“Low-cost ETFs are attractive to buy and hold investors who want to limit the impact of fees on the long-term performance of their portfolios,” said Sue Thompson, Head of SPDR Americas Distribution at State Street Global Advisors. “With 22 funds across a broad range of asset classes, SPDR Portfolio ETFs are designed to help investors build resilient and diversified portfolios that allow them to keep more of what they earn. In fact, in the last two years, State Street Global Advisors has reduced expense ratios on 20 ETFs across our US line up, demonstrating our commitment to the democratization of investing by delivering institutional quality investment solutions at competitive price points.”

With these cuts the median cost of our SPDR Portfolio ETFs are now 95% less expensive than the median cost of a US-domiciled mutual fund.2

As the ETF marketplace becomes more competitive, investors are keeping an eye on cost as an important component of their total cost of ownership. Our research shows that over the course of a decade, a portfolio invested at the median cost of US-domiciled mutual funds would have given up 8.2% of starting principal to fees.3

“Educating investors and advisors about how ETFs can help to reduce total cost of ownership is a key focus for State Street Global Advisors. We are pleased to be able to make investing in ETFs even more affordable, especially for newer investors who are just getting started and those using ETFs to build a core portfolio. We believe that as the core is typically the largest part of a portfolio, it’s important to use cost-effective solutions over the long term,” Thompson added.

Launched in 2017, the SPDR Portfolio ETF suite is designed to provide investors greater choice in low-cost ETFs. The suite provides exposure to US equity, international equity, and fixed income asset classes to help investors build a diversified core portfolio of stocks and bonds with ETFs priced as low as two basis points. Widely embraced by investors, SPDR Portfolio ETFs have more than $151 billion in assets.4

As the creator of the world’s first ETFs, SPDR’s innovation in ETFs is driven by its commitment to delivering low-cost, efficient solutions for investors and more than 40 years of indexing experience. SPDR Portfolio ETFs are backed by the same team and processes that have made SPDR a leader in ETF investing.
