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 1, which means there is a very low 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.

The risk in a fixed income fund is due in part to the average fixed interest duration on the fund’s holdings, i.e., the fund’s interest rate risk. The fund consists only of holdings with a shorter fixed interest duration which results in a lower interest rate risk.

The indicator primarily reflects the upturns and downturns in the value of the fund’s holdings in interest-bearing securities.

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 has exposure to credit risk, i.e., the risk that an issuer is unable to meet its commitments. The credit risk is derived from the issuer’s credit worthiness. The fund’s investments only include assets with high credit worthiness, so-called investment grade.

This product does not provide any protection from future market performance. You could therefore lose some or all of your investment.

Additional information about the risks may be found in the prospectus available at www.handelsbanken.se/funds.

Portfolio manager comments — Q2 2024

Fund performance was positive in Q2 and the fund rose just over 1% in SEK.

The first half of Q2 was marked by further strong economic data in the US as well as an improvement to incoming data in Europe. Despite this, the core inflation remained more sluggish than expected in relation to the inflation targets. This led to an initial rise in interest rates during the quarter.

In contrast, the short-term interest rates fell in Sweden and the Riksbank made its first cut in rates during the quarter, while also signaling that several additional cuts can be expected during the year.

The fund took a position for declining short-term rates via interest rate swaps that were then closed with positive contributions. The credit market in the Nordics continued its positive trend with narrower credit spreads that contributed positively to returns. The issuing activity was strong and the fund participated in several of companies that issued bonds, such as Sparbanken Syd, Vonovia and Volvo. The fund was also active in adding new issuers of certificates at attractive levels that included Alfa Laval and Heba Fastighets AB. The real estate companies with BBB ratings continued to be the strongest segment contributing positively to the portfolio’s returns. The fund continues to have good liquidity and high-quality credit.
