HANDELSBANKEN FONDER – HOW WE WORK Multi Manager
Solutions Multi Manager Solutions Within Multi Manager Solutions, we manage fund-of-funds and discretionary portfolios. We invest in both Handelsbanken’s own funds and other providers’ funds. The approach is based on our managers’ market view and investment strategy. The starting point is a thorough external analysis, in which we identify interesting changes and factors expected to generate positive long-term returns. In the selection process leading up to a fund’s approval as an investment, we analyse and evaluate both the fund provider and the fund itself. The fund company evaluation considers organisational structure, administrative team and investment process, among other factors. We also place requirements on systematic sustainability efforts. The fund company’s future sustainability ambitions are also assessed. We take a broad approach to our work, excluding and including funds and engaging. When we include or exclude funds, we set the same sustainability requirements for funds from other fund companies as for our own. Our requirements also stipulate active engagement and governance in their management. “ Within our Multi Manager Solutions, we aim to engage with other fund companies around sustainability efforts so that they meet our high standards. This allows us to invest in even more funds. Engagement takes place through direct dialogue with fund companies and fund managers, alliances and industry initiatives, as well as involvement in investor networks.” Johann Guggi, Head of Multi Manager Solutions Information about risk Past performance does not predict future returns. The value of the money invested in the fund can increase or decrease and there is no guarantee that all of your invested capital can be redeemed. The fund’s prospectus (“Informations broschyr”), fund rules and KIID are available at handelsbanken.se/funds. 16
