Key Features


  • The SPDR® Portfolio Short Term Treasury ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index (the "Index")
  • One of the low cost core SPDR Portfolio ETFs, a suite of portfolio building blocks designed to provide broad, diversified exposure to core asset classes
  • A low cost ETF that seeks to offer precise, comprehensive exposure to U.S. Treasuries that have a remaining maturity between 1 and 3 years
  • May be less sensitive to interest rate fluctuations than vehicles with longer duration, and is market cap weighted and reconstituted on the last business day of the month

  • About this Benchmark


    The Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index is designed to measure the performance of short term (1-3 years) public obligations of the U.S. Treasury. The Index includes all publicly issued U.S. Treasury securities that have a remaining maturity of greater than or equal to 1 year and less than 3 years, are rated investment grade and have $300 million or more of outstanding face value. In addition, the securities must be denominated in U.S. dollars, fixed rate and non-convertible. Securities excluded from the Index include state and local government series bonds, inflation protected public obligations of the U.S. Treasury, commonly known as "TIPS," floating rate bonds and coupon issues that have been stripped from bonds included in the Index. The Index is market capitalization weighted and the securities in the Index are updated on the last business day of each month.

    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.

    Index Change: “Benchmark” reflects linked performance returns of both the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index and the Bloomberg 1-5 Year U.S. Treasury Index. The index returns are reflective of the Bloomberg 1-5 Year U.S. Treasury Index from fund inception until 04/30/2018 and of the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index effective 04/30/2018 to present.

    Purchase Information


    Buying and Selling ETFs

    ETFs are flexible and easy to trade. Investors buy and sell them like stocks, typically through a brokerage account. Investors can also employ traditional stock trading techniques; including stop orders, limit orders, margin purchases, and short sales using ETFs. They are listed on major US Stock Exchanges.

    ETFs are subject to risk similar to those of stocks including those regarding short-selling and margin account maintenance.

    Ordinary brokerage commissions may apply.


    In general, ETFs can be expected to move up or down in value with the value of the applicable index. Although ETF shares may be bought and sold on the exchange through any brokerage account, ETF shares are not individually redeemable from the Fund. Investors may acquire ETFs and tender them for redemption through the Fund in Creation Unit Aggregations only. Please see the prospectus for more details.

    After-tax returns are calculated based on NAV using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

    Performance of an index is not illustrative of any particular investment. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

    Holdings and sectors shown are as of the date indicated and are subject to change. This information should not be considered a recommendation to invest in a particular sector or to buy or sell any security shown. It is not known whether the sectors or securities shown will be profitable in the future.

    Unless otherwise noted all information contained herein is that of the SPDR® Portfolio Short Term Treasury ETF.

    As with all stocks, you may be required to deposit more money or securities into your margin account if the equity, including the amount attributable to your ETF shares, declines.
