What is a balanced fund?

A balanced fund is, as the name implies, a combination of an equity fund and a fixed-income fund. The ratio of shares to fixed-income securities will vary between the different balanced funds and can also vary over time in the same balanced fund.

Return and risk in a balanced fund will depend on the allocation of fixed-income securities and shares in the fund’s portfolio. The larger the proportion of equities in the portfolio, the higher the expected return – and risk. A balanced fund is suitable for people who don’t want the large valuation fluctuations you can get in an equity fund.

With a balanced fund, the manager does the work for you. You choose how much risk you want to take, and our managers make sure that the allocation of shares and fixed-income securities is the way you want it throughout the savings period. If you cannot tolerate the return becoming negative at times, a balanced fund is not for you.

Aktiv-fondene (Active funds)

Aktiv-fondene (Active funds) are a savings solution for most people and are best suited to those who want to save for a long period of time. The number in the name indicates the proportion of equities in the fund. The higher the proportion of equities, the higher the risk and thereby also the better your chances of achieving higher expected returns over time.
