At the time of writing on 30 October 2026, (ASX:1GOV) was trading at AUD 51.22, up 0.09%. The disclosed allocation was 99.33% bonds and 0.67% cash, with geographic exposure entirely in Australia. Management fees and costs were listed at 0.22%, and the annual Yield was 2.69%. The ten largest positions represented 66.79% of the portfolio. Commonwealth and state government borrowing authorities appeared among the disclosed holdings, establishing the government debt focus behind the scheduled November distribution.

VanEck 10+ Year Australian Government Bond ETF (ASX:XGOV)

XGOV follows a passive Australian government bond strategy focused on longer dated securities. Its benchmark identifies the ten to twenty year maturity segment. At the time of writing on 30 October 2026, (ASX:XGOV) was trading at AUD 49.29, up 0.42%. Bonds accounted for 98.56% of the disclosed allocation and cash for 1.44%.

VanEck 1-3 Month US Treasury Bond ETF (ASX:TBIL)

TBIL provides passive exposure to United States Treasury bills through its one to three month reference index.
