Elfun International Equity Fund

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance — December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

 

The Elfun International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term growth of capital and future income by investing principally in foreign securities consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The Fund’s benchmark is the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Index”).

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 13.31%, and the Index was 7.82%. 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.

After the COVID-19-driven market plunge early in 2020, the market recovered strongly finishing the year up significantly for the full year. The Fund outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. In a volatile year, the Fund had eight different industries represented in the top ten stock contributors, a testament to strong stock selection across the research and portfolio management team. Primary drivers of Fund performance relative to the Index during the Reporting Period included the positive impact of technology sector selection and allocation, and outperformance in industrials outside of aerospace; while the Fund’s exposure to aerospace detracted. In technology, the Fund benefitted both from a substantial overweight position as investment technology was the top performing sector in the Index and experienced outperformance within the sector. The Fund had a diverse range of outperforming positions in the sector including semiconductor companies like ASML (Netherlands), TSMC (Taiwan), and Disco (Japan); and electronic equipment producers like Murata (Japan), Keyence (Japan), and Hexagon (Sweden). In industrials, Schneider Electric (France) and Daikin Industries (Japan) were among the leading contributors to relative return during the Reporting Period. Both companies have benefitted from optimism on a recovery from the COVID-19 recession, most notably in China. However, the aerospace segment of industrials detracted as the Fund’s holdings in Safran (France) and Airbus (France) lagged. Both companies have been impacted by the COVID-19 related slowdown in air travel. The Fund has reduced its exposure to the industry by exiting Airbus.

The Fund used futures in order to efficiently manage cash flows due to subscriptions and redemptions during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s use of futures had a negligible impact on Fund performance.

On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were ASML, LVMH, and Daikin Industries. The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Airbus, Suzuki Motors, and ING.

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.

Elfun International Equity Fund

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following 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.

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in units of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2020.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second 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.

Elfun Trusts

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance — December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

 

The Elfun Trusts (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term growth of capital and future income rather than current income. The Fund’s benchmark is the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”).

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 25.07%, and the Index was 18.40%. 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.

After the COVID-19-driven market plunge early in 2020, the market recovered strongly finishing the year up significantly for the full year. The Fund outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. In a volatile year, the Fund added value in nine of eleven sectors and had eight different industries represented in the top ten stock contributors, a testament to strong stock-picks across the research and portfolio management team. The primary drivers of the outperformance came from stock selection in the consumer discretionary, industrials and financials sectors, while healthcare stock selection detracted from performance. In consumer discretionary, long-time Fund holding Amazon.com was a key beneficiary of pandemic driven lockdowns, which drove an increase in online spending. In addition, the Fund’s holdings in higher quality retailers like Lowes and Ross Stores did well in the market recovery. The Fund also largely avoided the worst-hit consumer segments such as cruise lines. In industrials, the Fund benefitted from positions in quality cyclical names such as United Rentals, Trane Technologies, and Honeywell, while avoiding the hard-hit aerospace segment. Bank stocks were particularly weak during the Reporting Period as they were impacted by falling rates and economic headwinds. The Fund is overweight banks but has exposure to the specialty regional bank First Republic Bank, which significantly outperformed the weak performing major banks. The positive financials attribution was also helped by significant outperformance of holdings in S&P Global and Chubb. In healthcare, Merck and Boston Scientific dragged on performance. Both companies were negatively impacted by COVID-19 as they experienced pandemic related declines across drugs and medical device sales that we would expect to recover as pent-up demand for these products return. Within healthcare, these negatives were offset by a positive contribution from Gilead, which benefited from the COVID-19 treatment Remdesivir.

On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Amazon.com, Apple, and Microsoft. The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period were Schlumberger, Chevron, and JPMorgan Chase.

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.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following 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.

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in units of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2020.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second 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.

The Elfun Diversified Fund (the “Fund”) seeks the highest total return consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital (total return includes both income and capital appreciation). The Fund’s benchmarks are the S&P 500 Index, MSCI ACWI ex USA Investable Market Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Indices”).

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 12.23%, and the returns for the S&P 500 Index, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Investable Market Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index were 18.40%, 11.12% and 7.51%, respectively. 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 Indices are unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.

The biggest drivers of the Fund’s performance were its positions in the S&P 500® Index and the MSCI ACWI ex USA Investable Market Index both of which posted strong positive returns for the year. Additionally, investments in fixed income securities also produced positive absolute returns.

