_______________________________________________________________________________

GLOBAL GROWTH This category includes international stock funds that invest in 
common stocks and other equity securities of companies located primarily 
outside the United States. Compared with domestic stocks, these funds offer 
potentially higher returns, but carry additional risks.

Growth This category includes stock funds designed to pursue long-term 
growth. Balanced and asset allocation funds investing in diversified 
portfolios of bonds, other fixed income securities and money market 
instruments, as well as stocks may also be included. Although stocks 
historically have offered the greatest growth potential, they have fluctuated 
more in price from day to day.

Income This category includes taxable or tax-exempt bond funds. Depending on 
the types of bonds or other fixed income securities in which the funds 
invest, these funds seek to provide a moderate to high level of current 
income, while aiming to preserve an investor's original investment value. 
Stability This category seeks to provide strong safety and stability of 
principal while providing current income. Funds in this category are built 
around high-quality, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 13 
months or less.

FINDING THE RIGHT MIX OF RISK AND RETURN

ELFUN FUNDS
_______________________________________________________________________________

ELFUN GLOBAL FUND

ELFUN TRUSTS
ELFUN DIVERSIFIED FUND

Each investor has a unique notion of what the "right" mix of risk and return 
should be. You may, for example, be an investor who seeks to maintain the 
highest possible degree of stability in your portfolio, and therefore favors 
money market securities. Or, you may be at the opposite end of the spectrum -- 
someone who is willing to accept and tolerate higher degrees of risk in 
exchange for the potential of higher returns offered by stocks. Because 
higher returns generally mean greater price fluctuations and potential loss, 
investment decisions will always revolve around this tradeoff.


ELFUN TAX-EXEMPT FUND

ELFUN INCOME FUND

To help you align your portfolio's particular blend of risk and return 
with your investment preferences, Elfun Funds strives to offer an 
evenly balanced array of investment options.

ELFUN MONEY MARKET FUND

As illustrated at left, each fund in the Elfun family of funds falls into 
a distinct category that is designed to match up with the various stages of 
the risk/return spectrum. Using this guide, you can fashion a diversified 
portfolio to help you achieve your individual investment goals while 
maintaining a level of risk acceptable to you. Through this type of 
approach, Elfun Funds can truly be your core investment program.

                                                   A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

This past year marks some exciting changes at GE Investments.  We have 
devoted significant efforts and resources to improving our customer service 
capabilities.  Our GE Inquiry Center has been expanded to accommodate major 
technology improvements.  Each of our inquiry specialists has undergone 
extensive training in order to provide you with more valuable information.  
In addition, we continue to upgrade our trading areas with the latest 
equipment for trading, news and information  to assure that our analysts stay 
on top of the markets.  In the same spirit of change, you'll note some 
improvements to this year's annual report.  We have organized the report to 
be more interesting and informative for you.  For example, we added helpful 
fund information on the inside front cover to guide you through the report.  
Also, we have expanded our reviews of performance to include more fund 
highlights.

                           PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

[GRAPHIC]
PHOTO OF DALE F. FREY

After weak financial performance in 1994, financial markets rebounded 
tremendously in 1995, especially in the U.S. The Elfun Funds followed this 
trend with Elfun Trusts leading the way in performance with an annual return 
of 39.2%, the 3rd best year for the Fund since 1954.  Elfun Diversified had 
its best year ever, with a 27.1% return, benefiting from the Fund's 
allocation in the U.S. stock market.  The fixed income funds were boosted by 
lower interest rates in 1995, with both Elfun Income (18.2% return) and Elfun 
Tax-Exempt (17.3% return) achieving double digit performance.

          All of the Elfun Funds, except  Elfun Global, outperformed the 
average of their peers' returns for the year, based on calculations by Lipper 
Analytical Services, an independent mutual fund rating service.  
Additionally, the 1995 annual returns of Elfun Trusts and Elfun Money Market 
were in the top 10% of their Lipper peers. 

          The average total returns for each applicable Lipper category, and 
complete details of each fund's performance can be found on various 
performance review pages contained in this annual report.

