About Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF
The Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares exchange-traded fund (ETF) provides exposure to many of the world's largest companies (ex-Australia) listed in major developed countries.
It offers access to a broadly diversified range of securities that provides investors with the opportunity to participate in the long-term growth potential of international economies outside Australia.
It's worth noting the fund is exposed to the fluctuating values of foreign currencies, as there is no hedging of foreign currencies to the Australian dollar.
