SEB Asset Management adds to Multi Asset fund family

With immediate effect, SEB deluxe – Multi Asset Defensive (LU0122753667) will pursue a multi asset total return (MATR) approach, supplementing the MATR fund family that is managed extremely successfully using this strategy. The names of the three mutual funds will in future clearly reflect the investment concept and their individual risk strategies. Opportunity-oriented SEB deLuxe – Multi Asset Balance (LU0122754046) and the more conservative SEB deLuxe – Multi Asset Defensive plus (LU0135018314) have already been managed in accordance with the specially developed MATR model since the beginning of September 2008. Since the implementation of the investment concept, the funds have generated a performance of 20.0% and 9.9% respectively in the period from 5 September 2008 to 19 March 2010, thus proving that they can also cope with difficult market phases.

The investment strategy's strength is its dynamic allocation of various asset classes combined with systematic loss limitation. It focuses on achieving positive returns over moving twelve-month periods. Investment decisions are made on the basis of a quantitative assessment and trading model that measures long-term expected returns while taking into account short-term market risks and correlations between various investment categories. The top performers out of more than 100 different asset classes – such as currencies, countries, sectors, commodities and maturity structures – are established weekly and the portfolios adapted to the market changes. Particular attention is paid to the Fund's total risk. Depending on the Fund's risk profile, equities – which are not bound by benchmark requirements – can make up between 0 and 100%.
