Overview

The State Street SPDR S&P 500 ESG ETF (EFIV) is an ESG-focused fund managed by State Street Investment Management with $1.09 billion in assets under management. It holds an overall rank of #135 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of B with a score of 68.4/100. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.1% and offers a dividend yield of 0.96%. Trading at a price of $71.41, the fund's asset size places it among the larger options within its specific category, which contains 11 ETFs tracked by ETFValuer. This capitalization suggests a moderate level of investor adoption relative to the broader universe of funds. The combination of a low expense ratio and a B-grade rating indicates a cost-efficient structure with solid overall metrics. Its position in the top third of all tracked ETFs reflects a competitive standing despite not being the highest-ranked fund in its specific ESG niche.

Over the last day, the fund posted a gain of +0.37% before slipping -0.22% over the week and declining -0.78% for the month. A recovery began in the third quarter with a +3.73% return, followed by a stronger +7.32% gain over six months. Year-to-date performance stands at +8.13%, while the one-year return has accelerated to +19.70%. The three-year horizon shows significant long-term growth with a cumulative return of +66.80%. This pattern illustrates a divergence where short-term fluctuations were negative, but longer-term trends have been consistently positive. The acceleration from the one-month decline to the one-year gain highlights a sustained upward trajectory over the past year.

EFIV carries a low volatility label and a beta of 0.98, indicating that its price movements generally align closely with the broader market while experiencing slightly less fluctuation. The fund has generated a Sharpe ratio of 1.16, suggesting it has delivered a favorable risk-adjusted return relative to its volatility. However, the maximum drawdown of -19.23% reveals the extent of potential losses during market downturns. This combination of a low beta and a Sharpe ratio above 1.0 implies the fund has managed to generate returns efficiently despite the significant drawdown experienced. The data suggests a profile where the fund tends to move in tandem with the market but with a slightly dampened reaction to extreme swings. Investors should note that while the risk-adjusted metrics are strong, the fund is still subject to substantial drawdowns during adverse market conditions.

EFIV Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 11.39% and average daily volume is 51K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $1.09B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: EFIV is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists.
