December 2015, the P share class of the SSgA Europe ex UK Index Real Estate Fund (FR ) sub-fund was launched. Events that occurred between the financial year end and the date that this report was drawn up : None Financial markets update: After a turbulent end to the third quarter of 2015, marked by a rapidly deteriorating global growth outlook, global equity markets found their footing in October to open the fourth quarter. The shift in market sentiment was aided by new policy commitments from the world s central banks to provide additional stimulus to combat the effects of a slowing global economy a concern that was seemingly validated when the International Monetary Fund (IMF) downgraded their forecast for global growth in early October. With that as a backdrop, the most prominent central banking pronouncements came from Europe and China. On 22 October, the President of the European Central Bank (ECB), Mario Draghi, gave strong indications that the ECB would be prepared to introduce additional stimulus measures before the end of 2015, citing the negative effect weak emerging markets growth will have on meeting the ECB s inflation targets. This was followed a day later by an interest rate cut by the People s Bank of China and further policy measures to combat weak investment growth and low inflation. The relatively conciliatory tone adopted by global central banks was only slightly tempered at the end of the month when the Federal Reserve (Fed) removed a section from its statement following its open The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

19 State Street Global Advisors Index Funds [ SICAV] 2015 Annual Report market committee meeting that had cited concerns over global growth, raising hopes that the Fed may still raise rates by the end of 2015 and triggering a rise in the US dollar. As the quarter progressed into November, expectations that the Fed would finally be initiating the first increase in the target federal funds rate in over nine years in December steadily grew in interest rate futures markets, rising from an implied probability of 43% on 1 November to 72% on 30 November. The October employment report, published on 6 November, provided evidence of the economic recovery, with an estimated rise in the nonfarm payroll of 271,000 workers. This was significantly higher than the figure of 185,000 forecast by the market, especially when compared to the particularly disappointing report for September, a month when the increase in payroll was far lower than expected (118,000 workers). Statements made by Federal Reserve officials during the course of the month also raised expectations of a hike in the Fed s rates in December. On 12 November, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, William Dudley, stated that the conditions the Committee has established to begin to normalise monetary policy could soon be satisfied. Dudley s statement was noteworthy as he had been one of the first senior Fed officials in August to signal that a September rate increase was probably out of the question. As 2015 drew to a close, global investors were clearly aware of the long-standing divergence in policies with, on the one hand, high expectations of further relaxation in the European Central Bank s (ECB) monetary policy, and on the other hand, equally high expectations that December would bring the first rate rise in over nine years from the US Federal Reserve (Fed). On 3 December, the ECB cut its deposit rate by 10 basis points to -0.3% and announced a six-month extension to its current bond purchase programme through to March These measures did represent an easing of policy, but a closer look showed that they remained well below the markets expectations, leading to a sharp fall in European shares and the US dollar on the day of the policy announcement. On 16 December, the Fed in turn announced a widely anticipated 0.25% increase in the Federal Funds rate, in line with expectations priced in the overnight index swap market on the eve of the decision. Given that there was little difference between expectations and the final outcome, the market reaction immediately following the Fed s announcement was relatively muted compared to the despondency that greeted the ECB s policy measure. While the December rate hike was made by consensus decision, the market s forward outlook and the Fed s own projections differ considerably, as they have since the Fed began offering projections on the future path of rates in Based on the latest projections released by the Fed on 16 December, the median view of Fed participants is that the Federal Funds rate will sit at around 1.375% at the end of 2016, which implies that there will be four more rate increases from the end of Market expectations, on the other hand, place the year-end rate at around 0.85%, implying that there will be just two rate increases in With 2016 fast approaching, capital markets at the close of 2015 had to come to terms with many of the same themes that shaped the outlook at the end of the previous year. Consider, for example, the themes facing investors today and contrast them with those of twelve months ago. Firstly, the monetary policies of the United States, the eurozone and Japan are widely expected to diverge further in the coming year. And, secondly, the recent decline in commodity prices should benefit consumers of such commodities and penalise their producers. With regard to monetary policy divergence, the only difference between the end of 2014 and today is that the much anticipated divergence finally commenced with the Federal Reserve (Fed) raising interest rates on 16 December. As far as the decline in input prices is concerned, in 2014, crude oil* prices and the broader commodity complex** declined by 46% and 17% respectively over the year, compared to declines of 30% and 25% respectively in Both of these themes undoubtedly had significant implications for investors in 2015, with policy divergence resulting in large differentials in outcomes for US-based investors in international markets, with and without currency risk, while the continued decline in commodity prices had decidedly negative consequences for investors in natural resources and the global inflation outlook. The combination of lower energy prices and a strong US dollar proved particularly toxic for emerging markets and US corporate profits. *WTI First Contract **Bloomberg Commodity Total Return index After a sharp sell-off in the third quarter of 2015 linked to global growth fears emanating from emerging markets, most notably from China, that plunged most stock exchanges into the red for the year, global equities rebounded in October, although this recovery was not sustained in November and December as the fourth quarter drew to a close. Over the quarter, the MSCI World Index posted a return of 5.5%* which, although solid, was The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

20 State Street Global Advisors Index Funds [ SICAV] 2015 Annual Report insufficient to offset the losses incurred at the start of 2015, leaving the index down 0.9%* for 2015, and thus representing the weakest year for global equities in developed countries since Leading the developed market regional indices for the quarter was the MSCI Pacific Index, which was up by 9.0%* and achieved a positive return for the whole of 2015 of 3.0%*. US investors in European equities faced a large headwind in the form of the strong US Dollar that saw a local return of 4.9% in 2015 for the MSCI Europe Index, reduced to - 2.8%* once currency effects had been taken into account. As underwhelming as returns in developed markets were for 2015, they were quite stellar compared to the performance on emerging markets, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index posting a return of 0.7%* for the fourth quarter and -14.9%* for 2015 as a whole. *All in US dollars Investors in US markets also found positive returns hard to come by in 2015 with a YTD return for the S&P 500 Total Return Index of 1.38%, including strong fourth quarter returns of 7.0%. This mediocre result in 2015 was due, in part, to the difficulties encountered by US companies in turning a profit, as evidenced by the decline in year-on-year earnings on the S&P 500 Index for both the second and third quarters and the potential for more of the same in the final quarter of the year. This decline in earnings stems mostly from the energy sector, where a 60% fall in oil prices at the end of September corresponded to an almost identical drop in equity sector earnings. Excluding the energy sector, S&P 500 Index aggregate earnings growth remained positive, though it was still relatively weak given the impact on multinationals of the stronger US dollar and moderate global growth. Looking forward, it is expected some of these restraining factors will dissipate: the US dollar should remain below its peak reached in March 2015 and the main effects of lower energy prices should support earnings growth once the decline in oil prices stabilises. Positive returns were also hard to come by in fixed income markets in the fourth quarter, as rises in government rates and credit spreads resulted in negative outcomes across major benchmark indices. With expectations rising through the quarter that the Fed would raise the Federal Funds rate at the FOMC meeting on 16 December, most of the movement in rates along the US Treasury curve took place on the front end of the curve, with the 2-year US Treasury bill yield rising by 41 basis points to exceed 1.0% for the first time since In contrast, yields from 30-year US Treasury bills increased by just 4 basis points over the quarter to just above 3.0%, resulting in a flattening of the US Treasury bill curve. One interpretation of the flattening curve is a longer-term view that inflation and growth rates are likely to stay relatively subdued, in line with the results observed since the end of the last recession. Further support for long-term bonds and global fixed income issues in general is provided by the ECB s substantial quantitative easing programme, providing for 60 billion in monthly purchases of European bonds, which was launched in March 2015 and extended to March 2017 on 6 December. In US credit markets, the fourth quarter punctuated an unsettlingly steady rise in both investment grade and speculative grade credit spreads throughout In the speculative US high yield universe, the increase in spreads was largely attributable to the impact of the sharp fall in global oil prices on the energy sector, which accounts for more than 15% of the Barclays US High Yield Index. For the fourth quarter, spreads for the Barclays US High Yield Index increased by 30 basis points and were up nearly 180 basis points over the year, reaching their highest levels since the spring of 2012 in early December. Evidence that credit conditions in the US tightened throughout 2015 for reasons beyond energy prices is supported by the parallel rise in investmentgrade loans, with spreads for the Barclays U.S. Long Credit Index widening from 184 basis points to 231 basis points at the end of the year, approaching levels not reached since July As 2016 commences, the tightening of credit conditions presents a further constraint on the earnings of US public companies that borrow on debt markets was difficult for investors in real assets and the outlook for the beginning of 2016 looks equally challenging. For investors in industrial goods and energy, concerns regarding growth emanating from emerging markets and China remains a disadvantage. Returns for the Bloomberg Commodities Total Return Index were % for the fourth quarter and -24.7% for 2015, with the index hitting a new 13-year low on 17 December was a turbulent year for investors in US REITs, with the Dow Jones Select REIT losing up to 8.5% over the period as at 4 September, but ending the year up 4.5%. In TIPS, despite the resumption of weakness in commodities to close out the year, the inflation outlook stabilised somewhat in the final quarter of 2015, bringing the five-year rate of return up to 1.28% at the end of 2015, a level that was almost unchanged from 1.2% at the start the year. In between those two bookend data points, five-year rates of return rose to 1.75% in the second quarter of 2015 following a temporary stabilisation in energy prices, before falling to as low as 1.0% on 28 September.

21 State Street Global Advisors Index Funds [ SICAV] 2015 Annual Report Looking forward to 2016, in contrast to the beginning of 2015, the outlook for global growth is generally more subdued. This gloomy outlook has been significantly influenced by lower expectations regarding the pace of China s GDP growth. Indeed, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has predicted that Chinese GDP growth will fall to 6.3% in 2016 following an estimated growth rate of 6.9% for 2015, which in itself was a disappointment relative to expectations at the beginning of the year. The IMF is also forecasting 2016 growth rates for both the US and global economy to be 0.3% lower than at the same point in the previous year. Unsurprisingly, given the results in 2015, growth forecasts for emerging markets outside China have also been challenged; Brazil and Russia, the second and fourth largest emerging markets by output, are still forecast to be in recession in In our tactical portfolios, we have a modest bias towards defensive assets over growth-oriented assets. Within equities, we favour non-us developed markets over their American counterparts on relative monetary policy support, favourable sentiment surrounding earnings and more attractive valuations. We continue to underweight emerging market equities given the slowdown in the relative growth rates of emerging market economies compared to developed markets and an unfavourable currency outlook. As regards fixed income, we anticipate that the government bond yield curve in the U.S. will flatten as the Fed cautiously continues to tighten its monetary policy. With long-term growth and inflation prospects muted, we also expect the long end of the curve to stay well rooted. However, whilst recognising the generally low level of rates globally and the potential risks of interest rate volatility, we have built a significant overweighting of cash to protect the portfolio from any unfavourable movements across the curve. Lastly, given the mostly supportive political backdrop, as well as near-record low default rates in high-yield bonds, we maintain a cautiously optimistic outlook on credit. Nonetheless, the steady rise in both investment grade and high-yield credit spreads does offer some cause for concern. III.

34 SSgA Consumer Discretionary Index Equity Fund [s ub- fund o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d ssicav] 2015 Annual Report ISIN Code: P USD shares: FR I USD shares: FR I EUR shares : FR I NL EUR shares: FR B shares: FR Classification: International Equities. Management objective: The Fund s objective is to track the performance of the MSCI Consumer Discretionary index ( the Index ) as much as possible. The Fund aims to achieve a tracking error of less than 1%. It is possible that the MSCI data cannot be replicated or used for another purpose. MSCI gives no guarantee with respect to the present report, which it has neither prepared nor approved, and accepts no liability in this regard. Benchmark index: MSCI Consumer Discretionary net dividends reinvested. The index represents all international shares in the cyclical consumer goods sector. The asset management company and the custodian are available to provide investors with information concerning the benchmark index, the performance of which is shown in periodical documents and the annual report. Details on the benchmark index can be found in the prospectus. Equity risk exposure: 90% minimum. Method of calculating the comprehensive risk ratio: Commitment calculation method. Recommended minimum investment period: More than five years. Subscribers concerned: Class P shares: All investors. Class I shares: Institutional investors. Class B shares: Reserved for Institutional Investors who have entered into a management agreement, or an agreement that is viewed as equivalent, with the management company or one of its affiliates. Class I NL EUR shares: Reserved for the Netherlands institutional investor sales network. Appropriation of earnings: Accumulation. Tax mode: Accumulation fund. Environmental, social and governance quality criteria: Pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the Fund s investment process is independent from the criteria for compliance with social, environmental and governance quality objectives. Investment strategy: The fund manager uses the investment method or methods he considers best suited to attaining the investment objectives. The management strategy aims to use the pure physical tracking method, which consists of purchasing all the securities that make up the benchmark index in proportion to their respective weightings. In specifically defined circumstances, the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the index. As an index-based mutual fund, the Fund may make use of the exemptions specified by Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code, relating to the investment limits in financial instruments of a single issuer. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in shares or debt securities of the same issuer, and this limit can be raised to 35% for a single issuer when it is deemed justified by exceptional market conditions, in particular on regulated markets in which certain securities or money market instruments are predominant. Depending on regulatory constraints or market constraints, the Fund may be required to use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio. Consequently, the Fund will generally only hold a subset of the securities included in the index. Accordingly, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in the securities of a single issuer. The portfolio is made up of at least 90% international securities from the cyclical consumer goods sector. The portfolio may contain up to 10% of negotiable debt securities and money market instruments. The Fund invests up to 10% of its assets in shares or units of mutual funds. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.

Indeed, within the regulatory limits, the Fund may deal in forward financial instruments that are traded on French and foreign regulated markets or on over-the-counter markets, especially index futures, up to a maximum of 10% of the assets. In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. The SICAV s portfolio may include units or shares of mutual funds managed by State Street or financial instruments in which the Group has a special interest.

36 SSgA Consumer Discretionary Index Equity Fund [s ub- fund o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d ssicav] 2015 Annual Report Risk profile: Your money will be invested primarily in financial instruments selected by the management company. These instruments will be exposed to market fluctuations and contingencies. Investors must be aware of the risks set out below. Furthermore, the following explanations do not represent a comprehensive list of all the risk factors associated with purchasing shares in the Fund, and investors are invited to make up their own minds about whether it is appropriate to invest. They are also encouraged to seek independent advice before buying any shares in the Fund. The Fund s risk profile is fundamentally identical to, or as close as possible to, that of the tracked index. The Fund is primarily exposed to equity market risks. As a result, its value can increase or decrease according to changes in the markets, and the investor may incur capital losses. Even if the general economic conditions do not change, the Fund's net asset value could decline if the industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests do not perform well or are negatively affected. In addition, there is the likelihood of the following specific risks: - There is no guarantee that the Fund s management objectives will be achieved. In practice, no asset or financial instrument allows the benchmark index to be automatically tracked. The changes made to the Fund s assets and the changing weightings of the benchmark index may bring about various transaction or friction costs. Furthermore, the total return generated by investments in the securities comprising the index shall be reduced because of certain costs and expenses that are not included in the calculation of the index. In addition, the Fund may not be able to fully replicate the performance of the index, in particular due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities comprising the index or exceptional circumstances that may distort the weightings of the index. Furthermore, in the event of a suspension or temporary interruption of the listing of the securities comprising the index or in the event of market disruption, it may prove impossible to rebalance the portfolio of securities comprising the Fund for an unspecified period. The value of the Fund s shares and their income may increase or decrease to reflect changes in the value of the securities in which the Fund invests. - The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk. Some investments and/or types of investment are subject to restrictions when they are sold, may be traded on the over-the-counter market or in limited volumes, or may not benefit from an active trading market. Non-liquid investments may be traded at a lower price with respect to comparable investments that are more liquid, and may be subject to large fluctuations in their market value. It may be hard for the Fund to assign an exact value to illiquid securities. The Fund may also be unable to sell illiquid securities quickly, or sell them at the best time, or sell them at prices close to their value as determined by the Fund. Illiquid securities may also incur registration fees and other transaction fees that are higher than those that apply to liquid securities. - The Fund s investments are managed with the objective of matching the performance of the Benchmark Index. Consequently, the Fund is subject to a tracking error risk, which is the risk that the performance of the Fund s investments fails to match that of the benchmark index. Although the Fund aims to be fully invested at all times, it may from time to time have to hold a portion of its assets as cash. The capacity of the Fund to obtain a substantial correlation between the performance of the Fund and the Benchmark Index may be affected by changes in stock markets, changes in the composition of the Benchmark, cash inflows and outflows to and from the Fund, as well as applicable charges and commissions. The Fund will strive to track the performance of the Benchmark regardless of the current or expected performance of the Benchmark or of the securities that comprise it. In addition, the Fund will generally not sell a security included in the Benchmark as long as the security is part of the Benchmark, notwithstanding any foreseeable sudden or significant decline in the value of the security, even if the asset management company may take a different investment decision for other funds holding the security. The Fund s performance may therefore be below that of a portfolio managed using an active investment strategy. The structure and the composition of the Benchmark will affect its performance, volatility and risk (in absolute terms and by comparison to other indices) as well as the performance, volatility and risk of the Fund. Investors must also be aware that the Fund will be exposed to a credit risk on the parties with which it deals and may, in addition, incur the risk of payment default. It is possible that (i) the ability of an issuer to honour its obligations substantially declines in periods in which the Fund holds securities of said issuer, (ii) said issuer defaults on its obligations, or (iii) an issuer s obligations on a security held by the Fund are limited or restructured. Any real or perceived degradation of an issuer s ability to honour its obligations will probably have a negative effect on the value of the issuer's securities and on the net asset value of the Fund.

37 SSgA Consumer Discretionary Index Equity Fund [s ub- fund o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d ssicav] 2015 Annual Report credit risk compared to lower-rated investments, they can present certain common risks, including the possibility that their issuers are not able to make on-time interest and principal payments and thereby default on payments. - Risk linked to securities lending: The Fund may participate in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company. When the Fund becomes involved in securities lending transactions, it becomes exposed to the counterparty s credit risk, because the borrower may be unable to meet its obligations under the loan, could become insolvent or could default or refuse to fulfil its obligations concerning the return of the loaned or equivalent securities. Should this happen, the Fund might be exposed to delays in the return of securities and suffer a capital loss. This could lead to a fall in the Fund s net asset value. The Fund may hedge its exposure to counterparty risk by requiring that the counterparty provide collateral in the form of securities such as shares or debt securities. In the event of a counterparty default and non-recovery of the securities corresponding to those loaned, the Fund may suffer a loss equal to the negative difference between the value of the securities received as collateral and the market value of the substitute securities. Such a negative difference can be explained by poor valuation of the assets received as collateral, unfavourable stock market fluctuations, lack of liquidity on the markets where the securities received as collateral are traded or a downgrading of the credit rating of the counterparty concerned. Participation in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company might lead to less favourable financial results compared with another securities lending program available on the market or a situation in which the Fund lends its securities outside the programme. Pursuant to the provisions of the securities lending agreement in question, the designated lending agent may retain a portion of the income from the securities lending to cover the fees and costs linked to this securities lending activity, including the delivery of the loaned securities, management of guarantees and management of the compensation linked to the securities lending; all fees will be paid at normal commercial interest rates. - French and eurozone investors will be exposed to a currency exchange risk. The Fund is exposed to currency risk via the acquisition of or exposure to securities denominated in a currency other than the Fund s base currency. Fluctuations in the values of these currencies against the Fund s base currency may have a positive or negative effect on the Fund s investments that are denominated in such currencies. Although it is not required to do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange contracts, or other currency-related transactions (including derivative transactions), in order to manage exposure to different currencies. These contracts (i) may reduce or eliminate all or part of the profit that the Fund may make as a result of favourable currency fluctuations and (ii) cannot guarantee to protect the Fund against unfavourable fluctuations. - Derivative-related risk: The use of derivatives by the Fund may give rise to risks which differ from those associated with investments in financial securities and other more conventional investments. These risks include, among others, risks of illiquidity, valuation, volatility, market, credit, counterparty, leverage effect, management or other risks linked to commodities related to such products, as well as the risk of losing more than the initial investment. Risk of conflicts of interest: Companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company may offer services to the Fund, such as securities lending management services, custodian services, administration and registrar services, valuation or paying agent services. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and derivative transactions with companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company. The Fund may invest in mutual funds for which the Asset Management Company is the promotion agent or which are affiliated to it or are affiliated to any entity of the State Street group. In this case, the Fund will pay a proportional share of the fees of these underlying mutual funds. In addition, they can pay the fees to the Asset Management Company or its affiliated companies, which may have the effect of increasing the expenses paid by the Fund. There is no guarantee that the rates at which the Fund pays its fees and expenses to the Asset Management Company or to its affiliated companies, or the conditions under which it concludes transactions with entities of the State Street group, or under which it invests in the said mutual funds are the most favourable on the market in general or are as favourable as the rates that the entities in question propose to their clients. There will be no independent review of the fees or expenses paid to these entities nor of the services that they deliver. Due to its financial interest, the Asset Management Company may be encouraged to conclude transactions or make arrangements on behalf of the Fund with the affiliated companies under certain circumstances. The conclusion of transactions with the Management Company or its Affiliated companies or their intermediary, or the use of their services, will be made in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. The Management Company and its affiliated companies provide investment consultancy advice to other customers and may make investment decisions on their own account and on behalf of third parties, especially other funds, which may differ from the decisions that will be taken by the Asset Management Company for the Fund. In particular, the Asset Management Company may provide asset allocation advice to other customers comprising an investment recommendation or divestment for a fund and might not make the same recommendation to all customers invested in the same fund or in similar funds. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

Under these circumstances, decisions to trigger a case of failure or relative to the terms of an arrangement may generate conflicts of interest. During investment decisions that may raise a conflict of interest, the Asset Management Company will endeavour to act fairly and justly, in accordance with its conflict of interest policy, towards the fund concerned and towards other customers. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the asset management company and its affiliated companies may invest their own assets and on behalf of clients in various senior securities, equal or lower or hold different or opposing interests to the securities held by the Fund and (ii) the asset management company may occasionally (subject to applicable law) simultaneously seek to buy (or sell) investments for the Fund and sell (or buy) the same investments for accounts, funds or structured products for which it acts as asset manager; during the period under consideration or in the future, or for its clients or affiliates, and may carry out crossed transactions under these circumstances. Furthermore, the asset management company and its affiliates may buy or sell fund securities, if allowed by the applicable law. These other relations may also cause the applicability of the restrictions provided by the law of financial securities to the Fund s transactions on these instruments and created potential conflicts of interest for the asset management company. The asset management company, as part of its other professional activities, may acquire material non-public confidential information that may prevent it from buying or selling the securities for itself or its clients (including the Fund) or from using such information for the benefit of its clients or for its own benefit. - The Fund is exposed to the risk that geopolitical events may disrupt the securities markets, and lead to a deterioration in global economies and markets. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events have resulted and may result in the future in increased short-term market volatility, and could have damaging long-term effects on the global economy and on markets in general. These events, as well as other changes in economic and political conditions, could also be harmful to individual issuers or groups of linked issuers, to securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiments, as well as to other factors affecting the value of the investment portfolio. The continuing uncertainty surrounding the euro and European Monetary Union ( EMU ) has led to significant volatility in currencies and in financial markets in general. Any partial or total unravelling of the EMU, or any persistent uncertainty regarding its status may have a significant detrimental effect on the money and financial markets, as well as on the value of the Fund s investments. Temporary sale of securities: During the financial year, the Fund loaned securities from its portfolio. The revenues resulting from temporary sales of securities are received in full by the Fund, minus any direct or indirect operating expenses generated by such transactions. Exposure obtained through effective portfolio management techniques: As at 31 December 2015 the position in loaned securities was US$2,638,543 with collateral worth US$2,874,747.

