1. Description of the Trust
American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust (the Trust or the Collective Trust) was organized on August 8, 1991 under the American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust Declaration of Trust as amended and restated on December 5, 1991 and as amended thereafter. Since December 1, 2004, State Street Bank and Trust Company of New Hampshire (State Street or the Trustee) acts as trustee of the Collective Trust. The Trust is maintained exclusively for the collective investment of monies administered on behalf of participants in the ABA Retirement Funds Program (the Program). The Trust offers fifteen separate collective investment funds, including five Managed Funds, the Real Asset Return Fund, three Target Risk Funds and six Index Funds, and five Retirement Date Funds (collectively, the Funds). The Retirement Date Funds are a group of five balanced investment funds that invest in a series of State Street Global Advisors (SSgA) funds, each of which is designed to correspond to a particular time horizon to retirement. The Funds are investment options under the Program, which is sponsored by ABA Retirement Funds (formerly called the American Bar Retirement Association). Effective July 2, 2009, units of the Balanced Fund have ceased to be offered and thus the Balanced Fund is no longer an investment option under the Program, although certain assets held under the Program continue to be invested in the Balanced Fund. In addition, effective on or about July 6, 2009, the previously offered Large-Cap Value Equity Fund, Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund and Small-Cap Equity Fund were eliminated. The objectives and principal strategies of the Funds and the Balanced Fund are as follows:
Managed Funds
Bond Core Plus Fund (formerly Intermediate Bond Fund)invests primarily in debt securities of varying maturities, with an average portfolio duration of three to six years, with the objective of achieving a total return from current income and capital appreciation.
International All Cap Equity Fund (formerly International Equity Fund)long term growth of capital primarily through investment in common stocks and other equity securities of non-U.S. domiciled companies.
Large Cap Equity Fundlong term growth of capital and some dividend income through investment in common stocks and equity-type securities of large-capitalization companies with market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, of greater than $1 billion. Invests in common stocks and the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 1000 Index Securities Lending Series Fund, the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 1000 Index Securities Non Lending Series Fund and the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 1000 Index Securities Non Lending Fund, separate State Street Bank collective investment funds which invest in securities contained in the Russell 1000 Index. As of September 30, 2009, 17.2% of the Funds net assets were invested in the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 1000 Index Securities Lending Series Fund, 0.8% of the Funds net assets were invested in the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 1000 Index Securities Non Lending Series Fund and 0.5% of the Funds net assets were invested in the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 1000 Index Securities Non Lending Fund. These underlying funds annual financial statements are available from State Street Bank upon request.
Small-Mid Cap Equity Fundlong term growth of capital through investment in common stocks and equity-type securities of companies with market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, of between $100 million and $20 billion. Invests in common stocks and the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 2000 Index Securities Lending Series Fund and the State Street Bank and Trust Company MidCap 400 Index Non Lending Series Fund, separate State Street Bank collective investment funds which invest in securities contained in the Russell 2000 Index. As of September 30, 2009, less than 0.1% of the Funds net assets were invested in the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 2000 Index Securities Lending Series Fund and 1.9% of the Funds net assets were invested in the State Street Bank and Trust Company MidCap 400 Index Non Lending Series Fund. These funds annual financial statements are available from State Street Bank upon request.

Stable Asset Return Fund (SARF)current income consistent with preserving principal and maintaining liquidity. Currently, SARF invests all of its assets in the State Street Bank ABA Members/Pooled Stable Asset Fund Trust (SAFT), a separate State Street Bank collective investment fund which invests in investment contracts (Traditional Investment Contracts), Synthetic GICs, which represent individual high quality fixed income and asset-backed securities subject to benefit responsive wrap contracts issued by financial institutions, and collective investment funds maintained by State Street Bank that invest in high quality fixed income and asset backed securities. SAFT also invests a portion of its assets in the State Street Bank and Trust Company Short Term Investment Fund (STIF), a short-term income collective investment fund maintained by State Street Bank in order to maintain liquidity for SAFT (a so-called cash buffer, the Cash Buffer). The Stable Asset Return Fund is the only investor in SAFT, while retirement plans other than those adopted under the Program also invest in STIF. The annual financial statements of STIF and SAFT are available from State Street Bank upon request.
Real Asset Return Fund
Real Asset Return Fundprovide capital appreciation in excess of inflation as measured by the All Items Less Food and Energy Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the U.S. City Average, 1982-84 = 100, which we refer to as the Core Consumer Price Index or Core CPI (which excludes food and energy). The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of primarily Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, which we refer to as U.S. TIPS, commodity futures and real estate investment trusts, which we refer to as REITs.
Target Risk Funds
Target Risk Fundsprovide a series of balanced investment funds each of which is designed to correspond to a particular investment risk level. The three Target Risk Funds, designated as the Conservative Risk Fund, the Moderate Risk Fund and the Aggressive Risk Fund, offer three separate strategies, each with a distinct asset mix.
The Conservative Risk Fund invests in a combination of U.S. stocks, non-U.S. stocks, bonds and cash-equivalent investments, and allocates its assets among these investments according to a fixed strategic asset allocation strategy. The Conservative Risk Fund is the most conservative strategy among the Target Risk Funds. The Conservative Risk Fund is designed for investors who prefer lower volatility of returns and higher expected income.
The Moderate Risk Fund invests in a combination of U.S. stocks, non-U.S. stocks, bonds or cash-equivalent investments, and allocates its assets among these investments according to a fixed strategic asset allocation strategy. The Moderate Risk Fund is designed for investors who seek a combination of capital appreciation and income. This Fund is expected to have higher volatility of returns than the Conservative Risk Fund but less than the Aggressive Risk Fund.
The Aggressive Risk Fund invests in a combination of U.S. stocks, non-U.S. stocks, bonds or cash-equivalent investments, and allocates its assets among these investments according to a fixed strategic asset allocation strategy. The Aggressive Risk Fund is designed for investors who want to maximize growth and capital appreciation. This Fund is expected to have the highest volatility of returns among the Target Risk Funds.
Index Funds
Bond Index Fundreplication of the total return, after taking into account Fund expenses, of the U.S. investment-grade bond market represented by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Currently 100% of the Funds net assets are invested indirectly through the State Street Bank and Trust Company Passive Bond Market Index Non-Lending Series Fund, which is a collective investment fund maintained by State Street Bank. This underlying funds annual financial statements are available from State Street Bank upon request.

Currently invests 100% of the Funds net assets in the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 3000 Index Securities Lending Fund and the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 3000 Index Non-Lending Series Fund, separate State Street Bank collective investment funds which invest in securities contained in the Russell 3000 Index. As of September 30, 2009, 73.6% of the Funds net assets were invested in the Lending Fund and 26.4% were invested in the Non Lending Series Fund. These underlying funds annual financial statements are available from State Street Bank upon request.
Mid Cap Index Equity Fundreplication of the total return, after taking into account Fund expenses, the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index.

This underlying funds annual financial statements are available from State Street Bank upon request.
Small Cap Index Equity Fundreplication of the total return, after taking into account Fund expenses, the Russell 2000 Index.

This underlying funds annual financial statements are available from State Street Bank upon request.
Retirement Date Funds
Retirement Date Fundsseek to provide a series of balanced investment funds each of which is designed to correspond to a particular time horizon to retirement. The five Retirement Date Funds, designated as the Lifetime Income Retirement Date Fund, 2010 Retirement Date Fund, 2020 Retirement Date Fund, 2030 Retirement Date Fund and 2040 Retirement Date Fund, respectively, offer five separate target retirement date strategies. With the exception of the Lifetime Income Retirement Date Fund, which is designed for those currently retired, each Retirement Date Funds asset mix will, over time, become progressively more conservative as the specified target retirement date draws nearer.
The Retirement Date Funds utilize a broad range of asset classes and an annual rebalancing process to provide diversification of returns and risks consistent with the stated time horizon to retirement. Investment in each such asset class is obtained by investing in index strategies or other pooled strategies designed for low tracking error. Each of the Funds currently invests 100% of the Funds assets in two separate State Street Bank and Trust Company collective investment funds listed below.
Lifetime Income Retirement Date Fundinvests in the State Street Bank and Trust CompanySSgA Target Retirement Income Securities Lending Series Fund and the State Street Bank and Trust Company SSgA Target Retirement Income Securities Non Lending Series Fund. As of September 30, 2009, 74.6% of the Funds net assets were invested in the Lending Series Fund and 25.4% were invested in the Non Lending Series Fund.

Each of these underlying funds annual financial statements is available from State Street Bank upon request.
Balanced Fund
Balanced Fundcurrent income and long-term capital appreciation through investment in common stocks, other equity-type securities and debt securities. As of September 30, 2009, 38.2% and 61.8% of the Funds net assets were invested in the Bond Core Plus Fund and Large Cap Equity Fund, respectively. The Fund ceased offering its Units on July 2, 2009.
All the Funds and the Balanced Fund may invest in STIF or the State Street Bank and Trust Company Yield Enhanced Short-Term Investment Fund (YES), an enhanced short-term income collective investment fund maintained by State Street Bank. The annual financial statements of STIF and YES are available from State Street Bank upon request.
Funds in the Trust that participate directly in securities lending and the Balanced Fund may have cash collateral invested in the State Street Quality D Short-Term Investment Fund (Quality D). State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the trustee for Quality D. For purposes of daily admissions and redemptions, the short-term portfolio instruments in Quality D are currently valued on the basis of amortized cost, as provided for in the Declaration of Trust of Quality D. Participant units in Quality D are issued and redeemed on each business day (valuation date). Participant units in Quality D are currently purchased and redeemed at a constant net asset value of $1.00 per unit for normal course transactions, such as new loans and returns of borrowed securities and adjustments upon the mark to market of securities on loan. In the event that a significant disparity develops between the constant net asset value and the market-based net asset value of Quality D, the trustee of Quality D may in its discretion determine that special circumstances exist and continued redemption at a constant $1.00 net asset value would create inequitable results for the Quality D unitholders. In these circumstances, the trustee of Quality D, in its sole discretion and acting in a manner it deems appropriate and fair on behalf of all of the Quality D unitholders, may direct that units be redeemed for all transactions or certain transactions at the market-based net asset value, engage in in-kind redemptions, or take other action to avoid inequitable results to unitholders until such time as the disparity between the market-based and the constant net asset value per unit is deemed to be immaterial.
The trustee for Quality D has informed the Trust that a disparity between the constant or amortized cost net asset value and the net asset value based on fair market value has existed during the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and is primarily attributable to unrealized losses on longer duration instruments stemming from a lack of liquidity in the secondary market rather than from any impairment to the underlying assets. The
103

