A fund for stock investors

Most of the assets of OP-Brave Fund are invested in the stock market, while a smaller portion goes to the bond market. This pushes the fund's risk level lower than for an equity fund. The comprehensive diversification, both geographically as well as into bond and stock markets, make OP-Brave Fund an attractive alternative for those who do not want to actively monitor movements in the capital markets. When putting your money into OP-Brave, you can trust that professional portfolio managers follow constantly the markets and take the necessary measures, letting you focus on other things.

Even a small investment amount will result to wide diversification of the investment in a cost-efficient manner.

A fund for profit-seeking and patient investors

OP-Brave Fund has expected yield because it has higher equity weighting than the rest of our Saver's funds. This brings about higher exposure to market fluctuations than for funds emphasising fixed income. When investing in OP-Brave Fund, you need to be ready to tolerate moments when the value of your fund units is going down. Fund is best suited to a passive investor who intends to redeem his/her units after six years at the earliest. For short-term investing, we recommend funds with a more stable performance.

Investment policy

OP-Brave Fund is a balanced fund investing its assets primarily in the global equity markets and partly in the global fixed-income markets. In the base scenario, the fund invests 80% of its assets in equity markets and 20% in the fixed-income markets. The proportion of equity investments may range between 70–100% and fixed-income investments between 0–30%. The fund's investments are primarily made through other investment funds. The fund may use derivatives instruments in its investment activities to hedge against market fluctuations, to replace direct investments and to otherwise promote efficient portfolio management. Primarily derivatives are used in equity and interest-rate risk management. The Fund diversifies its investments on a broad basis among various companies and bonds, since the investments are mainly implemented using funds.

The Fund promotes environmental and social characteristics and, to ensure it, uses environmental, social and governance (ESG) analysis and excludes certain investments. For more information about the ESG methods used, see the fund prospectus. The “do no significant harm” principle applies only to those investments underlying the fund that take into account the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities. The investments underlying the remaining portion of this fund do not take into account the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities.

The Fund’s benchmark index is a combination of several indexes. The composition of the benchmark index is described in the fund prospectus. With active investing, the Fund seeks to outperform its benchmark index in the long term. The Fund mainly takes
notable active risk and it may differ significantly from the composition, weights and risk level of the benchmark index.

Investments always involve risks. The value of investments can rise and fall, and the investor may lose part of or all the invested funds. Past performance is no guarantee of potential future yield.

If the fund is marketed outside Finland, OP Fund Management Company Ltd may decide to end such marketing. The information presented on this page does not fully describe all the fund’s characteristics.
