Strategy

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.

IXI.AX was created on 2006-09-12 by iShares. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on consumer staples equity. The fund aims to provide investors with the performance of the S&P Global 1200 Consumer Staples Sector Index, before fees and expenses. The index is designed to measure the performance of global consumer staples companies and may include large-, mid- or smallcapitalisation stocks.
