SPDR SERIES TRUST SPDR S&P 1500 VALUE TILT ETF

The SPDR® S&P®1500 Value Tilt ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the S&P® 1500 Low Valuation Tilt Index. The S&P 1500 Low Valuation Tilt Index applies an alternative weighting methodology to the S&P Composite 1500 Index so that stocks with relatively low valuations (i.e., relatively "cheap") are overweight relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Index and stocks with relatively high valuations (i.e., relatively "rich") are underweight. The S&P Composite 1500 Index, one of the leading indices of the U.S. equity market, is a capitalization-weighted combination of the large-cap S&P 500 Index, the S&P MidCap 400 Index, and the S&P Small Cap 600 Index.
