Changes in SEB investment funds

As of 6 September, units of the funds managed by SEB Investment Management AB in fund classes B, C, and D will be exchanged for new units in fund classes U and F.

New classes of U- and F-type investment fund units were introduced in 2021. Exchanging old fund units for a new class of fund units is a continuation of the aim to achieve a simpler structure for investment-related fees. 

Class B, C, and D investment fund units in the securities account will be automatically switched to the corresponding new fund classes, with the investment policy, strategy, risk level and transaction cycle all remaining unchanged.

The change mainly concerns pricing

The new U- and F-type fund classes have no entry, exit or transaction fees. The new type of fee will be a monthly administration fee payable to the bank, along with recurring fees, which will be included in the unit price and will be lower than before. A more detailed overview of each fund taking part of the switch is available on the SEB website.

As of 6 September, when the process of switching of fund units to new fund class starts, no transactions will be allowed in old fund classes. Transactions with old fund class fund units may be performed until 6 September at 14.00. The standing payment order for fund saving will be automatically transferred to the new fund classes as of 6 September, and will continue under the same conditions when switching to the new share class.

If you do not wish to participate in the fund class switch, you can sell your existing units without exit fees until 14.00 on 6 September, and terminate the corresponding standing payment order for the fund saving contract before 6 September. 

According to the plans, the process for changing the fund classes will end on 20 September, and it will then be possible to trade in the new unit classes of the investment fund.
