Asset Manager Comment
Updated: 2024-07-03

During June, the fund performed worse than its benchmark index.

Differences between the fund's performance and the benchmark index are mainly explained by the fund's sustainability criteria. Part of these criteria means that 10 percent of the fund is invested in companies with activities that can make a positive contribution to climate change. During the month, this segment performed worse than the fund's benchmark index. Negative contributions came not least from companies active in renewable energy. The largest came from solar energy company SMA Solar Technology, a German manufacturer of converters for solar energy use. The company communicated expectations of worse results than previously expected, which led to a sharp decline halfway through the month. Stock levels at distributors and installers are high and indicate weak end customer demand.

Another came from the American solar energy company First Solar, which benefited from the current administration's investment in renewable energy, but where the market now seems to be pricing for the greater probability of a Trump victory in the presidential election. This would likely lead to the abolition of at least some of the existing subsidies.

The fact that the fund does not invest in the energy sector, or in other companies with activities related to fossil fuels, had a positive impact on the fund's relative return during the month. The energy sector developed weakly despite the strong development in the price of oil.

Index-linked funds
Our index-linked funds adopt an investment strategy based on creating a portfolio with a high ESG profile while, as far as possible, its characteristics mirror its benchmark index. The funds apply a quantitative asset management approach that entails the use of mathematical models for analysis and selection of equities. The advantage of quantitative asset management is that it enables fund managers to apply a systematic approach to processing vast quantities of data. Sustainability is incorporated in the selection process, for example, through models that prioritise companies whose operations, in various ways, benefit the transition to renewable energy.

Summary


This financial product promotes environmental or social characteristics, but does not have a sustainable investment objective. However, the fund will have a minimum share of sustainable investments.

The fund analyses how the sustainable investments affect such things as emissions, water and biodiversity on an ongoing basis. The fund also ensures that the holdings do not seriously and systematically infringe on accepted international standards and conventions relating to sustainability as adopted by the UN, ILO and OECD or are otherwise involved in unacceptable operations relating to sustainability or corporate governance.

External suppliers will provide Swedbank Robur with an analysis of which companies can be associated with violations of international norms. Based on information from our suppliers and other available information, Swedbank Robur will make its own assessment on whether it is a question of a serious and systematic violation. If such a violation is deemed to occur, the company's securities are not a sustainable investment.

The fund promotes low emissions of carbon dioxide, business strategies that include the UN Global Goals (SDGs), green share and Swedbank Robur Quant Score.

Sustainability and climate work constitute an integrated part of the investment strategy in order to manage sustainability and climate risks and to promote environmental and social characteristics. The fund is obligated to follow the Management Company’s "Policy for Responsible Investments" (adopted by the Board) and uses three overarching methods ("include", "exclude" and "engage") in order to achieve the environmental and social characteristics promoted by the fund. The fund follows the Management Company’s "Principles for Shareholder Engagement" (adopted by the Board). As an active owner, the aim of Swedbank Robur is that the companies we invest in are managed in an efficient and long-term sustainable manner.

There are plans for at least 70% of the fund's assets to consist of investments aligned with environmental or social characteristics, of which at least 13% will be sustainable investments.

The Management Company’s risk function monitors and checks that the environmental or social characteristics that the fund promotes are complied with. The risk function also performs a quarterly follow-up and analysis of the metrics the Management Company has selected to measure how the fund’s investments promote environmental or social characteristics.

In order to measure the attainment of the environmental and social characteristics that the fund promotes, the sustainability indicators weighted average carbon dioxide intensity, SDG aligned revenues, green share and Swedbank Robur Quant Score are used. 

Swedbank Robur uses several sources in its process to measure how funds promote environmental and social characteristics. Swedbank Robur purchases data from major data providers that have demonstrated a robust method for guaranteeing the quality of data. In order to guarantee the quality of the data purchased, the supplier's data and product range are reviewed. When there is an opportunity, test data is taken from several providers offering the same product in order to compare as large a selection as possible. 

There are a number of limitations with the models and data being currently used. The main limitation is the number of asset allocations for which metric calculation methods exist. The coverage is generally good for the funds, where a mix between reported and estimated data is used. Furthermore, Swedbank Robur believes that the method used by the data provider for estimating data is reliable.

The Management Company has due diligence procedures in place in order to ensure that sustainability risks and the sustainability requirements established for the fund are taken into consideration in the investment decision. Sustainability analysis is an integrated part of the fund management’s investment process. In order to manage sustainability risks and integrate the risks in investment decisions, the fund management follows the procedures that the Management Company describes in the Management Company’s "Strategy to include" and "Strategy to exclude". The Management Company’s risk function performs a daily inspection to determine whether the fund’s holdings fulfil its sustainability requirements and regulations regarding exclusion.

The fund follows the Management Company's "Principles for Shareholder Engagement" (adopted by the Board). In the event of sustainability-related controversies in invested companies, Swedbank Robur has special procedures and processes to monitor and follow up with the company. Both dialogue work and voting are key tools to try to prevent and respond to sustainability-related controversies.
