UBS Core MSCI World UCITS ETF hCHF acc

What this fund is

UBS Core MSCI World UCITS ETF hCHF acc is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from UBS, traded under the ticker WORLD (ISIN IE000N6LBS91). One trade buys a whole basket of holdings, so your money is spread out instead of riding on a single company. In plain terms it is about owning small slices of companies, so you share in their growth when they do well — and their falls when they don't, spread broadly across markets worldwide. It passively tracks the MSCI World index — mirroring that market instead of paying a manager to pick winners, which keeps costs low, and its largest holdings include APPLE INC, NVIDIA CORP and MICROSOFT CORP. By geography it is weighted towards ~25.9% United States.

Its heaviest sectors are ~16.4% Technology and ~5.7% Communication Services. Investors often use a broad fund like this as a long-term 'core' holding — a single building block that covers much of a global portfolio in one trade. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.09% a year — about €9 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. It is an accumulating share class: dividends are rolled straight back in, compounding your returns rather than landing in your account as cash. It holds the underlying investments directly (physical replication); it is domiciled in Ireland and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in CHF.

Its price has swung about 11.3% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2024. Like any investment, it can lose value as well as gain, and what it did before does not predict what it will do next. (Fund data sourced from UBS.)
