Risk policy
Risk management is fully integrated into the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}There is economic recovery here, with strong manufacturing activity and consumer spending accelerating thanks to stimulus checks and vaccines reopening consumer activity. Recent GDP estimates for 2021 are in the 7% to 9% range. The last time the US had a GDP growth of 8% or above was in 1951. Government talk of increased corporate taxes and personal taxes on the upper tier and potential increased regulatory scrutiny may concern investors going forward. Inflation expectations have been rising along with long-term yields, causing the yield curve to steepen. We have been through many cycles before, have taken advantage of outstanding buying opportunities earlier in 2020 and our absolute and relative performance across our funds has rebounded strongly since the market bottom a year ago.

Fiscal treatment of investor
The fiscal consequences of investing in this fund depend on the investor's personal situation. For private investors in the Netherlands real interest and dividend income or capital gains received on their investments are not relevant for tax purposes. Each year investors pay income tax on the value of their net assets as at 1 January if and inasmuch as such net assets exceed the investor’s tax-free allowance. Any amount invested in the fund forms part of the investor's net assets. Private investors who are resident outside the Netherlands will not be taxed in the Netherlands on their investments in the fund. However, such investors may be taxed in their country of residence on any income from an investment in this fund based on the applicable national fiscal laws.

We advise investors to consult their financial or tax adviser about the tax consequences of an investment in this fund in their specific circumstances before deciding to invest in the fund.
