State Street Asia Pacific Value Spotlight Fund
Website disclosure for an Article 8 fund
A. Summary
The investment policy of the State Street Asia Pacific Value Spotlight Fund (“ Fund ”) is to invest actively using the Investment Manager’s Fundament al Value Equity Strategy while screening out securities based on an assessment of their adherence to certain sustainable investing criteria i.e. international norms in relation to environmental and social protection.
The Fund promotes environmental or so cial characteristics and while it does not have as its objective a sustainable investment, it will seek to invest a minimum of 25% of its portfolio in sustainable investments under article 2(17) of SFDR using t he Investment Manager’s proprietary assessment methodology.
The environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund are negative and norms-based screens applied to the portfolio of the Fund to scr een out securities based on an assessment of their adherence to sustainable investing criteria, i.e. in ternational norms in relation to environmental and social protection. In addition, the Fund promotes environmental characteristics through investments in companies which exhibit lower carbon emissi ons than the Index as measured using Weighted Average Carbon Intensity (“ WACI ”).
The Investment Manager, on behalf of the Fund, will invest actively using the Fundamental Value Equity Strategy as further described in section 8.1 of the Prospectus and the Relevant Supplement. This strategy uses a proprietar y fundamentally driven and bottom up research process to identify companies with a dislocation between the intrinsic value of the company and the price of its equity security.
The Investment Manager employs a binding sustainable investing methodology which aims to build a portfolio where at least 90% of the Fund’s assets are invested in securities which are aligned with environmental and social characteri stics promoted by the Fund. The remaining portion (<10%) of the portfolio will not be aligned with the promot ed environmental and social characteristics.
The Fund does not commit to making sustainable investments within the meaning of the Taxonomy Regulation.
The attainment of the environmental characte ristics is measured through achieving a higher exposure of the Fund’s portfolio to companies such that the Fund’s overall portfolio exhibits lower carbon emissions (relative to the MSCI All Country Asia Pacific Index (the “ Index ”)) as measured using WACI. A further attainment of the environ mental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund is measured through the % of the portfolio invested in securities that are included in the negative and norms-based screen.

Information Classification: General
In order to attain the environmental and social char acteristics promoted by the Fund, the Investment Manager implements the Fundam ental Value Equity Strategy to build a concentrated portfolio of 3040 securities for the Fund while evaluating an inve stee company’s carbon emissions. In addition, a negative and norms based screen is applied to the por tfolio of the Fund to screen out the following exclusion criteria: • Controversial Weapons • UNGC Violations • Thermal Coal • Arctic Drilling • Oil Sands • Severe ESG Controversies • Civilian Firearms • Tobacco
The Fund uses the following data sources: 1. ISS for WACI Metric 2. MSCI and Sustainalytics for negative sustainable investing screens
State Street Investment Managem ent implements an ongoing due dili gence process in relation to sustainable investing data providers resulting in regular data quality reports and may engage with the relevant data providers in relation to any data issues identified by the State Street Investment Management teams.
Sustainable investing data may be based on certain assumptions, forecasts, projections, views and opinions which may be based on current market tr ends or anticipated future events. Given the developing and innovative nature of data models, methodologies and assumptions and the inherent uncertainty in predicting forw ard-looking events, it cannot be guaranteed that the sustainable investing data is always accurate or correct or that the sustainable investing data will satisfy the aims or requirements of any specific client or inve stor. Furthermore, there may be data that cannot be sourced due to the lack of availability of data so urces. For certain markets and types of companies or securities there may be significant limitations in t he amount of screening data that is available or no screening data may be available such that no screeni ng is performed. In certain situations where screening data is not available for a company or a se curity, the screen provider r may, as a proxy, use data relating to a different entity to the company, which presents a risk this data may not accurately reflect the sustainability or other characteristics of the relevant company.
Engagement policies are not directly embedded into t he Fund’s investment strategy. Proxy voting and engagement activities are conducted pursuant to the terms of the Sustainability Stewardship Service Proxy Voting and Engagement Policy.
For further information and details please refer to the relevant sections below, the Prospectus and Relevant Supplement.