The Fund began the year with an overweight to cash and U.S. and international equities offset with an underweight to fixed income. The pandemic induced equity selloff in the latter half of the first quarter resulted in an underweight in the portfolio to both U.S. and International equities and an overweight to fixed income. In March, amid the equity drawdown, the Fund reduced its overweight to cash to increase equity exposure while keeping the underweight to fixed income. The strong rebound in the second quarter resulted in the equity overweight increasing further. A tactical reduction in equity was implemented in May to position the portfolio in line with benchmark weights. Toward the end of the third quarter the reduced the fixed income exposure, opening a modest underweight, while using the proceeds to increase the equity allocation. In November, as the fourth quarter rally gained steam, the Fund further reduced the fixed income exposure increasing the underweight to the asset class while opening an overweight to U.S. equities. The equity markets posted strong returns to close the year, and the Fund finished the year with an overweight to International and U.S. equity, and an underweight to fixed income.

2020 was an unprecedented year for global markets. Little in the way of diagnostics are needed to ascertain the source of the havoc that was wreaked upon capital markets during the first quarter of 2020. The spread of COVID-19 served as the proximate source, but it was the treatment in the form of social distancing, temporary lock-downs and quarantines and other mobility restrictions that inflicted significant harm to the global economy and financial markets. Amid the shock to markets and economies in March, policy makers globally responded with unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus, which helped stem the fallout and led to a recovery over the final nine months. Despite a tumultuous ride which included the shortest bear market in history, 2020 delivered positive returns for every asset class in the Fund.

In the U.S., equity markets built upon their late 2019 momentum through the first half of January. Relatively upbeat fourth quarter earnings alongside rebounding December retails sales and a big positive surprise from the Philly Fed Business Outlook Survey helped lift US large cap equities to new highs in the middle of the month. However, the optimism was derailed amidst increased risk-aversion over concerns surrounding the spreading coronavirus. By March 11th, the WHO declared the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic and the Dow Jones Industrial Index had fallen by 20%, technically entering a bear market. Significant monetary and fiscal policies would be announced boosting sentiment, but it would not be enough to prevent equities from posting some of the worst quarterly returns in recent memory. For the first quarter the S&P 500 was down 19.69%, and small cap stocks as represented by the Russell 2000 were down 30.61%.

Equity markets would rebound strongly in the second and third quarters bolstered by the unprecedented action of Congress and the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), which injected trillions of dollars into the economy to provide emergency income for unemployed workers and to help keep businesses afloat. Encouraging economic data also contributed to the strong equity performance as U.S. labor market, retail sales and manufacturing data rebounded strongly in May. Markets showed no signs of slowing through most of the summer. In August, at the annual conference in Jackson Hole, the Fed introduced flexible average inflation targeting — allowing for higher inflation than traditionally targeted in order to drive a stronger labor market. Trading in equities got choppier into fall as fiscal support waned and services growth remained restricted given persistent and rising coronavirus cases.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance, continued — December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

 

The final quarter of the year saw housing and personal spending register robust gains. Risk assets rallied to close the year on positive news flow on vaccines and U.S. election results. Cyclical sectors registered strong gains with defensive sectors posting modest growth and small cap equities performed spectacularly erasing their underperformance versus large caps for the year. The S&P 500 Index gained 12.15% during the 4th quarter and gained 18.4% for the Reporting Period. The Russell 2000 Index returned an eye popping 31.37% during the fourth quarter and returned 19.96% for the Reporting Period.

Outside of the U.S., international equity markets posted positive annual performance boosted by a 4th quarter which yielded encouraging vaccine data, and U.S. dollar depreciation. European equity performance was negative through the first three quarters of 2020 but rallied in the final quarter on the back of positive vaccine news. The MSCI Europe Index posted a gain of 15.66% for the fourth quarter and returned 5.93% for the entirety of the Reporting Period. Emerging market equities had a particularly strong fourth quarter benefiting from a falling U.S. dollar and increasing global trade activity. The U.S. dollar declined by nearly 4% in the quarter, its weakest fourth quarter performance since 2003, amid increased risk appetite and continued monetary support. Meanwhile China continued its sustained economic recovery, led by growth in exports and manufacturing. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index, was up 19.77% for the quarter and returned 18.69% for the Reporting Period. Overall, international equity markets as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Investable Market Index posted a gain of 17.22% for the final quarter and was up 11.12% for the Reporting Period.

