Amundi Core FTSE 100 Swap UCITS ETF USD Hedged Acc

Amundi Core FTSE 100 Swap UCITS ETF USD Hedged Acc is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Amundi, traded under the ticker 100H (ISIN LU1650492504). 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 FTSE 100 100% Hedged to USD Net Tax Index index (passive investing): it tracks the market rather than relying on a manager, keeping running costs down, and its largest holdings include HSBC HOLDINGS PLC, ASTRAZENECA GBP and SHELL PLC GBP. Its biggest country exposures are ~100% United Kingdom. By industry it concentrates most in ~27.6% Financials and ~13.9% Industrials. 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 0.3% a year — about €30 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 Luxembourg and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in USD. Its price has swung about 11.5% over the past year — a gauge of how much the value moves, not a judgement of quality. It launched in 2017. 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 Amundi.)
