For information regarding conflicts of interest, please visit Morningstar Analyst Rating Morningstar evaluates mutual funds based on five key pillars which its analysts believe lead to funds that are more likely to outperform over the long term on a risk-adjusted basis. The Morningstar Analyst Rating for Funds is a forward-looking analysis of a fund. Morningstar has identified five key areas crucial to predicting the future success of a fund: People, Parent, Process, Performance, and Price. The pillars are used in determining the Morningstar Analyst Rating for a fund. Morningstar Analyst Ratings are assigned on a five-tier scale running from Gold to Negative. The top three ratings, Gold, Silver, and Bronze, all indicate that our analysts think highly of a fund; the difference between them corresponds to differences in the level of analyst conviction in a fund s prospects for outperformance within the context of the level of risk taken over the long term (defined as a full market cycle or at least five years). Neutral represents funds in which our analysts don t have a strong positive or negative conviction over the long term (defined as a full market cycle or at least five years) and Negative represents funds that possess at least one flaw that our analysts believe is likely to significantly hamper future performance over the long term (defined as a full market cycle or at least five years). Past performance of a security may or may not be sustained in future and is no indication of future performance.

The fully replicated SPDR S&P US Dividend Aristocrats offers a portfolio of companies that have long track records of increasing dividends. Companies that consistently increase dividends throughout market cycles tend to have sustainable competitive advantages or have experienced strong growth. However, weighting these stocks by yield gives the portfolio a tilt toward mid-cap and value stocks, which may have greater risk or slower growth in the future. In order to limit risk, this fund selects companies that have increased their dividends for 20 consecutive years. Still, there is no guarantee that they will continue to increase dividends. At the end of 2007, right before the financial crisis, this fund's benchmark allocated nearly 30% of its portfolio towards banks. During the crash, many financial stocks were forced to cut their dividends and were removed from this fund's underlying index. A stock is generally excluded from the index once a year during the annual rebalancing in January. However, a company may be removed during the quarterly rebalancing at the discretion of S&P Dow Jones Indices. This ETF has produced high returns with below-average risk relative to the US Large-Cap Value Equity category, which includes both active and passive funds, over the trailing three- and five-year periods. Over the trailing 10- and 15-year periods, using the fund's benchmark (S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats) less its 0.35% fee as a proxy, we can see that the fund would have also outperformed the category average. Meanwhile, the fund tracks its benchmark tightly, mainly because of favourable withholding-tax differences between the index and the fund and a relatively low fee. SPDR's investment teams take significant advantage of the firm's global reach, technology, and risk management solutions. Its ongoing charge of 0.35% is much lower than the median fee level of 1.67% for the category and is comparable to other ETFs offering exposure to US companies paying dividends.

Dividends allow investors to receive constant cash flows, increasing their personal income. They also gauge the company's financial health as dividend distribution occurs when a company is profitable and generates excess earnings. Regularly paying dividends to shareholders also reduces the chance of corporate management making unprofitable acquisitions. Fundamental Ratios Net Margin % Return on Equity % Return on Assets % Debt to Capital % However, high-yielding stocks can be risky. The highest-yielding stocks have had greater volatility than the broader market because some of these stocks are distressed and may offer an attractive yield as compensation for risk. Dividend yields are quoted on a trailing basis, and a stock that appears to offer an attractive yield may be forced to cut its dividend in the future. Unlike a bond coupon payment, which is a contractual obligation, a stock dividend is paid at the discretion of company management. Companies with high dividend payout ratios may be investing less in the growth of their businesses, and future earnings growth and stock returns might suffer. In addition to dividends, firms can return capital to shareholders through share buybacks, which have become increasingly popular because they give management greater flexibility. On the other hand, dividends force discipline on company management and encourage prudent use of capital. The 12-month dividend yield on stocks in the SPDR S&P Aristocrats was 1.82% as of October This was slightly lower compared with its direct ETF peers, which generally offer yields between 2% and 3%. Dividend funds typically take one of two approaches: They seek out higher-yielding but potentially riskier companies or they target quality companies with a stable, more modest dividend. This fund takes a blend of both. Stocks that have increased their dividend consistently are typically high-quality. Approximately 27% of the SPDR S&P Aristocrats Index is allocated to stocks with wide Morningstar Research Services Economic Moat Ratings, Morningstar's assessment that a stock enjoys a sustainable competitive advantage. That is almost identical to the Russell 1000 Value Index (33.4%) but below other dividend ETFs such as ishares MSCI USA Dividend IQ (59%) and Xtrackers MSCI North America High Dividend Yield (52%). Dividend-oriented funds tend to outperform in stable or declining-rate environments but struggle when interest rates are on an upswing. At times of economic expansion and rising rates, stable dividend-paying stocks tend to generate less investor demand than riskier stocks from cyclical and speculative sectors.

