State Street’s GX Private Equity Index Shows Fund Distributions Continue to Outpace Capital Drawdowns, Driving the Quarterly Return to 4.2% in the Second Quarter of 2015...

State Street Global Advisors, the asset management arm of State Street Corporation, announced the launch of four advanced beta equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The SPDR MSCI Europe Value Weighted UCITS ETF, SPDR MSCI USA Value Weighted UCITS ETF, SPDR MSCI Europe Small Cap Value Weighted UCITS ETF and SPDR MSCI USA Small Cap Value Weighted UCITS ETF track the MSCI Value Weighted Indicies.

Today’s launch represents one of the industry’s first UCITS advanced beta multi-factor funds combining three factors: low valuation, low volatility and high quality. All three strategies demonstrate increased risk-adjusted returns over a long-term investment horizon when compared to the MSCI World index.

The new ETF, which tracks the BofA Merrill Lynch 0–5 Year EM USD Government Bond ex-144a Index, looks to reflect the performance of short-maturity emerging market government debt issued in US dollars.
