Product range: added value to client investments
Robeco will focus on a compact range of actively managed ‘basic’ products supplemented with a select number of proven successes such as Emerging Markets Equities, US Premium Equities, SAM and Transtrend products. In addition, Robeco will create or strengthen strategies and investment solutions that significantly add value to client investment portfolios and where it creates a defensible competitive edge, including: 1. Responsible investing; 2. Inflation-linked products; 3. Food & Agri funds for the institutional market, developed together with Rabobank; 4. Pension and investment solutions, e.g. defined-contribution solutions, manager selection, life-cycle products and fiduciary management; 5. Research and quant products, building on Robeco’s long-standing expertise in this area.
The above also implicates that Robeco will increasingly offer investment solutions, next to investment products. Robeco will stay committed to both the institutional and retail market, aiming to further increase the relative share of institutional assets under management.
