GREAT-WEST FUNDS, INC.
GREAT-WEST S&P SMALL CAP 600® INDEX FUND
Notes to Financial Statements
1.
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Great-West Funds, Inc. (the Great-West Funds) is a Maryland
corporation organized on December 7, 1981 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. Great-West Funds changed its name from Maxim Series Fund, Inc. on
September 24, 2012 and presently consists of sixty-four funds. Interests in the Great-West S&P Small Cap 600
®
Index Fund (the Fund) are included herein and are represented by a separate class of beneficial interest of the Great-West Funds. Effective May 1, 2012, Maxim Index 600 Portfolios name changed to Maxim S&P SmallCap 600
®
Index Portfolio, which subsequently changed to Great-West S&P Small Cap 600
®
Index Fund on September 24, 2012. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that track the total return of the common stocks that
comprise the Standard & Poors SmallCap 600 Stock Index. The Fund is diversified as defined in the 1940 Act. The Fund is available as an investment option for insurance company separate accounts for certain variable annuity contracts
and variable life insurance policies, to individual retirement account custodians or trustees, to plan sponsors of qualified retirement plans, to college savings programs, and to asset allocation funds that are a series of the Great-West Funds.
The Fund offers two share classes, referred to as Initial Class and Class L shares. All shares of the Fund represent an equal pro rata
interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters
affecting only individual classes. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets
represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against operations of that class.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Fund.
Net Asset Value
The net asset value of each class of the Funds shares is determined by
dividing the net assets attributable to each class of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each business day.
Security Valuation
The value of assets in the Fund is determined as of the close of trading on each valuation
date.
Short-term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued
on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Short-term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing
service, may be model priced or priced on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
For securities that are traded on an exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of the principal exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid will be used. For
securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Foreign exchange rates are
determined by utilizing the New York closing rates.
|
Annual Report - December 31, 2012
|
Foreign securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an
independent pricing service.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment
types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are
implemented. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other
security class.

The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the
Funds investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets. The fair value for some Level 2 securities may be
obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes.
Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known
market conditions and other relevant data.
As of December 31, 2012, the inputs used to value the Funds investments are
detailed in the following table. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.

Annual Report - December 31, 2012
|
Futures Contracts are reported at the securitys unrealized appreciation/(depreciation), which
represents the change in the contracts value from trade date.
Risk Factors
Investing in the Fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, the following.
Unforeseen developments in market conditions may result in the decline of prices of, and the income generated by, the securities held by the Fund.
These events may have adverse effects on the Fund such as a decline in the value and liquidity of many securities held by the Fund, and a decrease in net asset value. Such unforeseen developments may limit or preclude the Funds ability to
achieve its investment objective.
Investing in stocks may involve larger price fluctuation and greater potential for loss than other
types of investments. This may cause the securities held by the Fund to be subject to larger short-term declines in value.
The Fund may
have elements of risk due to concentrated investments in foreign issuers located in a specific country. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from future political or economic conditions and/or possible impositions
of adverse foreign governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions. Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers have unique risks not present in securities of U.S. issuers, such as greater price volatility and less liquidity.
Financial Futures Contracts
Upon entering
into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Receipts or payments, known as variation margin, are
made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. When the Fund enters into a closing transaction, it will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference
between the value of the futures contract at the time it was opened or purchased and its value at the time it was closed.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Funds investment adviser has determined
are creditworthy. The Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement
transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Funds ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value
of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
The Fund, along with certain other funds of
the Great-West Funds, may hold repurchase agreement positions as a form of security lending collateral, that are jointly collateralized by various U.S. Government or U.S. Government Agency securities.
Dividends
Dividends from net investment
income of the Fund, if any, are declared and paid semi-annually. Income dividends are reinvested in additional shares at net asset value. Dividends from capital gains of the Fund, if any, are declared and reinvested at least annually in additional
shares at net asset value.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from investments sold are determined on the basis of the first-in, first-out method
(FIFO).
Dividend income for the Fund is accrued as of the ex-dividend date and interest income, including amortization of discounts and
premiums, is recorded daily.
|
Annual Report - December 31, 2012
|
Federal Income Taxes
The Funds policy complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and the Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net
taxable income and net capital gains, if any, each year. The Fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made. Therefore, no federal income taxes or excise tax provision is required.
As of and during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes
interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
The Fund files U.S. Federal and Colorado tax returns. The statute of limitations on the Funds U.S. Federal tax returns remain open for the
fiscal years ended 2009 through 2012. The statute of limitations on the Funds Colorado tax returns remain open for an additional year.
Application of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2011-03
Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements
(ASU
No. 2011-03). ASU No. 2011-03 removes from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring a transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets transferred in a repurchase arrangement. This requirement
was one of the criterions under ASU topic 860 that entities used to determine whether a transferor maintained effective control. Entities are still required to consider all the effective control criterion under ASU topic 860; however, the
elimination of this requirement may lead to more conclusions that a repurchase agreement should be accounted for as a secured borrowing rather than a sale. ASU No. 2011-03 is effective for the interim or annual periods beginning on or after
December 15, 2011. The Fund adopted ASU No. 2011-03 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-03 did not have an impact on the Funds financial position or the results of its
operations.
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2011-04
Fair Value Measurement (Topic
820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs
(ASU No. 2011-04). ASU No. 2011-04 does not extend the use of the existing concept or guidance regarding fair value. It
results in common fair value measurements and disclosures between accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and those of International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU No. 2011-04 expands disclosure requirements for Level
3 inputs to include a quantitative description of the unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation process used and a qualitative description about the sensitivity of the fair value measurements. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for
interim or annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Fund adopted ASU No. 2011-04 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 did not have an impact on the Funds
financial position or the results of its operations.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU
No. 2011-11
Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
(ASU No. 2011-11). ASU No. 2011-11 requires an entity to enhance disclosures about financial and derivative instrument
offsetting arrangements or similar arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for interim or annual periods beginning on
or after January 1, 2013. The Fund will adopt ASU No. 2011-11 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013. At this time, the Fund is evaluating the impact, if any, of ASU No. 2011-11 on the financial statements and related
disclosures.

