The UIT, part of the UBS Equity Opportunity Trust, has a lifespan of approximately 15 months and is the result of UBS&#8217;s partnership with KLD Research &amp; Analytics, Inc., the foremost authority on social research and indexes for institutional investors, and Mergent, Inc., a leading provider of business and financial data on global publicly listed companies. &#8220;Each stock chosen for the portfolio has at least 10 consecutive years of dividend growth and has been screened for its social, environmental and governance record,&#8221; said Richard A. Stewart, CFA, Director and UIT Product Manager, UBS Wealth Management US. &#8220;By selecting only stocks common to both Mergent&#8217;s Dividend Achievers Index and KLD&#8217;s Domini 400 Social Index, the portfolio invests in companies that are deemed to be socially responsible as well as focused on providing shareholder value.&#8221; Image source: dividendachievers.com<span class=\"LinkBluePgtMedium\">News selected by Covalence <span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\">| Country: <\/span><\/span><span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\">Global<\/span><span class=\"LinkBluePgtMedium\"><span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\"><\/span><span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\"><\/span><span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\"> | Company: <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalquote.com\/newTemplate\/index.php\/ethicalquote\/?value=7\"><span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\"><span class=\"LinkBluePgtMedium\">UBS<\/span><\/span><\/a><span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\"> <\/span><span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\">| <\/span>Source: <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/businesswire\/feeds\/businesswire\/2007\/03\/27\/businesswire20070327006303r1.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"LinkBluePgtMedium\">Forbes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UBS AG today announced that it has launched the KLD Dividend Achievers Social Investing Series 2007A, a unique unit investment trust (&#8220;UIT&#8221;) designed to meet the needs of UBS Wealth Management US clients who are seeking socially responsible investments with a track record of increasing dividends.
