Description

UBS Factor MSCI EMU Quality Screened UCITS ETF hCHF acc tracks the issuer-declared index: MSCI EMU Quality Advanced Target Select 100% Hedged to CHF Index (Net Total Return). The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.28%, plus 0.08% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. The fund was launched on 20 October 2015 and is domiciled in Luxembourg.

The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words(the issuer publishes the KID in Italian)

Il comparto è gestito in modo passivo e acquisirà un'esposizione proporzionale nelle componenti del MSCI EMU Quality Advanced Target Select 100% Hedged to CHF Index (Net Total Return) tramite investimenti diretti in tutti o praticamente tutti i titoli e/o mediante l'impiego di strumenti derivati, in particolare nei casi in cui non è possibile o praticabile replicare l'indice attraverso investimenti diretti oppure allo scopo di generare efficienze nell'acquisizione di esposizione all'indice. In alcuni casi il comparto potrebbe anche detenere titoli non compresi nell'indice se il gestore del portafoglio lo ritenesse appropriato in funzione dell'obiettivo e delle restrizioni d'investimento del comparto o di altri fattori. Il comparto investe almeno il 90% del suo patrimonio netto totale in titoli rappresentati nell'indice e il fornitore dell'indice applica i rating ESG a tutti i titoli costitutivi dell'indice. Almeno il 90% dei titoli nel comparto, fatta eccezione per la liquidità, i fondi del mercato monetario e gli strumenti derivati, presenta un rating ESG. L'indicatore dell'intensità media ponderata delle emissioni di carbonio (Scope 1+2) del comparto sarà di almeno il 20% inferiore allo stesso indicatore dell'indice di riferimento. L'esposizione all'indice tramite la replica diretta può essere penalizzata dai costi di ribilanciamento, mentre l'esposizione all'indice tramite derivati può risentire dei costi di negoziazione degli strumenti derivati. L'uso di derivati OTC comporta inoltre un rischio di controparte, che tuttavia è mitigato dalla politica di UBS (Lux) Fund Solutions in materia di garanzie. Il comparto investirà il patrimonio netto prevalentemente in azioni, valori mobiliari, strumenti del mercato monetario, quote di organismi d'investimento collettivo, depositi presso istituti di credito, titoli strutturati quotati o negoziati su un mercato regolamentato e altre attività idonee ai sensi del prospetto. Questo comparto promuove caratteristiche ambientali e/o sociali, ma non ha come obiettivo investimenti sostenibili. Il comparto non concluderà operazioni di prestito titoli. Il rendimento del fondo dipende principalmente dalla performance dell'indice replicato. I proventi del Fondo non vengono versati, bensì reinvestiti. Il rischio di cambio della valuta della classe di azioni è in larga misura coperto dalla valuta del fondo.

Note — currency risk: the fund is denominated (or hedged) in CHF and the chart is in CHF. For a euro investor, returns also depend on the EUR/CHF 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.

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