1 The objective of the SPDR FTSE Greater ETF (the Fund ) is to provide investment returns, before fees and expenses, that closely correspond to the performance of the FTSE Greater HKD Index (the Underlying Index ). Investment involves risk. The Underlying Index may experience periods of volatility and decline and the price of units of the Fund ( Units ) is likely to vary or decline accordingly. As the Fund is not actively managed, the Manager will not seek a performance that beats the Underlying Index it tracks or adopt a temporary defensive position when there is a decline in such index. Unless you have entered into a separate agreement with the Manager and other relevant parties, Units can generally only be redeemed in specie (or substantially in specie) through Authorized Participants in large multiples of Redemption Unit blocks. There can be no assurance that active trading of Units will continue to develop on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("SEHK"), and the trading price of Units on the SEHK may differ from the Net Asset Value per Unit. The Fund invests in securities markets that are considered to be emerging markets, which may be subject to special risks including risks relating to liquidity, price volatility, foreign exchange fluctuations and controls, availability of information, taxation, higher operational costs, settlement, less developed legal and regulatory regimes, differing accounting and disclosure standards, government interference, and social, economic and political uncertainties. The investments of the Fund may be concentrated in securities of a single or several issuers, an industry or group of industries, or in a particular jurisdiction or market. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, or changes in specific or general economic or political conditions that affect such issuer, industry, jurisdiction or market may adversely affect the value of securities resulting in price volatility and a negative impact on the securities held by the Fund. The Fund may not be suitable for all investors and you may lose part or all of your investment. Investors should not invest based on this marketing material only. Investors should consider the relevant product features, their own investment objectives, risk tolerance level and other circumstances and seek independent financial and professional advice as appropriate before making any investment decision.
