Strategy

AGVT.AX was created on 2019-07-05 by BetaShares. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on investment grade fixed income. AGVT.AX aims to track the performance of an index (before fees and expenses) that provides exposure to a portfolio of high-quality bonds issued by Australian federal and state governments, and with a component issued by supranationals and sovereign agencies.

GEAR.AX was created on 2014-04-30 by BetaShares. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on large cap equity. The Fund aims to provide investors with geared exposure to a diversified portfolio of Australian shares as simply as buying any share on the ASX. As the fund is internally geared, investors do not need to take out margin loans and do not have the possibility of margin calls in relation to their investment in the Fund.