Constituents must also meet a minimum float-adjusted market-cap hurdle ($2 billion) and a liquidity hurdle (an average daily volume of at least $5 million). Stocks that pass these screens are weighted by their indicated annual dividend yield, capped at 4% of the index. The index is reconstituted once a year in January and rebalanced quarterly. Sector exposure can vary widely from the market and over time. The S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index has currently about half of its value allocated to mid- and small-cap stocks versus just 25% for the Russell 1000 Value. It currently has large overweightings in the utilities, consumer defensive, real estate, and basic-materials sectors. Meanwhile, the index is underweight in healthcare and financial services.

The fund owns--to the extent that it's possible and efficient--all the underlying constituents in the same proportion as its benchmark. The fund uses futures for equitisation purposes, which helps limit tracking error. The fund does not engage in securities lending. After a few years with no clear strategy in Europe, SPDR seems to have gotten its act together. The company counts a large pool of experienced professionals across asset classes and is globally renowned as an asset manager. Its most recent ETF efforts in Europe have paid off in terms of assets under management growth, but the firm still has plenty of catching up to do to bring the business up to the same competitive level that it enjoys in the United States. The strength of the brand and its very particular focus on benchmark research and selection could help in this process. Market Capitalization Breakdown Portfolio Date: Avg.

Index funds should provide the returns of their benchmark, less fees. However, during the past three years, this fund has delivered more than that, with a flat annualised tracking difference (fund return less index return) for the period ended September This is mainly because of dividend-withholding tax differences. By virtue of being domiciled in Ireland and the double-tax treaty between Ireland and the United States, this fund enjoys a better withholding tax rate on dividends than the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Net Return Index. Meanwhile, the fund's annualised tracking error has been at or below 0.09%. Other costs carried by the unitholder include trading costs when buy and sell orders are placed for ETF shares, including bid-ask spreads and brokerage fees. Expenses - Annual Report 0.35 ER % Expenses - Prospectus ETP Cat Avg Expense Ratio % Prospectus Date 08/01/2018 Alternatives There are several dividend-enhancing ETFs that offer exposure to the US and North America, including Xtrackers MSCI North America High Dividend Yield (DR) ETF, WisdomTree US Equity Income ETF, and ishares DJ US Select Dividend (DE). Ongoing charges vary between 0.20% and 0.39%. Investors looking to pair a risk-reducing approach with dividends may consider PowerShares S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (ongoing charge of 0.30%). This fund provides exposure to the 50 least-volatile and highest-yielding stocks in the flagship S&P 500. Two other alternatives in the US Large-Cap Value Equity category are Lyxor ETF Russell 1000 Value, which offers exposure to the 1,000 largest U.S. stocks but does not specifically target high-dividend payers, and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000, which uses fundamental indexing. These ETFs are more skewed towards US large-cap value equities compared with the SPDR S&P US Aristocrats.

They consider quantitative and qualitative factors in their research, and the weight of each pillar may vary. The Analyst Rating scale is Gold, Silver, Bronze, Neutral, and Negative. A Morningstar Analyst Rating of Gold, Silver, or Bronze reflects an analyst s conviction in a fund s prospects for outperformance. Analyst Ratings are continuously monitored and reevaluated at least every 14 months.

