A Leader in ETFs

State Street Global Advisors pioneered the ETF industry in 1993 by launching the very first US-listed ETF, which is still the largest and most actively traded ETF in the world.

Over the last 25 years, we’ve built a worldwide family of ETFs under our SPDR brand that gives investors an effective way to passively access the market segments they need. SPDR has demonstrated stability, reliability and a track record of innovation.

Structured like mutual funds but listed and traded on exchange, ETFs are flexible trading and investment vehicles that allow investors to easily gain exposure to broad market segments. They cover a wide range of asset classes, market capitalisations and sectors.

Today, we manage more than 636 billion US-Dollars in 249 ETFs.¹ Backed by the stability and strength of State Street Global Advisors - one of the largest asset managers in the world, with over 2.78 trillion US-Dollars² of assets under management - the SPDR ETF family benefits from the experience and industry relationships of one of the world’s must trusted institutions.
