MyIncome SPDR® active bond ladder ETFs

Retirement. College tuition. A second home. Build a reliable income stream to meet goals and expenses. With actively managed MyIncome ETFs you can pursue higher yields while managing risk and cash drag.

Why active target maturity ETFs

Inefficiencies in fixed income markets are common. This creates opportunities for actively managed ETFs to pursue higher yields than indexed ETFs.

1

Sector allocation Overweighting high-conviction sectors based on the economic outlook and other fundamental macro factors

2

Credit analysis Selecting bonds with attractive characteristics and identifying potential rising stars1 through rigorous bottom-up credit analysis

3

Default risk Avoiding issuers and sectors with deteriorating credit quality outlooks which can lead to defaults or credit rating downgrades

4

Risk management Responding to evolving market conditions by adjusting risk factor exposures like duration and credit spread exposures

5

Cash drag Minimizing the amount of cash drag by more effectively managing the higher levels of cash as the maturity date approaches and portfolio holdings shift increasingly to cash
