Handelsbanken Sverige LM Index (B1)

The fund is an index fund and its objective is to track the performance of the Solactive ISS ESG Screened Select Sweden Index CNTR as closely as possible. The fund is passively managed.

Fund returns are determined by how the fund's investments in equities increase or decrease in value. The index will be replicated through optimized physical replication, which means that the fund invests directly in a larger selection of the equities included in the index. Tracking error is expected to be less than 0.2% under normal market conditions. The management fee, as well as customer flows, index rebalancing and corporate events result in transaction costs for the fund, which are not present in the index. These are the main factors that impact the fund’s ability to replicate the index. The index is reinvested, i.e., distributions paid for equities included in the index are reinvested in the index after tax adjustments.

The fund follows an index that includes sustainability requirements. Companies that do not meet the defined requirements for sustainability are excluded from the index. The sustainability requirements include international standards and guidelines for the environment, social responsibility and corporate governance. The requirements also include the fund’s exclusion of companies involved in the production or distribution of fossil fuels, tobacco, gambling, cannabis and pornography. However, the fund may 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 can invest in derivative instruments as part of the fund’s investment focus. However, the use of derivative instruments is of such a nature that it only has a marginal impact on the fund’s risk level.

Additional information about the sustainability work, the share class designation in parentheses and the management in relation to the funds benchmark index, may be found in the prospectus.

Recommendation: This fund may not be suitable for investors who plan to withdraw their money within 5 years.
