## Summary

BNP Paribas Easy S&P 500 UCITS ETF Act. EUR HDG is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from BNP Paribas, launched in 2015. It tracks the S&P 500 — about 500 of the largest companies listed in the US. You buy and sell it through a share-dealing account or platform during stock-market hours, like a share. Its ongoing charge is 0.14% a year — about £14 a year on every £10,000 invested, taken from the fund's value rather than billed to you. Income from its investments is reinvested inside the fund, so it shows up as a rising price rather than cash paid to you. It is currency-hedged to euros, not to the pound: it aims to remove most of the effect of exchange-rate moves against euros, so a holder who counts in pounds still has currency risk.

Latest close: **€23.92** (13/11/2026).
