SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (BIL)

Overview

The described fund is a financial vehicle that primarily focuses on investments closely aligned with a specified index. This index is dedicated to tracking the performance of short-term public obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury. Specifically, the fund invests in securities and other financial instruments that either are part of this index or possess economic characteristics nearly identical to those securities within the index. By committing at least 80% of its total assets towards these investments, the fund seeks to mirror the index's performance. The index itself encompasses U.S. Treasury obligations with remaining maturities ranging from a minimum of 1 month to less than 3 months, targeting investors interested in short-term government securities.

Products and Services

• Index-based U.S. Treasury Investments

  The fund offers investment opportunities primarily in securities that are part of an index measuring the performance of short-term U.S. Treasury obligations. These investments are suitable for those looking to invest in government securities with maturities of 1 to 3 months, providing a conservative investment avenue with a focus on securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

• Economically Equivalent Securities

  In addition to direct index securities, the fund invests in financial instruments that have economic characteristics substantially identical to those of the index securities. This strategy allows the fund to maintain the desired exposure to the performance of short-term U.S. Treasury obligations, even in cases where direct index constituents might not be the most effective or efficient investment option.
