Sustainability-
rating

The sustainability rating is developed by the fund information company Morningstar. The rating measures how well the fund's investee companies manage sustainability risks relative to other funds within the same global Morningstar category. If the fund has invested in government bonds issued by sovereign states, the respective country's sustainability risk is included in the calculation. The analyzed funds can receive a sustainability rating between 1 and 5 globes, with 5 as the highest rating.

The fund complies with the UN Principles for Responsible Investments.

 
The EU’s SFDR regulation (regulation 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector) was implemented in 2021 and provides for a standardization in the sustainability reporting for mutual funds. This has reduced the need for other sustainability labels. Accordingly, Handelsbanken Fonder has chosen to remove the fund’s Nordic Swan ecolabel license from December 17.

Portfolio manager comments — Q3 2025
The fund posted a gain during the period but underperformed its benchmark, the SIX Sweden SRI Gross Index.

The largest negative contributors to performance were Novo Nordisk, Thule, and Essity. Novo Nordisk came under pressure from concerns over potential U.S. regulatory initiatives aimed at lowering drug prices, as well as increased availability of lower priced alternatives with similar effects, so called compounders. The company also issued a profit warning ahead of its half year report, further weighing on its share price. Thule faced weaker demand conditions, particularly from North American distributors, while Essity underperformed due to low volume growth.

The strongest positive contributors were Sandvik, Hexagon, and SEB. Sandvik performed well following a quarterly report showing solid order intake within the mining segment. Hexagon rose after divesting part of its business at an attractive multiple, and SEB performed in line with the broader banking sector.

During the period, the fund increased exposure to more late cyclical companies such as Atlas Copco and ABB, while reducing its holding in the more short cyclical Sandvik. The position in Handelsbanken was exited, as the stock is considered to be trading at a premium relative to its historical valuation.

The fund maintains its focus on companies with sustainable business models and competitive offerings, with the aim of generating sustainable, profitable growth over time.
