The objective of the fund is to invest in shares of Icelandic limited companies and limited companies operating in Iceland which are listed on NASDAQ OMX Nordic Iceland, First North market, or another recognized stock exchange or multilateral trading facility.
The fund aims to offer investors the option of investing in funds which invest in companies which have historically paid a dividend or are likely to pay a dividend within 12 months. It is permitted to invest in shares of companies which have temporarily reduced or ceased paying dividends provided that the fund manager considers it likely that dividends will be approved again within two years. The fund’s investments take into account a number of factors, such as companies’ financial status and their efforts to increase dividends and profitability.

Stefnir hf. operates as an alternative investment fund manager pursuant to Act No. 45/2020 on Alternative Investment Fund Managers, and UCITS pursuant to Act No. 116/2021 on Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS).
Please note that investing in unit shares involves a certain amount of risk. Investments can fall in value or lose all of their value. An alternative investment fund is generally considered to represent a higher risk investment than a UCITS. The greater risk associated with alternative investment funds is a result of its broader investment limits which could result in less risk distribution than in a UCITS.
Funds' investment returns are generally presented as nominal returns. Investment returns on Stefnir's website and promotional material connected to the funds show nominal returns, unless otherwise stated. All returns are calculated in Icelandic krónur
Stefnir hf. has divided its funds into seven different categories depending on the standard deviation in weekly returns over the past 5 years. Category 1 is the least volatile, while category 7 is the most volatile. A fund can be moved into a different category if the volatility of the underlying financial instruments changes. The categorization is based on guidelines issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority. Previous returns on investments in funds are no indication of future returns on investments. Categorizing funds according to the volatility of returns does not reflect all risks involved in the funds' investments. For example, the categorization does not take into account possible defaults by the issuers of financial instruments in which the fund has invested, or other risk factors. The categorization of the funds is subject to the above provisos.
Deposits of funds for collective investment are not insured under Act No. 98/1999 on Deposit Guarantees and Investor Compensation Schemes.
Further information on the fund, including more detailed information on the risk inherent in investing in unit shares, can be found in the fund’s prospectus or KID.
The fund invests in listed Icelandic stocks that regularly pay dividends or are likely to do so. It is suitable for investors who want to invest in the domestic stock market and receive income through annual dividend payments, and are willing to take on moderate risk. The fund is the only one of its kind in Iceland. The recommended minimum investment period is three years.
