Risk 4/7

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 4, which means there is a medium 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.

An investment in an equity fund is generally characterized by high risk as the value of the equities can fluctuate significantly over time but also has the potential for high returns.

The indicator primarily reflects the upturns and downturns in the value of the fund’s equity investments and fluctuations in exchange rates.

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's investment focus means that the fund has exposure to a smaller market for which liquidity is lower, and the variations in the liquidity of the equities are considered to be higher relative to larger markets. 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 second quarter, rising by just over 9% in SEK.

The quarter began on a weak note following Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” on April 2, when a series of new tariffs were announced. This created concern about global trade and increased the risk of an economic slowdown. However, by mid-year, much of this had been reversed, and the fund performed well.

For the first time in many years, the fund is slightly behind its benchmark index year-to-date after fees. This is primarily due to an underweight in four large defensive stocks—Orkla, Telenor, Gjensidige and DNB—which together returned around 30% during the period, compared to approximately 10% for the rest of the index. The strong performance of these companies can be attributed to their relatively stable business models in a market marked by high volatility, geopolitical uncertainty, tariff threats, and sharp downward revisions in earnings expectations for cyclical sectors.

It is a common strategy in the fund to reduce defensive holdings to free up capital for other investments, as these equities typically have low or negative correlation with the rest of the portfolio. This usually contributes to outperformance, but what is unusual this year is that these defensive stocks have performed very strongly—and simultaneously—at a much higher rate than the market overall.

Aside from these four equities, the fund has performed strongly, both in absolute and relative terms. All other sectors posted positive returns, and several holdings made significant contributions. Notable among them were Norwegian, Crayon/SoftwareOne and Link Mobility. The fund also participated in the IPO of Sentia, which has since risen by over 25%, contributing positively to results.

The fund’s overall positioning remained largely unchanged during the period, although some profit-taking occurred in strong performers toward the end. With liquid positions, we have maintained the fund’s beta and thus the flexibility to quickly adjust exposure as market conditions change. The fund’s strategy remains intact.
