Company's Online Profile
FUND DESCRIPTION: The SPDR (formerly streetTRACKS) Dow Jones Global Titans ETF is an exchange-traded index fund that is a separate portfolio of streetTRACKS(R) Series Trust, a Trust that is an "index fund" consisting of separate investment portfolios. The streetTRACKS Dow Jones Global Titans ETF's investment objective is to replicate as closely as possible, before expenses, the performance of the Dow Jones Global Titans Index. INDEX DESCRIPTION: The Dow Jones Global Titans Index is composed of 50 common stocks, which are chosen by Dow Jones. The stock must, in the opinion of Dow Jones, meet all four of the following criteria to qualify as a candidate for the index: (1) It must be a well established company with a solid financial situation and a broad client base; (2) It must be well known to global investors for either its long history of success or its widely used products or services; (3) It must be a market leader in its industry with either a dominant position or a competitive advantage; (4) It must be among the largest of blue-chip companies in the global arena. FUND STRATEGY: The Fund uses a passive management strategy designed to track the total return performance of the Index. The Fund, using an "indexing" investment approach, attempts to replicate, before expenses, the total return performance of the index. The Adviser seeks a correlation of 0.95 or better between the Fund's performance and the performance of the Index; a figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation. The Fund generally will invest in all of the stocks comprising the index in proportion to the weightings in the index. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of the stocks in the index in those weightings. In those circumstances, the Fund may purchase a sample of the stocks in the index in proportions expected by the Adviser to replicate generally the performance of the index as a whole. There may also be instances in which the Adviser may choose to overweight another stock in the index, purchase (or sell) securities not in the index which the Adviser believes are appropriate to substitute for one or more index components, or utilize various combinations of other available investment techniques, in seeking to track accurately the index. In addition, from time to time stocks are added to or removed from an index. The Fund may sell stocks that are represented in the index, or purchase stocks that are not yet represented in the index, in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the index. The Fund will normally invest at least 95% of its total assets in common stocks that comprise its benchmark index. The Fund has adopted a policy that requires the Fund to provide shareholders with at least 60 days notice prior to any material change in this policy or its underlying Index. The Board of Trustees of the Trust may change a Fund's investment strategy and other policies without shareholder approval, except as otherwise indicated. The Trustees will not change the Fund's investment objective without shareholder approval. FUND MANAGEMENT: The investment advisor of the Fund is SSgA Funds Management, Inc. The administrator and custodian of the streetTRACKS funds is State Street Bank and Trust Co. State Street Global Markets, LLC serves as the distributor for the Fund.
