Fixed IncomeEthical Australian Composite Bond ETF
About this ETF
AEBD is designed to serve as a core fixed income allocation for investors seeking a true-to-label ethical fixed income solution. It aims to track the performance of an index (before fees and expenses) that provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of high-quality Australian corporate and government bonds. The bonds are screened to exclude issuers (other than sovereign bond issuers) with material exposure to fossil fuels or engaged in activities considered inconsistent with responsible investment considerations.