7 Morningstar Global ETP Report The Morningstar Analyst Rating should not be used as the sole basis in evaluating a fund. Morningstar Analyst Ratings involve unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause Morningstar s expectations not to occur or to differ significantly from what we expected. Morningstar Pillar Ratings Morningstar Pillar Ratings are subjective evaluations of funds performed by manager research analysts of Morningstar. Morningstar evaluates funds based on five key pillars, which are process, performance, people, parent, and price. Morningstar s analysts assign each pillar a rating of Positive, Neutral, or Negative. Morningstar Pillar Scores are then used to help determine the fund s Morningstar Analyst Rating. The Morningstar Pillar Rating should not be used as the sole basis in evaluating a fund. Morningstar Pillar Ratings involve unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause Morningstar s expectations not to occur or to differ significantly from what we expected. Morningstar Star Rating TM The Morningstar Rating TM for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchangetraded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10- year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Performance This graph compares the growth of an investment of 10,000 (in the base currency of the ETP) with that of an index and with that of the average for all ETPs in its Morningstar category. The NAV total returns are not adjusted to reflect the effects of taxation, but they are adjusted to reflect actual ongoing ETP expenses and assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. If adjusted, the effect of taxation would reduce the performance quoted. Please note, while the investor obtaining an ETP through the secondary market does not obtain it at NAV, the purpose in presenting this graph based on NAV is to provide an illustration of the historical performance of the ETP strategy. Morningstar category Morningstar Category is assigned by placing funds into peer groups based on their underlying holdings. The underlying securities in each portfolio are the primary factor in our analysis as the investment objective and investment strategy stated in a fund s prospectus may not be sufficiently detailed for our proprietary classification methodology. Funds are placed in a category based on their portfolio statistics and compositions over the past three years. Analysis of performance and other indicative facts are also considered. If the fund is new and has no portfolio history, Morningstar estimates where it will fall before giving it a permanent category assignment. Categories may be changed based on recent changes to the portfolio. Snapshot Expense Ratio is the prospectus net expense ratio The average daily trading volume is expressed in number of shares. The 12-month yield is derived by summing the trailing 12-months' income distributions and dividing the sum by the last month's ending NAV, plus any capital gains distributed over the same period. Income refers only to interest payments from fixed-income securities and dividend payoffs from common stocks. Distribution Status describes distribution policy for the investment. Capitalising investments are denoted as Acc. (Accumulating shares), while income investments are denoted as Inc. Distribution Frequency is the number of times per year that a ETP intends to make payments from dividends. Generally monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually. The Distribution schedule can be denoted as one of the following: Annually, Monthly, Quarterly, Semi- Annually, Varies, Daily, None, Weekly, Bimonthly, Biweekly, Semimonthly, N/A. Annual Total Returns It depicts performance without adjusting for brokerage commissions and the effects of taxation, but is adjusted to reflect all actual ongoing ETP expenses and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. If adjusted, the effects of brokerage commissions and taxation would reduce the performance quoted. Monthly ETP Flows Estimated share-class level net flow computed using beginning and ending monthly Total Net Assets and monthly total return. Risk Analysis: The risk measures below are calculated for ETPs with at least a three-year history. Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of the volatility of the ETP's NAV returns. Page 7 Arithmetic Mean represents the average monthly return for the period shown. Sharpe Ratio uses standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. Alpha measures the difference between an ETP's NAV returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk as measured by beta. Alpha is often seen as a measure of the value added or subtracted by a portfolio manager. Beta is a measure of an ETP's sensitivity to market movements. A portfolio with a beta greater than 1 is more volatile than the market, and a portfolio with a beta less than 1 is less volatile than the market. R-Squared reflects the percentage of an ETP's movements that is explained by movements in its benchmark index, showing the degree of correlation between the ETP and the benchmark. This figure is also helpful in assessing how likely it is that alpha and beta are statistically significant. Similar to Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio is a measurement of efficiency utilizing the relationship between annualized risk-adjusted return and risk. Unlike Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio utilizes "market" risk (beta) instead of total risk (standard deviation). Good performance efficiency is indicated by a high ratio. The Sortino Ratio is similar to Sharpe Ratio except it uses downside risk (Downside Deviation) in the denominator. It was developed in early 1980's by Frank Sortino. Since upside variability is not necessarily a bad thing, the Sortino ratio is sometimes preferable to the Sharpe ratio. Skewness reflects the degree of asymmetry of a distribution. If the distribution has a longer left tail, the function has negative skewness. Otherwise, it has positive skewness. A normal distribution is symmetric with skewness 0. In lognormal case, the curve has a long right tail so the skewness is positive. Kurtosis indicates the peakedness of a distribution. For normal distribution, Kurtosis is 3. Information ratio is a risk-adjusted performance measure. The information ratio is a special version of the Sharpe Ratio in that the benchmark doesn't have to be the riskfree rate. The Israelson method is an adjustment of the Information Ratio to take into account the inconsistency of the IR when excess returns are negative. Trailing Standard Deviation This bar chart shows the standard deviation of an investment over a one-, three-, and five-year period. The three- and five-year calculations are annualised.? 2018 Morningstar. All Rights Reserved.

