| Investment Objective: |
State Street SPDR Russell 1000 Momentum Focus ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the Russell 1000 Momentum Focused Factor Index. In seeking to track the performance of the Russell 1000 Momentum Focused Factor Index (the "Index"), the Fund employs a sampling strategy, which means that the Fund is not required to purchase all of the securities represented in the Index. The Index is designed to reflect the performance of a segment of large-capitalization U.S. equity securities demonstrating a combination of core factors (high value, high quality, and low size characteristics), with a focus factor comprising high momentum characteristics (the "Factor Characteristics"). To construct the Index, Frank Russell Company (the "Index Provider") utilizes a rules- based multi-factor scoring process that seeks to increase exposure (or "tilt") to companies in the Russell 1000 Index demonstrating the Factor Characteristics. The Russell 1000 Index is a market-capitalization index that measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. |
