About this ETF
The fund is designed to mirror the performance of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Float Adjusted Composite Index. It offers extensive, diversified exposure to high-quality bonds from around the world. Employing a distinctive "ETF of ETFs" structure, its portfolio is characterized by an intermediate duration, encompassing a range of short-, intermediate-, and long-term maturities. Investors can anticipate a consistent income stream from its holdings, which boast strong credit quality. It's important to note that for 75% of its total assets, the fund typically has restrictions: it cannot acquire more than 10% of any issuer's voting securities, nor can more than 5% of its total assets be allocated to a single issuer. These limitations are waived if essential for tracking the benchmark index, or for investments in U.S. government or agency obligations.
