Sparinvest and Nykredit's position on Russian investments

As early as February, Sparinvest and Nykredit Invest sold off all Russian government bonds, and we are currently set to sell off our very last investment in a Russian company.

Sparinvest and Nykredit are deeply concerned about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We are monitoring the situation closely to ensure that all our investments are in alignment with current Danish foreign policy interests and EU and US sanction lists.

 

No Russian government bonds in Sparinvest and Nykredit investment funds

Already before the Russian invasion, the situation in Ukraine was critical, and beginning of February, we opted to sell off all Russian government bonds held by Sparinvest and Nykredit Invest.
For some time now, we have also been reluctant to invest in Russian companies.

 

Nearly all investments in Russian companies sold off

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we opted to sell off all investments in Russian companies, including state-owned companies on sanction lists as well as all other Russian companies.
At this point, we have sold off all our investments in companies placed under sanctions by the EU and the United States. We are currently set to sell off our very last investment in a Russian company.

 

What happens next?

Sparinvest and Nykredit are closely following the war in Ukraine, while continually considering measures in support of foreign policy signals coming out of Denmark, the EU and the United States.
We have no impending plans to make new investments in Russian government bonds or companies.

A few days later, UK 30Y government bond yields rose by 1.5pp, and the GBP was down by just over 10% vs the USD

Risk appetite turned to risk aversion in August

In August, investor behaviour was characterised by risk appetite in the first half of the month, while renewed risk aversion dominated in the second half of the month. This development probably reflected a resumed uptrend in short-term U.S. government bond yields following a period of flatter yield trends in July. Towards the end of August, yield rises intensified against a backdrop of messages from both the Federal Reserve and the ECB reiterating the need for monetary tightening to curb inflation.

Inflation fears overshadowed by growth fears in June - risk aversion dominated

The financial markets shifted focus in June. Inflation fears dominated at first, but were overshadowed by growth fears towards the end of the period. This shift was reflected in government bond returns; the Danish 10Y government bond yield rose from 1.5% at the beginning of June to 2.1% on 21 June and then dropped to 1.7% at the end of June.
