SEB Fund 2 is an open-ended common fund ("FCP" - "Fonds Commun de Placement") governed by Part I of the Luxembourg

Law on Undertakings for Collective Investment of 17 December 2010, as amended, (the “Law”). The Fund qualifies as an Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS). The Fund was set up on 21 April 1986 for an undetermined duration. The Management Regulations lastly modified with effect from 20 September 2017, have been

published in the Recueil Electronique des Sociétés et Associations (RESA) on 2 November 2017. The Fund is registered in

Luxembourg at the Luxembourg Register of Commerce under the number K 50. The Management Company was established on 19 May 1978 in the form of a Swedish limited liability company (AB). The Management Company is authorised by

Finansinspektionen for the management of UCITS and for the discretionary management of financial instruments and

Management Report

7

Dear Unitholders, With this report, we want to give you an overview of the general economic environment, the development of the most

important capital markets of our Fund SEB Fund 2.

We would like to thank you for your confidence and will do everything within our power to justify your decision of investing in

our Fund. Recovery at last

Looking back at the past ten years, the perhaps most interesting tendency has been how the market’s expectations for future growth has consistently been too optimistic. Every year has started with high expectations which then are revised lower as

either a political crisis or a pre-mature - in hindsight - tightening of monetary policy has negatively affected growth. It is in this

context that 2017 stands out. For the first time since the financial crisis we have seen a strong and broad-based recovery in

growth. We regard it as broad-based in the sense that all sectors and all regions showed gains in unison. It is strong in the

sense that a range of major leading indicators ended higher than in decades. The economy’s strength did not go un-noticed in the financial markets. As investors embraced the idea that growth was finally gaining speed, and the likelihood for another disappointment fell, equities began to rally. So much in fact, that

valuations started to reach levels which in recent history have only been surpassed during the IT bubble of the late 90s.

At the time of writing, this is one of the few potential negatives for 2018. The fact that the equity markets have already

discounted much of the good macroeconomic news means we expect to see somewhat lower equity returns than 2017.

Furthermore, we also expect volatility to start rising as central banks continue to tighten monetary policy. In the following paragraphs we describe the developments and our outlook for the financial markets, global growth and

monetary policy. Financial markets As stated, 2017 was a strong year for risky assets in general and equities in particular. Global equities, measured in local

currency, rose by nearly 20%, driven in large part by a strong recovery in earnings. Despite the improving growth outlook, inflation expectations and longer dated yields ended up largely where they started at

the beginning of 2017. This disconnect was caused by a string of surprisingly weak inflation numbers coming out of the US

throughout 2017. As the labour market continued to tighten, however, the US Federal Reserve continued to hike rates in

2017 which ensured that the US yield curve flattened significantly. This development contrasted the strong growth outlook

as a flattening, inverted, yield curve traditionally is seen as a sign of an imminent recession. In a broader asset allocation context, the most interesting feature of 2017 was the low levels of volatility. The US S&P 500

implied equity volatility Index (VIX) ended up averaging the lowest levels since the inception of the index and the S&P 500 had only eight days when the index either fell or rose by more than 1%. We have to go all the way back to 1965 to find a year

which replicates this pattern. Global growth During the summer of 2017, global growth started to accelerate significantly. All major PMIs (Purchasing Manager Index)

and consumer confidence indicators started to rise in unison for the first time since the financial crisis. Not only was the

strength concerted in the sense that all major leading indicators started to rise, it was also very strong. For example, US

consumer confidence rose to the highest levels since 2001 and IFO, the leading indicator for Germany, posted its highest

levels on record.

Given the strength in the economy over the second half of 2017, we are at a point where growth seems finally to have

consolidated. The likelihood of a slowdown in growth has fallen significantly and if leading indicators are to be trusted the

momentum seems set to continue going into 2018. Finally, it is also worth noting that global trade has once more started to rise. The growth rate in trade for large global

exporters such as South Korea has left the single digit range which has dominated since 2011. This development will be

especially beneficial for the Emerging Market space in particular. Monetary policy As growth strengthened in 2017, global central banks continued to tighten monetary policy. In contrast to the last five years

this tightening fortunately did not have a negative impact on financial markets. The US Federal Reserve hiked rates three times in 2017. This was in line with their projection, but more than what the market

was pricing. This decision to hike was largely motivated by the strong labour market, which is projected to result in higher

wage inflation, and a view that the low inflation readings of 2017 were caused by temporary factors. At the time of writing,

early 2018, there has been no material change in the Fed’s outlook and it is aiming for three hikes over the next 12 months.