(Unaudited)
trustee of Quality D continues to believe that these longer duration instruments will mature at par and that selling these assets in the short term would result in significant realized losses that would not be in the best interest of all unitholders Quality D. Accordingly, the trustee for Quality D has applied withdrawal safeguards. In order to maintain long term value for all unitholders in Quality D, any unit holder in Quality D, including the Funds and the Balanced Fund, that expressly or otherwise effectively terminates its participation in the securities lending program would, on redemption, receive an in-kind pro rata share of the securities held by Quality D. The trustee of Quality D continues, however, to transact normal daily activity, such as new loans, loan returns, plan participant-directed transactions and daily marks to market, at $1.00. The financial statements of Quality D are available from State Street Bank upon request.
State Street Bank collective investment funds, in which the Funds and the Balanced Fund invest, may participate in securities lending and may invest their cash collateral in State Street Bank Quality Trust Fund (Quality Trust), a fund that operates in a manner similar to Quality D (collectively with Quality D, the Cash Collateral Funds). This fund also has experienced a discrepancy between constant asset values and net asset values based on fair market values of these securities for the same reasons as described above, and also has imposed withdrawal safeguards for participants terminating participation in the securities lending program although the trustee of Quality Trust currently permits limited monthly withdrawals by investors in Quality Trust. The financial statements of Quality Trust are available from State Street Bank upon request.
Although the level of redemptions in connection with plan activity is being monitored by the Trustee, as to the Funds, and State Street Bank, as to the Cash Collateral Funds, no plan withdrawal decisions initiated by a plan sponsor have been limited by the Funds through November 16, 2009. If the level of redemption activity, either through participant activity or plan activity, were to materially increase in the future, the Trustee, as to the Funds, and State Street Bank, as to the Cash Collateral Funds, retain the right to impose limitations on such activity.
The Cash Collateral Funds per unit net asset values, and the net asset value of the Funds and the Balanced Fund investing in Cash Collateral Funds, reflected in the financial statements are based on United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and differ from the per unit net asset values calculated for purpose of transactions experienced by participants in their accounts. The difference is driven by the GAAP valuation of the securities lending Cash Collateral Funds (See Note 6). Such difference in valuation as of September 30, 2009 has narrowed from the difference in valuation as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, reflecting higher GAAP valuations of the Cash Collateral Funds on September 30, 2009.
The Trust may offer and sell an unlimited number of units representing interests in separate Funds of the Trust, each unit to be offered and sold at the per unit net asset value of the corresponding Fund.
State Street offers and administers the investment options for the Program available under the Collective Trust.
State Street is a non-depository trust company established under the laws of the State of New Hampshire and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Bank. State Street has assumed responsibility for administering the Collective Trust and providing investment options for the Program. State Street Bank is a trust company established under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation and a holding company registered under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.
State Street has delegated to State Street Bank the responsibility to provide certain services to the Collective Trust on behalf of State Street. In addition, State Street Bank is the primary custodian and, based on instructions from ING Institutional Plan Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (ING Services), as discussed below, effects investment and transfer transactions and distributes all benefits provided by the plans to the participants or, in the case of some individually designed plans, to the trustees of such plans. State Street Bank was, through April 30, 2009, responsible for certain recordkeeping and administrative services required by the Program. Effective May 1, 2009, ING Services or an affiliate thereof, provides recordkeeping, communication, marketing and administration services to the Program. ING Services is responsible for the maintenance of individual account records or accrued benefit information for participants whose employers choose to have the Programs administrator maintain those account records. ING Services also provides certain account and investment information to employers and participants, manages the receipt of all plan contributions, forwards investment and transaction instructions to the appropriate parties and forwards instructions relating to distribution of benefits provided by the plans.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and certain financial data have been prepared in conformity with GAAP.
A. Security Valuation
The Collective Trust follows authoritative accounting guidance that governs the application of GAAP that require fair value measurements of the Funds and Balanced Funds assets and liabilities. Fair value is an estimate of the price a Fund would receive upon selling a security in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the security.
All Funds (Other than SARF) and the Balanced Fund: State Street has delegated to State Street Bank the responsibility to determine the value of each Fund and the Balanced Fund based on the market value of each Funds and the Balanced Funds portfolio of securities. State Street Bank generally values each Funds and the Balanced Funds portfolio of securities based on closing market prices or readily available market quotations. When closing market prices or market quotations are not readily available or are considered by State Street Bank to be unreliable, the fair value of the particular securities or assets is determined in good faith by State Street pursuant to procedures adopted by State Street. For market prices and quotations, as well as some fair value methods of pricing, State Street Bank and State Street may rely upon securities prices provided by pricing services, the persons or entities State Street has retained to assist it in the exercise of its investment responsibility with respect to the Funds and the Balanced Fund (the Investment Advisors) or independent dealers.
When State Street Bank determines that the closing market price on the primary exchange where the security is traded is not readily available or no longer accurately reflects the value of the security at the time of calculation of the Funds or Balanced Funds net asset value, State Street endeavors to value the security at the amount the owner might reasonably expect to receive upon the securitys current sale. In so doing, management considers all factors it deems appropriate, including, if relevant, external factors such as general market developments and news events.
With respect to non-U.S. securities, if a significant event has occurred between the closing of the foreign exchange or market on which such securities trade and the calculation of net asset value, a valuation adjustment may be appropriate. Specifically, under appropriate circumstances, State Street will utilize a fair value model for the International All Cap Equity Fund to make fair value adjustments to the prices of non-U.S. securities based on movements in the U.S. markets after the close of foreign markets. If a significant event occurs other than general movements in the U.S. markets, State Street Bank will determine whether that event might affect the value of the non-U.S. securities and whether, if so, the securities should be valued in accordance with State Streets fair value procedures.
Unless believed no longer to accurately reflect value or to be reliable, foreign securities not traded directly or in the form of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) in the United States are valued in the local currency at the last sale price on the applicable exchange on which such securities trade and such values are converted into the U.S. dollar equivalent at current exchange rates.
Other securities may be priced using a pricing matrix to determine the value of fixed income securities that do not trade daily. A pricing matrix is a means of valuing a debt security on the basis of current market prices for other debt securities and historical trading patterns in the market for fixed income securities. To the extent that a Fund or the Balanced Fund invests in the shares of bank collective trust funds or of other registered open-end investment companies that are not traded on an exchange (mutual funds), such shares are valued at their net asset values per share as reported by the funds. Exchange traded funds that were used during the realignment of the investment options under the Program on or about July 6, 2009 were priced based on readily available closing market prices. Each of these funds uses fair value pricing in determining their net asset values.

United States Treasury securities and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities are valued at representative quoted prices provided by a vendor.
Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from brokers or market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded.
The short-term portfolio instruments of YES and STIF are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates fair value, unless otherwise determined by the trustee of such fund. Amortized cost involves valuing an instrument initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates or changes in the creditworthiness of the issuer of the instrument on the market value of the instrument.
The Funds and the Balanced Fund follow a three-tier hierarchy based on the use of observable market data and unobservable inputs to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about uncertainty, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model, and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds and Balanced Funds investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels as follows:
| Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
| Level 2 other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in valuing a portfolio instrument. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others in active markets and markets that are not active |
| Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The Fund or Balanced Fund may record changes to valuations based on the amount that it might reasonably be expected to receive for a security upon its current sale consistent with the fair value measurement objective. Each determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to the type of the security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the securitys disposition, the price of comparable securities, quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the companys financial statements, an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold, and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination, and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value realized upon sale of those investments.

B. Stable Asset Return Fund
SARF invests in SAFT, whose investments include insurance company, bank and financial institution investment contracts, high quality short-term income securities and investments in STIF, the State Street Bank and Trust Company Mortgage Backed Securities Lending Fund and the State Street Bank and Trust Company Mortgage Backed Securities Non-Lending Fund. SAFT has entered into a global fully benefit responsive investment contract with four different financial institutions which are so called synthetic investment contracts described below. On a daily basis SARF accrues dividend income based on the income credited by SAFT. SARF does not distribute income and any increase to the net assets is reflected by an increase to the unit value. Each month the dividend income earned by SARF is reinvested into SAFT. As a result of its investment in SAFT, SARF is subject to the specialized accounting provisions described below. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities presents the fair value of the investment contracts held by SAFT with a separate adjustment to contract value. The Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets were prepared on a contract value basis. Because SARF is fully invested in SAFT, we are providing the following accounting policies of SAFT:
i. Basis of Accounting
Investments held by an investment company are reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets of an investment company attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the underlying defined-contribution plans. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets were prepared on a contract value basis.
ii. Value of Investments
Investments in bank, insurance company and other financial institution investment contracts (GICs) are stated at contract value. An investment contract is generally permitted to be valued at contract value, rather than fair value, to the extent it is fully benefit-responsive and held by a trust offered only to qualified employer-sponsored defined-contribution plans. An investment contract is considered fully benefit responsive if: 1) it is effected directly between SAFT and the issuer and may not be transferred

(Unaudited)
without the consent of the issuer, 2) either the repayment of principal and interest is a financial obligation of the issuer (i.e., for traditional investment contracts) or the issuer of a wrap contract provides assurance that the contract crediting rate will not be adjusted to less than zero (i.e., for synthetic investment contracts), 3) the contract requires all permitted participant-initiated transactions with the trust to occur at contract value without limitation, 4) it is improbable that an event will occur that would limit the ability of SAFT to transact at contract value with both the issuer and unitholders of SAFT, and 5) SAFT allows unitholders reasonable access to their funds. Investment contracts that do not meet the criteria for valuation at contract value will be valued at fair value as determined by the Trustee, and such value may be more or less than contract value.
The fair value of traditional GICs is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology where the individual contract cash flows are discounted at the prevailing interpolated swap rate as of period-end.
A traditional GIC is a group annuity contract that pays a specified rate of return for a specific period of time and guarantees a fixed return after any benefit responsive payments are made to participants. The issuer of a traditional GIC takes a deposit from SAFT and purchases investments that are held in the issuers general account. The GIC issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the fund.
Synthetic investment contracts represent individual high quality fixed income and asset-backed securities subject to benefit responsive wrap contracts issued by financial institutions. Individual assets of the synthetic investment contract are generally valued at representative quoted market prices. Short-term securities, if any, are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Debt securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service approved by the Trustee, which determines valuations using methods based on market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Investments in registered investment companies or collective investment funds are valued at the net asset value per share/unit on the valuation date. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not appropriate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustee or its agent. The fair value of the wrap contracts is determined using the market approach discounting methodology which incorporates the difference between current market level rates for contract level wrap fees and the wrap fee being charged. The difference is calculated as a dollar value and discounted by the prevailing interpolated swap rate as of period end.
SAFT may invest in guaranteed investment contracts (Traditional GIC or GICs), bank investment contracts and/or a wrapped portfolio of fixed income instruments (Synthetic Investment Contracts or Synthetic GICs). Collectively, these contracts are referred to as investment contracts.
A bank investment contract is an investment contract issued by a bank, with features (other than annuity provisions) comparable to a GIC.
A synthetic GIC is a wrap contract paired with an underlying investment or investments, usually a portfolio of high-quality, intermediate term fixed income securities. Events disqualifying an underlying investment include but are not limited to bankruptcy of the security issuer or default or restricted liquidity of the security. The portfolio is owned by SAFT. SAFT purchases a wrap contract from an insurance company, bank or other financial services institution. The portfolio, coupled with the wrap contract, attempts to replicate the characteristics of a traditional GIC.
Synthetic GICs generally require a Cash Buffer of a certain level to be maintained in order to provide liquidity for the stable value fund. The wrap contracts in place as of September 30, 2009 held by SAFT require a Cash Buffer of a minimum of 20% of the net asset value of SAFT. At September 30, 2009, the Cash Buffer was 28% of such net assets.
A synthetic GIC attempts to protect principal and accumulated interest and credits a stated interest rate for a specified period of time (e.g. monthly or quarterly). Under the terms of the wrap contracts, assets subject to synthetic GICs are credited at a rate (the Crediting Rate) agreed to with the issuer of the benefit

(Unaudited)
responsive contract (which rate is adjusted periodically, but not below zero, to reflect the performance of the underlying securities of the synthetic GIC) for purposes of permitting the contract to be benefit responsive. Investment gains and losses are amortized over the expected duration through the calculation of the applicable Crediting Rate to SAFT on a prospective basis. The Crediting Rate is primarily based on the current yield-to-maturity of the covered investments, plus or minus amortization of the difference between the market value and contract value of the covered investments over the duration of the covered investments at the time of computation. The Crediting Rate is most impacted by the change in the annual effective yield to maturity of the underlying securities, but is also affected by the differential between the contract value and the market value of the covered investments. This difference is amortized over the duration of the covered investments. Depending on the change in duration from each reset period, the magnitude of the impact to the Crediting Rate of the contract to market difference is heightened or lessened. The Crediting Rate can be adjusted periodically and is usually adjusted either monthly or quarterly, but in no event is the Crediting Rate less than zero. The Crediting Rate may be impacted, among other things, by volatility and illiquidity in the fixed-income securities market. If the market value of the underlying investments held by SAFT as a whole is lower than their contract value, the Crediting Rate may be lower than the return on the underlying investments. Significant additional contributions from participants may in certain cases increase market value attributed to the underlying investments and increase the Crediting Rate and SAFTs return. Redemptions may have an opposite effect, where if SAFT experiences significant redemptions when the market value is below the contract value, SAFTs return and Crediting Rate may be reduced to zero.
iii. Events Limiting Contract Value Treatment
Investment contracts are valued at contract value principally because participants are able to transact at contract value when initiating benefit responsive withdrawals, taking loans or making investment option transfers permitted by the participating plan. A benefit responsive withdrawal includes a payment to a participant arising from retirement, termination of employment, disability or death. In the normal course, participant events are predictive (for participants as a group) such that the economic integrity of investment contracts is largely unaffected by participant withdrawals.
Employer initiated events, if material, may affect the underlying economics of investment contracts. These events include plant closings, layoffs, plan termination, bankruptcy or reorganization, merger, early retirement incentive programs, tax disqualification of a trust or other events. The occurrence of one or more employer initiated events could limit SAFTs ability to transact at contract value with plan participants.
For example, retirement benefit payments which occur because an employer has offered a subsidized early retirement program will not transact at contract value unless the scope of the program is not material or the investment contract includes a contract value corridor. Whether an employer initiated event is probable is foremost within the knowledge of the employer, but in the normal course may be communicated to the investment manager of SAFT. While the investment manager may take action to minimize or eliminate the impact of the employer initiated event, there is no assurance that the issuer will continue to transact at contract value once the corridor is used. In that case, SAFT would be unable to maintain the ability to transact at contract value. As of September 30, 2009, the occurrence of an event that would limit the ability of SAFT to transact at contract value with the participants in SAFT is not probable.
iv. Termination Events by the Issuer
Investment contracts generally impose conditions on both SAFT and the issuer. Assuming conditions are met and neither SAFT nor the issuer is in default, SAFT can buy and sell covered investments and process withdrawals through the sale of covered investments in accordance with SAFTs liquidity hierarchy.
If an event of default, within the meaning of an investment contract, occurs and is not cured, the non-defaulting party may terminate the contract. The following (among other events) may cause SAFT to be in default: a breach of material obligation under the contract; a material misrepresentation; a material
115

