EXAMPLE:
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in
the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, and then sell all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your
investment has a 5% return each year and that the Funds operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER:
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction
costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Funds performance. During the period from the
commencement of the Funds operations (May 29, 2013) to the end of the most recent fiscal year, the Funds portfolio turnover rate was 1% of the average value of its portfolio.
THE FUNDS PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY
In seeking to track the
performance of the Barclays 1-10 Year Government Inflation-linked Bond Index (the Index), the Fund employs a sampling strategy, which means that the Fund is not required to purchase all of the securities represented in the Index.
Instead, the Fund may purchase a subset of the securities in the Index in an effort to hold a

|
portfolio of securities with generally the same risk and return characteristics of the Index. The quantity of holdings in the Fund will be based on a number of factors, including asset size of
the Fund. Based on its analysis of these factors, SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (SSgA FM or the Adviser), the investment adviser to the Fund, may invest the Funds assets in a subset of securities in the Index or may
invest the Funds assets in substantially all of the securities represented in the Index in approximately the same proportions as the Index.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund generally invests substantially all, but at least 80%, of its total assets in the securities comprising the Index or in securities the Adviser determines
have economic characteristics substantially identical to the economic characteristics of the securities that comprise the Index. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days notice prior to any material change in this 80%
investment policy. In addition, the Fund may invest in debt securities that are not included in the Index, cash and cash equivalents or money market instruments, such as repurchase agreements and money market funds (including money market funds
advised by the Adviser).
The Index is designed to measure the performance of the inflation protected public obligations of the U.S.
Treasury commonly known as TIPS that have a remaining maturity greater than or equal to 1 year and less than 10 years. TIPS are securities issued by the U.S. Treasury that are designed to provide inflation protection to investors. The
Index includes publicly issued, TIPS that have at least 1 year remaining to maturity and less than 10 years on index rebalancing date, with an issue size equal to or in excess of $500 million. The total amount outstanding for each issue is
reflected, there are no adjustments made for sums held in the Federal Reserve System Open Market Account (SOMA) account. Bonds must be capital-indexed and linked to a domestic inflation index. The securities must be issued by the US Government and
must be denominated in U.S. dollars and pay coupon and principal in U.S. dollars. New bonds/ reopenings entering the Index must settle on or before the index rebalancing date. The Index is rebalanced on the last calendar date of each month. As
of September 30, 2013, the Index was comprised of 22 securities.
The Index is sponsored by Barclays, Inc. (the Index
Provider) which is not affiliated with the Fund or the Adviser. The Index Provider determines the composition of the Index and relative weightings of the securities in the Index and publishes information regarding the market value of the
Index.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND
As with all investments, there are certain risks of investing in the Fund, and you could lose money on an investment in the Fund.
PASSIVE STRATEGY/INDEX RISK:
The Fund is managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities. This differs from an actively managed fund, which
typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the Fund may hold constituent securities of the Index regardless of the current or projected performance of a specific security or a particular industry or market sector. Maintaining
investments in securities regardless of market conditions or the performance of individual securities could cause the Funds return to be lower than if the Fund employed an active strategy.
INDEX TRACKING RISK:
While the Adviser seeks to track the performance of the Index as closely as possible (
i.e.,
achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index), the Funds return may not
match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, regulatory requirements and operational inefficiencies. For example, the Adviser anticipates that it may take
several business days for additions and deletions to the Index to be reflected in the portfolio composition of the Fund.
INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES RISK:
Inflation protected securities, such as TIPS, generally fluctuate in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates represent nominal (stated) interest rates
reduced by the expected impact of inflation. Generally, an inflation protected securitys value will decrease when real interest rates rise and increase when real interest rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can
be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation. During periods of deflation, the principal and income of an inflation protected security may decline in price, which could result in losses for
the Fund.
DEBT SECURITIES INVESTING RISK:
The value of the debt securities may increase or decrease as a result of the following: market fluctuations, increases in interest rates, inability of issuers to repay principal and
interest or illiquidity in debt securities markets; the risk of low rates of return due to reinvestment of securities during periods of falling interest rates or repayment by issuers with higher coupon or interest rates; and/or the risk of low
income due

|
to falling interest rates. To the extent that interest rates rise, certain underlying obligations may be paid off substantially slower than originally anticipated and the value of those
securities may fall sharply. This may result in a reduction in income from debt securities income.
NON-DIVERSIFICATION RISK:
The Fund is non-diversified and may invest a larger percentage of its assets in securities
of a few issuers or a single issuer than that of a diversified fund. As a result, the Funds performance may be disproportionately impacted by the performance of relatively few securities.
FUND PERFORMANCE
The
Fund has not yet completed a full calendar year of investment operations and therefore does not have any performance history. Once the Fund has completed a full calendar year of operations, a bar chart and table will be included that will provide
some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the variability of the Funds returns based on net assets and comparing the Funds performance to the Index.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
INVESTMENT ADVISER
SSgA FM serves as the investment adviser to the Fund.
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
The professionals primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund are Peter R. Breault and Mahesh Jayakumar.
PETER R. BREAULT, CFA
is a Principal of SSgA FM and a Portfolio
Manager in the Fixed Income, Currency and Cash Investments Team. He joined the Adviser in 2012.
MAHESH JAYAKUMAR, CFA, FRM
is a Vice President of SSgA FM and a Portfolio Manager in the Fixed Income, Currency and Cash Investments
Team. He joined the Adviser in 2008.
PURCHASE AND SALE INFORMATION
The Fund will issue (or redeem) Shares to certain institutional investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of 100,000 Shares known as Creation
Units. Creation Unit transactions are typically conducted in exchange for the deposit or delivery of in-kind securities and/or cash constituting a substantial replication, or a representation, of the securities included in the Funds
benchmark Index.
Individual Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold on the NYSE Arca, Inc., other national securities
exchanges, electronic crossing networks and other alternative trading systems through your broker-dealer at market prices. Because Fund Shares trade at market prices rather than at net asset value (NAV), Shares may trade at a price
greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).
TAX INFORMATION
The Funds distributions are expected to be taxed as ordinary income and/or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or individual
retirement account.
