What are the differences between an actively and a passively managed fund?

Actively managed funds Actively managed funds try to outperform a given benchmark index by intentionally deviating from the reference index when selecting securities based on the fund manager’s analyses and opinions. Appropriate adjustments are also made depending on an assessment of the market. The analysis around “active intervention” is associated with costs. This is why these funds usually have higher fees. Yet they present higher potential returns compared to passively managed funds. Passively managed funds Passively managed funds are always based on an index. This means that investment decisions are not based on analyses and opinions. Rather, the performance of the fund emulates a predefined benchmark. Passively managed funds thus entail lower costs than actively managed funds. However, they also do not offer additional, higher potential returns.

What makes up the price of the new investment solution UBS Vitainvest Passive SI by UBS key4?

The annual costs consist of the ongoing costs of the fund (0.25% p.a.) and a management fee of 0.5% p.a. charged directly to the retirement savings account. Thus, total costs amount to 0.75% p.a.
