Notes to Performance | March 31, 2013 (Unaudited) |
Total return performance shown in this report for the GE Institutional Funds (the Funds, and individually, a Fund) takes into account changes in share price and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. Total returns shown are net of Fund expenses.
The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Periods less than one year are not annualized. Please call toll-free (800) 493-3042 or visit the Funds website at http://www.geam.com for the most recent month-end performance data.
An investment in a Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. An investment in a Fund is subject to risk, including possible loss of principal invested.
GE Investment Distributors, Inc., member of FINRA, is the principal underwriter and distributor of the GE Institutional Funds and a wholly owned subsidiary of GE Asset Management Incorporated, the investment adviser of the Funds.

Understanding Your Funds Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees (for Service Class Shares), 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 each share class 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 March 31, 2013.
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
for your class under the heading Expenses paid during the period, to estimate the expenses paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds 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.

Understanding Your Funds Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees (for Service Class Shares), 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 each share class 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 March 31, 2013.
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
for your class under the heading Expenses paid during the period, to estimate the expenses paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds 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.

U.S. Large-Cap Core Equity Fund | (Unaudited) |
Understanding Your Funds Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees (for Service Class Shares), 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 each share class 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 March 31, 2013.
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
for your class under the heading Expenses paid during the period, to estimate the expenses paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds 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.

Small-Cap Equity Fund | (Unaudited) |
Understanding Your Funds Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees (for Service Class Shares), 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 each share class 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 March 31, 2013.
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
for your class under the heading Expenses paid during the period, to estimate the expenses paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds 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.

Understanding Your Funds Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees (for Service Class Shares), 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 each share class 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 March 31, 2013.
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 for your class under the heading Expenses paid during
the period, to estimate the expenses paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds 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 transactions costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees, if any. Redemption fees are currently suspended for this Fund, but may be reinstated at any time. 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.

Understanding Your Funds Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees (for Service Class Shares), 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 each share class 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 March 31, 2013.
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
for your class under the heading Expenses paid during the period, to estimate the expenses paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds 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.

Understanding Your Funds Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees (for Service Class Shares), 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 each share class 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 March 31, 2013.
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
for your class under the heading Expenses paid during the period, to estimate the expenses paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds 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.

Understanding Your Funds Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs. Ongoing costs include portfolio management fees, distribution and service fees (for Service Class Shares), 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 prepared an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class 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 March 31, 2013.
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
for your class under the heading Expenses paid during the period, to estimate the expenses paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds 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.

