UBS BBG MSCI Global Liquid Corp Sustainable UCITS ETF hUSD acc

What this fund is

UBS BBG MSCI Global Liquid Corp Sustainable UCITS ETF hUSD acc is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from UBS, traded under the ticker CORPS (ISIN LU2099991882). 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 broadly across markets worldwide. Rather than a manager picking stocks, it simply replicates the BBG MSCI Global Liquid Corp Sustainable index — the passive, low-cost approach, and its largest holdings include PFE 5.3 05/19/53, WBD 5.141 03/15/52 and BAC 5.468 01/23/35. By geography it is weighted towards ~3.4% United States.

Its heaviest sectors are ~1.7% Financials and ~1.1% Health Care. 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 0.16% a year — about €16 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 3% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2021. 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.)
