SPDR Solactive Germany ETF (ZDEU) seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive GBS Germany Large & Mid Cap USD Index NTR, a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that measures the equity market performance of large- and mid-cap companies in Germany. The fund, issued by State Street Global Advisors (SSGA) under the SPDR Index Shares Funds umbrella and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, generally invests substantially all, but at least 80%, of its total assets in the securities comprising the index or depositary receipts based on those securities. Launched on June 12, 2014, it primarily targets institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to the German equity market, with a focus on approximately the largest 85% of free-float market capitalization in the segment; top holdings typically include companies such as Deutsche Telekom AG, Deutsche Bank AG, Siemens AG, and SAP SE. The ETF operates in the financial services sector, specifically asset management within global equities excluding the US, and is listed on NYSE Arca. In a major development, State Street Global Advisors announced the closure and liquidation of the SPDR Solactive Germany ETF, along with several other SPDR ETFs, with operations ceasing and assets distributed to shareholders on or about March 23, 2021, rendering the fund defunct as of August 4, 2022. No subsequent relaunches, acquisitions, partnerships, or new product offerings related to ZDEU have been reported.