1. Organization of the Funds
GE Institutional Funds (the Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware business trust on May 23, 1997, and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. It currently comprises eleven investment funds (each a Fund and collectively the Funds) although only the following nine are currently being offered: U.S. Equity Fund, S&P 500 Index Fund, U.S. Large-Cap Core Equity Fund, Premier Growth Equity Fund, Small-Cap Equity Fund, International Equity Fund, Strategic Investment Fund, Income Fund and Money Market Fund. The Funds presently offer two classes of shares the Investment Class and the Service Class. The Trust expects that most of the time, each Fund will have relatively few shareholders (as compared with most mutual funds), but that these shareholders will invest substantial amounts in a Fund (minimum initial investment requirements are described in the current summary prospectus for each Fund and in the Funds statutory prospectus).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. There are no items to report.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Trust:
Securities Valuation and Transactions All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost for both financial statement and federal tax purposes.
Each Funds income, expenses (other than distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionally each day among the share classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.
Repurchase Agreements Some of the Funds engage in repurchase agreement transactions with respect to instruments that are consistent with the Funds investment objectives or policies. The Funds custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements on behalf of the Funds. The Funds value the underlying collateral daily on a mark-to-market basis to determine that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to 102% for domestic securities and 105% for international securities of the repurchase price. In the event the seller defaults and the value of the security declines, or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.
Foreign Currency Accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange 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 such transactions.
All assets and liabilities of the Funds initially expressed in foreign currency values will be converted into U.S. dollars at the WM/Reuter exchange rate computed at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time.
The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities during the year. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized or unrealized gain or loss from investments. Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains or losses on sales and maturities of foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference between the amount of net investment income and withholding taxes accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received or paid, and gains or losses between the trade and settlement date on purchases and sales of foreign securities. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains
96
Notes to Financial Statements | March 31, 2013 (Unaudited) |
and losses arising from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities (including foreign currencies and open foreign currency contracts) as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are included as increases or decreases in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency related transactions.
Derivatives The Funds are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Certain Funds used various types of derivatives (such as futures) to gain or hedge market exposure for residual and accumulating cash positions, and for managing the duration of fixed-income investments.
Futures Contracts A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. Certain Funds invest in interest rate, financial and stock or bond index futures contracts subject to certain limitations. Certain Funds invested in futures for a variety of portfolio management purposes such as hedging against the effects of changes in the value of portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in interest rates and/or market conditions, gaining market exposure for accumulating and residual cash positions, for duration management, or when the transactions were economically appropriate to the reduction of risks inherent in the management of the Funds. Buying futures tends to increase a Funds exposure to the underlying instrument while selling futures tends to decrease a Funds exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge other Fund investments. A Fund will not enter into a transaction involving futures for speculative purposes. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchanges clearinghouse, as counterparty to all traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. A Funds 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. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they principally trade.
Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash
and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, known as initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the fair value of the underlying security. The Funds record an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may incur a loss. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss on the expiration or closing of a futures contract.
When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments
Certain Funds purchase or sell securities on a when issued or forward commitment basis. These transactions are arrangements in which the Funds purchase and sell securities with payment and delivery scheduled a month or more after entering into the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when these securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the commitments. In connection with such purchases, the Funds maintain cash or liquid assets in an amount equal to the purchase commitments for such underlying securities until settlement date and for sales commitments the Funds maintain equivalent deliverable securities as cover for the transaction. Unsettled commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying security. Daily fluctuations in the value of such commitments are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Funds will not enter into such commitments for the purpose of investment leverage.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts Certain Funds enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign denominated securities and to manage the Funds currency exposure. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and the offered forward rates as last quoted by a recognized dealer. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Funds financial statements. Such amounts appear under the caption Forward Foreign Currency Contracts in the Schedules of Investments. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (or
97
Notes to Financial Statements | March 31, 2013 (Unaudited) |
liability) and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains or losses on foreign currency related transactions. The Funds risks in using these contracts include changes in the value of foreign currency or the possibility that the counterparties do not perform under the contracts terms. When a Fund enters into a forward foreign currency exchange contract, it is required to segregate cash or liquid securities with its custodian in an amount equal to the value of the Funds total assets committed to the consummation of the forward contract. If the value of the segregated securities declines, additional cash or securities are segregated so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the Funds commitment with respect to the contract.
Investments in Foreign Markets Investments in foreign markets involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, restrictions on repatriation of income and capital, and adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls, tariffs and taxes, subject to delays in settlements, and their prices may be more volatile.
The Funds may be subject to capital gains and repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based upon income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued based on net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation as income and/or capital gains are earned.
