Important Information

(unaudited)

 

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Fund’s Shareholder Expense Example. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Shareholder Expense Example.

Shareholder Expense Example

Shareholders of the Fund incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including administration fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. The Shareholder Expense 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. The Shareholder Expense Example is based on $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period, July 1, 2012 and held for the entire period through December 31, 2012.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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 to those of other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs may have been higher.

Proxy Voting

The Fund has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its proxy voting records for the period from the Fund’s inception through June 30, 2012 on Form N-PX, which must be filed each year by August 31. The Fund did not hold any votable positions during the reporting period. The Fund’s proxy voting records and proxy voting policies and procedures are available without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-926-4456, on the Funds’ website at www.allianzinvestors.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.

Form N-Q

The Fund files its complete schedules of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form N-Q for the first and third quarters of the fiscal year; such filings are available on the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. A copy of the Fund’s Form N-Q, when available, will be provided without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund at 1-800-988-8380 (Class A and Class C) or 1-800-498-5413 (Institutional II Class). In addition, the Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

AllianzGI Money Market Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2012

 

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Allianz Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment management company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust currently consists of nineteen separate investment funds. These financial statements pertain to the AllianzGI Money Market Fund (the “Fund”), formerly known as Allianz Global Investors Money Market Fund. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”) serves as the Fund’s investment manager and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P. (“AAM”). AAM is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. The Fund currently offers Class A, Class C and Institutional II Class shares. The Fund commenced operations on February 17, 2012 when it sold and issued 10,000 shares of beneficial interest of each share class at a net asset value (“NAV”) of $1.00 per share to AAM.

The Fund invests as part of a master-feeder structure. The Fund is a feeder fund that invests substantially all of its investable assets in a master fund, the State Street Money Market Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”), a portfolio of the State Street Master Funds trust. The investment objective and policies of the Master Portfolio are substantially similar to those of the Fund. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Master Portfolio reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Master Portfolio. At December 31, 2012, the Fund owned less than 1% of the Master Portfolio. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Master Portfolio. The financial statements of the Master Portfolio are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to maximize current income, to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity and the maintenance of a stable $1.00 per share NAV, by investing in U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund will meet its stated objective.

The preparation of the Fund’s financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Fund’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Fund’s financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The 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.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund:

 

(a) Valuation of Investments

The Fund records its investment in the Master Portfolio at fair value. The valuation policies of the Master Portfolio are discussed in Note 2 of the Master Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are attached to this report.

The Master Portfolio adopted provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures that define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and expand disclosures relating to fair value measurements. This

 

8   AllianzGI Money Market Fund Annual Report   12.31.12


Table of Contents

applies to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards, with the intent of increasing consistency of those measurements and applies broadly to securities and other types of assets and liabilities. The summary of the inputs used for the Master Portfolio, at December 31, 2012, in valuing the Master Portfolio’s assets carried at fair value are discussed in Note 2 of the Master Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are attached to this report.

The NAV of each class of the Fund’s shares is normally determined at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business.

 

(b) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

The Fund records daily its pro rata share of the Master Portfolio’s income, expenses and realized gains and losses. In addition, the Fund accrues its own expenses.

 

(c) Federal Income Taxes

The Fund intends to distribute all of its taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Fund, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. Fund management has determined that its evaluation of the positions taken in the tax returns has resulted in no material impact to the Fund’s financial statements at December 31, 2012.

 

(d) Dividends and Distributions

The Fund declares dividends to shareholders from net investment income daily that are payable monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. The Fund records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book-tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as dividends and/or distributions to shareholders from return of capital.

 

(e) Multi-Class Operations

Each class offered by the Fund has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, include servicing and sub-transfer agent fees.

2. PRINCIPAL RISKS

The Fund is exposed to certain risks through its investment in the Master Portfolio. In the normal course of business, the Master Portfolio trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to, among other things, changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (counterparty risk). The Fund is also exposed to other risks such as, but not limited to, master-feeder structure, interest rate and credit risks.

In a master-feeder structure, the Fund’s performance may suffer as a result of large-scale redemptions by other feeder funds or other investors of their shares in the Master Portfolio. Also, other feeder funds or other investors in the Master Portfolio may have a greater ownership interest in the Master Portfolio than the Fund’s interest, and could have effective voting control over the operation of the Master Portfolio. The Fund’s ability to maintain a stable NAV and to meet redemption requests is dependent on the Master Portfolio’s continued ability to do the same. The Fund may not be able to find a suitable alternative if it ceases to invest substantially all of its assets in the Master Portfolio.

