UBS MSCI Japan Socially Responsible UCITS ETF hCHF dis

What this fund is

UBS MSCI Japan Socially Responsible UCITS ETF hCHF dis is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from UBS — a single investment you can buy in one trade that bundles many holdings together, so your money is spread out instead of riding on one company. It invests in company shares (also called stocks or equities), focused on Japanese companies. It aims to track the MSCI Japan index, which means its value moves roughly in line with that market instead of relying on a manager to pick winners — a hands-off style known as passive (or index) investing that typically keeps running costs down. It does this by actually owning the underlying investments (called physical replication). Income the holdings generate, such as dividends, is paid out to you as cash (a distributing share class). Its ongoing charge is 0.22% a year — about €22 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. The fund is domiciled in Luxembourg and is UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors. It launched in 2015. As with any investment, its value can go down as well as up, and past performance is not a guide to future results.
