Newest Select Sector SPDR ETFs Provide Same Sector Exposure With Enhanced Income Potential

State Street Investment Management, the asset management business of State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT), announced today the launch of eleven Select Sector SPDR® Premium Income Funds. Designed to provide investors with the ability to harness sector trends and opportunities while enhancing their potential for current income and helping to reduce the impact of volatility and drawdowns, the Select Sector SPDR Premium Income Funds are the first suite of ETFs to employ a sector-based premium income investment strategy.

“Our sector and industry offerings have served as powerful portfolio building blocks for countless investors for nearly three decades,” said Anna Paglia, Chief Business Officer at State Street Investment Management. “Now with the launch of our Select Sector SPDR Premium Income Suite, investors can implement sector-based strategies that have the potential to provide enhanced income.”

Each new fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in shares of the corresponding Select Sector SPDR Fund (as listed below), and by selling call options on that fund to generate potential additional income. These offerings include:

“We’re thrilled to be expanding on our unmatched leadership in sector investing with the launch of the Select Sector SPDR Premium Income suite. The ability to implement a specific sector tilt while incorporating the potential for enhanced income generation in your portfolio with a single trade is a simple and powerful combination for income-seeking investors,” added Paglia.

State Street has been a pioneer in sector ETFs since launching the world’s first suite of sector ETFs in 1998. With over $325 billion in assets under management, State Street’s global sector ETFs are among the most widely used tools for sector investing worldwide.

Important Risk Information

Investing involves risk including the risk loss of principal.

The whole or any part of this work may not be reproduced, copied or transmitted or any of its contents disclosed to third parties without SSGA’s express written consent.

All information is from SSGA unless otherwise noted and has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but its accuracy is not guaranteed. There is no representation or warranty as to the current accuracy, reliability or completeness of, nor liability for, decisions based on such information and it should not be relied on as such.

The information provided does not constitute investment advice and it should not be relied on as such. It should not be considered a solicitation to buy or an offer to sell a security. It does not take into account any investor's particular investment objectives, strategies, tax status or investment horizon. You should consult your tax and financial advisor.

ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETFs net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.

While the shares of ETFs are tradable on secondary markets, they may not readily trade in all market conditions and may trade at significant discounts in periods of market stress.

Market risk: The Fund's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investing in markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, inflation, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity.

Equity securities may fluctuate in value and can decline significantly in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions.

The Fund is subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of the securities represented by an underlying ETF in which it invests.

Non-diversified funds that focus on a relatively small number of securities tend to be more volatile than diversified funds and the market as a whole.

The Fund is actively managed. The Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, relative value, or potential appreciation of a particular sector, security, commodity or investment strategy may prove to be incorrect, and may cause the Fund to incur losses. There can be no assurance that the Adviser’s investment techniques and decisions will produce the desired results.

The Fund's use of call options involves speculation and can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying stock, index, or other asset, which may be magnified by certain features of the options. The Fund's successful use of call options depends on the ability of the Adviser to forecast market movements correctly. If the Fund were to write (sell) a call option on an index or security based on the expectation that the price of an index or security would fall, but the price were to rise instead, the Fund could be required to sell the underlying asset upon exercise at a price below the current market price. If the Fund is unable to roll or close out the option before it is exercised, the Fund may be required to sell the underlying asset, which may result in increased transaction costs, underinvestment, and the realization of capital gains. When selling a call option, the Fund will receive a premium; however, this premium may not be enough to offset a loss incurred by the Fund if the price of the underlying asset is above the strike price by an amount equal to or greater than the premium. The Fund utilizes FLEX Options guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”). Although unlikely, it is possible the OCC is unable to meet its settlement obligations, which could result in substantial loss for the Fund. FLEX Options may be less liquid than more traditional exchange-traded option contracts.

Returns on investments in stocks of large U.S. companies could trail the returns on investments in stocks of smaller and mid-sized companies.
