on December 5, 1991 and as amended thereafter. State Street Bank and Trust
Company ("State Street Bank" and "Trustee") acts as trustee for the Trust. The
Trust is maintained exclusively for the collective investment monies
administered on behalf of participants in the American Bar Association Members
Retirement Program. Ten separate collective investment Funds (the "Funds") and
the Structured Portfolio Service (the "Portfolios") are established under the
Trust. The Structured Portfolio Service offers three approaches to
diversifying investments by selecting various allocations among the Funds. The
Funds and Portfolios are investment options under the American Bar Association
Members Retirement Program (the "Program") which is sponsored by the American
Bar Retirement Association ("ABRA"). The objectives and principal strategies
of the Funds and Portfolios are as follows:
Balanced Fund--current income and long-term capital appreciation
through investment in common stocks, other equity-type securities and
debt securities.
Index Equity Fund--replication of the total return of the Russell
3000 Index. Currently invests in the State Street Bank and Trust Company
Russell 3000 Index Securities Lending Fund, a separate State Street Bank
collective investment fund which invests in securities contained in the
Russell 3000 Index. This underlying fund's financial statements are
available upon request from State Street Bank.
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 competitive total return from
current income and capital appreciation.
International Equity Fund--long term growth of capital through
investment in common stocks and other equity securities of established
non-U.S. companies.
Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund --long term growth of capital and
some dividend income through investment in common stocks and equity-type
securities of large, well established companies. Currently invests in
common stocks and the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 1000
Growth Index Securities Lending Fund, a separate State Street Bank
collective investment fund which invests in securities contained in the
Russell 1000 Index. This underlying fund's financial statements are
available upon request from State Street Bank.
Large-Cap Value Equity Fund --long term growth of capital and
dividend income through investment in common stocks, primarily of large
capitalization companies believed to be undervalued. Currently invests
in common stocks and the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell
1000 Value Index Securities Lending Fund, a separate State Street Bank
collective investment fund which invests in securities contained in the
Russell 1000 Index. This underlying fund's financial statements are
available upon request from State Street Bank.

Notes to Financial Statements--(Continued)
Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund--long term growth of capital through
investment in common stocks primarily of medium sized companies believed
to have strong earnings growth potential.
Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund--long term growth of capital through
investment in common stocks, primarily of medium sized companies
believed to be undervalued.
Small-Cap Equity Fund --long term growth of capital through
investment in common stocks of small companies believed to have strong
appreciation potential.
Stable Asset Return Fund ("SARF")--current income consistent with
preserving principal and maintaining liquidity through investment in
high quality short-term instruments and investment contracts of
insurance companies, banks and financial institutions. Currently invests
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 of insurance companies, banks and
financial institutions, and in the State Street Bank Yield Enhanced
Short-Term Investment Fund ("YES"), a separate State Street Bank
collective investment fund. State Street Yield Enhanced Short-Term
Investment Fund financial statements are available upon request.
Structured Portfolio Service
Conservative--higher current investment income and some
capital appreciation.
Moderate--high current investment income and greater capital
appreciation.
Aggressive--long-term growth of capital and lower current
investment income.
Each Structured Portfolio Service achieves its objective through a
pre-determined investment allocation in the Funds.
The Trust may offer and sell an unlimited number of units representing
interests in separate Funds and Portfolios of the Trust, each unit to be
offered and sold at the per unit net asset value of the corresponding Fund or
Portfolio.
State Street Bank has assumed responsibility for administering 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 Bank is responsible for certain recordkeeping and
administrative services required by the Program. In addition, State Street
Bank is the primary custodian, provides account and investment information to
employers and participants, receives all plan contributions, 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.

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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Such principles were applied on a
basis consistent with those reflected in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K
of the Trust as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
accompanying financial data should be read in conjunction with the notes to
the financial statements contained in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In
the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Balanced Fund, Index
Equity Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, International Equity Fund, Large-Cap
Growth Equity Fund, Large-Cap Value Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund,
Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund, Small-Cap Equity Fund, Stable Asset Return Fund,
Conservative Structured Portfolio Service, Moderate Structured Portfolio
Service and Aggressive Structured Portfolio Service as of September 30, 2003
and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net
assets and certain financial data for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2003.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial
statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States and provisions of the Trust agreement:
A. Security Valuation
Stable Asset Return Fund: Formerly, it was the Trust's policy to
attempt to maintain a constant price of $1.00 per unit for SARF. Since July
15, 2002, SARF no longer does so. The principal consequence of the change is
that SARF is no longer accounting for the distribution and reinvestment of
accrued income by issuing additional units each business day. Instead, SARF is
retaining this income as undistributed amounts which comprise an accumulating
component of the net asset value of SARF. SARF invests in SAFT, whose
investments include insurance company, bank and financial institution
investment contracts and investments in YES. Consistent with this objective,
the short-term portfolio instruments of the collective investment fund are
valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
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 on the market
value of the instrument. As the contracts are benefit-responsive and the
Fund's investors are participants in qualified benefits plans, the insurance
company, bank and financial institution investment contracts are maintained at
contract value (cost plus accrued interest) which approximates fair value. The
values of investments in collective investment funds are based on the net
asset values of such respective collective investment funds.
Other Funds and Portfolios: Stocks listed on national securities
exchanges and certain over-the-counter issues traded on the Nasdaq National
Market (NASDAQ) are valued at the last close price, or, if no sale, at the
latest available bid price. Other unlisted stocks reported on the NASDAQ
system are valued at quoted bid prices.
