UBS MSCI Japan Climate Paris Aligned UCITS ETF JPY acc tracks the issuer-declared index: MSCI Japan Climate Paris Aligned PAB Index JPY Net Total Return Index. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.12%, plus 0.01% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is full physical replication. The fund has assets of about 144 million euro, was launched on 11 March 2021 and is domiciled in Ireland.
The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words
The Fund is passively managed and seeks to track performance of the MSCI Japan Climate Paris Aligned PAB Index JPY Net Total Return Index (the 'Index'). The Index is an equity index denominated in JPY and includes large and mid-cap securities of the Japanese equity markets. The Index is designed support investors seeking to reduce their exposure to transition and physical climate risks and who wish to pursue opportunities arising from the transition to a lower-carbon economy while aligning with the Paris Agreement requirements. The Index seeks to achieve this through overweighting companies on a credible path to de-carbonisation or offering green solutions, while also underweighting companies that are poorly positioned for the transition to a lower-carbon economy and by limiting exposure to growing physical risk. This Fund will seek to hold the majority of the securities of the Index, with the approximate weightings as in the Index, so that essentially, the portfolio of the Fund will be a near mirror-image of the components of the Index. The Fund may also hold securities which are not comprised in its Index, including, for example, securities in respect of which there has been an announcement or it is expected that they will shortly be included in the Index. The Fund may, for the purpose of reducing risk, reducing costs of generating additional capital or income, use derivative instruments. The use of derivative instruments may multiply the gains or losses made by the Fund on a given investment of on its investments generally. This sub-fund promotes environmental and/or social characteristics but does not have a sustainable investment objective. The Fund will not enter into any securities lending. The return of the fund depends mainly on the performance of the tracked index. Fund income is not paid out, but instead will be reinvested.

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.
