The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.18%, plus 0.02% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is full physical replication.

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 Europe SRI Low Carbon Select 5% Issuer Capped 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. The Index is designed to measure the performance of best-in-class Environmental, Social and Governance ('ESG') companies across 15 developed markets countries in Europe while avoiding companies with negative social or environmental impact. This best-in-class approach excludes at least 20% of the least well-rated securities as against the standard index universe (for further details please refer to the index description in the prospectus which currently provides for an exclusion of 75% of the least well rated securities). The Fund does not benefit from a French SRI label. 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 Fund will not enter into any securities lending. The return of the fund depends mainly on the performance of the tracked index. Fund income is not paid out, but instead will be reinvested.

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