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 24.94m in AUM and 38 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 aim of Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares (Hedged) ETF is to track the return of the MSCI World ex-Australia (with net dividends reinvested) before considering fees, expenses, and tax. It also seeks to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on the fund's performance by hedging it to the Australian dollar. |