Foreign securities not traded directly or in American Depositary Receipt
(ADR) form in the United States are valued in the local currency at the last
sale price on the respective exchange and are converted into the U.S. dollar
equivalent at current exchange rates.
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.
Fixed income investments 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
55
comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are
generally recognized by institutional traders. If not valued by a pricing
service such securities are valued at prices obtained from independent
brokers. Convertible bonds and unlisted convertible preferred stocks are
valued at bid prices obtained from one or more major dealers in such
securities. Where there is a discrepancy between dealers, values may be
adjusted based on recent discount spreads to the underlying common stock.
Investments with prices that cannot be readily obtained, if any, are
carried at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures established by and under the supervision of the Trustee.
56
American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust
Notes to Financial Statements--(Continued)
The values of investments in registered investment companies are based
on the net asset value of such respective registered investment companies.
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 accounting records of the Funds and Portfolios 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.
B. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date 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 identified cost of
securities delivered.
A Fund's 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 may
include a component attributable to investment income of the underlying funds.
C. Foreign Currency 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 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.
D. Income Taxes
State Street Bank, on behalf of 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. Rule.
81-100, 1981, C.B. 326 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.
57
American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust
Notes to Financial Statements--(Continued)
E. Sales and Redemptions of Units of Participation and Distributions
The units offered represent interests in the Funds and Portfolios
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 respective Fund's
and Portfolio's net asset value.
All Funds: Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Funds and Portfolios
are not required to distribute their net investment income or gains from the
sale of portfolio investments.
F. TBA Commitments and Roll Transactions
The Balanced Fund and Intermediate Bond 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 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. Risks may also arise upon entering into
these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the
terms of their contracts. During the period prior to settlement, these Funds
will not be entitled to accrue interest and/or receive principal payments.
Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current market value of the
underlying securities, generally according to the procedures under "Security
Valuation" above. These Funds may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement
if the Fund's advisor 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.
G. Futures Contracts
The Intermediate Bond Fund may use, on a limited basis, futures
contracts to manage exposure to the bond market, and as a substitute for
comparable market positions in the securities held by the Fund (with respect
to the portion of its portfolio that is held in cash items). Buying futures
tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Selling
futures tends to decrease a fund's 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
trades 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 if there is an illiquid 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.
58
American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust
Notes to Financial Statements--(Continued)
H. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Intermediate Bond Fund and the International 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 Fund's 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.
I. Interest Rate Swap Contracts
The Intermediate Bond 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 between the Fund and a counterparty of respective
commitments to make variable rate and fixed rate payments with respect to a
notional amount of principal. Swap contracts may 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 interest income.
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 Advisor. The Fund bears the
market risk arising from any change in interest rates.
At September 30, 2003, the Intermediate Bond Fund held no interest rate
swap contracts.
J. Swaption Contracts
The Intermediate Bond Fund may 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 enter into a swap contract on a future date. If a call swaption
is exercised, the purchaser will enter 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
59
American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust
Notes to Financial Statements--(Continued)
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 a swaption contract involves, to varying degrees, the
elements of credit, market and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts
reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, associated with both
option contracts and swap contracts. To reduce credit risk from potential
counterparty default, the Fund enters into swaption 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.

K. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted 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.
3. Investment Advisory, Investment Management and Related Party Transactions
State Street Bank has retained the services of Capital Guardian Trust
Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Capital Group Companies, Inc.;
Dresdner RCM Global Investors LLC, the institutional investment management
area of Dresdner Bank Group; Sit Investment Associates, Inc.; Morgan Stanley
Investment Management, Inc. (successor to Miller Anderson & Sherrerd);
Alliance Capital Management L.P.'s Bernstein Investment Research and
Management Unit; Pacific Investment Management Company; Ariel Capital
Management; Turner Investment Partners; Philadelphia International Advisors,
LP; and JP Morgan Fleming Asset Management Limited 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 Bank investments and reinvestments of the assets allocated to it
in accordance with the investment policies of the respective Fund as described
above. State Street Bank exercises discretion with respect to the selection
and retention of the investment advisors and may remove, upon consultation with
ABRA, 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 Advisor's contract. These fees are
accrued on a daily basis and paid monthly from the assets. Actual fees paid to
each investment advisor during the year are disclosed in the Trust's
prospectus. Fee rate ranges based on the respective breakpoints are as follows:
Investment Advisor Fee Rate Range
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
Capital Guardian Trust Company (Large-Cap Growth Equity, Small-Cap Equity and Balanced) .225% to .50%*

A separate program fee ("Program fee") is paid to each of State Street
Bank and ABRA. These fees are allocated to each Fund based on net asset value
and are accrued on a daily basis and paid monthly from the assets of the
Funds. The ABRA Program fee is based on the value of Program assets based on
the following annual rates:
Rate for ABRA Year ended
Value of Program Assets December 31, 2002
- ------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
First $500 million .075%
Next $850 million .065%
Next $1.15 billion .035%
Next $1.5 billion .025%
Over $4.0 billion .015%
ABRA received Program fees of $384,617 for the quarter ended September
30, 2003.
