What exposure does RGB offer?

RGB seeks to track the performance of the DBIQ 5-10 Year Australian Government Bond Index by investing predominantly in Australian Government fixed income securities. The index filters the largest and most liquid Commonwealth Government fixed income securities and weights them equally upon reconstitution, so the ten largest holdings each represent about 10% of the portfolio. Derivatives may be used to a limited extent to obtain or reduce exposure.

The Bonds - Australia category covers funds that invest in traditional Australian fixed interest securities, including government and corporate debt, with terms to maturity generally greater than one year and an average credit quality typically of A or above.