During periods of rising interest rates, the Master Portfolio’s yield generally is lower than prevailing market rates causing the value of the Master Portfolio to fall. In periods of falling interest rates, the Master Portfolio’s yield generally is higher than prevailing market rates, causing the value of the Master Portfolio to rise. Typically, the more distant the expected cash flow that the Master Portfolio is to receive from a security, the more sensitive the market price of the security is to movements in interest rates. If the Master Portfolio owns securities that have variable or floating interest rates, as interest rates fall, the income the Master Portfolio receives from those securities also will fall.

The Fund is exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a fixed-income security held by the Master Portfolio may be unable or unwilling, or may be perceived (whether by market participants, ratings agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Credit risk includes the risk that one or more of the securities will be downgraded by a credit rating agency; generally, lower credit quality issuers have higher credit risks. An actual or perceived loss in creditworthiness of an issuer of a fixed-income security held by the Master Portfolio may result in a decrease in the value of the security. Credit risk also includes the risk that an issuer or guarantor of a security, or a bank or other financial institution that has entered into a repurchase agreement with the Master Portfolio, may default on its payment or repurchase obligation, as the case may be.

The values of the securities in which the Master Portfolio invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual issuers and/or general economic conditions (market risk). Price changes may be temporary or may last for extended periods. Recent instability in the financial markets has led the U.S. Government to take a number of unprecedented actions designed to support certain financial institutions and segments of the financial markets that have experienced extreme volatility, and in some cases a lack of liquidity. Federal, state, and other governments, their regulatory agencies, or self regulatory organizations may take actions that affect the regulation of the instruments in which the Master Portfolio invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that are unforeseeable. Legislation or regulation may also change the way in which the Fund and Master Portfolio themselves are regulated. Such legislation or regulation could limit or preclude the Fund’s or Master Portfolio’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Furthermore, volatile financial markets can expose the Master Portfolio to greater market and liquidity risk and potential difficulty in valuing portfolio instruments held by the Master Portfolio.

 

 

10   AllianzGI Money Market Fund Annual Report   12.31.12


Table of Contents

The Fund is exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Master Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions will default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. Delivery of securities sold is only made once the Master Portfolio has received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.

An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve a net asset value of $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

3. INVESTMENT MANAGER/ADMINISTRATOR/SUB-ADMINISTRATOR/DISTRIBUTOR/FEES

Investment Advisory Fee.   The Investment Manager serves as the investment manager to the Fund pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement. The Investment Manager receives no compensation for its services to the Fund while the Fund is invested in a master-feeder structure. If the Fund does not invest substantially all of its investable assets in a master-feeder structure, the Investment Manager would receive an investment management fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Administration Fee.   The Investment Manager provides administrative services to the Fund and in return receives an administration fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Sub-Administration Fees.   Shareholders of the Fund pay a sub-administrative fee to SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Administrator”), computed as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Pursuant to a Sub-Administration Agreement, the Sub-Administrator provides the following services to the Fund: (i) subject to review and comment by the Fund’s legal counsel, prepares background materials for Board meetings, makes presentations where appropriate, and addresses follow-up matters raised at Board meetings; (ii) provides support and assistance with investor and public relations matters; and (iii) reviews and provides support and assistance on shareholder communications. For the period ended December 31, 2012, the Sub-Administrator received sub-administration fees of $13,675.

Distribution and Servicing Fees.   Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Investment Manager, serves as the distributor of the Fund’s shares. The Fund pays fees to the Distributor on an ongoing basis as compensation for the services the Distributor renders and the expenses it bears in connection with personal services rendered to Fund shareholders and the maintenance of shareholder accounts (“servicing fees”). Pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Plan for Class A and Class C shares, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets.

The Distributor also receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) paid by the shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A and Class C shares. For the period ended December 31, 2012, the Distributor received CDSC fees of $324.

4. TRUSTEE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) for the Trustees, which permits the Trustees to defer their receipt of compensation from the Trust, at their election, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Under the Plan, each Trustee may elect not to receive fees from the Trust on a current basis but to receive in a subsequent period an amount equal to the value of such fees as if they had been invested in one or more series of the Trust or series of Allianz Funds Multi-Strategy Trust selected by the Trustees on the normal payment dates for such fees. As a result of this arrangement, the Trust, upon making the deferred payments, will be in substantially the same financial position as if the deferred fees had been paid on the normal payment dates and immediately reinvested in shares of the fund(s) selected by the Trustees.

