UBS Sharia-Compliant Deposit (Commodity Murabaha)

The UBS Sharia-Compliant Deposit lets you invest surplus liquidity for defined periods through a commodity transaction.

This product is a fixed-term investment that lets you invest surplus liquidity for defined periods of up to one year through a commodity transaction. The product is designed for risk-conscious investors with a conservative investment strategy looking for full protection of the principal (capital protection) as well as the profit at maturity.

A fixed-term Islamic investment

A UBS Sharia-Compliant Deposit (commodity murabaha) is a fixed-term investment for up to one year involving the purchase and sale of commodities (base metals).

Under a UBS Sharia-Compliant Deposit you buy base metals from a commodity supplier and sell these to UBS AG, Jersey (the “Buyer”) via UBS AG, Zurich (the “Agent”). While the cash price for the purchase of the base metals is settled on the spot, the sale price is paid on a deferred basis and incorporates an element of profit for you.

UBS Sharia-Compliant Deposits offer full capital protection and market-related returns. An investment in this product is for a fixed period and cannot be terminated or sold before maturity.

Your benefits at a glance
  • Protected principal and profit at maturity

  • Tailor-made solutions also for private investors starting at USD 250,000

  • Flexible choice of investment currency and tenor (up to one year)

Investor profile and suitability

  • You are a risk-conscious investor and wish to pursue a conservative investment strategy.

  • You have a short-term investment horizon (up to one year maximum) which corresponds to the tenor of the product.

  • You wish to diversify your portfolio and seek a simple and transparent investment instrument that is largely independent of the performance of the equity markets.

Risks

  • Sharia-Compliant Deposits are usually issued by UBS AG Jersey Branch, which means that investors are exposed to the credit risk of UBS AG.

  • You are prepared to hold the investment until maturity, as Sharia-Compliant Deposits are usually tailor-made buy-and-hold products for which there is no secondary market.