                              MARKET OVERVIEW

Strong corporate earnings were reported throughout 1995, along with low 
inflation and decreasing interest rates. Merger and acquisition activity 
topped $450 billion for the year and cash flows into equity mutual funds 
exceeded $100 billion, setting records for both measures. These factors drove 
the S&P 500 up 37.6% for the year.

          Bonds recovered after the worst market in history in 1994, reacting 
well to indications of an economy under control. The 1995 returns were 18.5%, 
as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The Lehman Brothers 
Municipal Bond Index, returned 17.5% for the year, a strong performance 
considering that tax reform concerns hovered over the tax-exempt market 
throughout the year.

          International equity market performance, as measured by the MSCI 
EAFE Index, lagged the U.S. equity markets with a return of 11.2% for the 
year.  This underperformance was primarily driven by Japan, where weak 
economic prospects and impending "bad debt" problems at financial 
institutions held Japanese equities to only a 0.7% gain in 1995. European 
markets posted a respectable return of 21.8% for the year. We believe 
European companies continue to represent excellent global values as 
cost-cutting efforts begin to pay off.

                                MARKET OUTLOOK

All in all, 1995 was a terrific year for the financial markets.  Looking 
forward, the potential certainly exists for a short-term market correction 
given current high market valuation levels.  Over the long term however, 
lower interest rates, controlled inflation, and stable economic growth should 
result in a continuation of long-term growth in the financial markets.

          It was a pleasure to serve your investment needs in 1995 and we 
look forward to helping you meet your financial objectives in 1996.

Q
&
A


DAVID CARLSON AND BOB MAC DOUGALL SHARE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY 
FOR THE ELFUN DIVERSIFIED FUND.  DAVE CARLSON MANAGES THE U.S. EQUITY PORTION 
AND BOB MAC DOUGALL MANAGES THE FIXED INCOME PORTION OF THE FUND.  PLEASE REFER 
TO PAGE 7 FOR DAVE'S BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS AND PAGE 28FOR BOB'S BIOGRAPHICAL 
DETAILS.

Q  HOW DID ELFUN DIVERSIFIED PERFORM RELATIVE TO ITS BENCHMARK IN 1995?

A  Elfun Diversified posted a total return of 27.1%. Its peer group of 220 
mutual funds in the Balanced fund category, as tracked by Lipper Analytical 
Services, posted an average return of 25.2%.

Q  WHAT IS THE CURRENT BREAKDOWN IN THE ASSET MIX FOR ELFUN DIVERSIFIED AND HAS 
IT CHANGED RECENTLY?

A  The year-end weightings were as follows: domestic equities 48%, 
international equities 14%, fixed income 32% and cash 6%. We lowered the 
domestic equity weighting and raised the international equity weighting during 
the year.  The U.S. stock market had a significant increase in valuation and 
looks somewhat less attractive than the international equity markets on a 
risk/reward basis.  The cash weighting was increased as well to protect against 
a potential market correction.

Q  HOW DO YOU DECIDE THE WEIGHTS TO HAVE IN EACH ASSET CLASS?

A  We have an asset allocation committee that meets monthly to assess the 
outlook for the financial markets.  They recommend an asset mix for the GE 
Pension Trust and the mutual funds. They employ a number of quantitative 
models and assess qualitative issues in coming up with their recommendations. 
In a year like last year when both the bond and stock markets were moving in 
the same direction, the shifts in weightings are few.  If the markets move in 
opposite directions or in disproportionate magnitudes, we may want to be much 
more active in adjusting the weights.

Q WHAT IS THE OUTLOOK FOR THE ELFUN DIVERSIFIED FUND NEXT YEAR?

A  It may help to think of Elfun Diversified in three pieces.  The domestic 
equity portion follows a growth strategy like Elfun Trusts.  The 
international equity portion follows a global growth strategy like Elfun 
Global (minus the U.S. holdings).  The fixed income portion is a smaller 
version of the Elfun Income Fund.  Please see the Q&A discussions on these 
funds for a more complete description of the outlook for these asset classes.
Going forward, our efforts remain focused on the 
asset allocation decision in order to properly position Elfun Diversified for 
the continuously changing financial markets.

                                          NOTES TO PERFORMANCE (UNAUDITED)

Total returns assume changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends 
and capital gains. Investment returns and principal value on an investment 
will fluctuate and you may have a loss or gain when you sell your shares. 

