London, 19 November 2025 – UBS Asset Management announces the launch of two ETFs designed to provide easy access to the Indian equity market. This dual passive offering enables investors to align their allocation according to their investment objectives and ESG preferences.
The UBS MSCI India SF UCITS ETF offers broad exposure to large and mid-cap Indian companies by tracking the MSCI India Index. With 160 constituents, the index represents approximately 85% of the Indian equity universe. While its value may fluctuate depending on the underlying index, the fund is swap-based which can be beneficial as synthetic ETFs are not currently subject to Indian capital gains tax.1
The UBS MSCI India Universal UCITS ETF tracks the MSCI India Universal Low Carbon Select 5% Issuer Capped Index,2 which increases exposure to companies with robust and improving ESG profiles, while systematically excluding those that do not meet established ESG and climate-related criteria. It uses physical replication, directly holding Indian equities, to ensure transparency and consistency between the fund’s ESG profile and its benchmark. This fund, which is aligned to Article 8 under SFDR, is the latest addition to our existing suite of ESG Universal ETFs, which includes ACWI, Australia, Canada, China, EMU, Japan, and USA.