72 SSgA Consumer Staples Index Equity Fund. [ sub- f u n d o f S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d ssicav] 2015 Annual Report ISIN Code: P shares: FR I shares: FR I EUR shares : FR I NL EUR shares: FR B shares: FR Classification : International Equities. Management objective: The Fund s objective is to replicate the MSCI Consumer Staples index ( the Index ) as much as possible. The Fund aims to achieve a tracking error of less than 1%. It is possible that the MSCI data cannot be replicated or used for another purpose. MSCI gives no guarantee with respect to the present report, which it has neither prepared nor approved, and accepts no liability in this regard. Benchmark index: MSCI Consumer Staples net dividends reinvested. The index represents all international shares in the non-cyclical consumer goods sector. The asset management company and the custodian are available to provide investors with information concerning the benchmark index, the performance of which is shown in periodical documents and the annual report. Details on the benchmark index can be found in the prospectus. Equity risk exposure: 90% minimum. Method of calculating the comprehensive risk ratio: Commitment calculation method. Recommended minimum investment period: More than five years. Subscribers concerned: Class P shares: All investors. Class I shares: Institutional investors. Class B shares: Reserved for Institutional Investors who have entered into a management agreement, or an agreement that is viewed as equivalent, with the management company or one of its affiliates. Class I NL EUR shares: Reserved for the Netherlands institutional investor sales network. Appropriation of earnings: Accumulation. Tax mode: Accumulation fund. Environmental, social and governance quality criteria: Pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the Fund s investment process is independent from the criteria for compliance with social, environmental and governance quality objectives. Investment strategy: The fund manager uses the investment method or methods he considers best suited to attaining the investment objectives. The management strategy aims to use the pure physical tracking method, which consists of purchasing all the securities that make up the benchmark index in proportion to their respective weightings. The structure of the portfolio is therefore very close to that of the benchmark. In specifically defined circumstances, the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the index. As an index-based mutual fund, the Fund may make use of the exemptions specified by Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code, relating to the investment limits in financial instruments of a single issuer. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in shares or debt securities of the same issuer, and this limit can be raised to 35% for a single issuer when it is deemed justified by exceptional market conditions, in particular on regulated markets in which certain securities or money market instruments are predominant. Depending on regulatory constraints or market constraints, the Fund may be required to use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio. Consequently, the Fund will generally only hold a subset of the securities included in the index. The portfolio is made up of at least 90% international securities from the non-cyclical consumer goods sector. The portfolio may contain up to 10% of negotiable debt securities and money market instruments. The Fund invests up to 10% of its assets in shares or units of mutual funds. It may also, to a limited extent, include equity derivatives and equity index derivatives. Indeed, within the regulatory limits, the Fund may deal in forward financial instruments that are traded on French and foreign regulated markets or on over-the-counter markets, especially index futures, up to a maximum of 10% of the assets. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.

The SICAV s portfolio may include units or shares of mutual funds managed by State Street or financial instruments in which the Group has a special interest. However, at the end of the financial year, this SICAV portfolio did not include any asset of this type. Changes in the securities portfolio during the period: Securities portfolio items Changes (amount) Purchases Sales a) Eligible financial securities and money market instruments admitted for trading on a regulated market pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code 6,746, ,450, b) Eligible financial securities and money market instruments admitted for trading on another regulated market, that operates regularly, is recognised and open to the public and whose registered office is located in a Member State of the European Union, or in another country that is a party to the European Economic Area agreement c) Eligible financial securities and money market instruments admitted for official listing on a securities exchange in a thirdparty country or traded on another market in a third-party country that is regulated, operates regularly, is recognised and open to the public, provided that this securities exchange or market is not contained in a list prepared by the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) or that the choice of that exchange or market is allowed by law or by the Articles of Association of the undertaking for collective investment in transferrable securities. d) The newly issued financial securities mentioned in paragraph 4 of section I of Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code; 13,449, ,260, e) Other assets: These are the assets mentioned in Part II of Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code Financial derivatives: The Fund may also, to a limited extent, include equity derivatives and equity index derivatives. Indeed, within the regulatory limits, the Fund may deal in forward financial instruments that are traded on French and foreign regulated markets or on over-the-counter markets, especially index futures, up to a maximum of 10 % of the assets. Type of instruments used: - On a limited basis, listed derivative instruments, particularly futures contracts on equity indices or equity futures contracts. - On an exceptional basis, unlisted derivative instruments such as equity index swaps, share swaps, or listed or unlisted monetary, bond or interest rate derivative assets. In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. Risk profile: Your money will be invested primarily in financial instruments selected by the management company. These instruments will be exposed to market fluctuations and contingencies. Investors must be aware of the risks set The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

74 SSgA Consumer Staples Index Equity Fund. [ sub- f u n d o f S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d ssicav] 2015 Annual Report out below. Furthermore, the following explanations do not represent a comprehensive list of all the risk factors associated with purchasing shares in the Fund, and investors are invited to make up their own minds about whether it is appropriate to invest. They are also encouraged to seek independent advice before buying any shares in the Fund. The Fund s risk profile is fundamentally identical to, or as close as possible to, that of the tracked index. The Fund is primarily exposed to equity market risks. As a result, its value can increase or decrease according to changes in the markets, and the investor may incur capital losses. Even if the general economic conditions do not change, the Fund's net asset value could decline if the industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests do not perform well or are negatively affected. In addition, there is the likelihood of the following specific risks: - There is no guarantee that the Fund s management objectives will be achieved. In practice, no asset or financial instrument allows the benchmark index to be automatically tracked. The changes made to the Fund s assets and the changing weightings of the benchmark index may bring about various transaction or friction costs. Furthermore, the total return generated by investments in the securities comprising the index shall be reduced because of certain costs and expenses that are not included in the calculation of the index. In addition, the Fund may not be able to fully replicate the performance of the index, in particular due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities comprising the index or exceptional circumstances that may distort the weightings of the index. Furthermore, in the event of a suspension or temporary interruption of the listing of the securities comprising the index or in the event of market disruption, it may prove impossible to rebalance the portfolio of securities comprising the Fund for an unspecified period. The value of the Fund s shares and their income may increase or decrease to reflect changes in the value of the securities in which the Fund invests. - The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk. Some investments and/or types of investment are subject to restrictions when they are sold, may be traded on the over-the-counter market or in limited volumes, or may not benefit from an active trading market. Non-liquid investments may be traded at a lower price with respect to comparable investments that are more liquid, and may be subject to large fluctuations in their market value. It may be hard for the Fund to assign an exact value to illiquid securities. The Fund may also be unable to sell illiquid securities quickly, or sell them at the best time, or sell them at prices close to their value as determined by the Fund. Illiquid securities may also incur registration fees and other transaction fees that are higher than those that apply to liquid securities. - The Fund s investments are managed with the objective of matching the performance of the Benchmark Index. Consequently, the Fund is subject to a tracking error risk, which is the risk that the performance of the Fund s investments fails to match that of the benchmark index. Although the Fund aims to be fully invested at all times, it may from time to time have to hold a portion of its assets as cash. The capacity of the Fund to obtain a substantial correlation between the performance of the Fund and the Benchmark Index may be affected by changes in stock markets, changes in the composition of the Benchmark, cash inflows and outflows to and from the Fund, as well as applicable charges and commissions. The Fund will strive to track the performance of the Benchmark regardless of the current or expected performance of the Benchmark or of the securities that comprise it. In addition, the Fund will generally not sell a security included in the Benchmark as long as the security is part of the Benchmark, notwithstanding any foreseeable sudden or significant decline in the value of the security, even if the asset management company may take a different investment decision for other funds holding the security. The Fund s performance may therefore be below that of a portfolio managed using an active investment strategy. The structure and the composition of the Benchmark will affect the performance, volatility and risk of the Benchmark (in absolute terms and in comparison with other indices) as well as the performance, volatility and risk of the Fund. Investors must also be aware that the Fund will be exposed to a credit risk on the parties with which it deals and may incur a payment default risk. It is possible that (i) the ability of an issuer to honour its obligations substantially declines in periods in which the Fund holds securities of said issuer, (ii) said issuer defaults on its obligations, or (iii) an issuer s obligations on a security held by the Fund are limited or restructured. Any real or perceived degradation of an issuer s ability to honour its obligations will probably have a negative effect on the value of the issuer's securities and on the net asset value of the Fund. The rating assigned to an investment does not necessarily reflect the current financial situation of the issuer or an evaluation of the volatility or liquidity of an investment. Even if investment grade investments present a lower credit risk compared to lower-rated investments, they can present certain common risks, including the possibility that their issuers are not able to make on-time interest and principal payments and thereby default on payments. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.
75 SSgA Consumer Staples Index Equity Fund. [ sub- f u n d o f S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d ssicav] 2015 Annual Report - Risk linked to securities lending: The Fund may participate in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company. When the Fund becomes involved in securities lending transactions, it becomes exposed to the counterparty s credit risk, because the borrower may be unable to meet its obligations under the loan, could become insolvent or could default or refuse to fulfil its obligations concerning the return of the loaned or equivalent securities. Should this happen, the Fund might be exposed to delays in the return of securities and suffer a capital loss. This could lead to a fall in the Fund s net asset value. The Fund may hedge its exposure to counterparty risk by requiring that the counterparty provide collateral in the form of securities such as shares or debt securities. In the event of a counterparty default and non-recovery of the securities corresponding to those loaned, the Fund may suffer a loss equal to the negative difference between the value of the securities received as collateral and the market value of the substitute securities. Such a negative difference can be explained by poor valuation of the assets received as collateral, unfavourable stock market fluctuations, lack of liquidity on the markets where the securities received as collateral are traded or a downgrading of the credit rating of the counterparty concerned. Participation in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company might lead to less favourable financial results compared with another securities lending program available on the market or a situation in which the Fund lends its securities outside the programme. Pursuant to the provisions of the securities lending agreement in question, the designated lending agent may retain a portion of the income from the securities lending to cover the fees and costs linked to this securities lending activity, including the delivery of the loaned securities, management of guarantees and management of the compensation linked to the securities lending; all fees will be paid at normal commercial interest rates. - French and eurozone investors will be exposed to a currency exchange risk The Fund is exposed to currency risk via the acquisition of or exposure to securities denominated in a currency other than the Fund s base currency. Fluctuations in the values of these currencies against the Fund s base currency may have a positive or negative effect on the Fund s investments that are denominated in such currencies. Although it is not required to do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange contracts, or other currency-related transactions (including derivative transactions), in order to manage exposure to different currencies. These contracts (i) may reduce or eliminate all or part of the profit that the Fund may make as a result of favourable currency fluctuations and (ii) cannot guarantee to protect the Fund against unfavourable fluctuations. - Derivative-related risk: The use of derivatives by the Fund may give rise to risks which differ from those associated with investments in financial securities and other more conventional investments. These risks include, among others, risks of illiquidity, valuation, volatility, market, credit, counterparty, leverage effect, management or other risks linked to commodities related to such products, as well as the risk of losing more than the initial investment. Risk of conflicts of interest: Companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company may offer services to the Fund, such as securities lending management services, custodian services, administration and registrar services, valuation or paying agent services. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and derivative transactions with companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company. The Fund may invest in mutual funds for which the Asset Management Company is the promotion agent or which are affiliated to it or are affiliated to any entity of the State Street group. In this case, the Fund will pay a proportional share of the fees of these underlying mutual funds. In addition, they can pay the fees to the Asset Management Company or its affiliated companies, which may have the effect of increasing the expenses paid by the Fund. There is no guarantee that the rates at which the Fund pays its fees and expenses to the Asset Management Company or to its affiliated companies, or the conditions under which it concludes transactions with entities of the State Street group, or under which it invests in the said mutual funds are the most favourable on the market in general or are as favourable as the rates that the entities in question propose to their clients. There will be no independent review of the fees or expenses paid to these entities nor of the services that they deliver. Due to its financial interest, the Asset Management Company may be encouraged to conclude transactions or make arrangements on behalf of the Fund with the affiliated companies under certain circumstances. The conclusion of transactions with the Management Company or its Affiliated companies or their intermediary, or the use of their services, will be made in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. The Management Company and its affiliated companies provide investment consultancy advice to other customers and may make investment decisions on their own account and on behalf of third parties, especially other funds, which may differ from the decisions that will be taken by the Asset Management Company for the Fund. In particular, the Asset Management Company may provide asset allocation advice to other customers comprising an investment recommendation or divestment for a fund and might not make the same recommendation to all customers invested in the same fund or in similar funds. Other conflicts of interest may arise, for example, when clients of the Asset Management Company invest in different portions of the capital structure of an issuer, meaning that one or more clients hold senior bonds of an The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

Under these circumstances, decisions to trigger a case of failure or relative to the terms of an arrangement may generate conflicts of interest. During investment decisions that may raise a conflict of interest, the Asset Management Company will endeavour to act fairly and justly, in accordance with its conflict of interest policy, towards the fund concerned and towards other customers. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the asset management company and its affiliated companies may invest their own assets and on behalf of clients in various senior securities, equal or lower or hold different or opposing interests to the securities held by the Fund and (ii) the asset management company may occasionally (subject to applicable law) simultaneously seek to buy (or sell) investments for the Fund and sell (or buy) the same investments for accounts, funds or structured products for which it acts as asset manager; during the period under consideration or in the future, or for its clients or affiliates, and may carry out crossed transactions under these circumstances. Furthermore, the asset management company and its affiliates may buy or sell fund securities, if allowed by the applicable law. These other relations may also cause the applicability of the restrictions provided by the law of financial securities to the Fund s transactions on these instruments and created potential conflicts of interest for the asset management company. The asset management company, as part of its other professional activities, may acquire material non-public confidential information that may prevent it from buying or selling the securities for itself or its clients (including the Fund) or from using such information for the benefit of its clients or for its own benefit. - The Fund is exposed to the risk that geopolitical events may disrupt the securities markets, and lead to a deterioration in global economies and markets. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events have resulted and may result in the future in increased short-term market volatility, and could have damaging long-term effects on the global economy and on markets in general. These events, as well as other changes in economic and political conditions, could also be harmful to individual issuers or groups of linked issuers, to securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiments, as well as to other factors affecting the value of the investment portfolio. The continuing uncertainty surrounding the euro and European Monetary Union ( EMU ) has led to significant volatility in currencies and in financial markets in general. Any partial or total unravelling of the EMU, or any persistent uncertainty regarding its status may have a significant detrimental effect on the money and financial markets, as well as on the value of the Fund s investments. Temporary sale of securities: During the financial year, the Fund loaned securities from its portfolio. The revenues resulting from temporary sales of securities are received in full by the Fund, minus any direct or indirect operating expenses generated by such transactions. Exposure obtained through effective portfolio management techniques: As at 31 December 2015 the position in loaned securities was US$1, with collateral worth US$ 1,221, Identity of the counterparty (parties) to these effective portfolio management techniques: The lending agent is State Street Bank GMBH. At 31 December 2015, the active counterparties were: BARCLAYS CAPITAL SECURITIES LIMITED DEUTSCHE BANK AG HSBC BANK PLC JP MORGAN SECURITIES PLC MERRILL LYNCH INTERNATIONAL MORGAN STANLEY & CO. INTERNATIONAL PLC. UBS AG Type and amount of the financial guarantees received by the Fund in order to minimise its counterparty risk: At 31 December, the collateral was held according to the following ratio: The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

107 SSgA Energy Index Equity Fund. [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report ISIN Code: P shares: FR I Shares: FR I EUR Shares: FR I NL EUR shares: FR B shares: FR Classification : International Equities. Management objective: The Fund s objective is to track the performance of the MSCI Energy Index ( the Index ) as much as possible. The Fund aims to achieve a tracking error of less than 1%. It is possible that the MSCI data cannot be replicated or used for another purpose. MSCI gives no guarantee with respect to the present report, which it has neither prepared nor approved, and accepts no liability in this regard. Benchmark index: MSCI Energy with net dividends reinvested. This index represents all international equities in the energy sector. The asset management company and the custodian are available to provide investors with information concerning the benchmark index, the performance of which is shown in periodical documents and the annual report. Details on the benchmark index can be found in the prospectus. Equity risk exposure: 90% minimum. Method of calculating the comprehensive risk ratio: Commitment calculation method. Recommended minimum investment period: More than five years. Subscribers concerned: Class P shares: All investors. Class I shares: Institutional investors. Class B shares: Reserved for Institutional Investors who have entered into a management agreement, or an agreement that is viewed as equivalent, with the management company or one of its affiliates. Class I NL EUR shares: Reserved for the Netherlands institutional investor sales network. Appropriation of earnings: Accumulation. Tax mode: Accumulation fund. Environmental, social and governance quality criteria: Pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the Fund s investment process is independent from the criteria for compliance with social, environmental and governance quality objectives. Investment strategy: The fund manager uses the investment method or methods he considers best suited to attaining the investment objectives. The management strategy aims to use the pure physical tracking method that consists of purchasing all the securities that make up the benchmark index in proportion to their respective weightings. The structure of the portfolio is therefore very close to that of the benchmark. In specifically defined circumstances, the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the index. As an index-based mutual fund, the Fund may make use of the exemptions specified by Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code, relating to the investment limits in financial instruments of a single issuer. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in shares or debt securities of the same issuer, and this limit can be raised to 35% for a single issuer when it is deemed justified by exceptional market conditions, in particular on regulated markets in which certain securities or money market instruments are predominant. Depending on regulatory constraints or market constraints, the Fund may be required to use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio. Consequently, the Fund will generally only hold a subset of the securities included in the index. The portfolio is made up of at least 90% international equities from the energy sector. The portfolio may contain up to 10% of negotiable debt securities and money market instruments. The Fund invests up to 10% of its assets in shares or units of mutual funds. It may also, to a limited extent, include equity derivatives and equity index derivatives. Indeed, within the regulatory limits, the Fund may deal in forward financial instruments that are traded on French and foreign The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.

In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. The SICAV s portfolio may include units or shares of mutual funds managed by State Street or financial instruments in which the Group has a special interest. However, at the end of the financial year, this SICAV portfolio did not include any asset of this type. Changes in the securities portfolio during the period: Securities portfolio items Changes (amount) Purchases Sales a) Eligible financial securities and money market instruments admitted for trading on a regulated market pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code 1,186, ,882, b) Eligible financial securities and money market instruments admitted for trading on another regulated market, that operates regularly, is recognised and open to the public and whose registered office is located in a Member State of the European Union, or in another country that is a party to the European Economic Area agreement c) Eligible financial securities and money market instruments admitted for official listing on a securities exchange in a thirdparty country or traded on another market in a third-party country that is regulated, operates regularly, is recognised and open to the public, provided that this securities exchange or market is not contained in a list prepared by the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) or that the choice of that exchange or market is allowed by law or by the Articles of Association of the undertaking for collective investment in transferrable securities. d) The newly issued financial securities mentioned in paragraph 4 of section I of Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code; 3,932, ,495, e) Other assets: These are the assets mentioned in Part II of Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code Financial derivatives: The Fund may also, to a limited extent, include equity derivatives and equity index derivatives. Indeed, within the regulatory limits, the Fund may deal in forward financial instruments that are traded on French and foreign regulated markets or on over-the-counter markets, especially index futures, up to a maximum of 10% of the assets. Type of instruments used: - On a limited basis, listed derivative instruments, particularly futures contracts on equity indices or equity futures contracts. - On an exceptional basis, unlisted derivative instruments such as equity index swaps, share swaps, or listed or unlisted monetary, bond or interest rate derivative assets. In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivatives is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. Risk profile: The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

109 SSgA Energy Index Equity Fund. [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report Your money will be invested primarily in financial instruments selected by the management company. These instruments will be exposed to market fluctuations and contingencies. Investors must be aware of the risks set out below. Furthermore, the following explanations do not represent a comprehensive list of all the risk factors associated with purchasing shares in the Fund, and investors are invited to make up their own minds about whether it is appropriate to invest. They are also encouraged to seek independent advice before buying any shares in the Fund. The Fund s risk profile is fundamentally identical to, or as close as possible to, that of the tracked index. The Fund is primarily exposed to risks on the equity markets. As a result, its value can increase or decrease according to changes in the markets, and the investor may incur capital losses. Even if the general economic conditions do not change, the Fund's net asset value could decline if the industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests do not perform well or are negatively affected. In addition, there is the likelihood of the following specific risks: - There is no guarantee that the Fund s management objectives will be achieved. In practice, no asset or financial instrument allows the benchmark index to be automatically tracked. The changes made to the Fund s assets and the changing weightings of the benchmark index may bring about various transaction costs or other expenses. Furthermore, the total return generated by investments in the securities comprising the index shall be reduced because of certain costs and expenses that are not included in the calculation of the index. In addition, the Fund may not be able to fully replicate the performance of the index, in particular due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities comprising the index or exceptional circumstances that may distort the weightings of the index. Furthermore, in the event of a suspension or temporary interruption of the pricing of the securities comprising the index or in the event of market disruption, it may prove impossible to rebalance the portfolio of securities comprising the Fund for an unspecified period. The value of the Fund s shares and their income may increase or decrease to reflect changes in the value of the securities in which the Fund invests. - The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk. Some investments and/or types of investment are subject to restrictions when they are sold, may be traded on the over-the-counter market or in limited volumes, or may not benefit from an active trading market. Non-liquid investments may be traded at a lower price with respect to comparable investments that are more liquid, and may be subject to large fluctuations in their market value. It may be hard for the Fund to assign an exact value to illiquid securities. The Fund may also be unable to sell illiquid securities quickly, or sell them at the best time, or sell them at prices close to their value as determined by the Fund. Illiquid securities may also incur registration fees and other transaction fees that are higher than those that apply to liquid securities. - The Fund s investments are managed with the objective of matching the performance of the Benchmark Index. Consequently, the Fund is subject to a tracking error risk, which is the risk that the performance of the Fund s investments fails to match that of the benchmark index. Although the Fund aims to be fully invested at all times, it may from time to time have to hold a portion of its assets as cash. The capacity of the Fund to obtain a substantial correlation between the performance of the Fund and the Benchmark Index may be affected by changes in stock markets, changes in the composition of the Benchmark, cash inflows and outflows to and from the Fund, as well as applicable charges and commissions. The Fund will strive to track the performance of the Benchmark regardless of the current or expected performance of the Benchmark or of the securities that comprise it. In addition, the Fund will generally not sell a security included in the Benchmark as long as the security is part of the Benchmark, notwithstanding any foreseeable sudden or significant decline in the value of the security, even if the asset management company may take a different investment decision for other funds holding the security. The Fund s performance may therefore be below that of a portfolio managed using an active investment strategy. The structure and the composition of the Benchmark will affect its performance, volatility and risk (in absolute terms and by comparison to other indices) as well as the performance, volatility and risk of the Fund. Investors must also be aware that the Fund will be exposed to a credit risk on the parties with which it deals and may, in addition, incur the risk of payment default. It is possible that (i) the ability of an issuer to honour its obligations substantially declines in periods in which the Fund holds securities of said issuer, (ii) said issuer defaults on its obligations, or (iii) an issuer s obligations on a security held by the Fund are limited or restructured. Any real or perceived degradation of an issuer s ability to honour its obligations will probably have a negative effect on the value of the issuer's securities and on the net asset value of the Fund. The rating assigned to an investment does not necessarily reflect the current financial situation of the issuer or an evaluation of the volatility or liquidity of an investment. Even if investment grade investments present a lower The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

