This document provides you with key investor information about this fund. It is not marketing material.

# State Street SPDR MSCI Europe Small Cap UCITS ETF (the "Fund") , a sub-fund of SSGA SPDR ETFs Europe II plc (a UCITS authorised Exchange Traded Fund). This Fund is managed by State Street Global Advisors Europe Limited. 

Share Class: State Street SPDR MSCI Europe Small Cap UCITS ETF (ISIN IE00BKWQ0M75) 

# Objectives and Investment Policy 

Investment Objective The objective of the Fund is to track the performance of European smaller companies. 

Investment Policy The Fund seeks to track the performance of the MSCI Europe Small Cap Index (the "Index") as closely as possible. The Fund is an index tracking fund (also known as a passively managed fund). The Fund invests primarily in securities included in the Index. These securities include equity securities issued by smaller-sized companies from developped markets within Europe. As it may be difficult to purchase all securities in the Index efficiently, in seeking to track the performance of the Index the Fund will use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio which should reflect the performance of the Index. Consequently, the Fund will typically hold only a subset of the securities included in the Index. In limited circumstances the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the Index. The Fund may use financial derivative instruments (that is, financial contracts whose prices are dependent on one or more underlying assets) in order to manage the portfolio efficiently. Save in exceptional circumstances, the Fund will generally only issue and redeem shares to certain institutional investors. However, shares of the Fund may be purchased or sold through brokers on one or more stock exchanges. The Fund trades on these stock exchanges at market prices which may fluctuate throughout the day. Market prices may be greater or less than the daily net asset value of the Fund. The Fund's maximum exposure to securities lending as a percentage of its Net Asset Value will not exceed 40%. Shareholders may redeem shares on any UK business day (other than days on which relevant financial markets are closed for business and/or the day preceding any such day provided that a list of such closed market days will be published for the Fund on www.ssga.com); and any other day at the Directors' discretion (acting reasonably) provided Shareholders are notified in advance of any such days. Any income earned by the Fund will be retained and reflected in an increase in the value of the shares. The Shares of the EUR Class are issued in Euro.

# Risk and Reward Profile 

Lower risk Higher risk 

Potentially lower reward Potentially higher reward 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7Risk Disclaimer The risk category above is not a measure of capital loss or gains but of how significant the rises and falls in the Fund's return have been historically. For example a fund whose return has experienced significant rises and falls will be in a higher risk category, whereas a fund whose return has experienced less significant rises and falls will be in a lower risk category. The lowest category (i.e., category 1) does not mean that a fund is a risk free investment. As the Fund's risk category has been calculated using historical data, it may not be a reliable indication of the Fund's future risk profile. The Fund's risk category shown is not guaranteed and may change in the future. 

Why is this Fund in this category? The Fund is in risk category 6 as its return has experienced very high rises and falls historically. The following are material risks relevant to the Fund which are not adequately captured by the risk category. 

Concentration Risk: When the Fund focuses its investments in a particular way, the issues affecting the investments will have a greater effect than if the Fund was more diversified. This concentration may also limit the Fund's liquidity. 

Index Tracking Risk: The Fund's performance may not exactly track the Index. This can result from market fluctuations, changes in the composition of the Index, transaction costs, the costs of making changes to the Fund's portfolio and other Fund expenses. 

Liquidity Risk & ETF Liquidity Risk: Lack of a ready market or resale restrictions may limit the Fund's ability to sell a security at an advantageous time or price or at all. Illiquid securities may trade at a discount and may affect the ability to meet redemptions on a timely basis. Where the Fund invests in illiquid securities or does not trade in large volumes, the bid offer spreads may widen, the Fund may be exposed to increased valuation risk and reduced ability to trade. Shares in the Fund may also trade at prices materially different to the last available NAV. 

Smaller Companies Risk: Small companies' securities may be more volatile and trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than those of larger companies. These companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, may lack competitive strength and may depend on a few key employees. Smaller companies may have limited or no track record of success. Please refer to the Prospectus for full details about the risks associated with this Fund.
