Description
UBS SBI® Foreign AAA-BBB 1-5 ESG UCITS ETF CHF dis tracks the issuer-declared index: SBI® ESG Foreign AAA-BBB 1-5 Total Return. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.20%, plus 0.01% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is physical replication: optimised for equities, sampled for bonds. The fund has assets of about 667 million euro, was launched on 30 July 2013 and is domiciled in Luxembourg.
The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words
The Fund is passively managed and will take proportionate exposure on the components of the SBI® ESG Foreign AAA-BBB 1-5 Index (Total Return) using a stratified approach (stratified sampling strategy) by investing in a representative sample of components of the index selected by the portfolio manager using a 'portfolio optimisation' technique. The proportionate exposure by the Fund to the component securities will be substantially achieved either through direct investment or through the use of derivatives or through a combination of both techniques. The Fund may further hold securities which are not comprised in its Index if the portfolio manager believes this to be appropriate considering the Fund's investment objective and the investment restrictions or other factors. The Fund will invest its net assets predominantly in bonds, 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. 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. This class distributes its net income in order to maintain the maximum tracking accuracy of the SBI® ESG Foreign AAA-BBB 1-5 Index (Total Return).

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

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.
