Objectives and Investment Policy
The fund is an index fund and its objective is to track the performance of the SIX Sweden SRI Index GI as closely as possible. The fund is passively managed.
Fund returns are determined by how the fund's investments in equities increase or decrease in value. The index will be replicated through optimized physical replication, which means that the fund invests directly in a larger selection of the equities included in the index. Tracking error is expected to be less than 0.2% under normal market conditions. The management fee, as well as customer flows, index rebalancing and corporate events result in transaction costs for the fund, which are not present in the index. These are the main factors that impact the fund’s ability to replicate the index. The index consists of all of the companies included in the stock exchange in Stockholm, excluding those companies that do not meet the sustainability requirements.
The fund follows an index that includes sustainability requirements. Companies that do not meet the defined requirements for sustainability are excluded from the index. The sustainability requirements include international standards and guidelines for the environment, social responsibility and corporate governance. The requirements also include the fund’s exclusion of companies involved in the production or distribution of fossil fuels, military equipment, tobacco, alcohol, gambling, cannabis and pornography.
The fund can invest in derivative instruments as part of the fund’s investment focus. However, the use of derivative instruments is of such a nature that it only has a marginal impact on the fund’s risk level.
The share class normally distributes dividends in March each year. The objective is to annually distribute 4,0% of the value of the units at the time of the Management Company’s decision about distributions. However, distributions can be both higher and lower. Normally, you may purchase and sell fund units every banking day.
Additional information about the sustainability work, the share class designation in parentheses and the management in relation to the funds benchmark index, may be found in the prospectus.
Recommendation: This fund may not be suitable for investors who plan to withdraw their money within 5 years.
