Strategy | DFGH.AX was created on 2008-12-09 by Dimensional. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on total market equity. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term capital growth by gaining exposure to a diversified portfolio of securities associated with approved developed markets (excluding Australia), with increased emphasis on higher expected return securities relative to a Market Capitalisation Weighted portfolio. | 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. |
