SEB offers an opportunity to invest in a safer future of Europe

To give customers the opportunity to invest in companies that strengthen Europe’s defence, security, and resilience, SEB is introducing a new investment fund across all three Baltic countries – SEB European Defence & Security Fund. The fund is available to private investors and is actively managed, ensuring a professional approach and flexibility in changing market conditions.

Europe’s security and defence have become key priorities in light of geopolitical risks and cybersecurity challenges. Investments in this sector promote stability, innovation, and technological development, while offering investors the opportunity to diversify their portfolio and achieve long-term returns. The fund invests in companies operating in defence, cybersecurity, energy, technology, raw materials, and infrastructure.

“Investor interest in the defence sector continues to grow. Responding to client demand, we are launching a new investment fund that supports the development of a stronger and safer Europe. Until now, investments in this fund were available to SEB Group clients in Sweden, Finland, and Norway, but now – also to residents of the Baltics. This is a unique solution in the Baltic market, providing access to companies of strategic importance in Europe. Anyone can invest in the fund starting from just one euro. The fund is actively managed, and it is worth noting that the management team this year received the prestigious LSEG Lipper Fund Award for the best Nordic equity fund over a five-year period, confirming the strategy’s solid performance and high risk-adjusted returns,” emphasizes Oļegs Andrejevs, Head of Savings, Investments and Pension Offering at SEB.

SEB European Defence & Security Fund:

• Focused on European companies that strengthen security and resilience.
• Up to 25% of assets may be invested outside Europe – in NATO and OECD member states, as well as Taiwan, ensuring access to global technologies.
• The portfolio maintains 30–50 positions, applying fundamental analysis and a bottom-up stock selection strategy*.
• Actively managed to allow flexible responses to market changes.
   

Detailed information about the fund is available in the “Investments” / “Funds” section of SEB internet bank.

*A bottom-up stock selection strategy means investment decisions are based on detailed analysis of individual companies rather than macroeconomic or sector forecasts.

Please note: investing involves risk.
