SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF

SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF is an exchange-traded fund that provides focused exposure to the U.S. semiconductor industry. The fund seeks to replicate the total return of the S&P Semiconductor Select Industry Index, which represents the semiconductors segment of the S&P Total Market Index and is constructed as a modified equal-weighted benchmark. Today, SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF primarily holds equities of companies involved in semiconductor design, manufacturing, and related equipment and services, with a strong concentration in the information technology sector. By employing a sampling strategy and investing at least 80% of its assets in securities within the index, the fund offers diversified exposure across large, mid, and small capitalization semiconductor companies. Launched in 2006 and domiciled in the United States, SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF is managed by State Street Global Advisors through SSgA Funds Management, Inc., and serves as a targeted vehicle for market participants seeking structured access to the semiconductor segment of the U.S. equity market.