 

5. EXPENSE LIMITATION

The Investment Manager has contractually agreed until April 30, 2013 to irrevocably waive the Fund’s allocable share of the ordinary operating expenses of the Master Portfolio, Fund fees and expenses and to reimburse the Fund, to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses including payment of organizational expenses, but excluding interest, tax and extraordinary expenses, and certain credits and other expenses, exceed 0.26%, 0.26% and 0.16% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Institutional II Class shares, respectively. Under the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Investment Manager may recoup waived or reimbursed amounts for three years, provided total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed any annual expense limit.

To maintain certain net yields for the Fund, the Investment Manager or its affiliates may temporarily and voluntarily waive, reduce or reimburse all or any portion of the Fund’s fees and expenses.

 

6. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

For the period ended December 31, 2012, the tax character of the dividends paid of $70,951 was comprised entirely of ordinary income.

At December 31, 2012, the tax character of distributable earnings of $611 was comprised entirely of ordinary income.

For the period ended December 31, 2012, permanent “book-tax” differences were primarily attributable to the non-deductible expenses. These adjustments increased undistributed net investment income and decreased paid-in-capital in excess of par by $127.

At December 31, 2012, the cost basis of the investment in the Master Portfolio was substantially the same for both federal income tax and financial reporting purposes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the AllianzGI Money Market Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AllianzGI Money Market Fund (formerly known as Allianz Global Investors Money Market Fund) (the “Fund”) at December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period February 17, 2012 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Privacy Policy

(unaudited)

 

Our Commitment to You

We consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of our relationship with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of our current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure our shareholders’ privacy, we have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholders’ needs to be served.

Obtaining Personal Information

In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, we may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on our internet web sites.

Respecting Your Privacy

As a matter of policy, we do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by us to non-affiliated third parties, except as required for our everyday business purposes, such as to process transactions or service a shareholder’s account, or as otherwise permitted by law. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, and gathering shareholder proxies. We may also retain non-affiliated financial services providers, such as broker-dealers, to market our shares or products and we may enter into joint-marketing arrangements with them and other financial companies. We may also retain marketing and research service firms to conduct research on shareholder satisfaction. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. We may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to their respective brokerage or financial advisory firm, Custodian, and/or to their financial advisor or consultant.

Sharing Information with Third Parties

We reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect our rights or property or upon reasonable request by the Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, we may disclose information about a shareholder or shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party only if we receive a shareholder’s written request or consent.

Sharing Information with Affiliates

We may share shareholder information with our affiliates in connection with our affiliates’ everyday business purposes, such as servicing a shareholder’s account, but our affiliates may not use this information to market products and services to you except in conformance with applicable laws or regulations. The information we share includes information about our experiences and transactions with a shareholder and may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in the Fund or in other investment programs, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s transactions or accounts. Our affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.

Procedures to Safeguard Private Information

We take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, we have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In addition, we have physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in place to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information.

Disposal of Confidential Records

We will dispose of records, if any, that are knowingly derived from data received from a consumer reporting agency regarding a shareholder that is an individual in a manner that ensures the confidentiality of the data is maintained. Such records include, among other things, copies of consumer reports and notes of conversations with individuals at consumer reporting agencies.

STATE STREET MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO

ANNUAL REPORT

December 31, 2012

 

21


Table of Contents

State Street Money Market Portfolio (Unaudited)

 

Expense Example

As an interestholder of the State Street Money Market Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management and administrative services, among others. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.

The table below illustrates your Portfolio’s costs in two ways:

 

  Based on actual fund return – This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Portfolio’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Portfolio. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.

 

  Based on hypothetical 5% return – This section is intended to help you compare your Portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Portfolio had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Portfolio’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your Portfolio’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

    $1,000.00      $ 1,024.83      $ 0.31   

 

* The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six month period of the Portfolio. The Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio for the six month period ended December 31, 2012 was 0.06%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (the most recent six month period).

