Strategy

SYI.AX was created on 2010-09-28 by SPDR. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on high dividend yield equity. The ETF currently has 410.44m in AUM and 61 holdings. The SPDR MSCI Australia Select High Dividend Yield ETF seeks to closely track, before fees and expenses, the returns of the MSCI Australia Select High Dividend Yield Index.

It also seeks to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on the fund's performance by hedging it to the Australian dollar.
