Global Short-Term Bond Index Fund - Institutional Plus CHF Hedged Acc (VGSTPIC)

About this fund

Fund objectives

  • The Fund employs a passive management – or indexing – investment approach and seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Ex US MBS 1-5 Year Float Adjusted and Scaled Index (the “Index”).
  • The Index includes global government, government-related agencies, corporate and securitised bonds, with a maturity between 1 and 5 years. Bloomberg applies a filter to the Index to exclude US Mortgage Backed Securities from the universe of fixed income securities.
  • The Fund attempts to: 1. Track the performance of the Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that, insofar as possible and practicable, consists of a representative sample of the component securities of the Index. 2. Remain fully invested except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions.
