Strategy

ALTB.AX was created on 2024-06-07 by iShares. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on investment grade fixed income. The Fund aims to provide investors with the performance of an index, before fees and expenses. The index is designed to measure the performance of bonds issued by the Australian Commonwealth Government and Australian Semi-Governments that have a remaining maturity of fifteen years or more.

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.
