This is a merger by absorption, whereby the merging sub-fund's (SEB Fund 3 – SEB Medical Fund) holdings - assets and liabilities - will be transferred to the receiving fund (SEB Concept Biotechnology), and SEB Fund 3 - SEB Medical Fund will cease to exist.
The merging sub-fund and the receiving fund have similar investment objectives and fundamental investment strategies and are managed by the same investment team. Therefore, the receiving fund will continue to follow the same investment objective and strategy as previously, and the fund’s fees will not be affected.
If fund unit holders wish to redeem their units in either of the funds, units may be purchased or redeemed free of charge till 14 April 2023. SEB Investment Management AB bears any costs related to legal, advisory and administration costs that arise in relation to the merger. Redemption can result in taxation.
