As shareholders of Nordea 1, SICAV, you are hereby informed that a new Prospectus of Nordea 1, SICAV will be issued in November 2019 including the following key changes effective as from 13 November 2019 (the “Effective Date”).
The appendix of the prospectus related to “German Investment Fund Tax Act” summarizing the list of the funds that intend to qualify either as “equity funds” or “mixed funds” in accordance with the German Investment Tax Act 2018, is removed. The information whether the funds intend to qualify as “equity funds” or “mixed funds” is now included in each fund description.
In section “Permitted assets, techniques and transactions”, it is added that in the case where a fund is allowed to invest in other funds, that the target fund might have different investment strategies or restrictions than the fund, to the extent that such investments do not result in a circumvention of the investment strategies or restrictions of the fund.
The section “Charges taken from the fund over a year” is reorganized with the removal of “Depositary fee” and “Administration fee”, and insertion and definition of “Operational expenses”. There is no increase in the overall fee amount taken from each fund. The presentation is changed, with two different tables listing all share class types: one table including share classes reserved to institutional investors and one table for all other classes.
The category of emerging markets is added in section “Emerging and frontier markets risk”.
