There are risks associated with investment in the Fund, including market risk, international investment risk and currency risk. Investment value can go up and down.

Start with strong foundations

You don’t need the perfect strategy. Historically, spending more time in the market has tended to be more important than trying to time it. That’s why getting started sooner could be the most important move.

No overlap with your Australian shares exposure

No overlap with your Australian shares exposure, so you get full global exposure without double-counting your Australian holdings.

Access to global tech giants

Australia’s share market provides very little exposure to the tech sector. BGBL gives you Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and 1,200+ companies the ASX simply doesn’t offer.

0.08% management fee

One of the lowest-cost ways for Australians to access global shares. Lower fees, more of your money invested.

Other costs, such as transaction costs, may apply. Refer to the PDS for more information.
