Amundi Core MSCI Emerging Markets Swap UCITS ETF Dist

What this fund is

Amundi Core MSCI Emerging Markets Swap UCITS ETF Dist is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Amundi, traded under the ticker U127 (ISIN LU2573966905). 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 follows the MSCI Emerging Markets Net Total Return USD Index index (passive investing): it tracks the market rather than relying on a manager, keeping running costs down, and its largest holdings include TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFAC, SAMSUNG ELECTRONIC CO LTD and SK HYNIX INC. Geographically it leans ~28.4% Taiwan, ~21.3% South Korea and ~19.5% China.

By industry it concentrates most in ~43.7% Information Technology and ~18.9% 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 0.14% a year — about €14 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. Income such as dividends is paid out to you as cash (a distributing share class), and over the last year it paid out roughly 4.08% (its trailing yield). 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 19.8% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2023. 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.)
