SEB's House View

SEB Asset Allocation and Research is the team behind SEB House View and who decides on the asset allocation view of SEB Asset Management.

SEB Asset Allocation and Research decides on how much the fund company recommends to allocate to the different asset classes such as for example equities and government bonds. The House View risk utilisation and model portfolio is implemented in the Asset Management multi asset portfolios.

The speedometer controls risk budgets

The speedometer represents the team’s market view and controls to what extent the portfolios should utilise their risk budgets. It is connected to the model portfolio shown in the, House View presentation, which at all times utilises its risk budget in-line with the speedometer. In a very general sense it can be interpreted as equities on or off, with 50% being neutral.

Highlights from the latest SEB House View

The committee decided to keep the risk utilisation at 50%.

Policy uncertainty has eased with the tariff pause.
Markets may overprice broader tariff cuts.
Current risk-reward doesn’t support higher equity allocation.
The House View Committee decided to keep the US underweight unchanged despite considerations to deepen it.
Strong Q1 tech earnings and possible short-term USD bounce expected.
Lower pressure on Fed Chair has reduced Treasury risk premia. Later rate cuts may lower yields, but we are cautious on long duration.
Weaker USD over time will likely weigh on US assets in EUR and SEK.