(Unaudited)
amendment to the trust agreement, in the administration of the trust or in the investment of fund assets without consent from the issuer; and an uncured violation of SAFTs Investment Guidelines.
The issuer may be in default if it breaches a material obligation under the investment contract; makes a material misrepresentation; has a decline in its long term credit rating below a threshold set forth in the contract; is acquired or reorganized and the successor issuer does not satisfy the investment or credit guidelines applicable to issuers. If, in the event of default of an issuer, SAFT were unable to obtain a replacement investment contract, withdrawing plans may experience losses if the value of SAFT assets no longer covered by the contract is below contract value. SAFT may seek to add additional issuers over time to diversify SAFTs exposure to such risk, but there is no assurance that SAFT will be able to do so. The combination of the default of an issuer and an inability to obtain a replacement agreement could render SAFT unable to achieve its objective of maintaining a stable contract value.
The terms of an investment contract generally provide for settlement of payments only upon termination of the contract or total liquidation of the covered investments. Generally, payments under a global wrap will be made pro-rata, based on the percentage of investments covered by each issuer. Contract termination occurs whenever the contract value or market value of the covered investments reaches zero or upon certain events of default. If the contract terminates due to issuer default (other than a default occurring because of a decline in its rating), the issuer will generally be required to pay to SAFT the excess, if any, of contract value over market value on the date of termination. If a synthetic GIC terminates due to a decline in the ratings of the issuer, the issuer may be required to pay to SAFT the cost of acquiring a replacement contract (i.e. replacement cost) within the meaning of the contract. If the contract terminates when the market value equals zero, the issuer will pay the excess of contract value over market value to SAFT to the extent necessary for SAFT to satisfy outstanding contract value withdrawal requests. Contract termination also may occur by either party upon election and notice.
At any time after the second anniversary of the contract, the issuer may elect to terminate the contract by giving notice to the trustee. If, at any time prior to dates agreed to in each contract for the receipt of such notice, the trustee objects to such election, the trustee shall be deemed to have made an immunization election and the immunization provisions of the contract apply. The immunization provision gives the issuer the right to request that its wrapped portion of SAFT be managed according to more conservative immunization investment guidelines provided for in the contract.
Effective January 2009, Bank of America announced it will not be accepting any new participant cash flows into the global wrap contracts, unless otherwise determined by Bank of America which the Trust believes it has not done as of this date. The other three wrap contract providers have taken the same action as Bank of America. In addition, UBS AG, Stamford Branch (UBS), one of the wrap providers, had previously advised State Street Bank that it was planning to terminate its wrap contract effective as of October 26, 2009, subject to providing certain wrap protection during a wind-down period to be determined by State Street Bank and the wrap provider. UBS has delayed issuing its notice of termination but is likely to issue such notice in the future. At the discretion of State Street, net new participant cash flows will be invested in traditional GICs or in the Cash Buffer on a going forward basis, although the trustee continues to seek to identify additional and replacement wrap providers.
v. Investment Transactions and income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Income from investment contracts is recorded at the contract rate, which in the case of synthetic investment contracts is referred to as the crediting rate. Crediting rates on synthetic contacts are net of fees to the issuer of the wrap contract (wrap fees) and custody fees on underlying assets. For fully benefit-responsive synthetic investment contracts, earnings on the underlying assets are factored into the next computation of the crediting rate re-set. Interest income is accrued and reinvested daily. Reinvested units are issued to unitholders on a pro-rata basis.

vi. Issuances and Redemptions of SAFT Units
Issuances and redemptions of participant units are made on each business day (valuation date). Participant units are typically purchased and redeemed at a constant net asset value of $1.00 per unit. In the event that a significant disparity develops between the constant net asset value and the market-based net asset value of SAFT, the trustee may determine that continued redemption at a constant $1.00 net asset value would create inequitable results for SAFTs unitholders. In these circumstances, the trustee, in its sole discretion and acting on behalf of SAFTs unitholders, may direct that units be redeemed at the market-based net asset value until such time as the disparity between the market-based and the constant net asset value per unit is deemed to be immaterial.
vii. Industry Concentration of Investments
SAFT maintains investment contracts issued by insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions as required by its Declaration of Trust. The issuing institutions ability to meet their contractual obligations under the respective contracts may be affected by future economic and regulatory developments in the insurance and banking industries, respectively.
viii. Adjustments to Contract Value
At September 30, 2009, all investment contracts held by SAFT were deemed fully benefit-responsive. The change in the difference between the fair value and contract value of SAFTs fully benefit-responsive investment contracts during 2009 is reflected below:

C. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date on which the order to buy or sell is executed). Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is increased by accretion of discount and reduced by amortization of premium. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of the identified cost of securities delivered. Distributions received from collective investment funds, if any, retain the character as earned by the underlying funds.
A Funds portfolio of investments may include securities purchased on a when-issued basis, which may be settled in the month after the issue date. Interest income is not accrued until the settlement date.
Certain collective investment funds and registered investment companies in which the Funds invest may retain investment income and net realized gains. Accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses reported by a Fund or the Balanced Fund may include a component attributable to investment income of the underlying funds.
All securities lending income earned by the Funds is credited on a cash basis generally in the month following the month in which it is earned due to the immateriality of the amounts. This method is applied to the income both from the Funds and Balanced Fund lending securities directly and from collective investment funds in which certain Funds and Balanced Fund are invested and which lend a portion of their securities.

D. Foreign Currency Transactions
The accounting records of the Funds and the Balanced Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period-end. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
Reported net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities and derivatives (other than foreign currency contracts) are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in securities.
Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are included as increases and decreases in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency related transactions.
E. Income Taxes
The Trust has received a favorable determination letter dated March 9, 1992 from the Internal Revenue Service, which concluded that the Trust is a trust arrangement described in Rev. Rul. 81-100, 1981, C.B. 326 (subsequently modified by Rev. Rul. 2004-67, 2004-28 I.R.B. 28) and exempt from Federal income tax pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.
Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Collective Trust is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement which could result in the Collective Trust recording a tax liability that would reduce net assets. Management determined that no uncertainties would have a material impact on the Collective Trusts financial statements. Authoritative accounting guidance establishes financial accounting and disclosure requirements for recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a U.S. income tax return. However, managements conclusions regarding tax liabilities may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further guidance and on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
F. Sales and Redemptions of Units of Participation and Distributions
The units offered represent interests in the Funds established under the Trust. The Trust may offer and sell an unlimited number of units. Each unit will be offered and sold daily at the offering Funds net asset value. The Trust ceased offering units of the Balanced Fund on July 2, 2009 although assets held under the Program and invested therein through July 1, 2009 may continue to remain invested therein.
Pursuant to the Trusts Declaration of Trust, the Funds and the Balanced Fund are not required to distribute their net investment income or gains from the sale of portfolio investments.
G. TBA Commitments and Roll Transactions
The Balanced Fund and Bond Core Plus Fund may enter into TBA (to be announced) commitments to purchase securities for a fixed unit price at a future date beyond customary settlement time. Although the
119
Table of Contents

Notes to Financial StatementsContinued
(Unaudited)
unit price for a TBA has been established, the principal value has not been finalized. However, the amount of the TBA commitment will not fluctuate more than 1.0% from the principal amount. These Funds hold, and maintain until the settlement date, cash or liquid securities in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. TBA commitments may be considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date, and such risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of these Funds other assets. These contracts also present a risk from the potential inability of counterparties to meet their contractual obligations. During the period prior to settlement, these Funds will not be entitled to accrue interest and/or receive principal payments on the securities to be purchased. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under Security Valuation above. These Funds may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if the Fund deems it appropriate to do so. Upon settlement date, these Funds may take delivery of the securities or defer (roll) the delivery to the next month.
H. Futures Contracts
The Bond Core Plus Fund may use, on a limited basis, futures contracts to manage exposure to the bond market, and as a substitute for acquiring market positions in securities comparable to those held by the Fund (with respect to the portion of its portfolio that is held in cash items). Buying futures tends to increase a funds exposure to the underlying instrument. Selling futures tends to decrease a funds exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge other investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, credit and market risks.
The Fund enters into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade where the exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to the transaction. Thus, credit risk on such transactions is limited to the failure of the exchange or board of trade. Losses in value may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or from illiquidity in the secondary market for the contracts. In addition, there is the risk that there may not be an exact correlation between a futures contract and the underlying index.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either in cash or securities an amount (initial margin) equal to a certain percentage of the nominal value of the contract. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund periodically, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the underlying securities, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. A gain or loss is realized when the contract is closed or expires
At September 30, 2009, the Bond Core Plus Fund held the following futures contracts:

I. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Bond Core Plus Fund and the International All Cap Equity Fund may use forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities or as a hedge against the foreign currency exposure of either specific transactions or portfolio positions. When entering into a forward foreign currency contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon future date. Such contracts are valued based upon the difference in the forward exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded in the Funds financial statements. The Fund records realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is extinguished by entry into a closing transaction or by delivery of the currency. Risks in foreign currency contracts arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the contracts terms and from movements in currency values. As of September 30, 2009, the Bond Core Plus Fund held the following forward foreign currency contracts:

J. Interest Rate Swap Contracts
The Bond Core Plus Fund may invest in swap contracts. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Fund uses interest rate swap contracts to manage its exposure to interest rates. Interest rate swap contracts typically represent the exchange of commitments to make variable rate and fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Swap contracts typically have a term of one to ten years, but typically require periodic interim settlement in cash, at which time the specified variable interest rate is reset for the next settlement period. During the period that the swap contract is open, the contract is marked-to-market as the net amount due to or from the Fund in accordance with the terms of the contract based on the closing level of the interest accrual through valuation date. Changes in the value of swap contracts are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. Periodic cash settlements on interest rate swaps are recorded as adjustments to realized gains or losses. Up-front payments are recorded to realized gains or losses upon termination of the swap contract.

(Unaudited)
Entering into a swap contract involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Notional principal amounts are used to express the extent of involvement in the transactions, but are not delivered under the contracts. Accordingly, credit risk is limited to any amounts receivable from the counterparty. To reduce credit risk from potential counterparty default, the Fund enters into swap contracts with counterparties whose creditworthiness has been approved by the investment advisor to the Fund. The Fund bears the market risk arising from any change in interest rates. Based on market fluctuation cash collateral may be exchanged between the parties to decrease the amount of counterparty default risk.
At September 30, 2009, the Bond Core Plus Fund held the following interest rate swap contracts:

K. Option and Swaption Contracts
The Bond Core Plus Fund may purchase or write option contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or hedge the fair value of other Fund investments. The premium paid by the Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is included in the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. If an option which the Fund has purchased expires on its stipulated expiration date, the Fund realizes a loss for the amount of the cost of the option. If the Fund enters into a closing transaction, it realizes a gain or loss, depending on whether the proceeds from the sale are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Fund exercises a put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid.
The premium received by the Fund for a written option is recorded as a liability. The liability is marked-to-market based on the options quoted daily settlement price. When an option expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a written call option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which the Fund is obligated to purchase.
The Bond Core Plus Fund may also purchase or write swaption contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or hedge the fair value of other Fund investments. Swaption contracts entered into by the Fund typically represent an option that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to
122

Notes to Financial StatementsContinued
(Unaudited)
enter into a swap contract on a future date. If a call swaption is exercised, the purchaser will enter into a swap to receive the fixed rate and pay a floating rate in exchange. Exercising a put would entitle the purchaser to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate.
Swaption contracts are marked-to-market at the net amount due to or from the Fund in accordance with the terms of the contract based on the closing level of the relevant market rate of interest. Changes in the value of the swaption are reported as unrealized gains or losses. Gain or loss is recognized when the swaption contract expires or is closed. When the Fund writes a swaption, the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the swaption written. Premiums received from writing swaptions that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase, as a realized loss.
Entering into option and swaption contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. To reduce credit risk from potential counterparty default, the Fund enters into these contracts with counterparties whose creditworthiness has been approved by the advisor. The Fund bears the market risk arising from any change in index values or interest rates.
A summary of the written put options for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 is as follows:

