Note that a fund with risk level 5-7, as stated in the fund's fact sheet (KID), can vary greatly in value due to the fund's composition and management methodology. The prospectus, fund rules and KID are available under each fund. Summary of investors' rights.

Portfolio manager comments — Q2 2025
Fund performance was positive during the quarter, rising by just over 4% in SEK.

Nordic equity markets performed well overall, although the quarter began on a weak note. Early in the period, concerns about global protectionism—particularly from the US—dominated. However, signals of less extensive tariffs than feared, combined with expectations of interest rate cuts, gradually restored risk appetite.

Currency movements were mixed—both the Swedish and Norwegian krona weakened against the euro, but strengthened against the US dollar.

The top contributors to fund returns were Norbit, DSV, Asker Healthcare, ALK-Abello, Metso, Kone, Nordea, New Wave, Biotage, Asmodee, and Crayon.

The largest negative contributors were Novo Nordisk, Investor, AstraZeneca and Zealand Pharma.

New major holdings include the audio streaming company Spotify, board game manufacturer Asmodee, Danish pharmaceutical company Genmab, and real estate companies Wihlborgs and Balder.

We have seen significant market movements, and this is likely to continue, which is why the fund maintains a relatively broad sector exposure. External risks remain, and we have slightly reduced the fund’s exposure to the US, instead shifting focus toward Nordic and European exposure.