Within fixed income, momentum from the coronavirus outbreak and sudden oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia pressured U.S. rates in March, with the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury note sliding below 1% for the first time ever (as would the yield on the 30-Year U.S. Treasury bond for a brief period). Bond yields remained low through the second quarter as central banks introduced massive stimulus measures and cut policy rates. Against the backdrop of a risk-on sentiment, lower equity volatility and loosening financial conditions, spread products broadly outperformed government bonds during the second quarter. The U.S. Treasury curve initially flattened in the third quarter, but as the Average Inflation Targeting framework was announced by the Fed, it steepened again, ending the quarter roughly where it started. Spreads in credit saw modest tightening overall in the third quarter, albeit with bouts of volatility, in particular with a risk-off wave seen over the last few weeks of September.

The final quarter of the year saw the short end of the U.S. Treasury curve remain unchanged but yields on longer maturities drift higher. U.S. 10-year Treasury yields moved up by 24 bp to end at 0.93% for the year. On the year, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 7.51%.

The Fund used equity and treasury futures, interest rate swaps and other derivatives in order to actively manage equity exposure and duration during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s use of these derivatives contributed to Fund liquidity and exposure management versus utilizing cash instruments only.

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.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following 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.

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in units of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2020.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second 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.

Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance — December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

 

The Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide as high a level of current interest income exempt from federal income taxation as is available from a concentration of investments in municipal bonds consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The Fund’s benchmark is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”).

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 4.77% and the Index was 5.21%. The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.

2020 was unprecedented with the pandemic and economic shutdowns putting all the world’s economies on the same downward spiral at the end of the first quarter and has had lingering affects throughout this year. Though we did see a fast response from the world’s governments, the tax-exempt market experienced both liquidity pressures, which has persisted throughout the year, and uncommon market volatility creating a need to reman nimble in managing the fund. The actions by the Federal Reserve brought interest rates to historical lows leading to record issuance. The Tax-Exempt Market started the year very rich to treasuries but as we moved into the spring, tax-exempt municipals cheapened to historical levels driven by liquidity and market volatility pressure. As we closed out the year the tax-exempt market yields have returned to being rich compared to Treasuries.

During the past year, performance of the fund was influenced by both its defensive credit profile and the fund’s curve positioning which resulted in longer duration than the Index for the year. The Fund was positioned for a narrowing between short and long-term yields using a barbell approach with significant overweight in the front-end of the curve and an overweight in the long dated maturities to help maintain maximum tax-exempt income. During 2020 yields declined across the curve with the steepest decline in the short end of the curve. Although the funds positioning was constructive for the beginning of the year and at the end of the year, the strong performance in the front end of the curve diminished the Fund’s performance relative to the Index.

We remain focused on managing the Fund’s credit risk and generating income. The increased liquidity pressures and market volatility experienced during the past year led us to be more defensive in the Funds composition. We believe the fund is well positioned for the current market conditions. Tax-exempt ratios remain at multi-year tights and flows into the asset class continue at record levels. The continued demand for the asset class is related to individuals seeking to shelter income as well as demand from overseas investors seeking relief from negative yields. As such, conditions are supportive for the municipal market and the portfolio.

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.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following 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.

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in units of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2020.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second 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.

Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) are nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. The quality ratings represent the lower of Moody’s or S&P credit ratings. When a rating from only one of the rating agencies is available, that rating is used. Securities not rated by Moody’s or S&P are categorized as not rated. Credit quality measures a bond issuer’s ability to repay interest and principal in a timely manner. Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subject to change periodically and are not absolute standard of quality. In formulating investment decisions for the Fund, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM”) develops its own analysis of the credit quality and risks associated with individual debt instruments, rather than relying exclusively on rating agency ratings.

Elfun Income Fund

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance — December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

 

The Elfun Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high level of income consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The Fund’s benchmark is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”).

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 8.03% 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.

Asset allocation and security selection, which each had a positive impact, and duration, which had a negative impact, were the primary drivers of Fund performance during the Reporting Period relative to the Index.

