Overview
This actively managed, defensive equity fund invests in companies from the US that are expected to offer a high yield from share buybacks and dividends.
The fund focuses on quality factors to exclude low quality stocks, including the company’s ability to pay stable or growing dividends.
The fund aims to generate additional income through call overwriting.
The strategy is based on a quantitative model.
This fund promotes environmental, social and corporate governance characteristics. The research and portfolio construction processes incorporate ESG risk integration and screening and comply with UBS SA国际传谋 Sustainability exclusion policy. For more information on Sustainability at UBS, please refer to www.ubs.com/am-si-commitment.
The portfolio manager is not tied to the benchmark in terms of investment selection or weight.
The distributing (-dist) share classes of this sub-fund intend to distribute capital (premiums from writing call options and the share buyback yield) as well as income (e.g. from dividends). See risk section below.