The State Street Program fee is calculated monthly as one-twelfth of the
sum of (i) $800,000 plus (ii) $194 multiplied by the number of participants
in the Program, other than active participants without account balances, as
of the last business day of the preceding month, plus (iii) $194 multiplied
by the excess, if any, of the number of active participants of the Program
without account balances as of the last Business Day of the preceding month
over the number of such participants as of December 31, 2002. This fee will
accrue daily and be payable monthly.
63
American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust
Notes to Financial Statements--(Continued)
A portion of the State Street Bank Program fee is reimbursed or reduced
each year based on the amount of retirement plan assets held by State Street
Bank on behalf of law firm and law-related clients identified by State Street
Bank and ABRA that do not participate in the Program. The amount of the
reimbursement is equal to .02% of the first $50 million of assets in such
plans during the preceding year and .01% of any assets in excess of $50
million. The accrued reduction for the quarter ended September 30, 2003
totaled $16,567 and is allocated to each Fund based on net asset value.
Benefit payments under the Program generally are made by check. Before
such a check becomes payable, funds for its payment are transferred from the
Trust to a non-interest bearing account with State Street Bank. No separate
fee is charged for processing 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 Bank's fees
under the Program. The program expense fee paid to State Street Bank reflects
a $300,000 reduction for earnings estimated to be attributable to outstanding
benefit checks for 2003.
A fee is paid to State Street Bank for its management, administration
and custody of the assets in the Investment Options (other than Self-Managed
Brokerage Accounts and Equitable Real Estate Accounts) at the following rates:
Value of Assets in all Funds 2002 Rate 2003 Rate
- ---------------------------------------------------------- ------------ -----------------
First $1.0 billion .15% .156%
Next $1.8 billion .058% .058%
Over $2.8 billion .025% .025%
This fee is accrued on a daily basis and paid monthly from the assets of
the Funds. The trustee, management and administrative fees attributable to the
funds held in the Structured Portfolio Service are also accrued and paid from
the funds.
State Street Bank received program, trustee, management and
administration fees which aggregated $3,215,896 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003. These fees are allocated to each Fund based on net asset
value.
The Portfolios are not charged a separate annual fee.

Intermediate Bond Fund 683,119,638 724,530,673
5. Geographic and Industry Concentration
American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") represent ownership of foreign
securities on deposit with a domestic custodian bank. Certain Funds maintain
investments in ADRs, as well as direct investments in foreign securities,
which involve special risks. These securities may be subject to foreign
government taxes that reduce their attractiveness. Other risks of investing in
such securities include political or economic instability in the country
involved, the difficulty of predicting international trade patterns and the
possibility of the imposition of exchange controls. Foreign issuers generally
are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting
standards comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. There is
generally less regulation of stock exchanges, brokers, banks and companies
abroad than in the United States. With respect to certain foreign countries,
there is a possibility of expropriation or diplomatic developments, which
could adversely affect investment in these countries. ADRs do not lessen the
risk of investing in foreign issuers; however, by investing in ADRs rather
than directly in foreign issuers' stock, the Funds will avoid currency risks
during the settlement period for purchases or sales. In addition, the domestic
market for ADRs may be more liquid than the foreign market for the underlying

Notes to Financial Statements--(Continued)
Substantially all of the Small-Cap Equity Fund's investments are in
securities of small companies, which typically have greater market and
financial risk than larger, more diversified companies. These companies are
often dependent on one or two products in rapidly changing industries and may
be more vulnerable to competition from larger companies with greater resources
and to economic conditions that affect their market sector.
SARF invests in a collective investment fund that maintains investments
in contracts issued by insurance companies, banks and financial institutions.
The issuing institution's ability to meet its contractual obligations under
the respective contracts may be affected by future economic and regulatory
developments.
6. Securities Lending Income
A portion of the income generated upon investment in the State Street
Bank and Trust Company Russell 1000 Value Index Securities Lending Fund, the
State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 3000 Index Securities Lending Fund
and the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 1000 Growth Index
Securities Lending Fund is remitted to the Large Cap Value Fund, the Index
Equity Fund and the Large Cap Growth Fund while the remainder is allocated
between the Funds and State Street Bank in its capacity as lending agent.
Negotiated lenders' fees are received for those loans collateralized by
securities or letters of credit, if any. Securities lending fee income, if
any, is recorded on an accrual basis by the Fund.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Balanced Fund
The Balanced Fund invests in publicly traded common stocks, other
equity-type securities, long-term debt securities and money market
instruments. The Balanced Fund seeks to achieve, over an extended period of
time, total returns comparable to or superior to an appropriate combination of
broad measures of the domestic stock and bond markets. State Street Bank has
retained Capital Guardian Trust Company and Morgan Stanley Investment
Management to serve as investment advisors to provide investment advice and
arrange for the execution of purchases and sales of securities for the
Balanced Fund. Capital Guardian Trust Company serves as investment advisor
with respect to investments in equity securities and Morgan Stanley Investment
Management serves as investment advisor with respect to investments in debt
securities.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Balanced Fund
experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 2.55%. For the same period, a
combination of the Russell 1000 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index weighted 60%/40%, respectively, produced an investment record of 1.78%.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Balanced Fund experienced a
total return, net of expenses, of 15.10% compared to an investment record of
10.95% for the 60/40% combination of the Russell 1000 Index and the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The Russell 1000 Index and the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index do not include an allowance for the fees or expenses that
an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise the
indices.
