Investment solutions

Customized solutions for every client

Professional investors are navigating an increasingly complex landscape, facing challenges that range from market volatility and evolving regulatory demands to climate change. At our core, we offer tailored solutions to various clients built on deep expertise and sustainable practices.

Solutions for pensions

We co-create tailored solutions to transform pension plan requirements into effective, viable investments.

Solutions for insurers

We offer innovative investment solutions to optimize portfolios to meet insurers’ distinct challenges.

Solutions for wealth managers

We identify opportunities across asset classes, to meet changing needs, innovating for market shifts.

Pension plans and insurers have complex objectives and constraints – a one-size-fits-all approach for fixed income investments will not work. This makes a customized approach vital.

Assisted by proprietary optimization tooling, solutions range from LDI and CDI to fixed maturity products and Buy and Maintain Credit. These are backed by fundamental analysis, which we also apply in our extensive range of credit and broader fixed income strategies.

All mandates are tailored to each client’s risk and return preferences, as well as regulatory and capital requirements, underpinned by our vast knowledge of sustainability regulations. The need to meet climate change-related commitments that affect the balance sheet is integrated throughout.
Moving beyond decarbonization in climate investing
Within our solutions, we aim to maximise the potential from Robeco’s diverse range of equity strategies.

Investment innovation at Robeco

Here are some of the key reasons why you should build a tailored solution with us.

Every year, our flagship Expected Returns forecasts the likely asset returns and economic conditions for the upcoming five-year periods. We use this publication to form the basis of our strategic asset allocation for clients with specific investment needs. This helps us to optimize fixed income, equity and multi-asset portfolios.

We add tactical asset allocation to our investment proposals using advanced quant models and our proprietary SDG frameworks to screen universes of thousands of investment candidates to find the winners in each asset class.

Taken together, strategic and tactical asset allocation form an unbeatable combination in creating the right risk-adjusted or returns-orientated portfolios for clients.

As a pioneer of sustainable investing, we go further than simply integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors across our entire spectrum of fundamental, quantitative, thematic and emerging markets investing.
By combining deep sustainability insights with flexible portfolio construction, we help clients confidently pursue their financial goals while staying true to their environmental and social commitments.
We have developed various ‘Traffic Light’ models to assess what progress companies are making on their SDG, decarbonization and biodiversity targets. Active ownership is extensively used to further sustainability objectives at investee companies through engagement and voting to improve long-term outcomes.
Crafting solutions, five client cases Traffic Lights for climate and biodiversity investing
An engineer is nothing without their tools. Our signature tool for fixed income solutions, the Falcon platform, allows portfolio optimization in arenas ranging from LDI and CDI to Fixed Maturity Products and Buy and Maintain Credit.
Our equity optimization tool, Magpie, enables precise portfolio construction by balancing different return sources with risk considerations across global equity markets.
Working alongside it, our strategic asset allocation engine, Parrot, supports long-term investment planning by integrating macroeconomic scenarios and capital market assumptions into robust, forward-looking portfolio strategies.
Beyond these tools, we have pioneered various resources over the years that have become integral to our solutions. This includes our duration times spread models in credit investing, and the integration of AI instruments in SI investing.
External resources such as data providers and our network of academics are leveraged when needed to construct portfolios and find solutions to previously unaddressed challenges.
