds (each a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) participate in a $500 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks under which the Participants may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. The Fund has exclusive access to $300 million of the total credit facility. This agreement expires in October 2020 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. SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF 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 Fund has no outstanding loans as of June 30, 2020.
10.    Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Fund'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 Fund’s investments more than if the Fund was more broadly diversified.
Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk
Investing in foreign markets involves risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of government regulation, economic, political and social instability in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign markets may be less liquid than investments in the U.S. and may be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations. To the extent that a Fund invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be even more pronounced.
Credit Risk
The Fund may be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Market Risk
The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to a Fund by its service providers.
11.    Change in Accounting Principle
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) — Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). For callable debt securities held at a premium that have explicit, non-contingent call features and that are callable at fixed prices on preset dates, ASU 2017-08 requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The adoption resulted in a change in accounting principle, since the Funds had historically amortized such premiums to maturity for U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, has adopted ASU 2017-08 to amend the premium amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities with non-contingent call features to the earliest call date. In accordance with the transition provisions of the standard, the Fund applied the amendments on a modified retrospective basis that resulted in no cumulative effect adjustment to the beginning of period cost of investments.
45


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
June 30, 2020

This change in accounting policy has been made to comply with the newly issued accounting standard and had no impact on total accumulated earnings (loss) or the net asset value of the Fund. With respect to the the Fund's results of operations, amortization of premium to first call date accelerates amortization with the intent of more closely aligning the recognition of income on such bonds with the economics of the instrument.
12.    Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of 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, 2020, 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, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 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, 2020, by
47

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, 2020 to June 30, 2020.
The table below illustrates your Fund's cost in two ways:
Based on actual fund return ——This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund's actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.
Based on hypothetical 5% return ——This section is intended to help you compare your Fund's costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund's actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your Fund's costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Approval of Advisory Agreements
At meetings held prior to June 30, 2020, 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 Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF, 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 meetings. 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 appreciated the nature of the Fund 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, oversight of sub-advisers 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
52


Table of Contents
SSGA ACTIVE TRUST
OTHER INFORMATION  (continued)
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

affiliates which make upState 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.
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 although the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1- and 5-year periods, it outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 2-, 3- and 4-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 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.
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., 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. 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
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 relatively low advisory fees, effectively sharing the benefits of lower fees with the Fund from inception. The Adviser also asserted that one of the benefits of the unitary fee was to provide an unvarying expense structure, which could be lost or diluted with the addition of breakpoints. The Board noted that it intends to continue to monitor fees as the Fund grows in size and assess whether fee breakpoints may be warranted.
Conclusion
After weighing the foregoing factors, none of which was dispositive in itself and may have been weighed differently by each Trustee, the Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Agreement. 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) the fees paid to the Adviser adequately shared the economies of scale with respect to the Fund by way of the relatively low fee structure of the Trust.
Approval of GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC Sub-Advisory Agreement
At meetings held prior to June 30, 2020, the Board also evaluated proposals to continue the Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC (“GSO / Blackstone”) with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also met separately to

consider the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreement, 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 Agreement, the Board considered various factors, including the (i) nature, extent and quality of services provided by GSO / Blackstone with respect to the Fund under the GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreement and (ii) investment performance of the Fund. 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 Agreement and also considered that such fees would be paid directly by the Adviser and would not result in increased fees payable by the Fund.
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 Fund’s performance, noting that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory. The Board also considered the unitary fee paid to the Adviser by the 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 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 GSO / Blackstone Sub-Advisory Agreement. 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 Fund were appropriate; (b) the performance of the Fund had been satisfactory; (c) GSO / Blackstone’s fees for the Fund 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 the 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.
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 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, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Portfolio was 3.50%, and the Index was 2.84%. 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 risk, sector and stock positionings were primary drivers of Portfolio performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index. The defensive objective of the strategy drove the portfolio to overweight lower risk stocks and underweight high risk stocks. Higher risk stocks had generally outperformed lower risk stocks during the reporting period so the tilt to low risk resulted in relative performance headwind versus the market. The portfolio’s sector allocation contributed positively to active performance. The underweight to poor performing Energy sector added value. Overweight of Healthcare sector also added value as the sector returned the second best performance during the Reporting Period. However, our underweight of the best performing Information Technology universe detracted value. Finally, our active stock selection process contributed to underperformance as value stocks that are highly favored by our process lagged the market substantially.
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 Eli Lilly & Co, Swedish Match AB and Target Corp. The top negative contributors to the Portfolio’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Swiss Re AG, Allianz SE and Sysco Corp.
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, 2020

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, 2020, 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, 2020

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, 2020 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, 2020, 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, 2021 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, a separate series of State Street Institutional Investment Trust. This waiver may not be terminated prior to April 30, 2021 except with the approval of 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, 2020. 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, 2020 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, 2020, fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser, pursuant to the agreement, were $5,725.
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, 2020, are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
Due to Custodian
In certain circumstances, the Portfolio may have cash overdrafts with the custodian due to expense payments, capital transactions, trading of securities, investment operations or derivative transactions. The Due to custodian amount, if any, reflects cash overdrawn with State Street, as custodian, who is an affiliate of the Portfolio.

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, 2020, were as follows:
  Purchases   Sales
State Street Defensive Global Equity Portfolio

$1,260,086   $1,329,371
6.    Income Tax Information
The Portfolio has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Portfolio will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.
The Portfolio files federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. 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 net asset values or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency gains and losses, passive foreign investment company gains and losses, distribution redesignations and wash sales.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended June 30, 2020, was as follows:
  Ordinary

  Long-Term

State Street Defensive Global Equity Portfolio

$90,226   $98,214   $188,440

7.    Line of Credit
The Portfolio and other affiliated funds (each, a “Participant” and collectively, the “Participants”) have access to $200 million of 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 2020 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, 2020.
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.
Credit Risk
The Portfolio may be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Market Risk
The Portfolio's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Portfolio and its investments.
An outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruptions to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has

been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the Portfolio by its service providers.
9.    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 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, 2020, 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 four 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, 2020, 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 four 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, 2020, 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, 2020 to June 30, 2020.
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 Agreement
At meetings held prior to June 30, 2020, 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 meetings. 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 outperformed the median of its Performance Group for the 1-, 2- and 3-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark 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 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. 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.

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, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the aggregate audit fees billed for professional services rendered by the principal accountant were $273,506 and $257,071, 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, 2020 and June 30, 2019, 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.

(d) All Other Fees.

There were no other fees billed by the principal accountant for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

(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, audit-related or permissible non-audit services, either:

 

  (a)

The Audit Committee shall pre-approve all audit, audit-related and permissible non-audit 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 audit, audit-related 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)

Pre-Approval for a service provided to the Trust other than audit or audit-related services is not required if: (1) the aggregate amount of all such permissible 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 permissible non-audit services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by the Trust at the time of the engagement to be permissible 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 (the “De Minimis Exception”).

 

  (d)

The Audit Committee shall pre-approve any permissible 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 permissible non-audit services that need to be pre-approved.

 

  (e)

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.

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed for by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser were as follows:

(1)

Information is for the calendar years 2019 and 2018, respectively.

(2)

Services under the caption Audit-Related Fees consisted principally of reports on the processing of transactions by servicing organizations, audits of employee benefit plan, non-statutory audits and due diligence procedures. Services under the caption Tax Fees consisted principally of expatriate, compliance and corporate tax advisory services. Services under the caption All Other Fees primarily related to statutory and financial statement audits and the requirement to opine on the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

(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.

Item 5. Audit Committees of Listed Registrants.
