Vanguard International Fixed Interest Index Hedged seeks to track the return (income and capital appreciation) of the Barclays Capital Global Treasury Index hedged into Australian dollars before taking into account fees, expenses, and tax. The Barclays Global Treasury Index is a value?weighted index of approximately 1,300 securities (bonds) issued by the governments of approximately 34 countries. Bond indices change far more quickly than share indices because bonds have a finite life (maturity). Every maturity and inclusion of new issues changes the composition of the index and requires Vanguard to modify the portfolio.
