Select Sector SPDR Funds

The Select Sector SPDR Trust consists of eleven separate investment portfolios (each a “Select Sector SPDR Fund” or a “Fund” and collectively the “Select Sector SPDR Funds” or the “Funds”).

Select Sector SPDR Funds are “index funds” that unbundle the benchmark S&P 500^®^† and give you ownership in particular sectors or groups of industries that are represented by a specified Select Sector Index. Through a single share, investors can buy or sell any of eleven major industry sectors that make up the S&P 500^®, in the same way as they would buy or sell a share of stock. Select Sector SPDR Fund shares are different from the shares of conventional mutual funds. Select Sector SPDR Funds trade on NYSE Arca, Inc.

Eleven Select Sector SPDR Funds

Shares are available for exchange trading in the following Funds of The Select Sector SPDR Trust:

The Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund	XLC
The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund	XLY
The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund	XLP
The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund	XLE
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund	XLF
The Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund	XLV
The Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund	XLI
The Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund	XLB
The Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund	XLRE
The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund	XLK
The Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund	XLU

Each of these Funds is designed to, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of a Select Sector Index. Each Fund’s portfolio is comprised principally of shares of constituent companies in the S&P 500^®. Each stock in the S&P 500^® is allocated to one Select Sector Index. The combined companies of the eleven Select Sector Indexes represent all of the companies in the S& P 500^®. Each Select Sector SPDR Fund can be expected to move up or down in value with its underlying Select Sector Index. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. Funds focused on a single sector generally experience greater price fluctuations than the overall stock market.

Objective

Select Sector SPDR Funds are designed to provide investors with an affordable way to invest in a portfolio of equity securities in a sector or group of industries in a single trade. Select Sector SPDR Funds allow you to tailor asset allocations to fit your particular investment needs or goals. One Fund may complement another; individual Select Sector SPDR Funds can be used to increase exposure to certain industries that may be outperforming the market or to hedge other holdings in your portfolio. Although an individual Select Sector SPDR Fund may bear a higher level of risk than a broad-market fund, because of less diversification, sector investments may also offer opportunities for returns greater than an investment in the entire constituents of the S&P 500^®.

You may obtain a current prospectus from the Distributor, ALPS Portfolio Solutions Distributor, Inc., by calling 1-866-SECTOR-ETF (1-866-732-8673). Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

THE SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

1. Organization

The Select Sector SPDR Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.

As of March 31, 2023, the Trust consists of eleven (11) series, each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.01 par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following series (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”):

The Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund

The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund

The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund

The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund

The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund

The Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund

The Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund

The Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund

The Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund

The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund

The Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund

Each Fund is classified as a non-diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. The Trust has entered into an Indemnification Agreement with each trustee who is not an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) (each, an “Independent Trustee”) providing for indemnification of the Independent Trustee by the Trust consistent with the foregoing and providing procedures for seeking and obtaining indemnification advancement of expenses. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

Security Valuation

Each Fund's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:

• Equity investments (including registered investment companies that are exchange-traded funds) traded on a recognized securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last published sale price or at fair value.

• Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment

Table of Contents

THE SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”) per share or unit.

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

In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that the application of these valuation methods results in a price for an investment that is deemed to be not representative of the fair value of such investment, fair value will be determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund's NAV and the prices used by the Funds' respective Select Sector Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund's performance and the performance of the Fund's respective Select Sector Index. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments.

The Funds value their assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;

• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The value of each Fund’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2023 is disclosed in each Fund’s respective Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition

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

Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, or when the information becomes available, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Funds may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains.

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

Expenses

Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Funds within the Trust.

Foreign Taxes

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with SSGA FM's understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of March 31, 2023, if any, are disclosed in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Equalization

The Funds follow the accounting practice known as “Equalization” by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring Fund shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of distributable net investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or reacquisition of Fund shares. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Distributions

Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times to improve Index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The amount and character of income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with applicable tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.