110 SSgA Energy Index Equity Fund. [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report credit risk compared to lower-rated investments, they can present certain common risks, including the possibility that their issuers are not able to make on-time interest and principal payments and thereby default on payments. - Risk linked to securities lending: The Fund may participate in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company. When the Fund becomes involved in securities lending transactions, it becomes exposed to the counterparty s credit risk, because the borrower may be unable to meet its obligations under the loan, could become insolvent or could default or refuse to fulfil its obligations concerning the return of the loaned or equivalent securities. Should this happen, the Fund might be exposed to delays in the return of securities and suffer a capital loss. This could lead to a fall in the Fund s net asset value. The Fund may hedge its exposure to counterparty risk by requiring that the counterparty provide collateral in the form of securities such as shares or debt securities. In the event of a counterparty default and non-recovery of the securities corresponding to those loaned, the Fund may suffer a loss equal to the negative difference between the value of the securities received as collateral and the market value of the substitute securities. Such a negative difference can be explained by poor valuation of the assets received as collateral, unfavourable stock market fluctuations, lack of liquidity on the markets where the securities received as collateral are traded or a downgrading of the credit rating of the counterparty concerned. Participation in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company might lead to less favourable financial results compared with another securities lending program available on the market or a situation in which the Fund lends its securities outside the programme. Pursuant to the provisions of the securities lending agreement in question, the designated lending agent may retain a portion of the income from the securities lending to cover the fees and costs linked to this securities lending activity, including the delivery of the loaned securities, management of guarantees and management of the compensation linked to the securities lending; all fees will be paid at normal commercial interest rates. - French and eurozone investors will be exposed to a currency exchange risk The Fund is exposed to currency risk via the acquisition of or exposure to securities denominated in a currency other than the Fund s base currency. Fluctuations in the values of these currencies against the Fund s base currency may have a positive or negative effect on the Fund s investments that are denominated in such currencies. Although it is not required to do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange contracts, or other currency-related transactions (including derivative transactions), in order to manage exposure to different currencies. These contracts (i) may reduce or eliminate all or part of the profit that the Fund may make as a result of favourable currency fluctuations and (ii) cannot guarantee to protect the Fund against unfavourable fluctuations. - Derivative-related risk:: The use of derivatives by the Fund may give rise to risks which differ from those associated with investments in financial securities and other more conventional investments. These risks include, among others, risks of illiquidity, valuation, volatility, market, credit, counterparty, leverage effect, management or other risks linked to commodities related to such products, as well as the risk of losing more than the initial investment. Risk of conflicts of interest: Companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company may offer services to the Fund, such as securities lending management services, custodian services, administration and registrar services, valuation or paying agent services. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and derivative transactions with companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company. The Fund may invest in mutual funds for which the Asset Management Company is the promotion agent or which are affiliated to it or are affiliated to any entity of the State Street group. In this case, the Fund will pay a proportional share of the fees of these underlying mutual funds. In addition, they can pay the fees to the Asset Management Company or its affiliated companies, which may have the effect of increasing the expenses paid by the Fund. There is no guarantee that the rates at which the Fund pays its fees and expenses to the Asset Management Company or to its affiliated companies, or the conditions under which it concludes transactions with entities of the State Street group, or under which it invests in the said mutual funds are the most favourable on the market in general or are as favourable as the rates that the entities in question propose to their clients. There will be no independent review of the fees or expenses paid to these entities nor of the services that they deliver. Due to its financial interest, the Asset Management Company may be encouraged to conclude transactions or make arrangements on behalf of the Fund with the affiliated companies under certain circumstances. The conclusion of transactions with the Management Company or its Affiliated companies or their intermediary, or the use of their services, will be made in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. The Management Company and its affiliated companies provide investment consultancy advice to other customers and may make investment decisions on their own account and on behalf of third parties, especially other funds, which may differ from the decisions that will be taken by the Asset Management Company for the Fund. In particular, the Asset Management Company may provide asset allocation advice to other customers comprising an investment recommendation or divestment for a fund and might not make the same recommendation to all customers invested in the same fund or in similar funds. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.

[ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report Other conflicts of interest may arise, for example, when clients of the Asset Management Company invest in different portions of the capital structure of an issuer, meaning that one or more clients hold senior bonds of an issuer while other clients hold subordinated bonds of the same issuer; this may also be the case when clients invest in different tranches of the same structured financial instrument. Under these circumstances, decisions to trigger a case of failure or relative to the terms of an arrangement may generate conflicts of interest. During investment decisions that may raise a conflict of interest, the Asset Management Company will endeavour to act fairly and justly, in accordance with its conflict of interest policy, towards the fund concerned and towards other customers. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the asset management company and its affiliated companies may invest their own assets and on behalf of clients in various senior securities, equal or lower or hold different or opposing interests to the securities held by the Fund and (ii) the asset management company may occasionally (subject to applicable law) simultaneously seek to buy (or sell) investments for the Fund and sell (or buy) the same investments for accounts, funds or structured products for which it acts as asset manager; during the period under consideration or in the future, or for its clients or affiliates, and may carry out crossed transactions under these circumstances. Furthermore, the asset management company and its affiliates may buy or sell fund securities, if allowed by the applicable law. These other relations may also cause the applicability of the restrictions provided by the law of financial securities to the Fund s transactions on these instruments and created potential conflicts of interest for the asset management company. The asset management company, as part of its other professional activities, may acquire material non-public confidential information that may prevent it from buying or selling the securities for itself or its clients (including the Fund) or from using such information for the benefit of its clients or for its own benefit. - The Fund is exposed to the risk that geopolitical events may disrupt the securities markets, and lead to a deterioration in global economies and markets. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events have resulted and may result in the future in increased short-term market volatility, and could have damaging long-term effects on the global economy and on markets in general. These events, as well as other changes in economic and political conditions, could also be harmful to individual issuers or groups of linked issuers, to securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiments, as well as to other factors affecting the value of the investment portfolio. The continuing uncertainty surrounding the euro and European Monetary Union ( EMU ) has led to significant volatility in currencies and in financial markets in general. Any partial or total unravelling of the EMU, or any persistent uncertainty regarding its status may have a significant detrimental effect on the money and financial markets, as well as on the value of the Fund s investments. Temporary sale of securities: During the financial year, the Fund loaned securities from its portfolio. The revenues resulting from temporary sales of securities are received in full by the Fund, minus any direct or indirect operating expenses generated by such transactions. Exposure obtained through effective portfolio management techniques: As at 31 December 2015 the position in loaned securities was US$2, with collateral worth US$ 2,565, Identity of the counterparty (parties) to these effective portfolio management techniques: The lending agent is State Street Bank GMBH. At 31 December 2015, the active counterparties were: BARCLAYS CAPITAL SECURITIES LIMITED CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS LIMITED CREDIT SUISSE SECURITIES (EUROPE) LIMITED DEUTSCHE BANK AG GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL HSBC BANK PLC JP MORGAN SECURITIES PLC MORGAN STANLEY & CO.

142 SSgA EMU Index Real Estate Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d ssicav] 2015 Annual Report ISIN Code: P shares: FR I Shares: FR B shares: FR Classification : International Equities. Management objective: The Fund s objective is to track the performance of the S&P/Citigroup BMI Eurozone Property index ( the Index ) as closely as possible. The Fund aims to achieve a tracking error of less than 1%. Citigroup Index LLC does not promote nor provide and guarantee nor assume any liability of any kind whatsoever with respect to the index or the Fund. Benchmark index: S&P/Citigroup BMI Eurozone Property net dividends reinvested. The index represents all eurozone equities in the real estate sector. The asset management company and the custodian are available to provide investors with information concerning the benchmark index, the performance of which is shown in periodical documents and the annual report. Details on the benchmark index can be found in the prospectus. Equity risk exposure: 90% minimum. Method of calculating the comprehensive risk ratio: Commitment calculation method. Recommended minimum investment period: More than five years. Subscribers concerned: Class P shares: All investors. Class I shares: Institutional investors. Class B shares: Reserved for Institutional Investors who have entered into a management agreement, or an agreement that is viewed as equivalent, with the management company or one of its affiliates. Appropriation of earnings: Accumulation. Tax mode: Accumulation fund. This Fund is eligible for use in a PEA ( Plan d Epargne en Actions French equity savings plan), and may therefore benefit from the special tax rules applicable thereto. Proportion of investment of assets in PEA-eligible securities or rights: In accordance with its prospectus, a minimum of 90% of the Fund has been permanently invested in shares in the eurozone belonging to the real estate sector, and PEA-eligible securities. Environmental, social and governance quality criteria: Pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the Fund s investment process is independent from the criteria for compliance with social, environmental and governance quality objectives. Investment strategy: The fund manager uses the investment method or methods he considers best suited to attaining the investment objectives. The management strategy aims to use the pure physical tracking method that consists of purchasing all the securities that make up the benchmark index in proportion to their respective weightings. The structure of the portfolio is therefore very close to that of the benchmark. In specifically defined circumstances, the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the index. As an index-based mutual fund, the Fund may make use of the exemptions specified by Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code, relating to the investment limits in financial instruments of a single issuer. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in shares or debt securities of the same issuer, and this limit can be raised to 35% for a single issuer when it is deemed justified by exceptional market conditions, in particular on regulated markets in which certain securities or money market instruments are predominant. Depending on regulatory constraints or market constraints, the Fund may be required to use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio. Consequently, the Fund will generally only hold a subset of the securities included in the index. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.

The portfolio may contain up to 10% of negotiable debt securities and money market instruments. The Fund invests up to 10% of its assets in shares or units of mutual funds. It may also, to a limited extent, include equity derivatives and equity index derivatives. Indeed, within the regulatory limits, the Fund may deal in forward financial instruments that are traded on French and foreign regulated markets or on over-the-counter markets, especially index futures, up to a maximum of 10% of the assets. In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. The SICAV s portfolio may include units or shares of mutual funds managed by State Street or financial instruments in which the Group has a special interest. However, at the end of the financial year, this SICAV portfolio did not include any asset of this type.

144 SSgA EMU Index Real Estate Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d ssicav] 2015 Annual Report In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. Risk profile: Your money will be invested primarily in financial instruments selected by the management company. These instruments will be exposed to market fluctuations and contingencies. Investors must be aware of the risks set out below. Furthermore, the following explanations do not represent a comprehensive list of all the risk factors associated with purchasing shares in the Fund, and investors are invited to make up their own minds about whether it is appropriate to invest. They are also encouraged to seek independent advice before buying any shares in the Fund. The Fund s risk profile is fundamentally identical to, or as close as possible to, that of the tracked index. The Fund is primarily exposed to equity market risks. As a result, its value can increase or decrease according to changes in the markets, and the investor may incur capital losses. Even if the general economic conditions do not change, the Fund's net asset value could decline if the industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests do not perform well or are negatively affected. In addition, there is the likelihood of the following specific risks: - There is no guarantee that the Fund s management objectives will be achieved. In practice, no asset or financial instrument allows the benchmark index to be automatically tracked. The changes made to the Fund s assets and the changing weightings of the benchmark index may bring about various transaction or friction costs. Furthermore, the total return generated by investments in the securities comprising the index shall be reduced because of certain costs and expenses that are not included in the calculation of the index. In addition, the Fund may not be able to fully replicate the performance of the index, in particular due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities comprising the index or exceptional circumstances that may distort the weightings of the index. Furthermore, in the event of a suspension or temporary interruption of the listing of the securities comprising the index or in the event of market disruption, it may prove impossible to rebalance the portfolio of securities comprising the Fund for an unspecified period. The value of the Fund s shares and their income may increase or decrease to reflect changes in the value of the securities in which the Fund invests. - The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk. Some investments and/or types of investment are subject to restrictions when they are sold, may be traded on the over-the-counter market or in limited volumes, or may not benefit from an active trading market. Non-liquid investments may be traded at a lower price with respect to comparable investments that are more liquid, and may be subject to large fluctuations in their market value. It may be hard for the Fund to assign an exact value to illiquid securities. The Fund may also be unable to sell illiquid securities quickly, or sell them at the best time, or sell them at prices close to their value as determined by the Fund. Illiquid securities may also incur registration fees and other transaction fees that are higher than those that apply to liquid securities. - The Fund s investments are managed with the objective of matching the performance of the Benchmark Index. Consequently, the Fund is subject to a tracking error risk, which is the risk that the performance of the Fund s investments fails to match that of the benchmark index. Although the Fund aims to be fully invested at all times, it may from time to time have to hold a portion of its assets as cash. The capacity of the Fund to obtain a substantial correlation between the performance of the Fund and the Benchmark Index may be affected by changes in stock markets, changes in the composition of the Benchmark, cash inflows and outflows to and from the Fund, as well as applicable charges and commissions. The Fund will strive to track the performance of the Benchmark regardless of the current or expected performance of the Benchmark or of the securities that comprise it. In addition, the Fund will generally not sell a security included in the Benchmark as long as the security is part of the Benchmark, notwithstanding any foreseeable sudden or significant decline in the value of the security, even if the asset management company may take a different investment decision for other funds holding the security. The Fund s performance may therefore be below that of a portfolio managed using an active investment strategy. The structure and the composition of the Benchmark will affect the performance, volatility and risk of the Benchmark (in absolute terms and in comparison with other indices) as well as the performance, volatility and risk of the Fund. Investors must also be aware that the Fund will be exposed to a credit risk on the parties with which it deals and may incur a payment default risk. It is possible that (i) the ability of an issuer to honour its obligations substantially declines in periods in which the Fund holds securities of said issuer, (ii) said issuer defaults on its obligations, or (iii) an issuer s obligations on a security held by the Fund are limited or restructured. Any real or The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.
145 SSgA EMU Index Real Estate Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d ssicav] 2015 Annual Report perceived degradation of an issuer s ability to honour its obligations will probably have a negative effect on the value of the issuer's securities and on the net asset value of the Fund. The rating assigned to an investment does not necessarily reflect the current financial situation of the issuer or an evaluation of the volatility or liquidity of an investment. Even if investment grade investments present a lower credit risk compared to lower-rated investments, they can present certain common risks, including the possibility that their issuers are not able to make on-time interest and principal payments and thereby default on payments. - Risk linked to securities lending: The Fund may participate in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company. When the Fund becomes involved in securities lending transactions, it becomes exposed to the counterparty s credit risk, because the borrower may be unable to meet its obligations under the loan, could become insolvent or could default or refuse to fulfil its obligations concerning the return of the loaned or equivalent securities. Should this happen, the Fund might be exposed to delays in the return of securities and suffer a capital loss. This could lead to a fall in the Fund s net asset value. The Fund may hedge its exposure to counterparty risk by requiring that the counterparty provide collateral in the form of securities such as shares or debt securities. In the event of a counterparty default and non-recovery of the securities corresponding to those loaned, the Fund may suffer a loss equal to the negative difference between the value of the securities received as collateral and the market value of the substitute securities. Such a negative difference can be explained by poor valuation of the assets received as collateral, unfavourable stock market fluctuations, lack of liquidity on the markets where the securities received as collateral are traded or a downgrading of the credit rating of the counterparty concerned. Participation in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company might lead to less favourable financial results compared with another securities lending program available on the market or a situation in which the Fund lends its securities outside the programme. Pursuant to the provisions of the securities lending agreement in question, the designated lending agent may retain a portion of the income from the securities lending to cover the fees and costs linked to this securities lending activity, including the delivery of the loaned securities, management of guarantees and management of the compensation linked to the securities lending; all fees will be paid at normal commercial interest rates. - French and eurozone investors will be exposed to a currency exchange risk. The Fund is exposed to currency risk via the acquisition of or exposure to securities denominated in a currency other than the Fund s base currency. Fluctuations in the values of these currencies against the Fund s base currency may have a positive or negative effect on the Fund s investments that are denominated in such currencies. Although it is not required to do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange contracts, or other currency-related transactions (including derivative transactions), in order to manage exposure to different currencies. These contracts (i) may reduce or eliminate all or part of the profit that the Fund may make as a result of favourable currency fluctuations and (ii) cannot guarantee to protect the Fund against unfavourable fluctuations. Derivative-related risk: The use of derivatives by the Fund may give rise to risks which differ from those associated with investments in financial securities and other more conventional investments. These risks include, among others, risks of illiquidity, valuation, volatility, market, credit, counterparty, leverage effect, management or other risks linked to commodities related to such products, as well as the risk of losing more than the initial investment. Risk of conflicts of interest: Companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company may offer services to the Fund, such as securities lending management services, custodian services, administration and registrar services, valuation or paying agent services. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and derivative transactions with companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company. The Fund may invest in mutual funds for which the Asset Management Company is the promotion agent or which are affiliated to it or are affiliated to any entity of the State Street group. In this case, the Fund will pay a proportional share of the fees of these underlying mutual funds. In addition, they can pay the fees to the Asset Management Company or its affiliated companies, which may have the effect of increasing the expenses paid by the Fund. There is no guarantee that the rates at which the Fund pays its fees and expenses to the Asset Management Company or to its affiliated companies, or the conditions under which it concludes transactions with entities of the State Street group, or under which it invests in the said mutual funds are the most favourable on the market in general or are as favourable as the rates that the entities in question propose to their clients. There will be no independent review of the fees or expenses paid to these entities nor of the services that they deliver. Due to its financial interest, the Asset Management Company may be encouraged to conclude transactions or make arrangements on behalf of the Fund with the affiliated companies under certain circumstances. The conclusion of transactions with the Management Company or its Affiliated companies or their intermediary, or the use of their services, will be made in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. The Management Company and its affiliated companies provide investment consultancy advice to other customers and may make investment decisions on their own account and on behalf of third parties, especially The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.
146 SSgA EMU Index Real Estate Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d ssicav] 2015 Annual Report other funds, which may differ from the decisions that will be taken by the Asset Management Company for the Fund. In particular, the Asset Management Company may provide asset allocation advice to other customers comprising an investment recommendation or divestment for a fund and might not make the same recommendation to all customers invested in the same fund or in similar funds. Other conflicts of interest may arise, for example, when clients of the Asset Management Company invest in different portions of the capital structure of an issuer, meaning that one or more clients hold senior bonds of an issuer while other clients hold subordinated bonds of the same issuer; this may also be the case when clients invest in different tranches of the same structured financial instrument. Under these circumstances, decisions to trigger a case of failure or relative to the terms of an arrangement may generate conflicts of interest. During investment decisions that may raise a conflict of interest, the Asset Management Company will endeavour to act fairly and justly, in accordance with its conflict of interest policy, towards the fund concerned and towards other customers. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the asset management company and its affiliated companies may invest their own assets and on behalf of clients in various senior securities, equal or lower or hold different or opposing interests to the securities held by the Fund and (ii) the asset management company may occasionally (subject to applicable law) simultaneously seek to buy (or sell) investments for the Fund and sell (or buy) the same investments for accounts, funds or structured products for which it acts as asset manager; during the period under consideration or in the future, or for its clients or affiliates, and may carry out crossed transactions under these circumstances. Furthermore, the asset management company and its affiliates may buy or sell fund securities, if allowed by the applicable law. These other relations may also cause the applicability of the restrictions provided by the law of financial securities to the Fund s transactions on these instruments and created potential conflicts of interest for the asset management company. The asset management company, as part of its other professional activities, may acquire material non-public confidential information that may prevent it from buying or selling the securities for itself or its clients (including the Fund) or from using such information for the benefit of its clients or for its own benefit. The Fund is exposed to the risk that geopolitical events may disrupt the securities markets, and lead to a deterioration in global economies and markets. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events have resulted and may result in the future in increased short-term market volatility, and could have damaging long-term effects on the global economy and on markets in general. These events, as well as other changes in economic and political conditions, could also be harmful to individual issuers or groups of linked issuers, to securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiments, as well as to other factors affecting the value of the investment portfolio. The continuing uncertainty surrounding the euro and European Monetary Union ( EMU ) has led to significant volatility in currencies and in financial markets in general. Any partial or total unravelling of the EMU, or any persistent uncertainty regarding its status may have a significant detrimental effect on the money and financial markets, as well as on the value of the Fund s investments.

Management objective: The Fund s objective is to track the performance of the EPRA Europe ex UK Liquid 40 Index ( the Index ) as much as possible. The Fund aims to achieve a tracking error of less than 1%. The Index is provided by FTSE International Limited ( FTSE ). FTSE and EPRA do not promote nor give any guarantees nor assume any liability whatsoever with respect to the SSgA Europe ex UK Index Real Estate Fund. For further information on the Index, please consult the prospectus. Benchmark index: EPRA Europe ex UK Liquide 40 with net dividends reinvested. This index represents all European and international equities outside the UK in the listed real estate sector. The index is calculated by EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association). The asset management company and the custodian are available to provide investors with information concerning the benchmark index, the performance of which is shown in periodical documents and the annual report. Details on the benchmark index can be found in the prospectus. Equity risk exposure: 90% minimum. Method of calculating the comprehensive risk ratio: Commitment calculation method. Recommended minimum investment period: More than five years. Subscribers concerned: Class P shares: All investors. Class I shares: Institutional investors. Class B shares: Reserved for Institutional Investors who have entered into a management agreement, or an agreement that is viewed as equivalent, with the management company or one of its affiliates. Appropriation of earnings: Accumulation. Tax mode: Accumulation fund. Environmental, social and governance quality criteria: Pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the Fund s investment process is independent from the criteria for compliance with social, environmental and governance quality objectives. Investment strategy: The fund manager uses the investment method or methods he considers best suited to attaining the investment objectives. The management strategy aims to use the pure physical tracking method that consists of purchasing all the securities that make up the benchmark index in proportion to their respective weightings. In specifically defined circumstances, the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the index. As an index-based mutual fund, the Fund may make use of the exemptions specified by Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code, relating to the investment limits in financial instruments of a single issuer. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in shares or debt securities of the same issuer, and this limit can be raised to 35% for a single issuer when it is deemed justified by exceptional market conditions, in particular on regulated markets in which certain securities or money market instruments are predominant. Depending on regulatory constraints or market constraints, the Fund may be required to use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio. Consequently, the Fund will generally only hold a subset of the securities included in the index. Between 90% and 100% of the portfolio is made up of European and international equities from outside the UK in the listed real estate sector and listed real estate funds ( REITs ). The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.

