        Investment Objective

        The State Street International Equities Index Trust ("the Fund") seeks an investment return that approximates as closely as practicable, before expenses, the performance of the MSCI World ex-Australia Index, with net dividends reinvested.

        About this Benchmark

        The MSCI World ex-Australia Index ("the Index") represents large- and mid-cap stocks across 22 developed markets countries. The Index is an industry benchmark used by professional investors for global equity portfolios.

        Investment Strategy

        The Fund invests in listed international equities from the Index and excludes companies, subject to materiality thresholds identified by MSCI, involved in tobacco and controversial weapons. In managing the Fund, we typically employ a full replication indexing methodology. We will attempt to hold each stock in approximately the same weight as it appears in the Index, while removing excluded securities. Our strategy is to buy and hold securities, trading only when there is a change to the index, investor cash flows, or to reinvest cash from dividend or distribution income, tax reclaims or corporate actions. This approach minimises tracking error and transaction costs due to its low turnover.

        The Fund is suitable for investors seeking capital growth over the long-term through a well-diversified portfolio of international equities.

        Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Performance returns for periods of less than one year are not annualised. The performance figures contained herein reflect Total Returns and are provided on a net and gross of fees basis. Performance figures are calculated using end-of-month exit prices except for the 'Since Inception' return which is calculated using NAV prices for the pre 1 January 2010 period, and end-of-month exit prices thereafter, assume the reinvestment of distributions and make no allowance for tax. Net performance figures are after management and transaction costs. Gross performance figures are before management costs but after transaction costs. Index returns reflect capital gains and losses, income, and the reinvestment of dividends. Index returns are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses. The calculation method for the value added returns may show rounding differences.
