Looking For Global Fixed-Rate Bond Exposure?
We are delighted to announce that Coolabah’s daily-liquidity, long-duration global bond strategy is now available via the Coolabah Active Global Bond Complex ETF (ASX: GFXD).
Like the Coolabah Active Composite Bond Complex ETF (CBOE: FIXD), which is benchmarked to the Australian bond market, GFXD provides investors with exposure to fixed-rate bonds (interest rate duration) and is designed to benefit from declining government bond yields. GFXD, however, provides this exposure through global bond markets.
GFXD maintains interest rate duration in line with the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate Index, while seeking to add value through Coolabah’s highly active security selection and trading process. The Fund invests in high-grade, liquid government, bank and corporate bonds issued in G10 currencies, with all foreign currency exposure hedged back to Australian dollars. The portfolio targets an average credit rating of A.
Over the 12 months to 31 May 2026, the Fund* returned 6.11% net of fees, outperforming the Index return of 5.24% by 0.87%.
Since inception, the Fund has returned 3.88% p.a. net of fees versus 3.27% p.a. for the Index, generating outperformance of 0.61% p.a.
As at 31 May 2026, the Fund had:
- a gross running yield of 5.7% p.a.; and
- an average credit rating of A.
The Fund* also holds a Recommended rating from Zenith.
