Investment involves risks. ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETFs net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns. Frequent trading of ETFs could significantly increase commissions and other costs such that they may offset any savings from low fees or costs. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss. Investors should read the prospectus before investing.

The Prospectus in respect of the offer of the units (the "Units") in the SPDR® Straits Times Index ETF (the "Fund") is available and may be obtained upon request, subject to availability, from State Street Global Advisors Singapore Limited ("SSgA", Company Registration number: 200002719D). Investors should read the Prospectus before deciding whether to acquire Units in the Fund. The value of Units and the income from them may fall as well as rise. Units in the Fund are not obligations of, deposits in, or guaranteed by, SSgA or any of its affiliates. An investment in Units is subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. Past performance figures are not necessarily indicative of future performance of the Fund. Investors have no right to request SSgA to redeem their Units while the Units are listed. It is intended that holders of Units may only deal in their Units through trading on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited ("SGX-ST"). Listing of the Units on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units.