The ECB announced it will continue to withdraw support through its purchases of bonds. There was some anxiety that this

announcement would have a negative effect on the broader financial markets, but this didn’t happen and the strong growth theme dominated. The development regarding the ECB announcement illustrated that central banks in general had less

impact on financial markets in 2017 than they have had in the last couple of years.

Outlook for financial markets & economic growth As of writing, we find it hard not to be constructive on the outlook for the global economy. We expect that all the positive

leading indicators (questionnaires for firms and consumers) will translate into even higher growth rates for consumption and

production in the coming months. In line with the growing economy, we expect central banks to continue to tighten monetary policy. As the US economy is

farthest ahead in the economic cycle, we expect this tightening to be driven by the Fed. We expect the ECB to follow the

announced plan of reducing their bond purchases. In terms of the financial markets, the outlook is more uncertain. As stated, much of the good news from 2017 has already

been discounted and, as such, valuations are at levels from which we do not expect to see further multiple expansion. With

that said, we believe the growth environment will remain conducive to earnings growth. We expect equities to deliver a

higher return than all major fixed income alternatives; albeit lower than 2017.

Notes to the Financial Statements

As at 31 December 2017

31

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Luxembourg regulations relating to Undertakings for

Collective Investment.

The Financial Statements have been prepared based on last Net Asset Value of the year which has been calculated on 28

December 2017 for Sub-Fund SEB Fund 2 - SEB Russia Fund and on 29 December 2017 for Sub-Funds SEB Fund 2 - SEB Asia

ex. Japan Fund, SEB Fund 2 - SEB Generation Fund 80 and SEB Fund 2 - SEB Nordic Focus Fund with the prices as of that

date; the valuations at 28 and 29 December 2017 have been presented for the purpose of these Financial Statements.

Investments:

a) Transferable securities and money market instruments, which are officially listed on a stock exchange, are valued at the last available price. b) Transferable securities and money market instruments, which are not officially listed on a stock exchange, but which are

traded on another regulated market are valued at a price no lower than the bid price and no higher than the ask price at the

time of the valuation and at which the Management Company considers to be an appropriate market price. c) Transferable securities and money market instruments quoted or traded on several markets are valued on the basis of the

last available price on the principal market for the transferable securities or money market instruments in question, unless

these prices are not representative. d) In the event that such prices are not in line with market conditions, or for securities and money market instruments other

than those covered in a), b) and c) above for which there are no fixed prices, these securities and money market instruments,

as well as other assets, will be valued at the current market value as determined in good faith by the Management Company, following generally accepted valuation principles. e) Units or shares of UCI(TS) are valued at the last available Net Asset Value obtained from the Administrative Agent of such

UCI(TS) except for Exchange Traded Funds which are valued at the latest available price found on the main stock exchange

on which they are listed.

f) Derivatives instruments traded on regulated markets or stock exchanges are valued at last available settlement prices of

these contracts on regulated markets or stock exchanges on which the derivative instruments are traded by the Fund.

Derivatives instruments not traded on regulated markets or on stock exchanges are valued at their net liquidating value

determined, pursuant to the policies established in good faith by the Management Company on a basis consistently applied for each different variety of contracts, in accordance with generally recognised principles, taking into consideration the

generally accepted accounting practices, the customary practices in line with the market and the interests of the Unitholders. g) Financial Futures Contracts, which are not matured, are valued at valuation date at market rates prevailing at this date and resulting unrealised appreciation or depreciation are posted as change in net unrealised appreciation/(depreciation) on

financial future contracts to the Combined Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

In the case that extraordinary circumstances occur which make it impossible or even wrong to make a valuation in

accordance with the above-mentioned criteria, the Management Company is entitled to temporarily apply other generally accepted valuation procedures, which are determined by it in good faith, in order to make an appropriate valuation of the

Fund's Assets.

Gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the average cost method.

