>> Hello Kaj,
>>
>> Regarding your comment on “bigger investment portfolios yield better
>> returns”, you are indeed correct. Oversight on my part reviewing the
>> executive board minutes.
>>
>> As presented in the EB meeting:
>>
>> Larger investment portfolios can increase opportunities for a better
>> return and a reduction of risk based on:
>>
>> Lower cost level
>> Larger investment portfolios benefit from cost advantages as it reduces
>> the impact of fixed costs and opens the opportunities for lower fund
>> fees, improving overall net returns
>>
>> Increased possibilities for diversification
>> Reduction of portfolio risk by increased diversification opportunities
>> using multiple investment funds with different sources of risk, lowering
>> the overall risk level of the investment portfolio
>>
>> Overall bigger investment portfolios do not directly increase the yield,
>> however with a larger portfolio, more possibilities are available, which
>> in turn could have a positive impact on the return.
>>
>> Thanks and kind regards,
>>
