5 What the Numbers Say Growth in online giving has recently outpaced overall giving up 9.2% YOY. Technology has increased transparency which helps investors determine their ultimate impact. Significantly more women than men donate to charities and do so more often. Female investors actively seek ways to get more traction and bandwidth in framing the conversation on philanthropy. Assets in socially responsible investment (SRI) strategies expanded from $3.7T in 2012 to $6.6T in That s a market share of $1 in every 5$ under professional management in the US. The next generation of investors is more likely to see socially responsible investing as a natural expression of their own values and beliefs. Millennials place a higher value on making an impact and are investing to pursue values over the long term. 62% of investors believe that philanthropy is important to educate the next generation on family values and legacy why the wealth exists, how to respect it and how to use it wisely. Strategic philanthropy is a way to engage younger generations, through shared values and responsible development. Source: SSGA, as of CAM

9 Women: More likely to Donate than Men and to Donate More Baby Boomer and older women give 89% more to charity than men their age. And women in the top 25% of permanent income give 156% more than men in that same category. One woman, who graduated from NYU with a degree in game design, became head of her family s donor-advised fund and shifted the focus to advancing women providing grants for women in the area of science, technology, engineering and math, and specifically coding. Being in the field herself, she saw how few women had chosen the same path. She hoped to make a difference with her philanthropy.

18 The Investment Case for Gender Diversity 18

19 Executive Summary SHE is Leadership SHE seeks investment in companies with higher levels of senior leadership gender diversity SHE is the ticker symbol for the SPDR SSGA Gender Diversity ETF SHE tracks a proprietary index of listed US large-capitalization companies (out of the largest 1,000) that are leaders within their respective sectors in advancing women through gender diversity on their boards of directors and in senior leadership SHE is Influence SHE may inspire conversation and action to increase gender equality in company leadership teams SHE is Impact Representing our commitment to the future of women in leadership, SSGA will direct a portion of the SHE revenue to SHE Impacts (a donor- advised fund) to support charities that seek to remove bias and empower young girls and women to take their place in business leadership Source: SSGA Hunt, Vivian, et al. Diversity Matters. McKinsey & Company. February The methodology used in MSCI s and McKinsey s studies is different than that of the index, and as such, the results of the study should not be viewed as indicative of future performance of the index or SHE. Return on equity is not representative of the performance of any investment or the potential return of any ETF. 19

20 Why Gender Diversity Matters to Investors Research has shown that companies with strong female leadership have performed better (as measured by return on equity) than those without a critical mass of female leaders 1 Return on Equity 7.4% Firms without a Critical Mass of Female Leaders % Firms with Strong Female Leadership +36.4% Higher Return on Equity for companies with strong female leadership compared to companies without a critical mass of women at the top According to a 2015 MSCI study of 4,200 public companies¹ Return on equity is not representative of the performance of any investment or the potential return of any ETF The methodology used in MSCI s study is different than that of the index, and as such, the results of the study should not be viewed as indicative of future performance of the index or SHE For the purposes of the study, MSCI defined strong female leadership as having a board of directors with at least three women, which research suggests comprises a critical mass for decision-making influence, or a percentage of women that s higher than average in the company s country. 1 Lee, Linda-Eling, et al. Women on Boards: Global Trends in Gender Diversity on Corporate Boards, MSCI, November Accessed on February 17, at: Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. 20

21 Why Gender Diversity Matters to Investors Research has show that companies that have increased gender diversity amongst their senior leadership have seen gains in profitability 1 Going from having no women in corporate leadership (the CEO, the board, and other C-suite positions) to a 30% female share is associated with: +15% Increase in Profitability 100 bps Increase in Net Profit Margin According to a 2014 Peterson Institute of International Economics study of 21,980 public companies¹ Profitability and increase in profit margin are not representative of the performance of any investment or the potential return of any ETF The methodology used in this study is different than that of the index, and as such, the results of the study should not be viewed as indicative of future performance of the index or SHE 1 Marcus Noland, Tyler Moran, and Barbara Kotschwar Is Gender Diversity Profitable?

25 Exerting Influence Misperceptions still rule at school and in the media By investing in companies with gender-diverse senior leadership, we believe investors may inspire conversations and action to increase gender diversity in company leadership teams 25

26 SHE Details 26

27 Investing with SHE INVESTMENT VIEW GOAL Create a transparent, relatively low-cost vehicle for investors to express their preference for companies with the highest levels within their sectors of gender diversity on their boards of directors and in their senior leadership We believe that female representation at a level which can affect change is important, thus our focus on senior leaders as opposed to company-wide positions We also believe that female representation at the senior leadership level reflects a true commitment to change, as opposed to single figureheads INDEX OBJECTIVE The index is designed to track the performance of US large-capitalization companies that are leaders within their respective industry sectors in advancing women through gender diversity on their boards of directors and in senior leadership positions. The index utilizes transparent rules to identify companies that meet the following criteria: Representation of women at senior management levels assessed relative to their own sectors, and One female that is either CEO, Chairperson, or board member ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES Rules-based approach, not an optimization-based approach Source: SSGA. As of December 31,

28 Investing with SHE As an investment vehicle, investors should consider that SHE: SHE seeks to meet the needs of a wide spectrum of investors, from those seeking large-cap core diversification, to impact investors who share a similar passion for gender diversity awareness and value SSGA s charitable component Invests in companies that demonstrate the highest levels of senior leadership gender diversity relative to other firms within their sector Seeks to minimize divergent sector weights versus the 1,000 largest US companies with the goal of isolating gender diversity as the primary factor exposure SSGA has committed to direct a portion of the SHE revenues to charitable organizations that empower women to take their place in business leadership Source: SSGA. As of December 31,

29 Sector Characteristics Limiting active sector weights is challenging as there is significant variation of gender diversity across sectors Female Leadership Across Sectors (Average, 1/2002 to 9/30/2015) Percentage of Females Represented 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% Director Ratio Board Ratio Senior Manager Ratio Executive Ratio CEO Ratio Chairperson Ratio Source: SSGA, BoardEx, FactSet, as of September 30, Sector characteristics are as of the date indicated, are subject to change, and should not be relied upon as current thereafter.

Donors advise the fund on how they want their donations to be used; funds generally comply with donors requests, but they are not obligated to do so. Things not available in previous generations are now commonplace, including today s explosive growth in donor-advised funds. These funds make it so simple and easy to for people to do this kind of gifting. Russell James, Associate Professor- Charitable Planning at Texas Tech University 36

38 Important Risk Disclosures ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETFs net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns. Frequent trading of ETFs could significantly increase commissions and other costs such that they may offset any savings from low fees or costs. Equity securities are volatile and can decline significantly in response to broad market and economic conditions. Non-diversified funds that focus on a relatively small number of [stocks, issuers, countries] tend to be more volatile than diversified funds and the market as a whole. Passively managed funds hold a range of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the full Index in terms of key risk factors and other characteristics. This may cause the fund to experience tracking errors relative to performance of the index. Concentrated investments in a particular industry or sector may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in that industry or sector. Gender Diversity Risk The returns on a portfolio of securities that excludes companies that are not gender diverse may trail the returns on a portfolio of securities that includes companies that are not gender diverse. Companies with large market capitalizations go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. Larger companies tend to be less volatile than companies with smaller market capitalizations. In exchange for this potentially lower risk, the value of the security may not rise as much as companies with smaller market capitalizations. 38
