Handelsbanken Räntestrategi (B10 SEK)

The fund is an actively managed fixed income fund. The fund is a non-UCITS fund and differentiates itself from a securities fund by having significant holdings in government securities issued by individual states.

Fund returns are determined by how the fund's investments in interest-bearing instruments increase or decrease in value. The fund’s objective is to attain high risk-adjusted returns through active positions in the global fixed income markets. In addition, the objective is to generate positive returns regardless of whether market rates rise or fall.

The fund invests in interest-bearing and interest-related financial instruments in various currencies issued by states, municipalities and companies. These investments shall have a minimum credit rating of BBB- from Standard & Poor’s or Nordic Credit Rating, or Baa3 from Moody's, an equivalent alternative of the two, as well as in instruments in which the Management Company has determined the credit worthiness and bear a rating that is equivalent to the aforementioned ratings in the absence of an official credit rating. The fund may invest in interest rate derivatives, such as forward contracts, repurchase agreements and swap contracts. The average remaining fixed interest period may be negative in an effort to create positive fund returns.

International norms and guidelines with regard to the environment, social responsibility and corporate governance are taken into consideration within the scope of the fund’s investment focus. The fund applies an exclusion strategy in companies active within the fossil fuels, war materials, tobacco, cannabis, alcohol, commercial gambling and pornography areas/sectors. The fund may invest in sustainable, social and green bonds issued by companies involved in power generation from fossil fuels.

The fund may invest in derivative instruments as part of its investment focus. The fund may invest a maximum of 10% of the fund capital in fund units.

We compare the fund's performance with SHB Government Rate Index 3M SEK. As the fund is actively managed the performance will over time deviate from this index.
