  • 31.12.2017: • Avkastningen På Solidiums
    MEDDELANDE 1 ( 7 ) 12.2.2018 kl.10:00 Solidium Oy:s halvårsöversikt 1.7.–31.12.2017: • Avkastningen på Solidiums aktieinnehav var 4,0 procent under rapportperioden och 12,9 procent under kalenderåret 2017 • Solidiums substansvärde minskade med 39 miljoner euro under halvårsperioden pga. vinstutdelningen på 307 miljoner euro och var 7 656 miljoner euro i slutet av översikts- perioden • Solidiums ordinarie bolagsstämma beslutade om en vinstutdelning på 307 miljoner euro och Timo Ahopelto valdes som ny medlem till styrelsen för bolaget • I enlighet med den nya strategin har Solidiums verkställande direktör Antti Mäkinen blivit nominerad till styrelserna för Metso Abp, Sampo Abp och Stora Enso Abp Antti Mäkinen, verkställande direktör för Solidium, kommenterar översiktsperioden så här: ”Uppgången på aktiemarknaden mattades av något under andra halvåret 2017, vilket på- verkade även Solidiums innehavsbolag. Oavsett detta ökade aktieinnehavens värde från 8,2 miljarder till 8,5 miljarder euro under översiktsperioden. Glädjande var den fortsatt goda kursutvecklingen i Outotec, Stora Enso och SSAB under översiktsperioden. Under översiktsperioden slutförde Solidium arbetet med strategiuppdateringen där den främsta förändringen hänger samman med en aktivare ägarroll. Effekterna av denna strate- giuppdatering på händelserna efter utgången av översiktsperioden blir synliga i bland annat det att jag kandiderar till styrelserna för våra innehavsbolag. Jag har blivit nominerad till styrelserna för Metso, Sampo och Stora Enso i vårens bolagsstämmor. Ett av våra strategiska mål är att Solidium på längre sikt har en representant i styrelserna för varje innehavsbolag. Som en del av förnyelsen av aktieportföljen har vi under de två senaste veckorna sålt aktier i SSAB, vilket motsvarar cirka 3,6 procent av de emitterade aktierna och ett försäljningsbe- lopp på 151 miljoner euro.

The debt-to-GDP ratio has also grown substantially. The government’s implicit liabilities have been growing at an even faster rate than the debt figure. Whereas in 2008 government guarantees amounted to about EUR 22 billion, the year-end 2017 figure was as much as EUR 52 billion. Central government finances are concerned not only with explicit and implicit liabilities but also ‘hidden’ liabilities, the most significant of which are connected with the banking sector and local government.

Modern portfolio theory is a mathematical framework which describes how a rational investor can use diversifica- tion to optimize a portfolio, which suggests using variance to measure financial risk. However, since variance is a symmetrical metric, the framework fails to correctly account for the loss aversion preferences most investors exhibit. Therefore, the use of downside risk measures were proposed, which only measures the variance of the portfolio below a certain threshold, usually set to zero or the risk-free rate. This thesis empirically investigates the differences in performance between the two risk measures when used to solve a real world portfolio optimization problem.
