- What does SPTB invest in?
- The State Street SPDR Portfolio Treasury ETF (SPTB) is designed to mirror, before its operating expenses, the price and yield performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Index. This cost-effective ETF provides investors with direct access to U.S. Treasury bonds having a remaining maturity of one year or longer. As a component of the low-cost State Street SPDR Portfolio ETFs suite, SPTB is one of several foundational building blocks crafted to offer broad and diversified exposure to key asset classes. For investors aiming to break down the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index ("Agg") into its constituent parts, SPTB serves as an efficient tool to gain focused exposure specifically to the core U.S. Treasuries represented within that broader index.

- State Street SPDR Portfolio Treasury ETF (SPTB) charges an expense ratio of 0.03%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations.
- What is SPTB's dividend yield?
- SPTB's trailing-twelve-month yield is 4.22%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price.
- What is the duration of SPTB?
- Effective duration measures SPTB's sensitivity to interest-rate changes — a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. SPTB's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website.
- What is the credit quality of SPTB?
- SPTB's credit quality breakdown — the share of holdings rated AAA through CCC and below — is published on the fund's factsheet. Higher-quality (investment-grade) funds yield less but carry less default risk than high-yield / junk bond funds.
- What is the yield to maturity of SPTB?
- Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from SPTB if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. SPTB's YTM is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website — it differs from the trailing-12-month yield because YTM reflects current bond prices rather than historical income paid.