B. No sustainable investment objective
The Fund promotes environmental or so cial characteristics and while it does not have as its objective a sustainable investment, it will seek to invest a minimum of 25% of its portfolio in sustainable investments under article 2(17) of SFDR using t he Investment Manager’s proprietary assessment methodology.
The Investment Manager applies a negative and nor ms-based screen to the Fund to screen out securities based on an assessment of their adheren ce to sustainable investing criteria including securities of companies identif ied as being non-compliant with UNGC Principles (relating to environmental protection, human rights, labour standards, anti-corruption), and securities of companies associated with Severe ESG Controvers ies, controversial weapons, civilian firearms, thermal coal, arctic oil & gas exploration, oil s ands extraction and tobacco. By applying the relevant negative and norms-based screen, the Invest ment Manager deems the Fund’s sustainable investments not to cause significant harm to any environmental or social sustainable investment objective.
The Fund considers princi pal adverse impacts (“ PAI ”) on sustainability factors by applying the negative and norms-based sustainable investing screen prior to the construction of the portfolio. Specifically, the Fund considers:
• Exposure to companies active in the fossil fuel sector • Violations of UN Gl obal Compact Principles • Exposure to controversial weapons.
The Fund excludes companies that the Investment Manager has deemed to viol ate UNGC principles as part of the negative screening utilised by the Fund. The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN Guiding Principles on Busines s and Human Rights are considered as part of the UNGC principles assessment.
C. Environmental or social characteristics of the financial product
The environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund are negative and norms-based screens applied to the portfolio of the Fund to scr een out securities based on an assessment of their adherence to sustainable investing criteria, i.e. in ternational norms in relation to environmental and social protection. Specifically, the Fund promotes environmental characteristics through exclusion of investments in companies which violate UNGC principl es relating to environment (Principles 7 to 9) and which are active in thermal coal, arctic oi l & gas exploration, and oil sands extraction.
The Fund also promotes social characteristics th rough exclusion of investments in companies which violate UNGC Principles relating to human rights (P rinciples 1 and 2), labour standards (Principles 3 to 6), anti-corruption (Principle 10) and companies associated with controversial weapons, civilian firearms and tobacco. The UNGC Princi ples is the world largest cor porate sustainability initiative

Information Classification: General
aimed at companies to align their strategies and operations with uni versal principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and ta ke actions that advance societal goals.
The Fund may use additional negative sustainable invest ing screens from time to time in order to exclude securities based on their involvement with an activity that is deemed non-compliant with one or more of such sustainable investing criteria.
The Fund further promotes environment al and social characteristics through its allocation of a portion of the portfolio to sustainable investments. In order for the security to qualify as a sustainable investment, it must be classified as a “Leader” or “Outperformer” as determined by the Investment Manager using the sustainability score generated by its proprietary process.
In addition, the Fund promotes environmental char acteristics through investments in companies which exhibit lower carbon emissions t han the Index as measured using WACI.
No reference benchmark has been designated to attain the environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund.
For further details of the exclusions applied by the Investment Manager at any time please refer to Section G below.
D. Investment Strategy
The Investment Manager, on behalf of the Fund, will invest actively using the Fundamental Value Equity Strategy as further described in section 8.1 of the Prospectus and the Relevant Supplement. This strategy uses a proprietar y fundamentally driven and bottom up research process to identify companies with a dislocation between the intrinsic value of the company and the price of its equity security.
In implementing this strategy, the Investment Manager builds a concentrated portfolio of 30-40 securities. The securities in the Fund are selected without taking into account the securities in the Index and the Investment Manager applies the n egative and norms-based sustainable investing screen prior to the construction of the portfolio of the Fund and on an ongoing basis.
Application of the negative sustainable investing scr eens results in the exclusion of any securities from the portfolio based on an assessment of their adh erence to sustainable investing criteria defined by the Investment Manager. The F und will screen out securities identified as being non-compliant with UNGC Principles relating to environmental pr otection, human rights, labour standards and anti corruption, as well as companies associated with Severe ESG Controversies, controversial weapons, civilian firearms and tobacco. The Fund may us e additional sustainable investing screening techniques from time to time in order to exclude se curities based on their involvement with an activity that is deemed non-compliant with one or more of such sustainable investing criteria referred to in the previous sentence.
The assessment of good governance practices is im plemented by the Investment Manager through the assessment of potential investments when impl ementing the Fundamental Value Equity strategy. The Investment Manager deploys a proprietary gov ernance assessment framework that includes a
Page 5

Information Classification: General
governance scorecard and a qualitative assessment. T he framework considers factors such as board independence, diversity and experience as well as the configuration of executive compensation and accounting and tax compliance. The assessme nt of good governance practices is further implemented through the negative screening utilis ed by the Fund. Companies deemed by the Investment Manager to not violate UNGC principles are considered to exhibit good governance. The Investment Manager will only invest in compani es that they deem to follow good governance practices.
E. Proportion of investments
The Investment Manager employs a binding sustainable investing methodology which aims to build a portfolio where at least 90% of the Fund’s assets are invested in securities which are aligned with environmental and social characteri stics promoted by the Fund. It is intended that, within such portion of the portfolio, at least 25% of the Fund’s assets are invested in securities which are sustainable investments with environmental and / or social objectives. The remaining portion (<10%) of the portfolio will not be aligned with the promot ed environmental and social characteristics.
To the extent that the Fund may use financial derivati ve instruments, these will not be used to attain the environmental or social char acteristics promoted by the Fund.
The Fund does not commit to making sustainable investments within the meaning of the Taxonomy Regulation.
F. Monitoring of environmenta l or social characteristics
The attainment of the environmental characte ristics is measured through achieving a higher exposure of the Fund’s portfolio to companies such that the Fund’s overall portfolio exhibits lower carbon emissions (relative to the In dex) as measured using WACI.
A further attainment of the environmental charac teristics promoted by the Fund is measured through:
• % of the portfolio invested in securities that are included in the negative and norms based screen specifically related to environmental characteristics, namely companies violating UNGC Principles in regards to the environment and which are active in thermal coal, arctic oil & gas exploration, and oil sands extraction
The attainment of the social characteristi cs promoted by the Fund is measured through: % of the portfolio invested in securities that are included in the negative and norms based screen specifically related to social charac teristics, namely com panies violating UNGC Principles and companies associated with c ontroversial weapons, civilian firearms and tobacco. The environmental and social characteristics are embedded in the investment policy of the Fund and the associated sustainability indicators are m onitored by the Investment Manager through its

