Notice to the unitholders of SEB Green Bond Fund
We wish to inform you that between November 8 to 15, 2024 SEB Green Bond Fund will be merged with newly launched SEB Fund 5 – SEB Green Bond Fund.
The Fund management company decided to reduce the number of legal fund structures they are managing, thereby potentially lowering administrative handling costs to you as a client.
This is a merger by absorption, whereby the merging fund's holdings – assets and liabilities – will be transferred to the receiving sub-fund, and SEB Green Bond Fund will cease to exist. The merger does not have an impact on the receiving sub-fund’s composition of assets, as the receiving sub-fund is currently without investors and was created for the merger. The rebalancing of the merging fund’s portfolio before the merger is not foreseen, but minor immaterial adjustments of the portfolio might occur.
Merging Fund and receiving sub-fundvery similar investment objectives, investment strategies and have the same risk profile, however receiving sub-fund has greater minimum allocation in green bonds of 85% compared to merging fund’s 80%.