3. Derivative Financial Instruments

Futures Contracts

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

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

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates

Advisory and Administration Fee

The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSGA FM. For its advisory services to the Funds, each Fund pays the Adviser a fee accrued daily and paid monthly. The advisory fee is calculated based upon the average daily net assets of the Trust and allocated pro rata to each Select Sector SPDR Fund based on the relative net assets of each Fund. The advisory fee is a sliding scale fee calculated as follows: (i) 0.05% of average daily net assets of the Trust up to the first $12.5 billion of net assets; (ii) 0.04% of average daily net assets of the Trust up to the next $17.5 billion of net assets; (iii) 0.035% of average daily net assets of the Trust up to the next $20.0 billion of net assets; (iv) 0.03% of average daily net assets of the Trust up to the next $50.0 billion of net assets; (v) 0.0285% of average daily net assets of the Trust up to the next $50.0 billion of net assets; (vi) 0.0271% of average daily net assets of the Trust up to the next $50.0 billion of net assets; and (vii) 0.0256% of average daily net assets on the remainder of net assets of the Trust. From time to time, the Adviser may waive all or a portion of its fees.

The Trust has also entered into an Administration Agreement with SSGA FM to serve as each Fund's Administrator. For its administration services to the Funds, each Fund pays SSGA FM a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at a rate 0.0006% of its average daily net assets.

Unitary Fee

State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent to each Fund of the Trust. A “unitary” fee is paid by each Fund to State Street for custody, sub-administration and transfer agency services provided to the Funds. The unitary fee is calculated based upon the average daily net assets of the Trust and allocated pro rata to each Select Sector SPDR Fund based upon the relative net assets of each Fund. Effective January 1, 2018, the unitary fee structure was amended and is calculated as follows: (i) $0 - $50 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.015% of average daily net assets; (ii) over $50 billion - $75 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.0125% of average daily net assets; (iii) over $75 billion - $100 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.01% of average daily net assets; (iv) over $100 billion - $400 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.004% of average daily net assets; and (v) over $400 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.0025% of average daily net assets.

State Street is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation.

Other Transactions with Affiliates - Securities Lending

State Street, an affiliate of the Funds, acts as the securities lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to an amended and restated securities lending authorization agreement dated July 10, 2017, as amended.

Net proceeds collected by State Street on investment of cash collateral or any fee income less rebates payable to borrowers are paid as follows: If the calendar year to date net proceeds are below a specified threshold across participating affiliated funds, each Fund retains eighty five percent (85%) of the net proceeds and fifteen percent (15%) of such net proceeds is payable to State Street. Starting the business day following the date that calendar year to date net proceeds exceeds a specified threshold, each Fund retains ninety percent (90%) of the net proceeds and ten percent (10%) of such net proceeds is payable to State Street.

In addition, cash collateral from lending activities is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Portfolio II, an affiliated fund, for which SSGA FM serves as investment adviser. See Note 10 for additional information regarding securities lending.

Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Funds may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street Corporation, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Funds owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the period ended March 31, 2023, are disclosed in the Funds' respective Schedules of Investments.

Due to Custodian

In certain circumstances, the Funds may have cash overdrafts with the custodian due to expense payments, capital transactions, trading of securities, investment operations or derivative transactions. The Due to custodian amount, if any, reflects cash overdrawn with State Street, as custodian, who is an affiliate of the Funds.

5. Additional Expenses

Distributor

ALPS Portfolio Solutions Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”) serves as the distributor of the shares of each Fund. Pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan adopted by each Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, each Fund is authorized to pay fees, including fees to the Distributor, at an annualized rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Effective February 1, 2022, the Board limited each Fund's 12b-1 fee to an annual rate of 0.02% of its average daily net assets (prior to February 1, 2022, each applicable Fund's 12b-1 fee was limited to an annual rate of 0.03% of its average daily net assets). This limitation is in effect through at least January 31, 2024.

License Fees

S&P Opco, LLC, a subsidiary of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC and S&P Global (“S&P”), and NYSE Arca, Inc. (either directly or through affiliates) have entered into a license agreement with respect to each Fund's Select Sector Index. Effective January 1, 2022, each Fund pays an annual sub-license fee to S&P based on a percentage of its total expense ratio shown on the financial highlight for the most recent fiscal year. This rate is applied to the Fund’s average daily net assets. Future years’ sub-license fee rate will be based on a schedule of percentages applied to the most recent total expense ratio of a Fund shown in the, then, current annual report and applied to the average daily net assets of that Fund. Prior to January 1, 2022, the Trust paid an annual sub-license fee to S&P equal to 0.06% of the average aggregate net assets of all series of the Trust, subject to certain breakpoints. Each Fund paid its proportionate share of the annual sub-license fees based on the relative net assets of each Fund. Under each scenario, fees to S& P are generally paid quarterly.

