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.

VESG seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Developed ex-Australia Choice Index (with dividends reinvested) before considering any additional fees, expenses, and taxes.