The results of the equity portfolio of the Balanced Fund for the
quarter ended September 30, 2003 were positive relative to the Russell 1000
Index primarily due to good stock selection. This was particularly true within
the producer durables, utilities and healthcare sectors of the Index. The
portfolio's overweight position in the producer durables sector was also
helpful. The portfolio's emphasis on smaller-capitalization companies within
the large-capitalization universe further positively contributed. On the
negative side, specific stocks within the financial sector were the largest
underperformers.
The fixed income portfolio of the Balanced Fund outperformed the
Lehman Aggregate Index during the third quarter due to favorable contributions
from a below-benchmark duration and superior security selection among
corporate issues.
The results of the equity portfolio of the Balanced Fund for the
nine-moths ended September 30, 2003, substantially exceeded the investment
record of the Russell 1000 Index primarily due to good stock selection. This
was particularly true within the consumer discretionary, producer durables and
utilities sectors of the Index. On the negative side, specific stocks within
the integrated oils sector were the largest underperformers.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the return of the fixed
income portfolio of the Balanced Fund closely matched that of the Index;
favorable contributions from corporate bond activity were offset by
underperformance from a higher-coupon issue emphasis in the
67
mortgage strategy and a below-benchmark duration, most notably during the
second quarter of the year.
At September 30, 2003, the most heavily weighted sectors in the
equity portion of the Balanced Fund were technology, healthcare and financial,
and securities representing the largest holdings based on market value
included Astrazeneca PLC, Forest Laboratories Inc., Washington Mutual Inc.,
Allergan Inc. and SLM Corp. The fixed income portion was principally invested
in government agency and mortgage related issues as of that date.
Index Equity Fund
The Index Equity Fund invests in common stocks of U.S. companies that
are 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 the market capitalization
of the companies in the Index. State Street Bank is currently the sole manager
of the Index Equity Fund. The assets of the Fund are currently invested
through the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 3000 Index Securities
Lending Fund, a collective investment fund maintained by State Street Bank.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Fund produced a total
return, net of expenses, of 3.30%. By comparison, the Russell 3000 Index
produced an investment record of 3.43% for the same period. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2003, the Fund experienced a total return, net of
expenses, of 15.99% compared to an investment record of 16.57% for Russell
3000 Index. The Russell 3000 Index does not include any allowance for the fees
or expenses that an investor would pay for investing in the stocks that
comprise the Index.
The performance of the Fund for the quarter was consistent with the
performance of the Index after taking into account fees and expenses.
The performance of the Fund for the nine-month period was consistent
with the performance of the Index after taking into account fees and expenses,
with the exception that the Fund's performance was adversely affected by 11
basis points in connection with transactions related to the reconstitution of
the Index which occurred in the second quarter of 2003.
At September 30, 2003, the most heavily weighted sectors in the of the
Index Equity Fund were financial, technology and healthcare, and securities
representing the largest holdings based on market value included General
Electric Co., Microsoft Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp., Pfizer Inc. and Citigroup
Inc.
Intermediate Bond Fund
The Intermediate Bond Fund's investment objective is to achieve a
total return from current income and capital appreciation by investing
primarily in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities. The Fund
generally maintains a portfolio duration of three to six years. State Street
Bank has retained Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") to serve
as investment advisor to provide investment advice and arrange for the
execution of purchases and sales of securities for the Intermediate Bond Fund.
68
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Intermediate Bond Fund
experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (0.28)%. As a comparison, the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index produced an investment record of (0.15)%
for the same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Fund
experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 3.90% compared to an
investment record of 3.78% for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index does not include an allowance for the
fees or expenses that an investor would pay for investing in the securities
that comprise the Index.
Although the Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark in the
quarter ended September 30, 2003, it outperformed before deduction of fees and
expenses. Diversifying beyond core index sectors helped protect the portfolio
during a difficult bond market environment. A near-index duration and yield
curve position was neutral for quarterly performance. A mortgage issue
overweight detracted from returns as historically high levels of volatility
adversely affected mortgage securities. A corporate bond underweight was
negative as rising profits stimulated investor demand, but positive security
selection of auto and telecommunications issues mitigated some of this impact.
Allocations to real return (inflation protection) and municipal bonds helped
returns; these less volatile asset classes outperformed in a rising interest
rate environment. Non-U.S. holdings, mainly Eurozone instruments, helped
returns as yields on those instruments rose less than those on Treasurys.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, most financial assets
gained. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks,
corporate bonds and high yield debt, fared the best as investors embraced
these assets in light of improving economic conditions in the U.S., an
accommodative Federal Reserve policy and stimulative fiscal policies. The Fund
outperformed the benchmark in the nine-month period despite volatile bond
markets. Diversifying beyond core index sectors helped protect the portfolio
during a difficult market environment. Interest rate strategies had a modestly
positive impact on performance. The portfolio's holdings along a broader yield
curve than that of the Index protected the portfolio as yields on
intermediate-term instruments increased. Although the mortgage sector
experienced lackluster returns over the nine-month period, mortgage security
selection in the portfolio helped relative performance. A corporate issue
underweight was negative as rising profits stimulated investor demand - and
riskier sectors of the bond market outperformed. Allocations to real return
bonds helped returns; this less volatile asset class outperformed when nominal
Treasury rates increased.
