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 rose just over 15% in SEK, with further positive trends in the equity market. The upturns were primarily driven by a continuation of strong US economic activity and domestic industry, as well as strong returns for many technology companies, in particular those with exposure to generative AI. Consumer companies also continued to post strength. At the same time, the equity market is taking advantage of signals from the US central bank of pending cuts to key rates and that inflation is under control.

Fund returns benefited from the strong performance for many industrial companies, such as Core & Main, Kadant and Carlisle. A number of companies within the technology sector also contributed to returns, such as Cyberark and Napco Security. One of the fund’s smallest companies, Repositrak, rose sharply driven by a strong momentum in orders. The fund was negatively affected by the holdings in ATS Corp, Planet Fitness and Darling Ingredients. All of the holdings in the last two companies were sold during the quarter.

A number of new companies were added during the quarter and included Alarm.com, Alamo Group and Q2 Holdings, while we sold the holdings in Etsy, AMN Healthcare and Tripadvisor. The fund continues to hold high-quality companies with exposure to structurally strong themes such as re-shoring, automation and digitalization..
