In plain English
Vanguard ESG Global Corporate Bond Index Fund GBP Hedged Acc is an open-ended fund (OEIC) from Vanguard.
It is bought and sold once a day at its net asset value, through a platform or directly from the manager.
Its ongoing charge is 0.2% a year — about £20 a year on every £10,000 invested, taken from the fund's value rather than billed to you.
Income from its investments is reinvested inside the fund, so it shows up as a rising price rather than cash paid to you.
It is currency-hedged: it aims to remove most of the effect of exchange-rate moves against the pound.
Corporate & other bonds: Loans to companies and other borrowers, which usually pay more interest than government bonds in exchange for more risk.
