Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors are systematically integrated in the highly disciplined investment process, by using the ESG scores from the RobecoSAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment. The ESG integration aims for a total ESG score of the portfolio higher than the index. Moreover, the scores on the Environmental, Social and Governance dimensions should also be higher than the index, to ensure that the ESG enhancement is reached across all three dimensions. This ensures that stocks with higher ESG scores are more likely to be included in the portfolio while stocks of companies that have very poor ESG scores are more likely to be divested from the portfolio. With these portfolio construction rules we aim for an ESG profile of the fund that is above average compared to its peers. In addition, stocks with corporate governance issues or stocks that have major litigation or regulatory risk may be excluded from the investable universe. Next to ESG integration, Robeco has an exclusion policy and conducts proxy voting and engagement activities based on International Corporate Governance Network objectives.

Robeco QI Global Developed Multi-Factor Equities is an actively managed fund that invests in stocks in developed countries across the world. The selection of these stocks is based on a quantitative model. The fund's objective is to achieve a better return than the index. The fund aims for a better sustainability profile compared to the Benchmark by promoting ESG (i.e. Environmental, Social and corporate Governance) characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 of the European Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation and integrating ESG and sustainability risks in the investment process. In addition, the fund applies an exclusion list on the basis of controversial behavior, products (including controversial weapons, tobacco, palm oil and fossil fuel) and countries, next to proxy voting and engagement. The fund follows a bottom-up driven investment strategy to gain efficient, well-diversified exposure to the proven factors value, momentum, low-volatility and quality. The fund uses enhanced factor definitions to avoid unrewarded risk and unwanted and unintended factor tiltsThe majority of the stocks selected will be components of the Benchmark, but stocks outside the Benchmark may be selected too. The Management Company may use its discretion to invest in companies or sectors not included in the Benchmark based upon the outcome of a proprietary quantitative model. The fund can deviate substantially from the weightings of the Benchmark. The investment strategy aims to offer a better risk-adjusted return than the Benchmark over the long run whilst still controlling relative risk through the application of limits (on countries, sectors and issuers) to limit the extent of deviation from the Benchmark. This will consequently limit the deviation of the performance relative to the benchmark. The Benchmark is a broad market weighted index that is not consistent with the ESG characteristics promoted by the fund.

Risk management is fully integrated in the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
