Risk 5/7

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 5, which means there is a medium-high 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.

An investment in an equity fund is generally characterized by high risk as the value of the equities can fluctuate significantly over time but also has the potential for high returns.

The indicator primarily reflects the upturns and downturns in the value of the fund’s equity investments and fluctuations in exchange rates.

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 a limited number of regions or issuers, the fund normally has a higher risk relative to investments that are allocated with a broader geographical distribution and across a larger number of issuers.

The fund's investment focus means that the fund may have significant exposure to a limited number of equities, which can result in lower liquidity than if the fund had a greater number of holdings. 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 2024

Fund performance was positive and the fund rose just over 2% in SEK during Q3. The strongest contributors to fund returns in the period were Assa Abloy and Essity. Assa Abloy posted strength in the wake of a more positive sentiment related to the construction sector following the rate cuts that were recently announced and Essity contributed positively after the company reported strong results with higher than expected margins. Nibe was also a positive contributor after indications of an end- market that was not as weak. Hexagon, which reported a weaker than expected result due to exposure to the automotive sector, had a negative impact on returns. Autoliv also posted weakness on the back of the same theme and has also had to struggle with its product mix. Novo Nordisk also had a negative impact as the company’s report for Q2 was weaker than expected when the company’s newly launched obesity drug, Wegovy, did not show the rapid growth expected by the market. Supply constraints remain a challenge for Novo Nordisk, although manufacturing capacity is being gradually increased.

During the quarter the fund increased the holdings in Thule, Sampo, Volvo AB and in banks. The fund also sold the holding in Lifco due to a high valuation, together with cyclical exposure. We also decreased the holding in Autoliv as a result of the current uncertainty prevailing within the automotive industry. In the upcoming reporting period we will continue to focus on investee companies that have sustainable business models and competitive offers with sustainable growth even in a weaker economy.
