Vanguard Australian Fixed Interest ETF - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The Fund seeks to track the return of the Bloomberg AusBond Composite 0 Year Index before taking into account fees, expenses and tax.
Fund Strategy
The Fund aims to hold an appropriate number of fixed and floating rate securities so as to produce a portfolio risk exposure consistent with that of the index. This is generally achieved by holding a representative sample of the securities included in the index or securities that provide similar characteristics to those securities in the index. Vanguard selects the securities it holds based on liquidity, access to markets, portfolio cash-flow and minimum trade quantities with the aim of tracking the return of the index.