Swing pricing:

The Investment Manager needs to perform transactions in order to uphold the desired asset allocation as a result of the flows in and out of the Sub-Funds. While performing these transactions brokerage and transaction costs will occur. Acting in

the Unitholders' interest, the Net Asset Value will be adjusted upwards in case of large inflows and downwards in case of

large outflows if on any Valuation Day the aggregate inflows and outflows in all Classes of a Sub-Fund result in a net increase

or decrease of units which exceeds a threshold set by the Board of Directors of the Management Company from time to time (relating to the cost of market dealing for the Sub-Fund), the Net Asset Value per unit of the relevant Sub-Fund will be

adjusted to reflect both the estimated fiscal charges and dealing costs (brokerage and transaction costs) that may be incurred by the Sub-Fund and the estimated bid/offer spread of the assets in which the respective Sub-Fund invests following

the net inflows/outflows of the Sub-Fund. The adjustment will be an addition when the net movement results in a net

inflows of the Sub-Fund and a deduction when it results in a net outflows. Adjustments made during the year are recorded in

“Proceeds on issues of units” and “Payment on redemptions of units” in the Combined Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

No swing pricing adjustment has been applied to the year end Net Asset Value per unit calculated on 28 December 2017 and

29 December 2017.

Currency translation:

All assets denominated in a different currency to the respective Sub-Funds' currency are converted into this respective Sub-

Funds' currency at the last available exchange rate. Separate accounts are maintained for the Sub-Fund in the currency in which the Net Asset Value per unit to which it relates is

expressed (the "accounting currency"). Transactions denominated in a currency other than the accounting currency are recorded on the basis of exchange rates

prevailing on the date they occur or accrue to the Sub-Fund. Assets and liabilities, expressed in a currency other than the accounting currency, are translated on the basis of exchange

The Management Company pays accounting, administration and depositary fees on behalf of the Fund.

Note 3. Performance Fees

In addition to the management fees, the Management Company is entitled to performance fees in the applicable unit class of

the SEB Fund 2 - SEB Nordic Focus Fund. The performance fee is calculated, accrued and crystallised on a daily basis and

paid out of the assets of the applicable unit class of the Sub-Fund at the end of each month. The calculation of the

performance fees takes place on the basis of the units of the respective unit class in circulation at the respective Valuation

Day.

The performance fees per unit of the applicable unit class of the Sub-Fund equals 20% of the appreciation of the Net Asset

Value per unit of the applicable unit class of the Sub-Fund over the benchmark, which is the VINX Top 100, pre performance

fees, but post the management fees and other types of fees, above the current Hurdle Value of the applicable unit class of

the Sub-Fund.

Note 5. Taxation

The Fund is liable in Luxembourg to a subscription tax ("taxe d'abonnement") of 0.05% or 0.01% (as applicable) per annum

of its NAV, such tax being payable quarterly on the basis of the value of the aggregate Net Assets of the Sub-Funds at the end of the relevant calendar quarter. Investments by a Sub-Fund in shares or units of another Luxembourg undertaking for

collective investment which are also subject to the taxe d’abonnement are excluded from the NAV of the Sub-Fund serving as basis for the calculation of this tax to be paid by the Sub-Fund. No stamp duty or other tax is payable in Luxembourg on the issue of units. Interest, dividend and other income realised by a Sub-Fund on the sale of securities of non-Luxembourg issuers, may be

subject to withholding and other taxes levied by the jurisdictions in which the income is sourced. Indian Tax

Each sub-fund may be subject to corporation taxes in certain countries in which it invests. Capital gains realised when

disposing of certain Indian securities held by a sub-fund are subject to capital gains tax in India, which, if any, is disclosed in

the Combined Statement of Operations under the heading "Other expenses". The tax is computed on net realised gains, and

realised losses in excess of gains may under certain conditions be carried forward 8 years to offset future gains. Indian tax

law imposes a tax of 15% on net realised gains from Indian securities sold within one year from the date of purchase. Given

the Company's intent to hold portfolio securities for more than one year, the Company does not accrue a deferred tax liability

on net unrealised gains on Indian securities.

In case the Company incurred a total realised loss on security sales as at fiscal year-end, the Company could recover the

taxable amount paid during the year on net realised gains, provided that a claim to the Tax Administration is introduced

within 2 years as from end of the financial years.

Note 6. Transaction Fees

Transaction fees incurred by the Fund relating to the purchase or sale of transferable securities, money market instruments, derivatives or other eligible assets are mainly composed of depositary fees and broker fees. Most of the transaction fees are included in the transaction price used to calculate the realised and unrealised gain/(loss) on securities.

