Beat the benchmark, limit your active risk
Nordea’s BetaPlus,
alpha potential with limited tracking error 1
Investing in index funds or passive ETFs might seem like a straightforward choice, offering basic market exposure at a low cost. However, by going fully passive, you might be leaving significant returns on the table. Why settle for average when you could access the potential for attractive and consistent excess returns?
Nordea’s BetaPlus Solutions provide an opportunity to enhance your core investments, offering the best of both worlds—delivering the potential for higher returns with very limited active risk. Don’t miss out on the chance to elevate your portfolio.1
Nordea’s BetaPlus range offers both standard solutions and responsible options across global and regional equity markets.