International Equity Fund
The International Equity Fund's investment objective is to seek
long-term growth of capital through investing primarily in common stocks of
established non-U.S. companies. The Fund seeks to diversify investments
broadly among countries of the Far East and Europe, as well as in South
Africa, Australia, Canada and other areas. 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.
Effective April 1, 2003, State Street Bank retained JP Morgan Fleming
Asset Management (London) Limited to be an investment advisor for the Fund for
approximately one-half of the assets in the Fund, and Philadelphia
International Advisors, L.P. to serve as
69
investment advisor for the remaining of the assets in the Fund. Prior to
April 1, 2003, the Fund's assets were allocated in two equal portions, one
portion of which was invested in the T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund, a
registered investment company managed by T. Rowe Price International, Inc.,
and the other portion of which was invested in a collective trust portfolio
for which advice was obtained from Dresdner RCM Global Investors LLC.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the International Equity
Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 6.00%. For the same
period, the investment record of the Morgan Stanley Capital International
All-Country World Ex-U.S. Free Index was 8.63%. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2003, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of
14.06% compared to an investment record of 20.29% for the MSCI AC World
Ex-U.S. Index. The Index does not include an allowance for the fees or
expenses that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that
comprise the Index.
The portion of the Fund's assets managed by Philadelphia
International Advisors lagged the Index during the quarter ended September 30,
2003, especially in September when Japanese and other Far East markets rose
strongly. The investment approach of this portfolio favors stocks with low
relative valuations and attractive relative yields and profitability. While
this approach was reasonably successful in most markets in the third quarter,
it was unsuccessful in Japan for two reasons. First, this portfolio avoided
investment in Japanese financial institutions due to concern over the
magnitude of their non-performing loans. This alone accounted for close to 1%
of the underperformance of this portfolio. Second, Japanese stocks held in the
portfolio were concentrated in defensives and exporters. The first group
attracted little buying interest in the cyclical recovery rally and the second
group performed well initially, but faltered as the yen strengthened over the
quarter.
The other portion of the Fund's assets, managed by JP Morgan Fleming,
also underperformed the benchmark for the quarter due to stock selection, with
underperformance in Japan being the cause. This portion of the portfolio, with
its emphasis on high quality companies earning an attractive and sustainable
return on equity at a sensible valuation, proved too defensive. Stocks
characterized by low return on equity, high debt and a low nominal share price
performed better. Asset allocation at the regional level had minimal impact,
and a short position in yen was a modest detractor from performance. Japan and
the financials again contributed to underperformance, as this portfolio also
avoided Japanese banks. In technology, holding Nokia as opposed to the more
geared equipment stocks caused this portfolio to lag. Not owning the European
semiconductors and software stocks which continue to trade on very high
multiples hurt as well. Auto companies including BMW and Honda were adversely
impacted by dollar weakness.
The underperformance of the Fund for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2003, is due in part to the performance of the Fund prior to the
replacement of its previous investment advisors on April 1, 2003. Performance
was also adversely affected during the transition to the new investment
advisors immediately after April 1, 2003.
The portion of the Fund's assets managed by Philadelphia
International Advisors performed commensurately with the Index since the
engagement of this adviser for this portfolio on April 1, 2003.
70
The other portion of the Fund's assets managed by JP Morgan Fleming
underperformed the Index since the engagement of this advisor for this
portfolio on April 1, 2003. The reasons for this underperformance are the same
as those the underperformance of this portfolio for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003.
At September 30, 2003, the most heavily weighted countries in the
International Equity Fund were the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Germany and
the Netherlands, and securities representing the largest holdings based on
market value in the Fund included Total Fina Elf SA, ENI SPA, GlaxoSmithKline,
Canon Inc. and Novartis AG.
Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund
The Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund invests primarily in common stocks
and other equity-type securities issued by large, well-established companies
and 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 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 by two
separate investment advisors, Capital Guardian Trust Company and Dresdner RCM
Global Investors LLC, which have been retained by State Street Bank to provide
investment advice and arrange for the execution of purchases and sales of
securities for the respective actively managed portions of the Fund's assets.
The Large-Cap Growth 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.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Large-Cap Growth Equity
Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 3.21%. By comparison, the
Russell 1000 Growth Index produced an investment record of 3.91% for the same
period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Fund experienced a
total return, net of expenses, of 18.06% compared to an investment record of
17.51% for Russell 1000 Growth Index. The Russell 1000 Growth Index does not
include an allowance for the fees or expenses that an investor would pay for
investing in the securities that comprise the Index.
The portion of the Fund's assets managed by Capital Guardian
significantly outperformed the Index for the quarter ended September 30, 2003,
primarily due to good stock selection. This was particularly true within the
producer durables, utilities and healthcare sectors of the Index. The
portfolio's overweight position in the producer durables sector was also
helpful. The portfolio's emphasis on smaller-capitalization companies within
the large-capitalization universe further positively contributed. On the
negative side, specific stocks within the financial sector were the largest
underperformers.
The portion of the Fund's assets managed by Dresdner RCM Global
Investors underperformed the benchmark during the quarter ended September 30,
2003. The underperformance was a result of both stock selection and industry
strategy. Stock selection in consumer durables & apparel and semiconductors &
instruments helped performance. However, this was overshadowed by stock
selection in healthcare providers & services and computers & peripherals,
which detracted from relative performance. With regard to industry strategy, an
71
overweight to consumer durables & apparel and an underweight to media
helped performance. An overweight to pharmaceuticals and an underweight to
semiconductors & instruments were the largest contributors to underperformance
for the third quarter.
