UK Fraud Alert

Please be aware that the integration of Credit Suisse and UBS creates a unique opportunity for fraudsters to contact our clients purporting to be from our organisation or selling fake investment schemes from our entities. This could be a means to get information from our clients or to trick clients into sending money to a new account. Please be vigilant if you are contacted by an unknown party. UBS and Credit Suisse entities will never contact you by email or telephone with new bank account details.

Additionally, fraudsters are contacting members of the public using UBS or other bank’s branding regarding fake investment schemes, including fake ISAs. Please be vigilant if you are contacted by an unknown party with investment opportunities.

Protect yourself against becoming a victim of fraud

Before transferring money or sharing personal details, please contact UBS (or relevant bank) by telephone. If you are already a client, please contact your UBS or Credit Suisse advisor or contact UBS on +44 20 7567 8000.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has a range of hints and advice to avoid becoming a victim of fraud. This includes only dealing with financial firms that are authorised by the FCA. You can check the Financial Services Register to ensure they are, and when conducting your due diligence before an investment, consult the FCA clone and unauthorised firms alerts page.

Advice on staying safe online can be found at www.ubs.com/cybersafe

What to do if you have become a victim of fraud

Transition

UBS Global Emerging Markets Equity Climate Transition Fund

Supporting the transition to a low carbon economy, while also considering social aspects in emerging markets

The transition to a more sustainable, low carbon global economy is likely to have real-world effects on emerging market countries. Investors that have EM exposure are increasingly looking to mitigate investment risks related to climate change and the transition, while seeking solutions that align to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

0 °C
Global temperature is already above pre-industrial levels and is likely to surpass the critical 1.5 °C tipping point by 2035.

0 %
Dependence on natural resources has increased by 65% from 2010 to 2019 as a result of unsustainable consumption and production patterns.

0 trillion USD
Annual clean energy investment in emerging markets must increase to over USD 1 trillion by 2030 to meet net-zero emissions targets by 2050.

Evolving our approach to meet client needs
"Clients and members expect us to support the low-carbon economy and in an innovative, cost-efficient way. But that’s something we couldn’t previously do with our Emerging Markets exposure. Now, UBS Asset Management’s strong sustainable investing and indexing capabilities have enabled us to create another innovative product which we hope will help meet our members’ needs.”

Joanna Sharples, CIO, Aon DC Solutions
Facilitating the transition to a low carbon economy
“We are proud to once again collaborate with Aon to provide pension plans with the ability to mitigate climate-related investment risks in emerging markets, while also considering social aspects. The transition to a low-carbon economy is vital to reduce the risk of climate change, and this Fund brings together our proprietary Climate Aware framework and global stewardship program to collaborate with companies to work towards a lower carbon future, linking climate action with inclusive growth.”

What differentiates our strategy

Annual decarbonization is built into the objectives to ensure that it decarbonizes in line with the IPCC's 1.5^°C scenarios – and targets net zero carbon exposure by 2050.

The strategy uses a rules-based ‘climate aware’ investment approach to mitigate social and environmental effects with five UN Sustainable Development Goals.
