Strategy | ESPO.AX was created on 2020-09-08 by VanEck. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on theme equity. The Fund aims to provide investment returns before fees and other costs which track the performance of the Reference Index in Australian dollars. The Fund does not aim to perfectly replicate the Reference Index on a one-to-one basis. | 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. |
