UBS BBG MSCI US Liquid Corp Sustainable UCITS ETF USD acc

What this fund is

UBS BBG MSCI US Liquid Corp Sustainable UCITS ETF USD acc is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from UBS, traded under the ticker CBSUUSD (ISIN LU1215461168). It lets you buy a basket of holdings in a single trade, spreading your money across them rather than one 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 BBG MSCI US Liquid Corp Sustainable index — mirroring that market instead of paying a manager to pick winners, which keeps costs low, and its largest holdings include AMAZON.COM INC 4.875%/26-130336, AMZN 5.8 03/13/56 and SALESFORCE INC 5.55%/26-150336. By geography it is weighted towards ~5% United States.

By industry it concentrates most in ~2.4% Technology and ~1.7% Consumer Discretionary. 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 0.13% a year — about €13 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 holds the underlying investments directly (physical replication); it is domiciled in Luxembourg and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in USD.

Its price has swung about 22.2% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2019. 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.)