Investment Income Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable withholding taxes, except for certain foreign corporate actions which are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as such information becomes available. Withholding taxes in foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds understanding of the applicable countrys tax rules and rates.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on taxable bonds are to the call or maturity date, whichever is shorter, using the effective yield method.
Expenses The Funds pay a unitary fee to GEAM equivalent to the Funds advisory and administration fee. This fee includes any normal operating expenses payable by the Funds, except for fees paid to the Trusts independent Trustees, distribution and shareholder servicing fees, brokerage fees and fees that are not normal operating expenses of the Funds (such as extraordinary expenses, interest and taxes).
Federal Income Taxes The Funds intend to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies including the distribution of substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. Each Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.
3. Security Valuation and Transactions
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and providing related disclosures. Broadly, the framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. It also establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs.
Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets.
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar investments
98
Notes to Financial Statements | March 31, 2013 (Unaudited) |
in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 - Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
Policies and procedures are maintained to value investments using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, pricing vendors are utilized to assist in valuing investments. GEAM performs periodic reviews of the methodologies used by independent pricing services including price validation of individual securities.
Fair Value Measurement The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Funds use to measure different financial investments at fair value.
A Funds portfolio securities are valued generally on the basis of market quotations. Equity securities generally are valued at the last reported sale price on the primary market in which they are traded. Portfolio securities listed on NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Level 1 securities primarily include publicly-traded equity securities, which may not necessarily represent the last sales price. If no sales occurred on the exchange or NASDAQ that day, the portfolio security generally is valued using the last reported bid price. In those circumstances the Fund classifies the investment securities in Level 2.
Debt securities (other than short-term securities described below) generally are valued at an evaluated bid price as reported by independent pricing services. The pricing services use various pricing models for each asset class. The inputs and assumptions to the model of the pricing services are derived from market observable sources, which may include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and other market related data. Since many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, the methodology of the pricing service may also use other available information such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of similar securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing, as applicable. Thus, certain securities may not be priced using market quotations, but rather determined from market observable information. These investments are included in Level 2 and are primarily comprised of corporate fixed income,
government, mortgage and asset-backed securities. In the absence of a reliable bid price from such a pricing service, debt securities may be valued based on broker or dealer supplied valuations or quotations. In these infrequent circumstances, pricing services may provide the Funds with valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, and in those circumstances the investment securities are classified as Level 3.
A Fund may use non-binding broker or dealer quotes for valuation when there is limited or no relevant market activity for a specific investment or for other investments that share similar characteristics and a price is not provided by a pricing service or is deemed not to be reliable. The Funds have not adjusted the prices obtained. Investment securities priced using non-binding broker or dealer quotes are included in Level 3.
Portfolio securities of the Money Market Fund and any short-term securities of sufficient credit quality held by any other Fund with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are typically valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value and these are included in Level 2. If it is determined that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, securities may be valued based on dealer supplied valuations or quotations. In these infrequent circumstances, pricing services may provide the Funds with valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, and in those circumstances the investment securities are classified in Level 3.
The Funds use the net asset value per unit for collective funds (i.e., GEI Investment Fund). The Funds classify collective funds in Level 2.
If prices are not readily available for a portfolio security, or if it is believed that a price for a portfolio security does not represent its fair value, the security may be valued using procedures approved by the Funds Board of Trustees that are designed to establish its fair value. These securities are typically classified in Level 3. Those procedures require that the fair value of a security be established by a valuation committee of GEAM. The valuation committee follows different protocols for different types of investments and circumstances. The fair value procedures may be used to value any investment of any Fund in the appropriate circumstances.
99
Notes to Financial Statements | March 31, 2013 (Unaudited) |
Foreign securities may be valued with the assistance of an independent fair value pricing service in circumstances where it is believed that they have been or would be materially affected by events occurring after the close of the portfolio securitys primary market and before the close of regular trading on the NYSE. In these circumstances the Funds classify the investment securities in Level 2. This independent fair value pricing service uses a proprietary model to identify affected securities, taking into consideration various factors, and the fair value of such securities may be something other than the last available quotation or other market price.
All assets and liabilities of the Funds initially expressed in foreign currency values will be converted into U.S. dollars at the WM/Reuters exchange rate computed at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time.
Fair value determinations generally are used for securities whose value is affected by a significant event that will materially affect the value of a security and which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such security trades but prior to the calculation of the Funds NAV.
The value established for such a portfolio security valued other than by use of a market quotation (as described above) may be different than what would be produced through the use of market quotations or another
methodology. Portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including fair valued securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that a Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time and it is possible that a Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.
Other financial investments are derivative instruments that are not reflected in total investments, such as futures, forwards, swaps, and written options contracts, which are valued based on fair value as discussed above.
The Funds use closing prices for derivatives included in Level 1, which are traded either on exchanges or liquid over-the counter markets. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency and commodity forward and option contracts. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 3 primarily represent interest rate products that contain embedded optionality or prepayment features.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

