UBS Share Builders
Overview
UBS Share Builders are a subset of UBS Investment Builders where cash Dividends received are applied to reduce the Loan Amount and the Loan Amount is periodically increased on a transparent basis to pay any Interest.
As you maintain beneficial ownership of the underlying share you will be entitled to franking credits (if you meet the ATO's eligibility criteria) even though the cash amount of the Dividend is applied to reduce the Loan Amount. Like all UBS Investment Builders the Loan comes with a Walkaway Feature.

UBS AG, Australia Branch is a foreign Authorised Deposit-Taking Institution (foreign ADI) under the Banking Act 1959 (Cth), and is supervised by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority. It is important for you to note that your investment is not a deposit product or other deposit liability and is not covered by the depositor protection provisions in the Banking Act 1959 (Cth).
In any event, provisions in the Banking Act 1959 for the protection of depositors do not apply to foreign ADIs including UBS AG, Australia Branch. For example, depositors with foreign ADIs do not receive the benefit of the following protections:
- Deposits are not covered by the financial claims scheme and are not guaranteed by the Australian Government.
- Deposits do not receive priority ahead of amounts owed to other creditors. This means that if a foreign ADI was unable to meet its obligations or suspends payment, its depositors in Australia would not receive priority for repayment of their deposits from the foreign ADI's assets in Australia.
- A foreign ADI is not required to hold assets in Australia to cover its deposit liabilities in Australia. This means that if the foreign ADI was unable to meet its obligations or suspends payment it is uncertain whether depositors would be able to access the full amount of their deposit.