A portion of the Elfun Tax-Exempt Fund's income may be subject to state, 
federal and/or alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to 
capital gains tax.

The Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks (S&P 500), MSCI World 
Index, Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (LBKL), and the 90 Day U.S. 
Treasury Index (90 day T-bill) are unmanaged indices and do not reflect the 
actual cost of investing in the instruments that comprise each index. The S&P 
500 Index is a composite of the prices of 500 widely held U.S. stocks 
recognized by investors to be representative of the stock market in general. 
The MSCI World Index is a composite of 1,579 stocks of companies in 22 
countries representing the European, Pacific Basin and American regions. The 
MSCI World Index is widely used by global investors. The Lehman Brothers 
Aggregate Bond Index is a composite index of short, medium, and long-term 
bond performance and is widely recognized as a barometer of the bond market 
in general. The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is a composite of 
investment-grade (Baa or greater), fixed-rate municipal bonds with maturities 
greater than two years and is considered to be representative of the 
municipal bond market. The 90 Day U.S. Treasury Index is the average return 
on three month U.S. Treasury Bills. The results shown for the foregoing 
indices assume reinvestment of net dividends or interest.

Broad market index returns are calculated from the nearest month end to the 
Funds' inception date for funds with less than ten years of performance. The 
Donoghue yields represent the average yields of 772 taxable money market 
funds.

The peer universe of funds used in our peer ranking calculation is based on 
the blend of Lipper peer categories, as shown. This blend is the same as the 
category blend used by the Wall Street Journal (except for the Elfun 
Diversified Fund for which we use the specific Lipper peer group and Elfun 
Money Market which is not in the Wall Street Journal). The actual number of 
funds and numerical rankings in these universes could differ since the Wall 
Street Journal excludes certain funds which do not meet their net asset or 
shareholder publication thresholds. Lipper is an independent mutual fund 
rating service located in Summit, Jersey.

General Electric Investment Corporation agreed to limit certain fees and 
expenses of the Elfun Global, Elfun Diversified and Elfun Money Market Fund 
in prior years, as described in detail in the Funds' prospectus. In the 
absence of these limitations, the total returns for the Elfun Global and 
Elfun Diversified Funds would have been lower for the 5 year and since 
inception periods and for the Elfun Money Market Fund, the 5 year and since 
inception period would have been 4.48% and 4.80% respectively.

The Funds' portfolios are actively managed and their composition will vary 
over time. The specific holdings cited throughout the report are for 
illustrative purposes only and may not represent current or future 
investments of the Funds. They are not intended to constitute a 
recommendation to purchase or sell any particular security. See the 
prospectus for complete descriptions of investment objectives, policies and 
permissible investments.

                     NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

(a)    Non-income producing security.

(b)    Pursuant to Rule 144A of Securities Act of 1933, these securities may
       be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to
       qualified institutional buyers. At December 31, 1995, these securities 
       amounted to $1,253, $665 and $6,192 or 0.9%, 0.9% and 2.8% of net 
       assets for the Elfun Global Fund, Elfun Diversified Fund and Elfun 
       Income Fund, respectively.

(c)    Settlement is on a delayed delivery or when issued basis with 
       final maturity to be announced (TBA) in the future.

(d)    Coupon amount represents effective yield.

(e)    Floating rate coupon. The stated rate represents the rate at 
       December 31, 1995.

(f)    Principal only securities represent the right to receive the 
       monthly principal payments on an underlying pool of mortgages. 
       No payments of interest on the pool are passed through to the 
       principal only holder.

(g)    Interest only securities represent the right to receive the 
       monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgages. 
       Payments of principal on the pool reduce the value of the interest 
       only holding.

(h)    Restricted securities. Securities are not registered under the 
       Securities Act of 1933, or have contractual or legal restrictions 
       to resale. Dates of acquisition and costs are shown in parentheses 
       after the titles of the restricted securities.  The Fund does not 
       intend to register these securities and therefore should not bear 
       any costs of registration. These restricted securities are fair 
       valued by officers of the Funds under procedures authorized by the 
       Trustees. At December 31, 1995, the fair value of these restricted 
       securities represented $4,000 or 0.3% of net assets of Elfun Trusts.

