Key Summary

AAA

VGAD

Strategy

AAA.AX was created on 2012-03-06 by BetaShares. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on target outcome asset allocation. The Fund aims to provide exposure to Australian cash, with attractive and regular incomedistributions that exceed the 30 day Bank Bill Swap Rate (after fees and expenses).

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.
