Company's Online Profile
FUND DESCRIPTION: SPDR S&P Small Cap Emerging Asia Pacific ETF is an exchange-traded index fund or Index ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of the SPDR Index Shares Fund, an open-end investment management company. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The SPDR S&P Small Cap Emerging Asia Pacific ETF seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return performance of the S&P Asia Pacific Emerging Under USD 2 Billion Index. INDEX DESCRIPTION: The S&P Asia Pacific Emerging Under USD 2 Billion Index is a market capitalization weighted index designed to define and measure the investable universe of publicly traded small-cap companies domiciled in emerging Asian Pacific markets. The Index component securities are a subset, based on market capitalization and region, of component securities included in the S&P Global BMI (Broad Market Index). The S&P Global BMI is a comprehensive, float-adjusted market capitalization weighted, rules-based benchmark that is readily divisible and customizable. A country will be eligible for inclusion in the S&P Global BMI if it is classified as either a developed or emerging market by the S&P Global Equity Index Committee. FUND STRATEGY: Under normal market conditions, the Fund generally invests substantially all, but at least 80%, of its total assets in the securities comprising the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities that are not included in the Index, futures, options, swap contracts and other derivatives, cash and cash equivalents or money market instruments, such as repurchase agreements and money market funds. The Fund uses a passive management, indexing investment approach, and sampling methodology designed to track the total return performance of the Index. The Fund does not intend to purchase all of the securities in the Index, but rather will utilize a sampling methodology in seeking the Fund's objective by purchasing a subset of the securities in the Index in an effort to hold a portfolio of securities with generally the same risk and return characteristics of the Index. The quantity of holdings in the Fund will be based on a number of factors, including asset size of the Fund. The Fund reserves the right to hold as many securities as it believes necessary to achieve the Fund's investment objective. FUND MANAGEMENT: SSgA FM serves as the investment adviser to the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Board, is responsible for the investment management of the Fund.
