The GOVT ETF by SPDR invests in Australian Government bonds issued by the Commonwealth/Federal Government, State Governments (Semis) and territories.
The GOVT ETF ultimately ends up invested in Australian Government bonds, semi-government bonds (e.g., state governments) and high grade corporates and supranational entities. The bonds have maturities ranging from 0 years to 20+ years, with the average for the Government bonds held by the ETF falling between 5 and 12 years.
As it can be quite difficult for small investors to get exposure to the Government bond market, an investor could use the GOVT ETF to get exposure to the highest grade bonds in Australia.
