They believe that value is maximized by maintaining investments in promising stocks for long periods and their ideal investment horizon is very long.

The products are offered as discretionary mandates or as mutual funds. SEB Denmark invests in a range of instruments including Danish equities, Danish fixed-income, European bonds and European equities.

Danske Bank-IM constructs portfolios invested in equity, debt and alternative instruments across strategies and regions with a strong emphasis on European markets. The firm focuses on core investment areas and selects external managers for investments in regions where they do not possess specialist expertise. They seek to identify global trends within traditional and rapidly growing sectors. Danske Bank-IM’s portfolio investment teams employ a bottom-up approach to select equities based on the belief that markets are especially inefficient at pricing companies undergoing change. Their investment process begins with a systematic qualitative and quantitative screening process designed to identify and evaluate companies experiencing or about to experience changes. They then apply their proprietary valuation model, DCF, which is based on fundamental analysis.
