Overview

This actively managed, defensive equity fund invests in companies from Euro countries that offer a high dividend yield.

The fund aims to generate additional income through call overwriting.

The fund focuses on quality factors to exclude low quality stocks, including the company’s ability to pay stable or growing dividends.

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) as well as income (e.g. from dividends). See risk section below.

Benefits

Easy access to a high quality, defensive equity portfolio which aims to provide some downside cushion during market corrections.

Strong income component generated from dividends and call option premiums.

Investors can profit from a portfolio that seeks optimal diversification - low single stock weights and broad country and sector allocations.

Risks

UBS Equity Funds invest in equities and may therefore be subject to high fluctuations in value. As these UBS funds pursue an active management style, each fund's performance can deviate substantially from that of its reference index. Sustainability risks are environmental, social or governance events or conditions that can have a material negative effect on the return, depending on the relevant sector, industry and company exposure. Sustainability risk: the risk arising from any environmental, social or governance events or conditions that, were they to occur, could cause a material negative impact on the value of the investment. All investments are subject to market fluctuations. Every fund has specific risks, which can significantly increase under unusual market conditions. The fund can use derivatives, which may result in additional risks (particularly counterparty risk). In distributing share classes, the equity yield, net of fund fees, will be distributed. The distributing (-dist) share classes of this fund intend to distribute capital as well as income (e.g. from dividends). Investors in some jurisdictions may incur a higher rate of tax on distributed capital than on any capital gains which are realized on disposal of fund shares. Some investors may therefore choose to invest in the accumulating (-acc) instead of the distributing (-dist) share classes. Investors may be taxed at a later point in time on income and capital arising on accumulating (-acc) share classes compared to distributing (-dist) share classes. Investors should seek their own tax advice. This Fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money before the recommended holding period disclosed in the PRIIPs KID, if available for this share class.
