The Vanguard Australian Equity Index strategy is a solid offering that provides investors with passive exposure to the broad Australian market. The strategy aims to fully replicate the S&P/ASX 300 Index, which represents the investment opportunity set quite well. The low, competitive fee--especially after the recent fee cut on the exchange-traded fund share class--and Vanguard's world-renowned legacy in index fund management underpin our continued conviction in the strategy.
