About the fund
Carnegie Investment Grade invests in bonds issued by Nordic companies. The fund focuses on corporate bonds with high credit ratings, known as investment grade.
Investments are never made in a particular sector, or any specific country or currency. The analysis is based on, and always chooses, companies that the portfolio managers want to invest in. Companies that they believe in for the long term.
The average maturity of the portfolio is around 3 years, but may at times be longer or shorter. The fund is traded daily, without any lock-in for the unitholders. All holdings in foreign currencies are hedged against Swedish kronor, in order for the unitholders to avoid currency risk.

Risk category
The seven-point risk scale is common to funds in the EU. Risk category 1 represents the lowest risk but also the lowest possibility of returns. Seven is the highest risk with higher possibility of returns. The risk category is based on how the fund's value has fluctuated over the past five years.
Total risk
A measure of risk that measures value changes. Stated as a percentage. The higher the percentage, the higher the volatility. Calculated as the standard deviation of monthly returns for the fund during 24 months, multiplied by the square root of the number of months during the year.
Sharpe ratio
The Sharpe ratio is a measure of risk that compares the actual return on the portfolio, minus the risk-free interest rate, to the total portfolio risk. Portfolio risk is defined as the standard deviation of returns over 24 months. This can be said to illustrate the payment you receive for the risk you take.
Churn
Churn measures how many transactions are made by the fund manager. It is defined as the lowest of the sum of purchased and sold securities, divided by the average net asset value of the fund. Churn is expressed as an annual rate.
Benchmark index
No benchmark index is used since there is no available index that corresponds well with the fund’s investment policy.
Swing pricing
Swing pricing means that the fund’s NAV rate may be adjusted when the fund’s net flows (the sum of deposits and withdrawals in the fund) during a given day exceed a threshold value. The threshold value is an amount and is calculated by a percentage of the fund’s total value. This is called partial swing and is the method of swing pricing used by Carnegie Fonder. If the threshold value is exceeded, a swing factor is applied which is a certain percentage and which is judged to correspond to the costs of managing the net flows. The reason why swing pricing is used is that large transaction costs can arise with large net flows. In order for these costs not to affect other unit holders in the fund, they are instead charged to the unit holders who caused the flow by adjusting the NAV rate with the swing factor. The levels of the threshold and the swing factor are reviewed by Carnegie Fonder on a regular basis.
