The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund strives to offer investment outcomes that are usually consistent with the price and yield performance of the Technology Select Sector Index (the "Index") before expenses(2).

In seeking to track the performance of the index, the fund employs a replication strategy, which means that the fund typically invests in substantially all of the securities represented in the index in approximately the same proportions as the index. It generally invests substantially all, but at least 95%, of its total assets in the securities comprising the index. The fund is non-diversified.

This index, whose components include Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Broadcom, and Cisco, includes stocks primarily focused on internet software and service companies, IT consulting services, semiconductor equipment, computers, and peripherals (1).
