Description

Amundi Global Equity Quality Income UCITS ETF GBP Hedged Acc tracks the issuer-declared index: SG Global Quality Income Index GBP Currency Hedged - NTR. Mind the share class: this is the version hedged to GBP — returns reflect the index plus the effect (and cost) of hedging into that currency. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.45%, plus 0.00% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is synthetic replication (swap based); income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund. The fund has assets of about 99 million euro, was launched on 8 August 2014 and is domiciled in Luxembourg.

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

The Fund is an index-tracking UCITS passively managed. The investment objective of the Fund is to track both the upward and downward unlevered performance of the SG Global Quality Income NTR Index (net dividends reinvested) (the "Benchmark Index"), denominated in Euro (EUR) and representative of a panel of high quality stocks from a worldwide investment universe that are likely to distribute high level dividends, while minimizing the volatility of the difference between the return of the Fund and the return of the Benchmark Index (the "Tracking Error"). The anticipated level of Tracking Error in normal market conditions is indicated in the prospectus. Additional information about the Benchmark Index can be found at www.solactive.com The Benchmark Index is a net total return index. A net total return index calculates the performance of the index constituents on the basis that any dividends or distributions are included in the index returns after withholding tax retention.

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective via indirect replication by entering into an over-the-counter swap contract (financial derivative instrument, the FDI"). The Fund may also invest in a diversified portfolio of international equities, whose performance will be exchanged against the performance of the benchmark Index via the FDI. Updated composition of the Fund's holdings is available on www.amundietf.com In addition, the indicative net asset value is published on the Reuters and Bloomberg pages of the Fund, and might also be mentioned on the websites of the stock exchanges where the Fund is listed. In order to hedge the currency of the share against the currency of the index, the Fund uses a hedging strategy which reduces the impact of changes between the currency of the Index and the currency of the share class.

Intended Retail Investor:This product is intended for investors, with a basic knowledge of and no or limited experience of investing in funds seeking to increase the value of their investment over the recommended holding period with the ability to bear losses up to the amount invested.

Redemption and Dealing:The Sub-Fund's shares are listed and traded on one or more stock exchanges. In normal circumstances, you may deal in shares during the trading hours of the stock exchanges. Only authorised participants (e.g., selected financial institutions) may deal in shares directly with the SubFund on the primary market. Further details are provided in the MULTI UNITS LUXEMBOURG prospectus.

Distribution policy:As this is a non-distributing share class, investment income is reinvested. the accumulation share automatically retains, and re-invests, all attributable income within the Sub-Fund; thereby accumulating value in the price of the accumulation shares.

More Information:You may get further information about the Sub-Fund, including the prospectus, and financial reports which are available at and free of charge on request from: Amundi Luxembourg S.A. at 5, allée Scheffer 2520 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

Note — currency risk: the fund is denominated (or hedged) in GBP and the chart is in GBP. For a euro investor, returns also depend on the EUR/GBP exchange rate, up or down.
Currency-hedged share class: our figures are computed on the issuer’s NAV, where the hedge is applied at the daily fixing. Comparison sites using the exchange price may show returns and volatility that differ by 1–2 points: on hedged classes the price-vs-NAV gap is structurally wider and grows with the length of the window. Not a data error — a measurement convention. Details in the methodology.

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.

Source: Amundi. 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.