These limited investments are made for the purpose of adjusting the Fund s exposure. The Fund may also, to a limited extent, include equity derivatives and equity index derivatives. Indeed, the Fund may deal in forward financial instruments that are traded on French and foreign regulated markets or over the counter, especially index futures, up to a maximum of 10% of the assets in order to make minor adjustments to the Fund s exposure. In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index through purchases and sales of equity index futures. The Fund manager carefully manages the Fund s cash position using short-term instruments with high quality signatures. No more than 10% of the portfolio may be invested in debt securities and money market instruments. The manager may also invest up to 10% of the Fund s assets in money market funds. The SICAV s portfolio may include units or shares of mutual funds managed by State Street or financial instruments in which the Group has a special interest. However, at the end of the financial year, this SICAV portfolio did not include any asset of this type. Changes in the securities portfolio during the period: Securities portfolio items Changes (amount) Purchases Sales a) Eligible financial securities and money market instruments admitted for trading on a regulated market pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code 19,950, ,027, b) Eligible financial securities and money market instruments admitted for trading on another regulated market, that operates regularly, is recognised and open to the public and whose registered office is located in a Member State of the European Union, or in another country that is a party to the European Economic Area agreement c) Eligible financial securities and money market instruments admitted for official listing on a securities exchange in a thirdparty country or traded on another market in a third-party country that is regulated, operates regularly, is recognised and open to the public, provided that this securities exchange or market is not contained in a list prepared by the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) or that the choice of that exchange or market is allowed by law or by the Articles of Association of the undertaking for collective investment in transferrable securities. d) The newly issued financial securities mentioned in paragraph 4 of section I of Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code; 1,818, ,529, e) Other assets: These are the assets mentioned in Part II of Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code Financial derivatives: - Strategy for the use of derivatives: The Fund may also include, on an ancillary basis, derivative products on shares and equity indices. These products are used to build, to a limited extent, a synthetic exposure to the index and adjust the Fund s exposure to 100%: it is neither over-exposed nor under-invested. Within the limits stipulated by regulations, the Fund may invest up to 10% of the assets in these financial instruments. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

174 SSgA Europe ex UK Index Real Estate Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s S I C A V] 2015 Annual Report In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index through purchases and sales of equity index futures. - Active markets: French and foreign regulated/otc markets - Type of instruments used: On a limited basis, listed derivative instruments, particularly futures contracts on equity indices or equity futures contracts. On an exceptional basis, unlisted derivative instruments such as equity index swaps, share swaps, or listed or unlisted monetary, bond or interest rate derivative assets. Risk profile: Your money will be invested primarily in financial instruments selected by the management company. These instruments will be exposed to market fluctuations and contingencies. Investors must be aware of the risks set out below. Furthermore, the following explanations do not represent a comprehensive list of all the risk factors associated with purchasing shares in the Fund, and investors are invited to make up their own minds about whether it is appropriate to invest. They are also encouraged to seek independent advice before buying any shares in the Fund. Risk related to the changes in the index: The performance of the Fund is directly related to the changes in the EPRA Europe ex UK Liquid 40 index representative of all European excluding the United Kingdom and international equities from the real estate sector, where an unfavourable change in the index could lead to capital losses, since the capital initially invested is not guaranteed. A maximum of 90% of the Fund is exposed to equity market risks. As a result, its value may fall should markets decline. The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk. Some investments and/or types of investment are subject to restrictions when they are sold, may be traded on the over-the-counter market or in limited volumes, or may not benefit from an active trading market. Non-liquid investments may be traded at a lower price with respect to comparable investments that are more liquid, and may be subject to large fluctuations in their market value. It may be hard for the Fund to assign an exact value to illiquid securities. The Fund may also be unable to sell illiquid securities quickly, or sell them at the best time, or sell them at prices close to their value as determined by the Fund. Illiquid securities may also incur registration fees and other transaction fees that are higher than those that apply to liquid securities. Currency risk: There is a currency risk since the Fund holds securities denominated in a currency or several currencies other than the euro. Fluctuations of these currencies against the euro could lower the Fund s net asset value. The Fund is exposed to currency risk via the acquisition of or exposure to securities denominated in a currency other than the Fund s base currency. Fluctuations in the values of these currencies against the Fund s base currency may have a positive or negative effect on the Fund s investments that are denominated in such currencies. Although it is not required to do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange contracts, or other currency-related transactions (including derivative transactions), in order to manage exposure to different currencies. These contracts (i) may reduce or eliminate all or part of the profit that the Fund may make as a result of favourable currency fluctuations and (ii) cannot guarantee to protect the Fund against unfavourable fluctuations. Performance risk: There is no guarantee that the Fund s management objectives will be achieved. In practice, no asset or financial instrument allows the benchmark index to be automatically tracked. The Fund thus can bear costs that are not included in the calculation of the index (transaction costs); moreover, the Fund cannot always build the desired portfolio on account of exceptional circumstances due to market conditions (suspension or interruption of listing, market failure, etc.). The Fund s investments are managed with the objective of matching the performance of the Benchmark Index. Consequently, the Fund is subject to a tracking error risk, which is the risk that the performance of the Fund s investments fails to match that of the benchmark index. Although the Fund aims to be fully invested at all times, it may from time to time have to hold a portion of its assets as cash. The capacity of the Fund to obtain a substantial correlation between the performance of the Fund and the Benchmark Index may be affected by changes in stock markets, changes in the composition of the Benchmark, cash inflows and outflows to and from the Fund, as well as applicable charges and commissions. The Fund will strive to track the performance of the benchmark, regardless of the current or predicted performance of the Benchmark or of the securities that comprise it. In addition, the Fund will generally not sell a security included in the Benchmark for as long as that security is part of the Benchmark, notwithstanding any sudden or substantial drop, or any substantial foreseeable drop, in the value of the security, even if the asset management company is able to make a different investment decision for other mutual funds holding that security. The performance of the Fund may thus be less favourable than that of a portfolio managed using an active investment strategy. The structure and the composition of the The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.
175 SSgA Europe ex UK Index Real Estate Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s S I C A V] 2015 Annual Report Benchmark will affect its performance, volatility and risk (in absolute terms and in comparison to other indices) as well as the performance, volatility and risk of the Fund. Credit risk: Investors must also be aware that the Fund will be exposed to a credit risk on the parties with which it deals. Thus, in the event of a default by these parties, the Fund will incur a capital loss. It is possible that (i) the ability of an issuer to honour its obligations substantially declines in periods in which the Fund holds securities of said issuer, (ii) said issuer defaults on its obligations, or (iii) an issuer s obligations on a security held by the Fund are limited or restructured. Any real or perceived degradation of an issuer s ability to honour its obligations will probably have a negative effect on the value of the issuer's securities and on the net asset value of the Fund. The rating assigned to an investment does not necessarily reflect the current financial situation of the issuer or an evaluation of the volatility or liquidity of an investment. Even if "Investment grade" investments presenta lower credit risk compared to lower-rated investments, they can present certain common risks, including the possibility that their issuers are not able to make on-time interest and principal payments and thereby default on payments. - Risk linked to securities lending: The Fund may participate in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company. When the Fund becomes involved in securities lending transactions, it becomes exposed to the counterparty s credit risk, because the borrower may be unable to meet its obligations under the loan, could become insolvent or could default or refuse to fulfil its obligations concerning the return of the loaned or equivalent securities. Should this happen, the Fund might be exposed to delays in the return of securities and suffer a capital loss. This could lead to a fall in the Fund s net asset value. The Fund may hedge its exposure to counterparty risk by requiring that the counterparty provide collateral in the form of securities such as shares or debt securities. In the event of a counterparty default and non-recovery of the securities corresponding to those loaned, the Fund may suffer a loss equal to the negative difference between the value of the securities received as collateral and the market value of the substitute securities. Such a negative difference can be explained by poor valuation of the assets received as collateral, unfavourable stock market fluctuations, lack of liquidity on the markets where the securities received as collateral are traded or a downgrading of the credit rating of the counterparty concerned. Participation in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company might lead to less favourable financial results compared with another securities lending program available on the market or a situation in which the Fund lends its securities outside the programme. Pursuant to the provisions of the securities lending agreement in question, the designated lending agent may retain a portion of the income from the securities lending to cover the fees and costs linked to this securities lending activity, including the delivery of the loaned securities, management of guarantees and management of the compensation linked to the securities lending; all fees will be paid at normal commercial interest rates. - The use of derivatives by the Fund may give rise to risks which differ from those associated with investments in financial securities and other more conventional investments. These risks include, among others, risks of illiquidity, valuation, volatility, market, credit, counterparty, leverage effect, management or other risks linked to commodities related to such products, as well as the risk of losing more than the initial investment. Risk of conflicts of interest: Companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company may offer services to the Fund, such as securities lending management services, custodian services, administration and registrar services, valuation or paying agent services. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and derivative transactions with companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company. The Fund may invest in mutual funds for which the Asset Management Company is the promotion agent or which are affiliated to it or are affiliated to any entity of the State Street group. In this case, the Fund will pay a proportional share of the fees of these underlying mutual funds. In addition, they can pay the fees to the Asset Management Company or its affiliated companies, which may have the effect of increasing the expenses paid by the Fund. There is no guarantee that the rates at which the Fund pays its fees and expenses to the Asset Management Company or to its affiliated companies, or the conditions under which it concludes transactions with entities of the State Street group, or under which it invests in the said mutual funds are the most favourable on the market in general or are as favourable as the rates that the entities in question propose to their clients. There will be no independent review of the fees or expenses paid to these entities nor of the services that they deliver. Due to its financial interest, the Asset Management Company may be encouraged to conclude transactions or make arrangements on behalf of the Fund with the affiliated companies under certain circumstances. The conclusion of transactions with the Management Company or its Affiliated companies or their intermediary, or the use of their services, will be made in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. The Management Company and its affiliated companies provide investment consultancy advice to other customers and may make investment decisions on their own account and on behalf of third parties, especially other funds, which may differ from the decisions that will be taken by the Asset Management Company for the Fund. In particular, the Asset Management Company may provide asset allocation advice to other customers The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.
176 SSgA Europe ex UK Index Real Estate Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s S I C A V] 2015 Annual Report comprising an investment recommendation or divestment for a fund and might not make the same recommendation to all customers invested in the same fund or in similar funds. Other conflicts of interest may arise, for example, when clients of the Asset Management Company invest in different portions of the capital structure of an issuer, meaning that one or more clients hold senior bonds of an issuer while other clients hold subordinated bonds of the same issuer; this may also be the case when clients invest in different tranches of the same structured financial instrument. Under these circumstances, decisions to trigger a case of failure or relative to the terms of an arrangement may generate conflicts of interest. During investment decisions that may raise a conflict of interest, the Asset Management Company will endeavour to act fairly and justly, in accordance with its conflict of interest policy, towards the fund concerned and towards other customers. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the asset management company and its affiliated companies may invest their own assets and on behalf of clients in various senior securities, equal or lower or hold different or opposing interests to the securities held by the Fund and (ii) the asset management company may occasionally (subject to applicable law) simultaneously seek to buy (or sell) investments for the Fund and sell (or buy) the same investments for accounts, funds or structured products for which it acts as asset manager; during the period under consideration or in the future, or for its clients or affiliates, and may carry out crossed transactions under these circumstances. Furthermore, the asset management company and its affiliates may buy or sell fund securities, if allowed by the applicable law. These other relations may also cause the applicability of the restrictions provided by the law of financial securities to the Fund s transactions on these instruments and created potential conflicts of interest for the asset management company. The asset management company, as part of its other professional activities, may acquire material non-public confidential information that may prevent it from buying or selling the securities for itself or its clients (including the Fund) or from using such information for the benefit of its clients or for its own benefit. - The Fund is exposed to the risk that geopolitical events may disrupt the securities markets, and lead to a deterioration in global economies and markets. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events have resulted and may result in the future in increased short-term market volatility, and could have damaging long-term effects on the global economy and on markets in general. These events, as well as other changes in economic and political conditions, could also be harmful to individual issuers or groups of linked issuers, to securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiments, as well as to other factors affecting the value of the investment portfolio. The continuing uncertainty surrounding the euro and European Monetary Union ( EMU ) has led to significant volatility in currencies and in financial markets in general. Any partial or total unravelling of the EMU, or any persistent uncertainty regarding its status may have a significant detrimental effect on the money and financial markets, as well as on the value of the Fund s investments. Temporary sale of securities: During the financial year, the Fund loaned securities from its portfolio. The revenues resulting from temporary sales of securities are received in full by the Fund, minus any direct or indirect operating expenses generated by such transactions. Exposure obtained through effective portfolio management techniques: As at 31 December 2015 the position in loaned securities was US$9, with collateral worth US$ 10,289,800. Identity of the counterparty (parties) to these effective portfolio management techniques: The lending agent is State Street Bank GMBH. At 31 December 2015, the active counterparties were: BARCLAYS CAPITAL SECURITIES LIMITED CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS LIMITED DEUTSCHE BANK AG MERRILL LYNCH INTERNATIONAL SOCIETE GENERALE SA UBS AG The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

Management objective: The Fund s objective is to track the performance of the EPRA Europe Liquid 40 Index ( the Index ) as much as possible. The Fund aims to achieve a tracking error of less than 1%. The Index is provided by FTSE International Limited ( FTSE ). FTSE and EPRA do not promote nor give any guarantees nor assume any liability whatsoever with respect to the SSgA Europe Index Real Estate Fund. For further information on the Index, please consult the prospectus. Benchmark index: EPRA Europe Liquide 40 with net dividends reinvested. This index represents all European and international equities in the listed real estate sector. The index is calculated by EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association). The asset management company and the custodian are available to provide investors with information concerning the benchmark index, the performance of which is shown in periodical documents and the annual report. Details on the benchmark index can be found in the prospectus. Equity risk exposure: 90% minimum. Method of calculating the comprehensive risk ratio: Commitment calculation method. Recommended minimum investment period: More than five years. Subscribers concerned: Class P shares: All investors. Class I shares: Institutional investors. Class B shares: Reserved for Institutional Investors who have entered into a management agreement, or an agreement that is viewed as equivalent, with the management company or one of its affiliates. Appropriation of earnings: Accumulation. Tax mode: Accumulation fund. Environmental, social and governance quality criteria: Pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the Fund s investment process is independent from the criteria for compliance with social, environmental and governance quality objectives. Investment strategy: The fund manager uses the investment method or methods he considers best suited to attaining the investment objectives. The management strategy aims to use the pure physical tracking method that consists of purchasing all the securities that make up the benchmark index in proportion to their respective weightings. In specifically defined circumstances, the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the index. As an index-based mutual fund, the Fund may make use of the exemptions specified by Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code, relating to the investment limits in financial instruments of a single issuer. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in shares or debt securities of the same issuer, and this limit can be raised to 35% for a single issuer when it is deemed justified by exceptional market conditions, in particular on regulated markets in which certain securities or money market instruments are predominant. Depending on regulatory constraints or market constraints, the Fund may be required to use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio. Consequently, the Fund will generally only hold a subset of the securities included in the index. 90% to 100% of the portfolio is made up of European and international equities in the listed real estate sector and listed real estate funds ( REITS ). The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

These limited investments are made for the purpose of adjusting the Fund s exposure. The Fund may also, to a limited extent, include equity derivatives and equity index derivatives. Indeed, the Fund may deal in forward financial instruments that are traded on French and foreign regulated markets or over the counter, especially index futures, up to a maximum of 10% of the assets in order to make minor adjustments to the Fund s exposure. In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index through purchases and sales of equity index futures. The Fund manager carefully manages the Fund s cash position using short-term instruments with high quality signatures. No more than 10% of the portfolio may be invested in debt securities and money market instruments. The manager may also invest up to 10% of the Fund s assets in money market funds. The SICAV s portfolio may include units or shares of mutual funds managed by State Street or financial instruments in which the Group has a special interest. However, at the end of the financial year, this SICAV portfolio did not include any asset of this type.

These products are used to build, to a limited extent, a synthetic exposure to the index and adjust the Fund s exposure to 100%: it is neither over-exposed nor under-invested. Within the limits stipulated by regulations, the Fund may invest up to 10% of the assets in these financial instruments. In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index through purchases and sales of equity index futures.

On an exceptional basis, unlisted derivative instruments such as equity index swaps, share swaps, or listed or unlisted monetary, bond or interest rate derivative assets. Risk profile: Your money will be invested primarily in financial instruments selected by the management company. These instruments will be exposed to market fluctuations and contingencies. Investors must be aware of the risks set out below. Furthermore, the following explanations do not represent a comprehensive list of all the risk factors associated with purchasing shares in the Fund, and investors are invited to make up their own minds about whether it is appropriate to invest. They are also encouraged to seek independent advice before buying any shares in the Fund. Risk related to the changes in the index: The performance of the Fund is directly related to the changes in the EPRA Europe Liquid 40 Index representative of all European and international equities from the real estate sector, where an unfavourable change in the index could lead to capital losses, since the capital initially invested is not guaranteed. A maximum of 90% of the Fund is exposed to equity market risks. As a result, its value may fall should markets decline. The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk. Some investments and/or types of investment are subject to restrictions when they are sold, may be traded on the over-the-counter market or in limited volumes, or may not benefit from an active trading market. Non-liquid investments may be traded at a lower price with respect to comparable investments that are more liquid, and may be subject to large fluctuations in their market value. It may be hard for the Fund to assign an exact value to illiquid securities. The Fund may also be unable to sell illiquid securities quickly, or sell them at the best time, or sell them at prices close to their value as determined by the Fund. Illiquid securities may also incur registration fees and other transaction fees that are higher than those that apply to liquid securities. Currency risk: There is a currency risk since the Fund holds securities denominated in a currency or several currencies other than the euro. Fluctuations of these currencies against the euro could lower the Fund s net asset value. The Fund is exposed to currency risk via the acquisition of or exposure to securities denominated in a currency other than the Fund s base currency. Fluctuations in the values of these currencies against the Fund s base currency may have a positive or negative effect on the Fund s investments that are denominated in such currencies. Although it is not required to do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange contracts, or other currency-related transactions (including derivative transactions), in order to manage exposure to different currencies. These contracts (i) may reduce or eliminate all or part of the profit that the Fund may make as a result of favourable currency fluctuations and (ii) cannot guarantee to protect the Fund against unfavourable fluctuations. Performance risk: There is no guarantee that the Fund s management objectives will be achieved. In practice, no asset or financial instrument allows the benchmark index to be automatically tracked. The Fund thus can bear costs that are not included in the calculation of the index (transaction costs); moreover, the Fund cannot always build the desired portfolio on account of exceptional circumstances due to market conditions (suspension or interruption of listing, market failure, etc.). The Fund s investments are managed with the objective of matching the performance of the Benchmark Index. Consequently, the Fund is subject to a tracking error risk, which is the risk that the performance of the Fund s investments fails to match that of the benchmark index. Although the Fund aims to be fully invested at all times, it may from time to time have to hold a portion of its assets as cash. The capacity of the Fund to obtain a substantial correlation between the performance of the Fund and the Benchmark Index may be affected by changes in stock markets, changes in the composition of the Benchmark, cash inflows and outflows to and from the Fund, as well as applicable charges and commissions. The Fund will strive to track the performance of the benchmark, regardless of the current or predicted performance of the Benchmark or of the securities that comprise it. In addition, the Fund will generally not sell a security included in the Benchmark for as long as that security is part of the Benchmark, notwithstanding any sudden or substantial drop, or any substantial foreseeable drop, in the value of the security, even if the asset management company is able to make a different investment decision for other mutual funds holding that security. The performance of the Fund may thus be less favourable than that of a portfolio managed using an active investment strategy. The structure and the composition of the The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.
201 SSgA Europe Index Real Estate Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s S I C A V] 2015 Annual Report Benchmark will affect its performance, volatility and risk (in absolute terms and in comparison to other indices) as well as the performance, volatility and risk of the Fund. Credit risk: Investors must also be aware that the Fund will be exposed to a credit risk on the parties with which it deals. Thus, in the event of a default by these parties, the Fund will incur a capital loss. It is possible that (i) the ability of an issuer to honour its obligations substantially declines in periods in which the Fund holds securities of said issuer, (ii) said issuer defaults on its obligations, or (iii) an issuer s obligations on a security held by the Fund are limited or restructured. Any real or perceived degradation of an issuer s ability to honour its obligations will probably have a negative effect on the value of the issuer's securities and on the net asset value of the Fund. The rating assigned to an investment does not necessarily reflect the current financial situation of the issuer or an evaluation of the volatility or liquidity of an investment. Even if "Investment grade" investments presenta lower credit risk compared to lower-rated investments, they can present certain common risks, including the possibility that their issuers are not able to make on-time interest and principal payments and thereby default on payments. - Risk linked to securities lending: The Fund may participate in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company. When the Fund becomes involved in securities lending transactions, it becomes exposed to the counterparty s credit risk, because the borrower may be unable to meet its obligations under the loan, could become insolvent or could default or refuse to fulfil its obligations concerning the return of the loaned or equivalent securities. Should this happen, the Fund might be exposed to delays in the return of securities and suffer a capital loss. This could lead to a fall in the Fund s net asset value. The Fund may hedge its exposure to counterparty risk by requiring that the counterparty provide collateral in the form of securities such as shares or debt securities. In the event of a counterparty default and non-recovery of the securities corresponding to those loaned, the Fund may suffer a loss equal to the negative difference between the value of the securities received as collateral and the market value of the substitute securities. Such a negative difference can be explained by poor valuation of the assets received as collateral, unfavourable stock market fluctuations, lack of liquidity on the markets where the securities received as collateral are traded or a downgrading of the credit rating of the counterparty concerned. Participation in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company might lead to less favourable financial results compared with another securities lending program available on the market or a situation in which the Fund lends its securities outside the programme. Pursuant to the provisions of the securities lending agreement in question, the designated lending agent may retain a portion of the income from the securities lending to cover the fees and costs linked to this securities lending activity, including the delivery of the loaned securities, management of guarantees and management of the compensation linked to the securities lending; all fees will be paid at normal commercial interest rates. - The use of derivatives by the Fund may give rise to risks which differ from those associated with investments in financial securities and other more conventional investments. These risks include, among others, risks of illiquidity, valuation, volatility, market, credit, counterparty, leverage effect, management or other risks linked to commodities related to such products, as well as the risk of losing more than the initial investment. Risk of conflicts of interest: Companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company may offer services to the Fund, such as securities lending management services, custodian services, administration and registrar services, valuation or paying agent services. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and derivative transactions with companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company. The Fund may invest in mutual funds for which the Asset Management Company is the promotion agent or which are affiliated to it or are affiliated to any entity of the State Street group. In this case, the Fund will pay a proportional share of the fees of these underlying mutual funds. In addition, they can pay the fees to the Asset Management Company or its affiliated companies, which may have the effect of increasing the expenses paid by the Fund. There is no guarantee that the rates at which the Fund pays its fees and expenses to the Asset Management Company or to its affiliated companies, or the conditions under which it concludes transactions with entities of the State Street group, or under which it invests in the said mutual funds are the most favourable on the market in general or are as favourable as the rates that the entities in question propose to their clients. There will be no independent review of the fees or expenses paid to these entities nor of the services that they deliver. Due to its financial interest, the Asset Management Company may be encouraged to conclude transactions or make arrangements on behalf of the Fund with the affiliated companies under certain circumstances. The conclusion of transactions with the Management Company or its Affiliated companies or their intermediary, or the use of their services, will be made in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. The Management Company and its affiliated companies provide investment consultancy advice to other customers and may make investment decisions on their own account and on behalf of third parties, especially other funds, which may differ from the decisions that will be taken by the Asset Management Company for the Fund. In particular, the Asset Management Company may provide asset allocation advice to other customers The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.

