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 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 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 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.

Portfolio manager comments — Q2 2024

Fund performance was negative in Q2 due to a weaker EUR during the period. Focus has been on the global inflation rate and the measures taken by the central banks. The US inflation has been more persistent than expected and has led the market to adjust its expectations for rate cuts from the US central bank, the Fed. Instead of the cuts that were expected at the beginning of the year, the market is now questioning whether there will be any cuts during the year.

This has led to a rise in interest rates and slightly weaker stock markets, while geopolitical risks are expected to remain significant going forward. Despite these challenges, the risk sentiment in the credit market has been positive and issuing activity has been high.

The fund has held a slightly longer duration and has also been positioned for steeper yield curves, which have recently performed well. The strongest contributor to fund performance is the exposure to the Finnish bank Aktia, with other Nordic banks also posting strong performance. In addition, the fund’s exposure to Nordic issuers that are issuing certificates also contributed positively.

The weakest performance was seen in the duration positioning, although we are retaining our view that it remains beneficial to continue to be slightly long in duration when considering the macroeconomic factors and communication from the central banks.
