About this ETF
The State Street Ultra Short Term Bond ETF aims to generate current income for investors, while steadfastly upholding capital preservation and offering readily available daily liquidity. This objective is met through a strategic allocation to high-quality, short-duration investments. Overseen by the State Street Active Fixed Income Team, the fund takes a proactive management approach. It strategically incorporates slightly longer-dated securities than typical cash instruments, striving to achieve a superior total return compared to traditional cash vehicles, without sacrificing its conservative risk profile.

Latest News for ULST
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.
