Vanguard Global Infrastructure Index Hedged provides low-cost exposure to infrastructure securities listed in developed countries. It offers investors diversified exposure to infrastructure sectors, including transportation, energy and telecommunications. The Fund is hedged into Australian dollars so the value of the Fund is relatively unaffected by currency fluctuations. The Fund seeks to track the return of the FTSE Developed Core Infrastructure Index (with net dividends reinvested), in Australian dollars, before taking into account fees, expenses and tax.
- Aims to provide a dividend yield of 0.50 per cent above that of the index, and to keep the net realized capital gains low.
- Meets its investment strategy by investing in the Vanguard Global Infrastructure Fund, securities in the index, and forward foreign exchange contracts.
- The index comprises securities in developed countries, which provide exposure to transportation, energy and telecommunications infrastructure.