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, the Fund had not written any call options or entered into any swaption contracts.
L. Additional Derivative Disclosure
Authoritative accounting guidance requires additional disclosures about derivative and hedging activities and derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments must be disclosed separately from derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. The information below in addition to the preceding notes reflects the requirement.
The Bond Core Plus Fund has entered into futures contracts to adjust interest rate exposures and to replicate bond positions. A futures contract frequently offers the opportunity to outperform securities due to cheapness of futures contracts and active management of the liquid, short duration securities backing the futures. The Bond Core Plus Fund uses futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the
123

(Unaudited)
counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with its futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (variation margin) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The Bond Core Plus Fund has entered into foreign currency contracts. The Fund may enter into these contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of a Funds securities or as a part of an investment strategy. A foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar. In connection with these contracts, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective contracts.
The Bond Core Plus Fund has entered into interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swaps provide the Fund with an effective and usually less expensive means to adjust quickly portfolio duration, maturity mix and sector exposure. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest with respect to the notional amount of principal. Swap agreements are privately negotiated agreements between the Fund and counterparty. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed reliable, certain swap agreements may be valued pursuant to guidelines established by the Trustee. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments made or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Derivative Market and Credit Risk
In the normal course of business the Bond Core Plus Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk).
Similar to credit risk, the Bond Core Plus Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Bond Core Plus Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the financial
124

(Unaudited)
statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Bond Core Plus Fund to credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments.
The investment advisor seeks to minimize credit risks to the Bond Core Plus Fund by performing extensive reviews of each counterparty and obtains approval from the investment advisors counterparty risk committee prior to entering into transactions with a third party. All transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery using approved counterparties. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made once the Bond Core Plus Fund has received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.
The Bond Core Plus Fund restricts its exposure to credit losses by entering into master agreements with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions to include certain safeguards for derivatives and non-standard settlement trades. The credit risk associated with favorable contracts is reduced by master netting arrangements so that if an event of default occurs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated and settled on a net basis. The Bond Core Plus Funds overall exposure to credit risk on derivative instruments subject to master netting arrangements can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.
The Bond Core Plus Fund is party to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (ISDA Master Agreements) with select counterparties that govern transactions, over-the-counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts, entered into by the Bond Core Plus Fund with those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements.
The considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain purchases and sales made on a delayed-delivery basis are governed by Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (Master Forward Agreements) between the Bond Core Plus Fund and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral. Cash collateral provided, and received by, the Bond Core Plus Fund for each type of derivative contract at September 30, 2009 is presented as Deposit with broker or Due to broker, respectively, on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
At September 30, 2009, the Bond Core Plus Fund had the following derivatives (not designated as hedges) grouped into appropriate risk categories that illustrate how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments:

M. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America 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.
N. Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and that may contain general indemnifications. The Trusts maximum exposure under these provisions is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. The Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
3. Investment Advisory, Investment Management and Related Party Transactions
State Street has retained the services of the investment advisors listed below to advise it with respect to its investment responsibility and has allocated the assets of certain of the Funds among the investment advisors. Each investment advisor recommends to State Street investments and reinvestments of the assets allocated to it in accordance with the investment policies of the applicable Fund as described above. State Street exercises discretion with respect to the selection and retention of the investment advisors and may remove, upon consultation with ABA Retirement Funds, an investment advisor at any time.
A fee is paid to each investment advisor for certain of the Funds based on the value of the assets allocated to that investment advisor and the respective breakpoints agreed to in the advisors contract. These fees are accrued on a daily basis and paid monthly or quarterly from the allocated assets. Actual fees paid to each investment advisor during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 are listed below.

A separate program fee (Program fee) is paid to each of the Program recordkeeper and ABA Retirement Funds. These fees are allocated to each Fund and the Balanced Fund based on net asset value and are accrued daily and paid monthly from the assets of the Funds and the Balanced Fund. (During the period from January 1, 2009 to April 30, 2009 in which State Street Bank served as recordkeeper, State Street did not receive any fees or payments in respect of expenses from the Collective Trust. Rather, State Street was entitled to payment for services from State Street Bank.)

For the period from May 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009, the Program fee paid to ING Services was $6,853,324.
An additional one-time program expense fee of $125,000 was charged to the Program during the third quarter relating to expenses incurred by ING Services in connection with the changes to the fund line-up that occurred in July 2009.
This Program fee is accrued daily and paid monthly based on the aggregate assets of the Funds and the Balanced Fund as of the last Business Day of the preceding month. The Funds bear their respective portions of this Program fee pro rata based on their respective net asset values as of the time of calculation thereof. This Program fee attributable to the Balanced Fund is accrued and paid from the Bond Fund Core Plus Fund and the Large Cap Equity Fund in which the Balance Fund invests. The Program Services Agreement contains certain service standards applicable to the performance of recordkeeping services by ING Services and imposes penalties that reduce the Program fee if these service standards are not met. No service penalties were imposed for this period.
Prior to May 1, 2009, the Collective Trust paid a Program fee to State Street Bank based on the aggregate assets of the Funds and the Balanced Fund at the following annual rate (excluding one-time project fees):

For the period from January 1, 2009 through April 30, 2009, the Program fee paid to State Street Bank was $3,588,754. The prior agreement between ABA Retirement Funds and State Street Bank for such services had service standards similar to those contained in the Program Services Agreement and imposed similar penalties for failure to meet these standards. No service penalties were imposed for this period.
A one-time additional program expense fee of $150,000 was charged to the Program on February 2, 2009 relating to expenses incurred by State Street in connection with the establishment of five new Index Funds in early 2009.
Benefit payments under the Program generally are made by check. Within two business days before the check becomes payable, funds for the payment of benefits are transferred to a non-interest bearing account with State Street Bank. No separate fee is charged for benefit payments; rather, State Street Bank retains any earnings attributable to outstanding benefit checks, and these earnings have been taken into account in setting State Street Banks fees under the Program.

5. Risks Associated with Investments of the Trust
The Funds and the Balanced Fund to the extent invested in the equity markets are subject to a variety of market and financial risks. Common stocks, the most familiar type of equity security, represent an equity (ownership) interest in a corporation. Although common stocks and other equity securities have a history of long-term growth in value, their prices may fluctuate dramatically in the short term in response to changes in market conditions, interest rates and other company, political and economic developments. In addition, investments in non-U.S. securities, including emerging markets equities, and in small capitalization and mid-capitalization equity securities, involve special risks. For instance, smaller companies may be impacted by economic conditions more severely. Foreign securities risks include less investor protections, government failure or nationalization of businesses, exchange rate risk and exchange restrictions, poorly developed financial reporting requirements, broker/dealer regulation, or foreign government taxation, financial markets or legal systems. Certain Funds, in addition to the more general risks associated with equity investing, are subject to the more particular risks associated with investing in value stocks or growth stocks, as different types of stocks tend to shift into and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions. The value of the Funds and the Balanced Fund to the extent so invested in the equity markets will fluctuate, and the holders of units in the Funds and the Balanced Fund should be able to tolerate changes, sometimes sudden or substantial, in the value of their investment.
The Funds and the Balanced Fund, to the extent invested in fixed income securities, including all lending through collateral holdings, are subject to the risks associated with investing in such instruments. Fixed-income securities such as bonds are issued to evidence loans that investors make to corporations and governments, either foreign or domestic. If prevailing interest rates fall, the market value of fixed-income securities that trade on a yield basis tends to rise. On the other hand, if prevailing interest rates rise, the market value of fixed-income securities generally will fall. In general, the shorter the maturity, the lower the yield but the greater the price stability. These factors may have an effect on the value of the Funds and the Balanced Fund. A change in the level of interest rates will tend to cause the net asset value of the Fund or the Balanced Fund to change. If such interest rate changes are sustained over time, the yield of the Funds or the Balanced Fund will fluctuate accordingly.
Fixed-income securities, including corporate bonds, also are subject to credit risk. When a security is purchased, its anticipated yield depends on the timely payment by the borrower of each interest and principal installment. Credit analysis and bond ratings take into account the relative likelihood that such timely payment will result. Bonds with a lower credit rating tend to have higher yields than bonds of similar maturity with a better credit rating. However, to the extent the Funds or the Balanced Fund invest in
134

Notes to Financial StatementsContinued
(Unaudited)
securities with medium or lower credit qualities, they are subject to a higher level of credit risk than investments in investment-grade securities. The credit quality of non investment-grade securities is considered speculative by recognized ratings agencies with respect to the issuers continuing ability to pay interest and principal. Lower-grade securities may have less liquidity and a higher incidence of default than higher-grade securities. Furthermore, as economic, political and business developments unfold, lower-quality bonds, which possess lower levels of protection with respect to timely payment, usually exhibit more price fluctuation than do higher-quality bonds of like maturity and the value of the Funds and the Balanced Fund will reflect this volatility. Moreover, the Funds and the Balanced Fund rely to a significant extent on ratings issued by one or more nationally recognized credit rating agencies to assess the credit quality of securities in which they propose to invest. There may be limitations on the quality of such ratings. For instance, certain asset backed securities such as subprime CMOs and securities backed by bond insurance that initially received relatively high ratings were, in connection with the credit markets turbulence, subsequently significantly downgraded. There is a risk of loss associated with securities even if initially highly rated, particularly in the case of collateralized debt obligations and other structured-finance investments that are often of relatively higher complexity.
Recent events in both the equity and fixed income markets and in particular the financial sector have resulted in an unusually high degree of volatility in the market, the Funds and the Balanced Fund. Fixed income markets have also experienced an unusually high degree of illiquidity which has adversely affected the Funds and the Balanced Fund to the extent invested in fixed income securities. The Collective Trusts investment in the financial sector has attributed to the volatility of the Funds and the Balanced Fund.
6. Securities Lending Income
The Funds and the Balanced Fund are authorized to participate in the Securities Lending Program administered by State Street Bank, under which securities held by the Funds and the Balanced Fund are loaned by State Street Bank, as the Funds and the Balanced Funds lending agent, to certain brokers and other financial institutions (the Borrowers). The Borrowers provide cash, securities or letters of credit as collateral against loans in an amount at least equal to 100% of the fair value of the loaned securities. The Borrowers are required to maintain the collateral at not less than 100% of the fair value of the loaned securities. Cash collateral is invested in the State Street Quality D Short-Term Investment Fund.
The Funds and the Balanced Fund are subject to the risks associated with the lending of securities, including the risks associated with defaults by the borrowers of such securities and the credit, liquidity and other risks arising out of the investment of cash collateral received from the borrowers.
Certain Funds and the Balanced Fund also invest in collective investment funds which lend a portion of their securities to qualified Borrowers under identical collateral requirements described above.
A portion of the income generated upon investment of cash collateral is remitted to the Borrowers, and the remainder is allocated between the Fund or the Balanced Fund lending the securities and State Street Bank in its capacity as lending agent.
At September 30, 2009, the Funds fair value of securities on loan and collateral value received at amortized cost and fair value for securities loaned was as follows:
Collateral Received | ||||||
Fund |
Fair Value of Loaned Securities |
Amortized Cost |

