In 2019 interest rates on deposits remained negative and investors with low appetite for risk continued to face the “permanent” problem of finding investments with positive yields. In this environment, two of our structured funds came to the rescue as they provided impressive equity-like returns and at the same time protected the initial capital of their investors from the volatile market conditions we experienced in the last two years. More specifically in the fourth quarter of 2019:

• A structured Fund denominated in SEK and one in EUR were autocalled giving 12% and 10% return respectively!
• A new structured Fund denominated in SEK, aiming for a gross return of 6.75% per year, was launched and was fully subscribed!

Going into 2020, we are aiming to launch more structured funds denominated in both EUR and SEK.
