The fund in context

UBS MSCI ACWI Socially Responsible UCITS Hedged A Acc EUR competes with 5 other products on the same index (MSCI ACWI Socially Responsible): it ranks 1st by fund size and 1st by ongoing cost, with a TER of 0.30% against a group median of 0.30%. It has been listed since 2017, 9 years of track record — the oldest in its comparison group.

On a €10,000 investment the TER costs 30 € a year, and no product in the group costs less.

Replication is physical: the fund holds the underlying securities directly. The ten largest positions account for 33.6% of the portfolio.

Income is accumulated: no distribution is paid out, the share price absorbs it. In a savings plan this removes the need to reinvest dividends by hand. The fund is denominated in EUR and is a currency-hedged share class: the hedge aims to neutralise the effect of the underlying currencies against the reference currency, at an implicit cost that varies with interest-rate differentials.

Irish domicile lets the fund apply the Ireland–US tax treaty, with 15% withholding instead of 30% on US dividends received by the fund.