5. Line of Credit
The Trust (excluding the S&P 500 Index Fund) shares a revolving credit facility of up to $150 million with a number of its affiliates. The credit facility is with its custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street). The current revolving credit facility requires the payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.10% per annum on the daily unused portion of the credit facility, payable quarterly by GEAM and included in the unitary fee paid by the Funds.
In addition, the Trust has a $100 million uncommited, unsecured line of credit with State Street.
Generally, borrowings under the credit facilities would accrue interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points (0.50%) and would be borne by the borrowing Fund. The maximum borrowing allowed by any one Fund is the lesser of (i) 33.33% of the Funds total assets or (ii) 20% of its net assets. The credit facilities were not utilized by the Trust during the six-month period ended March 31, 2013.
6. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Advisory and Administration Fees paid to GEAM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Electric Company, for investment advisory and administrative services is paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of each Fund. The advisory and administrative fee is stated in the following schedule:

| The Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fee may be voluntarily reduced by GE Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Funds principal distributor) on a temporary basis to the extent necessary to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for the Service class, but may return to its stated level at any time without prior notice. Further, to the extent necessary, GE Asset Management may also voluntarily reduce its advisory and administration fees and/or subsidize certain expenses of the Fund to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all share classes. This voluntary fee reduction and/or expense subsidy may be modified or discontinued by GE Asset Management at any time without prior notice. There can be no assurance that either of these fee reductions will be sufficient to avoid any loss. |

Notes to Financial Statements | March 31, 2013 (Unaudited) |
GEAM has a contractual arrangement with each non-Money Market Fund to waive a portion of its management fee charged to a Fund in an amount equal to the management fee payable to GEAM by the GE Institutional Money Market Fund with respect to that Funds cash holdings invested in the GE Institutional Money Market Fund.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees The Funds have adopted a Shareholder Servicing and Distribution Plan (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to each Fund. Each Fund pays GE Investment Distributors, Inc. (GEID), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GEAM and the Funds principal underwriter, a monthly fee for distribution and/or shareholder services provided, at an annual rate of the average daily net assets attributable to each applicable class of shares. The annual rate applicable is 0.25% for Service Class shares. Currently, Investment Class shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee.
Trustee Compensation The Funds pay no compensation to their Trustees who are officers or employees of GEAM
or its affiliates. Trustees who are not such officers or employees also serve in a similar capacity for other Funds advised by GEAM. Compensation paid to unaffiliated Trustees is reflected on the Statements of Operations. These fees are allocated pro rata across Funds and share classes served by the Trustees and are based upon the
relative net assets of each Fund. (For additional information about Trustees compensation please refer to the Funds Statement of Additional Information).
7. Sub-Advisory Fees
For certain funds that have retained sub-advisers to manage all or a portion of the respective Funds assets, GEAM pays each sub-adviser an investment sub-advisory fee out of the management fee that it receives from the respective Fund. The investment sub-advisory fee is paid by GEAM monthly and is based upon the average daily net assets of the respective Funds assets that are allocated to and managed by the sub-adviser. Each such sub-adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of those assets of the Fund that are allocated to the sub-adviser, including the responsibility for making decisions to buy, sell or hold a particular security with respect to those assets. For their services, GEAM pays an investment sub-advisory fee to each of Palisade Capital Management, L.L.C. (Palisade), Champlain Investment Partners, LLC (Champlain), GlobeFlex Capital, LP (GlobeFlex), SouthernSun Asset Management, LLC (SouthernSun) and Kennedy Capital Management, Inc.

