State Street® SPDR® Russell 1000 Yield Focus ETF

State Street® SPDR® Russell 1000 Yield Focus ETF is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from SPDR, traded under the ticker ONEY (ISIN US78468R7706). One trade buys a whole basket of holdings, so your money is spread out instead of riding on a single company. In plain terms it is about owning small slices of companies, so you share in their growth when they do well — and their falls when they don't, spread across its target market. It follows the Russell 1000 Yield Focused Factor Index index (passive investing): it tracks the market rather than relying on a manager, keeping running costs down, and its largest holdings include PROGRESSIVE CORP, COMCAST CORP CLASS A and ALLSTATE CORP. It holds around 303 positions (the ten largest ≈ 17%), spreading risk so no single holding decides your outcome. Its heaviest sectors are ~18.4% Financials and ~11.1% Consumer Staples. It is commonly used to tilt a portfolio towards one market, usually alongside broader, more global funds rather than on its own. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.2% a year — about €20 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. It holds the underlying investments directly (physical replication); it is domiciled in the United States and trades in USD. Its price has swung about 12.4% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2015. Like any investment, it can lose value as well as gain, and what it did before does not predict what it will do next. (Fund data sourced from SPDR.)
