Hey all, just some info from my recent effort to find some existing ASX products for International Bonds…
I’m still to look into the following in detail, but they are a start:
VIF: Vanguard International Fixed Interest (Hedged) ETF
VBND: Vanguard Global Aggregate Bond Index (hedged) ETF
VEFI: Vanguard Ethically Conscious Global Aggregate Bond Index (hedged) ETF
VCF: Vanguard International Credit Securities Index (Hedged) ETF
Shame they’re hedged (given my opinions on the AUD), but they might still provide some nominal US bond exposure.
Also, Betashares said they were going to look into a US Bond focused ETF as a result of my enquiry, so it will be good to see if that gets anywhere!
Regards.
Yes, so annoying that they are all hedged – I don’t understand why it is easy to find unhedged international equity ETFs but not bonds. Bring on an unhedged, long dated US Treasury fund!
BW ……would be interested in how you judge a price entry point on these ….they are usually a mixed bag of bonds …..Is there a quick and dirty rule to judge the entry price ?
