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.

Risk 3/7

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 3, which means there is a medium-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 and currency fluctuations.

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 a limited number of regions or issuers, the fund normally has a higher risk relative to investments that are allocated with a broader geographical distribution and across a larger number of issuers.

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.

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

The second quarter of 2025 began with increased tensions in financial markets. The US introduction of broad import tariffs—referred to as “Liberation Day” on April 2—triggered sharp global market reactions, including falling government bond yields, widening credit spreads, and broad equity market declines. Geopolitical tensions also intensified, primarily due to the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran.

The sharp rise in European interest rates in March, following Germany’s stimulus package, was largely reversed, and yields were generally lower at the end of the quarter than at the beginning.

The European Central Bank cut rates twice during the quarter, from 2,50% to 2,00%, in line with expectations. However, the tone at the most recent policy meeting was slightly more hawkish, and the market now expects only one additional cut.

The fund has maintained a neutral duration position since April, following the significant drop in yields. Global debt levels, Germany’s stimulus package, and the US budget proposal have shifted market focus to the yield curve, with longer maturities now requiring higher compensation. As a result, yield curves have steepened more than expected, which benefited the fund’s large position for steeper curves.

However, the underweight in Italian 10-year bonds detracted from performance, as market sentiment proved stronger than expected despite global concerns about tariffs and growth. The overweight in French bonds also had a negative impact due to continued political uncertainty, while the overweight in Spanish bonds contributed positively to returns.
