UBS MSCI Emerging Markets Socially Responsible UCITS ETF

UBS MSCI Emerging Markets Socially Responsible UCITS ETF is an equity exchange-traded fund designed to provide exposure to public companies in emerging market countries, with a distinct focus on sustainability and responsible investing principles. Its central function is to replicate the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets SRI Low Carbon Select 5% Issuer Capped Index, meaning it targets stocks of large and mid-cap companies that display high ratings for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria relative to their industry peers. Companies involved in non-sustainable or ethically contentious activities are generally excluded from the portfolio, ensuring alignment with specific values-based criteria such as religious, moral, or ethical standards. Launched in 2014 and managed by UBS Asset Management, the fund offers diversified sector allocation across emerging economies, promoting market risk mitigation and the integration of ESG factors. Semi-annual dividend distributions and a competitive expense ratio further bolster its appeal among those seeking both broad geographical diversification and adherence to responsible investment standards in the global equity market.
