Taking the next step in sustainability!

Catella Fondförvaltning AB received permission from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority on 19 April 2017 to change the name of the fund Catella Reavinstfond to Catella Sverige Aktiv Hållbarhet, and to change the fund rules to reflect and clarify the fund's investment orientation towards sustainable investments and companies.

"The foundation of our investment philosophy and process is our belief that there is a link between a sustainable business model and sustainability in a company's profitability and growth. We seek to achieve long-term good returns by actively incorporating sustainability criteria in our selection process in order to find companies whose long-term profitability and competitiveness are underestimated by the market."

Catella became a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment in 2009, and has since then intensified its focus on sustainability in all its funds. We are now going a step further with the Catella Reavinstfond fund. The fund was started in 1998 with an ambition to provide a long-term return that exceeds the stock exchange as a whole (SIX RX). Between its inception and 31 March 2017, the fund has generated more than 9.72 percent in average annual returns. We are now making changes aimed at developing the fund, and our ambition is to improve these returns for our clients. Since the autumn of 2016, the fund has been managed by a new and expanded team consisting of three experienced portfolio managers: Anna Strömberg, Henrik Holmer and Henrik Gripenvik. The investment focus will be adjusted by giving a more prominent place for sustainability criteria in the investment process, alongside the financial analysis.
