Benchmark Index and Investment Restrictions Changes for SEB SICAV 1 – SEB Emerging Markets Fund
From 1 September 2026, SEB Funds AB will change the benchmark index and investment restrictions for the SEB SICAV 1 – SEB Emerging Markets Fund. This change aims to better reflect the sub-fund’s investment universe while improving diversification and maintaining access to investment opportunities.
Changes: The benchmark index will change from MSCI Emerging Markets Net Return Index to MSCI EM 10/40 Index. The maximum allocation to locally traded China equities will be increased from 10% to up to 15%.
Effective date: 1 September 2026.
Impact: No action is required from investors. No material impact is expected on investment. This update will not affect the investment objective, strategy, fees, or risk profile of the sub-fund.
Portfolio: 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.
Redemption: You may redeem your units free of charge until the cut-off time on 28 August 2026. Please note that redemptions may have tax implications, and we recommend consulting your financial adviser if you have any questions.
More information about the changes is available on the SEB group website.
