Description

State Street® SPDR® S&P® U.S. Dividend Aristocrats EUR Hdg UCITS ETF (Dist) tracks the issuer-declared index: S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats EUR Dynamic Hedged Index. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.40%, plus 0.04% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is full physical replication (declared as “Replicated” by the issuer); income is distributed to investors. The fund has assets of about 3.4 billion euro, was launched on 13 June 2019 and is domiciled in Ireland.

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

Investment objective The objective of the Fund is to track the performance of certain equity securities paying high dividends on U. S. stock markets. The Fund seeks to track the performance of the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index (the "Index") as closely as possible. 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. The Fund's maximum exposure to securities lending as a percentage of its Net Asset Value will not exceed 40%. 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. The Shares of the EUR Class are issued in Euro. The Fund is an index tracking fund (also known as a passively managed fund). Any income earned by the Fund will be paid to shareholders in respect of the shares. Investment policies The Fund invests primarily in securities included in the Index. These securities include high-yielding stocks from the U.S. Securities must satisfy diversification, stability and trading requirements and are then weighted according to the size of their dividend. Index Source: The Index is a trademark of S&P Global Inc., or its affiliates, and have been licensed for use by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC ("S&P") and sub-licensed for use to State Street Investment Management ("State Street"). The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by S&P, its affiliates, or its third party licensors. Please see the Prospectus for the full index disclaimer. Although the Index is generally well diversified, to enable the Fund to track the Index accurately, the Fund will make use of the increased diversification limits available under the UCITS Regulations, which permit it 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 seeks to hold all the securities of the Index with the approximate weightings as in that Index. The Fund will use a replication strategy to create a near mirror-image of the Index. In limited circumstances the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the Index. This EUR Hedged Class is made available to reduce exchange rate fluctuations between the currency of this Share Class and the currency in which the underlying assets of the Fund are denominated. The Share Class will be hedged back to EUR and consequently should more closely track the corresponding hedged version of the Index (S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index).

Currency-hedged share class: our figures are computed on the issuer’s NAV, where the hedge is applied at the daily fixing. Comparison sites using the exchange price may show returns and volatility that differ by 1–2 points: on hedged classes the price-vs-NAV gap is structurally wider and grows with the length of the window. Not a data error — a measurement convention. Details in the methodology.

Drawdown — distance from previous peak

This isn’t the return: it shows how far the fund is below its previous peak. 0% = you’re at the peak; below zero = how much you’re down and haven’t recovered yet.

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.
Issuer-declared series with dividends reinvested: the total performance, comparable with accumulating funds. Switch it off to see the price (NAV) alone, which drops at every dividend payment.
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. Tracking difference was positive in 4 of the last 7 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.
