SEB Nordic Small Cap Fund is a fund that makes active investment decisions based on analysis and selection focusing on small and medium-sized Nordic companies. The fund’s portfolio normally contains 40 to 80 holdings, although this can vary somewhat. We place great emphasis on our fundamental analysis. We meet regularly with the companies in which we invest, prior to as well as during the investment period. We avoid unproven business models, seeking instead to identify what we regards as high quality companies with strong market positions which we believe have a proven ability to generate profitable growth. In situations where the number of companies and the liquidity in the relevant markets are limited, it can be more difficult for the fund manager to make investment decisions that substantially differ from the market. Compared to the benchmark, the fund normally has a higher level of market risk. Additionally, the fund is expected to develop strongly in rising stock markets and more slowly in declining stock markets. We compare the fund's return to the VINX Small Cap EUR NI Index, an index that includes equities from Nordic small-sized companies.
