好的,以下是上述视频内容摘要的中文翻译,力求精简: 该基金年度表现强劲,回报率达13%,创绝对增值记录。资金流入虽低于前两年,仍超过4000亿克朗,为历史第三高。受流入、正回报及汇率变化影响,基金市值增长近40000亿克朗,为历史最大涨幅。尽管增长显著,但报告提示该业绩水平不可持续,并在网站提供压力测试,模拟各种情景下可能出现的大幅价值下跌。 基金收益主要来自现金回报,包括股票股息、债券利息及房地产租金,总计近4000亿克朗。然而,绝对收益虽亮眼,相对收益却逊于基准指数45个基点,为百分比计算的第三差年份。原因包括房地产持有价值相对平缓(与股市涨幅相比)及股票配置不足,特别是对美国大型科技公司的配置不足。尽管近期表现不佳,自成立以来,基金的超额回报仍为每年25个基点。 基金投资多元化,涵盖股票、固定收益、房地产和可再生能源基础设施四大类资产。股票表现显著优于其他资产类别,回报率达18%,是基金整体成功的关键驱动力。 股票投资组合深入分析显示,美国市场表现优于欧洲市场,这已是过去十年的趋势。差异原因在于地区行业结构的不同,科技(尤其是人工智能相关股票)推动了显著增长,英伟达是最大单一赢家。报告指出,顶级科技公司规模不断扩大,存在集中风险,其在最大科技公司的投资超过了在主要欧洲经济体和印度的总投资。上市公司数量减少,私有公司数量大幅增加。 一位投资组合经理强调,人工智能一直是科技行业表现的主要驱动力,回报差异显著。英伟达因人工智能芯片需求旺盛而实现了惊人的盈利增长。人工智能也提振了Meta和谷歌等大型科技公司的收益,推动了他们的广告收入。他告诫说,这些公司能否持续成功将取决于它们创新和创造客户愿意为其付费的新产品和服务的能力。他强调了物理世界中的人工智能,例如旧金山和洛杉矶的无人驾驶出租车,未来可能更广泛地推广,因此对包括特斯拉、谷歌和亚马逊在内的公司来说是一个巨大的机会。 外部管理人管理着基金约5%的资产,并持续创造超额回报。他们的本地专业知识、深入的公司分析和实地调研能力是成功的关键。印度市场是本地管理人表现出色的典范,他们专注于大型优质公司,并在各种经济和政治挑战中展现了韧性。 固定收益投资回报率为1%,运行收益率为4%。美国10年期国债利率波动较大。利率上升影响了回报。报告讨论了通货膨胀和政府支出,导致10年期美国国债收益率在年底保持较高水平。 未上市房地产投资回报率略为负值,而上市房地产表现良好。美国房地产投资主管指出,2024年是一个转折点,在经历了充满挑战的两年后,出现了企稳迹象。虽然居家办公趋势继续影响写字楼,但黄金地段的最佳建筑表现更好。物流地产仍然强劲。基金正谨慎地重新投资于房地产,专注于以较低价格购买高质量的房产,包括增加在波士顿、旧金山和华盛顿特区写字楼的所有权。 可再生能源基础设施投资回报率为负10%。不利因素包括利率上升的环境、行业未能达到早已很高的预期,以及客户更加关注基本负荷供应的安全性。报告指出,这一降幅主要归因于估值方法。 报告最后重申了关键点,包括13%的回报率、相对于大盘的跑输,以及年底的基金价值。报告强调了他们对透明度的承诺,宣布发布持仓清单以及三年战略更新。年底基金价值接近20万亿。他们还推广了一项即将举行的活动,重点是识别伟大公司的特征。

Okay, here's a summary of the video transcript, aiming for the requested word count: The fund experienced a very strong year, achieving a return of 13%, which translated to the largest absolute increase in value on record. Inflows, while not as high as in the previous two years, still reached over 400 billion crores, the third highest inflow ever seen into the fund. This influx, combined with positive returns and changes in currency value, resulted in an overall increase in the fund's market value of almost 4,000 billion crores, the biggest ever jump. Despite the remarkable growth, the presenters cautioned that this level of performance is unsustainable and highlighted the availability of stress tests on their website, projecting potential significant declines in value under various scenarios. A significant portion of the fund's returns came from actual cash returns, including dividends from equity investments, coupons from bonds, and rents from real estate, totaling almost 400 billion crores. However, while the absolute return was impressive, the relative return fell short, underperforming the reference index by 45 basis points, marking the third worst year in percentage terms. This underperformance was attributed to a combination of factors, including real estate holdings (where value remained relatively flat compared to stock market gains) and an underweight allocation in equities, specifically in the largest US technology companies. Despite recent relative underperformance, the fund's excess returns since inception remain at 25 basis points per year. The fund's investments are diversified across four main asset classes: equities, fixed income, real estate, and infrastructure for renewable energy. Equities significantly outperformed the other asset classes with an 18% return, which was the primary driver behind the fund's overall success. A deep dive into the equities portfolio revealed strong performance in the US market compared to European markets, a trend that has been observed over the past decade. This difference was attributed to the sector composition of the different regions, with technology, particularly AI-related stocks, driving significant gains. NVIDIA was highlighted as the biggest single gainer. The presentation pointed out the concentration risk growing due to the size of top holding technology companies. Their investment in the biggest technology firms exceeded their combined investments in major European economies and India. The number of listed companies has decreased while the number of privately owned companies has greatly expanded. A portfolio manager highlighted that AI has been the main driver of tech performance, with significant dispersion in returns. He noted extraordinary earnings growth for NVIDIA due to high AI chip demand. AI also boosted earnings for mega-cap tech companies like Meta and Google, driving up their advertising revenue. He cautioned that the continued success of these companies will depend on their ability to innovate and create new products and services that customers are willing to pay for. He highlighted AI in the physical world. An example being robotaxis in San Francisco and LA but could be rolled out far more widely and thus represent a huge opportunity for companies including Tesla, Google and Amazon. External managers, who oversee roughly 5% of the fund's assets, continued to generate excess returns. Their local expertise, deep company analysis, and on-the-ground research capabilities were credited for their success. India was highlighted as a market where local managers have excelled, focusing on larger quality companies and demonstrating resilience despite various economic and political challenges. Fixed income investments generated a 1% return, with a running yield of 4%. The US Treasury 10-year rate was volatile. Increased interest rates impacted the return. The speaker discussed inflation and government spending contributing to the 10 year treasury yields remaining higher in the end of the year. The unlisted real estate holdings had a slightly negative return, while listed real estate performed well. The head of US investments in real estate noted that 2024 marked a turning point, with signs of stabilization after two challenging years. While the work-from-home trend continues to impact office buildings, the best buildings in prime locations are performing better. Logistics properties remain strong. The fund is cautiously reinvesting in real estate, focusing on high-quality properties at lower prices, including increased ownership in office buildings in Boston, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. Renewable infrastructure investments reported a negative 10% return. The negative developments are caused by rising interest rate environment, industry failing to meet already high expectations, and stronger focus from customers on security of baseload supply. The presenters noted that this decline is primarily due to the methodology used for valuation. The presentation concluded by reiterating key points, including the 13% return, underperformance against the broader market, and the fund value at the end of the year. The presenters highlighted their commitment to transparency, announcing the release of their holdings list and an update on their three-year strategy. The fund value stood at almost 20,000 billion at the year. They also promoted an upcoming event focused on identifying the characteristics of great companies.
