Description

State Street® Global Dividend Spotlight Active Equity UCITS ETF (Acc) is an actively managed ETF: it does not track an index — the declared index (MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index) is a comparison yardstick only. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.45%, plus 0.04% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund. The fund has assets of about 5 million euro, was launched on 8 February 2026 and is domiciled in Ireland.

The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words

Investment objective The objective of the Fund is to generate capital growth over the long term through investment in global equity securities. Investment policies The investment policy of the fund is to outperform the MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index (the "Index") by primarily investing in high dividend yielding global equities. The fund will seek to achieve the objective by using a proprietary active investment strategy. This strategy will apply a fundamentally driven and bottom-up research process to identify companies considered to be trading at a discount to the assessed intrinsic value of the company and the price of its equity security. The fund seeks to construct a balanced global portfolio of 30-40 securities which has the potential to provide excess returns and outperform the Index. The Fund promotes environmental or social characteristics in accordance with SFDR Article 8. These environmental and social characteristics are detailed in the SFDR Annex of the Fund's Supplement. In line with the Fund's promotion of environmental or social characteristics in accordance with SFDR Article 8 the investment policy will also involve screening out securities based on noncompliance with UNGC Principles (relating to environmental protection, human rights, labour standards, anti-corruption), association with Severe ESG Controversies, controversial weapons, civilian firearms, thermal coal, arctic oil & gas exploration, and oil sands extraction and tobacco.For certain industries the Investment Manager applies a maximum percentage thresholds typically based on revenue from production and/or distribution (which can vary depending on whether the issuer is a producer, distributor or service provider). Shareholders will be notified in accordance with the requirements of the Central Bank and the Supplement will be updated accordingly. As the Fund is actively managed and seeks to outperform the Index, its holdings will differ from the Index. The Fund's weighting to securities will be usually set without taking into account the weightings of securities in the Index. The Fund's return will typically differ from and may under perform, the return of the Index. The Fund may use financial derivative instruments (that is, financial contracts whose prices are dependent on one or more underlying assets) in order to manage the portfolio efficiently. Save in exceptional circumstances, the Fund will generally only issue and redeem shares to certain institutional investors. However, shares of the Fund may be purchased or sold through brokers on one or more stock exchanges. The Fund trades on these stock exchanges at market prices which may fluctuate throughout the day. Market prices may be greater or less than the daily net asset value of the Fund. Shareholders may redeem shares on any UK business day (other than days on which relevant financial markets are closed for business and/or the day preceding any such day provided that a list of such closed market days will be published for the Fund on www.ssga.com); and any other day at the Directors' discretion (acting reasonably) provided Shareholders are notified in advance of any such days. Any income earned by the Fund will be retained and reflected in an increase in the value of the shares. The Shares of the USD Class are issued in U.S. Dollar.

Source: SPDR. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available July 2026 — for later days the index stays at the last published value (institutes publish with a few weeks’ lag). The «adjusted for inflation» view expresses value in today’s purchasing power for the selected country; volatility always stays nominal, as elsewhere on the site (deflating it would add artificial swings caused by the monthly cadence of the price index). Past performance is not indicative of future results: these are facts, not a recommendation.

Windows longer than the available price history cannot be computed and are not shown: they will appear on their own as time passes. Computed from the daily NAV series, always in nominal terms. Sharpe and Sortino use the ECB main refinancing rate averaged over the period (last year: 2.25%), weighted by days in force, as the risk-free rate. Same formulas as our public methodology: sample standard deviation annualised over 252 days; Sortino with downside deviation. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
