Portfolio 26.04.2024

Fund performance was slightly positive during Q1 2024. As with the close of 2023, the period posted strength for the majority of the risky assets. The financial markets have been tainted by expectations for a soft landing in the economy and equities have performed strongly. Economic data was unexpectedly on the upside and affected more risky assets such as narrower credit spreads and rising oil prices.

The journey for the fixed income markets was not as positive and returns were held back by persistent inflation and the belief of fewer rate cuts, which resulted in higher interest rates. The demand for corporate bonds has been high with good levels of activity in new issues and oversubscribed books. There were occasionally some concerns during the quarter about commercial real estate and its impact on the balance sheets of US banks, although these concerns have waned for the time being.

The credit spreads for real estate companies in the Nordics remain very narrow and companies such as Castellum, Fabege and Humlegården contributed positively to returns in the fund. In general, the fund’s bonds in SEK outperformed other currencies, although this is largely because the bonds in SEK are from real estate companies.

Several new holdings were added to the fund, including three green bonds from the Norwegian company Tomra, Husqvarna and the British company United Utilities. The latter company operates in the northwest UK and handles both drinking and wastewater management. In general, this part of the UK has more rainfall than other parts of the country and is at greater risk for storm overflows of wastewater during times of significant rainfall. The financing will be used to reduce the risk of contaminated water flowing into nature and and causing pollution.
