Portfolio manager comments — Q2 2024
The fund’s positive performance continued during Q2 and the fund rose almost 2.5% in SEK, driven primarily by changes in equity prices. However, the strengthening of the SEK against key currencies such as the Japanese yen (JPY) and the USD slightly diminished returns in SEK.
The drivers from Q1 continued to have an impact during Q2. Equities linked to AI as a structural driver continued to outperform. The fund’s investment in TSMC is one of the equities that benefits from this trend. TSMC was also the strongest contributor to returns during the quarter. Apple presented its first targeted user-centric AI products that focus on the protection of privacy with smaller models that are often seemingly capable of being run on the users’ own device. Apple also contributed positively to returns. However, the micro loan company ASA International was the strongest contributor to returns, although the contribution was limited due to the small position in the portfolio.
Wise posted the weakest performance among the portfolio companies after the company’s outlooks did not meet market expectations. We believe that Wise’s internal infrastructure for payments between countries is in a very good position for reducing costs and complexities for its customers and should provide strong returns to shareholders over time.
The fund added a number of new investments during the quarter. Tobii Dynavox is a Swedish medtech company within advanced communication assistance with eye trackers, speech generation and symbol-based language and an education platform for teachers. The company is a market leader and their products are used by individuals with spinal cord injuries, ALS and autism. An estimated 50 million people need communication assistance and only 2% of these actually have access this assistance. We also added Spanish BBVA within the financial inclusion theme as well as Japanese JR Central and German Infineon within the energy effectiveness theme.