As at 31 December 2017, the transaction fees were as follows:

SEB Fund 2 - SEB Asia ex. Japan Fund 488,590.16 USD SEB Fund 2 - SEB Generation Fund 80 26,481.20 SEK SEB Fund 2 - SEB Nordic Focus Fund 9,171.76 EUR

Responsibilities of the "Reviseur d’entreprises agree" for the audit of the financial statements

The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Law of 23 July2016 and with |SAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 and with |SAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF, weexercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.

We also:

0 identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designand perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control;

0 obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal control;

0 evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by the Board of Directors of the Management Company;

0 conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors of the Management Company's use of the going concern basisof accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Fund's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our audit report to the related disclosures in the financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Fund to cease to continueas a going concern;

0 evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Risk Disclosure (unaudited)

38

In the context of risk measurement and in accordance with CSSF Circular 11/512 a UCITS must calculate its global exposure

on at least a daily basis.

For SEB Fund 2, the global exposure is calculated and monitored daily by using the calculation methodology Value at Risk (VaR) or the commitment methodology. The VaR model used is parametric VaR. The observation period is at least 250 days. The VaR methodology provides an estimate of the maximum potential loss over a specific time period and at a given

confidence level, i.e. probability level. Usually for UCITS, the time period is 1 month/20 business days and the confidence

level is 99%.

For example, a VaR estimate of 3% on a 20-days’ time period with a 99% confidence level means that, with 99% certainty,

the percentage the Fund can expect to lose over the next 20 days’ period should be a maximum of 3%.

In case of the VaR methodology, the Fund can use either the “relative” or the “absolute” VaR approach.

According to CSSF Circular 11/512, the absolute VaR approach must not be greater than 20% based on a 99% confidence

level and a holding period of 1 month/20 business days. In the case of the relative VaR approach, the VaR of the Fund must not be greater than twice the VaR of its reference portfolio. Nevertheless, lower limitations than those ones set by the

regulator can be set in accordance with the investment policy/strategy of the Fund. In addition to the VaR, the level of leverage generated through the use of derivatives and the use of collateral in relation to

efficient portfolio management transactions (i.e. securities lending or repurchase agreements) is monitored twice a month.

Leverage is measured as the sum of the absolute notional exposures of the financial derivative instruments (i.e. the absolute

sum of all long and short notional positions in derivatives compared to the Net Asset Value of the Fund) and the reinvestment

of collateral related to securities lending or repurchase agreement used by the Fund.

The Investment Manager calculates the leverage on a gross or on a commitment method. The gross method converts all

positions on derivative financial instruments into equivalent positions in the underlying assets, while the commitment method

applies the same while allowing netting and hedging arrangements.

The table overleaf summarises the Fund indicating the VaR or commitment approach, the reference portfolio (in the case of

relative VaR), the lowest/highest and average utilisation of VaR (expressed as a percentage of the respective absolute or

relative legal VaR limit) as well as the average level of leverage for the year ended 31 December 2017 Or in other cases, the minimum, maximum and average leverage within the commitment method:

Remuneration Disclosure (unaudited)

40

SEB Investment Management AB (the Management Company) wishes to encourage and incite good performance and sound

behaviour, as well as to endeavour to achieve balanced risk-taking that is aligned with the interests of fund unitholders.

The Management Company has a long-term vision regarding the employment conditions of its staff. Total remuneration shall

contribute to developing the Management Company's competitiveness and profitability through the Company being able to

attract, retain, motivate and reward competent and skilful employees. In order to achieve this objective, the Management

Company's board of directors has adopted a remuneration policy based on Swedish and international regulations. The purpose of

the remuneration policy is to ensure that the Management Company has a remuneration system that is adapted to the fund

unitholders' long-term interests and the Management Company's strategy and values.

The remuneration policy is based on the remuneration model that is applied at Group level, and is built on SEB's values. The

Management Company's remuneration policy is reviewed at least annually. The Management Company's current remuneration

policy is based on a risk analysis that has been prepared by the Management Company's risk control department.

The Management Company’s remuneration structure is based on three components:

• Fixed remuneration (basic salary)

• Variable remuneration

• Pensions and other benefits

The remuneration components are used to achieve a competitive individual level of remuneration with an appropriate balance

between fixed and variable remuneration.