As discussed in Note 1, units of Quality D continue to be issued and redeemed at a constant $1.00 net asset value per unit; however, certain limitations on withdrawals would apply to redemptions in connection with discontinuing participation in the lending program. At September 30, 2009, the market value of the investments in Quality D, as reported by its trustee, was approximately 97.66% of amortized cost. Furthermore, as reported by the trustee as of September 30, 2009, all investments in Quality D were performing in accordance with their respective terms. The accompanying financial statements of the Funds and the Balanced Fund have valued their direct and indirect investments in the Cash Collateral Funds at their fair values, and have recognized unrealized losses. However, the Funds and the Balanced Fund have continued to value their investments in the Cash Collateral Funds for purposes of Participant transactions at the amortized cost based values used by the Cash Collateral Funds for daily transactions.
* | Collateral Received-Fair Value includes non-cash collateral State Street Bank received in lieu of cash for securities on loan. The Funds and the Balanced Fund receive a fee from the Borrowers to compensate for the revenue lost from the inability to generate income from the investment of cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can be held in the form of securities issued or guaranteed by the United States Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, non-convertible bonds denominated in US dollars, irrevocable bank letters of credit issued by a person other than the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower, or tri-party agreements backed by securities issued or guaranteed by the United States government or its agencies. The value of non-cash collateral held at September 30, 2009 was as follows: |
Fund |
Non-Cash Collateral Value | ||
Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund |
$ | 398,370 |
Non-cash collateral received for securities on loan is held in a segregated account by the lending agent. The Funds and the Balanced Fund are not entitled to any income from the securities. Should the borrowers fail to meet their obligations under the lending agreement, the Funds or the Balanced Fund would take possession of the securities.
7. Participant Ownership
As of September 30, 2009, the following Funds had participants owning greater than 5% of the outstanding Units of a Fund. One participant owned 13.15% of the outstanding Units of the Real Asset Return Fund. Two participants owned 7.85% and 7.99% respectively, of the outstanding Units of the Conservative Risk Fund. Three participants owned 5.10%, 8.40% and 6.76% respectively, of the outstanding Units of the Moderate Risk Fund. Two participants owned 10.39% and 7.27% respectively, of the outstanding Units of the Aggressive Risk Fund. One participant owned 6.10% of the outstanding Units of the Small Cap Index Equity Fund. In addition one participant owned 5.63% of the outstanding Units of the Lifetime Income Retirement Date Fund and one participant owned 6.06% of the outstanding Units of the 2010 Retirement Date Fund.
8. Changes to the Program
The following is a summary of the changes that were made to the Funds offered under the Program. These changes took effect on or about July 6, 2009.
| The Large-Cap Value Equity Fund and Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund were terminated and instead the Program offers a new Large Cap Equity Fund, a multi-manager fund with a new line-up of Investment Advisors; |

| The Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund and Small-Cap Equity Fund were terminated and instead the Program offers a new Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund, a multi-manager fund with a new line-up of Investment Advisors; |
| The International Equity Fund changed its name to the International All Cap Equity Fund with a new line-up of Investment Advisors; |
| The Balanced Fund ceased offering its Units (although assets held under the Program and invested therein through July 1, 2009 continue to remain invested therein), and investment of the equity portion of the Balanced Fund has been changed to the new Large Cap Equity Fund above. Effective with the change to investing in the Large Cap Equity Fund, there are no longer any fees charged directly to the Balance Fund as the fees are charged to the Large Cap Equity Fund and the Bond Core Plus Fund into which the Balance Fund invests; |
| In lieu of offering the Balanced Fund, the Program offers a series of three new Target Risk Funds: the Conservative Risk Fund, the Moderate Risk Fund and the Aggressive Risk Fund, each of which reflects a specified level of investment risk; and |
| The Program offers a new Real Asset Return Fund. |
Additionally, two Funds were renamed, as follows:
Previous Name |
New Name | |
Intermediate Bond Fund |
Bond Core Plus Fund | |
Index Equity Fund |
All Cap Index Equity Fund |
Participants invested in any of the funds being terminated were given at least 30 days advance written notice of the expected date of termination, and such Participants were given an opportunity to direct the transfer of their assets so invested into other investment options available under the Program prior to such termination. Any assets not subject to a valid timely direction to be transferred to another investment option and hence remained in the terminated funds were transferred, in the case of the Large-Cap Value Equity Fund and the Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund, to the Large Cap Equity Fund, and, in the case of the Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund, the Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund and the Small-Cap Equity Fund, to the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund.
9. Subsequent Event
In November 2009, State Street made a voluntary payment of $71.57 to the Bond Core Plus Fund, $3,835.28 to the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund, and $121,311.62 to the International All Cap Equity Fund associated with certain foreign exchange transactions that were effected with such Funds by affiliates of State Street at the erroneous direction of an investment advisor to each of the Funds.
10. Review for Subsequent Events
Management has reviewed events and transactions through November 16, 2009, the date the financial statements were available to be issued for subsequent events requiring recognition and disclosure in these financial statements. Management has determined that other than there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds financial statements through this date other than that described in Note 9 above.

Item 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
Quarter and Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2009
Stable Asset Return Fund
The Stable Asset Return Fund seeks to provide current income consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity. The Fund does not make any direct investments, but invests all of its assets indirectly through the State Street Bank and Trust Company ABA Members/Pooled Stable Asset Fund Trust, which we refer to as SAFT, a collective investment fund maintained by State Street Bank and Trust Company, which we refer to as State Street Bank. SAFT in turn invests in investment contracts, which we refer to as Traditional Investment Contracts, so called Synthetic GICs, which represent individual high-quality fixed-income and asset-backed instruments subject to benefit responsive wrap contracts, and collective investment funds maintained by State Street Bank that invest in high-quality fixed income and asset-backed securities. SAFT also invests a portion of its assets in the State Street Bank and Trust Company Short-Term Investment Fund, which we refer to as STIF, a short-term income collective investment fund maintained by State Street Bank. STIF also invests in high-quality short-term fixed income and asset-backed instruments.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Stable Asset Return Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 0.43%. By comparison, a combination of the Ryan Labs Three Year GIC Index and the iMoneyNet MFR Prime Institutional Money Market Fund Average, weighted 70%/30%, respectively, produced an investment record of 0.77% for the same period. Further, to account for reductions in the Funds yield due to uncertainties in the Synthetic GIC market and an emphasis on increased credit quality, the combination benchmark less 0.5% per year, on an annualized basis, produced an investment record of 0.64% for the same period. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 1.56%, compared to an investment record of 2.49% for the combination benchmark and 2.11% for the combination benchmark less 0.5% per year, on an annualized basis, for the same period. The Ryan Labs Three Year GIC Index portion of the combination benchmark does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the instruments that comprise that Index or for fund expenses.
The Stable Asset Return Fund underperformed the combination benchmark for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Funds investments were primarily focused on segments of the market such as U.S. Treasuries, agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities that have a high degree of support from the U.S. Government. These types of investments have a higher credit quality but lower yield than Traditional Investment Contracts and other fixed income securities. As a result, the relative return of the Fund was lower than that of the Index. These lower yielding U.S. Government supported investments were employed to provide a higher degree of stability for the market value of the underlying investments supporting the wrap contracts valued at book value. The market to book value ratio of these investments continues to improve and was over 101% as of September 30, 2009.
The Stable Asset Return Fund underperformed the combination benchmark for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The underperformance can be attributed to the more conservative positioning of the portfolio that began in the fourth quarter of 2008 and was maintained throughout the period ended September 30, 2009. The lower yielding investments were employed to provide a relatively higher degree of stability for the market to book value ratio that indicates the value of the underlying investments.
Bond Core Plus Fund
The Bond Core Plus Fund, formerly named the Intermediate Bond Fund, seeks to achieve a total return from current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Bond Core Plus Fund, which is advised with the assistance of Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 5.06%. By comparison, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (f/k/a the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index) produced an investment record of 3.74% for the same period. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 9.50%, compared to an investment record of 5.72% for the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the same period. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise the Index or for fund expenses.

Table of Contents
The Bond Core Plus Fund outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The portfolios emphasis on attractively priced high quality assets, especially those with government support, was beneficial for relative performance. An overweight position to duration during much of the period added to relative performance, as U.S. Treasury yields fell. An investment strategy based on an expectation for the interest rate curve to steepen detracted from relative performance. Money market futures in the U.S., continental Europe and the U.K., which were used to implement the strategy, gained as central banks indicated that short maturity rates would remain low longer than markets had expected. An overweight position to agency mortgage pass-through securities for part of the quarter helped relative returns as valuations of these bonds benefitted from continued purchases by the Federal Reserve. A modest exposure to Brazilian interest rates detracted from relative performance as those rates rose, although exposure to Brazils currency mitigated the impact.
The Bond Core Plus Fund outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. An overweight position to agency mortgage pass-through securities helped relative returns as valuations of the securities benefited from continued purchases by the Federal Reserve. An overweight position to bonds of financial companies also contributed to the portfolios relative performance as the bonds continued to outperform the broader corporate market on a year-to-date basis. Holdings of high quality consumer asset-backed bonds and non-agency mortgage pass-through securities also helped relative performance.
For the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the Bond Core Plus Fund participated in the State Street Bank securities lending program as described in Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements. For the reasons described under Effect on Performance of Certain Funds that Participate in Securities Lending, the financial statement-reported performance of the Bond Core Plus Fund was positively impacted by 0.28 percentage point in the quarter ended September 30, 2009 as a result of such participation. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the financial statement-reported performance of the Bond Core Plus Fund was positively impacted by 0.13 percentage point as a result of such participation. As discussed below under Effect on Performance of Certain Funds that Participate in Securities Lending, actual returns experienced by Participants in the Fund based on net asset values for transaction purposes do not reflect the impact of any unrealized gains or losses in the cash collateral funds associated with the State Street Bank securities lending program.
Large Cap Equity Fund
The Large Cap Equity Fund seeks to outperform, over extended periods of time, broad measures of the U.S. stock market. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks and other equity-type securities of larger-capitalization companies with market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, of greater than $1 billion. A portion of the Fund (currently approximately 20%) is invested to replicate the Russell 1000 Index, which is comprised of the approximately 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000 Index. The remainder of the Fund is actively managed.
The Large Cap Equity Fund uses a multi-manager approach whereby the Funds assets are allocated to one or more Investment Advisors, in percentages determined at the discretion of State Street Bank and Trust Company of New Hampshire, which we refer to as State Street, subject to consultation with The Northern Trust Company, which we refer to as Northern Trust. Each Investment Advisor acts independently from the others and uses its own distinct investment style in selecting securities. Each Investment Advisor must operate within the constraints of the Funds investment objective, strategies and restrictions and subject to the general supervision of State Street. The performance of each Investment Advisor may be measured in the context of its own investment style.
For the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the Large Cap Equity Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 13.30%. By comparison, the Russell 1000 Index produced an investment record of 15.52% for the same period. The Russell 1000 Index does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise that Index or for fund expenses. As discussed below under Effect of Transition on Performance of Certain Funds, the Fund return in this period was negatively affected by transition-related costs as well as the adverse market impact on the day of the transition.

For the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the portion of the Large Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Jennison Associates LLC (approximately 38% as of September 30, 2009) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index, against which this portion of the Fund is compared. The portfolios strong stock selection in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors were among the largest contributors to relative performance. An overweight position in the information technology sector also contributed to positive absolute and relative returns. Positions in the energy, materials, and industrials sectors of the Russell 1000 Growth Index lagged the strong returns of the market.
For the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the portion of the Large Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of C.S. McKee, L.P. (approximately 43% as of September 30, 2009) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, but underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, against which this portion of the Fund is compared. The portfolio lagged the Index in a low-quality rally. The most significant detractor from performance was a relative underweight to the financial sector, which was approximately 25% that of the Index. The portfolio benefited from an underweight position in the telecommunications sector and an overweight position in the industrials sector of the Index.
For the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the performance of the indexed portion of the Large Cap Equity Fund was consistent with the Russell 1000 Index after taking into account expenses and the effect of participation in securities lending.
For the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the Large Cap Equity Fund participated in the State Street Bank securities lending program as described in Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements. For the reasons described under Effect on Performance of Certain Funds that Participate in Securities Lending, the financial statement-reported performance of the Large Cap Equity Fund was negatively impacted by 0.57 percentage point for the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009 as a result of such participation. As discussed below under Effect on Performance of Certain Funds that Participate in Securities Lending, actual returns experienced by Participants in the Fund based on net asset values for transaction purposes do not reflect the impact of any unrealized gains or losses in the cash collateral funds associated with the State Street Bank securities lending program.
Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund
The Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund seeks to outperform, over extended periods of time, broad measures of the U.S. stock market. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks and other equity-type securities of companies with market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, of between $100 million and $20 billion. A portion of the Fund (currently approximately 5%) is invested to replicate the Russell 2000 Index, which is comprised of the approximately 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index. The remainder of the Fund is actively managed.
The Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund uses a multi-manager approach whereby the Funds assets are allocated to one or more Investment Advisors, in percentages determined at the discretion of State Street, subject to consultation with Northern Trust. Each Investment Advisor acts independently from the others and uses its own distinct investment style in selecting securities. Each Investment Advisor must operate within the constraints of the Funds investment objective, strategies and restrictions and subject to the general supervision of State Street. The performance of each Investment Advisor may be measured in the context of its own investment style.
For the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 15.09%. By comparison, the Russell 2500 Index produced an investment record of 18.50% for the same period. The Russell 2500 Index does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise that Index or for fund expenses. As discussed below under Effect of Transition on Performance of Certain Funds, the Fund return in this period was negatively affected by transition-related costs as well as the adverse market impact on the day of the transition.

