The fund is actively managed and invests primarily in high yield corporate bonds in the European fixed-income market, with a significant concentration on Nordic issuers. The fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in European investment grade bonds or global high yield bonds. The fund aims to contribute positively to climate change mitigation in accordance with, among other things, the goal of the Paris Agreement, and to increase the value of your investment over time. The aim is to identify issuers with strong fundamentals and projects that are aligned with the goal of the Paris Agreement and are contributing to global decarbonisation. The analysis considers companies' handling of climate risks and opportunities. This includes, but is not limited to, their commitment to the Science-Based Targets initiative’s (sciencebasedtargets.org) strategies for reducing carbon emissions, their products and services’ contribution to climate change mitigation, and their operational setup involving energy efficiency solutions, renewable energy and recycling. This is done in conjunction with evaluating the?company's potential to deliver long-term capital growth. Engagement with the issuers is also part of the process to influence issuers to set up strategies to mitigate climate change and make ongoing and meaningful progress concerning climate risks and opportunities. For more detailed information about the fund's sustainability work, see the fund's Sustainability Information Document in our Fund List.
The fund started 2014 but its objective and investment policy changed on 30 december, 2022. The performance before that date was hence achieved under circumstances that no longer apply.
