Strategy | AUST.AX was created on 2015-11-09 by BetaShares. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on large cap equity. The ETF currently has 32.58m in AUM and 200 holdings. The investment objective of the Fund is: to provide exposure to a broadly diversified portfolio of Australian shares, generally consisting of approximately 200 of the largest equity securities on the ASX, weighted by their market capitalisation, and to reduce the volatility of the Funds equity investment returns and cushion downside risk | 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. |