Table of Contents
For the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the portion of the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of LSV Asset Management (approximately 15% as of September 30, 2009) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, but underperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index, against which this portion of the Fund is compared. An underweight to REITs and overweight to the healthcare sector detracted from performance as against the Index. Stock selection detracted, particularly in the consumer discretionary and financial sectors of the Index. The portfolio had an underweight position in lower quality stocks, which continued to do well in the period given the rise in share prices generally in the market since March of this year.
For the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the portion of the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Systematic Financial Management, L.P. (approximately 15% as of September 30, 2009) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, but underperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index, against which this portion of the Fund is compared. The portfolios focus on companies believed to have a combination of attractive valuations and a positive earnings catalyst detracted from relative performance in August and September, as deep value and contrarian stocks returned to favor. The underperformance was due to a lack of exposure to the best performing stocks in the Index which as a group did not have characteristics commensurate with the portfolios investment approach.
For the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the portion of the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Frontier Capital Management Co. LLC (approximately 10% as of September 30, 2009) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index, against which this portion of the Fund is compared. Relative performance was notably hindered by performance in the producer durables and healthcare sectors. The performance of the portfolio, which is positioned for secular growth, was negatively impacted by fluctuations in the most cyclical of areas of the market, specifically the industrial and materials sectors. In addition, the portfolio was underexposed to capital intensive equipment stocks as against the Index, which stocks fell initially due to concerns in the funding ability of hospitals but subsequently rebounded with an easing in credit concerns.
For the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the portion of the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of TCW Investment Management Company (approximately 10% as of September 30, 2009) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as outperformed the Index, against which this portion of the Fund is compared. The portfolio outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index during the period primarily due to strong stock selection in the healthcare, information technology and telecommunication services sectors and positive allocation in the energy sector. Partially offsetting positive relative performance was negative stock selection in the financials, consumer discretionary, energy and industrials sectors.
For the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the portion of the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of OFI Institutional Asset Management, Inc. (approximately 14% as of September 30, 2009) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index, against which this portion of the Fund is compared. The industrials and materials sectors were the best performing sectors for the portfolio during the period, where stock selection added to the return relative to the Russell 2000 Value Index. Further, an overweight in the materials sector contributed to relative performance. Stock selection within consumer discretionary sector detracted from relative performance during the period.
For the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the portion of the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Denver Investment Advisors LLC (d/b/a Denver Investments) (approximately 15% as of September 30, 2009) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index, against which this portion of the Fund is compared. The interest-rate sensitive, technology and capital goods sectors provided the greatest contribution to relative performance during the period. The cyclical, basic materials and healthcare sectors proved most challenging during the period. Furthermore, a focus on dividend-paying stocks was a detractor, as non-dividend paying stocks outperformed.
For the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the portion of the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Riverbridge Partners (approximately 10% as of September 30, 2009) negatively contributed to the performance of the Fund, but outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index, against which this portion of the Fund is compared. The portfolio benefitted from stock selection in the healthcare sector during the period. Additionally, an overweight in the information technology sector helped to boost the portfolios relative performance. Detracting from relative performance were stock selection in the industrials sector and an underweight in the consumer discretionary sector which experienced relatively strong performance.

The portfolio outperformed the Index as stock selection continued to drive relative returns. Holdings in the energy sector were the portfolios strongest performers. Holdings in semiconductor capital equipment companies also contributed to relative performance.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the International All Cap Equity Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 16.01%. By comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International All-Country World Ex-U.S. Index, which we refer to as the MSCI ACWI ex-US Index, produced an investment record of 19.69% for the same period. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 31.67%, compared to an investment record of 36.35% for the MSCI ACWI ex-US Index for the same period.

Prior to July 6, 2009, State Street retained JPMorgan Asset Management (UK) Limited, which we refer to as JPMAM, to be an Investment Advisor for approximately half of the assets in the Fund, and Philadelphia International Advisors, L.P., which we refer to as PIA, to serve as Investment Advisor for the other half of the assets in the Fund. State Street determined the portion of the International All Cap Equity Funds assets for which advice was obtained from each Investment Advisor. Effective July 6, 2009, the Fund began to utilize a multi-manager approach whereby the Funds assets are allocated to one or more Investment Advisors, in percentages determined at the discretion of State Street, subject to consultation with Northern Trust. Each Investment Advisor acts independently from the others and uses its own distinct investment style in selecting securities. Each Investment Advisor must operate within the constraints of the Funds investment objective, strategies and restrictions and subject to the general supervision of State Street. The performance of each Investment Advisor may be measured in the context of its own investment style. The performance of the portions of the Fund previously managed by JPMAM and PIA are included in the performance of each of the portions of the Fund advised by the new Investment Advisors and in the portion invested by State Street in the State Street Bank securities lending program for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.

For the period from July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the portion of the International All Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Altrinsic Global Advisors, LLC (approximately 39% as of September 30, 2009) negatively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as underperformed the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Value ND Index, against which this portion of the Fund is compared. The primary detractors from relative performance were underweight exposure to the European financials sector and lack of highly leveraged businesses in the portfolio which experienced positive relative performance during the period. Positively contributing to relative performance were holdings in the consumer staples, materials, and telecommunications services sectors of the Index.
For the period from July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the portion of the International All Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Eagle Global Advisors LLC (approximately 21% as of September 30, 2009) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as outperformed the MSCI EAFE Growth ND Index, against which this portion of the Fund is compared. The portfolios overweight position to financials and telecommunication services contributed to relative performance, while the portfolios underweight position to the materials and information technology sector negatively impacted relative performance. Being underweight to the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors helped relative performance. Relative performance was also aided by good stock selection in the industrial and telecommunication services sectors. Additionally, the portfolio benefited from being underweight to Japan relative to the Index, the lowest performing developed market during the period. However, the portfolio was negatively impacted by being underweight Australia, the best performing developed market during the period. The portfolio was also negatively impacted by style headwinds because the value outperformed growth style during the period and small capitalization stocks outperformed large capitalization stocks.
For the period from July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the portion of the International All Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Martin Currie Inc. (approximately 20% as of September 30, 2009) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as outperformed the MSCI EAFE Growth ND Index, against which this portion of the Fund is compared. One of the top performing holdings was Kazakhmys, a leading copper miner. Holdings in the financials sector, including Banco Santander, HSBC, Société Générale and Zurich Financial Group, were also key positive contributors. Although the portfolio was underweight in Japan relative to the Index, four of the five biggest detractors from the portfolios relative returns were Japanese holdings.
For the period from July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the portion of the International All Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of First State Investments International Limited (approximately 17% as of September 30, 2009) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, but underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets ND Index, against which this portion of the Fund is compared. Not holding Brazilian stocks Vale (Materials) and Petrobras (Energy) was particularly negative as both rallied strongly on rising commodity prices and expectations of a global recovery. Positions in Chunghwa Telecom (Taiwan: Telecom Services) and Grupo Modelo (Mexico: Consumer Staples) lagged as investors switched out of companies with more predictable earnings growth for those geared into cyclical recovery. The portfolio also suffered from zero weightings in financial stocks Itau Unibanco (Brazil) and Sberbank (Russia) as they rallied strongly on easing global credit conditions.
For the period from January 1, 2009 to July 1, 2009, the portion of the International All Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of JPMAM outperformed the MSCI ACWI ex-US Index. The financials and telecoms sectors were the largest contributors to relative performance while the technology and industrials sectors detracted. Regionally, stock selection in the U.K. and Japan was strong but stock selection in continental Europe, the Pacific region (excluding Japan) and emerging markets lagged the Index. Holdings in the Brazilian oil/gas company Petrobras was a major contributor to relative performance. In contrast, holdings in the global banking group HSBC detracted from relative performance.
For the period from January 1, 2009 to July 1, 2009, the portion of the International All Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of PIA outperformed the MSCI ACWI ex-US Index. The outperformance was due to solid stock picking in the consumer and utility sectors and within the U.K. and Germany. Regionally, stock selection in continental Europe and the U.K. was particularly strong while the portfolios underweight position in the emerging markets sector detracted from relative returns.

termination on July 1, 2009. Strong stock selection was the primary contributor to relative outperformance, but sector weighting also helped relative results. The information technology sector was the top contributor to relative performance. Stock selection in communications equipment, computers and peripherals, and semiconductors and semiconductor equipment industries drove sector outperformance. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector and stock selection and an overweight position in the financials sector were also contributors to relative performance. One minor detractor from relative performance during the period was stock selection in the telecommunication services sector, which had a slight negative impact on performance.

The portfolios bottom-up investment approach produced strong relative results for the period from January 1, 2009 to termination on July 1, 2009, with outperformance in nine of the ten broad market sectors. Performance from holdings in the information technology sector contributed to results relative to the Index, led by the portfolios overweight positions in RF Micro Devices and Wright Express. Shares of RF Micro Devices, a designer and manufacturer of radio frequency components and compound semiconductors, rose during the period. Wright Express, a payment processor for commercial and government vehicle fleets, also appreciated during the period. Within the healthcare sector, the portfolios overweight to Inverness Medical and Cougar Biotechnology contributed to relative performance. Inverness Medical provides products that help in disease diagnosis and monitoring, and performed relatively well during the period from January 1, 2009 to termination on July 1, 2009. Shares of Cougar Biotechnology, a development-stage biopharmaceutical company, rose after Johnson & Johnson announced it would acquire the company. Holdings in the consumer discretionary sector detracted from relative results. The portfolios overweight position to weak performer Orbitz Worldwide hurt relative results as global economic weakness led to declining travel and vacation trends.

During this period, the benchmark outperformed the portfolio due to a rally which began toward the end of the first quarter of 2009 with relative gains concentrated in stocks with relatively higher levels of risks. Typically, the companies with the characteristics that are generally included in the portfolio (strong growth outlook, good earnings quality, reasonable valuation) do not perform well during such rallies, and that was certainly the case in this period.

For the period from January 1, 2009 to July 1, 2009, the Small-Cap Equity Fund participated in the State Street Bank securities lending program as described in Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements. For the reasons described under Effect on Performance of Certain Funds that Participate in Securities Lending, the financial statement-reported performance of the Small-Cap Equity Fund was positively impacted by 2.57 percentage points on July 1, 2009 as a result of such participation. For the period from January 1, 2009 to termination on July 1, 2009, the financial statement-reported performance of the Small-Cap Equity Fund was positively impacted by 2.74 percentage points as a result of such participation. As discussed below under Effect on Performance of Certain Funds that Participate in Securities Lending, actual returns experienced by Participants in the Fund based on net asset values for transaction purposes do not reflect the impact of any unrealized gains or losses in the cash collateral funds associated with the State Street Bank securities lending program.
Effect on Performance of Certain Funds that Participate in Securities Lending
The per Unit net asset values of the Funds that participate directly or indirectly in the State Street Bank securities lending program as reflected in their financial statements are based on United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and differ from the per Unit net asset values calculated for purposes of transactions experienced by Participants in their accounts. The difference is driven by the valuation of securities lending cash collateral funds referred to below as cash collateral funds.
The Funds referred to above, either directly or indirectly through their investment in other funds and accounts managed by State Street Bank or its affiliates, participate in the State Street Bank securities lending program as described in Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The Funds participating in this program typically receive cash collateral at the time of lending with a value in excess of that of the loaned securities, and collateral is increased or decreased, respectively, as the value of the loaned securities increases or decreases. The cash collateral is invested for the account and risk of the participating funds in the cash collateral funds, which are managed by State Street Bank or its affiliates. For purposes of normal daily transaction activity, these cash collateral funds, as permitted under their governing agreements, value their investments on the basis of amortized cost, rather than current market values, to the extent that an investment is not in default or considered to be impaired. State Street Bank has informed the Collective Trust that none of the securities in the cash collateral funds was in default or considered to be impaired at September 30, 2009 and therefore purchases and redemptions of units in the cash collateral funds continue to be transacted at a value equivalent to $1.00 per unit (100% of principal invested), even though, on a market basis at September 30, 2009, the cash collateral funds had net asset values ranging from $.975 to $.977 per unit. These net asset values compare to values ranging from $.940 to $.957 per unit at June 30, 2009 and $.908 to $.935 per unit at December 31, 2008.
For financial reporting purposes under GAAP, each of these Funds has valued its direct and indirect investments in the cash collateral funds at their market values, and has recognized either unrealized gains or unrealized losses in the financial statements for the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2009. Gains positively impacted, and losses negatively impacted, reported performance of each relevant Fund to the extent stated in its respective discussion under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsQuarter and Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2009. The unrealized gains were the result of partial reversals of unrealized
155
Table of Contents
losses recognized in previous periods. These unrealized losses, net of any previously unrealized gains partially reversing these losses, could further reverse, in whole or in part, over time to the extent that principal is eventually recovered on maturities or higher prices are realized upon sale of the underlying securities, although, as with any investment, such events are not assured of occurring, and future losses could be experienced for financial reporting purposes if the net asset values per unit of the cash collateral funds on a market basis decrease from their September 30, 2009 levels. However, these Funds have continued to value their investments in the cash collateral funds for purposes of Participant transactions at amortized-cost based value used by the cash collateral funds for daily transactions. Accordingly, actual returns experienced by Participants in the Funds based on net asset values for transaction purposes do not reflect the impact of any unrealized gains or losses.
For information on the effect of the unrealized gains or losses described above on the performance for financial reporting purposes of a particular Fund, see the discussion related to performance of such Fund above for the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2009.
Effect of Transition on Performance of Certain Funds
The returns of the Large Cap Equity Fund and Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund in the period from commencement of operations on July 2, 2009 to September 30, 2009 and the returns of the International All Cap Equity Fund for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 were negatively affected by (1) $492,000 in costs incurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 related to (i) terminating the Large-Cap Value Equity Fund, Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund and Small-Cap Equity Fund, (ii) establishing the Large Cap Equity Fund and Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund and (iii) restructuring the International All Cap Equity Fund, which costs were allocated among the Large Cap Equity Fund, Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund and International All Cap Equity Fund in proportion to the assets of those Funds and (2) the adverse impact on the prices of securities caused by the large number of securities sold by the terminated Funds and bought by the newly-established Funds on the day of the transition.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Stable Asset Return Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 0.94%. By comparison, a combination of the Ryan Labs Three Year GIC Index and the iMoneyNet MFR Prime Institutional Money Market Fund Average, weighted 70%/30%, respectively, produced an investment record of 1.00% for the same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 2.95%, compared to an investment record of 3.13% for the combination benchmark for the same period. The Ryan Labs Three Year GIC Index portion of the combination benchmark does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the instruments that comprise that index or for fund expenses.
The Stable Asset Return Fund underperformed the combination benchmark for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Quarterly underperformance has been a result of persistent market volatility, which escalated to unprecedented heights in September. The ongoing market turmoil has led to lower valuations across the bond market. The effect of Fund expenses also lowered total return as compared to the combination benchmark. September was one of the worst periods in history for the global financial markets. Not only did the U.S. government nationalize mortgage agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but September also saw one of the largest corporate failures as Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection only a week after the agency bailouts. Merrill Lynch agreed to be taken over by Bank of America, and insurance giant AIG was bailed out by the Federal Reserve with an $85 billion loan. Regulators also allowed Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs to apply for banking licenses. Towards the end of the month Washington Mutual filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and Wachovia agreed to be taken over by Citigroup (although Wells Fargo has since appeared as a rival bidder) while the government tried to pass a $700 billion dollar bailout program. During the quarter, the Fund increased its exposures to the agency and agency mortgage sectors by approximately 2% and 1%, respectively.
The Stable Asset Return Fund underperformed the combination benchmark for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. Year-to-date underperformance has been a result of persistent market volatility, which escalated to unprecedented heights in September. The ongoing market turmoil has led to lower valuations across the bond market. The effect of Fund expenses also lowered total return as compared to the combination benchmark. The Fund continues to focus on maintaining liquidity and minimizing risk.
Intermediate Bond Fund
The Intermediate Bond Funds investment objective is to achieve a total return from current income and capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Intermediate Bond Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (3.86)%. By comparison, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index produced an investment record of (0.49)% for the same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (2.65)%, compared to an investment record of 0.63% for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index for the same period. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise the index or for fund expenses.
The Intermediate Bond Fund, which is advised by Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, underperformed the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. With respect to the Funds interest rate strategy, duration exceeding that of the benchmark contributed to performance as yields fell worldwide. A focus on short maturities in the U.S., U.K. and Europe was also positive as these yield curves steepened. However, implementing this strategy via money market futures was negative, as interbank lending rates rose. With respect to the Funds sector strategy, an overweight to high quality agency-backed mortgage securities helped performance as these bonds outpaced the mortgage sector overall. An overweight to bonds of financial companies was a significant detractor from performance during the quarter as contagion from sub-prime-related deleveraging swept through this sector despite unprecedented government support. Modest exposure to emerging market bonds and currencies was an additional negative for the Fund in the face of heightened global risk aversion and worsening financial conditions in the U.S. Small holdings of municipal bonds detracted from performance as munis sold off amid a flight to Treasuries.

