- SPDR Portfolio Developed World ex-US ETF (SPDW) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the S&P Developed Ex-U.S. BMI Index. The fund tracks a market-cap-weighted index comprising publicly traded companies domiciled in developed markets outside the United States, including large-, mid-, and small-cap equities across sectors such as financials, industrials, consumer discretionary, health care, and technology; top holdings include ASML Holding NV, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., AstraZeneca PLC, Nestle SA, Novartis AG, Roche Holding AG, HSBC Holdings PLC, Toyota Motor Corp., SAP SE, and SK Hynix Inc., representing approximately 9.5% of assets with roughly 2,400 total holdings. SPDW offers investors broad, diversified exposure to developed international equities excluding the U.S., with a low expense ratio of 0.03%, semi-annual dividend distributions, and operations listed on the NYSE Arca exchange. Launched on April 20, 2007, and managed by State Street Global Advisors (SSGA), a division of State Street Corporation headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, SPDW previously traded as the SPDR S&P International ETF under the ticker GWL prior to its rebranding on October 16, 2017. The fund's assets under management stand at approximately $31 billion, with primary geographic exposure to Europe (e.g., Netherlands, Switzerland, UK, Germany, France), Asia-Pacific (e.g., Japan, Australia), and Canada. In August 2023, SSGA reduced SPDW's total expense ratio from 0.04% to 0.03% as part of enhancements to its low-cost SPDR Portfolio ETF suite, positioning it among the lowest-cost offerings in the foreign large-blend category. The index undergoes annual reconstitution in September and quarterly rebalancing to reflect changes in shares outstanding, initial public offerings, new listings, and emerging issues. Recent performance highlights include a 19.27% total return over the past year as of late 2025, driven by strong momentum in international developed markets amid U.S. dollar weakness and attractive valuations relative to the S&P 500.
