Portfolio 26.04.2024

Fund performance was positive during the quarter and the fund rose 2% in SEK. Market rates rose during the period in the wake of strong economic data that lowered the expectations slightly for the cycle of interest rate cuts by the central banks.

The strongest performance was in emerging market bonds that, in addition to an attractive rate, also benefited from a weaker SEK. Funds with more credit risk also posted strength when the risk tolerance returned to the market. Bond funds with longer average duration were negatively affected by rising market rates. Our assessment is that the central banks have reached the end of their rate hikes and that the phase of rate cuts will begin in the middle of 2024.

Our holdings have a neutral average duration in the fixed income portfolios as we believe that the cycle of rate hikes has reached its peak. The fund also has an overweight in corporate credits. We are retaining a long-term strategic position in emerging market bonds as well as in funds with focus on sustainable bonds and credits.
