Elfun International Equity Fund EGLBX

Considering the risks: A principal risk of investing in the Fund is the risk that the value of equity securities may decline. Special risks are associated with investing in foreign securities, including currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments. Securities with different characteristics tend to shift in and out of favor depending upon market and economic conditions. While stocks have historically outperformed other asset classes over the long term, they tend to fluctuate over the short term as a result of factors affecting the individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. These and other risk considerations are discussed in the Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus.

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

Fund Objective

The Elfun International Equity Fund seeks long-term growth of capital and future income by investing principally in foreign securities consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital.

Investment Strategy

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing at least 80% of its net assets under normal circumstances in equity securities, such as common and preferred stocks. The Fund invests primarily (generally at least 65%) in companies located outside the U.S. if at least 50% of its revenues or profits are from business activities located outside the U.S., at least 50% of its assets are located outside the U.S., or the principal trading market for its securities is located outside the U.S. The portfolio managers focus on companies whose security prices it believes do not fully reflect their potential for growth.
