The State Street Australian Equities Index Trust ("the Fund") seeks an investment return that approximates as closely as practicable, before expenses, the performance of the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index.
The S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index ("the Index") represents the 200 largest, publicly listed entities in the Australian equity market by float adjusted market capitalisation. The Index is recognised as one of the most systematically important financial benchmarks in Australia.1
In managing the Fund, our primary investment approach is full replication of the Index. The goal of the indexed strategy is to mirror the returns and characteristics of the underlying benchmark. As a result, we will attempt to hold each stock in the benchmark in approximately the same weight as it appears in the Index. 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 and returns consistent with the broader Australian equity market.

Prior to 31 January 2013 the performance benchmark for the Fund was the S&P/ASX All Australian 200 Accumulation Index. 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 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.