International Equity Fund
The International Equity Funds investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital through investment primarily in common stocks of established non-U.S. companies. The Fund seeks to diversify investments broadly among developed and emerging countries and generally to have at least three different countries represented in the portfolio. The International Equity Fund seeks to achieve, over an extended period of time, total returns comparable to or superior to broad measures of the international (non-U.S.) stock market.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the International Equity Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (21.05)%. By comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and Far East Index (the MSCI EAFE Index) produced an investment record of (20.56)% for the same period. For further comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International All-Country World Ex-U.S. Free Index (the MSCI ACWI ex-USA Index) produced an investment record of (21.91)% for the same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (29.24)%, compared to an investment record of (29.26)% for the MSCI EAFE Index and an investment record of (29.85)% for the MSCI ACWI ex-USA Index for the same period. The International Equity Fund began using the MSCI EAFE Index as its primary benchmark effective January 1, 2008 because the MSCI EAFE Index reflects less exposure to developing countries and is thus believed to be more closely reflective of the Funds portfolio. Neither the MSCI EAFE Index nor the MSCI ACWI ex-USA Index includes an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise that index or for fund expenses.
The portion of the International Equity Fund advised with the assistance of JPMorgan Asset Management (UK) Limited outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Stock selection in the areas of materials, technology, industrials, healthcare and financials all contributed positively to relative performance while consumer discretionary and telecoms detracted. Regionally, value was added in Continental Europe, the U.K. and emerging markets but lagged in Japan and the Pacific basin. Despite continued turmoil in the financial sector, a number of financial holdings were among the largest individual contributors to relative performance. HDFC Bank, China Life, Axa and Zurich Financial Services all posted gains during the period, defying the market downturn. On the other end of the spectrum, resource-oriented holdings like BHP Billiton, Petrobras and CVRD were among the worst individual performers as the price of oil and other commodities plunged on recession fears. Despite the pullback, however, materials holdings held up better than the sector in general as the portfolio avoided some of the worst performers within that space.
The portion of the International Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Philadelphia International Advisors, LP underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. While good performance was achieved via stock selection in sectors such as consumer discretionary and industrials as well as the French market, overall performance lagged for several reasons. First, a considerable underweight position in consumer staples hurt relative returns, as this sector was the second-best performing in the index after healthcare. This underweight is due to the portfolios investment philosophy and an emphasis on stocks offering attractive valuation. The defensive qualities of consumer staples have long been recognized by the stock market, and the resulting expensive valuation has led the portfolio to reduce this exposure over time. The second key driver of underperformance resulted from the severity of the current financial crisis. Over the past 12 months, financials and other economically sensitive sectors have offered attractive characteristics from a pure valuation perspective. However, the severity of this financial crisis has pushed financials fundamentals to the brink and essentially rendered cheap valuation meaningless thus far. This hurt portfolio returns in the third quarter as the portfolios financials holdings were the single biggest contributor to negative relative returns. Finally, an underweight position in Japan and utilities, as well as stock selection in both, detracted from portfolio returns.
The portion of the International Equity Fund advised by JP Morgan Asset Management (UK) Limited outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. Stock selection added value in seven out of ten sectors as the portfolios focus on quality and balance sheet strength continued to pay off. Relative gains have been most notable in the industrial and technology sectors. In contrast, stock selection in consumer discretionary and telecoms has lagged. On a stock level, Orascom Construction and Canadian National Railway (both of which fall into the industrials sector) along with SAP (the German software company) were among the largest individual contributors to performance. Construction activity in the Middle East combined with strong demand for fertilizers have fueled earnings at Orascom Construction. Canadian National Railway has benefited from an increase in commodity shipments as well as from a growing number of people opting to travel or ship goods by train rather than by air or road. Stronger-than-expected licensing sales at SAP prompted management to raise forecasts.
The portion of the International Equity Fund advised by Philadelphia International Advisors, L.P. underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. The underperformance in the third quarter also dragged relative returns down year-to-date. In particular, stock selection within financials and utilities weighed on portfolio returns. From a regional perspective, positive selection in emerging markets was not enough to offset U.K. market holdings, where financials and consumer discretionary stocks dragged down performance.

Index Equity Fund
The Index Equity Fund seeks to replicate the total return of the Russell 3000 Index by investing in stocks included in the Russell 3000 Index, with the overall objective of achieving long-term growth of capital. The Russell 3000 Index represents approximately 98% of the U.S. equity market based on market capitalization of the companies in the Russell 3000 Index.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Index Equity Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (8.76)%. By comparison, the Russell 3000 Index produced an investment record of (8.73)% for the same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (19.01)%, compared to an investment record of (18.81)% for the Russell 3000 Index for the same period. The Russell 3000 Index does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise that index or for fund expenses.
The performance of the Index Equity Fund for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was consistent with the Russell 3000 Index after taking Fund expenses into account.

Retirement Date Funds
The Retirement Date Funds provide a series of balanced investment funds each of which is designed to correspond to a particular time horizon to retirement. Each Retirement Date Fund has a different initial investment strategy representing different risk and reward characteristics that reflect a participants anticipated time to expected retirement. The longer the time period to expected retirement, the greater is the Retirement Date Funds initial risk and potential reward profile. The Lifetime Income Retirement Date Fund seeks to avoid significant loss of principal for investors who are approaching or are beyond their retirement date and is comprised primarily of bonds, investment contracts and high-quality short-term debt instruments (such as those in which the Stable Asset Return Fund invests), and U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, to provide stability, income and inflation protection, although this Retirement Date Fund also includes 35% equity exposure. The 2010 Retirement Date Fund currently seeks to provide a blend of capital appreciation and stability of principal for participants planning to retire in or around the year 2010. The 2020 Retirement Date Fund currently seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and more-limited stability of principal for participants planning to retire in or around the year 2020. The 2030 Retirement Date Fund currently seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation for participants planning to retire in or around the year 2030 and is comprised mainly of stocks for higher growth potential. The 2040 Retirement Date Fund currently seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation for participants planning to retire in or around the year 2040 and is comprised mainly of stocks for maximum growth potential.
The Retirement Date Funds seek to achieve their objectives by investing in various index or other collective investment funds maintained by State Street Bank. During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, these funds included, in the case of some or all of the Retirement Date Funds and in varying allocations, S&P 500® Flagship Securities Lending Series Fund, Daily MSCI ACWI ex-US Securities Lending Index Fund, S&P MidCap® Index Securities Lending Series Fund, Russell 2000® Index Securities Lending Series Fund, Long U.S. Government Index Securities Lending Fund, Passive Bond Market Index Securities Lending Series Fund, U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Lending Series Fund and Principal Accumulation Return Fund.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Retirement Date Funds experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (4.16)% for the Lifetime Income Retirement Date Fund, (5.51)% for the 2010 Retirement Date Fund, (7.71)% for the 2020 Retirement Date Fund, (9.23)% for the 2030 Retirement Date Fund and (10.06)% for the 2040 Retirement Date Fund. The performance of each Retirement Date Fund for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was consistent with the relevant composite benchmark after taking Fund expenses into account.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Retirement Date Funds experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (6.49)% for the Lifetime Income Retirement Date Fund, (10.24)% for the 2010 Retirement Date Fund, (14.53)% for the 2020 Retirement Date Fund, (17.25)% for the 2030 Retirement Date Fund and (18.44)% for the 2040 Retirement Date Fund. The performance of each Retirement Date Fund for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was consistent with the relevant combination benchmark after taking Fund expenses into account.
Balanced Fund

For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Balanced Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (7.68)%. By comparison, a combination of the Russell 1000 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, weighted 60%/40%, respectively, produced an investment record of (5.82)% for the same period.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the equity segment of the Balanced Fund, which is advised with the assistance of Capital Guardian Trust Company, underperformed the Russell 1000 Index. Quarterly returns for the equity segment were held back primarily by stock selection in the financials sector, particularly among thrifts and mortgage companies. In addition, an overweight to and stock selection in materials weighed on results as commodity prices retreated.

Large-Cap Value Equity Fund
The Large-Cap Value Equity Fund seeks to outperform, over extended periods of time, broad measures of the domestic stock market. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks and other equity-type securities of companies with market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, of greater than $1 billion that in the opinion of State Street and the Funds Investment Advisor are undervalued in the marketplace. A portion of the Fund (approximately 25%) is invested to replicate the Russell 1000 Value Index, which is comprised of those Russell 1000 stocks with a greater than average value orientation. The remainder of the Large-Cap Value Equity Fund is actively managed.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Large-Cap Value Equity Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (7.70)%. By comparison, the Russell 1000 Value Index produced an investment record of (6.11)% for the same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (23.16)%, compared to an investment record of (18.85)% for the Russell 1000 Value Index for the same period. The Russell 1000 Value Index does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise that index or for fund expenses.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the actively managed portion of the Large-Cap Value Equity Fund, which is advised with the assistance of AllianceBernstein L.P., underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index. Relative performance was hurt by financial holdings as many of the most attractively valued opportunities identified by research continued to be punished in this environment of uncertainty. The largest detractors from performance were AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The portfolio sold its positions in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but retained a position in AIG while evaluating the implications of the governments plan to shore up the companys capital base.

