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.

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 and rose by just over 8% in SEK.

The quarter began on a weak and volatile note in the equity markets following the US announcement of tariffs on imports from nearly all countries. However, a strong recovery followed, primarily driven by technology equities such as semiconductors, software and IT services. The industrial sector also contributed positively, particularly through companies involved in electrification and data center/AI infrastructure. The absence of recession signals in the US and growing optimism about European economies also supported the market.

The fund’s performance was supported by several companies with exposure to technology, electrification and AI infrastructure, including SK Hynix, TSMC, Quanta Services, Nextracker, Prysmian and Itron. Netflix, which was added last quarter, was also a strong positive contributor.

On the negative side, the healthcare sector lagged behind the broader market—AstraZeneca being one example.

Early in the quarter, the fund increased its semiconductor exposure by reintroducing SK Hynix and increasing its holdings in TSMC, Broadcom and Nvidia.

The fund made four new investments: Bharti Airtel (Indian telecom operator), Sanrio (Japanese creator of characters like Hello Kitty), Uber (IT platform for transport/taxi), and Royal Caribbean Cruises (US cruise operator).

Holdings in Unicharm, Hyatt, Keyence and Abbott were sold during the quarter.

The Swedish krona continued to strengthen against other currencies, which negatively affected absolute returns.
