In addition to Most Recognized ETF Brand, State Street Global

which underscore our commitment to helping all investors become
better ETF investors, receive recognition from our peers,” said

Global Advisors. “As SPDR ETFs continue to fundamentally change the
way investors and their advisors build and manage portfolios,
providing the tools and resources that help a wide range of
investors understand, evaluate, and use ETFs is critical to the
future of the industry, as not all ETFs are created equally.”

Global ETF Awards were created in 2005 by exchangtradedfunds.com to
