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 16-35 equities over the long term that are issued by European companies and thereby has a currency exposure to these markets. Our focus is to construct a portfolio of high-quality companies with a variety of drivers and good outlooks and a reasonable valuation.

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 4/7

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 4, which means there is a medium 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 made in a limited number of regions or issuers, the fund normally has a higher risk relative to investments that are allocated with a broader geographical distribution and across a larger number of issuers.

The fund's investment focus means that the fund may have significant exposure to a limited number of equities, which can result in lower liquidity than if the fund had a greater number of holdings. 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.

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

Portfolio manager comments — Q3 2025

The market performed positively during the quarter, gaining just over 3%. However, the fund lagged behind, primarily due to developments within the financial sector, where European banks continued to perform strongly. Several banks, particularly in Southern Europe, are excluded from the fund’s investment universe as a result of its screening criteria.

Among the companies that contributed most negatively to the fund’s return were Novo Nordisk and Zalando, both of which declined by around 20% following profit warnings and heightened concerns regarding growth prospects. The position in Zalando has been divested, while the holding in Novo Nordisk was increased following the share price decline. AI‑exposed companies such as Deutsche Börse, SAP, and RELX also underperformed during the period.

Holdings within the insurance sector reported weak results, and several positions within the pharmaceutical sector were weighed down by concerns over potential new drug price regulations in the U.S. The position in Hannover Re was sold following a disappointing earnings report.

The strongest positive contributors to performance were ASML, which appreciated more than 20% during the quarter, and ING, which was the fund’s top‑performing bank and its second‑best contributor overall. At the sector level, industrial companies were the primary positive drivers, with strong performance from holdings such as Legrand, Diploma, and Sandvik.

During the quarter, the fund initiated new positions in Kone, Rentokil, and Ashtead, thereby increasing its exposure to more cyclical sectors. This positioning is considered advantageous in a scenario of continued interest rate cuts.
