| Investment Objective: |
State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P Sector Neutral Dividend ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of an index that tracks the performance of publicly traded issuers that have historically followed a policy of increasing or maintaining dividend payments and mirrors the sector weights of the broad exchange-traded U.S. equity securities universe. In seeking to track the performance of the S&P Sector-Neutral High Yield Dividend Aristocrats 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. Under normal market conditions, the Fund generally invests substantially all, but at least 80%, of its total assets in the securities comprising the Index. The Index is designed to measure the performance of companies in the S&P Composite 1500 Index (the "Parent Index") that have followed a policy of increasing or maintaining dividends every year for at least seven consecutive years while maintaining sector weights that correspond to the Parent Index. The Parent Index is designed to measure the performance of the broad exchange- traded U.S. equity securities universe. |
