Strategy | VMIN.AX was created on 2018-04-13 by Vanguard. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on total market equity. The fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation with volatility lower than the FTSE Global All Cap Index (AUD Hedged), before taking into account fees, expenses and tax. | 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. |
