Vanguard Ethically Conscious Global Aggregate Bond Index (Hedged) ETF (VEFI.AX)
About this ETF
This Vanguard fund is designed to mirror the investment performance of the Bloomberg MSCI Global Aggregate SRI Exclusions Float Adjusted Index. Its strategy incorporates ethical screening to exclude certain companies, and it manages currency risk by hedging its returns into Australian dollars. This objective is measured before any deductions for fees, operational expenses, or taxes.
