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

VIF.AX was created on 2015-12-04 by Vanguard. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on broad credit fixed income. The Fund seeks to track the return of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate and Government-Related Scaled Index hedged into Australian dollars before taking into account fees, expenses and tax
