iShares Core Global Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF EUR Hedged (Acc)

The iShares Core Global Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF EUR Hedged (Acc) is an exchange-traded fund specializing in the global fixed income market. Its primary objective is to replicate the performance of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index, which encompasses investment grade bonds from both developed and emerging markets worldwide. The fund employs a sampling strategy for physical replication, selecting a representative subset of over 18,000 constituents to closely track the index's returns, while employing a euro hedging mechanism to minimize currency risk for euro-based investors. This ETF accumulates income, reinvesting bond coupons directly into the fund rather than distributing them, and maintains a low total expense ratio of 0.10% per annum—making it one of the most cost-efficient vehicles in its segment. Country allocation is broad, with its largest exposures being to the United States, Japan, China, and France, while sector allocation is diversified across sovereigns, agencies, and corporates. With over EUR 2 billion in assets under management, the fund offers investors access to a globally diversified, investment-grade bond portfolio, serving as a core fixed income holding for diversified asset allocation strategies.
