Note that a fund with risk level 5-7, as stated in the fund's fact sheet (KID), can vary greatly in value due to the fund's composition and management methodology. The prospectus, fund rules and KID are available under each fund. Summary of investors' rights.

Portfolio manager comments — Q2 2024
Fund performance was positive during Q2 and the fund rose almost 7% in SEK. The strongest contributors to fund returns included the Taiwanese semiconductor company TSMC, the Chinese internet company Tencent, the Indian bank HDFC Bank and the Chinese internet company PDD, which continued to dominate the low-price segment during the period.
The semiconductor sector had a downturn in 2023 but has rebounded sharply in 2024. One of the primary drivers behind this positive outlook is the major investments being made, particularly within artificial intelligence (AI). Tencent has delivered strong profit growth in recent quarters due to a higher market share in the Chinese advertising market and good cost management.
The Chinese electric car company Li Auto, the Indonesian Bank Rakyat and Airports of Thailand had the most negative impact on returns. The Chinese electric car market has had major competition for some time and the market has been concerned about increased competition, weak volumes and delays to product launches. Bank Rakyat has a history of operating the micro loan business profitably but reported higher than expected credit costs and is currently in a phase in which the quality of micro assets has declined.
The fund continues to focus on strong companies within technology and digitalization. We remain positive to these areas over the long term since these areas create higher productivity in society and benefit from profits due to the increased purchasing power of the middle class. However, we continued to decrease our holdings in Chinese e-commerce due to intensifying competition.
