SEB SICAV 1 – SEB Emerging Markets Fund (“the sub-fund”) is changing its benchmark index and investment restrictions, effective 1 September 2026.
Change of benchmark index
The current benchmark index of the sub-fund, MSCI Emerging Markets Net Return Index, will change to MSCI EM 10/40 Index. This change aims to better reflect the sub-fund’s investment universe while improving diversification and maintaining access to investment opportunities. The sub-fund will use the index for performance comparison and will aim to outperform it, though the investment team will retain the flexibility to deviate from the index.
Some portfolio adjustments will be made to reflect the composition of the new index. These adjustments involve highly liquid securities, and transaction costs are not expected to have a material impact on investors.
Change to investment restrictions
The maximum allocation to locally traded China equities will be increased from 10% to up to 15%. This change is intended to provide the investment manager with greater flexibility to invest in opportunities within the Chinese equity market.
