The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.25%, plus 0.02% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID.

The fund has assets of about 226 million euro, was launched on 1 September 2020 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 global developed market equities with a higher weighting applied to equities exhibiting low valuation characteristics. The Fund seeks to track the performance of the MSCI World Value Exposure Select Index (the "Index") as closely as possible. The Fund is an index tracking fund (also known as a passively managed fund). Investment policies The Fund invests primarily in securities included in the Index. These securities include stocks that exhibit relatively higher value exposure within the MSCI World Index (which captures large and mid-sized companies across developed markets globally) while also seeking to avoid poor quality companies. The Fund seeks to hold all the securities of the Index with the approximate weightings as in that Index. 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. Index Source: The funds or securities referred to herein are not sponsored, endorsed, or promoted by MSCI, and MSCI bears no liability with respect to any such funds or securities or any index on which such funds or securities are based. The Prospectus contains a more detailed description of the limited relationship MSCI has with State Street Investment Management and any related funds, as well as additional disclaimers that apply to the MSCI indexes. The MSCI indexes are the exclusive property of MSCI and may not be reproduced or extracted and used for any other purpose without MSCI's consent. The MSCI indexes are provided without any warranties of any kind. Please see the Prospectus for the full index disclaimer.

Intended retail investorAlthough 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%. This Fund is intended for investors who plan to stay invested for at least 5 years and are prepared to take on a medium-high level of risk of loss to their original capital in order to get a higher potential return. It is designed to form part of a portfolio of investments. The Fund will use a replication strategy to create a near mirrorimage of the Index. In limited circumstances the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the Index. Further information A copy of the Prospectus and latest annual and semi-annual financial report in English and the latest Net Asset Value per Share are available free of charge upon request from www.ssga.com or by writing to the Fund Manager, State Street Global Advisors Europe Limited, 78 Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland. 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, Practical information Depositary The Fund depositary is State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited.

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 3 of the last 6 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.