9. Income Taxes
The Funds are subject to ASC 740, Income Taxes . ASC 740 provides guidance for financial accounting and reporting for the effects of income taxes that result from an entitys activities during the year. ASC 740 also provides guidance regarding how certain uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of
preparing the Funds tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. There are no adjustments to the Funds net assets required under ASC 740. The Funds 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 fiscal years tax returns are still open to examination by the Federal and applicable state tax authorities.

The amounts above will be available to offset future taxable capital gains. Pursuant to the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, each Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment tax years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered entirely short-term as under previous law.
Any qualified late-year loss is deemed to arise on the first day of the Funds next tax year (if the Funds elect to defer such loss). Under this regime, generally, the Funds can elect to defer any post-October capital loss and/or any late-year ordinary loss as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. The Funds elected to defer qualified late-year losses for the year ended September 30, 2012 as follows:

Money Market Fund |

Distributions to Shareholders The Income Fund and Money Market Fund declare net investment income dividends daily and pay them monthly. All other Funds declare and pay dividends from net investment income annually. All Funds declare and pay distributions annually from net realized capital gains in excess of capital loss carryforwards, if any. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These differences include (but are not limited to) treatment of realized and unrealized gains and losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed securities, investments organized as partnerships for tax purposes, foreign taxes payable, investments in futures, investments in passive foreign investment companies, distributions from Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs), losses deferred to offsetting positions, and losses deferred due to wash sale transactions.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 was as follows:

