Risks
UBS Equity Long-Short Funds deliver a long and short exposure to equities in order to reduce the volatility of the portfolio compared to a common long only equity fund. Despite the expected reduction in volatility, the funds can still be subject to high fluctuations in value. For this reason, an investment horizon of at least five years and corresponding risk tolerance and risk capacity are required. The fund may enter into OTC derivative contracts to generate the equity exposure. These contracts are collateralised, however the risk of a counterparty default remains. UBS Equity Long-Short Funds pursue an active management style and may deliver significant negative performance over certain periods. The fund can perform negatively while underlying equity markets perform positively and vice versa. Each fund has specific risks, which can significantly increase under unusual market conditions. As the fund uses derivatives & sophisticated leverage techniques, investors must be willing to bear the additional risk involved.