During the reporting period, the Fund increased its over-weight asset allocation to credit sectors from modest levels after credit spreads widened substantially in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The U.S. government responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus, which included a Federal Reserve program to temporarily buy U.S. corporate credit bonds, causing credit spreads to tighten significantly in the last three quarters of the Reporting Period. Given the timing of management’s allocation increase to credit, the Fund’s allocation to credit generated positive excess returns to the Index despite the fact that credit spreads widened during the Reporting Period.

Security selection in the investment-grade credit and agency MBS allocations generated positive excess returns relative to the Index, which was offset by security selection in the treasury allocation, which generated negative excess returns relative to the Index.

Over the course of the Reporting Period, the ten-year government interest rate decreased from 1.92% to 0.92%. During the first quarter of 2020, we had the view that the Phase One trade agreement between the U.S. and China coupled with pent up private investment would lead to above trend growth. As such, we felt that long-term interest rates were near a cyclical low and established a short duration position relative to the Index. The COVID-19 global pandemic caused interest rates to decline significantly, negatively impacting the Fund’s performance relative to the Index.

The Fund used treasury futures, interest rate swaps, options on treasury futures and index credit default swaps in order to actively manage duration and credit spread duration during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s use of options on treasury futures contributed to Fund performance relative to the Index, while its use of treasury futures, interest rate swaps, and index credit default swaps detracted from Fund performance relative to the Index.

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.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following 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.

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in units of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2020.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second 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.

The Elfun Government Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) seeks a high level of current income consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The Fund’s benchmark is the Daily-Linked 90- Day T-Bill (the “Index”).

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), the total return for the Fund was 0.32%, and the Index was 0.38%. 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.

Over the course of 2020, the Fund achieved its primary objective of principal preservation and liquidity while generating a market rate of return. The Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) multiple rate cuts in response to the COVID-19 crisis was a primary driver of the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The Fed’s rate cuts brought the target interest rate range from 150-175 basis points to 0-25 basis points and money market yields followed accordingly. Throughout the year, the Fed continued to provide support to the markets as the pandemic escalated. Three month Treasury Bills declined from 1.57% at the beginning of the year, reaching a low of -0.13% at the height of March’s crisis before backing up to 0.05% in April, where they stayed through December. Year-end saw a notable absence of the usual funding pressure and liquidity conditions remained robust.

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.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, professional fees, administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The following 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.

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in units of the Fund during the period. The information in the following table is based on an investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2020.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 under the heading “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholders reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second 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.

Notes to Financial Statements — December 31, 2020

 

 

1.   Organization of the Funds

The Elfun International Equity Fund, Elfun Trusts, Elfun Diversified Fund, Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund, Elfun Income Fund and Elfun Government Money Market Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are each registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as open-end management investment companies. Each Fund is a diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act.

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

 

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their 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 of Trustees (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.

 

   

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.

Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price on the primary market on which they are traded most extensively. Exchange-traded futures contracts traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last reported sale price obtained from independent pricing services or brokers or at fair value.

 

   

Options on futures are priced at their last sale price on the principal market on which they are traded on the valuation date. If there were no sales on that day, options on futures are valued at either the last reported sale or official closing price on their primary exchange determined in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.

 

   

Swap agreements are valued daily based upon prices supplied by Board approved pricing vendors or through brokers. Depending on the product and terms of the transaction, the value of agreements is determined using a series of techniques including valuation models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, yields, curves, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. In the event SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) is unable to obtain an independent, third-party valuation the agreements will be fair valued.

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.

A “significant event” is an event that the Board believes, with a reasonably high degree of certainty, has caused the closing market prices of a Fund’s portfolio securities to no longer reflect their value at the time of the Fund’s NAV calculation. Fair value may be determined using an independent fair value service under valuation procedures approved by the Board. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of foreign securities exchanges. The use of the independent fair value service or alternative fair valuation methods would result in the investments being classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 December 31, 2020 is disclosed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments and foreign exchange transactions, if any, are determined using the identified cost method.

Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, 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.

Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock are recorded as dividend income at fair value.

Certain Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). REITs determine the tax character of their distributions annually and may characterize a portion of their distributions as a return of capital or capital gain. The Funds’ policy is to record all REIT distributions initially as dividend income and re-designate the prior calendar year’s to return of capital or capital gains distributions at year end based on information provided by the REITs and/or SSGA Funds Management, Inc’s. (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) estimates of such re-designations for which actual information has not yet been reported.

