OP-Brave B

OP-Brave is one of OP's three balanced funds enabling easy investing for savers. Most of its assets are invested in the stock market, while a smaller portion goes to the bond market. This pushes the fund's risk level lower than for an equity fund. Even a small investment amount will result to wide diversification of the investment in a cost-efficient manner. The comprehensive diversification, both geographically as well as into bond and stock markets, make OP-Brave an attractive alternative for those who do not want to actively monitor movements in the capital markets. When putting your money into OP-Brave, you can trust that professional portfolio managers follow constantly the markets and take the necessary measures, letting you focus on other things.

OP-Brave is ideal for those who have both guts and patience. The fund has high expected yield because it has higher equity weighting than the rest of our Saver's funds. This brings about higher exposure to market fluctuations than for funds emphasising fixed income. When investing in OP-Brave, you need to be ready to tolerate moments when the value of your fund units is going down. What you need to understand is that, in long-term investment, the time to cash in your fund units will come at another, more favourable moment. OP-Brave is best suited to a passive investor who intends to redeem his/her units after six years at the earliest. For short-term investing, we recommend funds with a more stable performance.

Read the portfolio manager's review on the fund's Finnish pages.

OP-Brave is a balanced fund investing its assets primarily in the global equity markets and partly in the global fixed-income markets. In the base scenario, the fund invests 80% of its assets in equity markets and 20% in the fixed-income markets. The proportion of equity investments may range between 70–100% and fixed-income investments between 0–30%. The fund's investments are primarily made through other investment funds. The fund may use derivatives instruments in its investment activities to hedge against market fluctuations, to replace direct investments and to otherwise promote efficient portfolio management. Primarily derivatives are used in equity and interest-rate risk management. The Fund diversifies its investments on a broad basis among various companies and bonds, since the investments are mainly implemented using funds.

The Fund promotes environmental and social characteristics and, to ensure it, uses environmental, social and governance (ESG) analysis and excludes certain investments. For more information about the ESG methods used, see the fund prospectus. The “do no significant harm” principle applies only to those investments underlying the fund that take into account the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities. The investments underlying the remaining portion of this fund do not take into account the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities.

The Fund’s benchmark index is a combination of several indexes. The composition of the benchmark index is described in the fund prospectus. With active investing, the Fund seeks to outperform its benchmark index in the long term. The Fund mainly takes
notable active risk and it may differ significantly from the composition, weights and risk level of the benchmark index.
