The State Street SPDR MSCI EAFE StrategicFactors ETF is designed to largely replicate the total investment returns of the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Factor Mix A-Series Index, before any deductions for fees and expenses. Its strategy centers on a Smart Beta index that systematically combines companies exhibiting low volatility, high quality, and attractive valuations into a unified approach. This blended methodology seeks to create a portfolio with potentially lower market fluctuations, giving balanced consideration to financially robust and favorably priced firms.
