Portfolio manager comments — Q4 2025
The fund performed strongly during the period, rising by 6.7% in SEK, in line with the benchmark index*, which benefited from interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve and continued stable corporate earnings reports.

The holdings that contributed most positively to fund performance were Nokia, Netcompany, and AstraZeneca. Nokia benefited from a strong quarterly report and the announced partnership with Nvidia regarding chips for the company’s software for 5G and 6G networks. Netcompany delivered a solid quarterly report and presented interesting product launches aimed at defense and geopolitical security. AstraZeneca also reported a strong quarterly result and announced an agreement with the US regarding future drug pricing, which is expected to have a less negative impact than previously feared. Volvo also contributed positively during the quarter.

The holding that weighed most heavily on performance was Novo Nordisk. Novo Nordisk continued to be affected by concerns over increased competition and regulated drug pricing. New leadership has increased commercial activity within direct‑to‑consumer channels, and the company has also entered into an agreement in the US regarding future drug prices within insurance systems, which is considered positive for volumes over the longer term.

During the quarter, Valmet was added as a new holding. The company operates within energy transition, automation, and efficiency solutions, serving customers in the process industry and energy sector. Aftermarket activities, including automation and flow control, account for a significant portion of revenues and contribute to stability in the business model.

Holdings in Novo Nordisk, Novonesis, and Atlas Copco were increased, while exposure to Essity was reduced, as was exposure to Assa Abloy, AstraZeneca, and Sandvik following strong share price performance. The holding in Sampo was fully divested, as the valuation was considered less attractive after a sharp price increase.

We continue to focus on ensuring that the fund’s companies have sustainable business models and competitive offerings with durable, profitable growth.
