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 interest-bearing instruments increase or decrease in value. The fund invests in Norwegian interest-bearing securities issued by the Norwegian state, municipalities, insurance companies, banks, financial institutions, credit institutions and covered bonds (equivalent to OMF in Norway).
The fund’s assets may be invested in interest-bearing financial instruments with a minimum rating of BBB- from Standard & Poor's or Nordic Credit Rating or the equivalent of Baa3 from Moody's. In the event the financial instrument lacks an official rating and is not a type of subordinated debt, the issuer’s official rating will be used. In the event the issuer in this case lacks an official rating, the Management Company may make its own assessment of the credit worthiness.
The fund’s modified duration is between the interval of 4 - 6 years.
International norms and guidelines for the environment, social responsibility and corporate governance are taken into consideration within the scope of the fund’s investment focus.
The fund may invest in derivative instruments as part of its investment focus. The fund may invest a maximum of 10% of the fund capital in fund units.
We compare the fund's performance with Solactive NOK Fixed Dur 5Y Gov Bonds & Bills Index. As the fund is actively managed the performance will over time deviate from this index.
The shareclass does not distribute dividends. All income is reinvested in the fund. Normally, you may purchase and sell fund units every banking day.
Refer to the Prospectus for additional information on the designation of the share class within parentheses and management relative to the fund’s benchmark index and risk level.
