Description
UBS Euro Equity Defensive Put Write SF UCITS ETF EUR acc tracks the issuer-declared index: Euro Equity Defensive Put Write index Total Return. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.21%, plus 0.00% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is synthetic replication (fully funded + total return swap). The fund has assets of about 174 million euro, was launched on 8 July 2020 and is domiciled in Ireland.
The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words
The objective of the Fund is capital appreciation. The Fund tracks the daily performance of an equity index, called the Euro Equity Defensive Put Write index (the 'Index'), less fees and costs and consequently is passively managed. The Fund invests in financial derivative instruments ('FDIs') with UBS AG, London Branch ('UBS') as counterparty. The Fund may also invest in securities (e.g. company shares and bonds issued by companies and governments). Under the terms of the FDIs, the performance of the Index is swapped from UBS to the Fund, and in return the performance of the securities is swapped from the Fund to UBS – consequently, the Fund's performance reflects the performance of the Index and is not impacted by the performance of the securities. The Index is designed to reflect the performance of a strategy which consists of: a) depositing money and earning a short-term interest rate (which maybe negative) and b) selling put options on the EURO STOXX 50® Index (the 'Underlying Index'). The seller of a put option on the Underlying Index receives a cash premium from the buyer, and in return the option buyer has the right to sell the Underlying Index at a fixed price in the future to the option seller. More information on the Index is available at www.solactive.com. The Fund does not invest directly in the short-term deposit, or sell put options - instead the Fund achieves these exposures indirectly using FDIs. As a result of fees and costs, the performance of the Fund on any day may be less than the performance of the Index on that day. Sustainability risks are not systematically integrated as they are not considered as part of the Index selection process. The return of the fund depends mainly on the performance of the tracked index. The share class does not pay dividends.

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 1 of the last 5 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.
