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 The MSCI Australia Index (Net Return) (l'«Indice»).

Keep reading the KID section ▾

L'Indice è concepito per misurare la performance delle società a media e alta capitalizzazione quotate sui mercati in Australia.

Il Fondo cercherà di detenere tutte le azioni dell'Indice nella medesima percentuale, in modo tale che il portafoglio del Fondo sarà sostanzialmente un'immagine quasi speculare dell'Indice. Nel cercare di realizzare il suo obiettivo d'investimento di replicare l'andamento 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. Per ridurre il rischio o i costi o per generare capitale o reddito aggiuntivo, il Fondo può utilizzare strumenti derivati. L'uso di strumenti derivati può moltiplicare i guadagni o le perdite del Fondo relativi a un determinato investimento o ai suoi investimenti in generale. Nel Fondo possono essere disponibili anche classi di quote con copertura valutaria. Il Fondo può effettuare operazioni di prestito titoli. I rischi di sostenibilità non sono sistematicamente integrati in quanto non sono considerati parte del processo di selezione dell'Indice. Il rendimento del fondo dipende principalmente dalla performance dell'indice replicato. Questa classe distribuisce i proventi netti al fine di replicare il parametro di riferimento The MSCI Australia Index (Net Return) nel modo più preciso possibile.

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, 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.
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 7 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.
