Understanding Euro ETFs: Important Information for Professional Investors

Euro Etfs, or Exchange Traded Funds focused on the European market, offer professional investors a gateway to diversify their portfolios across Europe. These investment vehicles, like all investments, come with inherent risks and regulatory considerations. This document serves as a marketing communication to highlight key aspects professional investors need to understand about Euro ETFs, particularly those within the SPDR ETFs platform, while emphasizing important disclaimers and regulatory information.

It’s crucial to remember that SSGA SPDR ETFs may not be available or suitable for all investors. Their availability is jurisdiction-dependent, adhering to local regulations. Investing in any ETF, including Euro ETFs, involves risk, potentially leading to a loss of principal. Like stocks, ETFs are subject to market fluctuations and may trade at prices above or below their net asset value. Furthermore, brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will impact overall returns.