H. Data sources and processing
The Fund utilises the following data sources: • ISS for WACI metric
The Fund utilises the following data sources to de rive the negative sustainable investing screens:
Controversial Weapons State Street Investment Management receives universe-level data from two data providers: Sustainalytics and MSCI. A screen is then applied to the data to generate lists from each data provider of excluded securities for th is category. State Street Investment Management determines the parameters that define the screen which are then approved by the firm’s Global Product & Investment Committee (“ GPIC ”). Companies are excluded if they appear on either or both of the lists from the two data providers.
UNGC Violations Data is sourced from Sustainalytics. A screen is then applied to the data to generate a list of excluded securities for this category. State Street Investment Management determines the parameters that define the scree n which are then approved by the firm’s GPIC.
Thermal Coal Data is sourced from Sustai nalytics. A screen is then applied to the data to generate a list of excluded securities for this category. State Street Investment Management determines the parameters that define the screen which ar e then approved by the firm’s GPIC.
Arctic Drilling Data is sourced from Sustainalytics. A sc reen is then applied to the data to generate a list of excluded securities for this category. State Street Investment Management determines the parameters that define the screen which ar e then approved by the firm’s GPIC.

State Street Investment Management determines the parameters that define the screen which are then approved by the firm’s GPIC. Companies are excluded if they appear on either or both of f the lists from the two data providers.
State Street Investment Management receives sust ainable investing data from a wide variety of data providers covering various themes including, bu t not limited to, climate, controversies and governance and leverages multisource data architec ture for the analysis and dissemination of sustainable investing data.
State Street Investment Managem ent implements an ongoing due dili gence process in relation to sustainable investing data providers resulting in regular data quality reports. Such process tracks correlation and coverage dimensions of key su stainable investing and climate metrics and scores between a selection of data providers over time fo r the covered universe. State Street Investment Management may engage with the relevant data providers in relation to any data issues identified by the State Street Investment Management teams.
I. Limitations to methodologies and data
Sustainable investing data may be based on certain assumptions, forecasts, projections, views and opinions which may be based on current market tr ends or anticipated future events. To assess company involvement in different activities and to es timate revenue shares as accurately as possible, data providers strive to obtain information dire ctly from companies and issuers. Sources of data include annual reports, regulatory filings, sustai nability reports, pres s releases, investor presentations, company websites, and other company disclosures. Given the developing and innovative nature of data models, methodologies and assumptions and the inherent uncertainty in predicting forward-looking events, it cannot be guaranteed that the sustainable investing data is always accurate or correct or that the sustainable investing data will satisfy fy the aims or requirements of any specific client or investor. Furthermore , there may be data that cannot be sourced due to the lack of availability of data sources. For certain markets and types of issuers, companies or securities
Page 12

Information Classification: General
there may be significant limitations in the amount of sustainable investing data that is available or no sustainable investing data may be available such that no screening is performed. In certain situations where screening data is not available for an issuer , an investee company or a security, the screen provider may, as a proxy, use data relating to a diffe rent entity to the issuer or the investee company, which presents a risk this data may not accurately re flect the sustainability or other characteristics of the issuer or the investee company. In certain si tuations, even where screening data is available it may not be used as part of the screen provider’s screening process. It is not expected that such limitations would affect how the environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund are met given that sustainable investing data for Asia Pacific large and midcap equities is widely available.
J. Due diligence
The Investment Manager, on behalf of the Fund, will invest actively using the Fundamental Value Equity Strategy as further described in section 8.1 of the Prospectus and the Relevant Supplement.
This strategy uses a proprietar y fundamentally driven and bottom up research process to identify companies with a dislocation between the intrinsic value of the company and the price of its equity security. The Investment Manager employs a negative and norms-based screen prior to the construction of the portfolio and on an ongoing basis.
