About this ETF
The State Street SPDR MSCI USA StrategicFactors ETF endeavors to replicate the overall return performance of the MSCI USA Factor Mix A-Series Capped Index (the "Index") before any fees or expenses are considered. This fund tracks a "Smart Beta" index designed to combine characteristics like low volatility, robust quality, and attractive valuation within a single, integrated strategy. The resulting portfolio aims to offer a lower-volatility approach, giving balanced attention to financially sound and undervalued companies. These multi-factor "smart beta" strategies bridge the divide between active and passive investment management, enabling investors to reassess their market exposures and potentially optimize risk-adjusted returns with greater efficiency.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
