Description
UBS SMIM® ETF CHF dis tracks the issuer-declared index: SMIM® Total Return. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.25%, plus 0.01% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. The fund was launched on 8 April 2010 and is domiciled in Switzerland.
The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words
The investment objective of the sub-fund is to replicate the price and income performance before costs of the SMIM® (Total Return). This sub-fund invests in equities of companies that are included in the SMIM® and in equities that are not included in the SMIM® but for which it has been announced that they will be included in the SMIM® and other investments permitted under the fund contract. Sustainability risks are not systematically integrated as they are not taken into account as part of the index selection process. The fund's return depends primarily on the performance of the tracked index. The sub-fund's net income is distributed annually to investors within four months at most of the end of the accounting year. The fund management company may also make interim distributions from the income.

Drawdown — distance from previous peak
This isn’t the return: it shows how far the fund is below its previous peak. 0% = you’re at the peak; below zero = how much you’re down and haven’t recovered yet.

From month-end NAVs, over the fund’s full history, on the series shown in the chart (dividends reinvested where declared). Deeper colour = larger move.
Issuer-declared series with dividends reinvested: the total performance, comparable with accumulating funds. Switch it off to see the price (NAV) alone, which drops at every dividend payment.
Source: UBS. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available July 2026 — for later days the index stays at the last published value (institutes publish with a few weeks’ lag). The «adjusted for inflation» view expresses value in today’s purchasing power for the selected country; volatility always stays nominal, as elsewhere on the site (deflating it would add artificial swings caused by the monthly cadence of the price index). Past performance is not indicative of future results: these are facts, not a recommendation.
Tracking difference — fund vs index
How much the fund returned above (+) or below (−) its index, year by year. It measures the actual deviation: the combined effect of costs (TER and transaction), securities-lending revenue and replication optimisations — which is why it can beat the TER. Tracking difference was positive in 0 of the last 10 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.

Computed from the daily NAV series, always in nominal terms. Sharpe and Sortino use the ECB main refinancing rate averaged over the period (last year: 2.21%), weighted by days in force, as the risk-free rate. Same formulas as our public methodology: sample standard deviation annualised over 252 days; Sortino with downside deviation. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
