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

Vanguard U.S. Total Market Shares Index ETF (ASX: VTS) seeks to track the performance of the CRSP US Total Market Index before account fees, expenses and taxes. The index tracks the large, mid, small and micro-cap stocks on the US stock market, thus representing nearly 100% of the investable US stock market.
