Will Expand Self-Indexing Capabilities to Provide Access to
Small-and-Large Cap Low Volatility ETFs
State Street Global Advisors (SSGA), the asset management
business of State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT), today announced
that the underlying indices tracked by the SPDR Russell 1000 Low
Volatility ETF (LGLV) and the SPDR Russell 2000 Low Volatility ETF
(SMLV) will be changed, as a result of FTSE Russell’s decision to
terminate, as of December 16, 2016, the Russell 1000® Low
Volatility Index and the Russell 2000 Low Volatility Index.
SSGA is introducing proprietary indices that will replace the
two Russell Indexes that are being terminated. Beginning on or
about December 14, 2016, the name of the SPDR Russell 1000 Low
Volatility ETF (LGLV) will change to the SPDR SSGA US Large Cap Low
Volatility Index ETF (LGLV) and LGLV will seek to track the SSGA US
Large Cap Low Volatility Index. Also beginning on or about December
14, 2016, the name of the SPDR Russell 2000 Low Volatility ETF
(SMLV) will change to the SPDR SSGA US Small Cap Low Volatility
Index ETF (SMLV) and SMLV will seek to track the SSGA US Small Cap
Low Volatility Index. The gross and net expense ratios of both
funds will remain unchanged at 0.12 percent.
“We are excited to leverage our extensive index capabilities, as
well as quantitative driven research, to offer an innovative
solution for investors who seek to mitigate volatility in an
uncertain market,” said Nick Good, co-head of the Global SPDR
business at State Street Global Advisors. “By self-indexing we can
continue to offer proprietary small-and-large cap low volatility
ETFs to our current and future SPDR clients.”

Important Risk Information
ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk,
fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below
the ETFs net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses
will reduce returns.
While the shares of ETFs are tradable on secondary markets, they
may not readily trade in all market conditions and may trade at
significant discounts in periods of market stress.
Returns on investments in stocks of large U.S. companies
could trail the returns on investments in stocks of smaller and
mid-sized companies.
Investments in small-sized companies may involve greater
risks than in those of larger, better known companies. Returns on
investments in stocks of small companies could trail the returns on
investments in stocks of larger companies.
Although subject to the risks of common stocks, low
volatility stocks are seen as having a lower risk profile than
the overall markets. However, a portfolio comprised of low
volatility stocks may not produce investment exposure that has
lower variability to changes in such stocks' price levels.
Passively managed funds hold a range of securities that,
in the aggregate, approximates the full Index in terms of key risk
factors and other characteristics. This may cause the fund to
experience tracking errors relative to performance of the
index.
Non-diversified funds that focus on a relatively small
number of securities tend to be more volatile than diversified
funds and the market as a whole.
Equity securities may fluctuate in value in response to
the activities of individual companies and general market and
economic conditions.
