Key Summary

VDHG

VGAD

Strategy

Vanguard Diversified High Growth Index ETF (ASX: VDHG) seeks to track the weighted average performance of various ETFs it invests in before taking into account fees, expenses and taxes. The index doesnโ€™t track companies directly. Instead, it invests in other ETFs. It acts as an ETF that tracks other ETFs.

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.
