UBS MSCI EM SF UCITS ETF USD acc

UBS MSCI EM SF UCITS ETF USD acc is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from UBS, traded under the ticker 0Y0L (ISIN IE00B3Z3FS74). In a single purchase you get a diversified basket of holdings rather than a stake in just one business. 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 follows the MSCI EM SF index (passive investing): it tracks the market rather than relying on a manager, keeping running costs down. 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 0.14% a year — about €14 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. Income such as dividends is automatically reinvested inside the fund (an accumulating share class), so returns compound without you doing anything. 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 24.1% over the past year — a gauge of how much the value moves, not a judgement of quality. It launched in 2011. 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.)
