UBS Sustainable Development Bank Bonds 1-5 UCITS ETF USD dis

What this fund is

UBS Sustainable Development Bank Bonds 1-5 UCITS ETF USD dis is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from UBS, traded under the ticker SDBU (ISIN LU3065084744). 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 lending to governments and companies in return for regular interest, which tends to be steadier than shares but grows more slowly, spread across its target market. Funds like this are often used as the steadier, lower-swing part of a portfolio — the ballast that cushions the ups and downs of shares.

Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.15% a year — about €15 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 2.1% over the past year — a gauge of how much the value moves, not a judgement of quality.

It launched in 2026. 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 UBS.)