State Street Money Market Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2012

 

1. Organization

The State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company, and was organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on July 27, 1999. The Trust comprises ten investment portfolios: State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio, State Street Equity 400 Index Portfolio, State Street Equity 2000 Index Portfolio, State Street Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio, State Street Money Market Portfolio, State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, State Street Limited Duration Bond Portfolio, State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio, State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio and State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio. At December 31, 2012, the following Portfolios were operational: State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio, State Street Money Market Portfolio, State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio, State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio and State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to State Street Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio commenced operations on August 12, 2004. The Portfolio is authorized to issue an unlimited number of non-transferable beneficial interests.

The Portfolio’s investment objective is to seek to maximize current income, to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity and the maintenance of a stable $1.00 per share net asset value by investing in U.S. dollar denominated money market securities.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security valuation – As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein, securities of the Portfolio are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

The Portfolio adopted provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures that define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. This applies to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is intended to increase consistency of those measurements and applies broadly to securities and other types of assets and liabilities. In accordance with these provisions, fair value is defined as the price that a Portfolio would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments.

The three tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:

 

  Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
  Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including a Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Total Investments

      $ 27,501,334,855   

The type of inputs used to value each security under the provisions surrounding fair value measurement and disclosures is identified in the Portfolio of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Portfolio’s investments by category.

As of the year ended December 31, 2012, there were no transfers between levels.

Securities Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses – Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on investments. Premium is amortized and discount is accreted using the straight line method. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Expenses are accrued daily.

All of the net investment income and realized gains and losses from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata among the partners in the Portfolio daily based on each partner’s daily ownership percentage.

Federal Income Taxes – The Portfolio is not required to pay federal income taxes on its net investment income and net capital gains because it is treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. All interest, gains and losses of the Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the Portfolio’s partners in proportion to their holdings in the respective Portfolio, regardless of whether such items have been distributed by the Portfolio. Each partner is responsible for tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.

The Portfolio has reviewed the tax positions for open years as of December 31, 2012, and determined it does not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses. The Portfolio recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2012, tax years 2009 through 2012 remain subject to examination by the Portfolio’s major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

At December 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes.

Repurchase Agreements – A repurchase agreement customarily obligates the seller at the time it sells securities to the Portfolio to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon price and time which, in the case of the Portfolio’s transactions, is generally within seven days. The total amount received by the Portfolio on repurchase is calculated to exceed the price paid by the Portfolio, reflecting

Table of Contents

 

an agreed-upon market rate of interest for the period of time to the settlement date, and is not necessarily related to the interest rate on the underlying securities. The underlying securities are ordinarily United States Government or Government Agency securities, but may consist of other securities. The value of the underlying securities, at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day, is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. For example, if the seller of securities under a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities (as a result of its bankruptcy or otherwise) the Portfolio will seek to dispose of such securities; this action could involve costs or delays. In addition, the proceeds of any such disposition may be less than the amount the Portfolio is owed under the repurchase agreement. The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements maturing within seven days with domestic dealers, banks and other financial institutions deemed to be creditworthy by SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSgA FM” or the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”).

Expense Allocation – Certain expenses are applicable to multiple Portfolios. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio. Expenses of the Trust that are not directly attributed to the Portfolio are allocated among the Portfolios, on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the Portfolios can otherwise be made.

Use of Estimates – The Portfolio’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that these differences could be material.

Subsequent Events – Management has determined that there are no subsequent events or transactions that would have materially impacted the Portfolios’ financial statements as presented.

 

3. Related Party Fees

The Portfolio has entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, under which the Adviser directs the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with their investment objectives, policies, and limitations. In compensation for the Adviser’s services as investment adviser, the Portfolio pays the Adviser a management fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of its average daily net assets.

State Street is the administrator, custodian and transfer agent for the Portfolio. In compensation for State Street’s services as administrator, custodian and transfer agent the Portfolio pays State Street an annual fee, which is accrued daily and payable monthly at the applicable fee rate described below, of the following annual percentages of the Trust’s average aggregate daily net assets, exclusive of the Equity 500 Index Portfolio, during the month as follows:

 

Asset Levels  

Annual Percentage of

Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets

4. Trustees’ Fees

Each Independent Trustee receives for his or her services a $100,000 retainer in addition to $5,000 for each in-person meeting and $1,250 for each telephonic meeting from the Trust. The Chairman receives an additional $30,000 annual retainer and the Audit Committee Chair receives an additional $10,000 annual retainer.

 

5. Indemnifications

The Trust’s organizational documents provide that its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, both in some of its principal service contracts and in the normal course of its business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements in unknown as this could involve future claims against the Trust. Management does not expect any significant claims.

