Risk 2/7

The risk indicator provides guidance on the risk level for this product relative to other financial products. It shows the likelihood that the product will decrease in value due to market performance. Risk level 1 represents a low risk and risk level 7 is a high risk.

About risk

The risk/return indicator illustrates the link between risk and potential returns from an investment in the fund. The indicator is based on the change in the fund’s value over the past 5 years.

This shareclass belongs to category 2, which means there is a low risk for up- and downturns in the net asset value. Category 1 does not mean that the fund is risk-free. The fund's risk indicator can change both upwards and downwards on the scale over time, as the indicator is based on historical data that does not guarantee future risk/returns.

The risk in a fixed income fund is due in part to the average fixed interest duration on the fund’s holdings, i.e., the fund’s interest rate risk. The fund normally consists of holdings with a longer fixed interest duration, which results in a higher interest rate risk.

The indicator primarily reflects the upturns and downturns in the value of the fund’s holdings in interest-bearing securities.

The indicator reflects the most important risks in the fund but excludes the following material risks:

Given that the fund’s investments are made in one country or a limited number of countries, the fund normally has a higher risk relative to investments that are allocated with a broader geographical distribution across several regions or countries.

The fund has exposure to credit risk, i.e., the risk that an issuer is unable to meet its commitments. The credit risk is derived from the issuer’s credit worthiness. The fund’s investments only include assets with high credit worthiness, so-called investment grade.

The fund invests in corporate bonds for which liquidity is frequently lower, and the variation in liquidity is considered to be higher relative to the fixed income market in general. This can impact the fund's ability to manage significant outflows at a relatively low cost.

This product does not provide any protection from future market performance. You could therefore lose some or all of your investment.

Portfolio manager comments — Q2 2025

Fund performance was positive during the quarter. The second quarter of the year was marked by high volatility and an initial decline in risk appetite following the introduction of US trade tariffs and the escalation of the trade war between the US and China. Credit spreads widened due to the deteriorating trade policy environment, while interest rates fell in Sweden and Europe but rose in the US. The primary market, which had been strong in Q1, came to a halt as risk appetite weakened.

Instead, the fund was active in the secondary market at very attractive levels, increasing exposure primarily to the banking and financial sector among issuers with high credit quality. As the initial rhetoric from the White House softened and real trade negotiations began to take shape, risk appetite returned and credit spreads tightened.

The fund extended its duration during the first quarter, which contributed significantly to the positive return in Q2 as interest rates declined. At the same time, the fund’s investments in the secondary market at elevated credit spreads added value as spreads narrowed.

During the period, the fund increased its holdings in bonds from SBAB, Lyse, Arjo, Intea, Eidsiva Energi, Fastpartner, Sydvatten, Nibe, Latour, Heimstaden Bostad, Klarna Bank, and Tomra. At the end of the quarter, the fund maintained a high interest rate duration, as we see potential for falling market rates. This is in line with expectations that Norges Bank, the Riksbank, and the European Central Bank will need to stimulate the economy to support growth, while inflation has declined sharply and both the Norwegian and Swedish krona have strengthened significantly—both against the dollar and the euro.
