LIB - Vanguard International Shares Index Fund Hedged AUD Open - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The Fund seeks to track the return of the MSCI World ex-Australia Index (with net dividends reinvested) in Australian dollars before taking into account fees, expenses, and tax.
Fund Strategy
The MSCI World ex-Australia Index comprises securities (shares) listed on the exchanges of the world's major developed economies. The Fund will hold most of the securities in the index, allowing for individual security weightings to vary marginally from the index from time to time. The Fund may invest in securities that have been removed from or are expected to be included in the index. The Fund will be fully exposed to the fluctuating values of foreign currencies, as there will not be any hedging of foreign currencies to the Australian dollar.