Disclosure for the Boards of Trustees Consideration of the Renewal of the GE Institutional Funds Advisory Agreements
The Board of Trustees of the GE Institutional Funds (the Board), including the independent Board members, considered and unanimously approved the continuance of each of the Funds Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements with GE Asset Management Incorporated (GEAM); with respect to the S&P 500 Index Fund, the continuance of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (SSgA); and with respect to the Small-Cap Equity Fund, the continuance of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements with each of the Funds sub-advisers, Palisade Capital Management, L.L.C. (Palisade), Champlain Investment Partners, LLC, GlobeFlex Partners, LP, SouthernSun Asset Management, LLC and Kennedy Capital Management, Inc., at meetings held on December 14 and December 17, 2012.
In considering all of these approvals, the Board members considered and discussed a substantial amount of information and analyses provided, at the Boards request, by GEAM and each of the sub-advisers. The Board members also considered detailed information regarding performance and expenses of other investment companies, including those with similar investment strategies and sizes, which was prepared by independent third party provider Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar). The Board members reviewed the fees charged by GEAM for other mutual funds and investment products other than mutual funds that employ the same investment strategy as any of the Funds. The Board had the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information in connection with its considerations.
Before approving each Funds investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements, as applicable, the Board members reviewed the information provided with management of GEAM and with independent legal counsel. The Board members also reviewed a memorandum prepared by independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for the consideration of the proposed continuances. The independent Board members discussed the proposed continuances in detail during a private session with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of GEAM or any of the sub-advisers were present. The independent Board members
and their independent legal counsel requested, and received and considered, additional information from GEAM following these sessions.
In advance of the meetings, and in response to their request, the Board members received from GEAM written responses to their inquiries, which included substantial exhibits and other materials related to GEAMs business and the services it provides to each Fund. Also in advance of the meetings, the Board members received from each of the sub-advisers a written response to a letter of inquiry prepared by GEAM at the Boards request, which included substantial exhibits and other materials related to each sub-advisers business and the services it provides to the Small-Cap Equity Fund or the S&P 500 Index Fund, as applicable. The Board members took into account their multi-year experience as Board members and particularly their consideration of these types of agreements in recent years. The information was presented in a manner to facilitate comparison to prior periods and to reflect certain enhancements. To focus their review, the Board members asked GEAM management, in its oral presentations, to highlight material differences from the information presented in recent years.
During the meetings, the Board members also had an opportunity to discuss this information with GEAM managers, including senior executives, representatives from the legal, compliance and finance departments, and investment personnel. With respect to the Small-Cap Equity Fund and the S&P 500 Index Fund, the Board members also had the opportunity to hear presentations by representatives of the sub-adviser(s) at the meetings or during the past year. The Board members posed questions to these representatives and engaged in substantive discussions with them concerning each of their investment processes.
In reaching their determinations relating to continuance of the Funds investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements, as applicable, the Board members considered all factors that they deemed relevant, including the factors discussed below. In their deliberations, the Board members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board members evaluated the information provided to them for
110
Advisory Agreement Approval | (Unaudited) |
each Fund on a fund-by-fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. In particular, the Board members focused on the following with respect to each Fund:
The Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided.
The Board members reviewed the services provided by GEAM and each of the sub-advisers, in particular taking into account their extensive past experiences with GEAM, Palisade and SSgA. In connection with their consideration of GEAMs services, the Board members focused on the favorable attributes of GEAM, including (i) an investment philosophy oriented toward long-term performance; (ii) effective processes used for selecting investments and brokers; with respect to the sub-advised funds, effective processes used for overseeing sub-advisers; and with respect to the Small-Cap Equity Fund, effective processes used for overseeing multiple sub-advisers; (iii) effective processes used for providing Fund administration, including controllership and compliance functions and oversight of the performance of other companies that provide services to the Funds; (iv) highly skilled professionals including analysts, research professionals, traders and portfolio managers with a depth of experience relevant to the Funds; (v) access to significant technological resources from which the Funds may benefit; and (vi) a favorable history and reputation. The Board members noted that the Funds represent only a small portion of the assets managed by GEAM, but benefit from a full array of services and resources provided by GEAM.
In connection with their consideration of the services provided by each of the sub-advisers, the Board members focused on the favorable attributes of the sub-advisers relating to their respective investment philosophies and disciplines, experienced investment and trading personnel, systems and other resources, including research capabilities of the sub-advisers for the Small-Cap Equity Fund, and favorable histories and reputations.
In light of the foregoing, the Board, including the independent Board members, concluded that the services provided by GEAM and each of the sub-advisers continue to be satisfactory.
Investment Performance of the Funds and Sub-Advisers.
