10 Report of the Board of Directors SEF - INDECAP FONDGUIDE I The investment strategy is to deliver consistent absolute return over the long term by investing in Swedish Government Bonds, Corporate Bonds, Global Equity Funds and Swedish Equity Funds. The funds benchmark is 35 percent OMRX T-Bill, 35 percent OMRX T-Bond, 20 percent MSCI World Index (Net TR) and 10 percent SIX PRX. The year was characterized by continued expansionary monetary policy, low interest rates and further quantitative easing by central banks around the world. Among the dominant economies the greatest gains were recorded in the U.S. and Germany which rose 30 percent. Japan and France increased 25,5 and 24,7 percent, while the UK showed an increase of 19,1 percent. Furthermore, Emering Markets exhibited a weak trend. Latin America and Eastern Europe fell 8 percent, while Asia fell 3,1 percent (all expressed in Swedish kronor). On the Swedish Stock Exchange, there were large differences between the indexes for large and small companies throughout the year. MSCI Sweden Net TR consisting of the 32 largest companies rose 22,9 percent, while the Carnegie Small Cap Return Index rose by 36,6 percent. At the sector level, it was mainly the financial sector that stood out with the total return of nearly 50 percent, while the industrial sector was moving sideways. The strong performance of Small Cap Index was mainly driven by an increase in risk appetite among investors. In the Swedish Bond Market interest rates rose overall. The 10-year government bond rose 100 basis points and stood at 2,52 percent at the end of the year. The return during the year for Fondguide 1 was 4,2 percent while the benchmark rose 6,2 percent. The portfolio has been over weighted to Swedish Money Market Funds, Corporate Bonds and Hedgefunds at the expense of Swedish Government Bond Funds, Swedish Stock Market and the Developed Stock Market. The largest positive contribution to the absolute return came from SPP USA and Robur Sverigefond, the return was 31,5 respectively 26,2 percent. On the fixed income-/hedgefund side Torgny Prior was the strongest performer, managing P&N Yield with a rise of 4,2 percent. Furthermore Erik Brändström managing Spiltan Räntefond and Karin Haraldsson managing Lannebo Likviditesfond returned the most with an overall increase of 3 respectively 2,8 percent. The portfolio was affected negatively by Nordea Obligationsfond which fell 3,4 percent due to rising interest rates. During the year, one new manager has been added, Mikael Lundström managing Evli Short Corporate Bond Fund. The fund has sold AMF Räntefond Kort, Vontobel Global Value, CPH Global Equity and Prior&Nilsson Sverige Aktiv. At year end, the fund was invested in 9 underlying funds. 45,6 percent to Swedish Corporate/Government Bond Funds, 23,6 percent to Swedish Money Market Funds, 18,5 percent to Swedish Equity Funds, 6 percent to Global Equity Funds and 6 percent to Hedge Funds. SEF - INDECAP FONDGUIDE II The investment strategy is to deliver consistent absolute return over the long term by investing in Swedish Equity Funds, Global Equity Funds and Emerging Market Funds. The funds benchmark is 50 percent SIX PRX, 30 percent MSCI World Index (Net TR) and 20 percent MSCI Emerging Market (Net TR). 8

