The SPDR® Bloomberg Barclays Emerging Markets Local Bond ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Bloomberg Barclays EM Local Currency Government Diversified Index. The Bloomberg Barclays EM Local Currency Government Diversified Index is designed to measure the performance of the fixed-rate local currency sovereign debt of emerging market countries. The Index includes govern-ment bonds issued by countries outside the United States, in local currencies, that have a remaining maturity of one year or more and are rated B3/B-/B- or higher. In addition, the securities in the Index must be fixed-rate and have certain minimum amounts outstanding, depending upon the currency in which the bonds are denominated.
