UBS ETFs - Risks

UBS Exchange Traded Funds invest in asset classes such as equities, bonds, commodities, precious metals, hedge funds and real estate and are thus subject to significant fluctuations in value. For this reason, an investment horizon of at least five years, as well as appropriate risk tolerance and capacity, is required. All investments are subject to market fluctuations. Each fund exhibits specific risks, which can increase significantly in unusual market conditions. Hence, the net asset value of the fund's assets is directly dependent on the performance of the underlying index. Losses that could have been prevented using active management are not offset. More information on the risks can be found in the prospectus.
