The new solution expands Vanguard’s fixed income suite

The ETF will be listed on the London Stock Exchange, Deutsche Börse, Borsa Italiana, Euronext Amsterdam, and SIX Swiss Exchange.

Mark Fitzgerald, Head of Product Specialism at Vanguard Europe, commented:
“When it comes to fixed income, investors often gravitate toward local markets due to familiarity. However, diversifying into global government bonds can reduce portfolio risk without sacrificing expected returns—provided currency risk is hedged. Global government bonds offer exposure to a broader range of securities, diverse inflationary and economic contexts, and economic cycles across more markets.”

The ETF aims to track the Bloomberg Global Treasury Developed Countries Float Adjusted Index and will be available to UK and continental European investors as part of Vanguard’s UCITS range.

At launch, the following share classes with the specified ongoing charges will be available:

The new ETFs will be managed by Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group, which oversees over $2.47 trillion in global assets. The group leverages diverse perspectives and expertise to deliver accurate benchmark replication, prudent risk management, and competitive investment performance.

With this addition, Vanguard’s European fixed income index product suite now totals 34.
