Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}The spread of COVID-19 rattled global financial markets, sending global markets as measured by the MSCI World Index lower and erasing all gains from the rally that began in early September. The World Health Organization raised its global risk level for the virus with new cases being reported around the globe. Unsure about the virus’ potency, investors flocked to safe-haven assets and 10-year and 30-year treasury yields dropped to a record low. All economic sectors traded down, led lower by energy and materials.

Currency policy

Dividend policy
In principle the fund distributes dividend four times a year. The fund's policy aims at realizing as the maximum possible capital growth within the pre-set risk limits. A high dividend return is therefore not a separate objective
ESG Integration policy
For Robeco BP Global Premium Equities, ESG factors are qualitatively considered on an individual basis in the fundamental analysis but are not structurally integrated in the investment process.
Investment policy
Robeco BP Global Premium Equities invests across the globe in stocks that meet our Three Circles criteria. We seek out attractive valuation, quality businesses, and positive business momentum. The portfolio will always exhibit these characteristics as the portfolio manager can invest in the largest possible universe. Robeco BP Global Premium Equities's management is taken care of by Robeco Boston Partners. This wholly-owned U.S. Robeco subsidiary specializes in value-biased equity investing and boasts an excellent reputation. Boston Partners' investment policy is well known for its unique combination of value-oriented investing, thorough internal research and careful risk management. Wealth preservation comes first.

In the stock selection process, carefully developed models are used. Meetings with the companies' management and assessment of corporate data are other essential elements of the selection process.
Risk policy
Risk management is fully embedded in the investment process to ensure that the fund's positions remain within set limits at all times.
Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}COVID-19 dominated the headlines and equity market movements during the month. As we have seen during numerous previous periods of heightened threats to global growth, sentiment reflexively favors growth and ‘safety’ at any price. These periods decidedly work against the performance of our strategy where value is one of the three tenets underpinning our investment process. Needless to say, value investing was decidedly out of favor again, underperforming growth and momentum investing. Despite being out of favor, we continue to find numerous attractive opportunities in the financials, materials and industrials sectors at the expense of technology, REITs and utilities. We are cautious and cannot predict when the long-overdue rotation to value will firmly take hold, but remain as confident as ever about Boston Partners' investment process. Given the fund’s attractive Three-Circle characteristics with a compelling value proposition, we are optimistic about the period ahead.