The Board members considered the investment performance of each of the Funds for various periods. The Board members reviewed detailed comparisons of the performance of the Funds with the relevant securities indices and peer groupings of mutual funds prepared by Morningstar with respect to various periods. The Board members also engaged in detailed discussions with GEAM management and, in connection with the Small-Cap Equity Fund and the S&P 500 Index Fund, representatives of each of the sub-advisers at meetings held throughout the year, about each of their investment processes and performance results. These discussions focused on each Funds investment objective, GEAMs asset allocation process (if applicable), the number and experience of portfolio management and supporting research personnel, the investment style and approach employed, the likely market cycles for the investment style and, if applicable, relative underperformance in certain periods. The Board also considered the Small-Cap Equity Funds multi-manager structure and how each sub-advisers approach to small-cap investing fits within the Funds overall strategy. The Board members discussed GEAMs investment approach with respect to each of the Funds, and that the performance of the Funds generally is consistent with GEAMs articulated long-term approach and overall investment philosophy.
The Board, including the independent Board members, concluded that each Funds performance was acceptable overall taking into consideration the factors discussed above.
Cost of the Services Provided and Profits Realized from the Relationships with the Funds.
The Board members considered the fees paid to GEAM by the Funds, as well as those paid to each of the sub-advisers by GEAM, and the cost of the services provided. The Board members reviewed the information they had requested from GEAM and each of the sub-advisers concerning their profitability.
The Board members considered the profit margin information for GEAMs investment company business as a whole, as well as GEAMs profitability data for each Fund. GEAM reviewed with the Board the Funds unitary
111
Advisory Agreement Approval | (Unaudited) |
fee structure where GEAM (and not the Funds) bears most of the Funds operating expenses, therefore affecting GEAMs profitability. The Board members reviewed GEAMs assumptions and the methods of cost allocation used by GEAM in preparing Fund-specific profitability data. The Board members also discussed with GEAM the basis for its belief that the methods of allocation used were reasonable for each area of its business. The Board members also considered information regarding the calculation methodology provided by each of the sub-advisers in preparing their respective profitability data.
Information was presented regarding the financial condition of GEAM and each of the sub-advisers for various past periods. The Board members noted and discussed the additional services provided by GEAM to the Funds compared to similar mutual funds managed by GEAM, and noted the fact that GEAM, and not the Funds, pays the sub-advisory fees to the sub-advisers. In connection with the Small-Cap Equity Fund, GEAM reviewed the services related to the allocation of assets among, and oversight of, multiple sub-advisers as a result of the Funds multi-manager structure. The Board members determined that GEAM and each of the sub-advisers should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services they provide to the Funds. The Board members also recognized that GEAM had made significant investments in its business in the past, and that GEAM continues to make substantial investments in fulfilling its obligations to the Funds and supporting its Fund-related activities.
Based on their review, the Board, including the independent Board members, concluded that they were satisfied that the level of profitability achieved by GEAM and each of the sub-advisers from their relationship with the Funds was not unreasonable or excessive.
The Extent to Which Economies of Scale Would be Realized as each Fund Grows and Whether Fee Levels Would Reflect Such Economies of Scale.
The Board members considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow, and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. GEAM reviewed with the Board members that it generally charged comparatively lower fees to the Funds since inception, that all Funds
(other than the S&P 500 Index Fund) are subject to breakpoints in their management fee and that GEAM (and not the Funds) bears most of the Funds operating expenses. Therefore, GEAM is already sharing the low-fee benefits of larger asset sizes. The Board members also considered the substantial infrastructure investments that GEAM has made with respect to its operations and its commitment to continue investing resources to enhance services to Fund shareholders. The Board members recognized the benefits to the Funds of GEAMs past investment in its operations through the expenditure of sums to support its substantial infrastructure, generally lower Fund fees and payment of Fund operating expenses and that, with respect to all GEAM managed mutual funds, GEAM has not yet fully recouped that investment.
Comparison of Services to be Rendered and Fees to be Paid.
The Board members discussed the services provided to the Funds by GEAM and each of the sub-advisers and the fees charged for those services, including, for the Small-Cap Equity Fund, the services required of GEAM to oversee multiple sub-advisers. The Board members reviewed information concerning the fee and expense ratios for each Fund and comparative information with respect to peer groupings of mutual funds prepared by Morningstar. They discussed that the advisory fees for most of the Funds were below the applicable peer group medians and the Funds are generally charged a competitive rate in comparison to their peers. The Board also considered GEAMs comparatively lower historical fee structure overall relative to advisers of other comparable industry peer group funds and noted that GEAM has generally foregone a higher rate of fee for most of the Funds since the inception of its relationship with the Funds.
In connection with each of the sub-advised Funds, the Board members reviewed comparative mutual fund and/or other account fee information provided by each of the sub-advisers. The Board, including the independent Board members, concluded that, based on this information, the advisory fees and, with respect to the sub-advised Funds, the sub-advisory fees paid to each of the sub-advisers, were reasonable in relation to the services provided to the Funds.
112
Advisory Agreement Approval | (Unaudited) |
Fall-Out Benefits.
The Board members considered other actual and potential financial benefits that GEAM and each of the sub-advisers may derive from their respective relationships with the Funds, including, to the extent applicable, soft dollar commission benefits generated through Fund portfolio transactions. The Board members noted, however, that each Fund benefits from the vast array of resources available through GEAM, and that each Fund represents only a small portion of the assets managed by GEAM.
Conclusion.
No single factor was determinative to the Boards decision. Based on their discussion and such other matters as were deemed relevant, the Board, including the independent Board members, concluded that renewal of each Funds investment advisory agreement and, to the extent applicable, each sub-advisory agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
