World’s Largest ETF Maintains Daily Trading Volume of Nearly
$25 Billion
State Street Global Advisors, the asset management business of
State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT), today marked the 25th
anniversary of the first ever US-listed exchange traded fund (ETF),
the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (Symbol: SPY). Launched on January 29,
1993 with $6.5 million in assets, SPY is currently the world’s
largest ETF with more than $302 billion1 in assets and the most
traded security in the world with an average daily trading volume
of $25 billion.

“SPY’s launch paved the way for a breakthrough industry that has
improved access to every asset class and dramatically lowered costs
for investors,” said Jim Ross, chairman of State Street Global
Advisors’ Global SPDR Business and a member of the team that
launched SPY in 1993. “In a relatively brief period of time, ETFs
have fundamentally improved investing while amassing over $4
trillion of assets. Despite this unprecedented growth, the impact
of ETFs during the next 25 years promises to be even more
influential than it has been the last two-plus decades.”
Developed in the wake of the largest single-day stock market
decline in history, SPY was designed to provide investors with
immediate access to a physically-backed, diversified basket of
stocks. The ETF traded over one million shares on the first day of
trading, and assets under management totaled $462 million by the
end of 1993, $1 billion within three years of launch and $100
billion before the fund’s 20th anniversary2.
“For a quarter century and through the volatile markets of 2001
and 2008, SPY has provided investors, advisors and institutions
with unmatched access to US stocks,” said Nick Good, co-head of
State Street Global Advisors’ Global SPDR Business. “While there
are now more than 6,000 ETFs available to investors across the
world, none offer investors the same liquidity or resilience as
SPY.”

Important Risk Information
Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives,
risks, charges and expenses. To obtain a prospectus or summary
prospectus which contains this and other information, call
1-866-787-2257 or visit www.spdrs.com. Read it
carefully before investing.
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.
Investing involves risk including the risk of loss of
principal.
It is not possible to invest in an index.
There can be no assurance that a liquid market will be
maintained for ETF shares. Frequent trading of ETF could
significantly increase commissions and other costs such that they
may offset any savings from low fees or costs.
Passive management and the creation/redemption process can help
minimize capital gains distributions.
While the shares of ETFs are tradeable on the secondary markets,
they may not readily trade in all market conditions and may trade
at significant discounts in periods of market stress.
