SSgA Australian SAM Sustainability Index - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective
The Fund seeks to capture the performance of Australia's Sustainability Leaders with a well diversified portfolio that has expected risk and return characteristics similar to the broader Australian share market (as represented by the S&P/ASX 200 Index).
Fund Strategy
Vanguard uses securities that are in the Australian SAM Sustainability Index (AuSSI) to create a portfolio with characteristics (industry weights & asset size distribution) similar to those of the broader Australian equity market. Currently, the AuSSI reflects those characteristics and is used as a reference for the portfolio. The Fund will hold most, but not necessarily all of the shares in the AuSSI.
