SPDR S&P World ex-US is an open-end investment management company. The SPDR S&P World ex-US ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of an index based upon the developed world (ex-U.S.) equity markets. In seeking this objective, the Fund uses a sampling strategy. As of Sept 30 2015, the Fund's total assets and investment portfolio totaled $764,969,885 and $760,919,731, respectively. The SPDW stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the SPDW stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2015 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the SPDW annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
