Description and fund objective

UBS MSCI World UCITS ETF USD dis tracks the issuer-declared index: MSCI World Total Return Net. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.30%, plus 0.01% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is full physical replication; income is distributed to investors. The fund has assets of about 1.4 billion euro, was launched on 25 June 2008 and is domiciled in Luxembourg. In our registry 2 other ETFs declare the same index.

The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words

The Fund is passively managed and will take proportionate exposure on the components of the MSCI World Index (Net Return) either through direct investments in all or substantially all of the component securities and/or through the use of derivatives in particular where it may not be possible or practicable to replicate the index through direct investments or in order to generate efficiencies in gaining exposure to the index.

Keep reading the KID section ▾

There may also be instances where a sub-fund holds securities which are not comprised in its index if the portfolio manager of respective subfund believes this to be appropriate considering the sub-fund's investment objective and the investment restrictions or other factors. Exposure to the index through direct replication may be affected by rebalancing costs, while exposure to the index through derivatives may be affected by derivative trading costs. The use of OTC derivatives further engenders counterparty risk which is however mitigated by UBS (Lux) Fund Solutions collateral policy. The sub-fund will invest its net assets predominantly in shares, transferable securities, money market instruments, units of undertakings for collective investment, deposits with credit institutions, structured notes listed or dealt in on a regulated market and other assets eligible under the prospectus. The sub-fund may enter into securities lending transactions. 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. This class distributes its net income in order to maintain the maximum tracking accuracy of the MSCI World Index (Net Return).

Intended retail investorThis fund applies to retail investors with a basic financial understanding, who can accept a possible loss on the investment amount. The fund is aimed at growing the investment value, while granting daily access to the capital under normal market conditions. With their investment in this fund, investors can satisfy medium term investment needs. The fund is suited to be acquired by the target client segments without any restriction of the distribution channel or platform.

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: Rebalix calculation from the declared distributions). Deeper colour = larger move.

Method and sources

Switch on: series with distributions reinvested, rebuilt by Rebalix — the distributions declared by the issuer are reinvested at the NAV on the ex-date. It is the total return, comparable with accumulating classes. Switch off: NAV without reinvestment, which drops at every distribution.
Source: UBS. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available September 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 10 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: 2.25%), 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.

Differently-worded variants (or other index versions) are not shown: a short list beats a wrong match. Sorted as follows: Milan-listed classes first, then the others; within each group by ascending TER, then by descending assets. A dash “—” = not declared by the issuer in the files we read — not a zero.

For these exchanges none of the listing sources Rebalix covers provides a ticker; the listing is known from the ESMA register (FIRDS) or declared by the issuer. For Börse Düsseldorf the ESMA register records the listing on 2 segments of the same operator, shown as a single row. For Börse Frankfurt the ESMA register records the listing on 2 segments of the same operator, shown as a single row. For Börse Hamburg the ESMA register records the listing on 3 segments of the same operator, shown as a single row. For Börse Hannover the ESMA register records the listing on 2 segments of the same operator, shown as a single row. For Börse München / gettex the ESMA register records the listing on 2 segments of the same operator, shown as a single row. For Börse Stuttgart the ESMA register records the listing on 3 segments of the same operator, shown as a single row.
+ 5 other trading platforms (platforms for professional participants and segments without admission to listing, such as an exchange operator’s dark books or auctions): they are not exchanges and are not listed.
Exchanges are taken from the official ESMA register (FIRDS) and, where FIRDS does not cover the exchange (London, Zurich) or does not record the current listing, from the issuers’ product lists and documents: the “Exchange source” column says so row by row. Each exchange is a single row, with all its markets and segments. Tickers come from the issuers’ product lists and tax documents or, where indicated, from ISIN→exchange mapping under the open FIGI standard (OpenFIGI). Activity on a dark book, an auction or an ancillary platform does not prove a listing on the exchange that operates it. Rebalix mainly covers venues in the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the United Kingdom: when the issuer declares current listings in other jurisdictions too, they appear with their source, outside the ESMA register perimeter. Terminated or cancelled listings are not shown. The same fund may trade in different currencies depending on the exchange: check the trading currency with your broker.
