Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}February was short but sweet. Investors breathed a sigh of relief over the trade war after US President Donald Trump lifted the deadline of 1 March for China to agree to concessions on trade. Earlier, the President had threatened to increase tariffs on USD 200 billion worth of Chinese goods. The euro area as a whole saw growth slow last year and forecasts suggest only marginal improvement for this year. The economy in the UK grew at only 1.4% in 2018, the weakest growth rate this decade. Brexit was clearly a reason, although most European countries saw a slowdown.

Currency policy
Currency risk is hedged to USD.
Dividend policy
The fund does not distribute dividend. Any income earned is retained, and so the fund's entire performance is reflected in its share price.
ESG Integration policy
For Robeco Global Consumer Trends Equities, we combine fundamental analysis with proprietary Robeco quantitative models and sustainability data from RobecoSAM to come to a portfolio of investment ideas of 50–70 companies.
Investment policy
Allocation to long-term growth trends offer possibilities of outperforming the broader market over a 3-5 year investment horizon. This trend fund invests in companies in consumer-related industries worldwide that benefit most from the selected long-term trends. Global population growth, urbanization, higher household incomes, technological changes and growth in emerging markets are the main drivers for our trend strategies. The fund managers select the companies that have as pure as possible exposure to the selected trends and themes. Proprietary valuation models are used to select stocks with good earnings prospects and a reasonable valuation. Companies are individually assessed on the basis of in-depth discussions with corporate management and consultations with internal and external analysts. This Sub-fund may invest in China A-shares via the QFII and/or a Stock Connect Programme which may entail additional clearing and settlement, regulatory, operational and counterparty risks.
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') ]}}Macroeconomic data continues to point to solid growth for the global economy. The Federal Reserve has steadily raised interest rates but seems to be patient with regard to further increases, taking into account the overall growth of the economy. In Europe, economic momentum remains slow and the stimulus program has ended, although interest rates remain near the zero lower bound. Emerging markets continue to show higher growth, although the market remains concerned about the trade war between the US and China.
