New equity ETFs from SPDR on Xetra: Access to high-quality companies from the US and worldwide

December 9, 2024-Since Monday, two new exchange-traded funds from State Street Global Advisors have been tradable via Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
The SPDR S&P 500 Quality Aristocrats UCITS ETF measures the performance of U.S. companies with higher quality characteristics than the S&P 500 Index. To do this, the selected companies must first have a positive free cash flow (FCF) over several years.

The 100 companies that have the highest rating of FCF margin and FCF yield on a 5-year average are then selected.

The SPDR S&P Developed Quality Aristocrats UCITS ETF uses the same approach with the S&P Developed LargeMidCap Index as it's main index, investing in 100 large and mid-cap companies from developed markets that have the highest quality rating of FCF margin and FCF return.

These are accumulating share classes in which the returns are reinvested.