The performance of the indexed portion of the Fund for the quarter
was consistent with the performance of the Index after taking into account
fees and expenses.
The portion of the Fund managed by Capital Guardian significantly
outperformed the Index for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 primarily
due to good stock selection. This was particularly true within the consumer
discretionary, producer durables and utilities sectors of the Index. On the
negative side, specific stocks within the integrated oils sector were the
largest underperformers.
The portion of the Fund managed by Dresdner RCM Global Investors
underperformed the benchmark for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.
Both industry strategy and stock selection contributed to the
underperformance. Stock selection in consumer durables & apparel and
pharmaceuticals helped performance, while stock selection in healthcare
equipment & supplies and capital goods hurt performance. Industry strategy was
the biggest cause of underperformance for the nine-month period. Overweight to
pharmaceuticals and underweight to semiconductors & instruments hurt
performance. However, overweight to biotechnology and an underweight to
healthcare equipment & supplies helped returns.
The performance of the indexed portion of the Fund for the nine-month
period was consistent with the performance of the Index after taking into
account fees and expenses.
At September 30, 2003, the most heavily weighted sectors in the
Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund were technology, healthcare and consumer
discretionary, and securities representing the largest holdings based on
market value in the Fund included Pfizer Inc., General Electric Co., Microsoft
Corp., Intel Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc.
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 of companies that State Street Bank and its
investment advisor consider undervalued. 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 Value Equity Fund is actively managed. State Street Bank
has retained Alliance Capital Management L.P., acting through its Bernstein
Investment Research and Management Unit, to serve as investment advisor to
provide investment advice and arrange for the execution of purchases and sales
of securities for the actively managed portion of the Fund. The indexed
portion of the Fund is invested through the State Street Bank and Trust
Company Russell 1000 Value Index Securities Lending Fund, a collective
investment fund maintained by State Street Bank.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Large-Cap Value Equity
Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 2.76%. By comparison, the
Russell 1000 Value Index produced an investment record of 2.06% for the same
period. For the nine months ended
72
September 30, 2003, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses,
of 14.24% compared to an investment record of 13.87% for the Russell
1000 Value Index. The Russell 1000 Value Index does not include an allowance
for the fees or expenses that an investor would pay for investing in the
securities that comprise the Index.
The U.S. stock market rallied further during the quarter ended
September 30, 2003 on increased optimism about the outlook for the economy and
corporate earnings. Economically sensitive stocks led the market, particularly
technology, industrial resources and consumer cyclicals. The spread between
valuations of the cheapest and most expensive stocks has narrowed, and
therefore, so has the value opportunity. No major themes are driving the
markets; rather, value opportunities are spread across sectors. As such,
research-driven stock selection remains vital to outperformance, and indeed
resulted in the outperformance of the actively managed portion of the Fund in
the third quarter. Strength was spread across sectors, as reflected in the top
contributors, which came from the consumer discretionary, materials &
processing, utilities and technology sectors. Retailer holdings, including
Sears, V F Corp and Federated Department Stores, did well during the third
quarter, each posting a double-digit return. With regard to Sears, the company
announced in mid-July that it was selling its credit card division to Citibank
on even more favorable terms than anticipated. Buoyed by growing confidence in
the economy and hopes for asbestos litigation reform, paper companies,
including Georgia Pacific and Smurfit Stone, outperformed. Auto-parts
manufacturers Magna, Dana, Lear and Autoliv also did well, reflecting
continued investor confidence in the economy. In response to continued signs
of a recovery, technology stocks were among the top performers in the third
quarter, and a number of holdings outperformed. Electronic component
distributors Arrow and Avnet, telecommunications equipment manufacturers
Corning and Nortel Networks, and electronic manufacturing services companies
Solectron and Flextronics were among the strongest performers. As with top
contributors, detractors to relative performance came from a variety of
sectors. For example, a position in Hewlett Packard hurt performance; the
stock fell after Hewlett Packard reported depressed earnings. An underweight
of Merrill Lynch, which fared well, and overweights of National City and Qwest
Communications also hurt performance. Finally, the Fund's underweight in
Caterpillar, which posted a 24% increase in the third quarter, detracted from
returns.
The performance of the indexed portion of the Fund for the quarter
was consistent with the performance of the Index after taking into account
fees and expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Fund outperformed
its benchmark. Stock selection in the technology sector was largely
responsible for the outperformance. Most notable was third quarter performance
by telecommunications equipment manufacturers Corning and Nortel Networks, and
electronic manufacturing services companies Solectron and Flextronics. Other
top contributors included Sears, Georgia Pacific and Lear. On the negative
side, Qwest Communications is down year-to-date. Other detractors to
performance included Freddie Mac and Comcast. Freddie Mac has declined since
disclosing accounting issues that resulted in the overstatement of past years'
earnings.
For the indexed portion of the Fund, for the nine month period, the
performance was consistent with the performance of the Index after taking into
account fees and expenses.
73
As of September 30, 2003, the most heavily weighted sectors in the
Large-Cap Value Equity Fund were financial, utilities and energy, and
securities representing the largest holdings in the Fund included Citigroup
Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp., Bank of America Corp., Altria Group Inc., Chevron
Texaco Corp. and Hewlett Packard Co.
Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund
The Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund invests primarily in common stocks and
other equity-type securities issued by companies with market capitalization
between $1 billion and $12 billion at the time of investment that the Fund
believes have a strong earnings growth potential. The Mid-Cap Growth 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. State Street Bank has retained Turner Investment Partners to
serve as investment advisor to provide investment advice and arrange for the
execution of purchases and sales of securities for the Fund.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Mid-Cap Growth Equity
Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 9.56%. By comparison, the
Russell Mid-Cap Growth Index produced an investment record return of 7.16% for
the same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Fund
experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 31.97% compared to an
investment record of 27.24% for the Russell Mid-Cap Growth Index. The Russell
Mid-Cap Growth Index does not include an allowance for the fees or expenses
that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise the
Index.
In the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the bulk of the Fund's
outperformance can be attributed to stock selection in the consumer
discretionary, producer durables and technology sectors. Within consumer
discretionary, underweighting the restaurant issues in favor of toy companies
like LeapFrog and Marvel added to relative performance. In the producer
durables area, the production equipment companies such as Cymer and Lam
Research also contributed positively. Finally, within technology,
overweighting the semiconductor names like National Semiconductor, Agere, and
Jabil Circuit contributed to outperformance. In the autos and transportation
sector, owning Delta instead of JetBlue reduced relative performance. However,
stock selection in the growth-oriented sectors more than offset this drag on
performance.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, most of the Fund's
outperformance of the benchmark can be attributed to stock selection. The
portfolio was sector-neutral to the benchmark; however, there was deviation at
the industry level of the portfolio. The portfolio's outperformance was due in
part to the recent market rally and also to the improvement in earnings
expectations of growth-oriented companies. The Fund's investment approach is
based on the thesis that earnings expectations drive stock prices. Holdings
within the consumer discretionary, producer durables, technology and
healthcare sectors added the most value. Within consumer discretionary,
overweighting companies like Yahoo!, Doubleclick and Electronic Arts
contributed to relative performance. In technology and producer durables,
overweighting the semiconductor and certain equipment names also added
significantly to relative portfolio performance. In the healthcare area,
focusing on bio-pharmaceutical names like Gilead, Scios, Medimmune, and
Invitrogen contributed to relative performance.
74
At September 30, 2003, the most heavily weighted sectors in the
Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund were consumer discretionary, technology and
financial, and securities representing the largest holdings based on market
value in the Fund included KLA Tencor Corp., Lam Research Corp., Fiserv Inc.,
Chiron Corp. and Verisign Inc.
Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund
The Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund invests primarily in common stocks and
other equity-type securities issued by companies with market capitalization
between $1 billion and $12 billion at the time of investment. The Fund invests
primarily in sectors and securities that State Street Bank and its investment
advisor consider undervalued. The Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund seeks to
outperform, over extended periods of time, broad measures of the domestic
stock market. State Street Bank has retained Ariel Capital Management to serve
as investment advisor to provide investment advice and arrange for the
execution of purchases and sales of securities for the Fund.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Mid-Cap Value Equity
Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 3.98%. By comparison, the
Russell Mid-Cap Value Index produced an investment record of 5.94% for the
same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Fund
experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 17.65% compared to an
investment record of 19.83% for the Russell Mid-Cap Value Index. The Russell
Mid-Cap Value Index does not include an allowance for the fees or expenses
that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise the
Index.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, positive contributions
to returns came from holdings in the consumer discretionary & services,
financial services and healthcare sectors of the market. (Interestingly, these
sectors are the same areas that hindered relative performance in the first
quarter.) Companies experiencing a particularly strong third quarter included
Cendant, which benefited from very solid results in its mortgage business;
Interpublic Group, which experienced a positive response to its new management
team and improving results; both Janus Capital Group and Northern Trust, the
businesses of which were buoyed by the rising stock market; and Carnival
Corp., which saw its business recover as concerns over long-term travel trends
eased. Conversely, companies in the consumer staples sector of the market,
most notably Clorox, adversely affected results for the quarter. The long-term
view of the business prospects for Clorox is nonetheless believed to be quite
positive.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, grown stocks fared
better than value stocks, and less financially conservative companies tended
to outperform their more well-established counterparts. These trends were
consistent across the market capitalization spectrum. For instance, the
technology sector strongly outperformed the Index during the period. The Fund
tended to favor more financially conservative issues during the period, and
this adversely impacted performance. Also, holdings in the consumer staples
and producer durables sectors held back performance. On the positive side, the
Fund's consumer discretionary and services issues performed well during the
period.
At September 30, 2003, the most heavily weighted sectors in the
Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund were financial, consumer discretionary and
healthcare, and securities representing the largest holdings based on market
value in the Fund included IMS Health Inc., MBIA Inc., Accenture Ltd.,
Northern Trust Corp. and Baxter International Inc.
Small-Cap Equity Fund
The Small-Cap Equity Fund invests primarily in common stocks and
equity-type securities. It may also invest in preferred stocks and convertible
debt instruments and non-equity securities, including investment grade bonds,
debentures and high quality money market instruments when State Street Bank
deems such investments to be appropriate in light of economic and market
conditions. The Fund seeks to achieve, over an extended period of time,
75
total returns comparable to or superior to those attained by broad measures of
the domestic stock market. State Street Bank has retained Capital Guardian
Trust Company and Sit Investment Associates, Inc. to serve as investment
advisors to provide investment advice and arrange for the execution of
purchases and sales of securities for respective portions of the Small-Cap
Equity Fund's assets.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Small-Cap Equity Fund
experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 6.17%. By comparison, the
Russell 2000 Index produced an investment record of 9.08% for the same period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Fund experienced a total
return, net of expenses, of 23.99% compared to an investment record of 28.58%
for the Russell 2000 Index. The Russell 2000 Index does not include any
allowance for the fees or expenses that an investor would pay for investing in
the stocks that comprise the Index.