11 Report of the Board of Directors (continued) The year was characterized by continued expansionary monetary policy, low interest rates and further quantitative easing by central banks around the world. Among the dominant economies the greatest gains were recorded in the U.S. and Germany which rose 30 percent. Japan and France increased 25,5 and 24,7 percent, while the UK showed an increase of 19,1 percent. Furthermore, Emering Markets exhibited a weak trend. Latin America and Eastern Europe fell 8 percent, while Asia fell 3,1 percent (all expressed in Swedish kronor). On the Swedish Stock Exchange, there were large differences between the indexes for large and small companies throughout the year. MSCI Sweden Net TR consisting of the 32 largest companies rose 22,9 percent, while the Carnegie Small Cap Return Index rose by 36,6 percent. At the sector level, it was mainly the financial sector that stood out with the total return of nearly 50 percent, while the industrial sector was moving sideways. The strong performance of Small Cap Index was mainly driven by an increase in risk appetite among investors. The return during the year for Fondguide 2 was 17,4 percent which was in line with the benchmark. The portfolio has been over weighted the Swedish Stock Market at the expense of Developed Markets and Emerging Markets. At a fund level Lars Bergqvist managing Lannebo 130/30 was the strongest performer among the broad Swedish Equity Funds with a return of 27,8 percent, while the Swedish Stock Market rose 22,9 percent. Among Global Managers Peter Robson managing Treetop Global Opportunities contributed the most after a rise of 30,6 percent while the Global Stock Market rose 25,1 percent. The portfolio was negatively affected versus the index by DNB Sverige which increased 20,6 percent. Among the Emerging Market managers Devan Kaloo was the weakest both in absolute terms and relative index, the fund fell 8,2 percent which was 4,4 percentage points after the benchmark that fell 3,8 percent. During the year, three new managers have been added, Simion Blecher managing Carnegie Sverigefond, Torgny Prior managing Prior&Nilsson Sverige Aktiv and Allan Conway managing Schroder Emerging Market. The fund has sold Öhman Emerging Market and Hexam Global Emerging Market. Furthermore, some changes were made between existing managers. At year end, the fund was invested in 18 underlying funds. 58,9 percent to Swedish Equity Funds, 27,6 percent to the Global Equity Funds and 24,2 percent to Emerging Market Funds. SEF - PLACERUM BALANSERAD Placerum Balanserad is a sub-fund that invests in a mix of equity funds and fixed income instruments. The proportion invested in each asset class will change over time due to market conditions and the fund therefore suits clients who don t want to make these investment decisions on their own. The amount of equities can vary between 0-75 percent meaning that the fund can be fully invested in fixed income instruments in the event of extreme market conditions. The fund was officially launched on January 1, 2013 but wasn t fully invested until March 1 and the index comparison for 2013 therefore becomes misleading turned out to be a great year for developed market equities, where major markets like US, Europe and Japan gained between percent in SEK. US markets were mainly driven by falling unemployment levels leading FED to reduce their QE-programme at the end of the year. In Japan on the other hand, BOJ announced it would expand its massive asset purchase programme in order to boost the economy. As a result the JPY depreciated 18 percent against the USD and Japanese equities, in particular export companies that benefit from a weaker Yen, raised sharply. 9

12 Report of the Board of Directors (continued) While developed markets were improving, emerging markets struggled with weaker growth than expected and massive sell-offs during summer when FED announced their plans of reducing its asset purchase programme. MSCI Emerging Markets ended the year down 5percent. Placerum Balanserad (Class A) gained 8,5 percent during the year. From March 1, when the fund was fully invested, average equity exposure was 55 percent. Our core holdings in Europe, Sweden and US were among the top performers in 2013 and were also the largest contributors to the fund s performance. The Emerging Market positions in Russia and China, which accounted for approximately 10 percent of NAV, had a negative impact on fund performance during the year. The China holding was closed in December, reducing the Emerging Market exposure to 5 percent at years end. Placerum Balanserad (Class I) gained 7,5 percent during the year. From March 1, when the fund was fully invested, average equity exposure was 55 percent. Our core holdings in Europe, Sweden and US were among the top performers in 2013 and were also the largest contributors to the fund s performance. The Emerging Market positions in Russia and China, which accounted for approximately 10 percent of NAV, had a negative impact on fund performance during the year. The China holding was closed in December, reducing the Emerging Market exposure to 5 percent at years end. Our fixed income holdings mainly consisted of High Yield corporate bonds. These performed very well during 2013 when market conditions improved and bond spreads were narrowing. Although we expect High Yield to be the best fixed income pick during next year, we expect overall lower returns in this segment going forward. In 2014 we expect global growth to accelerate and interest rates to be kept at low levels. This should support corporate profit growth, why we believe equities will still be the most attractive asset class the year to come. However, we expect volatility to pick up within soon and 2014 will probably be a year where active funds with flexible investment mandates can benefit. SEF - PLACERUM DYNAMISK Placerum Dynamisk is a sub-fund that mainly invests in equity funds. The equity exposure can however vary between percent meaning that the fund s risk level can be reduced significantly in the event of market turmoil. The fund thus suits clients who don t want to make these investment decisions on their own. The fund was officially launched on January 1, 2013 but wasn t fully invested until March 1 and the index comparison for 2013 therefore becomes misleading turned out to be a great year for developed market equities, where major markets like US, Europe and Japan gained between percent in SEK. US markets were mainly driven by falling unemployment levels leading FED to reduce their QE-programme at the end of the year. In Japan on the other hand, BOJ announced it would expand its massive asset purchase programme in order to boost the economy.

