Investment strategy
The objective of the State Street SPDR S&P Euro Dividend Aristocrats UCITS ETF is to track the performance of certain high dividend-yielding equity securities issued by companies from within the Eurozone. It aims to do this by tracking the performance of the S&P Euro High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index as closely as possible. The S&P Euro High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index is designed to measure the performance of the 40 highest dividend-yielding Eurozone companies within the S&P Europe Broad Market Index (BMI), as determined in accordance with the Index methodology, that have followed a managed dividends policy of increasing or stable dividends for at least 10 consecutive years.
The Fund aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income, which reflects the return of the MSCI Europe High Dividend Yield ESG Reduced Carbon Target Select Index.
