UBS S&P 500 Equal Weight SF UCITS ETF USD dis

What this fund is

UBS S&P 500 Equal Weight SF UCITS ETF USD dis is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from UBS, traded under the ticker S5EW (ISIN IE000OAZZ3X6). 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 across its target market. It passively tracks the S&P 500 Equal Weight index — mirroring that market instead of paying a manager to pick winners, which keeps costs low.

It is commonly used to tilt a portfolio towards one market, usually alongside broader, more global funds rather than on its own. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.12% a year — about €12 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. It is a distributing share class — dividends are paid to you as cash rather than reinvested. It tracks its index through a swap agreement rather than owning every holding (synthetic replication); it is domiciled in Ireland and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in USD.

Its price has swung about 21279.6% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2025. As with any investment, its value can go down as well as up, and past performance is not a guide to future results. (Fund data sourced from UBS.)
