Diversify to defend your portfolio via exposure to high-quality global government bonds.
OVERVIEW
Fund Objective
GGOV aims to track the performance of an index (before fees and expenses) that provides exposure to a portfolio of high-quality, long-dated, income-producing bonds issued by some of the largest developed economies in the world, hedged into AUD.
Fund Strategy
GGOV’s strategy is to invest in a portfolio of long-maturity bonds issued by governments of the G7 nations (USA, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, France and Canada). To be eligible, bonds must be issued in the country’s local currency in the respective domestic market, and have a remaining term to maturity of more than 20 years. Securities are weighted in the Fund’s index according to their market value, with a cap of 25% on any one country’s dollar duration contribution to GGOV’s index. Exposure is hedged into AUD.
Benefits of GGOV
High credit quality
Bonds issued by the national governments of G7 developed market economies are of very high credit quality.
Diversification and defence
Government bonds historically have tended to rise in periods of equity market weakness.
Attractive income, paid quarterly
GGOV’s focus on longer duration bonds means income potential is higher than for comparable bond funds that do not have this focus.How to Invest
- You can buy or sell units just like you’d buy or sell any share on the ASX.
- Fund requires no minimum investment.

|
Running Yield (% p.a.)
Average coupon (weighted by market value) of the
bonds
in the portfolio, divided by the current market price of the bonds.
Provides
an indication of expected current income from making an investment at
market
price. This value will vary over time as interest rates change.
|
1.92 % p.a. |
|
Yield to Maturity (% p.a.)
Total expected return from the bond portfolio, based on current bond prices and assuming no change in prevailing interest rates. This value will vary over time. Reflects annualised costs and benefits associated with FX-hedging, where relevant.
|
1.01 % p.a. |
|
Average Maturity (yrs)
Average (weighted by market value) length of time
until the current
bonds in the portfolio mature.
|
27.61 yrs |
|
Modified Duration (yrs)
A measure of the sensitivity of the portfolio’s

Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Returns are calculated in Australian dollars using net asset value per unit at the start and end of the specified period and do not reflect brokerage or the bid ask spread that investors incur when buying and selling units on the ASX. Returns are after fund management costs, assume reinvestment of any distributions and do not take into account tax paid as an investor in the Fund. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
