The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words(the issuer publishes the KID in Italian)

Il Fondo è a gestione passiva e mira a replicare la performance dell'indice MSCI Australia Universal Low Carbon Select 5% Issuer Capped Index (Net Total Return) (l'«Indice»).

Keep reading the KID section ▾

L'Indice è concepito per misurare la performance di una strategia d'investimento che, discostandosi dalle ponderazioni sulla base della capitalizzazione di mercato corretta per il flottante libero, cercano di ottenere un'esposizione a società che dimostrano sia un ragguardevole profilo ambientale, sociale e di governance (ESG) sia una tendenza positiva di miglioramento di questo profilo, ricorrendo a esclusioni minime rispetto all'MSCI Australia Index. Almeno il 90% dei titoli del Fondo, fatta eccezione per la liquidità, i fondi del mercato monetario e gli strumenti derivati, è dotato di rating ESG. Adottando la metodologia ESG dell'Indice, il Fondo applica l'approccio basato sul miglioramento degli indicatori extra finanziari ai sensi dei Regolamenti dell'AMF, che mirano a promuovere l'uso di indicatori non finanziari più robusti. L'indicatore ambientale medio ponderato (Intensità di carbonio (1 e 2)) delle emissioni del Fondo quale indicatore extra finanziario rilevante per il Fondo sarà almeno del 20% inferiore all'indicatore ambientale medio ponderato dell'Indice di riferimento (definito di seguito) in base a una riduzione dell'intensità delle emissioni di carbonio.

Il Fondo cercherà di detenere tutte le azioni dell'Indice nella medesima percentuale, in modo tale che di fatto il portafoglio del Fondo sarà un'immagine quasi speculare dell'Indice. Nel cercare di realizzare il suo obiettivo d'investimento di replicare la performance dell'Indice, in circostanze eccezionali il Fondo può anche detenere titoli che non sono inclusi nell'Indice, tra cui, ad esempio, titoli per i quali è stato annunciato o è previsto che verranno presto inclusi nell'Indice. Questo comparto promuove caratteristiche ambientali e/o sociali ma non ha come obiettivo investimenti sostenibili. Il Fondo non concluderà operazioni di prestito titoli. I proventi del Fondo non vengono versati, bensì reinvestiti.

Investitore al dettagliocui si intende commercializzare il prodotto Questo fondo è destinato a investitori retail con conoscenze di base in materia finanziaria, che sono in grado di sostenere una possibile perdita sull'importo investito. Il fondo mira a far crescere il valore dell'investimento e si rivolge agli investitori che hanno una preferenza per gli investimenti sostenibili, fornendo al contempo accesso giornaliero al capitale in condizioni di mercato normali. Mediante questo fondo, gli investitori possono soddisfare le loro necessità di investimento a medio termine. Questo fondo è indicato per essere acquistato dai segmenti di clientela target senza restrizioni a livello di canale o di piattaforma di distribuzione.

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.

Windows longer than the available price history cannot be computed and are not shown: they will appear on their own as time passes. 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.