The portion of the Fund's assets managed by Capital Guardian
underperformed the Index for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 primarily
due to poor stock selection in financial services, although the portfolio's
underweight position in that sector was helpful. Poor stock selection in the
consumer discretionary and other energy sectors also hurt performance On the
positive side, good stock selection within the producer durables sector was
helpful, as was an overweight in that sector.
The portion of the Fund's assets managed by Sit Investment Associates
underperformed the Index for the third quarter. A holding of cash reserves was
a relatively small component of the underperformance. Almost 90% of the
negative differential in the performance of this portfolio was due to stock
selection and 11% came from sector weighting. Of the stock selection
shortfall, almost 90% occurred in two sectors, health technology and
electronic technology. In the healthcare sector, ten of the 16 stocks held
rose in price in the quarter and seven of them rose by 25% or more. However,
two stocks, CryoLife and Biosite, both declined by more than 40% on
disappointing corporate developments. Biosite's relatively large weight meant
that it accounted for almost 30% of the underperformance as compared to the
Index during the quarter. In the case of the electronic technology sector, no
single company had a major impact and six stocks in the group rose by more
than 20%, but there were several others that experienced declines that
collectively resulted in the sector's overall underperformance in the quarter.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the results of the
portion of the Fund's assets managed by Capital Guardian were below that of
the Russell 3000 Index. Poor stock selection in consumer discretionary was the
largest factor, although underweights of the technology and healthcare
sectors, coupled with poor stock selection in these sectors, also hurt
performance. Also, an overweight position in materials & processing, together
with poor stock selection in this sector detracted from performance. On the
positive side, good stock selection in the producer durables and financial
services sectors helped performance, as did an overweight to producer durables
and an underweight to financial services.
The segment of the Fund's assets managed by Sit Investment
Associates rose strongly in absolute terms for the nine-months September 30,
2003 but underperformed the benchmark. Approximately 1.8 percentage points, or
25%, of the shortfall to the Index was caused by the holding of cash reserves,
which are needed for liquidity purposes, in a stock market environment
76
that was robust. The differential in equity performance versus the Index was
essentially equally split between stock selection and industry weighting
factors. Virtually all of the stock selection underperformance can be
attributed to one sector, healthcare technology, and the two stocks noted
above were among the more negative contributors. The two largest detractors
from performance in terms of industry weightings were overweightings in
process industries and utilities, the Fund's positions in both of which rose
by more than 18% and outperformed their related Index sectors but nonetheless
lagged the Index.
At September 30, 2003, the most heavily weighted sectors in the
Small-Cap Equity Fund were technology, consumer discretionary and materials,
and securities representing the largest holdings based on market value in the
Small-Cap Equity Fund included Cymer Inc., New York Community Bancorp Inc.,
Intersil Inc., Millipore Corp. and Pharmaceutical Research Inc.
Stable Asset Return Fund
The Stable Asset Return Fund invests primarily in investment
contracts issued by insurance companies, banks or other financial
institutions. The Stable Asset Return Fund also invests in high quality money
market instruments, including obligations of the United States government,
notes, bonds and similar debt instruments of corporations, commercial paper,
certificates of deposit and time deposits, bankers' acceptances, variable and
indexed interest notes and repurchase agreements. State Street Bank is sole
manager of the Stable Asset Return Fund. The assets of the Fund are currently
invested in units of the State Street Bank and Trust Company ABA
Members/Pooled Stable Asset Fund Trust, a collective investment fund
maintained by State Street Bank, which in turn invests the high-quality
short-term instruments portion of its assets in The State Street Bank Yield
Enhancement Short Term Investment Fund, a collective investment fund
maintained by State Street Bank.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Stable Asset Return
Fund produced an annualized return, net of expenses, of 3.09%. By comparison,
the Money Fund Report Money Market Fund "Tier One" Average (the "Money Fund
Report Average") for the same period was 0.44% on an annualized basis. A
combination of the Ryan Labs Three Year GIC Index and the Money Fund Report
Average, weighted 70%/30%, respectively, produced an annualized investment
record of 3.17%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Stable
Asset Return Fund produced an annualized return, net of expenses, of 3.26%,
the Money Fund Report Average for the same period was 0.55% and a combination
of the Ryan Labs Three Year GIC Index and the Money Fund Report Average,
weighted 70%/30%, respectively, produced an annualized investment record of
3.64%.
For each of the quarter and the nine-month period, the Fund's strong
performance relative to the Money Fund Report Average was partly attributable
to the longer average maturity of the Fund's portfolio. The Fund's slight
underperformance relative to the combination benchmark resulted from the Fund
generally holding high-quality short-term investments in excess of 30% of the
portfolio, and this portion of the portfolio had lower returns than the portion
invested in investment contracts. Throughout the year the Federal Reserve has
maintained the discount rate at historically low levels and the Fund's overall
return performance continued to trend lower.
