Key Summary

Strategy

FRAR.AX was created on 2024-04-15 by Franklin. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on multi-strategy alternatives. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with access to an actively managed portfolio of fixed income strategies with an aim to deliver returns in excess of the Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index, after fees and expenses (but before taxes), over the short to medium term.

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.
