About the Fund

The SPDR S&P/ASX 200 Fund, seeks to closely match, before fees and expenses, the returns of the S&P/ASX 200 Index.

The S&P/ASX 200 is recognized as the institutional investable benchmark in Australia. Index constituents are drawn from eligible companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The S&P/ASX 200 is designed to measure the performance of the 200 largest index-eligible stocks listed on the ASX by float-adjusted market capitalisation. Representative, liquid, and tradable, it is widely considered Australia's preeminent benchmark index.

The Indices

Further information on each Index, including past performance, is available on the S&P website at www.indices.standardandpoors.com.

All securities in the Indices are assigned a float factor, called an Investable Weight Factor ("IWF). The IWF ranges between 0 and 1 and is an adjustment factor that accounts for the publicly available shares of a company. A company must have a minimum IWF of 0.3 to be eligible for index inclusion. The company's adjusted market capitalization determines an equity security's relative weight in the index.

The total market value of a company is determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the number of shares available after IWF adjustment.

How we invest your money

The Investment Manager uses a passive investment strategy, investing in a portfolio of securities designed to reflect the characteristics of each Fund's Index. Those securities can include:

• Index constituents;

• Derivative contracts, including exchange traded futures contracts and options over Index constituents, used only in limited circumstances.

The Funds will not take part in securities lending.

Using derivatives

Sometimes, the Investment Manager may use derivatives, such as exchange traded futures contracts and options, to ensure a Fund has enough exposure to its Index and Index constituents. For example, the Investment Manager may use derivatives to:

1. Manage a Fund's exposure to the market during distributions.
2. Gain exposure when a direct investment in a particular security or market is not possible or practical.

Derivatives are only used in limited circumstances and are not used to gear a Fund.
