The Strategy seeks to offer diversification across asset classes and market capitalization ranges by investing approximately 70% of the Strategy's assets in U.S. bonds, 15% in U.S. stocks, 7% in global stocks, and 8% in real assets. The Strategy also employs a disciplined rebalancing policy to ensure it remains aligned with its risk profile.
SSGA allocates the Strategy's assets among the asset classes represented in the Strategy's Index, rebalancing the Strategy's exposures monthly.
SSGA may implement the Strategy's asset allocations through investments in investment pools (which may, but will not necessarily, be registered under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) managed or sponsored by SSGA or an affiliate. Because of the unit issuance processes employed by the various underlying investment pools, allocations by the Strategy to certain pools on a given trading day may be invested in such pools at the next trading day’s net asset value per unit. This will result in the portion of the Strategy’s assets being invested in such investment pools being held in cash for the trading day and may result in increased tracking error. This could adversely impact the return to any investor.
The Strategy, or any of the investment pools in which it invests, may hold a portion of its assets in cash and cash instruments, including short-term investment vehicles managed by SSGA or an affiliate. SSGA will not normally enter into foreign currency exchange transactions for the Strategy.
The Strategy's return may not match the return of its Index.