Other conflicts of interest may arise, for example, when clients of the Asset Management Company invest in different portions of the capital structure of an issuer, meaning that one or more clients hold senior bonds of an issuer while other clients hold subordinated bonds of the same issuer; this may also be the case when clients invest in different tranches of the same structured financial instrument. Under these circumstances, decisions to trigger a case of failure or relative to the terms of an arrangement may generate conflicts of interest. During investment decisions that may raise a conflict of interest, the Asset Management Company will endeavour to act fairly and justly, in accordance with its conflict of interest policy, towards the fund concerned and towards other customers. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the asset management company and its affiliated companies may invest their own assets and on behalf of clients in various senior securities, equal or lower or hold different or opposing interests to the securities held by the Fund and (ii) the asset management company may occasionally (subject to applicable law) simultaneously seek to buy (or sell) investments for the Fund and sell (or buy) the same investments for accounts, funds or structured products for which it acts as asset manager; during the period under consideration or in the future, or for its clients or affiliates, and may carry out crossed transactions under these circumstances. Furthermore, the asset management company and its affiliates may buy or sell fund securities, if allowed by the applicable law. These other relations may also cause the applicability of the restrictions provided by the law of financial securities to the Fund s transactions on these instruments and created potential conflicts of interest for the asset management company. The asset management company, as part of its other professional activities, may acquire material non-public confidential information that may prevent it from buying or selling the securities for itself or its clients (including the Fund) or from using such information for the benefit of its clients or for its own benefit. - The Fund is exposed to the risk that geopolitical events may disrupt the securities markets, and lead to a deterioration in global economies and markets. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events have resulted and may result in the future in increased short-term market volatility, and could have damaging long-term effects on the global economy and on markets in general. These events, as well as other changes in economic and political conditions, could also be harmful to individual issuers or groups of linked issuers, to securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiments, as well as to other factors affecting the value of the investment portfolio. The continuing uncertainty surrounding the euro and European Monetary Union ( EMU ) has led to significant volatility in currencies and in financial markets in general. Any partial or total unravelling of the EMU, or any persistent uncertainty regarding its status may have a significant detrimental effect on the money and financial markets, as well as on the value of the Fund s investments. Temporary sale of securities: During the financial year, the Fund loaned securities from its portfolio. The revenues resulting from temporary sales of securities are received in full by the Fund, minus any direct or indirect operating expenses generated by such transactions. Exposure obtained through effective portfolio management techniques: As at 31 December 2015 the position in loaned securities was US$3, with collateral worth US$ 3,774,211. Identity of the counterparty (parties) to these effective portfolio management techniques: The lending agent is State Street Bank GMBH.

[ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report ISIN Code: P shares: FR I Shares: FR I EUR Shares: FR I NL EUR shares: FR B shares: FR Classification: International Equities. Management objective: SSgA Financials Index Equity Fund is an index-based mutual fund that tracks an index. The Fund s objective is to track the performance of the MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International) Financials Index, whether up or down. The aim of the management strategy is to ensure that the tracking error between the change in net asset value and that of the benchmark (measured by the tracking error) is as small as possible and lower than 1%. Benchmark index: MSCI Financials with net dividends reinvested. This index represents all international equities in the financial sector. The asset management company and the custodian are available to provide investors with information concerning the benchmark index, the performance of which is shown in periodical documents and the annual report. Details on the benchmark index can be found in the prospectus. Equity risk exposure: 90% minimum. Method of calculating the comprehensive risk ratio: Commitment calculation method. Recommended minimum investment period: More than five years. Subscribers concerned: Class P shares: All investors. Class I shares: Institutional investors. Class B shares: Reserved for Institutional Investors who have entered into a management agreement, or an agreement that is viewed as equivalent, with the management company or one of its affiliates. Class I NL EUR shares: Reserved for the Netherlands institutional investor sales network. Appropriation of earnings: Accumulation. Tax mode: Accumulation fund. Environmental, social and governance quality criteria: Pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the Fund s investment process is independent from the criteria for compliance with social, environmental and governance quality objectives. Investment strategy: The fund manager uses the investment method or methods he considers best suited to attaining the investment objectives. The management strategy aims to use the pure physical tracking method that consists of purchasing all the securities that make up the benchmark index in proportion to their respective weightings. The structure of the portfolio is therefore very close to that of the benchmark. In specifically defined circumstances, the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the index. As an index-based mutual fund, the Fund may make use of the exemptions specified by Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code, relating to the investment limits in financial instruments of a single issuer. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in shares or debt securities of the same issuer, and this limit can be raised to 35% for a single issuer when it is deemed justified by exceptional market conditions, in particular on regulated markets in which certain securities or money market instruments are predominant. Depending on regulatory constraints or market constraints, the Fund may be required to use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio. Consequently, the Fund will generally only hold a subset of the securities included in the index. The portfolio is made up of at least 90% international equities from the financial sector. The portfolio may contain up to 10% of negotiable debt securities and money market instruments. The Fund invests up to 10% of its assets in shares or units of mutual funds. It may also, to a limited extent, include equity derivatives and equity index derivatives. Indeed, within the regulatory limits, the Fund may deal in forward financial instruments that are traded on French and foreign regulated markets or on over-the-counter markets, especially index futures, up to a maximum of 10% of the The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. The SICAV s portfolio may include units or shares of mutual funds managed by State Street or financial instruments in which the Group has a special interest. At the end of the financial year, the portfolio of this SICAV, included herewith, included assets of this type.

Type of instruments used: - On a limited basis, listed derivative instruments, particularly futures contracts on equity indices or equity futures contracts. - On an exceptional basis, unlisted derivative instruments such as equity index swaps, share swaps, or listed or unlisted monetary, bond or interest rate derivative assets. In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. Risk profile: Your money will be invested primarily in financial instruments selected by the management company. These instruments will be exposed to market fluctuations and contingencies. Investors must be aware of the risks set The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

Furthermore, the following explanations do not represent a comprehensive list of all the risk factors associated with purchasing shares in the Fund, and investors are invited to make up their own minds about whether it is appropriate to invest. They are also encouraged to seek independent advice before buying any shares in the Fund. The Fund s risk profile is fundamentally identical to, or as close as possible to, that of the tracked index. The Fund is primarily exposed to equity market risks. As a result, its value can increase or decrease according to changes in the markets, and the investor may incur capital losses. Even if the general economic conditions do not change, the Fund's net asset value could decline if the industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests do not perform well or are negatively affected. In addition, there is the likelihood of the following specific risks: - There is no guarantee that the Fund s management objectives will be achieved. In practice, no asset or financial instrument allows the benchmark index to be automatically tracked. The changes made to the Fund s assets and the changing weightings of the benchmark index may bring about various transaction or friction costs. Furthermore, the total return generated by investments in the securities comprising the index shall be reduced because of certain costs and expenses that are not included in the calculation of the index. In addition, the Fund may not be able to fully replicate the performance of the index, in particular due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities comprising the index or exceptional circumstances that may distort the weightings of the index. Furthermore, in the event of a suspension or temporary interruption of the pricing of the securities comprising the index or in the event of market disruption, it may prove impossible to rebalance the portfolio of securities comprising the Fund for an unspecified period. The value of the Fund s shares and their income may increase or decrease to reflect changes in the value of the securities in which the Fund invests. - The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk. Some investments and/or types of investment are subject to restrictions when they are sold, may be traded on the over-the-counter market or in limited volumes, or may not benefit from an active trading market. Non-liquid investments may be traded at a lower price with respect to comparable investments that are more liquid, and may be subject to large fluctuations in their market value. It may be hard for the Fund to assign an exact value to illiquid securities. The Fund may also be unable to sell illiquid securities quickly, or sell them at the best time, or sell them at prices close to their value as determined by the Fund. Illiquid securities may also incur registration fees and other transaction fees that are higher than those that apply to liquid securities. - The Fund s investments are managed with the objective of matching the performance of the Benchmark Index. Consequently, the Fund is subject to a tracking error risk, which is the risk that the performance of the Fund s investments fails to match that of the benchmark index. Although the Fund aims to be fully invested at all times, it may from time to time have to hold a portion of its assets as cash. The capacity of the Fund to obtain a substantial correlation between the performance of the Fund and the Benchmark Index may be affected by changes in stock markets, changes in the composition of the Benchmark, cash inflows and outflows to and from the Fund, as well as applicable charges and commissions. The Fund will strive to track the performance of the Benchmark, regardless of the current or predicted performance of the Benchmark or of the securities that comprise it. In addition, the Fund will generally not sell a security included in the Benchmark for as long as that security is part of the Benchmark, notwithstanding any sudden or substantial drop, or any substantial foreseeable drop, in the value of the security, even if the asset management company is able to make a different investment decision for other mutual funds holding that security. The performance of the Fund may thus be less favourable than that of a portfolio managed using an active investment strategy. The structure and the composition of the Benchmark will affect its performance, volatility and risk (in absolute terms and in comparison to other indices) as well as the performance, volatility and risk of the Fund. - Investors must also be aware that the Fund will be exposed to a credit risk on the parties with which it deals and may, in addition, incur the risk of payment default. It is possible that (i) the ability of an issuer to honour its obligations substantially declines in periods in which the Fund holds securities of said issuer, (ii) said issuer defaults on its obligations, or (iii) an issuer s obligations on a security held by the Fund are limited or restructured. Any real or perceived degradation of an issuer s ability to honour its obligations will probably have a negative effect on the value of the issuer's securities and on the net asset value of the Fund. The rating assigned to an investment does not necessarily reflect the current financial situation of the issuer or an evaluation of the volatility or liquidity of an investment. Even if "Investment grade" investments presenta lower credit risk compared to lower-rated investments, they can present The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

231 SSgA Financials Index Equity Fund. [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report certain common risks, including the possibility that their issuers are not able to make on-time interest and principal payments and thereby default on payments. - Risk linked to securities lending: The Fund may participate in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company. When the Fund becomes involved in securities lending transactions, it becomes exposed to the counterparty s credit risk, because the borrower may be unable to meet its obligations under the loan, could become insolvent or could default or refuse to fulfil its obligations concerning the return of the loaned or equivalent securities. Should this happen, the Fund might be exposed to delays in the return of securities and suffer a capital loss. This could lead to a fall in the Fund s net asset value. The Fund may hedge its exposure to counterparty risk by requiring that the counterparty provide collateral in the form of securities such as shares or debt securities. In the event of a counterparty default and non-recovery of the securities corresponding to those loaned, the Fund may suffer a loss equal to the negative difference between the value of the securities received as collateral and the market value of the substitute securities. Such a negative difference can be explained by poor valuation of the assets received as collateral, unfavourable stock market fluctuations, lack of liquidity on the markets where the securities received as collateral are traded or a downgrading of the credit rating of the counterparty concerned. Participation in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company might lead to less favourable financial results compared with another securities lending program available on the market or a situation in which the Fund lends its securities outside the programme. Pursuant to the provisions of the securities lending agreement in question, the designated lending agent may retain a portion of the income from the securities lending to cover the fees and costs linked to this securities lending activity, including the delivery of the loaned securities, management of guarantees and management of the compensation linked to the securities lending; all fees will be paid at normal commercial interest rates. - French and eurozone investors will be exposed to a currency exchange risk The Fund is exposed to currency risk via the acquisition of or exposure to securities denominated in a currency other than the Fund s base currency. Fluctuations in the values of these currencies against the Fund s base currency may have a positive or negative effect on the Fund s investments that are denominated in such currencies. Although it is not required to do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange contracts, or other currency-related transactions (including derivative transactions), in order to manage exposure to different currencies. These contracts (i) may reduce or eliminate all or part of the profit that the Fund may make as a result of favourable currency fluctuations and (ii) cannot guarantee to protect the Fund against unfavourable fluctuations. - The use of derivatives by the Fund may give rise to risks which differ from those associated with investments in financial securities and other more conventional investments. These risks include, among others, risks of illiquidity, valuation, volatility, market, credit, counterparty, leverage effect, management or other risks linked to commodities related to such products, as well as the risk of losing more than the initial investment. Risk of conflicts of interest: Companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company may offer services to the Fund, such as securities lending management services, custodian services, administration and registrar services, valuation or paying agent services. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and derivative transactions with companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company. The Fund may invest in mutual funds for which the Asset Management Company is the promotion agent or which are affiliated to it or are affiliated to any entity of the State Street group. In this case, the Fund will pay a proportional share of the fees of these underlying mutual funds. In addition, they can pay the fees to the Asset Management Company or its affiliated companies, which may have the effect of increasing the expenses paid by the Fund. There is no guarantee that the rates at which the Fund pays its fees and expenses to the Asset Management Company or to its affiliated companies, or the conditions under which it concludes transactions with entities of the State Street group, or under which it invests in the said mutual funds are the most favourable on the market in general or are as favourable as the rates that the entities in question propose to their clients. There will be no independent review of the fees or expenses paid to these entities nor of the services that they deliver. Due to its financial interest, the Asset Management Company may be encouraged to conclude transactions or make arrangements on behalf of the Fund with the affiliated companies under certain circumstances. The conclusion of transactions with the Management Company or its Affiliated companies or their intermediary, or the use of their services, will be made in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. The Management Company and its affiliated companies provide investment consultancy advice to other customers and may make investment decisions on their own account and on behalf of third parties, especially other funds, which may differ from the decisions that will be taken by the Asset Management Company for the Fund. In particular, the Asset Management Company may provide asset allocation advice to other customers comprising an investment recommendation or divestment for a fund and might not make the same recommendation to all customers invested in the same fund or in similar funds. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

[ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report Other conflicts of interest may arise, for example, when clients of the Asset Management Company invest in different portions of the capital structure of an issuer, meaning that one or more clients hold senior bonds of an issuer while other clients hold subordinated bonds of the same issuer; this may also be the case when clients invest in different tranches of the same structured financial instrument. Under these circumstances, decisions to trigger a case of failure or relative to the terms of an arrangement may generate conflicts of interest. During investment decisions that may raise a conflict of interest, the Asset Management Company will endeavour to act fairly and justly, in accordance with its conflict of interest policy, towards the fund concerned and towards other customers. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the asset management company and its affiliated companies may invest their own assets and on behalf of clients in various senior securities, equal or lower or hold different or opposing interests to the securities held by the Fund and (ii) the asset management company may occasionally (subject to applicable law) simultaneously seek to buy (or sell) investments for the Fund and sell (or buy) the same investments for accounts, funds or structured products for which it acts as asset manager; during the period under consideration or in the future, or for its clients or affiliates, and may carry out crossed transactions under these circumstances. Furthermore, the asset management company and its affiliates may buy or sell fund securities, if allowed by the applicable law. These other relations may also cause the applicability of the restrictions provided by the law of financial securities to the Fund s transactions on these instruments and created potential conflicts of interest for the asset management company. The asset management company, as part of its other professional activities, may acquire material non-public confidential information that may prevent it from buying or selling the securities for itself or its clients (including the Fund) or from using such information for the benefit of its clients or for its own benefit. - The Fund is exposed to the risk that geopolitical events may disrupt the securities markets, and lead to a deterioration in global economies and markets.

[ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report ISIN Code: P shares: FR I shares: FR I EUR Shares: FR I NL EUR shares: FR B shares: FR Classification : International Equities. Management objective: The Fund s objective is to track the performance of the MSCI Health Care Index ( the Index ) as much as possible. The Fund aims to achieve a tracking error of less than 1%. It is possible that the MSCI data cannot be replicated or used for another purpose. MSCI gives no guarantee with respect to the present report, which it has neither prepared nor approved, and accepts no liability in this regard. Benchmark index: MSCI Health Care with net dividends reinvested. This index represents all international equities in the health care sector. The asset management company and the custodian are available to provide investors with information concerning the benchmark index, the performance of which is shown in periodical documents and the annual report. Details on the benchmark index can be found in the prospectus. Equity risk exposure: 90% minimum. Method of calculating the comprehensive risk ratio: Commitment calculation method. Recommended minimum investment period: More than five years. Subscribers concerned: Class P shares: All investors. Class I shares: Institutional investors. Class B shares: Reserved for Institutional Investors who have entered into a management agreement, or an agreement that is viewed as equivalent, with the management company or one of its affiliates. Class I NL EUR shares: Reserved for the Netherlands institutional investor sales network. Appropriation of earnings: Accumulation. Tax mode: Accumulation fund. Environmental, social and governance quality criteria: Pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the Fund s investment process is independent from the criteria for compliance with social, environmental and governance quality objectives. Investment strategy: The fund manager uses the investment method or methods he considers best suited to attaining the investment objectives. The management strategy aims to use the pure physical tracking method that consists of purchasing all the securities that make up the benchmark index in proportion to their respective weightings. The structure of the portfolio is therefore very close to that of the benchmark. In specifically defined circumstances, the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the index. As an index-based mutual fund, the Fund may make use of the exemptions specified by Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code, relating to the investment limits in financial instruments of a single issuer. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in shares or debt securities of the same issuer, and this limit can be raised to 35% for a single issuer when it is deemed justified by exceptional market conditions, in particular on regulated markets in which certain securities or money market instruments are predominant. Depending on regulatory constraints or market constraints, the Fund may be required to use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio. Consequently, the Fund will generally only hold a subset of the securities included in the index. The portfolio is made up of at least 90% international equities from the health care sector. The portfolio may contain up to 10% of negotiable debt securities and money market instruments. The Fund invests up to 10% of its assets in shares or units of mutual funds. It may also, to a limited extent, include equity derivatives and equity index derivatives. Indeed, within the regulatory limits, the Fund may deal in forward financial instruments that are traded on French and foreign The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.

In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. The SICAV s portfolio may include units or shares of mutual funds managed by State Street or financial instruments in which the Group has a special interest. However, at the end of the financial year, this SICAV did not include any asset of this type.

Type of instruments used: - On a limited basis, listed derivative instruments, particularly futures contracts on equity indices or equity futures contracts. - On an exceptional basis, unlisted derivative instruments such as equity index swaps, share swaps, or listed or unlisted monetary, bond or interest rate derivative assets. In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. Risk profile: Your money will be invested primarily in financial instruments selected by the management company. These instruments will be exposed to market fluctuations and contingencies.

269 SSgA Health Care Index Equity Fund. [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report out below. Furthermore, the following explanations do not represent a comprehensive list of all the risk factors associated with purchasing shares in the Fund, and investors are invited to make up their own minds about whether it is appropriate to invest. They are also encouraged to seek independent advice before buying any shares in the Fund. The Fund s risk profile is fundamentally identical to, or as close as possible to, that of the tracked index. The Fund is primarily exposed to equity market risks. As a result, its value can increase or decrease according to changes in the markets, and the investor may incur capital losses. Even if the general economic conditions do not change, the Fund's net asset value could decline if the industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests do not perform well or are negatively affected. In addition, there is the likelihood of the following specific risks: - There is no guarantee that the Fund s management objectives will be achieved. In practice, no asset or financial instrument allows the benchmark index to be automatically tracked. The changes made to the Fund s assets and the changing weightings of the benchmark index may bring about various transaction or friction costs. Furthermore, the total return generated by investments in the securities comprising the index shall be reduced because of certain costs and expenses that are not included in the calculation of the index. In addition, the Fund may not be able to fully replicate the performance of the index, in particular due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities comprising the index or exceptional circumstances that may distort the weightings of the index. Furthermore, in the event of a suspension or temporary interruption of the listing of the securities comprising the index or in the event of market disruption, it may prove impossible to rebalance the portfolio of securities comprising the Fund for an unspecified period. The value of the Fund s shares and their income may increase or decrease to reflect changes in the value of the securities in which the Fund invests. - The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk. Some investments and/or types of investment are subject to restrictions when they are sold, may be traded on the over-the-counter market or in limited volumes, or may not benefit from an active trading market. Non-liquid investments may be traded at a lower price with respect to comparable investments that are more liquid, and may be subject to large fluctuations in their market value. It may be hard for the Fund to assign an exact value to illiquid securities. The Fund may also be unable to sell illiquid securities quickly, or sell them at the best time, or sell them at prices close to their value as determined by the Fund. Illiquid securities may also incur registration fees and other transaction fees that are higher than those that apply to liquid securities. - The Fund s investments are managed with the objective of matching the performance of the Benchmark Index. Consequently, the Fund is subject to a tracking error risk, which is the risk that the performance of the Fund s investments fails to match that of the benchmark index. Although the Fund aims to be fully invested at all times, it may from time to time have to hold a portion of its assets as cash. The capacity of the Fund to obtain a substantial correlation between the performance of the Fund and the Benchmark Index may be affected by changes in stock markets, changes in the composition of the Benchmark, cash inflows and outflows to and from the Fund, as well as applicable charges and commissions. The Fund will strive to track the performance of the Benchmark, regardless of the current or predicted performance of the Benchmark or of the securities that comprise it. In addition, the Fund will generally not sell a security included in the Benchmark for as long as that security is part of the Benchmark, notwithstanding any sudden or substantial drop, or any substantial foreseeable drop, in the value of the security, even if the asset management company is able to make a different investment decision for other mutual funds holding that security. The performance of the Fund may thus be less favourable than that of a portfolio managed using an active investment strategy. The structure and the composition of the Benchmark will affect its performance, volatility and risk (in absolute terms and in comparison to other indices) as well as the performance, volatility and risk of the Fund. - Investors must also be aware that the Fund will be exposed to a credit risk on the parties with which it deals and may, in addition, incur the risk of payment default. It is possible that (i) the ability of an issuer to honour its obligations substantially declines in periods in which the Fund holds securities of said issuer, (ii) said issuer defaults on its obligations, or (iii) an issuer s obligations on a security held by the Fund are limited or restructured. Any real or perceived degradation of an issuer s ability to honour its obligations will probably have a negative effect on the value of the issuer's securities and on the net asset value of the Fund. The rating assigned to an investment does not necessarily reflect the current financial situation of the issuer or an evaluation of the volatility or liquidity of an investment. Even if "Investment grade" investments presenta lower credit risk compared to lower-rated investments, they can present The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.

[ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report certain common risks, including the possibility that their issuers are not able to make on-time interest and principal payments and thereby default on payments. - Risk linked to securities lending: The Fund may participate in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company. When the Fund becomes involved in securities lending transactions, it becomes exposed to the counterparty s credit risk, because the borrower may be unable to meet its obligations under the loan, could become insolvent or could default or refuse to fulfil its obligations concerning the return of the loaned or equivalent securities. Should this happen, the Fund might be exposed to delays in the return of securities and suffer a capital loss. This could lead to a fall in the Fund s net asset value. The Fund may hedge its exposure to counterparty risk by requiring that the counterparty provide collateral in the form of securities such as shares or debt securities. In the event of a counterparty default and non-recovery of the securities corresponding to those loaned, the Fund may suffer a loss equal to the negative difference between the value of the securities received as collateral and the market value of the substitute securities. Such a negative difference can be explained by poor valuation of the assets received as collateral, unfavourable stock market fluctuations, lack of liquidity on the markets where the securities received as collateral are traded or a downgrading of the credit rating of the counterparty concerned. Participation in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company might lead to less favourable financial results compared with another securities lending program available on the market or a situation in which the Fund lends its securities outside the programme. Pursuant to the provisions of the securities lending agreement in question, the designated lending agent may retain a portion of the income from the securities lending to cover the fees and costs linked to this securities lending activity, including the delivery of the loaned securities, management of guarantees and management of the compensation linked to the securities lending; all fees will be paid at normal commercial interest rates. - French and eurozone investors will be exposed to a currency exchange risk The Fund is exposed to currency risk via the acquisition of or exposure to securities denominated in a currency other than the Fund s base currency. Fluctuations in the values of these currencies against the Fund s base currency may have a positive or negative effect on the Fund s investments that are denominated in such currencies. Although it is not required to do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange contracts, or other currency-related transactions (including derivative transactions), in order to manage exposure to different currencies. These contracts (i) may reduce or eliminate all or part of the profit that the Fund may make as a result of favourable currency fluctuations and (ii) cannot guarantee to protect the Fund against unfavourable fluctuations. - The use of derivatives by the Fund may give rise to risks which differ from those associated with investments in financial securities and other more conventional investments. These risks include, among others, risks of illiquidity, valuation, volatility, market, credit, counterparty, leverage effect, management or other risks linked to commodities related to such products, as well as the risk of losing more than the initial investment. Risk of conflicts of interest: Companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company may offer services to the Fund, such as securities lending management services, custodian services, administration and registrar services, valuation or paying agent services. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and derivative transactions with companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company. The Fund may invest in mutual funds for which the Asset Management Company is the promotion agent or which are affiliated to it or are affiliated to any entity of the State Street group. In this case, the Fund will pay a proportional share of the fees of these underlying mutual funds. In addition, they can pay the fees to the Asset Management Company or its affiliated companies, which may have the effect of increasing the expenses paid by the Fund. There is no guarantee that the rates at which the Fund pays its fees and expenses to the Asset Management Company or to its affiliated companies, or the conditions under which it concludes transactions with entities of the State Street group, or under which it invests in the said mutual funds are the most favourable on the market in general or are as favourable as the rates that the entities in question propose to their clients. There will be no independent review of the fees or expenses paid to these entities nor of the services that they deliver. Due to its financial interest, the Asset Management Company may be encouraged to conclude transactions or make arrangements on behalf of the Fund with the affiliated companies under certain circumstances. The conclusion of transactions with the Management Company or its Affiliated companies or their intermediary, or the use of their services, will be made in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. The Management Company and its affiliated companies provide investment consultancy advice to other customers and may make investment decisions on their own account and on behalf of third parties, especially other funds, which may differ from the decisions that will be taken by the Asset Management Company for the Fund. In particular, the Asset Management Company may provide asset allocation advice to other customers comprising an investment recommendation or divestment for a fund and might not make the same recommendation to all customers invested in the same fund or in similar funds. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

[ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report Other conflicts of interest may arise, for example, when clients of the Asset Management Company invest in different portions of the capital structure of an issuer, meaning that one or more clients hold senior bonds of an issuer while other clients hold subordinated bonds of the same issuer; this may also be the case when clients invest in different tranches of the same structured financial instrument. Under these circumstances, decisions to trigger a case of failure or relative to the terms of an arrangement may generate conflicts of interest. During investment decisions that may raise a conflict of interest, the Asset Management Company will endeavour to act fairly and justly, in accordance with its conflict of interest policy, towards the fund concerned and towards other customers. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the asset management company and its affiliated companies may invest their own assets and on behalf of clients in various senior securities, equal or lower or hold different or opposing interests to the securities held by the Fund and (ii) the asset management company may occasionally (subject to applicable law) simultaneously seek to buy (or sell) investments for the Fund and sell (or buy) the same investments for accounts, funds or structured products for which it acts as asset manager; during the period under consideration or in the future, or for its clients or affiliates, and may carry out crossed transactions under these circumstances. Furthermore, the asset management company and its affiliates may buy or sell fund securities, if allowed by the applicable law. These other relations may also cause the applicability of the restrictions provided by the law of financial securities to the Fund s transactions on these instruments and created potential conflicts of interest for the asset management company. The asset management company, as part of its other professional activities, may acquire material non-public confidential information that may prevent it from buying or selling the securities for itself or its clients (including the Fund) or from using such information for the benefit of its clients or for its own benefit. - The Fund is exposed to the risk that geopolitical events may disrupt the securities markets, and lead to a deterioration in global economies and markets. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events have resulted and may result in the future in increased short-term market volatility, and could have damaging long-term effects on the global economy and on markets in general. These events, as well as other changes in economic and political conditions, could also be harmful to individual issuers or groups of linked issuers, to securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiments, as well as to other factors affecting the value of the investment portfolio. The continuing uncertainty surrounding the euro and European Monetary Union ( EMU ) has led to significant volatility in currencies and in financial markets in general. Any partial or total unravelling of the EMU, or any persistent uncertainty regarding its status may have a significant detrimental effect on the money and financial markets, as well as on the value of the Fund s investments. Temporary sale of securities: During the financial year, the Fund loaned securities from its portfolio. The revenues resulting from temporary sales of securities are received in full by the Fund, minus any direct or indirect operating expenses generated by such transactions. Exposure obtained through effective portfolio management techniques: As at 31 December 2015 the position in loaned securities was US$549,371 with collateral worth US$ Identity of the counterparty (parties) to these effective portfolio management techniques: The lending agent is State Street Bank GMBH. At 31 December 2015, the active counterparties were: BARCLAYS CAPITAL SECURITIES LIMITED CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS LIMITED DEUTSCHE BANK AG MORGAN STANLEY & CO. INTERNATIONAL PLC. UBS AG Type and amount of the financial guarantees received by the Fund in order to minimise its counterparty risk: At 31 December, the collateral was held according to the following ratio: The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

[ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report ISIN Code: P shares: FR I shares: FR I EUR Shares: FR I NL EUR shares: FR B shares: FR Classification : International Equities. Management objective: The Fund s objective is to track the performance of the MSCI Industrials Index ( the Index ) as much as possible. The Fund aims to achieve a tracking error of less than 1%. It is possible that the MSCI data cannot be replicated or used for another purpose. MSCI gives no guarantee with respect to the present report, which it has neither prepared nor approved, and accepts no liability in this regard. Benchmark index: MSCI Industrials with net dividends reinvested. This index represents all international equities in the industrial sector. The asset management company and the custodian are available to provide investors with information concerning the benchmark index, the performance of which is shown in periodical documents and the annual report. Details on the benchmark index can be found in the prospectus. Equity risk exposure: 90% minimum. Method of calculating the comprehensive risk ratio: Commitment calculation method. Recommended minimum investment period: More than five years. Subscribers concerned: Class P shares: All investors. Class I shares: Institutional investors. Class B shares: Reserved for Institutional Investors who have entered into a management agreement, or an agreement that is viewed as equivalent, with the management company or one of its affiliates. Class I NL EUR shares: Reserved for the Netherlands institutional investor sales network. Appropriation of earnings: Accumulation. Tax mode: Accumulation fund. Environmental, social and governance quality criteria: Pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the Fund s investment process is independent from the criteria for compliance with social, environmental and governance quality objectives. Investment strategy: The fund manager uses the investment method or methods he considers best suited to attaining the investment objectives. The management strategy aims to use the pure physical tracking method that consists of purchasing all the securities that make up the benchmark index in proportion to their respective weightings. The structure of the portfolio is therefore very close to that of the benchmark. In specifically defined circumstances, the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the index. As an index-based mutual fund, the Fund may make use of the exemptions specified by Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code, relating to the investment limits in financial instruments of a single issuer. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in shares or debt securities of the same issuer, and this limit can be raised to 35% for a single issuer when it is deemed justified by exceptional market conditions, in particular on regulated markets in which certain securities or money market instruments are predominant. Depending on regulatory constraints or market constraints, the Fund may be required to use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio. Consequently, the Fund will generally only hold a subset of the securities included in the index. The portfolio is made up of at least 90% international shares from the industrial sector. The portfolio may contain up to 10% of negotiable debt securities and money market instruments. The Fund invests up to 10% of its assets in shares or units of mutual funds. It may also, to a limited extent, include equity derivatives and equity index derivatives. Indeed, within the regulatory limits, the Fund may deal in forward financial instruments that are traded on French and foreign The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. The SICAV s portfolio may include units or shares of mutual funds managed by State Street or financial instruments in which the Group has a special interest. However, at the end of the financial year, this SICAV portfolio did not include any asset of this type.

Type of instruments used: - On a limited basis, listed derivative instruments, particularly futures contracts on equity indices or equity futures contracts. - On an exceptional basis, unlisted derivative instruments such as equity index swaps, share swaps, or listed or unlisted monetary, bond or interest rate derivative assets. In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. Risk profile: Your money will be invested primarily in financial instruments selected by the management company. These instruments will be exposed to market fluctuations and contingencies.

Furthermore, the following explanations do not represent a comprehensive list of all the risk factors associated with purchasing shares in the Fund, and investors are invited to make up their own minds about whether it is appropriate to invest. They are also encouraged to seek independent advice before buying any shares in the Fund. The Fund s risk profile is fundamentally identical to, or as close as possible to, that of the tracked index. The Fund is primarily exposed to equity market risks. As a result, its value can increase or decrease according to changes in the markets, and the investor may incur capital losses. Even if the general economic conditions do not change, the Fund's net asset value could decline if the industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests do not perform well or are negatively affected. In addition, there is the likelihood of the following specific risks: - There is no guarantee that the Fund s management objectives will be achieved. In practice, no asset or financial instrument allows the benchmark index to be automatically tracked. The changes made to the Fund s assets and the changing weightings of the benchmark index may bring about various transaction or friction costs. Furthermore, the total return generated by investments in the securities comprising the index shall be reduced because of certain costs and expenses that are not included in the calculation of the index. In addition, the Fund may not be able to fully replicate the performance of the index, in particular due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities comprising the index or exceptional circumstances that may distort the weightings of the index. Furthermore, in the event of a suspension or temporary interruption of the pricing of the securities comprising the index or in the event of market disruption, it may prove impossible to rebalance the portfolio of securities comprising the Fund for an unspecified period. The value of the Fund s shares and their income may increase or decrease to reflect changes in the value of the securities in which the Fund invests. - The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk. Some investments and/or types of investment are subject to restrictions when they are sold, may be traded on the over-the-counter market or in limited volumes, or may not benefit from an active trading market. Non-liquid investments may be traded at a lower price with respect to comparable investments that are more liquid, and may be subject to large fluctuations in their market value. It may be hard for the Fund to assign an exact value to illiquid securities. The Fund may also be unable to sell illiquid securities quickly, or sell them at the best time, or sell them at prices close to their value as determined by the Fund. Illiquid securities may also incur registration fees and other transaction fees that are higher than those that apply to liquid securities. - The Fund s investments are managed with the objective of matching the performance of the Benchmark Index. Consequently, the Fund is subject to a tracking error risk, which is the risk that the performance of the Fund s investments fails to match that of the benchmark index. Although the Fund aims to be fully invested at all times, it may from time to time have to hold a portion of its assets as cash. The capacity of the Fund to obtain a substantial correlation between the performance of the Fund and the Benchmark Index may be affected by changes in stock markets, changes in the composition of the Benchmark, cash inflows and outflows to and from the Fund, as well as applicable charges and commissions. The Fund will strive to track the performance of the Benchmark, regardless of the current or predicted performance of the Benchmark or of the securities that comprise it. In addition, the Fund will generally not sell a security included in the Benchmark for as long as that security is part of the Benchmark, notwithstanding any sudden or substantial drop, or any substantial foreseeable drop, in the value of the security, even if the asset management company is able to make a different investment decision for other mutual funds holding that security. The performance of the Fund may thus be less favourable than that of a portfolio managed using an active investment strategy. The structure and the composition of the Benchmark will affect its performance, volatility and risk (in absolute terms and in comparison to other indices) as well as the performance, volatility and risk of the Fund. - Investors must also be aware that the Fund will be exposed to a credit risk on the parties with which it deals and may, in addition, incur the risk of payment default. It is possible that (i) the ability of an issuer to honour its obligations substantially declines in periods in which the Fund holds securities of said issuer, (ii) said issuer defaults on its obligations, or (iii) an issuer s obligations on a security held by the Fund are limited or restructured. Any real or perceived degradation of an issuer s ability to honour its obligations will probably have a negative effect on the value of the issuer's securities and on the net asset value of the Fund. The rating assigned to an investment does not necessarily reflect the current financial situation of the issuer or an evaluation of the volatility or liquidity of an investment. Even if "Investment grade" investments presenta lower credit risk compared to lower-rated investments, they can present certain common risks, including the possibility that their issuers are not able to make on-time interest and principal payments and thereby default on payments. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.
304 SSgA Industrials Index Equity Fund. [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report - Risk linked to securities lending: The Fund may participate in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company. When the Fund becomes involved in securities lending transactions, it becomes exposed to the counterparty s credit risk, because the borrower may be unable to meet its obligations under the loan, could become insolvent or could default or refuse to fulfil its obligations concerning the return of the loaned or equivalent securities. Should this happen, the Fund might be exposed to delays in the return of securities and suffer a capital loss. This could lead to a fall in the Fund s net asset value. The Fund may hedge its exposure to counterparty risk by requiring that the counterparty provide collateral in the form of securities such as shares or debt securities. In the event of a counterparty default and non-recovery of the securities corresponding to those loaned, the Fund may suffer a loss equal to the negative difference between the value of the securities received as collateral and the market value of the substitute securities. Such a negative difference can be explained by poor valuation of the assets received as collateral, unfavourable stock market fluctuations, lack of liquidity on the markets where the securities received as collateral are traded or a downgrading of the credit rating of the counterparty concerned. Participation in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company might lead to less favourable financial results compared with another securities lending program available on the market or a situation in which the Fund lends its securities outside the programme. Pursuant to the provisions of the securities lending agreement in question, the designated lending agent may retain a portion of the income from the securities lending to cover the fees and costs linked to this securities lending activity, including the delivery of the loaned securities, management of guarantees and management of the compensation linked to the securities lending; all fees will be paid at normal commercial interest rates. - French and eurozone investors will be exposed to a currency exchange risk The Fund is exposed to currency risk via the acquisition of or exposure to securities denominated in a currency other than the Fund s base currency. Fluctuations in the values of these currencies against the Fund s base currency may have a positive or negative effect on the Fund s investments that are denominated in such currencies. Although it is not required to do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange contracts, or other currency-related transactions (including derivative transactions), in order to manage exposure to different currencies. These contracts (i) may reduce or eliminate all or part of the profit that the Fund may make as a result of favourable currency fluctuations and (ii) cannot guarantee to protect the Fund against unfavourable fluctuations. - The use of derivatives by the Fund may give rise to risks which differ from those associated with investments in financial securities and other more conventional investments. These risks include, among others, risks of illiquidity, valuation, volatility, market, credit, counterparty, leverage effect, management or other risks linked to commodities related to such products, as well as the risk of losing more than the initial investment. Risk of conflicts of interest: Companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company may offer services to the Fund, such as securities lending management services, custodian services, administration and registrar services, valuation or paying agent services. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and derivative transactions with companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company. The Fund may invest in mutual funds for which the Asset Management Company is the promotion agent or which are affiliated to it or are affiliated to any entity of the State Street group. In this case, the Fund will pay a proportional share of the fees of these underlying mutual funds. In addition, they can pay the fees to the Asset Management Company or its affiliated companies, which may have the effect of increasing the expenses paid by the Fund. There is no guarantee that the rates at which the Fund pays its fees and expenses to the Asset Management Company or to its affiliated companies, or the conditions under which it concludes transactions with entities of the State Street group, or under which it invests in the said mutual funds are the most favourable on the market in general or are as favourable as the rates that the entities in question propose to their clients. There will be no independent review of the fees or expenses paid to these entities nor of the services that they deliver. Due to its financial interest, the Asset Management Company may be encouraged to conclude transactions or make arrangements on behalf of the Fund with the affiliated companies under certain circumstances. The conclusion of transactions with the Management Company or its Affiliated companies or their intermediary, or the use of their services, will be made in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. The Management Company and its affiliated companies provide investment consultancy advice to other customers and may make investment decisions on their own account and on behalf of third parties, especially other funds, which may differ from the decisions that will be taken by the Asset Management Company for the Fund. In particular, the Asset Management Company may provide asset allocation advice to other customers comprising an investment recommendation or divestment for a fund and might not make the same recommendation to all customers invested in the same fund or in similar funds. Other conflicts of interest may arise, for example, when clients of the Asset Management Company invest in different portions of the capital structure of an issuer, meaning that one or more clients hold senior bonds of an The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

Under these circumstances, decisions to trigger a case of failure or relative to the terms of an arrangement may generate conflicts of interest. During investment decisions that may raise a conflict of interest, the Asset Management Company will endeavour to act fairly and justly, in accordance with its conflict of interest policy, towards the fund concerned and towards other customers. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the asset management company and its affiliated companies may invest their own assets and on behalf of clients in various senior securities, equal or lower or hold different or opposing interests to the securities held by the Fund and (ii) the asset management company may occasionally (subject to applicable law) simultaneously seek to buy (or sell) investments for the Fund and sell (or buy) the same investments for accounts, funds or structured products for which it acts as asset manager; during the period under consideration or in the future, or for its clients or affiliates, and may carry out crossed transactions under these circumstances. Furthermore, the asset management company and its affiliates may buy or sell fund securities, if allowed by the applicable law. These other relations may also cause the applicability of the restrictions provided by the law of financial securities to the Fund s transactions on these instruments and created potential conflicts of interest for the asset management company. The asset management company, as part of its other professional activities, may acquire material non-public confidential information that may prevent it from buying or selling the securities for itself or its clients (including the Fund) or from using such information for the benefit of its clients or for its own benefit. - The Fund is exposed to the risk that geopolitical events may disrupt the securities markets, and lead to a deterioration in global economies and markets. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events have resulted and may result in the future in increased short-term market volatility, and could have damaging long-term effects on the global economy and on markets in general. These events, as well as other changes in economic and political conditions, could also be harmful to individual issuers or groups of linked issuers, to securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiments, as well as to other factors affecting the value of the investment portfolio.

[ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report ISIN Code: P shares: FR I shares: FR I EUR shares : FR I NL EUR shares: FR B shares: FR Classification : International Equities. Management objective: The Fund s objective is to track the performance of the MSCI Materials Index ( the Index ) as much as possible. The Fund aims to achieve a tracking error of less than 1%. It is possible that the MSCI data cannot be replicated or used for another purpose. MSCI gives no guarantee with respect to the present report, which it has neither prepared nor approved, and accepts no liability in this regard. Benchmark index: MSCI Materials with net dividends reinvested. This index represents all international equities in the materials sector. The asset management company and the custodian are available to provide investors with information concerning the benchmark index, the performance of which is shown in periodical documents and the annual report. Details on the benchmark index can be found in the prospectus. Equity risk exposure: 90% minimum. Method of calculating the comprehensive risk ratio: Commitment calculation method. Recommended minimum investment period: More than five years. Subscribers concerned: Class P shares: All investors. Class I shares: Institutional investors. Class B shares: Reserved for Institutional Investors who have entered into a management agreement, or an agreement that is viewed as equivalent, with the management company or one of its affiliates. Class I NL EUR shares: Reserved for the Netherlands institutional investor sales network. Appropriation of earnings: Accumulation. Tax mode: Accumulation fund. Environmental, social and governance quality criteria: Pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the Fund s investment process is independent from the criteria for compliance with social, environmental and governance quality objectives. Investment strategy: The fund manager uses the investment method or methods he considers best suited to attaining the investment objectives. The management strategy aims to use the pure physical tracking method, which consists of purchasing all the securities that make up the benchmark index in proportion to their respective weightings. The structure of the portfolio is therefore very close to that of the benchmark. In specifically defined circumstances, the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the index. As an index-based mutual fund, the Fund may make use of the exemptions specified by Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code, relating to the investment limits in financial instruments of a single issuer. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in shares or debt securities of a single issuer, and this limit can be raised to 35% for a single issuer when it is deemed justified by exceptional market conditions, in particular on regulated markets in which certain securities or money market instruments are predominant. Depending on regulatory constraints or market constraints, the Fund may be required to use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio. Consequently, the Fund will generally only hold a subset of the securities included in the index. The portfolio is made up of at least 90% international securities from the materials sector. The portfolio may contain up to 10% of negotiable debt securities and money market instruments. The Fund invests up to 10% of its assets in shares or units of mutual funds. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.

Indeed, within the regulatory limits, the Fund may deal in forward financial instruments that are traded on French and foreign regulated markets or on over-the-counter markets, especially index futures, up to a maximum of 10% of the assets. In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. The SICAV s portfolio may include units or shares of mutual funds managed by State Street or financial instruments in which the Group has a special interest. However, at the end of the financial year, this SICAV portfolio did not include any asset of this type. Changes in the securities portfolio during the period: Securities portfolio items Changes (amount) Purchases Sales a) Eligible financial securities and money market instruments admitted for trading on a regulated market pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code 2,687, ,117, b) Eligible financial securities and money market instruments admitted for trading on another regulated market, that operates regularly, is recognised and open to the public and whose registered office is located in a Member State of the European Union, or in another country that is a party to the European Economic Area agreement c) Eligible financial securities and money market instruments admitted for official listing on a securities exchange in a thirdparty country or traded on another market in a third-party country that is regulated, operates regularly, is recognised and open to the public, provided that this securities exchange or market is not contained in a list prepared by the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) or that the choice of that exchange or market is allowed by law or by the Articles of Association of the undertaking for collective investment in transferrable securities. d) The newly issued financial securities mentioned in paragraph 4 of section I of Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code; 4,345, ,534, e) Other assets: These are the assets mentioned in Part II of Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code Financial derivatives: The Fund may also, to a limited extent, include equity derivatives and equity index derivatives. Indeed, within the regulatory limits, the Fund may deal in forward financial instruments that are traded on French and foreign regulated markets or on over-the-counter markets, especially index futures, up to a maximum of 10% of the assets. Type of instruments used: - On a limited basis, listed derivative instruments, particularly futures contracts on equity indices or equity futures contracts. - On an exceptional basis, unlisted derivative instruments such as equity index swaps, share swaps, or listed or unlisted monetary, bond or interest rate derivative assets. In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

