iShares Australian Bond Index acts as an excellent portfolio ballast reflecting its low cost and simple, broad Australian fixed-income market exposure. The benefits of scale and experience are on display here. To achieve its investment objective the Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the iShares Wholesale Australian Bond Index Fund (Underlying Fund), another fund managed by us which has the same investment strategy as the Fund.
- It is an index tracker and seeks to provide investors with similar returns, before fees, to those of its benchmark index.
- Derivatives, such as futures, forwards and options can be used to manage risk and return.
- The expenses of managing the Fund are generally lower compared to other forms of retail managed funds.
