About risk

Historical yields are not a guarantee of future returns. A fund can both increase and decrease in value and it is not guaranteed that you will recover the entire invested amount. 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.

The fund is actively managed and invests in equities mainly issued by small and mid-sized companies in Finland or that have a minimum of 50% of their business operations or market in Finland. As a result, the fund has a currency exposure to these markets. We place particular emphasis on ensuring that the company's strategy concurs with our assessment of what can generate favourable share price performance in equities as well as that the valuations are attractive when we select equities for the fund.

For this fund, the fund company's Enhanced exclusion level applies. For information about sectors that the fund excludes, see the Detailed information tab.

The fund is reported as an Article 8 fund pursuant to EU regulation 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (SFDR).

Risk 4/7

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 4, which means there is a medium 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.

An investment in an equity fund is generally characterized by high risk as the value of the equities can fluctuate significantly over time but also has the potential for high returns.

The indicator primarily reflects the upturns and downturns in the value of the fund’s equity investments and fluctuations in exchange rates.

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 one country or a limited number of countries, the fund normally has a higher risk relative to investments that are allocated with a broader geographical distribution across several regions or countries.

The fund's investment focus entails exposure to smaller companies that frequently have lower liquidity. In general, the variation in liquidity is considered to be higher relative to the equity market overall. This can impact the fund's ability to manage significant outflows at a relatively low cost.

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

Fund performance was positive during the second quarter, rising by nearly 12% in SEK.

President Trump’s “Liberation Day” on April 2 surprised the market both in scope and scale, leading to global market declines, countermeasures, and an escalation of trade tensions. After the initial shock, the administration’s stance gradually softened. Trump backed down and introduced a 90-day negotiation pause for certain tariffs, set to expire in July.

The geopolitical environment also remained turbulent, with escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. Uncertainty remains high, and global growth expectations have been revised downward. Business and consumer confidence remain cautious. The European Central Bank (ECB) cut interest rates twice following weakening inflation, while the US Federal Reserve kept rates unchanged due to uncertainty around future price developments. Despite this, both the US and European economies have proven unexpectedly resilient.

The fund benefited most from the industrials, services, and information technology sectors. Three profit warnings were issued by portfolio companies—one positive (GRK) and two negative (QT and Detection Technology).

New investments were made in Fodelia, GRK, Kreate and Mandatum, while holdings in Bittium, Gofore, Orthex, Outokumpu, Tokmanni and WithSecure were sold. The strongest contributors to fund returns were Kojamo, Metso and Orion, while Detection Technology, QT and Lindex had the most negative impact.

The biggest external concerns have eased, although political uncertainty remains high. Finnish consumers have strengthened as interest rates have fallen, inflation is moderate, and real wages are rising. This is reflected in increased sales of second-hand homes and more building permits for new projects. If unemployment remains under control, the second half of the year could be a period of growth.