338 SSgA Materials Index Equity Fund. [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report Risk profile: Your money will be invested primarily in financial instruments selected by the management company. These instruments will be exposed to market fluctuations and contingencies. Investors must be aware of the risks set out below. Furthermore, the following explanations do not represent a comprehensive list of all the risk factors associated with purchasing shares in the Fund, and investors are invited to make up their own minds about whether it is appropriate to invest. They are also encouraged to seek independent advice before buying any shares in the Fund. The Fund s risk profile is fundamentally identical to, or as close as possible to, that of the tracked index. The Fund is primarily exposed to equity market risks. As a result, its value can increase or decrease according to changes in the markets, and the investor may incur capital losses. Even if the general economic conditions do not change, the Fund's net asset value could decline if the industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests do not perform well or are negatively affected. In addition, there is the likelihood of the following specific risks: - There is no guarantee that the Fund s management objectives will be achieved. In practice, no asset or financial instrument allows the benchmark index to be automatically tracked. The changes made to the Fund s assets and the changing weightings of the benchmark index may bring about various transaction or friction costs. Furthermore, the total return generated by investments in the securities comprising the index shall be reduced because of certain costs and expenses that are not included in the calculation of the index. In addition, the Fund may not be able to fully replicate the performance of the index, in particular due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities comprising the index or exceptional circumstances that may distort the weightings of the index. Furthermore, in the event of a suspension or temporary interruption of the pricing of the securities comprising the index or in the event of market disruption, it may prove impossible to rebalance the portfolio of securities comprising the Fund for an unspecified period. The value of the Fund s shares and their income may increase or decrease to reflect changes in the value of the securities in which the Fund invests. - The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk. Some investments and/or types of investment are subject to restrictions when they are sold, may be traded on the over-the-counter market or in limited volumes, or may not benefit from an active trading market. Non-liquid investments may be traded at a lower price with respect to comparable investments that are more liquid, and may be subject to large fluctuations in their market value. It may be hard for the Fund to assign an exact value to illiquid securities. The Fund may also be unable to sell illiquid securities quickly, or sell them at the best time, or sell them at prices close to their value as determined by the Fund. Illiquid securities may also incur registration fees and other transaction fees that are higher than those that apply to liquid securities. - The Fund s investments are managed with the objective of matching the performance of the Benchmark Index. Consequently, the Fund is subject to a tracking error risk, which is the risk that the performance of the Fund s investments fails to match that of the benchmark index. Although the Fund aims to be fully invested at all times, it may from time to time have to hold a portion of its assets as cash. The capacity of the Fund to obtain a substantial correlation between the performance of the Fund and the Benchmark Index may be affected by changes in stock markets, changes in the composition of the Benchmark, cash inflows and outflows to and from the Fund, as well as applicable charges and commissions. The Fund will strive to track the performance of the Benchmark, regardless of the current or predicted performance of the Benchmark or of the securities that comprise it. In addition, the Fund will generally not sell a security included in the Benchmark for as long as that security is part of the Benchmark, notwithstanding any sudden or substantial drop, or any substantial foreseeable drop, in the value of the security, even if the asset management company is able to make a different investment decision for other mutual funds holding that security. The performance of the Fund may thus be less favourable than that of a portfolio managed using an active investment strategy. The structure and the composition of the Benchmark will affect its performance, volatility and risk (in absolute terms and in comparison to other indices) as well as the performance, volatility and risk of the Fund. - Investors must also be aware that the Fund will be exposed to a credit risk on the parties with which it deals and may, in addition, incur the risk of payment default. It is possible that (i) the ability of an issuer to honour its obligations substantially declines in periods in which the Fund holds securities of said issuer, (ii) said issuer defaults on its obligations, or (iii) an issuer s obligations on a security held by the Fund are limited or restructured. Any real or perceived degradation of an issuer s ability to honour its obligations will probably have a negative effect on the value of the issuer's securities and on the net asset value of the Fund. The rating assigned to an investment does not necessarily reflect the current financial situation of the issuer or an evaluation of the volatility or liquidity of an investment. Even if The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.
339 SSgA Materials Index Equity Fund. [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report "Investment grade" investments presenta lower credit risk compared to lower-rated investments, they can present certain common risks, including the possibility that their issuers are not able to make on-time interest and principal payments and thereby default on payments. - Risk linked to securities lending: The Fund may participate in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company. When the Fund becomes involved in securities lending transactions, it becomes exposed to the counterparty s credit risk, because the borrower may be unable to meet its obligations under the loan, could become insolvent or could default or refuse to fulfil its obligations concerning the return of the loaned or equivalent securities. Should this happen, the Fund might be exposed to delays in the return of securities and suffer a capital loss. This could lead to a fall in the Fund s net asset value. The Fund may hedge its exposure to counterparty risk by requiring that the counterparty provide collateral in the form of securities such as shares or debt securities. In the event of a counterparty default and non-recovery of the securities corresponding to those loaned, the Fund may suffer a loss equal to the negative difference between the value of the securities received as collateral and the market value of the substitute securities. Such a negative difference can be explained by poor valuation of the assets received as collateral, unfavourable stock market fluctuations, lack of liquidity on the markets where the securities received as collateral are traded or a downgrading of the credit rating of the counterparty concerned. Participation in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company might lead to less favourable financial results compared with another securities lending program available on the market or a situation in which the Fund lends its securities outside the programme. Pursuant to the provisions of the securities lending agreement in question, the designated lending agent may retain a portion of the income from the securities lending to cover the fees and costs linked to this securities lending activity, including the delivery of the loaned securities, management of guarantees and management of the compensation linked to the securities lending; all fees will be paid at normal commercial interest rates. - French and eurozone investors will be exposed to a currency exchange risk The Fund is exposed to currency risk via the acquisition of or exposure to securities denominated in a currency other than the Fund s base currency. Fluctuations in the values of these currencies against the Fund s base currency may have a positive or negative effect on the Fund s investments that are denominated in such currencies. Although it is not required to do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange contracts, or other currency-related transactions (including derivative transactions), in order to manage exposure to different currencies. These contracts (i) may reduce or eliminate all or part of the profit that the Fund may make as a result of favourable currency fluctuations and (ii) cannot guarantee to protect the Fund against unfavourable fluctuations. - The use of derivatives by the Fund may give rise to risks which differ from those associated with investments in financial securities and other more conventional investments. These risks include, among others, risks of illiquidity, valuation, volatility, market, credit, counterparty, leverage effect, management or other risks linked to commodities related to such products, as well as the risk of losing more than the initial investment. Risk of conflicts of interest: Companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company may offer services to the Fund, such as securities lending management services, custodian services, administration and registrar services, valuation or paying agent services. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and derivative transactions with companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company. The Fund may invest in mutual funds for which the Asset Management Company is the promotion agent or which are affiliated to it or are affiliated to any entity of the State Street group. In this case, the Fund will pay a proportional share of the fees of these underlying mutual funds. In addition, they can pay the fees to the Asset Management Company or its affiliated companies, which may have the effect of increasing the expenses paid by the Fund. There is no guarantee that the rates at which the Fund pays its fees and expenses to the Asset Management Company or to its affiliated companies, or the conditions under which it concludes transactions with entities of the State Street group, or under which it invests in the said mutual funds are the most favourable on the market in general or are as favourable as the rates that the entities in question propose to their clients. There will be no independent review of the fees or expenses paid to these entities nor of the services that they deliver. Due to its financial interest, the Asset Management Company may be encouraged to conclude transactions or make arrangements on behalf of the Fund with the affiliated companies under certain circumstances. The conclusion of transactions with the Management Company or its Affiliated companies or their intermediary, or the use of their services, will be made in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. The Management Company and its affiliated companies provide investment consultancy advice to other customers and may make investment decisions on their own account and on behalf of third parties, especially other funds, which may differ from the decisions that will be taken by the Asset Management Company for the Fund. In particular, the Asset Management Company may provide asset allocation advice to other customers comprising an investment recommendation or divestment for a fund and might not make the same recommendation to all customers invested in the same fund or in similar funds. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

[ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report Other conflicts of interest may arise, for example, when clients of the Asset Management Company invest in different portions of the capital structure of an issuer, meaning that one or more clients hold senior bonds of an issuer while other clients hold subordinated bonds of the same issuer; this may also be the case when clients invest in different tranches of the same structured financial instrument. Under these circumstances, decisions to trigger a case of failure or relative to the terms of an arrangement may generate conflicts of interest. During investment decisions that may raise a conflict of interest, the Asset Management Company will endeavour to act fairly and justly, in accordance with its conflict of interest policy, towards the fund concerned and towards other customers. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the asset management company and its affiliated companies may invest their own assets and on behalf of clients in various senior securities, equal or lower or hold different or opposing interests to the securities held by the Fund and (ii) the asset management company may occasionally (subject to applicable law) simultaneously seek to buy (or sell) investments for the Fund and sell (or buy) the same investments for accounts, funds or structured products for which it acts as asset manager; during the period under consideration or in the future, or for its clients or affiliates, and may carry out crossed transactions under these circumstances. Furthermore, the asset management company and its affiliates may buy or sell fund securities, if allowed by the applicable law. These other relations may also cause the applicability of the restrictions provided by the law of financial securities to the Fund s transactions on these instruments and created potential conflicts of interest for the asset management company. The asset management company, as part of its other professional activities, may acquire material non-public confidential information that may prevent it from buying or selling the securities for itself or its clients (including the Fund) or from using such information for the benefit of its clients or for its own benefit. - The Fund is exposed to the risk that geopolitical events may disrupt the securities markets, and lead to a deterioration in global economies and markets. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events have resulted and may result in the future in increased short-term market volatility, and could have damaging long-term effects on the global economy and on markets in general. These events, as well as other changes in economic and political conditions, could also be harmful to individual issuers or groups of linked issuers, to securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiments, as well as to other factors affecting the value of the investment portfolio. The continuing uncertainty surrounding the euro and European Monetary Union ( EMU ) has led to significant volatility in currencies and in financial markets in general. Any partial or total unravelling of the EMU, or any persistent uncertainty regarding its status may have a significant detrimental effect on the money and financial markets, as well as on the value of the Fund s investments. Temporary sale of securities: During the financial year, the Fund loaned securities from its portfolio. The revenues resulting from temporary sales of securities are received in full by the Fund, minus any direct or indirect operating expenses generated by such transactions.

Management objective: The Fund s objective is to track the performance of the MSCI Technology Index ( the Index ) as much as possible. The Fund aims to achieve a tracking error of less than 1%. It is possible that the MSCI data cannot be replicated or used for another purpose. MSCI gives no guarantee with respect to the present report, which it has neither prepared nor approved, and accepts no liability in this regard. Benchmark index: MSCI Information Technology with net dividends reinvested. This index represents all international equities in the technology sector. The asset management company and the custodian are available to provide investors with information concerning the benchmark index, the performance of which is shown in periodical documents and the annual report. Details on the benchmark index can be found in the prospectus. Equity risk exposure: 90% minimum. Method of calculating the comprehensive risk ratio: Commitment calculation method. Recommended minimum investment period: More than five years. Subscribers concerned: Class P shares: All investors. Class I shares: Institutional investors. Class B shares: Reserved for Institutional Investors who have entered into a management agreement, or an agreement that is viewed as equivalent, with the management company or one of its affiliates. Class I NL EUR shares: Reserved for the Netherlands institutional investor sales network. Appropriation of earnings: Accumulation. Tax mode: Accumulation fund. Environmental, social and governance quality criteria: Pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the Fund s investment process is independent from the criteria for compliance with social, environmental and governance quality objectives. Investment strategy: The fund manager uses the investment method or methods he considers best suited to attaining the investment objectives. The management strategy aims to use the pure physical tracking method that consists of purchasing all the securities that make up the benchmark index in proportion to their respective weightings. The structure of the portfolio is therefore very close to that of the benchmark. In specifically defined circumstances, the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the index. As an index-based mutual fund, the Fund may make use of the exemptions specified by Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code, relating to the investment limits in financial instruments of a single issuer. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in shares or debt securities of the same issuer, and this limit can be raised to 35% for a single issuer when it is deemed justified by exceptional market conditions, in particular on regulated markets in which certain securities or money market instruments are predominant. Depending on regulatory constraints or market constraints, the Fund may be required to use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio. Consequently, the Fund will generally only hold a subset of securities included in the index. The portfolio is made up of at least 90% international securities from the technology sector. The portfolio may contain up to 10% of negotiable debt securities and money market instruments. The Fund invests up to 10% of its assets in shares or units of mutual funds. It may also, to a limited extent, include equity derivatives and The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.

They are also encouraged to seek independent advice before buying any shares in the Fund. The Fund s risk profile is fundamentally identical to, or as close as possible to, that of the tracked index. The Fund is primarily exposed to equity market risks. As a result, its value can increase or decrease according to changes in the markets, and the investor may incur capital losses. Even if the general economic conditions do not change, the Fund's net asset value could decline if the industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests do not perform well or are negatively affected. In addition, there is the likelihood of the following specific risks: - There is no guarantee that the Fund s management objectives will be achieved. In practice, no asset or financial instrument allows the benchmark index to be automatically tracked. The changes made to the Fund s assets and the changing weightings of the benchmark index may bring about various transaction or friction costs. Furthermore, the total return generated by investments in the securities comprising the index shall be reduced because of certain costs and expenses that are not included in the calculation of the index. In addition, the Fund may not be able to fully replicate the performance of the index, in particular due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities comprising the index or exceptional circumstances that may distort the weightings of the index. Furthermore, in the event of a suspension or temporary interruption of the listing of the securities comprising the index or in the event of market disruption, it may prove impossible to rebalance the portfolio of securities comprising the Fund for an unspecified period. The value of the Fund s shares and their income may increase or decrease to reflect changes in the value of the securities in which the Fund invests. - The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk. Some investments and/or types of investment are subject to restrictions when they are sold, may be traded on the over-the-counter market or in limited volumes, or may not benefit from an active trading market. Non-liquid investments may be traded at a lower price with respect to comparable investments that are more liquid, and may be subject to large fluctuations in their market value. It may be hard for the Fund to assign an exact value to illiquid securities. The Fund may also be unable to sell illiquid securities quickly, or sell them at the best time, or sell them at prices close to their value as determined by the Fund. Illiquid securities may also incur registration fees and other transaction fees that are higher than those that apply to liquid securities. - The Fund s investments are managed with the objective of matching the performance of the Benchmark Index. Consequently, the Fund is subject to a tracking error risk, which is the risk that the performance of the Fund s investments fails to match that of the benchmark index. Although the Fund aims to be fully invested at all times, it may from time to time have to hold a portion of its assets as cash. The capacity of the Fund to obtain a substantial correlation between the performance of the Fund and the Benchmark Index may be affected by changes in stock markets, changes in the composition of the Benchmark, cash inflows and outflows to and from the Fund, as well as applicable charges and commissions. The Fund will strive to track the performance of the benchmark, regardless of the current or predicted performance of the Benchmark or of the securities that comprise it. In addition, the Fund will generally not sell a security included in the Benchmark for as long as that security is part of the Benchmark, notwithstanding any sudden or substantial drop, or any substantial foreseeable drop, in the value of the security, even if the asset management company is able to make a different investment decision for other mutual funds holding that security. The performance of the Fund may thus be less favourable than that of a portfolio managed using an active investment strategy. The structure and the composition of the Benchmark will affect its performance, volatility and risk (in absolute terms and in comparison to other indices) as well as the performance, volatility and risk of the Fund. Investors must also be aware that the Fund will be exposed to a credit risk on the parties with which it deals and may incur a payment default risk. It is possible that (i) the ability of an issuer to honour its obligations substantially declines in periods in which the Fund holds securities of said issuer, (ii) said issuer defaults on its obligations, or (iii) an issuer s obligations on a security held by the Fund are limited or restructured. Any real or perceived degradation of an issuer s ability to honour its obligations will probably have a negative effect on the value of the issuer's securities and on the net asset value of the Fund. The rating assigned to an investment does not necessarily reflect the current financial situation of the issuer or an evaluation of the volatility or liquidity of an investment. Even if "Investment grade" investments present a lower credit risk compared to lower- The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

When the Fund becomes involved in securities lending transactions, it becomes exposed to the counterparty s credit risk, because the borrower may be unable to meet its obligations under the loan, could become insolvent or could default or refuse to fulfil its obligations concerning the return of the loaned or equivalent securities. Should this happen, the Fund might be exposed to delays in the return of securities and suffer a capital loss. This could lead to a fall in the Fund s net asset value. The Fund may hedge its exposure to counterparty risk by requiring that the counterparty provide collateral in the form of securities such as shares or debt securities. In the event of a counterparty default and non-recovery of the securities corresponding to those loaned, the Fund may suffer a loss equal to the negative difference between the value of the securities received as collateral and the market value of the substitute securities. Such a negative difference can be explained by poor valuation of the assets received as collateral, unfavourable stock market fluctuations, lack of liquidity on the markets where the securities received as collateral are traded or a downgrading of the credit rating of the counterparty concerned. Participation in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company might lead to less favourable financial results compared with another securities lending program available on the market or a situation in which the Fund lends its securities outside the programme. Pursuant to the provisions of the securities lending agreement in question, the designated lending agent may retain a portion of the income from the securities lending to cover the fees and costs linked to this securities lending activity, including the delivery of the loaned securities, management of guarantees and management of the compensation linked to the securities lending; all fees will be paid at normal commercial interest rates. - French and eurozone investors will be exposed to a currency exchange risk The Fund is exposed to currency risk via the acquisition of or exposure to securities denominated in a currency other than the Fund s base currency. Fluctuations in the values of these currencies against the Fund s base currency may have a positive or negative effect on the Fund s investments that are denominated in such currencies. Although it is not required to do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange contracts, or other currency-related transactions (including derivative transactions), in order to manage exposure to different currencies. These contracts (i) may reduce or eliminate all or part of the profit that the Fund may make as a result of favourable currency fluctuations and (ii) cannot guarantee to protect the Fund against unfavourable fluctuations. - The use of derivatives by the Fund may give rise to risks which differ from those associated with investments in financial securities and other more conventional investments. These risks include, among others, risks of illiquidity, valuation, volatility, market, credit, counterparty, leverage effect, management or other risks linked to commodities related to such products, as well as the risk of losing more than the initial investment. Risk of conflicts of interest: Companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company may offer services to the Fund, such as securities lending management services, custodian services, administration and registrar services, valuation or paying agent services. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and derivative transactions with companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company. The Fund may invest in mutual funds for which the Asset Management Company is the promotion agent or which are affiliated to it or are affiliated to any entity of the State Street group. In this case, the Fund will pay a proportional share of the fees of these underlying mutual funds. In addition, they can pay the fees to the Asset Management Company or its affiliated companies, which may have the effect of increasing the expenses paid by the Fund. There is no guarantee that the rates at which the Fund pays its fees and expenses to the Asset Management Company or to its affiliated companies, or the conditions under which it concludes transactions with entities of the State Street group, or under which it invests in the said mutual funds are the most favourable on the market in general or are as favourable as the rates that the entities in question propose to their clients. There will be no independent review of the fees or expenses paid to these entities nor of the services that they deliver. Due to its financial interest, the Asset Management Company may be encouraged to conclude transactions or make arrangements on behalf of the Fund with the affiliated companies under certain circumstances. The conclusion of transactions with the Management Company or its Affiliated companies or their intermediary, or the use of their services, will be made in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. The Management Company and its affiliated companies provide investment consultancy advice to other customers and may make investment decisions on their own account and on behalf of third parties, especially other funds, which may differ from the decisions that will be taken by the Asset Management Company for the Fund. In particular, the Asset Management Company may provide asset allocation advice to other customers comprising an investment recommendation or divestment for a fund and might not make the same recommendation to all customers invested in the same fund or in similar funds. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

Under these circumstances, decisions to trigger a case of failure or relative to the terms of an arrangement may generate conflicts of interest. During investment decisions that may raise a conflict of interest, the Asset Management Company will endeavour to act fairly and justly, in accordance with its conflict of interest policy, towards the fund concerned and towards other customers. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the asset management company and its affiliated companies may invest their own assets and on behalf of clients in various senior securities, equal or lower or hold different or opposing interests to the securities held by the Fund and (ii) the asset management company may occasionally (subject to applicable law) simultaneously seek to buy (or sell) investments for the Fund and sell (or buy) the same investments for accounts, funds or structured products for which it acts as asset manager; during the period under consideration or in the future, or for its clients or affiliates, and may carry out crossed transactions under these circumstances. Furthermore, the asset management company and its affiliates may buy or sell fund securities, if allowed by the applicable law. These other relations may also cause the applicability of the restrictions provided by the law of financial securities to the Fund s transactions on these instruments and created potential conflicts of interest for the asset management company. The asset management company, as part of its other professional activities, may acquire material non-public confidential information that may prevent it from buying or selling the securities for itself or its clients (including the Fund) or from using such information for the benefit of its clients or for its own benefit. - The Fund is exposed to the risk that geopolitical events may disrupt the securities markets, and lead to a deterioration in global economies and markets. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events have resulted and may result in the future in increased short-term market volatility, and could have damaging long-term effects on the global economy and on markets in general. These events, as well as other changes in economic and political conditions, could also be harmful to individual issuers or groups of linked issuers, to securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiments, as well as to other factors affecting the value of the investment portfolio. The continuing uncertainty surrounding the euro and European Monetary Union ( EMU ) has led to significant volatility in currencies and in financial markets in general. Any partial or total unravelling of the EMU, or any persistent uncertainty regarding its status may have a significant detrimental effect on the money and financial markets, as well as on the value of the Fund s investments. The attention of investors is also drawn to the fact that NASDAQ s new market is a regulated market designed to accommodate companies which, by reason of their specific features, may expose the investor to risk. Temporary sale of securities: During the financial year, the Fund loaned securities from its portfolio. The revenues resulting from temporary sales of securities are received in full by the Fund, minus any direct or indirect operating expenses generated by such transactions.

406 SSgA Telecommunication Index Equity Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s S I C A V] 2015 Annual Report ISIN Code: P shares: FR I shares: FR I EUR Shares: FR I NL EUR shares: FR B shares: FR Classification: International Equities. Management objective: The Fund s objective is to track the MSCI Telecommunication Services Index ( the Index ) as much as possible. The Fund aims to achieve a tracking error of less than 1%. It is possible that the MSCI data cannot be replicated or used for another purpose. MSCI gives no guarantee with respect to the present report, which it has neither prepared nor approved, and accepts no liability in this regard. Benchmark index: MSCI Telecommunication Services with net dividends reinvested. This index represents all international equities in the Telecommunications sector. The asset management company and the custodian are available to provide investors with information concerning the benchmark index, the performance of which is shown in periodical documents and the annual report. Details on the benchmark index can be found in the prospectus. Equity risk exposure: 90% minimum. Method of calculating the comprehensive risk ratio: Commitment calculation method. Recommended minimum investment period: More than five years. Subscribers concerned: Class P shares: All investors. Class I shares: Institutional investors. Class B shares: Reserved for Institutional Investors who have entered into a management agreement, or an agreement that is viewed as equivalent, with the management company or one of its affiliates. Class I NL EUR shares: Reserved for the Netherlands institutional investor sales network. Appropriation of earnings: Accumulation. Tax mode: Accumulation fund. Environmental, social and governance quality criteria: Pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the Fund s investment process is independent from the criteria for compliance with social, environmental and governance quality objectives. Investment strategy: The fund manager uses the investment method or methods he considers best suited to attaining the investment objectives. The management strategy aims to use the pure physical tracking method that consists of purchasing all the securities that make up the benchmark index in proportion to their respective weightings. The structure of the portfolio is therefore very close to that of the benchmark. In specifically defined circumstances, the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the index. As an index-based mutual fund, the Fund may make use of the exemptions specified by Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code, relating to the investment limits in financial instruments of a single issuer. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in shares or debt securities of the same issuer, and this limit can be raised to 35% for a single issuer when it is deemed justified by exceptional market conditions, in particular on regulated markets in which certain securities or money market instruments are predominant. Depending on regulatory constraints or market constraints, the Fund may be required to use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio. Consequently, the Fund will generally only hold a subset of the securities included in the index. The portfolio is made up of at least 90% international securities from the telecommunications sector. The portfolio may contain up to 10% of negotiable debt securities and money market instruments. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.
407 SSgA Telecommunication Index Equity Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s S I C A V] 2015 Annual Report The Fund invests up to 10% of its assets in shares or units of mutual funds. It may also, to a limited extent, include equity derivatives and equity index derivatives.