(i)    Adjustable rate mortgage coupon. The stated rate represents the rate 
       at December 31, 1995.

(j)    All or a portion of security out on loan.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DECEMBER 31, 1995)

  1. ORGANIZATION OF THE FUNDS

The Elfun Funds (the "Funds") are registered under the Investment Company Act 
of 1940 (as amended) ("the 1940 Act") as diversified, open-end management 
investment companies and are authorized to issue an unlimited number of 
shares. The Funds operate as Employees' Securities Companies (as defined 
in the 1940 Act) and as such are exempt from certain provisions of the 
1940 Act.

  2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:

SECURITY VALUATION AND TRANSACTIONS

Securities for which exchange quotations are readily available are valued at 
the last sale price, or if no sales occurred on that day, at the last quoted 
bid price.  Certain fixed income securities are valued by a dealer or by a 
pricing service based upon a computerized matrix system, which considers 
market transactions and dealer supplied valuations. Valuations for municipal 
bonds are based on prices obtained from a qualified municipal bond pricing 
service; prices represent the mean of the secondary market.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by 
the board of trade or exchange on which they are principally traded.  Options 
traded on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence 
of a sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are 
valued using dealer-supplied valuations.  Forward foreign currency contracts 
are valued at the mean between the bid and the offered forward rates as last 
quoted by a recognized dealer.

Short term investments maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost 
or original cost plus accrued interest, each of which approximates market 
value.

Portfolio positions which cannot be valued as set forth above are valued at 
fair value determined under procedures approved by the Trustees.

Elfun Money Market Fund values its securities using the amortized cost 
method, which values securities initially at cost and thereafter assumes a 
constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Amortized cost 
approximates market value.

Transactions are accounted for as of the trade date.  Cost is determined and 
gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both 
financial statement and federal tax purposes.

The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward 
commitment basis.  Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after 
the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the 
date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time 
the transaction is negotiated. This may increase the risk if the other party 
involved in the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Fund to 
subsequently invest at less advantageous yields. In connection with such 
purchases the Funds are required to hold collateral (cash, U.S. Government 
securities or other liquid, high grade debt obligations) with the Funds' 
custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price, unless  they enter into an 
offsetting contract for the sale of equal securities and value.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

Accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars.  Investment 
securities and other assets and liabilities and purchases and sales of 
investment securities are denominated in foreign currency and translated to 
U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of such 
transactions.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting 
from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations 
arising from changes in market prices of securities held.  Such fluctuations 
are included with the 



                                       -50-



<PAGE>

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DECEMBER 31, 1995)


net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.  Reported net 
realized exchange gains or losses from foreign currency transactions 
represent sale of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses between the 
trade date and the settlement date on securities transactions, realized gains 
and losses on forward foreign currency contracts, and the difference between 
the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on 
the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually 
received or paid.  Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise 
from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in 
securities at fiscal year end, as a result of changes in the exchange rate.

INCOME TAXES

It is each Fund's policy to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue 
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of 
its taxable income, tax-exempt income, and gains to its shareholders and 
therefore no provision for federal income tax has been made.  Each Fund is 
treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.

Capital loss carryovers are available to offset future realized capital 
gains.  To the extent that these carryover losses are used to offset future 
capital gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be 
distributed to shareholders because they would be taxable as ordinary income. 
At December 31, 1995, the Elfun Income Fund had a capital loss carryover of 
$614,528. The carryforward expires December 31, 2002.

INVESTMENT INCOME

Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of 
non-reclaimable tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date, except for certain 
foreign securities for which corporate actions are recorded as soon as such 
information is available.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  
All discounts and premiums on taxable bonds and premi
ums on tax exempt bonds are amortized to call or maturity date, whichever is 
shorter using the effective yield method. On tax exempt bonds purchased 
before May 1, 1993, only original issue discount is amortized. For tax exempt 
bonds purchased after April 30, 1993, both market discount and original issue 
discount are amortized.

