our 401k plan got these in a fund called International and I cant locate any tickers for the SSgA items

35% - SSgA International Alpha Select Securities Lending Series Fund A 30% - GMO International Core Equity Share Class III (GMIEX) 15% - DFA Emerging Markets Value Fund (DFEVX) 15% - DFA International Small Cap Value Fund (DISVX) 5% - SSgA Daily EAFE Index Securities Lending Series Fund Class T

The State Street Daily EAFE Securities Lending Series Fund Series T invests in 3 country/regional funds which together make up the MSCI EAFE Index. Those funds include Europe, Japan, and Pacific Basin ex-Japan. (no mention of what these are)

would anyone know what the SSgA International Alpha and the SSgA Daily EAFE are ?

You can call your broker after the end of the trading day and get values. Don't know why anyone would go into an investment without a complete understanding of it. You investment advisor/broker is not doing their job if they don't educate you fully on risks and rewards. If you are in a company sponsored plan, talk to the person who sold you the investments or helped you allocate your funds.

These are probably comingled trusts. There are no stock symbols for them. They can only be tracked via your 401K website (or perhaps the SSgA institutional site if you have access to that site).

I can guess the SSgA Daily EAFE is simply the MSCI EAFE index. Google says 0.15% expense ratio.

Google says International Alpha is a quant version based on the EAFE. Computer screens decide what to buy from the EAFE universe. 0.48% expense ratio. What the computer screens are and how good they would be? No idea.
