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 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.

SFDR

This fund promotes environmental and social characteristics through its investments but does not have sustainable investments as its objective. As a result, the fund takes into consideration the environment and climate, as well as human rights, employees’ rights and corruption.
The fund is reported as an Article 8 fund pursuant to EU regulation on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (SFDR).

Sustainability-
rating

The fund does not have a sustainability rating. This can in part be due to that fund has not had a fund portfolio in which 67% of the holdings have been able to be analyzed over the most recent 12 months. Another reason can be that there are fewer than 30 funds in the same global Morningstar category that could be evaluated pursuant to the above. The rating is developed by the independent fund information company Morningstar.

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 — Q4 2024

Fund performance was negative in Q4, although several of the fund holdings delivered strong results. The strongest contributors to fund returns in the period included Handelsbanken, Thule and Lagercrantz. All three companies released strong reports for Q3, with Handelsbanken reporting stronger than expected net interest income. Thule reported strong margins and Lagercrantz had both higher than expected sales and profits.

Atlas Copco, Sandvik and Nibe were among those companies that weighed down returns in the period. Atlas Copco announced a more cautious outlook in its report, while Sandvik was negatively affected by a weaker performance in its cyclical segment. Nibe has had a challenging period with lower volume growth, which was reflected in the share price performance.

The fund decreased its positions in several larger holdings during the quarter, most notably within the bank sector where share price performance has been strong. The holding in Indutrade was sold in its entirety.

In the upcoming reporting period we will continue to focus on investee companies that have sustainable business models, strong competitive edge and sustainable growth.
