Vanguard Global Aggregate Bond Index ETF seeks to track the return of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Float Adjusted and Scaled Index hedged into Australian dollars, before taking into account fees, expenses and tax. The Fund aims to hold an appropriate number of securities so as to produce a portfolio risk exposure profile consistent with that of the index. This is achieved by holding a representative sample of securities included in the index or securities that provide similar characteristics to those securities in the index.
- Security weightings in the Fund may vary from the index weightings.
- The Fund may exclude certain securities that are included in the index or may invest in securities that have been or are expected to be included in the index.
- The Fund may gain exposure to securities directly or through interests in other funds, such as exchange traded funds.
- The Fund may utilise derivative instruments including futures traded on a licensed exchange and over the counter derivative financial instruments.
- Vanguard will seek to hedge the Fund’s currency exposure back to the Australian dollar using forward foreign exchange contracts.
- Minimum suggested investment timeframe is five years.
