Overview
The State Street SPDR EURO STOXX 50 ETF (FEZ) is an International Developed fund managed by State Street Investment Management with $4.35 billion in assets under management. Priced at $67.69, the fund holds an overall rank of #260 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of C with a score of 59.1. It charges an expense ratio of 0.29% while offering a dividend yield of 1.21%. The fund operates within a category containing 22 ETFs tracked by ETFValuer, placing it in the middle tier of its specific sector peers. Its substantial asset base suggests significant investor adoption relative to smaller funds in the International Developed space. The combination of a moderate expense ratio and a double-digit dividend yield defines its current cost and income profile for investors.
Over the last trading day, the fund posted a gain of +0.74% before slipping slightly by -0.04% over the one-week period. Monthly returns accelerated to +1.12% and continued to strengthen over the three-month horizon with a +5.43% return. The six-month performance showed a +3.81% gain, while year-to-date returns reached +5.38%. The one-year return expanded significantly to +14.23%, and the three-year cumulative return stands at +56.06%. This trajectory indicates a pattern where short-term fluctuations were followed by sustained growth over the longer annual and multi-year horizons. The data shows a clear divergence between the modest short-term movements and the robust long-term appreciation recorded over the past three years.
FEZ carries a Moderate volatility label and a beta of 1.02, indicating that its price movements generally align with or slightly exceed the broader market's fluctuations. A Sharpe ratio of 0.50 suggests the fund has generated a moderate amount of excess return per unit of risk taken over the measured period. The maximum drawdown of -15.85% highlights the potential for significant temporary losses during market downturns. This combination of a beta near unity and a moderate drawdown implies the fund experiences standard market sensitivity without extreme amplification of losses. Investors should expect the fund to participate fully in market upswings while facing comparable downside pressure during corrections.

Based on the fund's current trailing yield, which varies with price and distributions — treat it as an estimate, not a guarantee. Yields are not adjusted for tax.
FEZ Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 2.00% and average daily volume is 1.5M/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $4.35B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: FEZ is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
