Ireland·MSCI World Socially Responsible·Trades in EURiAnswered from the same data and calculations used above.
Yes — UBS (Irl) ETF plc – MSCI World Socially Responsible UCITS ETF (USD) A-dis (UIMS) is a distributing share class, so it pays income out to holders rather than reinvesting it. You receive cash and are typically taxed in the year of the distribution.
UBS (Irl) ETF plc – MSCI World Socially Responsible UCITS ETF (USD) A-dis (UIMS) is domiciled in Ireland (IE). A Ireland-domiciled UCITS fund receives US dividends at a 15% treaty withholding rate inside the fund, versus the 30% statutory rate on dividends paid directly to a non-resident (generally 25% for an Indian resident under the India-US treaty with a valid W-8BEN). The fund-level 15% is deducted before NAV and is not reclaimable by you. Its shares also sit outside US estate tax, which applies to US-situs assets above $60,000 for non-resident aliens.
UBS (Irl) ETF plc – MSCI World Socially Responsible UCITS ETF (USD) A-dis (UIMS) tracks the MSCI World Socially Responsible. Any fund tracking the same index gives you materially the same exposure, so cost, size and share class are usually what separate the alternatives, not the strategy.
Over the measured window UIMS showed annualised volatility of about 44.2% and a worst peak-to-trough fall of 25.7%. Volatility describes the size of a typical swing; the drawdown is what actually happened at the worst moment, and it is the number worth checking you could have held through.
UIMS returned 17.4% in total over the trailing five years, measured in EUR. Past performance describes what the index did, not what it will do, and for an index tracker it is mostly a statement about the market rather than about the manager.
