SPDR S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries ETF

About this ETF

In seeking to track the performance of the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index, the SPDR S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Fund employs a sampling strategy, which means that the Fund is not required to purchase all of the securities represented in the Index. Instead, the SPDR S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Fund may purchase a subset of the securities in the Index in an effort to hold a portfolio of securities with generally the same risk and return characteristics of the Index.
