About risk

Historical yields are not a guarantee of future returns. A fund can both increase and decrease in value and it is not guaranteed that you will recover the entire invested amount. 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.

Sustainability-
rating

The sustainability rating is developed by the fund information company Morningstar. The rating measures how well the fund's investee companies manage sustainability risks relative to other funds within the same global Morningstar category. If the fund has invested in government bonds issued by sovereign states, the respective country's sustainability risk is included in the calculation. The analyzed funds can receive a sustainability rating between 1 and 5 globes, with 5 as the highest rating.

The fund complies with the UN Principles for Responsible Investments.

 
The EU’s SFDR regulation (regulation 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector) was implemented in 2021 and provides for a standardization in the sustainability reporting for mutual funds. This has reduced the need for other sustainability labels. Accordingly, Handelsbanken Fonder has chosen to remove the fund’s Nordic Swan ecolabel license from December 17.

Portfolio manager comments — Q4 2025
The fund delivered positive performance, both in absolute terms and relative to its benchmark index*. The most important driver of performance was strong sentiment around AI‑driven investments, which during the period particularly benefited the memory market.

The largest positive contributor was the Korean memory manufacturer SK Hynix, which benefited from accelerating demand for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). The market assesses that demand for advanced memory products will persist into next year. The rapidly increasing use of HBM in AI servers has absorbed production capacity, tightening supply of standard memory and leading to a clear improvement in pricing across both DRAM and NAND segments. Samsung Electronics also contributed positively on the same theme.

After Argentina held mid‑term elections during the previous quarter, Chile elected a president and congress during the final quarter of the year. José Antonio Kast, a right‑leaning candidate, was elected president. The outcome was expected, but the Chilean equity market has continued to perform well even after the election, which has been positive for the fund’s Chilean investments.

Hong Kong Stock Exchange, on the other hand, had a negative impact on performance, as it gave back part of the gains from earlier in the year.

During the period, a new position was initiated in the Chinese apparel and textile manufacturer Shenzhou International. The company shows stable demand, and capacity expansion in Vietnam and Cambodia strengthens its long‑term competitiveness.
