The State Street SPDR S&P International Dividend ETF (DWX) is designed to mirror the total return performance of the S&P International Dividend Opportunities Index, before accounting for associated fees and expenses. This underlying index is comprised of the 100 non-U.S. common stocks offering the highest dividend yields, all of which have undergone screening to ensure they meet specific criteria for investment viability and financial stability. To foster diversification and manage risk, the index applies several weighting limitations: no single country or GICS sector can represent more than 25% of the index's total weight, its exposure to emerging markets is capped at 15%, and no individual stock is permitted to exceed a 3% weighting.
