Description

State Street® SPDR® J.P. Morgan Saudi Arabia Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF (Acc) tracks the issuer-declared index: J.P. Morgan Saudi Arabia Aggregate Index. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.37%, plus 0.00% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is full physical replication (declared as “Replicated” by the issuer); income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund. The fund has assets of about 194 million euro, was launched on 10 December 2024 and is domiciled in Ireland.

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

Investment objective The investment objective of the Fund is to track the performance of liquid, USD-denominated sovereign and quasisovereign instruments and SAR-denominated Sukuk government bonds from Saudi Arabia. The Fund seeks to track the performance of the J.P.Morgan Saudi Arabia Aggregate Index (the "Index") as closely as possible. Investment policies The investment policy of the Fund is to track the performance of the Index (or any other index determined by the Directors from time to time to track substantially the same market as the Index) as closely as possible, while seeking to minimise as far as possible the tracking difference between the Fund's performance and that of the Index. The Index measures the performance of the liquid, USD-denominated sovereign and quasi-sovereign instruments and SAR-denominated Sukuk government bonds from Saudi Arabia. The Index includes USD-denominated fixed-rate, floating and zerocoupon bonds, capitalization/amortizing bonds and bonds with callable, puttable, or convertible features. In addition, SAR-denominated Sukuk government bonds issued after January 1st, 2023 are eligible for inclusion. USD and SAR denominated bonds have to satisfy the minimum amount outstanding criterion of $500 million and $1 billion, respectively. At each month-end, instruments that fall below 6 months to maturity during the upcoming month, will be excluded from the Index. Index constituents may on occasion be rebalanced more often than the Index Rebalance Frequency, if required by the Index methodology, including for example where corporate actions such as mergers or acquisitions affect components of the Index. The Investment Manager and/or Sub-Investment Manager, on behalf of the Fund, will invest using a replication strategy as further described in the "Investment Objectives and Policies – Index Tracking Funds" section of the Prospectus, primarily in the securities of the Index, at all times in accordance with the Investment Restrictions set forth in the Prospectus. The Investment Manager and/or Sub-Investment Manager also may, in exceptional circumstances, invest in securities not included in the Index but that it believes closely reflect the risk and distribution characteristics of securities of the Index. The bond securities in which the Fund invests will be primarily listed or traded on Recognised Markets in accordance with the limits set out in the UCITS Regulations. Details of the Fund's portfolio and the indicative net asset value per share for the Fund are available on the Website daily. Although the Index is generally well diversified, because of the market it reflects it may, depending on market conditions, contain constituents issued by the same body that may represent more than 10% of the Index. In order for the Fund to track the Index accurately, the Fund will make use of the increased diversification limits available under Regulation 71 of the UCITS Regulations. These limits permit the Fund to hold positions in individual constituents of the Index issued by the same body of up to 20% of the Fund's Net Asset Value. 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 Fund does not currently engage in securities lending. The Shares of the USD Class are issued in U.S. Dollar. Index Source: The Index is the intellectual property of the Index provider. The Fund is not sponsored or endorsed by the Index provider. The Index provider does not provide any warranty or accept any liability in relation to any error relating to the Index, including any error in respect of the quality, accuracy or completeness of Index data, and does not guarantee that the Index will be in line with the described Index methodology. Please see the Prospectus for the full index disclaimer.

From month-end NAVs, over the fund’s full history, on the series shown in the chart (dividends reinvested where declared). Deeper colour = larger move.
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.

Tracking difference — issuer-declared

How much the fund returned above (+) or below (−) its index, year by year. It measures the actual deviation: the combined effect of costs (TER and transaction), securities-lending revenue and replication optimisations — which is why it can beat the TER.

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: 2.20%), 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.
