Vanguard Ethically Conscious International Shares Index ETF (VESG.AX)

The Vanguard Ethically Conscious International Shares Index Fund is engineered to mirror the financial performance of a specific global equity benchmark. This benchmark is known as the FTSE Developed ex Australia ex Non-renewable Energy, Vice Products and Weapons Index. It is constructed from developed market companies, explicitly excluding those domiciled in Australia, and further screens out firms engaged in non-renewable energy, vice products, and armaments. The fund's objective is to match the index's returns, which include the reinvestment of net dividends, measured in Australian dollars. These returns are presented prior to any deductions for management fees, operational expenses, or taxes.
