Carnegie Fonder’s history
2017
Carnegie Fonder joins United Nations Global Compact, the world´s leading voluntary corporate citizenship initiative. We also join CDP and its global disclosure system that enables companies to measure and manage their environmental impacts.
2016
Carnegie Fonder AB is moved from Carnegie Holding into a newly formed group, entirely dedicated to asset management. The new owner is Carneo Asset Managers, which in turn is owned by Altor Fund III.
Also, the funds Carnegie Micro Cap and Carnegie High Yield Select are launched.
In August Carnegie Total is launched, an asset allocation fund that invests in our most successful funds.
2015
The interest rate is a record low, but in emerging markets, there are opportunities to find “yield” in companies with attractive bonds. Therefore, we launch Carnegie Emerging Markets Corporate Bond.
2012
Carnegie Småbolagsfond, with focus on small caps, starts. It is a great complement to Carnegie Sverigefond where size makes it more difficult to invest in smaller companies.
2010
HQ Bank has major problems and HQ Fonder is sold to Öresund who in turn sells us on to Carnegie Holding, a group which also includes Carnegie Investment bank. Our name is changed Carnegie Fonder, and all funds are renamed. For example, the HQ Strategifond changes to Carnegie Strategifond. However, the investment philosophy and management organization are intact.
2009
In the trace of the financial crisis, the importance of corporate bonds increase and we start Carnegie Corporate Bond. It makes us one of the pioneers within Nordic credits.

1996
The fund Emerging Markets starts, making us one of the Sweden’s pioneers of funds targeted towards the world’s emerging markets.
