## Summary

Vanguard Global Government Bond UCITS ETF Accum-Hedged- USD is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Vanguard, launched in 2025. It tracks the Bloomberg Global Treasury Developed Countries Float Adjusted Index - EUR - Benchmark TR Net. You buy and sell it through a share-dealing account or platform during stock-market hours, like a share. Its ongoing charge is 0.1% a year — about £10 a year on every £10,000 invested, taken from the fund's value rather than billed to you.
