Euro Stars 2023 1
Arctic Asset Management's Fixed Income team with top ranking in Euro Stars 2023

Methodology for Euro Stars ranking:

The Euro Stars guide is based on a fund manager’s track record over the last three years. This performance is calculated using total returns, priced at bid to bid, with income reinvested at the ex-dividend date. The managers are then ranked using the Citywire Manager Ratio, which is a modified version of the Information Ratio that factors in all the eligible funds across all asset classes and sectors an individual runs over that time period.

The data used covers the three years to 28 February 2023.

In order to be eligible, a manager must have been active for a minimum of three years within the prescribed timeframe and be active at the end of that period. The manager must also be currently active in managing funds registered for sale in at least three of the following countries: UK, Ireland, Luxembourg, Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, Liechtenstein and Malta.

Once the eligibility criteria above are met, the top 250 managers ranked by Manager Ratio are awarded a Euro Stars rating.

This elite group are then arranged by the sectors in which they run funds, in order of their respective Manager Ratio, which is measured across all Euro Stars funds managed (find the full tables at the back). Each manager profile includes the total assets under management across all funds they run in that respective sector.

    Markedskommentar November 2023

    Lange statsrenter falt kraftig i november; en reversering fra sterk oppgang i september og oktober. Dette ga en rotasjon i det norske og nordiske aksjemarkedet mot mer rentesensitive selskaper og sektorer, som eiendom, syklisk konsum, vekstselskaper og kvalitetsselskaper med høyere prisingsmultipler enn markedet.

    Markedskommentar Oktober 2023

    Geopolitisk uro i Midtøsten preget nyhetsbildet i oktober, men markedsutviklingen kan antakelig forklares vel så mye av økte langrenter i USA, der aksjer og eiendom stadig får en høyere alternativavkastning å måle seg mot. Det nordiske aksjemarkedet steg marginalt (i NOK) under måneden mens Oslo Børs fondsindeks, S&P 500 (i USD) og verdensindeksen falt tilbake.

    Multibillion dollar deal for antibody-drug conjugates

    Late October 19, the Japanese pharmaceutical company Daiichi Sankyo and US based Merck, both holdings in Arctic Aurora LifeScience, announced a licensing and co-development agreement for three of Daiichi’s drug candidates. The transactional details reveal one of the most value-rich collaboration agreements in the industry’s history. Daiichi will receive a USD 4bn upfront cash payment from Merck and potentially an additional USD 1.5 billion in the next 12-24 months pending development progression of two the drugs. In addition, each drug comes with USD 5.5bn commercial milestones or potentially USD 16.5 billion in aggregate. Except for Merck taking a lion share of initial R&D costs, the companies will then split global expenses and profits equally between them apart from Japan where Daiichi retains all rights.

    Markedskommentar september 2023

    Historisk er september svakeste måned i aksjemarkedet, og denne måneden var intet unntak. Nordiske VINX benchmark falt med -1,7 % (målt i NOK), MSCI World falt med -4,4 %, og amerikanske S&P 500 falt med -4,9 %. Hovedindeksen på Oslo Børs steg med +2,8 % og nådde ny ‘all-time high’, løftet av aksjer innen olje og energi. Blant sektorene i Norden var energi og kommunikasjonstjenester inkludert telekom på topp, mens kraftforsyning og eiendom kom på bunn. I USA var tema i markedet bl.a. renteoppgang, streik ved bilfabrikkene, og budsjettforhandlinger.
