Vanguard International Shares Select Exclusions Index Fund (Hedged) – NZD Class
Managed by Vanguard Foreign-tax (FIF) treatment — not a New Zealand PIE
This fund is structured as an Australian Unit Trust. NZ investors generally pay tax under the Foreign Investment Fund (FIF) rules and need to file an income-tax return each year disclosing FIF income. It does not qualify for the PIR-capped tax treatment that applies to NZ PIE funds. Consider tax implications carefully — and check IRD guidance or talk to an adviser.

Fund size

NZD-hedged class of the same MSCI World ex Australia, ex Tobacco, ex Controversial Weapons, ex Nuclear Weapons Index strategy. Currency exposure on the international portfolio is hedged back to NZD, which removes most NZD/foreign-currency volatility but adds a hedging cost.
