Handelsbanken Global Index Core (A9 NOK)

The fund is an index fund and its objective is to track the performance of the Solactive ISS ESG Core Screened Global Markets Index NTR 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 0.25% 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 index reflects the equity markets globally, with the exception of those companies that do not fulfill the sustainability requirements of the index.

The index that the fund follows includes sustainability requirements. These requirements mean that the index excludes companies involved in verified violations of international norms, as well as companies operating in the areas/industries of tobacco, cannabis, commercial gambling, weapons and military equipment in countries outside NATO/EU, controversial weapons, nuclear weapons, pornography, and fossil fuels.

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.