 

6. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” These common disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a portfolio’s financial position. They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition, ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial position; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on financial statement disclosures.

In this reporting period the Trust adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820)—Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 seeks to improve the comparability of fair value measurements as presented and disclosed in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) by providing common requirements for fair value measurement and disclosure. The guidance clarified that a reporting entity should disclose quantitative information from the observable inputs used in fair value measurement that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and also required additional disclosure regarding the valuation processes used by the reporting entity. The guidance was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Trust adopted this guidance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and determined that the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements. Please see note 2 for additional information.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of State Street Master Funds and Owners of Beneficial Interest of State Street Money Market Portfolio:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of State Street Money Market Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting State Street Master Funds) (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2012, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of State Street Money Market Portfolio of State Street Master Funds at December 31, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Advisory Agreement Renewal

The Board of Trustees of the Trust met on November 15, 2012 (the “November Meeting” or “Meeting”) to consider the renewal of the investment advisory agreements for the Portfolios (the “Advisory Agreements”). In preparation for considering renewal of the Advisory Agreements at the November Meeting, the Independent Trustees convened a special telephonic meeting on October 18, 2012 (the “Preliminary Meeting”), at which they reviewed renewal materials provided by the Adviser, which they had requested through independent counsel, and discussed the materials with counsel and representatives of the Adviser. In the course of the Preliminary Meeting they requested additional materials from the Adviser and State Street, which were subsequently provided in advance of the November Meeting along with updates of certain of the original materials. At the November Meeting, in deciding whether to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered various factors, including (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreements, (ii) the investment performance of the Portfolios, (iii) the costs to the Adviser of its services and the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Trust, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if and as the Trust grows and whether the fee levels in the Advisory Agreements reflect these economies of scale, and (v) any additional benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Trustees relied on their prior direct experience as Trustees of the Trust as well as on the materials provided in advance of the November Meeting. The Trustees reviewed the Adviser’s responsibilities under the Advisory Agreements and noted the experience and expertise that would be appropriate to expect of an adviser to the Portfolios, each of which is a money market fund. The Trustees reviewed the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for the investment and compliance operations relating to the investments of the Portfolios, and the responsibilities of the latter with respect to the Portfolios. They also considered the resources, operational structures and practices of the Adviser in managing the Portfolios’ investments, in monitoring and securing the Portfolios’ compliance with their investment objectives and investment policies and with applicable laws and regulations, and in seeking best execution of portfolio transactions. The Trustees also considered information about the Adviser’s overall investment management business, noting that the Adviser manages assets for a variety of institutional investors

and that the Adviser and its affiliates had over $1.9 trillion in assets under management at August 31, 2012, including over $259 billion managed by the Adviser. They reviewed information regarding State Street’s business continuity and disaster recovery program. Drawing upon the materials provided and their general knowledge of the business of the Adviser, the Trustees determined that the experience, resources and strength of the Adviser in the management of a variety of money-market products are exceptional. As discussed more fully below, they also determined that the advisory fees paid by the Portfolios were fair and reasonable and that the Portfolios’ performance and expense ratios were acceptable. On the basis of this review, the Trustees determined that the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser to the Portfolios were appropriate and had been of good quality.

The Trustees determined, in view of the investment objectives of the Portfolios and after review and discussion of the available data and of a memorandum discussing the recent performance of the Portfolios supplied by the Adviser at the Independent Trustees’ request, that the investment performance was acceptable. The Trustees noted that the reported recent performance of the Portfolios relative to their peers was not a wholly dependable measure of the Adviser’s success in managing the Portfolios’ investments, due to the fact that the Portfolios’ and most of their peers’ returns had been significantly affected by advisers’ waiving fees and reimbursing expenses, often in order to maintain returns at or above zero; nevertheless, the Trustees determined that, in light of recent conditions in the money market industry, the reported performance of the Portfolios supported a finding that the performance was acceptable, albeit subject to ongoing review at future meetings.

