Efficient building blocks for a strong core
SPDR Portfolio ETFs provide investors access to a full range of equity and fixed income exposures that can be used to build broad, diversified portfolios.
As the creator of the world’s first ETFs,4 we believe in their power to provide investors low-cost, tax-efficient, transparent tools for asset allocation, one of the leading drivers of portfolio returns.5 This belief drives our approach to low-cost core investing. Designed to deliver what matters to investors, SPDR Portfolio ETFs offer:
Low Cost
SPDR Portfolio ETFs are diversified and tax-efficient equity and fixed income funds, available from as little as 3 basis points, with an average cost of 6 basis points.
Liquidity
We collaborate with capital markets participants and a diverse set of investors to pursue robust liquidity and tight trading spreads in all market environments.
Share Price
We thoughtfully set the share price for each fund as part of our effort to minimize total cost of ownership and make it easy for investors to build comprehensive portfolios.
Benchmark Selection
Our low-cost core ETFs give investors exposure to indices managed by S&P, Bloomberg and other well-known index providers. Building our suite around these index families reduces the chance that investors will have overlapping exposures in their portfolios.
Our continued innovation in ETFs is driven by our commitment to delivering low-cost, efficient solutions for investors and our more than 40 years of indexing experience.
