Robeco Transition Emerging Credits is an actively managed sub-fund that invests in bonds (which may include contingent convertible bonds (also "coco" bonds)), asset backed securities and similar fixed income securities issued by entities incorporated or exercising a preponderant part of their economic activities in Emerging Countries. The selection of these bonds is based on fundamental analysis. The fund has the flexibility to invest in value opportunities beyond the index universe, which means that the fund comprises both local currency and hard currency debt. The fund aims to make investments in assets with a sustainable objective as well as investments in assets that contribute to a transition. Transition pertains to activities that measurably and credibly contribute to the goals of the Paris Agreement and/or an environmental and/or social objective. This is achieved by investing in entities that have credible emission reduction targets, entities that provide solutions to enable climate change mitigation and bonds to finance sustainability transformation or refinance, in part or in full, new and/or existing projects with an environmental and/or social objective. The fund's objective is to provide long-term capital growth.
