Investment policy
Danske Invest Baltic Equity is intended for investors who are looking for an investment solution on the Baltic emerging equity markets that is profitable, professionally managed and well-diversified. The fund is well-suited, for long-term investment, to experienced investors who can accept even substantial changes in the value of the fund from time to time. Due to its higher risk level than that of a normal mutual fund, the fund is recommended only as a small part of a diversified investment portfolio. The recommended investment horizon in the fund is more than five years.
The assets of Danske Invest Baltic Equity are invested in a diversified manner mainly in publicly traded equities whose issuer is a Baltic company, or a company operating in or listed in the Baltic region, or a company that is highly dependent on the economies of the Baltic region. The general performance of the Baltic emerging equity markets is reflected in the value of the fund. |
