Changes to SEB SICAV 2 – SEB Nordic Small Cap Fund (the “Sub-Fund”), including a new benchmark and the removal of the performance fee, will take effect on 1 December 2026.
Change of benchmark
The Sub-Fund’s benchmark will change from the VINX Small Cap NI Index to the Carnegie Small CSX Net Return Nordic (CSNRXNORDIC).
The new benchmark is considered a more appropriate comparator for the Sub-Fund. Carnegie's small-cap indices are among the most widely used benchmarks for Nordic small-cap funds, alongside MSCI's Nordic small-cap indices, making it easier for investors to compare the Sub-Fund’s performance with that of its peers.
In addition, the VINX Small Cap NI Index includes Iceland, which is not a primary market for the Sub-Fund. The index also adjusts market capitalisation for free float, which may result in the inclusion of larger companies. As a result, the Carnegie Small CSX Net Return Nordic index is considered a more representative benchmark for the Sub-Fund’s Nordic small-cap investment strategy.
No significant portfolio reallocation is expected as a result of these changes.
Removal of the performance fee
The performance fee will be removed from all share classes of the Sub-Fund. No performance fee has accrued for the current performance period, and no performance fee will be crystallised or paid as a result of the removal.
This change is intended to align the Sub-Fund’s fee structure more closely with prevailing market practice. The fixed management fee will remain unchanged.
New share class added to the Prospectus
A new NOK (Norwegian krone) capitalising share class (UC-NOK), ISIN LU3405561781, was launched on 31 July 2026, primarily for distribution in Norway.