408 SSgA Telecommunication Index Equity Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s S I C A V] 2015 Annual Report Risk profile: Your money will be invested primarily in financial instruments selected by the management company. These instruments will be exposed to market fluctuations and contingencies. Investors must be aware of the risks set out below. Furthermore, the following explanations do not represent a comprehensive list of all the risk factors associated with purchasing shares in the Fund, and investors are invited to make up their own minds about whether it is appropriate to invest. They are also encouraged to seek independent advice before buying any shares in the Fund. The Fund s risk profile is fundamentally identical to, or as close as possible to, that of the tracked index. The Fund is primarily exposed to equity market risks. As a result, its value can increase or decrease according to changes in the markets, and the investor may incur capital losses. Even if the general economic conditions do not change, the Fund's net asset value could decline if the industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests do not perform well or are negatively affected. In addition, there is the likelihood of the following specific risks: - There is no guarantee that the Fund s management objectives will be achieved. In practice, no asset or financial instrument allows the benchmark index to be automatically tracked. The changes made to the Fund s assets and the changing weightings of the benchmark index may bring about various transaction or friction costs. Furthermore, the total return generated by investments in the securities comprising the index shall be reduced because of certain costs and expenses that are not included in the calculation of the index. In addition, the Fund may not be able to fully replicate the performance of the index, in particular due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities comprising the index or exceptional circumstances that may distort the weightings of the index. Furthermore, in the event of a suspension or temporary interruption of the pricing of the securities comprising the index or in the event of market disruption, it may prove impossible to rebalance the portfolio of securities comprising the Fund for an unspecified period. The value of the Fund s shares and their income may increase or decrease to reflect changes in the value of the securities in which the Fund invests. - The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk. Some investments and/or types of investment are subject to restrictions when they are sold, may be traded on the over-the-counter market or in limited volumes, or may not benefit from an active trading market. Non-liquid investments may be traded at a lower price with respect to comparable investments that are more liquid, and may be subject to large fluctuations in their market value. It may be hard for the Fund to assign an exact value to illiquid securities. The Fund may also be unable to sell illiquid securities quickly, or sell them at the best time, or sell them at prices close to their value as determined by the Fund. Illiquid securities may also incur registration fees and other transaction fees that are higher than those that apply to liquid securities. - The Fund s investments are managed with the objective of matching the performance of the Benchmark Index. Consequently, the Fund is subject to a tracking error risk, which is the risk that the performance of the Fund s investments fails to match that of the benchmark index. Although the Fund aims to be fully invested at all times, it may from time to time have to hold a portion of its assets as cash. The capacity of the Fund to obtain a substantial correlation between the performance of the Fund and the Benchmark Index may be affected by changes in stock markets, changes in the composition of the Benchmark, cash inflows and outflows to and from the Fund, as well as applicable charges and commissions. The Fund will strive to track the performance of the Benchmark, regardless of the current or predicted performance of the Benchmark or of the securities that comprise it. In addition, the Fund will generally not sell a security included in the Benchmark for as long as that security is part of the Benchmark, notwithstanding any sudden or substantial drop, or any substantial foreseeable drop, in the value of the security, even if the asset management company is able to make a different investment decision for other mutual funds holding that security. The performance of the Fund may thus be less favourable than that of a portfolio managed using an active investment strategy. The structure and the composition of the Benchmark will affect its performance, volatility and risk (in absolute terms and in comparison to other indices) as well as the performance, volatility and risk of the Fund. - Investors must also be aware that the Fund will be exposed to a credit risk on the parties with which it deals and may, in addition, incur the risk of payment default. It is possible that (i) the ability of an issuer to honour its obligations substantially declines in periods in which the Fund holds securities of said issuer, (ii) said issuer defaults on its obligations, or (iii) an issuer s obligations on a security held by the Fund are limited or restructured. Any real or perceived degradation of an issuer s ability to honour its obligations will probably have a negative effect on the value of the issuer's securities and on the net asset value of the Fund. The rating assigned to an investment does not necessarily reflect the The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

409 SSgA Telecommunication Index Equity Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s S I C A V] 2015 Annual Report current financial situation of the issuer or an evaluation of the volatility or liquidity of an investment. Even if "Investment grade" investments present a lower credit risk compared to lower-rated investments, they can present certain common risks, including the possibility that their issuers are not able to make on-time interest and principal payments and thereby default on payments. - Risk linked to securities lending: The Fund may participate in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company. When the Fund becomes involved in securities lending transactions, it becomes exposed to the counterparty s credit risk, because the borrower may be unable to meet its obligations under the loan, could become insolvent or could default or refuse to fulfil its obligations concerning the return of the loaned or equivalent securities. Should this happen, the Fund might be exposed to delays in the return of securities and suffer a capital loss. This could lead to a fall in the Fund s net asset value. The Fund may hedge its exposure to counterparty risk by requiring that the counterparty provide collateral in the form of securities such as shares or debt securities. In the event of a counterparty default and non-recovery of the securities corresponding to those loaned, the Fund may suffer a loss equal to the negative difference between the value of the securities received as collateral and the market value of the substitute securities. Such a negative difference can be explained by poor valuation of the assets received as collateral, unfavourable stock market fluctuations, lack of liquidity on the markets where the securities received as collateral are traded or a downgrading of the credit rating of the counterparty concerned. Participation in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company might lead to less favourable financial results compared with another securities lending program available on the market or a situation in which the Fund lends its securities outside the programme. Pursuant to the provisions of the securities lending agreement in question, the designated lending agent may retain a portion of the income from the securities lending to cover the fees and costs linked to this securities lending activity, including the delivery of the loaned securities, management of guarantees and management of the compensation linked to the securities lending; all fees will be paid at normal commercial interest rates. - French and eurozone investors will be exposed to a currency exchange risk The Fund is exposed to currency risk via the acquisition of or exposure to securities denominated in a currency other than the Fund s base currency. Fluctuations in the values of these currencies against the Fund s base currency may have a positive or negative effect on the Fund s investments that are denominated in such currencies. Although it is not required to do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange contracts, or other currency-related transactions (including derivative transactions), in order to manage exposure to different currencies. These contracts (i) may reduce or eliminate all or part of the profit that the Fund may make as a result of favourable currency fluctuations and (ii) cannot guarantee to protect the Fund against unfavourable fluctuations. - The use of derivatives by the Fund may give rise to risks which differ from those associated with investments in financial securities and other more conventional investments. These risks include, among others, risks of illiquidity, valuation, volatility, market, credit, counterparty, leverage effect, management or other risks linked to commodities related to such products, as well as the risk of losing more than the initial investment. Risk of conflicts of interest: Companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company may offer services to the Fund, such as securities lending management services, custodian services, administration and registrar services, valuation or paying agent services. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and derivative transactions with companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company. The Fund may invest in mutual funds for which the Asset Management Company is the promotion agent or which are affiliated to it or are affiliated to any entity of the State Street group. In this case, the Fund will pay a proportional share of the fees of these underlying mutual funds. In addition, they can pay the fees to the Asset Management Company or its affiliated companies, which may have the effect of increasing the expenses paid by the Fund. There is no guarantee that the rates at which the Fund pays its fees and expenses to the Asset Management Company or to its affiliated companies, or the conditions under which it concludes transactions with entities of the State Street group, or under which it invests in the said mutual funds are the most favourable on the market in general or are as favourable as the rates that the entities in question propose to their clients. There will be no independent review of the fees or expenses paid to these entities nor of the services that they deliver. Due to its financial interest, the Asset Management Company may be encouraged to conclude transactions or make arrangements on behalf of the Fund with the affiliated companies under certain circumstances. The conclusion of transactions with the Management Company or its Affiliated companies or their intermediary, or the use of their services, will be made in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. The Management Company and its affiliated companies provide investment consultancy advice to other customers and may make investment decisions on their own account and on behalf of third parties, especially other funds, which may differ from the decisions that will be taken by the Asset Management Company for the Fund. In particular, the Asset Management Company may provide asset allocation advice to other customers The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.

Other conflicts of interest may arise, for example, when clients of the Asset Management Company invest in different portions of the capital structure of an issuer, meaning that one or more clients hold senior bonds of an issuer while other clients hold subordinated bonds of the same issuer; this may also be the case when clients invest in different tranches of the same structured financial instrument. Under these circumstances, decisions to trigger a case of failure or relative to the terms of an arrangement may generate conflicts of interest. During investment decisions that may raise a conflict of interest, the Asset Management Company will endeavour to act fairly and justly, in accordance with its conflict of interest policy, towards the fund concerned and towards other customers. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the asset management company and its affiliated companies may invest their own assets and on behalf of clients in various senior securities, equal or lower or hold different or opposing interests to the securities held by the Fund and (ii) the asset management company may occasionally (subject to applicable law) simultaneously seek to buy (or sell) investments for the Fund and sell (or buy) the same investments for accounts, funds or structured products for which it acts as asset manager; during the period under consideration or in the future, or for its clients or affiliates, and may carry out crossed transactions under these circumstances. Furthermore, the asset management company and its affiliates may buy or sell fund securities, if allowed by the applicable law. These other relations may also cause the applicability of the restrictions provided by the law of financial securities to the Fund s transactions on these instruments and created potential conflicts of interest for the asset management company. The asset management company, as part of its other professional activities, may acquire material non-public confidential information that may prevent it from buying or selling the securities for itself or its clients (including the Fund) or from using such information for the benefit of its clients or for its own benefit. - The Fund is exposed to the risk that geopolitical events may disrupt the securities markets, and lead to a deterioration in global economies and markets. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events have resulted and may result in the future in increased short-term market volatility, and could have damaging long-term effects on the global economy and on markets in general. These events, as well as other changes in economic and political conditions, could also be harmful to individual issuers or groups of linked issuers, to securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiments, as well as to other factors affecting the value of the investment portfolio. The continuing uncertainty surrounding the euro and European Monetary Union ( EMU ) has led to significant volatility in currencies and in financial markets in general. Any partial or total unravelling of the EMU, or any persistent uncertainty regarding its status may have a significant detrimental effect on the money and financial markets, as well as on the value of the Fund s investments. Temporary sale of securities: During the financial year, the Fund loaned securities from its portfolio. The revenues resulting from temporary sales of securities are received in full by the Fund, minus any direct or indirect operating expenses generated by such transactions. Exposure obtained through effective portfolio management techniques: As at 31. December 2015 the position in loaned securities was US$20,339 with collateral worth US$ Identity of the counterparty (parties) to these effective portfolio management techniques: The lending agent is State Street Bank GMBH.

Management objective: The Fund s objective is to track the performance of the MSCI Utilities index ( the Index ) as closely as possible. The Fund aims to achieve a tracking error of less than 1%. It is possible that the MSCI data cannot be replicated or used for another purpose. MSCI gives no guarantee with respect to the present report, which it has neither prepared nor approved, and accepts no liability in this regard. Benchmark index: MSCI Utilities with net dividends reinvested. This index is representative of all international equities belonging to the utilities sector. The asset management company and the custodian are available to provide investors with information concerning the benchmark index, the performance of which is shown in periodical documents and the annual report. Details on the benchmark index can be found in the prospectus. Equity risk exposure: 90% minimum. Method of calculating the comprehensive risk ratio: Commitment calculation method. Recommended minimum investment period: More than five years. Subscribers concerned: Class P shares: All investors. Class I shares: Institutional investors. Class B shares: Reserved for Institutional Investors who have entered into a management agreement, or an agreement that is viewed as equivalent, with the management company or one of its affiliates. Class I NL EUR shares: Reserved for the Netherlands institutional investor sales network. Appropriation of earnings: Accumulation. Tax mode: Accumulation fund. Environmental, social and governance quality criteria: Pursuant to Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the Fund s investment process is independent from the criteria for compliance with social, environmental and governance quality objectives. Investment strategy: The fund manager uses the investment method or methods he considers best suited to attaining the investment objectives. The management strategy aims to use the pure physical tracking method, which consists of purchasing all the securities that make up the benchmark index in proportion to their respective weightings. The structure of the portfolio is therefore very close to that of the benchmark. In specifically defined circumstances, the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the index. As an index-based mutual fund, the Fund may make use of the exemptions specified by Article R of the French Monetary and Financial Code, relating to the investment limits in financial instruments of a single issuer. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in shares or debt securities of the same issuer, and this limit can be raised to 35% for a single issuer when it is deemed justified by exceptional market conditions, in particular on regulated markets in which certain securities or money market instruments are predominant. Depending on regulatory constraints or market constraints, the Fund may be required to use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio. Consequently, the Fund will generally only hold a subset of the securities included in the index. The portfolio is made up of at least 90% international securities from the community services sector. The portfolio may contain up to 10% of negotiable debt securities and money market instruments. The Fund invests up to 10% of its assets in shares or units of mutual funds. The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.

Indeed, within the regulatory limits, the Fund may deal in forward financial instruments that are traded on French and foreign regulated markets or on over-the-counter markets, especially index futures, up to a maximum of 10% of the assets. In all circumstances, the purpose of dealing in derivative instruments is to help ensure that the performance of the Fund is very similar to that of the benchmark index. The SICAV s portfolio may include units or shares of mutual funds managed by State Street or financial instruments in which the Group has a special interest. However, at the end of the financial year, this SICAV portfolio did not include any asset of this type.

Type of instruments used: - On a limited basis, listed derivative instruments, particularly futures contracts on equity indices or equity futures contracts. - On an exceptional basis, unlisted derivative instruments such as equity index swaps, share swaps, or listed or unlisted monetary, bond or interest rate derivative assets.

440 SSgA Utilities Index Equity Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report Risk profile: Your money will be invested primarily in financial instruments selected by the management company. These instruments will be exposed to market fluctuations and contingencies. Investors must be aware of the risks set out below. Furthermore, the following explanations do not represent a comprehensive list of all the risk factors associated with purchasing shares in the Fund, and investors are invited to make up their own minds about whether it is appropriate to invest. They are also encouraged to seek independent advice before buying any shares in the Fund. The Fund s risk profile is fundamentally identical to, or as close as possible to, that of the tracked index. The Fund is primarily exposed to equity market risks. As a result, its value can increase or decrease according to changes in the markets, and the investor may incur capital losses. Even if the general economic conditions do not change, the Fund's net asset value could decline if the industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests do not perform well or are negatively affected. In addition, there is the likelihood of the following specific risks: - There is no guarantee that the Fund s management objectives will be achieved. In practice, no asset or financial instrument allows the benchmark index to be automatically tracked. The changes made to the Fund s assets and the changing weightings of the benchmark index may bring about various transaction or friction costs. Furthermore, the total return generated by investments in the securities comprising the index shall be reduced because of certain costs and expenses that are not included in the calculation of the index. In addition, the Fund may not be able to fully replicate the performance of the index, in particular due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities comprising the index or exceptional circumstances that may distort the weightings of the index. Furthermore, in the event of a suspension or temporary interruption of the pricing of the securities comprising the index or in the event of market disruption, it may prove impossible to rebalance the portfolio of securities comprising the Fund for an unspecified period. The value of the Fund s shares and their income may increase or decrease to reflect changes in the value of the securities in which the Fund invests. - The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk. Some investments and/or types of investment are subject to restrictions when they are sold, may be traded on the over-the-counter market or in limited volumes, or may not benefit from an active trading market. Non-liquid investments may be traded at a lower price with respect to comparable investments that are more liquid, and may be subject to large fluctuations in their market value. It may be hard for the Fund to assign an exact value to illiquid securities. The Fund may also be unable to sell illiquid securities quickly, or sell them at the best time, or sell them at prices close to their value as determined by the Fund. Illiquid securities may also incur registration fees and other transaction fees that are higher than those that apply to liquid securities. - The Fund s investments are managed with the objective of matching the performance of the Benchmark Index. Consequently, the Fund is subject to a tracking error risk, which is the risk that the performance of the Fund s investments fails to match that of the benchmark index. Although the Fund aims to be fully invested at all times, it may from time to time have to hold a portion of its assets as cash. The capacity of the Fund to obtain a substantial correlation between the performance of the Fund and the Benchmark Index may be affected by changes in stock markets, changes in the composition of the Benchmark, cash inflows and outflows to and from the Fund, as well as applicable charges and commissions. The Fund will strive to track the performance of the Benchmark, regardless of the current or predicted performance of the Benchmark or of the securities that comprise it. In addition, the Fund will generally not sell a security included in the Benchmark for as long as that security is part of the Benchmark, notwithstanding any sudden or substantial drop, or any substantial foreseeable drop, in the value of the security, even if the asset management company is able to make a different investment decision for other mutual funds holding that security. The performance of the Fund may thus be less favourable than that of a portfolio managed using an active investment strategy. The structure and the composition of the Benchmark will affect its performance, volatility and risk (in absolute terms and in comparison to other indices) as well as the performance, volatility and risk of the Fund. - Investors must also be aware that the Fund will be exposed to a credit risk on the parties with which it deals and may, in addition, incur the risk of payment default. It is possible that (i) the ability of an issuer to honour its obligations substantially declines in periods in which the Fund holds securities of said issuer, (ii) said issuer defaults on its obligations, or (iii) an issuer s obligations on a security held by the Fund are limited or restructured. Any real or perceived degradation of an issuer s ability to honour its obligations will probably have a negative effect on the value of the issuer's securities and on the net asset value of the Fund. The rating assigned to an investment does not necessarily reflect the The annual report, as certified by the Statutory Auditor, will be available within eight weeks at the most from the financial year end (Article L of the French Monetary and Financial Code). SICAV shareholders and the general public may obtain a detailed inventory of its assets from the administrative head office of State Street Global Advisors France located at: Défense Plaza, rue Delarivière-Lefoullon, Paris La Défense Cedex, France.
441 SSgA Utilities Index Equity Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report current financial situation of the issuer or an evaluation of the volatility or liquidity of an investment. Even if "Investment grade" investments present a lower credit risk compared to lower-rated investments, they can present certain common risks, including the possibility that their issuers are not able to make on-time interest and principal payments and thereby default on payments. - Risk linked to securities lending: The Fund may participate in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company. When the Fund becomes involved in securities lending transactions, it becomes exposed to the counterparty s credit risk, because the borrower may be unable to meet its obligations under the loan, could become insolvent or could default or refuse to fulfil its obligations concerning the return of the loaned or equivalent securities. Should this happen, the Fund might be exposed to delays in the return of securities and suffer a capital loss. This could lead to a fall in the Fund s net asset value. The Fund may hedge its exposure to counterparty risk by requiring that the counterparty provide collateral in the form of securities such as shares or debt securities. In the event of a counterparty default and non-recovery of the securities corresponding to those loaned, the Fund may suffer a loss equal to the negative difference between the value of the securities received as collateral and the market value of the substitute securities. Such a negative difference can be explained by poor valuation of the assets received as collateral, unfavourable stock market fluctuations, lack of liquidity on the markets where the securities received as collateral are traded or a downgrading of the credit rating of the counterparty concerned. Participation in a securities lending programme implemented by State Street Bank and Trust Company might lead to less favourable financial results compared with another securities lending program available on the market or a situation in which the Fund lends its securities outside the programme. Pursuant to the provisions of the securities lending agreement in question, the designated lending agent may retain a portion of the income from the securities lending to cover the fees and costs linked to this securities lending activity, including the delivery of the loaned securities, management of guarantees and management of the compensation linked to the securities lending; all fees will be paid at normal commercial interest rates. - French and eurozone investors will be exposed to a currency exchange risk The Fund is exposed to currency risk via the acquisition of or exposure to securities denominated in a currency other than the Fund s base currency. Fluctuations in the values of these currencies against the Fund s base currency may have a positive or negative effect on the Fund s investments that are denominated in such currencies. Although it is not required to do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange contracts, or other currency-related transactions (including derivative transactions), in order to manage exposure to different currencies. These contracts (i) may reduce or eliminate all or part of the profit that the Fund may make as a result of favourable currency fluctuations and (ii) cannot guarantee to protect the Fund against unfavourable fluctuations. - The use of derivatives by the Fund may give rise to risks which differ from those associated with investments in financial securities and other more conventional investments. These risks include, among others, risks of illiquidity, valuation, volatility, market, credit, counterparty, leverage effect, management or other risks linked to commodities related to such products, as well as the risk of losing more than the initial investment. Risk of conflicts of interest: Companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company may offer services to the Fund, such as securities lending management services, custodian services, administration and registrar services, valuation or paying agent services. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and derivative transactions with companies affiliated to the Asset Management Company. The Fund may invest in mutual funds for which the Asset Management Company is the promotion agent or which are affiliated to it or are affiliated to any entity of the State Street group. In this case, the Fund will pay a proportional share of the fees of these underlying mutual funds. In addition, they can pay the fees to the Asset Management Company or its affiliated companies, which may have the effect of increasing the expenses paid by the Fund. There is no guarantee that the rates at which the Fund pays its fees and expenses to the Asset Management Company or to its affiliated companies, or the conditions under which it concludes transactions with entities of the State Street group, or under which it invests in the said mutual funds are the most favourable on the market in general or are as favourable as the rates that the entities in question propose to their clients. There will be no independent review of the fees or expenses paid to these entities nor of the services that they deliver. Due to its financial interest, the Asset Management Company may be encouraged to conclude transactions or make arrangements on behalf of the Fund with the affiliated companies under certain circumstances.

442 SSgA Utilities Index Equity Fund [ sub- f u n d o f t h e S I C A V S t a t e S t r e e t G l o b a l A d v i s o r s I n d e x F u n d s] 2015 Annual Report comprising an investment recommendation or divestment for a fund and might not make the same recommendation to all customers invested in the same fund or in similar funds. Other conflicts of interest may arise, for example, when clients of the Asset Management Company invest in different portions of the capital structure of an issuer, meaning that one or more clients hold senior bonds of an issuer while other clients hold subordinated bonds of the same issuer; this may also be the case when clients invest in different tranches of the same structured financial instrument. Under these circumstances, decisions to trigger a case of failure or relative to the terms of an arrangement may generate conflicts of interest. During investment decisions that may raise a conflict of interest, the Asset Management Company will endeavour to act fairly and justly, in accordance with its conflict of interest policy, towards the fund concerned and towards other customers. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the asset management company and its affiliated companies may invest their own assets and on behalf of clients in various senior securities, equal or lower or hold different or opposing interests to the securities held by the Fund and (ii) the asset management company may occasionally (subject to applicable law) simultaneously seek to buy (or sell) investments for the Fund and sell (or buy) the same investments for accounts, funds or structured products for which it acts as asset manager; during the period under consideration or in the future, or for its clients or affiliates, and may carry out crossed transactions under these circumstances. Furthermore, the asset management company and its affiliates may buy or sell fund securities, if allowed by the applicable law. These other relations may also cause the applicability of the restrictions provided by the law of financial securities to the Fund s transactions on these instruments and created potential conflicts of interest for the asset management company. The asset management company, as part of its other professional activities, may acquire material non-public confidential information that may prevent it from buying or selling the securities for itself or its clients (including the Fund) or from using such information for the benefit of its clients or for its own benefit. - The Fund is exposed to the risk that geopolitical events may disrupt the securities markets, and lead to a deterioration in global economies and markets. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events have resulted and may result in the future in increased short-term market volatility, and could have damaging long-term effects on the global economy and on markets in general. These events, as well as other changes in economic and political conditions, could also be harmful to individual issuers or groups of linked issuers, to securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiments, as well as to other factors affecting the value of the investment portfolio. The continuing uncertainty surrounding the euro and European Monetary Union ( EMU ) has led to significant volatility in currencies and in financial markets in general. Any partial or total unravelling of the EMU, or any persistent uncertainty regarding its status may have a significant detrimental effect on the money and financial markets, as well as on the value of the Fund s investments. Temporary sale of securities: During the financial year, the Fund loaned securities from its portfolio. The revenues resulting from temporary sales of securities are received in full by the Fund, minus any direct or indirect operating expenses generated by such transactions. Exposure obtained through effective portfolio management techniques: As at 31 December 2015 the position in loaned securities was US$0.00 with collateral worth US$0.00. Identity of the counterparty (parties) to these effective portfolio management techniques: The lending agent is State Street Bank GMBH. Type and amount of the financial guarantees received by the Fund in order to minimise its counterparty risk: At 31 December, the collateral was held according to the following ratio: 0.00% in equities admitted for official listing on an OECD country stock exchange. A list of eligible indices can be obtained upon request. 0.00% in Government securities issued by G10 countries with A- (S&P) A3 (Moody s) or higher long-term credit rating.
