VanEck MSCI International Quality (AUD Hedged) ETF

About this ETF

The Fund employs a passive management strategy of physically replicating the Reference Index by investing in the securities that comprise the Reference Index, in proportion to the security’s relative weighting in the Reference Index. At the date of this the Fund achieves this by investing in QUAL but may switch to investing directly in the securities of the Reference Index. The Fund also invest in forward foreign exchange contracts with the aim of replicating the notional hedging in their respective Reference Indexes.
