Vanguard ESG USD Corporate Bond UCITS ETF – GBP Hedged Accumulating

The Fund employs a “passive management” – or indexing – investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, designed to track the performance of the Bloomberg MSCI USD Corporate Float-Adjusted Liquid Bond Screened Index.

The Index is constructed from the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate – United States Dollar Index which represents a USD denominated universe of investment grade corporate fixed-rate bonds, which is then screened for certain environmental, social, and corporate governance criteria by the sponsor of the Index, which is independent of Vanguard.

The Fund promotes environmental and social characteristics by excluding fixed income securities from its portfolio based on the impact of the issuer’s conduct or products on society and / or the environment. This is met by tracking the Index.

The Index excludes the bonds of issuers that MSCI, the Index provider’s data source, determines engage in activities in, and/or derive revenue (above a threshold specified by the Index provider) from, certain business segments of the following: adult entertainment, alcohol, gambling, tobacco, nuclear weapons, controversial weapons, conventional weapons, civilian firearms, nuclear power, or thermal coal, oil, or gas.

The Index methodology also excludes the bonds of issuers that, as determined by MSCI, have no controversy score or a controversy score of less than one as defined by MSCI’s ESG controversies assessment framework.

Where MSCI has insufficient or no data available to adequately assess a particular issuer relative to the ESG criteria of the Index, such bonds of the issuer may not be excluded and shall remain constituents of the Index until such time as they may be determined to be ineligible by MSCI.
