Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}General equities continued to perform well in February, driven by the news flow on the US-China trade talks, stimulus in China and a change in narrative by Fed policymakers. While US president Trump ruled out a Xi Jinping meeting ahead of the 1 March trade deadline, trade talks appeared to make progress and both parties seem intent on finalizing a deal soon. Chinese policymakers conveyed clear messages on stimulus and their focus on kickstarting the economy, which did not get lost on investors and pushed the Chinese A-share market up. Finally, Fed policymakers materially changed their tone from a tightening bias to a wait-and-see approach. Real estate stocks did not fully participate in the rally in general equities. After a very strong January, real estate stocks were held back in February by their initial guidance for 2019 earnings, which for a majority was below market expectations.

Currency policy
The fund can engage in currency hedging transactions.
Dividend policy
The fund does not distribute dividend. The income earned by the fund is reflected in its share price. The fund's entire result is thus reflected in its share price development.
ESG Integration policy
For Robeco Property Equities, we combine fundamental analysis with proprietary Robeco quantitative models and use the sustainability data from RobecoSAM when available for our universe. In our fundamental analysis and company engagement we focus on environmental issues. These factors are material, as decrease of energy use has a direct effect on the bottom line and a better sustainability profile increases attractiveness for tenants, in both the office and retail real-estate sectors.
Investment policy
Robeco Property Equities invests globally in leading companies in the property sector combining a sound business model, solid growth prospects and a reasonable valuation. Key to the investment process is identification of strong global trends. Within these trends the bottom-up stock selection is driven by the combination of thorough fundamental analysis and quantitative model outcomes. In its analysis the fund does not apply regional timing, focus is on fitness to the growth trends, quality of assets, management teams and balance sheets. Quantitative models are used to screen stocks with high scores on a set of multiple factors that have proven to drive outperformance in the short and medium term. The fund invests in 50 to 70 companies.
Risk policy
Risk management is fully integrated in 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') ]}}With a 3% plus dividend yield, the global real estate sector remains an attractive asset category for income-oriented investors. In developed markets, fundamentals are still strong, with FY2019-FYE2021 earnings growth rates in the mid-single digits. As payout ratios are upped, we expect dividends to rise accordingly. Overall leverage for the listed sector is moderate with an average Net Debt to Enterprise Value of sub 30% and Net Debt/EBITDA of around 6.0x. We remain neutral on the sector's valuation. Real estate stocks currently trade at a high single-digit discount to their net asset values. On a relative P/E basis, real estate equities trade above their historical average of 0.9x. The sector's performance will remain vulnerable to (short-term) interest rate movements. Globally, cap rate spreads to local 10-year bond yields are still above historical averages. In the US, implied cap rate spreads to investment grade yields are below 100 bps versus a historical average of 160 bps. For the foreseeable future, we expect a healthy supply of new commercial real estate and as such physical depletion could cause a shortage of high grade real estate as global GDP growth improves.
