USIG questions answered
Written from the latest data on this page. General information only, not financial advice.
How diversified is Global X USD Corporate Bond ETF (Currency Hedged)?
Global X USD Corporate Bond ETF (Currency Hedged) holds 3,323 securities.
Which ETFs does USIG double up with most?
No other ASX fund shares more than 10% of its holdings with USIG, and no fund's returns track it closely, so it offers a fairly distinct exposure.
How is Global X USD Corporate Bond ETF (Currency Hedged) managed – active or passive?
Global X USD Corporate Bond ETF (Currency Hedged) is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks.
Among Global ex-Australia fixed income funds, active funds charge a median 0.59% a year and index funds 0.26%.
What will I pay in fees for USIG?
USIG charges a management fee of 0.30% a year, about $30 for every $10,000 invested. That is cheaper than 66% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track, where the median fee is 0.44%. Among Global ex-Australia fixed income funds, the median is 0.28%.
Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include Vanguard Global Aggregate Bond Index (Hedged) ETF (VBND) at 0.20%, Vanguard International Fixed Interest Index (Hedged) ETF (VIF) at 0.20% and Betashares Global Aggregate Bond Currency Hedged ETF (WBND) at 0.19%.
If you would rather have a manager choose the investments, active options such as VanEck Bentham Global Capital Securities Active ETF (GCAP) at 0.59% and Coolabah Active Global Bond Complex ETF (GFXD) at 0.69% cost more.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.28% for USIG.
Does Global X USD Corporate Bond ETF (Currency Hedged) follow a theme?
No. Global X USD Corporate Bond ETF (Currency Hedged) is a broad fixed income fund: it aims to cover a wide slice of its market (Global ex-Australia) rather than one theme or sector.
What is under the hood of USIG?
As at 1 Sept 2026, USIG's ten largest holdings are Abibb 4.9 02/01/46 (0.2%), Cvs 5.05 03/25/48 (0.2%), Spcx 5.35 07/15/31 (0.2%), Tmus 3 7/8 04/15/30 (0.2%), Meta 4 7/8 11/15/35 (0.1%), Chtr 7.337 09/01/41 (0.1%), Meta 5 1/4 05/15/36 (0.1%), Amzn 4 7/8 03/13/36 (0.1%), Spcx 5.65 07/15/33 (0.1%) and Spcx 5 7/8 07/15/36 (0.1%).

It follows an index; the issuer's PDS sets out how that index chooses and weights its holdings.
How well has Global X USD Corporate Bond ETF (Currency Hedged) performed?
Based on its category, Global X USD Corporate Bond ETF (Currency Hedged) aims mainly to pay a regular income, with capital growth secondary.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned −3.4% over 1 year (median −0.7%; ranked 12 of 12) and 5.6% a year over 3 years (median 5.2% a year; ranked 5 of 10). The medians and rankings compare it with Global ex-Australia fixed income funds. Since listing in 2023 it has returned 1.8% a year.
Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for USIG; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.30% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
