Objectives and Investment Policy
The fund is actively managed, which means that the portfolio manager takes active, independent investment decisions. The long term objective of the fund is to exceed the returns of the underlying market, defined as the benchmark index. The fund is a fund of funds which invests globally without limitations in terms of geographical or industrial exposure. Fund returns are determined by how the fund's investments in fixed income funds increase or decrease in value.
The fund invests in fixed income funds, that in turn invest in interest-bearing securities in SEK and foreign currencies issued by states, companies and mortgage institutions. The fund may also invest in emerging markets and/or interest-bearing securities in which the issuer may have a credit rating lower than BBB (so-called Investment grade) in accordance with Standard &, Poor’s or Baa3 in accordance with Moody’s. The fund invests primarily in funds within Handelsbanken but may also invest in funds managed by other fund management companies. The current distribution is available in the section Portfolio distribution at www.handelsbanken.se/funds.
International norms and guidelines for the environment, social responsibility and corporate governance are taken into consideration and the fund applies an exclusion strategy for companies (both direct holdings as well as holdings in funds in which the fund invests) operating within the alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, commercial gambling, weapons and war materials, pornography and fossil fuels segments/sectors.
However, the fund may invest in companies that are considered to be in transition towards fossil-free energy production. This is applicable to both direct holdings as well as holdings in funds in which the fund invests. With regard to the fund’s investments in index derivatives, the fund will primarily invest in sustainability oriented instruments. In the absence of such instruments, the fund will invest in index derivatives and index products that may include companies that are not permitted in accordance with the aforementioned exclusion criteria.
The fund can invest in derivative instruments as part of the fund’s investment focus, which can result in leveraging.
