Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

FITEAState Street SPDR S&P Kensho Future Security ETF

HAILBState Street SPDR S&P Kensho Smart Mobility ETF

In short

FITE Most "security" funds mean cybersecurity. FITE reads the word wider: cyber plus border security, robotics, drones, space, wearables and AR/VR, bundled into one global index basket since 2017.

HAIL A 2017-vintage bet on how the world moves: self-driving and connected cars, drones, and the software that routes them. Kensho's machine-read index picks the names, at a fee below the typical global thematic fund.

Stated mandate

FITE The fund seeks to track the S&P Kensho Future Security Index, targeting companies whose products and services support future security through areas such as cybersecurity, border security, robotics, drones, space, wearables, and virtual or augmented reality.

HAIL The fund seeks to track the S&P Kensho Smart Transportation Index, which targets companies advancing smart transportation through autonomous and connected vehicles, drones, and advanced transportation tracking and optimization systems.

Why people hold it

  • FITE One theme, many fronts: cybersecurity, border security, robotics, drones, space, wearables and virtual/augmented reality all sit inside the same index.ssga.com
  • A 0.45% fee undercuts the typical global thematic fund, and it comes from State Street's SPDR lineup rather than a one-fund boutique.
  • Live since 2017, so it has traded through a full cycle of thematic hype and hangover instead of arriving on a back-test.
  • Roughly 80 names spread across sectors and countries, so no single defense contractor or chipmaker steers the whole portfolio.ssga.com
  • HAIL 0.45% a year, below the median fee for global thematic funds. Cheap is rare in a niche this narrow.
  • About 90 names across autonomous and connected vehicles, drones, and transport tracking systems, so no single stock has to carry the whole theme.ssga.com
  • A defined slice, not a catch-all innovation basket: the index screens for companies actually advancing smart transportation, globally rather than US-only.ssga.com
  • Sits in the upper half of its global thematic peer group, with a State Street 1940 Act wrapper and quarterly distributions behind it.

Worth knowing

  • FITE Thinly traded next to broad index funds, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads at the moment you transact.
  • Small by SPDR standards. Niche thematic funds lean on sustained investor interest to hold their scale.
  • "Security" is drawn by index rules, so wearables and AR headset makers land beside the cyber and border names.
  • HAIL Small asset base and thin trading. Spreads can run wider than in the big thematic funds, and that gap is a real cost on the way in and out.
  • One theme, all equity, roughly 90 stocks. It has been among the more volatile funds in its cohort and moves with sentiment on mobility tech.
  • Cheap for its niche, not cheap outright. Broad global peers like KLMT (0.10%) and PBPH (0.13%) charge a fraction of it for wider mandates.
