The Vanguard Total World Bond ETF (BNDW) is a fund of funds that uses a passive indexing strategy to track a custom, USD-hedged benchmark representing the global investment-grade bond market. The underlying index combines the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index (covering U.S. investment-grade bonds) with the Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Float Adjusted RIC Capped Index (covering non-U.S. investment-grade bonds), weighted by market capitalization. The USD-hedged structure is designed to neutralize the effect of foreign currency fluctuations on returns for U.S.-based investors.
As an exchange-traded fund in the global bond category, BNDW offers investors diversified exposure to investment-grade fixed income securities worldwide through a single ticker, while the fund-of-funds structure allows Vanguard to aggregate exposures to multiple underlying bond funds managed by the firm.