Expenses Fund specific expenses are charged to the Fund that incurs such expenses. Such expenses may include custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees. Expenses that are not Fund specific are allocated pro rata across the Funds.

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 December 31, 2020, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

3.   Securities and Other Investments

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities During the period, the Elfun Diversified Fund and Elfun Income Fund 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 the applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments. A Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to such purchase commitments, a Fund identifies securities as segregated in its 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.

To-Be-Announced Transactions Certain Funds may seek to obtain exposure to U.S. agency mortgage pass-through securities through the use of “to-be-announced” or “TBA transactions.” “TBA” refers to a commonly used

mechanism for the forward settlement of U.S. agency mortgage pass-through securities. In a TBA transaction, the buyer and seller decide on general trade parameters, such as agency, settlement date, coupon, and price.

A Fund may use TBA transactions to “roll over” such agreements prior to the settlement date. This type of TBA transaction is sometimes known as a “TBA roll.” In a TBA roll, a Fund generally will sell the obligation to purchase the pools stipulated in the TBA agreement prior to the settlement date and will enter into a new TBA agreement for future delivery of pools of mortgage pass-through securities. A Fund may also enter into TBA agreements and settle such transactions on the stipulated settlement date by accepting actual receipt or delivery of the pools of mortgage pass-through securities.

Default by or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose a Fund to possible loss because of adverse market action, expenses or delays in connection with the purchase or sale of the pools of mortgage pass-through securities specified in the TBA transaction. To minimize this risk, a Fund will enter into TBA transactions only with established counterparties. A Fund’s use of “TBA rolls” may impact portfolio turnover, transaction costs and capital gain distributions to shareholders.

Repurchase Agreements Certain Funds may enter into repurchase agreements under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement. A repurchase agreement customarily obligates the seller at the time it sells securities to a Fund to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon price and time. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of a Fund including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.

The applicable Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the Fund’s the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). The underlying securities are ordinarily United States Government or Government Agency securities, but may consist of other securities. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks including counterparty risks. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which the value of the collateral may decline.

As of December 31, 2020, the Elfun Government Money Market Fund had invested in repurchase agreements with the gross values of $25,369,000 and associated collateral equal to $25,921,302.

 

4.   Derivative Financial Instruments

Futures Contracts Certain Funds may enter into futures contracts to meet the Funds’ objectives. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the clearing house. Securities deposited, if any, are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is included in Net cash at broker for futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value, accumulated, exchange rates, and or other transactional fees. The accumulation of those payments are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. A Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.

Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to unfavorable changes in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk that the movements in the price of the futures contracts do not correlate with the movement of the assets underlying such contracts.

Credit Default Swaps During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Elfun Diversified Fund and Elfun Income Fund engaged in credit default swaps to manage credit risk. When a Fund is the buyer in a credit default swap contract, a Fund is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed upon) value (full notional value) of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty (or central clearing party (“CCP”) in the case of a centrally cleared swap) to the contract if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer or sovereign issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, a Fund pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, a Fund loses its investment and recovers nothing. However, if a credit event occurs, a Fund receives full notional value for a referenced debt obligation that may have little or no value. When a Fund is the seller of a credit default swap, it receives a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the contract, provided there is no credit event. If a credit event occurs, a Fund is obligated to pay the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that a Fund could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by a Fund for the same referenced obligation.

As the seller, a Fund may create economic leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, a Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. A Fund also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. For centrally cleared swaps, the daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the CCP daily. All upfront payments, if any, are amortized over the life of the swap as realized gains or losses. Those upfront payments that are paid or received, typically for non-centrally cleared swaps, are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, net of amortization. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments, if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swaps to determine the market value of swaps. A Fund segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller. A Fund segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to any unrealized depreciation of the credit default swaps of which it is the buyer, marked to market on a daily basis. Credit default swaps involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the referenced debt obligation directly. If a Fund is a buyer of a credit default swap and no credit event occurs, a Fund will not earn any return on its investment. If a Fund is a seller of a credit default swap, a Fund’s risk of loss may be the entire notional amount of the swap. Swaps may also subject a Fund to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction may not fulfill its obligation. In the case of centrally cleared swaps, counterparty risk is minimal due to protections provided by the CCP.

Interest Rate Swaps Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by a Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, such as an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Elfun Diversified Fund and Elfun Income Fund entered into interest rate swaps in order to manage exposure to interest rates.

