Our portfolio manager and partner, Marcus Grimfors, contributes his perspectives in NordSIP’s latest quarterly report on Article 9 funds. The report for the third quarter of 2024 highlights key trends and results within responsible investments, where Grimfors provides an analysis of market developments and the fund’s strategic positioning in a dynamic investment environment.

The report emphasizes the ongoing market rotation, where interest is shifting from large-cap companies to smaller and more value-oriented sectors. Grimfors notes that the third quarter was characterized by increased diversification in the market, even though concentration in certain sectors and companies remains significant. He highlights that this development could open up new opportunities in areas that have historically received less attention.

During the quarter, the CB Save Earth Fund delivered strong results, with the water and cleantech sectors being prominent contributors. Companies such as Belimo, Badger Meter, and Tetra Tech positively impacted the fund’s performance. The fund’s investment strategy focuses on responsible companies with structural growth and long-term value creation, which is reflected in its achievements.

In the report, Grimfors underlines the importance of navigating a changing market environment and identifying sectors and companies with the potential to benefit from long-term trends. He also expresses the expectation that reduced market concentration could lead to more balanced growth and greater investment opportunities in the future.
