Products and Services

The UBS ETF Factor USA PV ESG Hedged D offers a unique blend of services and investment strategies, including:

• ESG-Centric Investment: At its core, the ETF focuses on companies that excel in addressing Environmental, Social, and Governance challenges. This strategy appeals to investors looking to make a positive impact through their investment choices, ensuring their capital is deployed towards businesses that prioritize sustainability and ethical practices.
• Factor-Based Exposure: The fund incorporates a multi-factor investment approach, targeting stocks that exhibit characteristics like value (stocks priced lower than their perceived value), momentum (stocks in an uptrend), quality (companies with stable earnings and low debt levels), and size (small to mid-size companies with growth potential). This strategy aims to leverage different market cycles and investor sentiments to generate returns.
• Currency Hedging: Recognizing the risks associated with currency fluctuations, particularly for investors whose base currency is not the U.S. dollar, the ETF employs a currency hedging strategy. This mitigates the impact of exchange rate volatility, providing a more stable investment experience for international investors.
• Sector Diversification: The ETF’s investment portfolio spans a broad array of sectors, focusing on industries and companies that adhere to strong ESG standards. This diversification serves to reduce risk and capitalize on growth opportunities in sectors committed to sustainability.
