Published June 2025. In this episode of "What's the Risk?" we take a look at the historic performance of the Solactive GBS Developed Markets ex Aus Large & Mid Cap Index. Some people would know an ETF that seeks to track the performance of this index as Betashare's BGBL ETF.

This index is very similar to the MSCI World ex Australia Index which is tracked by Vanguard's VGS, and with returns being almost indistinguishable, it's then up to the investor to make a decision on where they want to get their global large to mid cap exposure from. 

Some investors will consider fees, others will base it on how robust they feel the manager is, but Peter also discusses whether that's really something that needs to be considered?
