In plain English
Vanguard EUR Corporate Bond UCITS ETF Accum Shs Unhedged EUR is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Vanguard, launched in 2019.
It tracks the Bloomberg Euro Aggregate Corporate Index - EUR - Benchmark TR Gross.
You buy and sell it through a share-dealing account or platform during stock-market hours, like a share.
Its ongoing charge is 0.07% a year — about £7 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.
