About this ETF
This State Street SPDR Portfolio Emerging Markets ETF (SPEM) is engineered to closely mirror the overall performance of the S&P Emerging BMI Index, prior to accounting for any fees or operational costs. As a cost-effective element within the comprehensive SPDR Portfolio collection, it's part of a series of foundational investment tools crafted to offer extensive and varied access across principal asset categories. Specifically, SPEM endeavors to provide broad investment exposure to stock markets in developing economies, thereby also potentially diminishing the concentrated risks tied to individual nations.

Latest News for SPEM
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.