Options on Exchanged-Traded Futures Contracts Certain Funds may purchase and write options, including options on exchanged-traded futures contracts, subject to certain limitations. Writing puts and buying calls tend to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument while buying puts and writing calls tend to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. A Fund will not enter into a transaction involving options for speculative purposes. A Fund’s risks in using these contracts include changes in the value of the underlying instruments, non-performance of the counterparties under the contracts’ terms and changes in the liquidity of the secondary market for the contracts.

When a Fund writes an option, the amount of the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by a Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase, as a realized loss. When an option is exercised, the proceeds from the sale of the underlying instrument or the cost basis of the securities purchased is adjusted by the original premium received or paid. In return for a premium paid, call and put options on futures contracts give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell, respectively, a position in a particular futures contract at a specified exercise price.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Elfun Diversified Fund and the Elfun Income Fund purchased options in order to manage interest rate risk.

The following tables summarize the value of the Funds’ derivative instruments as of December 31, 2020 and the related location in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

Each of the Adviser and State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors, LLC (each a “Service Provider”) also may voluntarily reduce all or a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses for the Elfun Government Money Market Fund to maintain a certain minimum net yield, which may vary from time to time, in SSGA FM’s sole discretion (any such waiver or reimbursement of expenses by a Service Provider being referred to herein as a “Voluntary Reduction”). Under an agreement with the Service Providers relating to the Voluntary Reduction, the Elfun Government Money Market Fund has agreed to reimburse the Service Providers for the full dollar amount of any Voluntary Reduction beginning on May 1, 2020, subject to certain limitations. Each Service Provider may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably waive receipt of any or all reimbursement amounts due from the Elfun Government Money Market Fund. A reimbursement to the Service Provider would increase fund expenses and may negatively impact the Elfun Government Money Market Fund’s yield during such period. There is no guarantee that the Voluntary Reduction will be in effect at any given time or that the Elfun Government Money Market Fund will be able to avoid a negative yield. Reimbursement payments by the Elfun Government Money Market Fund to the Service Providers in connection with the Voluntary Reduction are considered “extraordinary expenses” and are not subject to any contractual expense limitation agreement in effect for the Fund at the time of such payment. Fees reduced or expenses reimbursed for the Elfun Government Money Market Fund by the Service Providers in connection with the Voluntary Reduction for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 were $78,761. This amount is subject to recoupment by the Service Providers until December 31, 2023.

Custody, Fund Accounting and Sub-Administration Fees State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as the custodian, fund accountant and sub-administrator to the Funds. Amounts paid by the Funds to State Street for performing such services are included as custody, fund accounting and sub-administration fees in the Statements of Operations.

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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.

 

6.   Trustees’ Fees

The fees and expenses of each Fund’s trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, 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.

 

7.   Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions, short term investments and derivative contracts) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 were as follows:

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 of 1986, as amended. Each Fund will not be subject to the federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.

The Funds file federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — December 31, 2020

 

 

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 Funds’ 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 NAVs 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, foreign currency gains and losses, corporate actions, paydown losses, futures contracts, swap contracts, straddle loss deferrals, capital gain taxes, return of capital adjustments, premium amortization and wash sale loss deferrals.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 was as follows:

9.   Line of Credit

The Funds (excluding the Elfun Government Money Market Fund) 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 2021 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 1.25% plus the New York Fed Bank Rate. Prior to October 8, 2020, interest was calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1% plus the greater of the New York Fed Bank Rate and 1-month LIBOR rate.

The Funds had no outstanding loans as of December 31, 2020.

 

10.   Risks

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

Interest Rate Risk Is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. Bond prices generally rise when interest rates decline and generally decline when interest rates rise. Changes in governmental policy, including changes in central bank monetary policy, could cause interest rates to rise rapidly, or cause investors to expect a rapid rise in interest rates. This could lead to heightened levels of interest rate, volatility and liquidity risks for the fixed income markets generally and could have a substantial and immediate effect on the values of a Fund’s investments.

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 a 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 A 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 a Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Market Risk A Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, and 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 the Fund by its service providers.

