The SPDR S&P Global Dividend Fund seeks to provide investment return, before fees and other costs, that closely correspond to the performance of the S&P Global Dividend Aristocrats Index.

The S&P Global Dividend Aristocrats Index is designed to measure the performance of high dividend-yield companies included in the S&P Global BMI (Broad Market Index) that have followed a managed-dividends policy of increasing or stable dividends for at least ten consecutive years.
