Key Features


  • The SPDR Blackstone Senior Loan ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide current income consistent with the preservation of capital. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund seeks to outperform the Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Leveraged Loan Index (the “Primary Index”) and the Morningstar LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index (the “Secondary Index”) by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in Senior Loans. For purposes of this 80% test, “Senior Loans” are first lien senior secured floating rate bank loans.
  • Access the investment management experience of Blackstone Credit
  • Seeks to provide access to active management in the highly inefficient loan market
  • A Senior Loan is senior to all unsecured claims against the borrower and senior or equal to all other secured claims, meaning that, in the event of a bankruptcy, the Senior Loan, together with other first lien claims, is entitled to be the first to be repaid out of proceeds of the assets securing the loans, before other existing claims or interests receive repayment

About the Primary Benchmark


The Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Leveraged Loan Index is comprised of about 100 of the most liquid, tradable leveraged loans, as identified by Markit’s Loans Liquidity service. Markit is dedicated to utilising its unique datasets on loans to become the premier provider of independent and objective loan indices for trading, product structuring, and benchmarking.


About the Secondary Benchmark


The Morningstar LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index is designed to reflect the largest facilities in the US leveraged loan market. It mirrors the market-weighted performance of the largest institutional leveraged loans based upon market weightings, spreads, and interest payments. The index consists of 100 loan facilities drawn from a larger benchmark, the Morningstar LSTA (Loan Syndications and Trading Association) Leveraged Loan Index (LLI).

Because ETFs trade like stocks at current market prices, shareholders may pay more than a fund’s NAV when purchasing fund shares and may receive less than a fund’s NAV when selling fund shares.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be higher or lower than that quoted. Performance of an index is not illustrative of any particular investment.  All results are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Performance returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.  Performance is shown net of fees.

Index returns are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses. Index returns reflect all items of income, gain and loss and the reinvestment of dividends and other income as applicable.

The market price used to calculate the Market Value return is the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund's NAV is calculated. If you trade your shares at another time, your return may differ.