 

11.   New Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance.

 

12.   Subsequent Events

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Elfun International Equity Fund, Elfun Trusts, Elfun Diversified Fund, Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund, Elfun Income Fund and Elfun Government Money Market Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Elfun International Equity Fund, Elfun Trusts, Elfun Diversified Fund, Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund, Elfun Income Fund and Elfun Government Money Market Fund (collectively referred to as the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 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 the Funds at December 31, 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 Funds’ 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 Funds 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 Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds’ 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 Funds’ 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 December 31, 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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds, excluding the Elfun Government Money Market Fund, have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”). SSGA FM has been designated by the Board to administer the Funds’ Program. The Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Fund. Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. During the fiscal year, SSGA FM provided the Board with a report addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and the effectiveness of the Program’s implementation for the period October 2019 through September 2020. As reported to the Board, the Program supported each Fund’s ability to honor redemption requests timely and SSGA FM’s management of each Fund’s liquidity profile, including during periods of market volatility. SSGA FM reported that the Program operated adequately to meet the requirements of Rule 22e-4 and that the implementation of the Program has been effective.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

Item 2.     Code of Ethics.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Elfun Income Fund (the “Fund,” “Fund Entity” or “Registrant”) has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR, 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”). That Code comprises written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote: (1) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (2) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Registrant files with, or submits to, the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Registrant; (3) compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations; (4) the prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of violations of the Code; and (5) accountability for adherence to the Code. The Code is combined with other mutual funds advised by SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”). The Registrant has not made any amendments to the Code that relates to any element of the code of ethics definition set forth in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR during the covered period. The Registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the Code during the covered period. A copy of the Code is filed as Exhibit 13(a)(1) to this Form N-CSR.

Item 3.     Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has determined that the Fund has the following “audit committee financial experts” as defined in Item 3(b) of Form N-CSR serving on its audit committee (the “Audit Committee”): Messrs. Michael F. Holland, Richard D. Shirk and John R. Costantino and Ms. Donna M. Rapaccioli. Each of the “audit committee financial experts” is “independent” as that term is defined in Item 3(a)(2) of Form N-CSR.

An “audit committee financial expert” is not an “expert” for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a result of being designated as an “audit committee financial expert.” Further, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not mean that the person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those imposed on the person without the “audit committee financial expert” designation. Similarly, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or the Board.

Table of Contents
 

and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund;

 

   

To establish, if deemed necessary or appropriate as an alternative to Audit Committee pre-approval of services to be provided by the independent auditor as required by paragraph (b) above, policies and procedures to permit such services to be pre-approved by other means, such as by action of a designated member or members of the Audit Committee, subject to the requirement that the decision of any member to whom authority is delegated to pre-approve an activity shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting;

Alternate Pre-Approval Procedure:

 

   

The Chairperson, or a Co-Chairperson, of the Audit Committee is authorized to pre-approve any engagement involving the Fund Entity’s independent auditors to the same extent as the Audit Committee.

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND

PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICERS

As of September 20, 2017

 

I.

Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

This Code of Conduct (the “Code”) shall apply to the Trust/Company’s Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Controller, Principal Accounting Officer and persons performing similar functions (the “Covered Officers,” each of whom is named in Exhibit A attached hereto) for the purpose of promoting:

 

 

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

 

full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Trust/Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Trust/Company;

 

 

compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

 

 

the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

 

 

accountability for adherence to the Code.

 

1 

Unless otherwise noted, the singular term “Trust/Company” used throughout this document means each of SSGA Funds, State Street Master Funds, State Street Institutional Investment Trust, State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust, Elfun Government Money Market Fund, Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund, Elfun Income Fund, Elfun Diversified Fund, Elfun International Equity Fund, Elfun Trusts, State Street Institutional Funds, and State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc.


Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

 

II.

Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

Overview. A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Trust/Company. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Trust/Company. Covered Officers must avoid conduct that conflicts, or appears to conflict, with their duties to the Trust/Company. All Covered Officers should conduct themselves such that a reasonable observer would have no grounds for belief that a conflict of interest exists. Covered Officers are not permitted to self-deal or otherwise to use their positions with the Trust/Company to further their own or any other related person’s business opportunities.

This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace the compliance programs and procedures or codes of ethics of the Trust/Company or the Trust/Company’s investment adviser or distributor.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Trust/Company and its service providers, including the investment adviser, of which the Covered Officers may be officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Trust/Company, the investment adviser, or other service providers), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the service providers and the Trust/Company. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Trust/Company and its service providers and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Trust/Company. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Trust/Company’s Board of Trustees/Directors (the “Board”) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Trust/Company.

