SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

Note 1 — Organization

 

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is a unit investment trust created under the laws of the State of New York and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust was created to provide investors with the opportunity to purchase a security representing a proportionate undivided interest in a portfolio of securities consisting of substantially all of the component common stocks, in substantially the same weighting, which comprise the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”). Each unit of fractional undivided interest in the Trust is referred to as a “Unit”. The Trust commenced operations on January 22, 1993 upon the initial issuance of 150,000 Units (equivalent to three “Creation Units” — see Note 4) in exchange for a portfolio of securities assembled to reflect the intended portfolio composition of the Trust.

Under the Amended and Restated Standard Terms and Conditions of the Trust, as amended (the “Trust Agreement”), PDR Services, LLC, as sponsor of the Trust (the “Sponsor”), and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”), are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

On November 12, 2013, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (formerly known as IntercontinentalExchange Group, Inc. (“ICE”) announced the completion of its acquisition of NYSE Holdings LLC (the parent company of the Sponsor, formerly known as NYSE Euronext Holdings LLC) (“NYSE Holdings”). Upon the closing of the acquisition, Intercontinental Exchange Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as IntercontinentalExchange, Inc.) and NYSE Holdings became wholly owned subsidiaries of ICE. As the parent company, ICE is the publicly traded entity, trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ICE.”

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements are presented in United States dollars.

Security Valuation

The value of the Trust’s portfolio securities is based on the market price of the securities, which generally means a valuation obtained from an exchange or other market (or based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange or other market) or a valuation obtained from an independent pricing service. If a security’s market price is not readily available or does not otherwise accurately reflect the fair value of the security, the security will be valued by another method that the Trustee believes will better reflect fair value in accordance with the Trust’s valuation policies and procedures. The Trustee has adopted procedures concerning securities valuation pursuant to which an Oversight Committee makes determinations as to whether market quotations are not readily available or do not otherwise accurately reflect the fair value of the security. The Oversight Committee, or a subgroup thereof, subject to oversight by the Trustee, may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances,

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

 

including but not limited to, situations when trading in a security has been suspended or halted. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be received on the sale of the security.

The Trust continues to follow the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements and the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

 

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

 

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Trust’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (i.e., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (i.e., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which the Trust’s net assets are computed and that may materially affect the value of the Trust’s investments). Examples of events that may be “significant events” are government actions, natural disasters, armed conflicts, acts of terrorism, and significant market fluctuations.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the Trust’s NAV and the prices used by the S&P 500 Index, which, in turn, could result in a difference between the Trust’s performance and the performance of the S&P 500 Index. The inputs or methodology used for valuation are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. The types of inputs used to value each security are identified in the Schedule of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Trust’s investments by industry.

The Trust did not hold any investments valued using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs as of March 31, 2015 and did not have any transfers between levels for the six months ended March 31, 2015.

Investment Risk

The Trust’s investments are exposed to risks, such as market risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

An investment in the Trust involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund of equity securities, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The value of a Unit will decline, more or less, in correlation with any decline in

value of the S&P 500 Index. The values of equity securities could decline generally or could underperform other investments. The Trust would not sell an equity security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble unless that security was removed from the S&P 500 Index.

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income, which may be subject to withholding tax, is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Distributions to Unitholders

The Trust declares and distributes dividends from net investment income to its holders of Units (“Unitholders”) quarterly. The Trust declares and distributes net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Equalization

The Trust follows the accounting practice known as “Equalization” by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring the Trust’s Units, equivalent on a per Unit basis to the amount of distributable net investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net investment income per Unit is unaffected by sales or reacquisitions of the Trust’s Units. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

U.S. Federal Income Tax and Certain Other Tax Matters

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Trust has qualified as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a “RIC”) and intends to continue to qualify as a RIC. As a RIC, the Trust will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax for any taxable year on income, including net capital gains, that it distributes to its Unitholders, provided that it distributes on a timely basis at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income determined prior to the deduction for dividends paid by the Trust” (generally, its taxable income other than net capital gain) for such taxable year. In addition, provided that the Trust distributes substantially all of its ordinary income and capital gains during each calendar year, the Trust will not be subject to U.S. federal excise tax.

Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) established financial accounting and disclosure requirements for recognition and measurement of tax positions taken, and whether those tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. The Trust has not recognized any liabilities relating to tax positions considered to be uncertain tax positions for the current year or prior years. The Trust may be subject to potential examinations by certain taxing authorities for all open tax years (the current and prior years, as applicable). Any potential tax liability is also subject to ongoing interpretation of laws by taxing authorities. The tax treatment of the Trust’s investments may change over time based on factors including, but not limited, to new tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof.

The Trust has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of September 30, 2014 and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Trust’s financial statements. The Trust’s U.S. federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Trust’s major tax jurisdictions, which include the

During the tax year ended September 30, 2014, the Trust utilized capital loss carryforwards of $0 and had $1,174,140,896 of capital loss carryforwards expire.

During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Trust reclassified $12,360,341,438 of non-taxable security gains realized from the in-kind redemption of Creation Units (Note 4) as an increase to paid in capital in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At March 31, 2015, the cost of investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes was $183,510,465,748. Gross unrealized appreciation was $9,474,095,210 and gross unrealized depreciation was $9,512,605,431, resulting in net unrealized depreciation of $38,510,221.

Net capital losses realized by the Trust after October 31 and ordinary losses realized by the Trust after December 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. The Trust elected for U.S. federal income tax purposes to defer the following current year post October 31 and post December 31 losses, as applicable, as though the losses were incurred on the first day of the next fiscal year:
