About this ETF
The State Street SPDR S&P Telecom ETF aims to replicate the total return performance of the S&P Telecom Select Industry Index, before accounting for fees and expenses. It offers investors focused exposure to the telecommunications segment of the S&P TMI, covering distinct sub-industries like Alternative Carriers, Communications Equipment, Integrated Telecommunication Services, and Wireless Telecommunication Services. The fund tracks a modified equal-weighted index, which fosters balanced industry representation across large, mid, and small-capitalization stocks. This structure enables investors to make more precise strategic or tactical allocations than traditional, broader sector-based investments.

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.
