UBS ETF launches two MSCI World UCITS ETF on the LSE

UBS (Irl) ETF plc – MSCI World UCITS ETF

The Fund is passively managed and seeks to track performance of the MSCI World Index (Net Return). The Index is designed to measure the performance of mid and large capitalisation companies which are listed on worldwide markets.

The Fund uses a sampling strategy investing in a representative sample of constituent stocks of the Index selected by the investment manager using quantitative analytical models in a technique known as ‘portfolio optimization’. In seeking to implement its investment objective of tracking the performance of the Index, the Fund may also in exceptional circumstances hold securities which are not comprised in its Index, including, for example, securities in respect of which there has been an announcement or it is expected that they will shortly be included in the Index. The Fund may, for the purpose of reducing risk, reducing costs or generating additional capital or income, use derivative instruments.
