SEB Fund 1 – SEB Europe Exposure Fund will merge with SEB Europe Exposure

As an investor, you are not required to take any action concerning this merger. The value of your investment will not be affected, but it is important for you to be aware of the merger.

SEB Funds AB will merge Luxembourg-domiciled SEB Fund 1 – SEB Europe Exposure Fund (merging sub-fund) with Sweden-domiciled SEB Europe Exposure (receiving fund), effective 16 February 2026.  

The merger part of our aim to consolidate and sharpen our product offering and to make fund management more efficient.

How you as an investor are affected

The receiving fund, SEB Europe Exposure, has been created for the purpose of absorbing the merging sub-fund, SEB Fund 1 – SEB Europe Exposure Fund. The merger will lead to lower on-going charges due to the Luxembourg taxe d’abonnement, and hence this will enable the receiving fund to achieve a better performance. 

Differences between the funds

As the receiving fund has been established specifically to absorb the merging fund, both funds share very similar investment objectives and strategies. They also share the same risk profile.

Apart from the fact that the transferring fund is registered in Luxembourg and the receiving fund in Sweden, the key difference between the two is how their benchmark indices are constructed. The merging sub-fund is managed against a standard index, with exclusions applied as part of the investment process, while the receiving fund will be managed against a custom index that incorporates these exclusions. As a result, the receiving fund will follow its benchmark more closely, making it easier for customers to understand how the fund is managed.