The largest detractors from performance were AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The portfolio sold its positions in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but retained a position in AIG while evaluating the implications of the governments plan to shore up the companys capital base. Research had suggested that all three companies were well capitalized or had access to capital to survive the credit crisis. Other financial holdings appear to be less sensitive to the short-term funding issues plaguing the industry. Indeed, bank holding JPMorgan Chase was among the biggest contributors to relative returns. Another contributor was SPX Corporation. Shares of the industrial conglomerate rose after its board declared a quarterly dividend. In addition, SPXs first-quarter earnings exceeded consensus estimates, supported by strength in its thermal equipment and services segment.

Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund
The Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund invests primarily in common stocks and other equity-type securities of companies with market capitalizations greater than $1 billion at the time of purchase that are believed to have strong earnings growth potential. The Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital through increases in the value of the securities it holds and to realize income principally from dividends on such securities. A portion of the Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund (approximately 33 1/ 3%) is invested to replicate the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which is comprised of those Russell 1000 securities with a greater than average growth orientation. The remainder of the Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund is actively managed in two portions of approximately 33 1/3% each of the assets of the Fund, subject to differences in relative performance. The Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund seeks to achieve, over an extended period of time, total returns that are comparable to or superior to those attained by broad measures of the domestic stock market.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (12.32)%. By comparison, the Russell 1000 Growth Index produced an investment record of (12.33)% for the same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (20.75)%, compared to an investment record of (20.27)% for the Russell 1000 Growth Index for the same period. The Russell 1000 Growth Index does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise the index or for fund expenses.
The portion of the Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Capital Guardian Trust Company outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Quarterly returns outpaced the benchmark due primarily to stock selection and overweight in health care, which benefited partly from mergers and acquisitions activity. Stock selection in industrials and an underweight position in energy also helped relative performance. Quarterly results were hampered by an underweight in consumer staples and stock selection in information technology.
The portion of the Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund advised with the assistance of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Stock selection in information technology detracted from relative performance, notably in the computers and peripherals and semiconductors and semiconductor equipment industries. Marvell Technology, Broadcom, and Apple detracted from relative performance. An underweight allocation to consumer staples impaired relative results. Stock selection in financials, where holdings are concentrated in capital markets, detracted from relative performance as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs came under intense pressure. An underweight position to energy was the primary contributor to relative performance. Stock selection across the sector also added value. Energy was one of the worst performing sectors during the period, as energy prices fell steadily, driving down the performance of energy firms. An overweight in consumer discretionary also proved beneficial.

Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund
The Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund seeks to outperform, over extended periods of time, broad measures of the domestic stock market. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations of between $1 billion and $12 billion at the time of investment. The Fund seeks to achieve growth of capital through investing primarily in common stocks of medium-sized companies believed to be attractively priced relative to their future earnings power. The Fund seeks to emphasize sectors and securities State Street and the Investment Advisor consider undervalued.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund, which is advised with the assistance of Wellington Asset Management Company, LLP, experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (10.75)%. By comparison, the Russell Mid-Cap Value Index produced an investment record of (7.52)% for the same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (24.63)%, compared to an investment record of (15.46)% for the Russell Mid-Cap Value Index for the same period. The Russell Mid-Cap Value Index does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise that index or for fund expenses.
The Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund underperformed the Russell Mid-Cap Value Index for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Negative relative results in eight sectors, led by financials and materials, outweighed the positive relative performance from the health care and industrials sectors. Detractors from performance included an underweight to and security selection within the financials sector. Portfolio holdings Sovereign Bancorp, Washington Mutual, and National City hurt performance. Stock selection and an overweight to the materials sector also weighed on returns. Underperformers within this sector were fertilizer company Agrium and mining stock Cleveland-Cliffs. Agrium declined 48% during the quarter, while shares of Cleveland-Cliffs fell 55%. Several other highly unusual trends exaggerated the shortfall: 1) hedge funds (which populate mid-cap ownership ranks to a higher degree than large-cap ownership ranks) raised record cash to handle redemptions so the most shorted stocks outperformed everything else, and the portfolio had the least exposure to this group; 2) smaller market caps trounced larger market caps the portfolio was much more biased towards the latter; 3) high dividend yielders beat low dividend yielders the portfolio was overweight in the latter; and 4) stocks with no earnings beat the lowest P/E quintile of the Index by over 1600 basis points. Contributors to performance included security selection within the health care sector, due in part to Barr Pharmaceuticals and West Pharmaceuticals. Shares of Barr Pharmaceuticals rose as the company agreed to a takeover offer by Teva Pharmaceuticals at a significant valuation premium. The industrials sector also benefited from strong holdings such as Northwest Airlines, whose shares rebounded off their compressed levels due to falling jet fuel costs. Shares of Werner, a truckload and logistics company, also rose during the quarter.
The Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund underperformed the Russell Mid-Cap Value Index for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. Performance from holdings in the financials and energy sectors detracted from results relative to the index. Within the financials sector, the Funds holdings in Ambac and Sovereign Bancorp hurt performance. Also detracting from performance was security selection within the energy sector. The Funds allocation to Newfield Exploration detracted the most from relative results. Newfields stock decline of 40% was attributable in part to the drop in prices of oil and gas. Although each of the ten sectors detracted from relative performance, several noteworthy holdings contributed to portfolio performance overall. Among these contributors were Barr Pharmaceuticals, Reinsurance Group of America, and M&T Bank. Barr Pharmaceuticals had a strong third quarter, which drove year-to-date performance. Shares of Reinsurance Group of America, a global life reinsurer, rose during the quarter, as did shares of coal producer Arch Coal.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund, which is advised with the assistance of Turner Investment Partners, Inc. experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (21.08)%. By comparison, the Russell Mid-Cap Growth Index produced an investment record of (17.75)% for the same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (28.29)%, compared to an investment record of (23.35)% for the Russell Mid-Cap Growth Index for the same period. The Russell Mid-Cap Growth Index does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise that index or for fund expenses.
The Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund underperformed the Russell Mid-Cap Growth Index for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Relative results in the producer durables and material/processing sectors detracted the most from performance as the decline in the price of commodities impacted these holdings. The financial services and health care sectors provided the best downside protection. The producer durables sector detracted the most from results when compared to the benchmark as the market transitioned from late cycle to early cycle holdings as some of the late cycle issuers did not respond favorably in this volatile market. A few holdings of note that were hit hard during the quarter were Flowserve Corp., a provider of fluid motion and control products and services, and Cummins Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of diesel engines.
Within the materials/processing sector, the decline in commodity prices handcuffed holdings, highlighted by a major sell-off in early to mid-July. Steel maker Steel Dynamics Inc. and coal producer Walter Industries were two holdings that came under pressure during the quarter (after experiencing tremendous gains during the first six months of the year) as the economic global slowdown diminished demand for commodities. Although the Fund continued to be invested in commodity related holdings, the exposure to areas like steel, coal, and precious metals were reduced.
In light of the unprecedented financial crisis, the Fund continued to avoid credit sensitive companies, which helped financial holdings contribute the most to relative results for the quarter. Regional and savings banks along with stock selection within REITs continued to be the recipe for success in this area. Hudson City Bancorp Inc., one of the largest New Jersey banks, was one of the few companies within the financials space that produced positive returns for the quarter. Attractive spreads on jumbo mortgages and a widening yield curve helped its performance. Public Storage traded higher after Hurricane Ike passed through the Houston area and displaced many people from their homes, which led to increased demand for storage sites. The storage provider is also benefiting from the ongoing housing dislocation as more people use its services.
The health care sector also contributed to gains for the period as the more stable, defensive holdings in this area typically fare better in an unpredictable market environment. Health care service companies contributed the most to gains within the sector, highlighted by Express Scripts, a pharmacy benefit manager. The company reported a strong quarter and companies like Express Scripts may benefit from the conversion of branded drugs to generic drugs as a result of expiring patents.
The Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund underperformed the Russell Mid-Cap Growth Index for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. For the year-to-date period, the consumer discretionary and technology sectors detracted the most from relative performance. In the technology sector, semiconductor holdings hurt relative performance on a year-to-date basis. The consumer sector has been particularly challenging in the year-to-date period, as consumers have been under pressure due to the rapid increase in oil prices early in the year, the rise in unemployment and the inability to finance items on credit. The Fund maintained its positions in non-consumer holdings like printing company Vista Print and consulting firm FTI Consulting Inc., both of which produced positive relative results for the Fund. Vista Print benefited from a focus on cutting costs when compared to its competitors and FTI Consulting traded higher as a result of increased bankruptcy activity. At period-end the Fund favored early cycle securities and likes the internet and consulting firms with attractive growth prospects.
Energy holdings posted the greatest amount of excess return relative to the benchmark, primarily as a result of the rising commodity prices earlier in the year. Since the price of commodities peaked at the end of the second quarter, the Fund reduced its exposure to companies specializing in oil and gas production, coal, and drillers as the demand for commodities has fallen considerably. However, off-shore oil service and equipment companies are currently favored as highlighted with the holding in Smith International Inc.

Small-Cap Equity Fund
The Small-Cap Equity Fund invests primarily in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations of $2.5 billion or less at the time of investment. These companies may include new companies and companies that may benefit from new technologies, new product or service developments or management changes. The Small-Cap Equity Fund seeks to achieve, over an extended period of time, total returns comparable to or superior to those attained by broad measures of the domestic stock market. A portion of the Fund is invested to replicate the Russell 2000 Index, which is comprised of the 2,000 companies in the Russell 3000 Index with the smallest market capitalization. The remainder of the Fund is actively managed with the assistance of Wellington Management Company, LLP and Smith Asset Management Group, L.P.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Small-Cap Equity Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (6.18)%. By comparison, the Russell 2000 Index produced an investment record of (1.11)% for the same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (12.74)%, compared to an investment record of (10.38)% for the Russell 2000 Index for the same period. The Russell 2000 Index does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise that index or for fund expenses.
The portion of the Small-Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Wellington Asset Management Company, LLP underperformed the Russell 2000 Index for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The portfolio underperformed its benchmark, as six of the ten broad market sectors trailed the Index due to security selection. Information technology and financials were the biggest detractors. Security selection in the information technology sector detracted from performance. The portfolios exposure to ON Semiconductor Corp. and THQ Inc. hurt results. ON Semiconductor Corp., a global supplier of power and data management semiconductors, fell amid concerns that a weakening economy would decrease demand for the companys products. Shares of THQ Inc., a video game maker, fell as management lowered guidance due to weaker-than-expected sales. Security selection within the financials sector also hurt relative results, led by asset manager Waddell & Reed, whose shares fell over 28% during the quarter. Also detracting from performance was the portfolios lack of exposure to bank names Colonial Bancgroup and Cathay General Bancorp, each of which rose over 80% during the third quarter. Security selection within the health care sector added to performance, helped by strong performers Celera and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. Celera, a medical diagnostic products and services company, reported revenue that exceeded expectations. Shares of Regeneron, a biopharmaceutical company, rose on positive news for the firms drugs that target macular degeneration and gout. The portfolio also benefited from its consumer staples holdings, including United Natural Foods, an organic and natural foods distributor, and Hain Celestial, an organic food and personal care products company.
The portion of the Small-Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Smith Asset Management Group, L.P. underperformed the Russell 2000 Index for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Negative contributing sectors included financials and industrials. The portfolio was underweight financials. Many poorer quality companies that had dropped considerably due to the subprime mortgage crisis rallied during the quarter, causing companies in the financial sector of the benchmark to be up 16.8% versus companies in the financial sector of the portfolio rising only 7.7%. In the industrials sector, both an overweight position in this sector and the underperformance of the stocks in the sector detracted from performance. Companies in the portfolio were down 14.2% versus companies in the benchmark declining only 4.5%. At the sector level, positive relative performance for the quarter was derived primarily by an underweight sector position and good stock selection in the materials sector. On a relative basis, information technology was the second best sector during the quarter. The portfolio was overweight the sector and companies in the information technology sector of the portfolio were down 3.82% versus companies in the information technology sector of the benchmark declining 5.44%.
The performance of the indexed portion of the Small-Cap Equity Fund for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was consistent with the Russell 2000 Index after taking Fund expenses into account.

The portfolios bottom-up investment approach trailed the Index for the year-to-date period, as seven of the ten broad market sectors underperformed. Security selection within the information technology sector was the primary detractor from relative results for the year-to-date period.

Within the financials sector, the portfolios exposure to First Community Bancorp, a holding company for First Community Bank of America, and AmericanWest Bancorp, a holding company for AmericanWest Bank, detracted from relative results. Shares of the banks fell approximately 46% and 91%, respectively, and the portfolios overweight positions hurt performance. Within the materials sector, the portfolios exposure to Cleveland-Cliffs, a producer of iron ore pellets, aided performance. During the first half of the year, Cleveland-Cliffs posted strong returns driven by higher demand for coal and iron ore. Also additive to performance was the portfolios overweight to strong performer Solutia Incorporated. The portfolios energy holdings also contributed to relative performance.
