What is VAGF?
VAGF is Vanguard Global Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF EUR Hedged, the European-listed product BestFolio uses when translating BNDX. Most targets are UCITS ETFs; some commodity and leveraged targets are UCITS-eligible ETCs or ETPs instead. Product structure and retail eligibility must be checked for the exact ISIN.
BNDX = ex-US intl bonds. VAGF = global aggregate (includes US ~40%). No ex-US aggregate bond UCITS exists. TER 0.10%. The source ticker has 1x exposure and the mapped target has 1x exposure, so BestFolio can flag leverage differences during allocation translation.
