Description
UBS SPI® ESG ETF CHF acc tracks the issuer-declared index: SPI® ESG weighted Total Return. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.12%, plus 0.01% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID.

The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words
The investment objective of the subfund is to track the price and earnings performance before costs of the SPI® ESG Weighted. This subfund invests in shares of companies that are included in the SPI® ESG Weighted and in shares that are not included in the SPI® ESG Weighted, but which have announced that they will be included in the SPI® ESG Weighted and other investments permitted under the fund contract. This subfund promotes ecological and/or social characteristics, but does not pursue a sustainable investment objective. The fund will not engage in securities lending transactions. The fund's return depends primarily on the performance of the tracked index. The sub-fund's income is not distributed, but is reinvested.

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.
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 4 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. Figures in EUR — series converted day by day at ECB reference rates; the table follows the currency selected in the chart.
