The major U.S. equity markets generated mixed results while U.S. fixed income markets posted positive total returns. The major international equity markets generated negative total returns. In the U.S., equity markets produced somewhat mixed results with large-cap stocks posting a small total return while mid-cap and small cap stocks posted single-digit negative total returns. During this time period, the market environment was influenced by many positive factors, including higher corporate earnings, rising dividends, and generally modest increases in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Moreover, the Federal Reserve maintained an accommodative monetary policy by leaving the Fed Funds Rate unchanged in a target range of 0% to 0.25%, where it remained for the entire 12-month period ended December 31, 2011. However, the market environment was not without its challenges throughout the period. During the year, equity markets were especially volatile due in part to ongoing sovereign debt issues in several European countries, including Greece, Spain, and Italy. Additionally, the equity markets were negatively impacted by the political unrest in the Middle East, the disasters in Japan, and concerns about federal budget issues here in the United States. For the year ended December 31, 2011, large cap stocks (as represented by the S&P 500 ® Index 1 ) posted total returns of 2.11%, while mid-cap stocks (as represented by the Russell Midcap ® Index 2 ) and small cap stocks (as represented by the Russell 2000 ® Index 3 ) posted total returns of –1.55% and –4.18%, respectively. International equities markets, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Free ® Index and the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) ex-U.S. Index, posted negative total returns of –12.14% and –13.71%, respectively, for the year in U.S. dollar terms. Within the MSCI EAFE Free Index, developed European markets like Greece and Austria were among the weakest performing markets, declining –62.77% and –36.43%, respectively, in U.S. dollar terms. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom – the largest country weighting in the MSCI EAFE Free Index at 23.3% – was among the relatively better performing countries in the Index for the year, declining only –2.56% in U.S. dollar terms.

Within the bond markets, U.S. Treasuries gained ground during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2011 with yields declining across all maturities. The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries declined from 3.30% on January 1, 2011, to 1.89% on December 31, 2011. Short-term yields remained low, with 3-month U.S. Treasury yields declining from 0.12% on January 1, 2011, to 0.02% on December 31, 2011 5 . Interest rates were affected by ongoing concerns over the European debt crisis, which helped lift the demand for U.S. Treasuries. Among major fixed income indices, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index provided a total return of 7.84% for the year ended December 31, 2011, while the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index posted a total return of 10.70% for the same time period 6 . While changes in the markets, either positive or negative, are part of investing, State Farm Investment Management Corp. has consistently maintained a long-term, disciplined approach to managing investment risk. We believe individuals increase their chance for investment success by remaining focused on their long-term goals and maintaining an appropriate asset allocation mix 7 .

Message to Shareholders of State Farm Mutual Fund Trust (continued) 2 State Farm Equity Fund Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) Over view Describe the Fund’s investment objective and philosophy. The State Farm Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is sub-advised by Bridgeway Capital Management, Inc. (“Bridgeway”) and Westwood Management Corp. (“Westwood”). Bridgeway and Westwood each mana ge approximately one-half of the Fund’s assets. State Farm Investment Management Corp. monitors the performance of the sub-advisers and the split of the Fund’s portfolio between the sub-advisers. The benchmark for the Fund is the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”). The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. In doing so, the Fund invests primarily in large capitalization stock issued by U.S. companies. Bridgeway defines “large stocks” as the largest 1,000 U.S. companies as measured by market capitalization (stock market worth). Westwood defines large capitalization companies as those companies with market capitalizations greater than $5 billion at the time of purchase. Bridgeway selects stocks using its proprietary, quantitative investment models to identify stocks within the large-cap growth category for the Fund. Growth stocks are those that Bridgeway believes have above a verage prospects for economic growth. Westwood invests in a portfolio of seasoned companies utilizing a value style of investing in which it chooses those stocks that Westwood believes have earnings prospects that are currently undervalued by the market rela tive to some financial measure of worth such as the ratio of price to earnings, price to sales or price to cash flow. Westwood defines seasoned companies as those that generally have been operating for at least three years. Describe the relevant market environment as it related to the Fund for the reporting period. The market environment was influenced by many positive factors including: higher corporate earnings, rising dividends, and generally modest increases in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Moreover, the Federal Reserve maintained an accommodative monetary policy by leaving the Fed Funds Rate unchanged in a target range of 0% to 0.25%, where it remained for the entire 12- month period ended December 31, 2011. However, the market environment was not without its challenges throughout the period. During the fiscal year, equity markets were especially volatile due in part to ongoing sovereign debt issues in several European countries, including Greece, Spain, and Italy. Additionally, the equity markets were negatively impacted by the political unrest in the Middle East, the disasters in Japan, and concerns about federal budget issues here in the United States. Throughout the year, oil and gold prices were volatile. Oil prices began the period at around $91/barrel and rose to around $99/ barrel by the end of December 2011, an increase of 8% for the 12-month period. Gold prices began the period at around $1,421 per troy ounce and increased to around $1,566/oz. by the end of December 2011, an increase of 10% for the 12-month period. Due in part to concerns of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, the U.S. dollar gained against the euro and British pound during the period. For the period January 2011 through December 2011, the U.S. dollar increased by approximately 3% to $1.30/euro. Versus the British pound, the U.S. dollar increased by less than 1% during the period to $1.55/£. The 12-month total return for the S&P 500 Index was 2.11% for the period ended December 31, 2011. The total return for the period reflected an increase in corporate earnings per share for the S&P 500 Index companies of approximately 16%, a contraction of the price/earnings valuation of the S&P 500 Index of approximately –14%, and a dividend return of approximately 2.1%. Growth stocks, as represented by the Russell 1000® Growth Index, produced a total return of 2.64%, which outperformed value stocks, as represented by the Russell 1000® Value Index, which experienced a total return of 0.39% 1 . 1 The Russell 1000 ® Growth Index is an unmanaged market capitalization-weighted index of growth-oriented stocks of the largest U.S. domiciled companies. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher expected growth values.
