About this ETF
This State Street SPDR ETF aims to mirror the overall performance of the MSCI World Factor Mix A-Series Index, before accounting for any associated fees or expenses. It accomplishes this by following a "Smart Beta" index that strategically blends various investment factors: low volatility, strong quality characteristics, and attractive valuations, all within a unified methodology. The resulting portfolio aims to provide a strategy with reduced price fluctuations, maintaining an equal focus on financially robust and favorably priced companies. Multi-factor Smart Beta approaches like this one can bridge the divide between active and passive investing, presenting investors with an opportunity to reconsider their market exposures and potentially optimize their risk-adjusted returns with greater efficiency.

No articles mention this fund directly in the last 7 days — showing general ETF coverage.
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.
