The new funds added to the fixed income range are the Nordea 1 Unconstrained Bond fund, managed by US credit specialist MacKay Shields, and the Nordea 1 Nordic Corporate Bond fund, which will be run by Nordea’s credit team.
The Unconstrained Bond fund will invest across all asset classes with limited benchmark constraints using a multi-sector investment approach and active duration management, while the Corporate Bond fund will invests in corporate bonds across the risk spectrum, excluding financials.
Additionally it will offer diversification from continental European credit markets and will be hedged in euros and focus on small and under-researched issuers.
However, the two equity funds include Nordea 1 Chinese Equity fund, and the Nordea 1 Emerging Markets Small Cap fund. The China fund, managed by Nordea’s international focus equity team, will operate as a high-conviction portfolio focused of Chinese equities and will invest in high quality, growing Chinese companies.