*             *             *             *


Each Covered Officer must not:

 

 

use his personal influence or personal relationship improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Trust/Company whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Trust/Company;

 

 

cause the Trust/Company to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Trust/Company;

 

 

retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Trust/Company or its affiliated persons for reports of potential violations by the Trust/Company of applicable rules and regulations that are made in good faith; or

 

 

use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the series of the Trust/Company to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions.

Each Covered Officer must discuss certain material conflict of interest situations with the Trust/Company’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). Examples of such situations include:

 

 

service as a director, trustee, general partner, or officer of any unaffiliated business organization. This rule does not apply to charitable, civic, religious, public, political, or social organizations, the activities of which do not conflict with the interests of the Trust/Company;

 

 

the receipt of any gifts, excluding branded promotional items valued at U.S. $50 or less;

 

 

the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Trust/Company has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as raise any question of impropriety;

 

 

any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Trust/Company’s service providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator, sub-administrator, transfer agent, custodian or any affiliated person thereof; and

 

 

a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Trust/Company for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.


III.

Disclosure and Conduct

 

 

Each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Trust/Company to others, whether within or outside the Trust/Company, including to the Trust/Company’s Board, the Trust/Company’s Qualified Legal and Compliance Committee (“QLCC”) or, if the Trust/Company does not have a QLCC, the Trust/Company’s Audit Committee, and the Trust/Company’s independent auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

 

 

Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Trust/Company and its service providers with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Trust/Company files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Trust/Company.

 

 

Each Covered Officer will exhibit and promote the highest standards of honest and ethical conduct through the establishment and operation of policies and procedures that encourage professional integrity in all aspects of the Trust/Company’s operations.

 

IV.

Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations

 

 

The Trust/Company’s CCO is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. However, any approvals or waivers sought by the Covered Officers will be considered by the QLCC or, if the Trust/Company does not have a QLCC, the Trust/Company’s Audit Committee.

 

 

It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

 

In the event of any question of interpretation of the requirements under this Code, Covered Officers shall consult with the CCO in order to assure compliance with the Code.

 

V.

Reporting and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:

 

 

upon adoption of this Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), sign and return a report in the form of Exhibit B to the Trust/Company’s compliance officer affirming that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code;

 

 

annually sign and return a report in the form of Exhibit C or D to the Trust/Company’s compliance officer as an affirmation that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Code; and

 

 

notify the Trust/Company’s CCO promptly if he or she knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.


The Trust/Company will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

 

 

The CCO will take all appropriate actions to investigate any potential violations reported to him/her.

 

 

If, after such investigation, the CCO believes that no violation has occurred, the CCO is not required to take any further action.

 

 

Any matter that the CCO believes is a violation of this Code will be reported to the Trust/Company’s QLCC or, if the Trust/Company does not have a QLCC, the Trust/Company’s Audit Committee.

 

 

If the Board, after consultation with the QLCC or, if the Trust/Company does not have a QLCC, the Trust/Company’s Audit Committee, concurs that a violation has occurred, it will notify the appropriate personnel of the applicable service provider and may dismiss the Covered Officer as an officer of the Trust/Company.

 

 

The QLCC or, if the Trust/Company does not have a QLCC, the Trust/Company’s Audit Committee, will be responsible for granting waivers of provisions of this Code, as appropriate.

 

 

Any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

 

VI.

Other Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Trust/Company for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Trust/Company, the Trust/Company’s investment adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Trust/Company’s investment adviser’s and principal underwriter’s codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the investment adviser’s more detailed policies and procedures are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

 

VII.

Amendments

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of Independent Trustees/Directors.

 

VIII.

Confidentiality


All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Trust/Company’s Board, QLCC or Audit Committee.

 

IX.

Internal Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Trust/Company and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of the Trust/Company, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.

 

X.

Sanctions

Any violation of the rules and requirements set forth in this Code may result in the imposition of such sanctions as the Board, after review by the QLCC or, if the Trust/Company does not have a QLCC, the Trust/Company’s Audit Committee, and its recommendation to the Board, may deem appropriate under the circumstances. These sanctions can include, but are not limited to:

 

 

Dismissal for cause;

 

 

Removal or suspension from office;

 

 

Restitution to the damaged party; and/or

 

 

Monetary fines.
