About AUUSI

UBS ETF (CH) Gold (USD) A-dis is an exchange-traded fund domiciled in Switzerland and launched on January 6, 2010, by UBS Fund Management (Switzerland) AG. It provides investors with targeted exposure to physical gold, holding standard bars ranging from 1 gram to 12.5 kilograms (approximately 400 ounces) stored in a high-security Swiss vault. The fund's primary objective is to replicate the performance of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Gold Price in USD through full physical replication, ensuring close tracking with a low total expense ratio of 0.23% per annum. As a distributing share class, it pays dividends annually, typically in September, while maintaining a USD base currency without hedging against exchange rate fluctuations. With assets under management exceeding 5.7 billion euros, it stands as a very large ETF in the commodities sector, offering liquidity, transparency, and cost efficiency. This passively managed vehicle plays a key role in financial markets by enabling diversified access to gold as a store of value and inflation hedge, subject to commodity price volatility and concentration risk.