8 Morningstar Global ETP Report Drawdown Chart % This graph displays the peak to trough decline since inception of an investment or ETP. It is quoted as the percentage between the peak to the trough. Market Performance Statistics Upside Capture Ratio measures a manager's performance in up markets relative to the category index. It is calculated by taking the security s upside capture return and dividing it by the category index s upside capture return. Downside Capture Ratio measures manager's performance in down markets. A down-market is defined as those periods (months or quarters) in which market return is less than 0. In essence, it tells you what percentage of the down-market was captured by the manager. For example, if the ratio is 110%, the manager has captured 110% of the down-market and therefore underperformed the market on the downside. Max Drawdown is the peak to trough decline during a specific record period of an investment or ETP. It is quoted as the percentage between the peak to the trough. Average Drawdown is the average of yearly Maximum Drawdown measures. This statistic serves as a downside risk measure for the Sterling Ratio, and the industry standard is to calculate this over a three-year period using monthly data. In this case, maximum drawdown measures are calculated for the first 12 months, the next 12 months, and the subsequent 12 months, and the average drawdown is the average of these 3 maximum drawdown numbers. Max Gain is the peak to trough incline during a specific record period of an investment or ETP. It is quoted as the percentage between the trough to the peak. Up Period % is the percentage of the time that the investment has a positive return. Down Period % is the percentage of the time that the investment has a negative return. Best Month is the highest monthly return of the investment since its inception or for as long as Morningstar has data available. Worst Month is the lowest monthly return of the investment since its inception or for as long as Morningstar has data available. Longest Down Streak Return is the return for the longest series of negative monthly returns. Longest Up Streak Return is the return for the longest series of positive monthly returns. Loss Std Dev measures the deviation of negative returns. Gain Std Dev measures the deviation of positive returns. Trailing Total Returns Expressed in percentage terms, Morningstar's calculation of total return is determined each month by taking the change in monthly net asset value, reinvesting all income and capital-gains distributions during that month, and dividing by the starting NAV. Reinvestments are made using the actual reinvestment NAV, and daily payoffs are reinvested monthly. Unless otherwise noted, Morningstar does not adjust total returns for sales charges (such as front-end loads, deferred loads and redemption fees), preferring to give a clearer picture of a ETP's performance. The total returns do account for management, administrative, 12b-1 fees and other costs taken out of ETP assets. Total returns for periods longer than one year are expressed in terms of compounded average annual returns (also known as geometric total returns), affording a more meaningful picture of ETP performance than non-annualized figures. Morningstar Return The Morningstar Return rates a fund s performance relative to other managed products in its Morningstar Category. It is an assessment of a product's excess return over a risk-free rate (the return of the 90-day Treasury Bill) in comparison with the products in its Morningstar category. In each Morningstar category, the top 10% of products earn a High Morningstar Return (High), the next 22.5% Above Average (+Avg), the middle 35% Average (Avg), the next 22.5% Below Average (- Ave), and the bottom 10% Low (Low). Morningstar Return is measured for up to three time periods (three, five, and 10 years). These separate measures are then weighted and averaged to produce an overall measure for the product. Products with less than three years of performance history are not rated. Morningstar Risk Morningstar Risk evaluates a managed product's downside volatility relative to that of other products in its Morningstar category. It is an assessment of the variations in monthly returns, with an emphasis on downside variations, in comparison with the products in its Morningstar category. In each Morningstar category, the 10% of products with the lowest measured risk are described as Low Risk, the next 22.5% Below Average, the middle 35% Average, the next 22.5% Above Average, and the top 10% High. Morningstar Risk is measured for up to three time periods (three, five, and 10 years). These separate measures are then weighted and averaged to produce an overall measure for the product. Products with less than three years of performance history are not rated. Distribution of Monthly Returns The histogram chart displays the monthly total returns of the investment. The x-axis represents the monthly total return in percentage terms, and the y-axis shows the frequency, or number of periods that a given monthly return percentage was observed. For those Fixed Income ETPs Page 8 Annual Income Return % Income return is the portion of the holding period return that is attributed to dividend distributions. This calculation assumes that the investor incurs no transaction fees, pays no taxes at the time of distribution, and reinvests all distributions paid during the period. ETP Credit Quality The credit-quality rating as assigned by Standard & Poor's or Moody's. The ratings are broken down into: AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB, B, Below B and Not Rated. AAA bonds carry the highest credit rating. Coupon Range The coupon rates for the holdings of a portfolio are broken down into 15 groups. The percentage value displayed represents the portfolio's allocation to holdings with coupons in that range. Historical 12-Month Trailing Yield The chart shows the investment's historical trailing 12 month yield over time. The 12 Month Yield is the sum of a ETP s total trailing 12-month interest and dividend payments divided by the last month s ending share price (NAV) plus any capital gains distributed over the same period. Fixed Income Portfolio Statistics The referenced data elements below are a weighted average of the long fixed income holdings in the portfolio. Duration is a time measure of a bond's interest rate sensitivity. Average effective duration is a weighted average of the duration of the underlying fixed income securities within the portfolio. Average effective maturity is a weighted average of all the maturities of the bonds in a portfolio, computed by weighting each maturity date by the market value of the security. Average coupon is generated from the investment's portfolio by weighting the coupon of each bond by its relative size in the portfolio. Coupons are fixed percentages paid out on a fixed-income security on an annual basis. Average price is generated from the investment's portfolio by weighting the price of each bond by its relative size in the portfolio. This number reveals if the investment favours bonds selling at prices above or below face value (premium or discount securities, respectively). A higher number indicates a bias toward premiums. This statistic is expressed as a percentage of par (face) value. Average Credit Quality gives a snapshot of the portfolio's overall credit quality. It is an average of each bond's credit rating, adjusted for its relative weighting in the portfolio. The average is calculated using an exponential? 2018 Morningstar. All Rights Reserved.
