SPDR EURO STOXX 50 CURRENCY HEDGED ETF (HFEZ) Exchange: NYSE ARCA

DELISTED - In seeking to track the performance of the EURO STOXX 50 Hedged USD Index (the “Index”), the 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 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. The quantity of holdings in the Fund will be based on a number of factors, including asset size of the Fund. Based on its analysis of these factors, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”), the investment adviser to the Fund, may invest the Fund's assets in a subset of securities in the Index or may invest the Fund's assets in substantially all of the securities represented in the Index in approximately the same proportions as the Index. With respect to the securities in the Index which comprise the securities in the EURO STOXX 50 Index, the Fund may invest directly in those securities or indirectly by investing in shares of the SPDR EURO STOXX 50 ETF (the “Underlying Fund”), a separate series of SPDR Index Shares Funds.Under normal market conditions, the Fund generally invests substantially all, but at least 80%, of its total assets in the securities comprising the Index (which may include indirect investments through the Underlying Fund, if any) and in depositary receipts (including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) or Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”)) based on securities comprising the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in equity securities that are not included in the Index (including common stock, preferred stock, and shares of affiliated and unaffiliated investment companies), cash and cash equivalents or money market instruments, such as repurchase agreements and money market funds (including money market funds advised by the Adviser).The Index is a market capitalization weighted index designed to represent the performance of some of the largest companies across components of the 19 EURO STOXX Supersector Indexes, with the currency risk of the component securities hedged against the US dollar on a monthly basis. The EURO STOXX Supersector Indexes are subsets of the EURO STOXX Index. The EURO STOXX Index is a broad yet liquid subset of the STOXX Europe 600 Index, which covers the 600 largest companies in Europe. The Index captures approximately 60% of the free-float market capitalization of the EURO STOXX Total Market Index, which in turn covers approximately 95% of the free float market capitalization of the represented countries. Index composition is reviewed annually and weights are reviewed quarterly. The 50 companies in the Index are selected by first identifying the companies that equal approximately 60% of the free-float market capitalization of each corresponding EURO STOXX Total Market Index Supersector Index. In addition, any stocks that are currently components of the Index are added to the list. From that list, the 40 largest stocks are selected to be components of the Index. In addition, any stocks that are current components of the Index (and ranked 41-60 on the list) are included as components. If there are still less than 50 component stocks, the applicable number of the largest remaining stocks on the list ranked 41 or higher are included as components of the Index. Individual components are capped at a maximum weight of 10% of the Index at each quarterly review. The Index has no limitations on market capitalization of the component stocks, and no limitations on individual country allocations. The Fund's investments will be denominated in foreign currencies, thereby potentially subjecting the Fund to fluctuations in exchange rates between such currencies and the U.S. dollar. The Index applies a methodology to effectively create a “hedge” against such fluctuations by employing a one-month forward rate against the total value of the non-U.S. denominated securities included in the Index. The hedge is reset on a monthly basis. The Index is designed to have higher returns than an equivalent unhedged investment when the component currencies are weakening relative to the U.S. dollar. Conversely, the Index is designed to have lower returns than an equivalent unhedged investment when the component currencies are rising relative to the U.S. dollar.In order to replicate the “hedging” component of the Index, the Fund intends to enter into foreign currency forward contracts designed to offset the Fund's exposure to the component currencies. A foreign currency forward contract is a contract between two parties to buy or sell a specified amount of a specific currency in the future at an agreed upon exchange rate. The Fund's exposure to foreign currency forward contracts is based on the aggregate exposure of the Fund to the component currencies. The Index hedges each foreign currency in the Index back to the U.S. dollar by selling foreign currency forwards at the one-month forward rate. The size and exchange rate of each currency hedge is reset by the Index one time per month. The Fund may also enter into forward currency futures and options, and currency swaps, and may purchase currency structured notes. As of November 30, 2016, a significant portion of the Index comprised companies in the financial sector, although this may change from time to time. As of November 30, 2016, countries represented in the Fund included Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain. As of November 30, 2016, the Index comprised 50 securities.The Index is sponsored by STOXX (the “Index Provider”), which is not affiliated with the Fund or the Adviser. The Index Provider determines the composition of the Index, relative weightings of the securities in the Index and publishes information regarding the market value of the Index.
