The SPDR Bloomberg International Treasury Bond ETF aims to replicate the price and yield performance of its benchmark, the Bloomberg Global Treasury ex-US Capped Index, before accounting for fees and expenses. This fund provides investors with access to fixed-rate government bonds from highly-rated nations outside the United States, denominated in their respective local currencies.
