UBS MSCI United Kingdom IMI Socially Responsible UCITS ETF AccumGBP
UBS MSCI United Kingdom IMI Socially Responsible UCITS ETF (Acc, GBP) (GB:UKSA) is a passive, UCITS-compliant exchange-traded fund designed to provide broad, total‑market exposure to UK equities while applying explicit socially responsible investment (SRI) screens. Built on MSCI’s IMI (Investable Market Index) framework, the fund covers large, mid and small‑cap companies across the United Kingdom so investors gain diversified exposure to the full UK equity market cap spectrum—while tilting the investable universe toward businesses that meet ESG-related criteria.
Category and focus
- Size & Style — Total Market, Broad‑based SRI niche: the ETF targets a broad, market‑wide footprint (large, mid and small caps) within a socially responsible investment mandate, making it suitable for investors who want comprehensive UK equity coverage with sustainability constraints.
What it does
- Tracks an MSCI United Kingdom IMI Socially Responsible index, selecting companies based on ESG considerations and excluding businesses that don’t meet predefined ethical screens. The fund reinvests dividends (Accumulation share class, GBP).
ESG exclusions and impact
- The fund explicitly excludes companies involved in nuclear power, tobacco, alcohol, gambling, military weapons, civilian firearms and genetically modified organisms, among other disallowed activities. These exclusions reduce exposure to certain sectors and companies relative to an unconstrained UK market index and may introduce sector concentration differences and performance divergence versus the broad market.
Who it’s for
- Investors seeking a one‑ticket, passive solution for broad UK equity exposure who want to limit exposure to specified controversial industries and align holdings with SRI principles, while benefiting from UCITS investor protections and the convenience of accumulated income in GBP.
Considerations
- As with any screened index fund, the sustainability filters can lead to different risk/return characteristics compared with a traditional UK market ETF. Prospective investors should understand the index methodology, exclusion rules and potential tracking error before investing.
