WIP Profile
The SPDR FTSE International Government Inflation-Protected Bond ETF is designed to provide investors with exposure to a broad range of inflation-linked government bonds from outside the United States. The fund primarily invests in securities that make up the FTSE International Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index, or similar securities determined by the Adviser to have comparable economic characteristics. This strategy ensures that the fund’s investments are closely aligned with its objective of tracking the performance of inflation-protected government bonds globally.
The FTSE International Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index measures the total return performance of government bonds issued by various countries outside the U.S., which are linked to an inflation index. These bonds feature fixed-rate coupon payments adjusted for inflation, providing investors with a hedge against inflation while delivering income. By focusing on these inflation-protected securities, the fund aims to preserve purchasing power and offer stable returns in varying economic conditions.
Under normal circumstances, the SPDR FTSE International Government Inflation-Protected Bond ETF allocates at least 80% of its total assets to the securities that comprise the index, along with other similar securities. This allocation strategy ensures that the fund maintains its exposure to inflation-linked bonds while adhering to its investment objective. The fund’s emphasis on inflation protection and government securities reflects a commitment to providing a stable investment option in international markets.
As a non-diversified fund, the SPDR FTSE International Government Inflation-Protected Bond ETF focuses exclusively on inflation-linked government bonds outside the U.S., without broadening its investments across other asset classes. Managed by State Street Global Advisors, the fund leverages its expertise to navigate the international bond markets effectively, aiming to deliver returns that align with the inflation-protected bond index while mitigating inflation risk for investors.
