Overview

The State Street SPDR EURO STOXX 50 ETF (FEZ) is an International Developed fund managed by State Street Investment Management with $4.35 billion in assets under management. Trading at a price of $68.19, the fund holds an overall rank of #252 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and carries an ETFValuer grade of C with a score of 59.9/100. It charges an expense ratio of 0.29% while offering a dividend yield of 1.19% to income-seeking investors. Within its specific category of 22 ETFs tracked by ETFValuer, the fund's substantial asset size suggests significant investor adoption relative to the broader universe. The combination of a moderate expense ratio and a double-digit dividend yield positions the fund as a cost-effective vehicle for exposure to European developed markets. Its ranking indicates it sits in the lower half of the total tracked universe despite its large asset base. The fund's structure allows investors to access a broad index of European equities through a single, liquid vehicle.

Over the most recent trading day, the fund posted a gain of +0.03%, followed by a +0.01% increase over the one-week period. Monthly returns accelerated to +1.61% over the last month and further expanded to +5.61% over the three-month horizon. Year-to-date performance stands at +6.16%, while the six-month return shows a slight deceleration to +3.10% compared to the three-month pace. The one-year return reached +16.11%, demonstrating a strong recovery or growth trend over the annual timeframe. This momentum extended significantly over the three-year period, where the fund achieved a cumulative return of +63.26%. The data reveals a pattern where short-term fluctuations have given way to substantial long-term appreciation, particularly evident in the three-year figure.

The fund carries a Moderate volatility label and a beta of 1.02, indicating that its price movements generally align with or slightly exceed the broader market's fluctuations. A Sharpe ratio of 0.60 suggests the fund has generated a moderate amount of excess return per unit of risk taken over the measured period. The maximum drawdown of -15.85% reflects the largest peak-to-trough decline experienced by the fund, highlighting the potential for significant temporary losses during market stress. This combination of a beta near unity and a moderate drawdown implies the fund tends to move in tandem with market cycles without extreme amplification of downside risk. Investors should expect returns that track the market closely while accepting the associated volatility inherent in international developed equity exposure. The risk profile suggests a balanced approach where the fund participates in market gains while exposing capital to standard equity market corrections.

FEZ Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is — and average daily volume is 1.5M/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 $4.35B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: FEZ 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.