While developed markets were improving, emerging markets struggled with weaker growth than expected and massive sell-offs during summer when FED announced their plans of reducing its asset purchase programme. MSCI Emerging Markets ended the year down 5 percent. Placerum Dynamisk (Class A) gained 8,2 percent during the year. From March 1, when the fund was fully invested, average equity exposure was 90 percent. Our core holdings in Europe, Sweden and US were among the top performers in 2013 and were also the largest contributors to the fund s performance. The Emerging Market positions in Russia and China, which accounted for approximately 20 percent of NAV, had a negative impact on fund performance during the year. The China holding was closed in December, reducing the EM exposure to 10 percent at years end. 10

13 Report of the Board of Directors (continued) Placerum Dynamisk (Class I) gained 7,8 percent during the year. From March 1, when the fund was fully invested, average equity exposure was 90 percent. Our core holdings in Europe, Sweden and US were among the top performers in 2013 and were also the largest contributors to the fund s performance.

However, we expect volatility to pick up within soon and 2014 will probably be a year where active funds with flexible investment mandates can benefit. SEF - PLACERUM OPTIMERA Placerum Optimera is a sub-fund that invests in Government Bonds, Corporate Bonds and Hedge funds. The fund suits clients who are looking for an alternative to bank account and similar low risk savings. Return target is 4-5 percent a year. The fund was officially launched on January 1, 2013 but wasn t fully invested until March 1 and the index comparison for 2013 therefore becomes misleading. The developed economies in US, Europe, Japan and the Nordic countries were all improving in 2013, although at a slow pace. In US the unemployment rate dropped below 7 percent at the end of the year, leading the FED to start reducing its asset purchase programme in December. This is positive for the American economy but a bad omen for bonds since the 10-year bond yield will rise, putting pressure on bond prices. While FED is reducing their QE-programme, Bank of Japan expanded its massive asset purchase programme during 2013 in order to boost the economy. As a result the Yen depreciated 18 percent against the US Dollar while the stock market rose sharply. While developed markets were improving, Emerging Markets struggled with sharply rising interest rates during the summer when FED announced its plans on reducing the QE programme and as a result Emerging Market bonds had a rough year. Placerum Optimera (Class A) gained 4,5 percent during the year which was in line with the funds return target. Largest contribution came from our corporate bond holdings, which accounted for 85 percent of the portfolio. About 2/3 of the corporate bonds were High Yield bonds on the Nordic and European market. These were the best performers in Placerum Optimera (Class I) gained 4,4 percent during the year which was in line with the funds return target. Largest contribution came from our corporate bond holdings, which accounted for 85 percent of the portfolio. About 2/3 of the corporate bonds were High Yield bonds on the Nordic and European market. These were the best performers in In 2014 we expect global growth to accelerate and interest rates to be kept at low levels. This should support corporate profit growth and we expect default rates to remain low. Given these market conditions High Yield bonds is set to outperform other fixed income instruments the year to come, even if we expect lower HY returns in SEF - AVIATUM TREND The fund was launched on January 2, The fund s strategy is based on a trend following model which gets its data from technical analysis. The fund uses a quantitative model of management which identifies trends in the financial markets and invests mainly in equity and fixed income markets. The fund can allocate 100 percent in equity as well as 100 percent in fixed income markets depending upon what the model indicate. The funds benchmark is MSCI World (Net TR) 11

14 Report of the Board of Directors (continued) The fund has made some major changes during the year regarding the choice of investments. In order to harmonize the fund s performance better to the model, the fund started to trade with EFTs instead of funds in June and in October the fund started to hedge foreign exchange positions.

The number of days we have been in the market during the year is 144 days out of 260 days. The largest positive return during the period based on a month performance was in October, 3,69 percent. In April the fund had its most negative period of return, -2,38 percent. Since inception, two new members have been added to the administrative council.

15 Report of the Board of Directors (continued) SEF - ASCENSUS BALANSERAD Ascensus Balanserad, a balanced fund with 50/50 in equity versus fixed income exposure under normal market conditions, increased 6.1 % during the year (since inception on April 4, 2013 with first NAV calculation on April 5, 2013).

After the summer the global markets recovered and so Ascensus Balanserad with a few minor declines in the global equity markets and fixed income markets. Our market view has been quite neutral during 2013 why Ascensus Balanserads investments have been quite close to 50/50 in equity versus fixed income exposure. During the year the subfund has increased its investments in active managed mutual funds while the passive investments have decreased. The sub-fund made a substantial re-allocation to an enhanced index global equity mutual fund at the expense of an index global equity mutual fund. The subfund also began to invest in Swedish small-cap equities and Japanese equities as part of its strategic exposure. Ascensus Balanserad decreased its investments in long government and mortgage bonds and re-allocated into investment grade credits.