EXPENSES

Expenses of the Funds which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are 
allocated to that Fund.  Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a 
specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into 
consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the 
Funds.  All expenses of the Funds are paid by the Investment Advisor and 
reimbursed by the Funds.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the 
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during 
the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund, Elfun Income Fund and Elfun Money Market Fund 
declare investment income dividends daily (paid monthly).  Elfun Global Fund, 
Elfun Trusts, and Elfun Diversified Fund declare and pay dividends of net 
investment income annually. All Funds declare and pay net realized capital 
gain distributions annually.  The character of income and gains to be 
distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which 
may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.  Reclassifications 
are made to the Portfolios' capital accounts to reflect income and gains 
available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under 
income tax regulations. The calculation of net investment 

                                       -51-



<PAGE>

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DECEMBER 31, 1995)


income per share in the Financial Highlights table excludes these 
adjustments.

FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A forward foreign currency contract ("Forward".) is an agreement between two 
parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The 
market value of the Forward fluctuates with changes in currency exchange 
rates. The Forward is marked-to-market daily and the change in the market 
value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss.  When the 
Forward is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the 
difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the 
time it was closed. The Fund could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is 
unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the value of the currency 
changes unfavorably.  The Fund may enter into Forwards in connection with 
planned purchases and sales of securities, to hedge specific receivables or 
payables against changes in future exchange rates or to hedge the U.S. dollar 
value of portfolio securities denominated in a foreign currency.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Funds' custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for 
investments in repurchase agreements on behalf of the Funds. It is the policy 
of the Funds to value the underlying collateral daily on a mark-to-market 
basis to determine that the value, including accrued interest, is at least 
equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obligation to 
repurchase, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply 
the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.

FUTURES AND OPTIONS

The Funds, other than the Elfun Money Market Fund, may invest in futures 
contracts and may purchase and write options. These investments involve, to 
varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amount 
recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.  The face or contract 
amounts reflect the extent of the involvement the Funds have in the 
particular classes of instruments.  Risks may be caused by an 
imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instruments 
and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates.  
Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid secondary market for the 
instruments, or due to the inability of counterparties to perform.  The Funds 
will invest in these instruments to hedge against the effects of changes in 
value of portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in interest rates 
and/or market conditions, to equitize a cash position, for duration 
management, or when the transactions are economically appropriate to the 
reduction of risk inherent in the management of the Fund involved.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either 
cash or securities in an amount (initial margin) equal to a certain 
percentage of the contract value.  Subsequent payments (variation margin) are 
made or received by the Fund each day.  The variation margin payments are 
equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as 
unrealized gains and losses.  The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss 
when the futures contract is closed.  The Fund will realize a gain or loss 
upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction.  When an option is 
exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost 
for a written put option, or the proceeds on the sale of the security for a 
purchased put or cost of the security for a call option is adjusted by the 
amount of premium received or paid.

SECURITY LENDING

The Funds may loan securities to well known and recognized U.S. and foreign 
brokers and banks and receive a lenders fee. These fees are included in 
interest income. The loans of securities will be collateralized by cash, 
letters of credit or U.S. Government Securities. The collateral will be 
segregated and maintained at all times with the custodian and must be equal 
to the current value of the securities loaned. In the event the counterparty 

                                       -52-

(borrower) does not meet its contracted obligation to return the securities, 
the Fund may be exposed to the risk of loss of reacquiring the loaned 
securities at prevailing market prices.

OTHER

There are certain additional risks involved when investing in foreign 
securities that are not inherent in domestic securities.  These risks may 
involve foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, adverse political and 
economic developments and the imposition of unfavorable foreign governmental 
laws and restrictions.

  3. FEES AND COMPENSATION PAID TO AFFILIATES

ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATION FEES

During 1995 the Funds incurred expenses for the cost of services directed by 
General Electric Company's wholly owned subsidiary, General Electric 
Investment Corporation ("GEIC"), as Investment Advisor and for services GEIC 
rendered as shareholder servicing agent. These expenses are included as 
administrative expenses and shareholder servicing agent fees in the Statement 
of Operations.  The Trustees received no compensation as Trustees for the 
Elfun Funds.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and 
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of 
securities owned as of December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian
 and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used 
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the 
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to 
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the 
Elfun Funds, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets 
and their financial highlights for the aforementioned periods, in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles.
