Amundi MSCI Emerging Markets SRI Climate Paris Aligned UCITS ETF DR (D)

What this fund is

Amundi MSCI Emerging Markets SRI Climate Paris Aligned UCITS ETF DR (D) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Amundi, traded under the ticker MSDU (ISIN LU2059756754). 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. Rather than a manager picking stocks, it simply replicates the MSCI Emerging Markets SRI filtered PAB Index index — the passive, low-cost approach, and its largest holdings include TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFAC, UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORP and SAMSUNG ELECTRO MECHANICS. Spread across roughly 145 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 45.3%), no one position makes or breaks the fund.

Geographically it leans ~35.5% Taiwan, ~19% China and ~15.4% South Korea. Its heaviest sectors are ~39.5% Information Technology and ~17.9% Financials. Funds like this are commonly chosen by investors who want a regular cash income stream rather than reinvesting everything for growth. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.25% a year — about €25 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 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 18.1% over the past year — a gauge of how much the value moves, not a judgement of quality. 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 Amundi.)
