What is an equity fund?
An equity fund invests in stocks. An equity fund is ideal for long-term investment or as an alternative or complement to direct stock investments. The recommended investment horizon is 5–9 years, depending on the fund. A long investment horizon smooths out rises and falls in equity market returns.
In an equity fund, assets are diversified in several different stocks, which reduces the risk involved in the investment. You do not need to keep track of the invested stocks as this is done by professional fund managers who monitor the markets and the funds' development.
Why invest in equity funds?
- Possibility of a better return on investment than the fixed income market, for example. The higher expected return also involves higher risk. In the long term, equity markets are expected to deliver a return on investment of 6% to 10%.
- Diversify broadly in stocks with a single investment. In an equity fund, your invest in several different stocks, which lowers the risk compared to individual equity investments.
- The stocks are picked and the fund managed by professional investment fund managers. They also monitor the market actively and make changes to the fund's investments if necessary.

Return on investment from the stock market
Ups and downs in the prices of stocks affect the value of fund units. The value performance of equity funds that invest in a specific sector reflects the performance of stocks in that sector.
However, the risk is reduced by diversifying the investment in several different stocks and in the case of many equity funds, also in different sectors and markets. This way, the risk is lower than when investing in an individual stock.
We offer several equity funds that invest in different markets based on different strategies.
- Funds investing in developed markets
- Funds investing in emerging markets
- Index funds investing based on a benchmark index
