Objectives and Investment Policy
The fund is actively managed, which means that the portfolio manager takes active, independent investment decisions. The long term objective of the fund is to exceed the returns of the underlying market, defined as the benchmark index.
Fund returns are determined by how the fund's investments in equity-, fixed income- and alternative funds increase or decrease in value. Fund investments are made in a number of funds, including equity, fixed income and alternative funds, as well as in other financial instruments. The fund invests primarily in funds within Handelsbanken as well as in fund that are managed by other fund management companies. The basis for investments is to create excess returns in euro over the long term.
The fund's value shall be invested in 5-45% equity funds or other equity-related financial instruments, 45-85% in fixed income funds or other fixed income related financial instruments and 0-20% in funds and other financial instruments with alternative exposure. Alternative exposure refers to exposure through funds or other permitted asset classes that directly or indirectly permit elements of commodities, real estate and other than equities or interest rates for the permitted exposure of a securities fund, with the intent of having diversified characteristics in the fund.
International norms and guidelines for the environment, social responsibility and corporate governance are taken into consideration and the fund applies an exclusion strategy for companies (both direct holdings as well as holdings in funds in which the fund invests) operating within the alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, commercial gambling, weapons and military equipment, pornography and fossil fuels segments/sectors. However, the fund may invest in companies that are considered to be in transition towards fossil-free energy production. This is applicable to both direct holdings as well as holdings in funds in which the fund invests. With regard to the fund’s investments in index derivatives, the fund will primarily invest in sustainability-oriented instruments. In the absence of such instruments, the fund will invest in index derivatives and index products that may include companies that are not permitted in accordance with the aforementioned exclusion criteria.
The fund can invest in derivative instruments as part of the fund’s investment focus, which can result in leveraging.
We compare the fund's performance with SIX SRI Nordic 200 Net Index (9,375%), Solactive ISS ESG Screened Paris Aligned Global Markets Index NTR (12,5%), Solactive European 3M Interbank Money Market Index (35%), Solactive Eurozone Government Bond Index TR (40%), Solactive ISS ESG Screened Paris Aligned Nordic Index NTR (3,125%).
