Six months into Affärsvärlden's portfolio contest between Sweden's university finance clubs, our entry is up 22.2 per cent, more than twice the index and first of the six clubs.
In April, Affärsvärlden set six university finance clubs a contest: a fictional million kronor each, invested at the start of April and held for a year, with one chance to make changes after six months. On 10 October the magazine published the half-time standings.
The six portfolios range from −6.2 to +22.2 per cent. UEAM is first, at more than twice the stock market's general index, which rose 9.9 per cent over the same period.
Most of our gain came from two AI-related holdings. The memory-chip maker Micron Technology has more than tripled in kronor and Nebius Group is up 137 per cent; together they added more than 19 percentage points. The largest drag was the research company Cantargia, down 65 per cent.
Our entry was put together differently from our ordinary portfolio: each member picked one company they expected to do well over a twelve-month horizon, and we take more risk in individual cases than we normally would. As one of our portfolio managers, Beppe Grönmark, told the magazine, that is also why the spread of results within the portfolio is wider than usual. Because the picks were made with the full year in mind, we are keeping every position for the second half.
The contest ends on 2 April 2027. The full article, with all six clubs' holdings, is at Affärsvärlden.
