Overview
Uses a synthetic (swap-based) replication structure to achieve one of the lowest TERs in its category. Swap ETFs typically show lower tracking error but carry counterparty risk — worth understanding before a 20-year commitment.
TER, domicile and distribution policy from the current KIID; AUM from the provider's daily fund page. Methodology →
