Overview

Fund objective

The Fund is designed to be a core portfolio allocation for fixed income. It aims to track the performance of the Bloomberg Global-Aggregate Total Return Index Hedged AUD (before fees and expenses). The index is a flagship measure of fixed-rate global investment grade debt from global bond markets, hedged into Australian dollars. The Fund currently obtains its exposure via an underlying ETF (refer to the PDS for more information).

Benefits

Core fixed income portfolio building block

WBND gives you instant exposure to an index that comprises over 30,000 treasury, government related, corporate and securitised bonds from all over the world, covering more than 25 currencies and over 70 countries – making it an efficient, core building block for diversified portfolios across different risk profiles.

Aims to track the ‘flagship’ global bond benchmark

WBND is the first ETF in Australia that aims to track the global bond benchmark used by APRA in the official performance test for super funds, and widely referred to by the country’s largest institutional investors and asset allocators.

Designed for better tax outcomes

WBND uses TOFA hedging – aiming to deliver more efficient after-tax outcomes and smoother cash distribution profiles to Australian investors.

There are risks associated with an investment in WBND, including market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and index tracking risk. Investment value can go up and down. An investment in the Fund should only be considered as a part of a broader portfolio, taking into account your particular circumstances, including your tolerance for risk. For more information on risks and other features of the Fund, please see the Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determination, both available on the Betashares website.

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.
