Arctic Nordic Equities Class B NOK 2 416,36 2017-03-31 1,15% 12,49% Nav Date Year to date Last 12 months Comments to Equity Markets in March 2017 þÿInternational stock markets continued upwards in March albeit at a slower pace. We regard this as a sign of strength considering the prospects for rising interest rates in several regions. However, we would not rule out that the low interest rate level in itself, plus still ample liquidity, continues to supply the stock market with up-drift. In light of annual result presented by most international corporations, profitability and return on capital must be considered as good. There is, however, a trend towards higher debt levels for large US corporations. We view this as a consequence of low interest rates, and we will monitor this development closely. It looks as if investors now have taken a wait-and-see approach towards the much ballyhooed investments in infrastructure that followed with the election of Trump. This might, in turn, explain the somewhat weak stock market performance of companies within cyclical industries like metals and mining. Additionally, energy and big pharmaceutical companies were on the weak side. The latter must probably be seen in light of Trumps initial attempts to reform the US healthcare system, which recently ground to a halt. Finally, the recapitalization of the Italian banking system continues. It looks as if the two largest banks, Intesa and Unicredit, have firm ground under their þÿfeet. However, conflicting signals and rumors about possible solutions have spurred substantial stock market volatility, also for banks in other European countries. Fund commentary 60 The largest positive contributions to return in March came from Investor AB, SAAB and Stora Enso. In March, Investor held its first Capital Markets Day in 7 years. We were particularly encouraged by the management presentations from several of the unlisted portfolio companies. Most notably, Mölnlycke Health Care highlighted many growth opportunities, while a changing business þÿmix is likely to support margins. Defense contractor SAAB s order pipeline took important steps forward. Fighter jet procurement programs in Belgium, Finland and India proceeded during the month, with SAAB well-positioned. Moreover, the company was awarded a SEK 3.2 bn contract for a next generation anti-ship missile for the Swedish Armed Forces. Stora gained as pulp prices continued to recover. Moreover, price hikes for several packaging grades support earnings growth. 50 40 30 20 10 0 01-2013 01-2014 01-2015 01-2016 Arctic Nordic Equities Class B NOK The most negative contributions to fund performance in March came from Lerøy Seafood, Austevoll Seafood and Marine Harvest Group.
