There are over 50,000 publicly listed companies in the world. International stock markets offer a staggering number of opportunities, but picking companies with long-term return potential from a sea of possibilities can be a challenging task. This is where the OP-World investment fund comes in. It invests globally in companies that offer good return potential, and it is a fitting choice for investors who accept the inherent value fluctuations of international stock markets.
The fund is actively managed and invests in a total of 200 to 300 stocks in both emerging and developed markets. Each stock must pass a careful screening by OP Asset Management that aims to ensure the company has enough growth potential and meets our sustainability criteria. As a unitholder, you benefit from OP Asset Management's expertise and extensive data resources. Our experienced portfolio management team responds to changes in global stock markets and makes all the investment decisions for you.
The fund seeks long-term returns, which requires identifying market risks and directing the fund's assets to companies that have future growth potential. To manage risk, companies deemed harmful to the environment or society, for example producers of thermal coal or controversial weapons, are excluded from the fund. We also regularly screen investments to ensure compliance with good governance, such as alignment with international tax practices and human rights norms.
