About risk

Historical yields are not a guarantee of future returns. A fund can both increase and decrease in value and it is not guaranteed that you will recover the entire invested amount. Note that a fund with risk level 5-7, as stated in the fund's fact sheet (KID), can vary greatly in value due to the fund's composition and management methodology. The prospectus, fund rules and KID are available under each fund. Summary of investors' rights.

The fund is actively managed and invests in equities that are primarily issued by small companies in the U. S. , as well as in Canada and Mexico. As a result, the fund has a currency exposure to these markets.

The thematic investment strategy provides for investments that occur in a limited area in which development is deemed to result in a structural change to the economy and society. This change provides favorable conditions for companies active within the area to create profitable growth over time.

For this fund, the fund company's Enhanced exclusion level applies. For information about sectors that the fund excludes, see the Detailed information tab.

Risk 5/7

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 5, which means there is a medium-high 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.

An investment in an equity fund is generally characterized by high risk as the value of the equities can fluctuate significantly over time but also has the potential for high returns.

The indicator primarily reflects the upturns and downturns in the value of the fund’s equity investments and fluctuations in exchange rates.

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

Given that the fund’s investments are concentrated to one region, the fund normally has a higher risk relative to investments that are allocated with a larger geographical distribution and across several regions or countries.

The fund's investment focus entails exposure to smaller companies that frequently have lower liquidity. In general, the variation in liquidity is considered to be higher relative to the equity market overall. This can impact the fund's ability to manage significant outflows at a relatively low cost.

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

Portfolio manager comments — Q1 2025

Fund performance was negative during Q1 but outperformed the fund’s benchmark index*.

Q1 included some drama in the US equity market. As the quarter progressed, concerns increased about how the Trump administration’s proposed tariffs would impact the economy and inflation. The US’ move closer to Russia also raised the geopolitical risk premium, which led to a clear shift in sentiment, with capital flows moving away from the US and into Europe. In general, small caps posted weaker performance than large caps, with the technology sector and cyclical companies with exposure to the consumer among the weakest performers. More defensive sectors, such as insurance, fared better.

Fund returns benefited from Cavco, which posted strength driven by a strong quarterly report. A number of companies within the financial sector also contributed positively, such as Tradeweb and Palomar, while the holdings in nVent and Everus Construction were negatively affected by the market’s concern about the stamina in data center investments. A weaker USD against SEK also weighed on the fund’s returns during the quarter.

During the period the fund added Cellebrite, which is active within digital security and forensic analysis. The also added Comfort Systems, which works with electrical and VVS installations, while we sold the holdings in Wex and Blackline.

The fund continues to hold high-quality companies with exposure to structurally strong themes, such as re-shoring, electrification and digitalization.

The fund changed its portfolio manager to Fredrik Börjesson on 1 March.
