Risk 2/7

The risk indicator provides guidance on the risk level for this product relative to other financial products. It shows the likelihood that the product will decrease in value due to market performance. Risk level 1 represents a low risk and risk level 7 is a high risk.

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 2, which means there is a 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 normally consists of holdings with a longer fixed interest duration, which results in a higher 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 include assets with low credit worthiness, so-called high yield.

The fund invests in corporate bonds for which liquidity is frequently lower, and the variation in liquidity is considered to be higher relative to the fixed income market in general. This can impact the fund's ability to manage significant outflows at a relatively low cost.

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

Portfolio manager comments — Q3 2025

During the third quarter, the Swedish and Nordic credit markets demonstrated resilience despite a somewhat weaker economic environment and ongoing geopolitical tensions. Volatility declined from the higher levels seen in the previous quarter and, combined with strong market demand, contributed to tighter credit spreads. This significantly supported the fund’s positive returns.

The Riksbank lowered the repo rate to 1.75% to stimulate the economy, which also supports credit sentiment. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy continued to show strength, although signs of a slowing labor market became increasingly evident during the quarter. The impact of tariffs on inflation remains uncertain.

The new issuance market was robust, particularly in late August and mid-September. Despite high issuance volumes, demand outpaced supply, helping maintain stable spread levels. Nevertheless, we retain a somewhat cautious view on risk sentiment due to relatively low risk premiums, although yields remain attractive. The focus on quality and liquidity continues, with an overweight in the banking and financial sectors as well as selected exposure to issuers within the High Yield (HY) segment. At the same time, we avoid companies and sectors with high refinancing risks.

During the quarter, the fund participated in a considerable number of new issues from companies including DNB, Nordea, Munters Group, Industrivärden, Fabege, Lifco, Getinge, Loomis, Hexagon, and Electrolux. We also increased certain existing positions in the secondary market as new issuance activity slowed.

At the end of the quarter, the fund held a broadly neutral interest rate duration, with a slightly longer spread duration primarily within the higher rating classes.
