RE: SSgA Funds (the "Registrant")
Filing pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933
("1933 Act")
File Nos. 33-19229
811-5430
Dear Mr. Purple:
On behalf of the Registrant, pursuant to Rule 477 of the 1933 Act, we hereby
respectfully request the withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 57, filed on
June 2, 2000 under Rule 485(a) of the 1933 Act. We also request the withdrawal
of Post-Effective Amendments No. 58 and 59, filed on August 4 and September 29,
2000, respectively. The purpose of PEA No. 57 was to create an additional
portfolio of the Registrant, the SSgA StockPower CustomerOwner Fund. The purpose
of PEA Nos. 58 and 59 was to extend for additional 60-day periods the effective
date of PEA No. 57. At this time, the Registrant does not intend to offer this
Fund.
Since the Registrant has filed a Post-Effective Amendment No. 60 for the annual
update of its registration statement, the Registrant will not re-use numbers 57
through 59.
