Statistieken	3 jaar	5 jaar
Tracking error ex-post (%) The ex-post tracking error is defined as the volatility of the fund's achieved excess return over the index return. In fund management, most managers are subject to an ex-ante (pre-determined) tracking error, which defines the extent of the additional risk they may take when aspiring to outperform the fund's benchmark. The ex-post tracking error explains the distribution of past fund performances compared to those of its underlying benchmark. With a higher tracking error, the fund's returns deviate more from its index's returns, hence there is a greater chance that the fund may outperform. The wider the spread of returns relative to the benchmark, the more "actively" a fund has been managed. In contrast, a low tracking error indicates more "passive" management.	5.07	5.16
Informatieratio This ratio serves to evaluate the quality of the excess return a fund manager has achieved because it takes the active risk involved into account. The information ratio is defined as the excess return over the benchmark return divided by the fund's tracking error. The higher the information ratio, the better. For example, a fund with a tracking error of 4% and an excess return of 2% over benchmark has an information ratio of 0.5, which is quite good.	-0.86	-0.92
Sharpe-ratio This ratio measures the risk-adjusted performance and allows the performance quality of different investments to be compared. It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate from the fund's returns and dividing the result by the fund's standard deviation (risk). So the Sharpe ratio tells us whether a fund's returns are the result of smart investment decisions or stem from taking extra risk. The higher the ratio, the better, meaning that a greater return is achieved per unit of risk. This ratio is named after its inventor, Nobel Laureate, William Sharpe.	1.01	0.51
Alpha (%) Alpha measures the difference between a portfolio's actual return and its expected performance, given the level of risk, compared to the benchmark. A positive alpha figure indicates that the fund has performed better than expected, given the level of risk. Beta is used to calculate the level of risk compared to the benchmark..	-5.52	-5.22
Beta Beta is a measure of a portfolio's volatility, or systematic risk, in comparison to the benchmark. A beta of 1 indicates that the portfolio will move with the benchmark. A beta of less than 1 means that the portfolio will be less volatile than the benchmark. A beta of more than 1 indicates that the portfolio will be more volatile than the benchmark. For example, if a portfolio's beta is 1.2 it is theoretically 20% more volatile than the benchmark.	1.13	1.11
Standaarddeviatie Standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. The more spread out the data is, the higher the deviation. In finance, standard deviation is applied to the annual rate of return of an investment to measure the investment's volatility (risk).	14.10	15.90
Max. maandelijkse winst (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	9.62	9.62
Max. maandelijks verlies (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-7.72	-9.56

Marktontwikkeling

Per 31-07-2026

Global equity markets were broadly flat in July, with a sharp correction in AI and technology-related stocks offsetting strength elsewhere in the market. In contrast, financials continued to outperform broader equities, supported by strong earnings, elevated interest rates, robust capital markets activity and a rotation toward more attractively valued sectors. Financial markets remained supportive for banks, insurers and diversified financials. Strong trading activity, recovering investment banking revenues and continued earnings upgrades helped drive performance across many developed market financial institutions. At the same time, sentiment toward Hong Kong and China-related insurers improved, as regulatory concerns eased and cross-border demand remained healthy. Overall, financial sector fundamentals remained strong, supported by earnings upgrades, solid capital positions and improving profitability. While valuations have moved higher, investors continued to reassess the sector's return potential, supporting further re-rating across banks, diversified financials and insurers.

Per 31-07-2026

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 4.98%. Robeco New World Financials slightly underperformed versus the benchmark during July. Performance was supported by the Aging Finance theme, while Emerging Finance and Digital Finance detracted from returns. The insurance, capital markets and consumer finance industries made the strongest positive contributions, whereas banks and financial services weighed on relative performance. At the stock level, Ameriprise Financial, Intercontinental Exchange, Daiwa Securities, Aegon, Charles Schwab, AIA Group and Prudential were among the strongest contributors. In contrast, Citigroup, Robinhood Markets, Vietnam Techcom Bank, HDFC Bank and Evercore detracted from performance. Despite the modest relative underperformance during the month, the strategy continued to benefit from strong earnings momentum across several financial sector segments.

Verwachting van de fondsmanager

The outlook for financials remains constructive, supported by strong earnings momentum, solid capital positions and a favorable interest rate environment. A steepening yield curve, easing regulatory pressures and robust capital markets activity are expected to benefit banks, insurers and diversified financials. The managers continue to see attractive opportunities outside the US, where valuations remain relatively compelling. Within Digital Finance, structural growth drivers such as digital payments, capital markets activity, AI adoption and blockchain technology remain intact. The increasing use of AI agents is expected to create opportunities for digitally native and data-rich financial businesses, while continued innovation in FinTech and digital assets supports a positive long-term outlook.