The Trustees considered the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliate, State Street, of the advisory relationships with the Trust. (They noted at the outset that the issue of profitability would not arise with respect to SSGM, also an affiliate of the Adviser, because of the fact that SSGM receives no compensation from feeder funds and, by implication, the Portfolios.) The Trustees had been provided with data regarding the profitability to the Adviser and State Street with respect to the Portfolios individually, and on an aggregate basis with the other feeder funds and master portfolios overseen by the Trustees (together, the “Funds and Portfolios”), for the year ended June 30, 2012, and for the four prior years. Having discussed with representatives of the Adviser the methodologies used in computing the costs that formed the bases of the profitability calculations, they concluded that these methodologies appeared reasonable and turned to the data provided. After discussion and analysis they concluded that, to the extent that the Adviser’s and State Street’s relationships with the Trust had been profitable to either or both of those entities during the period for which information had been provided, the profitability was in no case such as to render the advisory fee excessive, especially in light of the competitive levels of the fees paid to the Adviser and State Street by the Trust. They noted that the levels of profitability had tended to increase in recent periods as a number of the Funds and Portfolios had experienced significant growth, and they determined to reconsider again the profitability of these relationships to the Adviser and State Street at the next year’s renewal meeting.

In order better to evaluate the Portfolios’ advisory fees, the Trustees had requested comparative information from Lipper Inc. with respect to fees paid by, and expense ratios of, similar funds not managed by the Adviser. The Trustees found that the Portfolios’ advisory fees and total expense ratios were all lower than the average for its Lipper peer group; after discussion, they concluded that the data available provided confirmation of the reasonableness of the Adviser’s fees. (The Trustees noted that the Adviser does not receive any advisory fees from a Fund so long as the Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the applicable Portfolio or in another investment company.) The Trustees also considered that, to help limit expenses of certain Portfolios and corresponding series of State Street Institutional Investment Trust, the Adviser had reduced its advisory fee or otherwise reimbursed expenses for those Portfolios.

In addition, the Trustees considered other advisory fees paid to the Adviser and its affiliate, State Street Global Advisors (“SSgA”). They noted that as a general matter fees paid to the Adviser by other, closely similar mutual funds sponsored by State Street tended to be higher than the fees paid by the Portfolios, with some exceptions, whereas fees paid by mutual funds for which the Adviser acted as sub-adviser and by institutional accounts managed by SSgA tended to be lower than those paid by the Portfolios, again with some exceptions; in considering these fees, the Trustees reviewed and discussed a memorandum prepared by the Adviser discussing the differences between the services provided to the Portfolios by the Adviser and those provided to sub-advised funds and other types of institutional clients. The Trustees determined that, in light of these significant differences, the fees paid by sub-advised funds and other types of institutional clients were of doubtful utility for purposes of comparison with those of the Portfolios, but that to the extent that meaningful comparison was practicable the differences in services satisfactorily accounted for differences in the fees. The Trustees determined that the Adviser’s fees were fair and reasonable.

In considering whether the Adviser benefits in other ways from its relationship with the Trust, the Trustees also considered whether the Adviser’s affiliates may benefit from the Trust’s relationship with State Street as fund administrator, custodian and transfer agent and with SSGM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street, as principal underwriter for the Trust. They noted, among other things, that the Adviser utilizes no soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Portfolios’ brokerage transactions to obtain third-party (non-proprietary research) services. The Trustees concluded that, to the extent that the Adviser or its affiliates derive other benefits from their relationships with the Trust, those benefits are not so significant as to render the Adviser’s fees excessive.

The Trustees also considered the extent to which economies of scale may be realized by the Portfolios as assets grow and whether the Portfolios’ fee levels reflect such economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of investors. In considering the matter, the Trustees determined that, to the extent that economies of scale were in fact being realized, such economies of scale were shared with the Portfolios by virtue of advisory fees of comparatively low levels that subsumed economies of scale in the fees themselves. The Trustees also recognized, however, that should sustained, substantial asset growth be realized in the future, it might be appropriate to consider additional measures.

On the basis of the foregoing discussions and determinations, without any one factor being dispositive, the Trustees decided to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreements.

(1) The aggregate amount of all such permitted non-audit services provided constitutes no more than (i) with respect to such services provided to the Fund, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its independent accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided, and (ii) with respect to such services provided to Accounting Affiliates, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid to the Fund’s independent accountant by the Fund and the Accounting Affiliates during the fiscal year in which the services are provided;
(2) Such services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement for such services to be non-audit services; and
(3) Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Committee or by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this Committee Chairman or other delegate shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
  e) 2. No services were approved pursuant to the procedures contained in paragraph (C) (7) (i) (C) of Rule 2-01 of Registration S-X.
  f) Not applicable.
