SPY gives Australian investors ASX-quoted access, via CHESS Depositary Interests, to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, which holds approximately 500 of the largest US-listed companies and tracks the S&P 500 Index. At 0.09% per year its management fee sits at the lower end of US equity ETFs. The fund is US-domiciled and unhedged, so the AUD/USD exchange rate affects returns. It is heavily weighted toward large US technology companies such as Nvidia, Apple and Microsoft, with information technology around 38% of the portfolio. Distributions are paid quarterly and the dividend yield is approximately 1.0%, reflecting the growth orientation of US large caps. As the underlying trust is one of the largest funds globally, secondary-market liquidity is deep. General information only, not financial advice; consider currency and concentration risk.
