Risk 1/7

The risk indicator provides guidance on the risk level for this product relative to other financial products. It shows the likelihood that the product will decrease in value due to market performance. Risk level 1 represents a low risk and risk level 7 is a high risk.

About risk

The risk/return indicator illustrates the link between risk and potential returns from an investment in the fund. The indicator is based on the change in the fund’s value over the past 5 years. Given that the fund does not have five years of historical performance, the risk indicator has been estimated based on the fund’s benchmark index (see above under the heading, Objectives and Investment Focus).

This shareclass belongs to category 1, which means there is a very low risk for up- and downturns in the net asset value. Category 1 does not mean that the fund is risk-free. The fund's risk indicator can change both upwards and downwards on the scale over time, as the indicator is based on historical data that does not guarantee future risk/returns.

The risk in a fixed income fund is due in part to the average fixed interest duration on the fund’s holdings, i.e., the fund’s interest rate risk. The fund consists only of holdings with a shorter fixed interest duration which results in a lower interest rate risk.

The indicator primarily reflects the upturns and downturns in the value of the fund’s holdings in interest-bearing securities.

The indicator reflects the most important risks in the fund but excludes the following material risks:

Given that the fund’s investments are made in one country or a limited number of countries, the fund normally has a higher risk relative to investments that are allocated with a broader geographical distribution across several regions or countries.

The fund has exposure to credit risk, i.e., the risk that an issuer is unable to meet its commitments. The credit risk is derived from the issuer’s credit worthiness. The fund’s investments only include assets with high credit worthiness, so-called investment grade.

This product does not provide any protection from future market performance. You could therefore lose some or all of your investment.

Additional information about the risks may be found in the prospectus available at www.handelsbanken.se/funds.

Portfolio manager comments — Q3 2024

Fund performance was positive in Q3 and the fund rose 1% in SEK. The Swedish credit market continued to show further stability during the period and delivered strong returns. The positive performance was driven primarily by declining interest rates and narrower credit spreads, which contributed strongly to fund returns. Measures by the central banks, which included a rate cut of 50 bps by the US central bank (Fed), created more favorable credit terms and stimulated the market further.

Activity within the real estate and construction sectors was particularly strong, with several over-subscribed issues, which reflects a high demand from investors. The Riksbank’s decision to cut the rate increased the demand on credits and promoted investments, which resulted in higher issuance volumes. The unexpectedly low inflation played a key role in the central banks’ decision to step up the rate cuts, which provided further momentum in the market and increased the optimism for future economic growth.

The most prominent issues in which the fund participated included companies such as Ziklo, Securitas and Fabege. The fund is retaining a strong liquidity position and a portfolio with high-quality credit, which provides further confidence in an otherwise volatile market.
