Portfolio manager comments — Q1 2025
Donald Trump’s trade policy continues to dominate the mood of the market with statements about increased tariffs. Long-term rates in Sweden and Europe have risen approximately 0.30 percent since year-end, while US long-term rates have declined.

Developments across the central banks have been mixed. The US central bank (FED) left the key rates unchanged during the quarter, while the European Central Bank (ECB) cut rates twice – in January and March. The Riksbank has cut rates once thus far in 2025. Our assessment is that the FED and the ECB will continue to cut rates during the year, while we expect the Riksbank to leave key rates unchanged.

We believe that long-term rates are being driven upward by higher inflationary and growth expectations, which contribute to a steeper yield curve where short-term rates are traded at lower rates than long-term rates.

The rising interest rates contributed to a weak start to the year for the fund. Even our holdings in emerging market bonds weighed on returns, primarily due to negative foreign exchange effects. At the same time, the positions in corporate bonds and impact funds posted strength and gave support to returns.

The portfolio has a neutral duration in the holdings and continues to have an overweight in corporate credits and emerging market bonds where we continue to see attractive ongoing returns.
