Strategy

1GOV.AX was created on 2023-09-26 by VanEck. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on investment grade fixed income. The ETF currently has 22.94m in AUM and 40 holdings. Each Fund aims to provide an investment return before fees and other costs which tracks the performance of its Reference Index in Australian dollars. The Funds do not necessarily aim to perfectly replicate the Reference Index on a oneto-one basis

The fund exists to track the performance of the MSCI World ex-Australia ex-Fossil Fuel Select SRI and Low Carbon Capped Index before considering any fees, expenses, and taxes.
