SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust is an exchange-traded fund which trades on the NYSE Arca under the symbol SPY (NYSE Arca: SPY). The ETF is designed to track the S&P 500 index by holding a portfolio comprising of all 500 companies on the index.[1] It is a part of the SPDR family of ETFs and is managed by State Street Global Advisors.[2] The fund is the largest and oldest ETF in the USA. Legally, the fund is set up as an unit investment trust. It has a net expense ratio of 0.0945%, its CUSIP is 78462F103, and its ISIN is US78462F1030.[2]
Name
[edit]SPDR is an acronym for the Standard & Poor's Depositary Receipts, the former name of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. SPDR is a trademark of Standard and Poor's Financial Services LLC,[3] a subsidiary of S&P Global. The SPDR prefix is also used by other funds in the SPDR family which the ETF is a part of.[4]
History
[edit]The Standard & Poor's Depositary Receipts were launched by Boston asset manager State Street Global Advisors (SSGA) on January 22, 1993, as the first exchange-traded fund in the United States (preceded by the short-lived Index Participation Shares that launched in 1989); and are part of the SPDRs ETF chain.[5][6][7] Designed and developed by American Stock Exchange executives Nathan Most and Steven Bloom,[8][9] the fund first traded on that market, but has since been listed elsewhere, including the New York Stock Exchange.
In February 2024, SPY became the first ETF in history to reach $500 billion in assets under management.[10]
Structure and expiration
[edit]SPY is structured as an unit investment trust (UIT), an investment company that does not have a portfolio manager or board of directors.[11] The trustee of the trust is State Street Global Advisors Trust Company and the sponsor is PDR Services LLC, a subsidiary of the Intercontinental Exchange.[12]
As a result of being structed as an UIT, it cannot exist in perpetuity and must have an expiry date. According to the trust's legal structure, there are 11 millennials living in the United States upon whose lives the life of the trust is pegged. 8 of the 11 individuals chosen had some connection to the employees of the American Stock Exchange who first founded the ETF.[13] SPY will cease to exist on January 22, 2118, or 20 years after the last of the 11 individuals die, whichever comes first.[13][14]
