Description

UBS Factor MSCI EMU Quality Screened UCITS ETF EUR dis tracks the issuer-declared index: MSCI EMU Quality Advanced Target Select Index (Net Total Return). The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.25%, plus 0.08% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is full physical replication. The fund has assets of about 69 million euro, was launched on 18 August 2015 and is domiciled in Luxembourg.

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

The sub-fund is passively managed and will take proportionate exposure on the components of the MSCI EMU Quality Advanced Target Select Index (Net Total 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. There may also be instances where a sub-fund holds securities which are not comprised in its index if the portfolio manager of respective sub-fund believes this to be appropriate considering the sub-fund's investment objective and the investment restrictions or other factors. The sub-fund invests at least 90% of its total net assets in securities that are constituents of the index and the index provider applies ESG Ratings on all of its constituents. At least 90% of the securities in the sub-und, excluding cash, money market funds and derivatives have an ESG rating. The Weighted average carbon intensity (Scope 1+2) indicator of the sub-fund will be at least 20% lower than the same indicator of the parent index. 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. This sub-fund promotes environmental and/or social characteristics but does not have a sustainable investment objective. The sub-fund will not enter into securities lending transactions. 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 EMU Quality Advanced Target Select Index (Net 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 7 of the last 9 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.
