Important information about sustainable investments: An increasing number of products and services are using terms or labels related to sustainable investments. However, industry standards and terminology related to sustainable investments will differ and are evolving. Therefore, you should carefully review the offering materials to understand how a particular product or strategy approaches sustainable investing and if their approach aligns with your goals and objectives. At UBS Financial Services Inc., we continue to maintain and evolve our own standards and a framework for sustainable investing. However we do not review every product to determine consistency with our standards, nor do all products that we make available align with our approach. Your UBS Financial Services Inc. Financial Advisor can assist you in identifying products that we have reviewed and determined to be consistent with our standards.

At UBS Financial Services Inc., we serve as a distributor of sustainable investment strategies. We believe sustainable investment strategies should have an explicit focus on sustainability objectives or outcomes. Sustainable investments across geographies and styles approach the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors and other sustainability considerations and incorporate the findings in a variety of ways. Sustainable investing-related strategies may or may not result in favorable investment performance and the strategy may forego favorable market opportunities in order to adhere to sustainable investing-related strategies or mandates. Issuers may not necessarily meet high performance standards on all aspects of ESG or other sustainability considerations. In addition, there is no guarantee that a product’s sustainable investing-related strategy will be successful. The ability to implement the approaches to sustainable investing will depend on the product or service selected; they are not available for all products, services or accounts offered through UBS.
