Vanguard Global Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF GBP Hedged Accumulation is a bonds ETF from Vanguard tracking the Global Aggregate Bond index through physical replication. Domiciled in Ireland and launched in 2019, the fund manages about 2.3 bn € and charges a TER of 0.08% — 8 € per year on a €10,000 investment. Income is automatically reinvested in the fund (accumulating).
Vanguard Global Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF GBP Hedged Accumulation competes with 8 other products on the same index (Global Aggregate Bond): it ranks 3rd by fund size and 1st by ongoing cost, with a TER of 0.08% against a group median of 0.10%. It has been listed since 2019, 7 years of track record.
On a €10,000 investment the TER costs 8 € a year, and no product in the group costs less.
Replication is physical: the fund holds the underlying securities directly.
Income is accumulated: no distribution is paid out, the share price absorbs it. In a savings plan this removes the need to reinvest dividends by hand. The fund is denominated in GBP and is a currency-hedged share class: the hedge aims to neutralise the effect of the underlying currencies against the reference currency, at an implicit cost that varies with interest-rate differentials.
The fund is domiciled in Ireland, which determines the tax treatment of income received by the fund and the supervisory authority.