principal underwriter to distribute and market the Fund. The Fund has entered into a plan of distribution which provides for compensation for distribution of Class L shares and for providing or arranging for the provision of services to Class L
shareholders. The distribution plan provides for a maximum fee equal to an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class L shares. The Distributor has agreed to voluntarily waive all 12b-1 fees attributable to Class L
shares purchased by the Adviser in consideration for the Adviser providing initial capital to the Fund. The amount waived, if any, is reflected in the Statement of Operations.
The total compensation paid to the independent directors with respect to all sixty-four funds for which they serve as Directors was $238,800 for
the year ended December 31, 2012. Certain officers of Great-West Funds are also directors and/or officers of GWL&A or its subsidiaries. No officer or interested director of Great-West Funds receives any compensation directly from Great-West
Funds.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

4. UNREALIZED APPRECIATION
(DEPRECIATION)
At December 31, 2012, the U.S. Federal income tax cost basis was $440,720,656. The Fund had gross appreciation of
securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost of $97,314,285 and gross depreciation of securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value of $49,927,663 resulting in net appreciation of $47,386,622.
5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Fund uses
futures contracts in order for the Fund to hold cash but maintain index returns with the objective of minimizing tracking error versus the benchmark index. Index futures contracts which are most correlated to the benchmark index and exhibit
sufficient liquidity are utilized. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities that comprise the index, or
that the clearinghouse will fail to perform its obligations.

6. SECURITIES LOANED
The Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with its custodian. Under the terms of the agreement the Fund receives income, recorded monthly, after deductions of other amounts payable to the custodian
or to the borrower from lending transactions. In exchange for such fees, the custodian is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Fund against receipt of cash collateral at least equal in value at all times to the value of the securities
loaned plus accrued interest. The Fund also continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. Cash collateral is invested in securities approved by the Board of Directors. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of
collateral available for return to a borrower due to a loss in an approved investment. As of December 31, 2012 the Fund had securities on loan valued at $42,153,430 and received collateral of $43,303,349 for such loan which was invested in
repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government or U.S. Government Agency securities. The repurchase agreements can be jointly purchased with other lending agent clients and in the event of a default by the counterparty, all lending agent
clients would share ratably in the collateral. Additional information regarding the Funds securities on loan is included in the Schedule of Investments.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) for
federal income tax purposes may differ from those reported on the financial statements because of temporary and permanent book and tax basis differences. The differences may include but are not limited to the following: wash sales, distribution
adjustments, adjustments to the accounting treatment of partnerships, adjustments for Passive Foreign Investment Corporation securities and adjustments for Real Estate Investment Trust securities. The differences have no impact on net assets or the
results of operations. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income and/or realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the
timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Fund reclassified permanent book and tax differences of:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Great-West Funds, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of the Great-West S&P Small Cap 600
®
Index Fund (formerly, Maxim Index 600 Portfolio), one of the funds of Great-West Funds, Inc. (formerly, Maxim Series Fund, Inc.) (the Great-West Funds) as
of December 31, 2012, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of Great-West Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). 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. Great-West Funds is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Great-West Funds internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 Great-West S&P Small Cap 600
®
Index Fund of
Great-West Funds, Inc. as of December 31, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in
the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
