           SEB STARTS NEW FUND - SEB WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

The fund will invest globally in companies involved in wireless communications,
mainly mobile Internet, and is one of the first of its type in the world.  SEB
Wireless Communication will initially invest in the following segments:
equipment, components, operators, software and services as well as information
and media.  The fund is a high-risk product and should represent a touch of
spice in a portfolio.

"Our customers are demanding more specialised funds with high risk. 
Consequently, we have started several funds of this type and SEB Wireless
Communication is the latest.  In the new economy, wireless technology will play
a very large and important role.  Accordingly, it feels totally correct to start
such a fund now, when we can 'be there from the start'," says Claes-Johan
Thureson, Head of SEB Fonder.

The fund will be globally invested, focusing on Europe, particularly
Scandinavia, as well as the US and Japan.  The fund will be administered by the
same team that manages SEB's Teknologifond (Technology Fund) and Internetfond
(Internet Fund), which are led by Thor Udenaes.

"So far, the Internet has been the leader in technical development, but in the
not too distant future the mobile segment will be at the leading edge. 
Development has just begun and the number of mobile users is still rising
sharply," says Thor Udenaes, manager responsible for SEK Wireless Communication.
 
Sales of SEB Wireless Communication will begin on 5 June this year  The fund
will invest in 30 to 50 companies, of which about 90 percent will be listed. 
The start price will be EUR 1, about SEK 8.40 and is open for monthly instalment
savings as well as lump-sum subscriptions.  The management fee is 1.5 percent.
