Overview
Description
UBS MSCI USA Socially Responsible UCITS ETF (hedged to CHF) A-acc is an equity exchange-traded fund designed to provide investors exposure to the US stock market with a pronounced focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations. This ETF tracks the MSCI USA SRI Low Carbon Select 5% Issuer Capped (CHF Hedged) index, which includes only those US companies demonstrating strong ESG performance relative to sector peers while excluding firms involved significantly in non-sustainable activities such as fossil fuels or controversial industries. To maintain diversification, the index caps individual company weights at 5%.
A distinguishing feature of this ETF is its physical, full replication strategy—meaning it holds all index constituents directly—along with an accumulating distribution policy, so income generated within the fund is automatically reinvested rather than paid out as dividends. The ETF is currency-hedged to the Swiss franc (CHF), aiming to minimize the impact of US dollar-CHF exchange rate fluctuations for Swiss-based investors. The product is UCITS-compliant, offering regulatory protections and transparency. Its relatively focused basket of approximately 190 holdings targets large- and mid-cap US equities that lead in sustainable business practices, making it pertinent for investors prioritizing responsible investment principles while seeking exposure to the US equity market.