6. Trustees’ Fees

The fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees and one interested, non-management trustee are paid directly by the Funds. The Independent Trustees and one interested, non-management trustee are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.

8. Shareholder Transactions

Each Fund issues and redeems its shares, at NAV, by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund may consist of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to the Trust and/or custodian, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Other Capital” on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

9. Income Tax Information

The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.

The Funds file federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. As of September 30, 2022, SSGA FM has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

10. Securities Lending

Each Fund may lend securities to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The value of the collateral with respect to a loaned security may be temporarily more or less than the value of a security due to market fluctuations of securities values. With respect to each loan, if on any U.S. business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are subject to the loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral on the next business day.

The Funds will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. In addition, a Fund will bear the risk of loss of any cash collateral that it may invest. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as the lending agent. Additionally, a Fund will receive a fee from the borrower for non-cash collateral equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities.

The market value of securities on loan as of March 31, 2023, and the value of the invested cash collateral are disclosed in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral is not disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Funds, and the Funds do not have the ability to re-hypothecate those securities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations, represents the income earned from the non-cash collateral and the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as lending agent.

11. Risks

Concentration Risk

As a result of the Funds' ability to invest a large percentage of their assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Funds' investments more than if the Funds were more broadly diversified.

Market Risk

A Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. A Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness, such as COVID-19, or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.

12. Change in Audit Firm

On February 9, 2023, upon recommendation by the Audit Committee of The Select Sector SPDR Trust (the “Trust”), the Board of Trustees of the Trust voted to replace Ernst & Young, LLP (“EY”) with Cohen & Company as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Trust for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023.

The reports of EY on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and in the subsequent interim period through February 9, 2023, there were no disagreements between the Trust and EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of EY, would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in its reports on the financial statements. In addition, during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and in the subsequent interim period through February 9, 2023, there were no reportable events of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Funds requested and EY furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not EY agreed with the above statements. A copy of such letter is filed as an Exhibit, under Item 13(a)(4), to Form N-CSR for the period ended March 31, 2023.

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and in the subsequent interim period through February 9, 2023, neither the Trust nor anyone on its behalf consulted Cohen & Company concerning (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Trust’s financial statements or (ii) the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of said Item 304).

13. Subsequent Events

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

Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from October 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023.

The table below illustrates your Fund’s cost in two ways:

Based on actual fund return ——This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from each Fund's actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in each Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

		Actual		Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses)
	Annualized Expense Ratio	Ending Account Value	Expenses Paid During Period(a)	Ending Account Value	Expenses Paid During Period(a)
The Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund	0.09%	$1,217.00	$0.50	$1,024.50	$0.45
The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund	0.09	1,055.80	0.46	1,024.50	0.45

The Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund	0.09	1,233.10	0.50	1,024.50	0.45
The Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund	0.09	1,199.30	0.49	1,024.50	0.45
The Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund	0.09	1,058.20	0.46	1,024.50	0.45
The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund	0.09	1,278.50	0.51	1,024.50	0.45
The Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund	0.09	1,050.80	0.46	1,024.50	0.45

(a)	Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio multiplied by the average account value of the period, multiplied by 182, then divided by 365.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a liquidity risk management program (the "Program"). The Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Fund. Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund.

SSGA FM has been designated by the Board to administer the Funds’ Program. Over the course of the prior year, SSGA FM provided the Board with a report addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and the effectiveness of the Program's implementation for the period from December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2022 including:

•	the Program supported each Fund’s ability to honor redemption requests timely;
•	the Program supported SSGA FM’s management of each Fund’s liquidity profile, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions;
•	no material liquidity issues were identified during the period;
•	there were no material changes to the Program during the period;
•	the implementation of the Program was effective to manage each Fund’s liquidity risk; and
•	the Program operated adequately during the period.

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