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.

Portfolio 26.04.2024

Fund performance was positive during Q1 2024 and the fund rose almost 5% in SEK. After the strong close to the stock market in 2023, Swedish small cap equities began the year more tentatively, driven primarily by the upward trend in long-term rates after the sharp downturn in the autumn. The stock market gained new momentum in time for the release of the quarterly reports at the end of January and rose essentially throughout the remainder of the period, even though profits were more or less in line with expectations. The major drivers are the expectation of rate cuts due to declining inflation, together with continued strength in economic growth in the US.

Yubico, Tobii Dynavox and Addnode were the primary positive contributors to relative returns during the quarter, while Sinch, Bioarctic and Bico had the most negative impact.

The valuation multipliers in Swedish equities are currently at levels that can be considered to be normal and the boost in prices going forward should come from higher profits. We therefore expect the market to move sideways before investors begin to look toward 2025 and encumber higher profits next year. But there are companies even in this scenario that provide the potential for strong performance in the near term.