The fixed remuneration component is individually adapted further to predetermined internal and external appraisals. The level of

the fixed remuneration is based on the employee's experience, long-term performance and behaviour.

All employees at the Management Company are embraced by SEB's collective profit sharing model that has a predetermined

maximum outcome. The remuneration is established based on SEB's earnings and customer satisfaction.

Remuneration to employees in control departments (internal audit, risk control, and observance of regulations) is established by

the board of directors further to proposals from the Management Company's remuneration committee. Remuneration shall be

based on objective grounds related to the employee's role and tasks, and be independent of the business unit that the control

department scrutinises.

Employees in departments that have a monitoring function, such as internal auditing, risk control or compliance, are not to

receive any other variable remuneration over and above SEB's profit sharing.

The Management Company applies the grandfather principle to all remuneration, which means all decisions are to be approved

by, at the least, the manager for the manager of the employee concerned.

Variable remuneration

The Management Company uses variable remuneration in order to develop and reward performance and behaviour that create

both short-term and long-term value for the fund unitholders and the Management Company. Variable remuneration is an

important aspect of designing a flexible remuneration system. Variable remuneration is composed of both cash and units/shares

in investment funds or financial instruments which achieve the equivalent common interests as units/shares in the relevant

investment funds.

The principles for variable remuneration adopted by the Management Company are established with the objective of reflecting

the Management Company's low risk tolerance and being compatible with the Fund's prevailing risk profiles, fund rules,

discretionary mandates, as well as internal and external regulations. The variable remuneration shall be based on the employee's

performance and behaviour from a several-year perspective, as well as the performance and economic results of the employee's

team, the Management Company and SEB as a whole.

At the same time as obtaining a sound balance between fixed and variable remuneration, the payment of variable remuneration

shall be related to the Management Company's risk policy and creation of value for the fund unitholders. This implies that certain

maximum levels and deferment of payment shall apply to different personnel categories.

Page 43: SEB Fund 2 Draft final updated · Organisation 3 Management Company: SEB Investment Management AB Stjärntorget 4 SE-169 79 Solna, Sweden Board of Directors of the Management Company:

41

For employees in positions that have a significant influence on the Management Company's or the managed funds’ risk profile,

the maximum variable remuneration may not exceed 100 percent of the fixed remuneration. The variable remuneration is to be

deferred by 40 to 60 percent for a minimum of three years. At least 50 percent of the variable remuneration is to consist of

units/shares in investment funds or instruments which achieve the same common interests as units/shares in the relevant

securities funds. Variable remuneration in the form of fund units/shares will be subject to retention policy for at least one year.

This retention policy applies to variable compensation whether or not it is deferred.

The Management Company also applies a special remuneration model for certain employees who manage funds and

discretionary mandates. The remuneration model for these persons is based on a structure with distinct rules for maximum

outcome of remuneration, deferment of remuneration as well as rules regarding downward adjustment/reduction of

remuneration.

Payment of deferred remuneration shall only be made if such is motivated based on the Management Company's economic

situation and the performance of the Management Company, the relevant division and the employee.

Reduction or downward adjustment of deferred variable remuneration shall apply should losses, increased risks and costs arise

during the deferment period, which includes for example taking into consideration the employee's observance of external and

internal regulations. Reduction or downward adjustment shall also take place should payment be deemed unwarrantable in view

of the Management Company's financial situation.

The variable remuneration system shall be continuously reviewed in order to ensure that it does not create any unsuitable

behaviour and contribute to excessive risk-taking.

The remuneration committee

The Management Company has appointed a remuneration committee with the task of independently appraising the

remuneration policy. The remuneration committee shall be responsible for preparing decisions regarding remuneration that are

to be adopted by the board of directors, and intervene if a decision could imply consequences for the Management Company's

risks and risk management. The remuneration committee is an independent body composed of the board of directors'

independent members.

Follow up

The CEO, the deputy CEO and the board of directors shall ensure that the remuneration policy is operationally applied. The

remuneration policy shall be reviewed annually by the internal audit department or by an independent auditing firm. In order to

ensure that the Management Company's remuneration system is applied in accordance with the remuneration policy, the

remuneration system and the payment of remuneration shall be reviewed annually by internal or external auditors.
