UBS (Lux) Strategy Fund

Sustainably pursuing your investment goals

Please read the important information of the fund before proceeding

Important information for UBS (Lux) Strategy Fund – Fixed Income Sustainable (USD)*, UBS (Lux) Strategy Fund – Yield Sustainable (USD)*, UBS (Lux) Strategy Fund – Balanced Sustainable (USD)* and UBS (Lux) Strategy Fund – Growth Sustainable (USD)* (collectively, the “Fund(s)”)

1. The Funds’ sustainable investment focus carries the risk that the Funds may underperform funds that do not utilize a sustainable investment strategy. Further, the implementation of the sustainable investment strategy may result in foregoing opportunities to buy certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so, and/or selling securities when it might be disadvantageous to do so, which may adversely affect the Funds’ investment performance.

2. In assessing the eligibility of an issuer, there is a dependence upon information and data from external research data providers and internal analyses, which may be subjective, incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable. As a result, there is a risk of incorrectly or subjectively assessing a security or issuer or there is a risk that the Funds could have exposure to issuers who do not meet the relevant criteria. In addition, there is a lack of standardized taxonomy of ESG investments.

3. The Funds may gain exposure to their investments via collective investment schemes in which case the Funds will not have control of the investments of the underlying funds and will be subject to the risks associated with the underlying funds, particularly where the Funds predominantly invest in underlying funds.

4. In respect of unit class with “-mdist” in their name, dividends may be paid out of capital which may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per unit. Payment of dividends out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment.

5. The distribution amount and net asset value of the hedged class of units may be adversely affected by differences in the interest rates of the reference currency of the hedged class and each of the Fund’s base currency, resulting in an increase in the amount of distribution that is paid out of capital and hence a greater erosion of capital than other non-hedged classes.

6. Unit classes with a fixed percentage in their names do not distribute a fixed amount. The absolute distributions received by investors may vary from month to month depending on the net asset value of each of the Fund as of the end of the month.

7. This investment may involve risks that could result in loss of part or entire amount of investors’ investment.

8. Investors should not invest in the Funds solely based on this document and should read the relevant offering documents for further details including risk factors.

9. Investors are responsible for their investment decisions and should seek independent financial and professional advice if required.

What does S mean?

Workplace safety, discrimination and diversity, supply chain, community controversies, human rights.

What could be affected?

Companies may struggle from conflicts with local communities, and investments can suffer due to customer boycotts.

Governance

What does G mean?

Corruption, tax gaps, anti-competitive behavior, business ethics, board structure.

What could be affected?
