The discussion regarding the Underlying Funds of the Fund, within the section of the Prospectus titled "APPENDIX A - UNDERLYING FUNDS" is revised to include the following: |
SPDR Bloomberg Enhanced Roll Yield Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF
The SPDR® Bloomberg Enhanced Roll Yield Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (the "Fund") seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of an index composed of a broad range of commodity exposures. The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg Enhanced Roll Yield Total Return Index (the "Index"). Under normal market conditions, the Fund generally invests substantially all, but at least 80%, of its net assets (plus borrowings, if any), directly or indirectly, in securities and/or other instruments comprising the index it seeks to track or in instruments providing exposure to securities and/or other instruments comprising the index it seeks to track. Prior to any change in this 80% investment policy, the Fund will provide shareholders with 60 days' notice. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily through exposure to commodity-linked derivative instruments based on the Index. The Fund expects to gain exposure to these investments by investing in a wholly-owned subsidiary, an exempted limited company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands ("Subsidiary"). The Fund may, to a lesser extent, invest directly in these instruments. The Fund expects to obtain a substantial amount of its exposure to the investment results of the Index through direct or indirect investments in total return swaps that provide returns similar to the commodity futures contracts in the Index. The Subsidiary and Fund may also invest in other commodity-linked derivative instruments, including futures contracts. The performance of these commodity-linked derivative instruments is expected to correspond to the performance of the Index, without requiring the Fund to invest directly in commodities. The Subsidiary and the Fund may also invest in cash and cash equivalents (including U.S. treasury obligations) or money market instruments (including money market funds advised by SSGA FM), which are intended to provide liquidity, preserve capital, and serve as collateral for the Subsidiary's or Fund's derivative instruments.
The Subsidiary is managed by SSGA Funds Management, Inc. ("SSGA FM" or the "Adviser"), the investment adviser to the Fund, and has the same investment strategy as the Fund. The Fund's investments in the Subsidiary generally provide the Fund with exposure to commodity-linked derivatives instruments within the limits of the federal tax laws, which limit the ability of investment companies like the Fund to invest directly in such instruments. The Fund will not invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in the Subsidiary.
Please see the Fund's Prospectus for additional information at www.ssga.com/spdrs.
