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.
Fund returns are determined by how the fund's investments in equities increase or decrease in value. The fund invests primarily in equities issued by small and mid-sized companies in Finland or that have a minimum of 50% of their business operations or market in Finland. As a result, the fund has a currency exposure to these markets.
We place particular emphasis on ensuring that the company's strategy concurs with our assessment of what can generate favourable share price performance when we select equities for the fund. We then evaluate the company's key ratios, such as earnings growth relative to the market's expectations.
International norms and guidelines for 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 for companies operating within the fossil fuels, military equipment, tobacco, cannabis, alcohol, commercial gambling and pornography segments/sectors. However, the fund may invest in companies or funds that invest in companies involved in power generation, distribution or services related to fossil fuels in those cases where the company is deemed to be transitioning its operations to more renewable energy.
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 SIX SRI Finland Small Cap Index NI. As the fund is actively managed the performance will over time deviate from this index.
The shareclass does not distribute dividends. All income is reinvested in the fund. Normally, you may purchase and sell fund units every banking day.
Additional information about the sustainability work, the share class designation in parentheses and the management in relation to the funds benchmark index and risk level, may be found in the prospectus.
Recommendation: This fund may not be suitable for investors who plan to withdraw their money within 5 years.
