Risk appetite in capital markets was limited in December, though the level of pessimism was highest in the US and not in Europe this time. Sentiment towards Italy improved considerably, as the Italian government decided to adjust its 2019 budget a little bit, to avoid an Excessive Deficit Procedure. Italian government bonds performed well in December, as did bonds issued by banks and insurers in Italy and Spain. In the UK, the parliamentary vote on the exit deal was postponed until January. It is still unlikely that the deal will be approved by parliament at first instance. Spreads for UK banks recovered a bit in December. For the asset class in general, spreads on subordinated financial debt widened just a few basis points during the month. At the same time, spreads for US credit and high yield widened significantly. As expected, the Fed raised interest rates, but the outlook for further hikes in 2019 was more hawkish than the market had hoped for. Trade war tensions increased after the arrest of Huawei’s CFO in Canada. Investment flows continued to be negative, this has been a negative factor for a while already.

Sustainability Themed Fund |
All currency risks are hedged.
The Feeder Fund uses derivatives to hedge the duration of the Master. The duration hedge will lead to intended performance differences between the Feeder Fund and the Master. Interest rate movements will have a different effect on the Master and the Feeder Fund.
This share class of the fund will distribute dividend.
The prime goal of integrating ESG factors in our analysis is to strengthen our ability to assess the downside risk of our credit investments. Our analysts include RobecoSAM sustainability data and use external sources to make an ESG assessment as a part of the fundamental analysis.
This Fund is a feeder Fund ( the “Feeder Fund”) and as such invests at least 85% of its assets in class Z2H shares of Robeco Capital Growth Funds SICAV – Robeco Financial Institutions Bonds (“the Master”). The Master is a sub-fund of Robeco Capital Growth Funds SICAV, a Luxembourg open-ended investment company with variable capital. The Master invests mainly in subordinated euro-denominated bonds issued by financial institutions and similar non-government fixed income securities. The Master aims to outperform the benchmark by taking positions that deviate from the benchmark. The benchmark of the Master is Barclays Euro-Aggregate: Corp.Fin.Subordinated 2% Issuer Cap.
Risk management is fully embedded in the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
Spreads widened significantly during the fourth quarter, leaving the trading range that we saw since the start of the summer. In fact, spreads are now trading in the range that we last saw in the first half of 2016. At that time, markets were worried about a global slowdown in economic growth. For the financial sector specifically, markets worried about the credit risk of Deutsche Bank and about the fact that coupon payments on AT1 CoCos could be at risk. To some extent, we are seeing similar worries right now. Economic growth is slowing down and the market is currently reassessing the risk of callable bonds being extended after the first call date. We would argue that a large part of the increased risks is priced in by the market. Bonds with low reset spreads have widened significantly and are trading at cheap levels now. Brexit, Italy and conduct charges are risks facing the financial sector, but the companies involved have seen a significant repricing already. We are not concerned about the fundamental credit quality of the sector. The significant deleveraging that took place over the past years means that the sector is well equipped to face lower economic growth.
