Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4
The State Street SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (the Fund) 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 making dividend payments.
The fund tracks the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index, which selects U.S. stocks that have increased dividends annually for at least 20 consecutive years and weights them by dividend yield subject to a 4% cap per holding. The fund invests at least 80% of assets in index constituents using a sampling strategy, so its portfolio may diverge from the index composition. Holdings are concentrated in financials, utilities, and real estate sectors to the extent the index itself is concentrated in those sectors.

The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.
Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Feb 2026
Mar 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
