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 concentrated to one region, the fund normally has a higher risk relative to investments that are allocated with a larger geographical distribution and across several regions or countries.

The fund's investment focus entails exposure to markets that frequently have lower liquidity, and the variation in liquidity is considered to be higher relative to more developed markets. This can impact the fund's ability to manage significant outflows at a relatively low cost.

Risks that have not been captured by the risk indicator include: Operational risk - the risk for loss due to unforeseen policy decisions or weaknesses in a country’s securities regulations. This product does not provide any protection from future market performance. You could therefore lose some or all of your investment.

Additional information about the risks may be found in the prospectus available at www.handelsbanken.se/funds.

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.

About Sustainabilty 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 — Q2 2025

Fund performance was positive during the quarter, rising by nearly 6% in SEK.

The largest contribution came from the Taiwanese semiconductor company TSMC, which continues to benefit from the AI boom, with strong demand for advanced chips for AI data centers. South Korea’s SK Hynix also contributed positively, as demand for memory for AI servers—both DDR5 and HBM—has increased, leading the market to take a more optimistic view of its future growth.

The Chinese gaming company Netease also performed well, driven by continued optimism around new releases. The Hong Kong Exchange benefited from a strong IPO market in the region, with capital inflows reaching near-record levels and a significant increase in listings during the first half of 2025.

Meanwhile, Chinese tech giants such as Alibaba, JD.com and Tencent underperformed. Alibaba had the most negative impact during the quarter, affected by subdued consumption in China and intense competition in e-commerce. JD.com faced market concerns about its new initiatives, such as food delivery, despite its core business remaining relatively strong.

The fund made several portfolio changes during the period. The holding in India’s Hero Motocorp was divested, along with some companies from the merger with the Brazil Theme in Q1. New investments were made in South Korea’s KB Financials, China’s Tencent Music, and Chinese pharmaceutical companies Sichuan Kelun-Biotech and Wuxi XDC.
