The fund is subject to an annual subscription tax ('tax d'abonnement') in Luxembourg, which amounts to 0.05% of the net asset value of the fund.

Fiscal treatment of investor
The fiscal consequences of investing in this fund depend on the investor's personal situation. For private investors in the Netherlands real interest and dividend income or capital gains received on their investments are not relevant for tax purposes. Each year investors pay income tax on the value of their net assets as at 1 January if and inasmuch as such net assets exceed the investor’s tax-free allowance. Any amount invested in the fund forms part of the investor's net assets. Private investors who are resident outside the Netherlands will not be taxed in the Netherlands on their investments in the fund. However, such investors may be taxed in their country of residence on any income from an investment in this fund based on the applicable national fiscal laws. Other fiscal rules apply to legal entities or professional investors. We advise investors to consult their financial or tax adviser about the tax consequences of an investment in this fund in their specific circumstances before deciding to invest in the fund.

Sustainability-related disclosures
Sustainability profile
Sustainability
The fund invests a minimum of 80% in other Robeco managed or externally managed funds which are classified under Article 8 or 9 of SFDR and either promote environmental or social characteristics or have sustainable investment as their objective. Sustainability is thus one of the considerations in the fund selection.
Market development
Markets continued to be in risk-off mode, with equities down for the third month. It was a similar story in the bond market, as yield curves steepened sharply over the period. This more cautious mood was echoed by a 7% jump in gold, often considered a safe-haven asset. From a macro perspective, we witnessed positive economic surprises with strong US retail sales and a robust Q3 GDP. It seems that US consumers are happy to keep spending even in the face of persistent inflation and high interest rates. Elevated geopolitical risks also came into focus, following a terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas at the start of October. Israel has responded with air strikes and paved the way for a broader ground invasion in Gaza. Within equities, small and micro caps were the most unloved place over the month, down almost twice as much versus the broader market. Bond markets saw a similar weakness in October. The 2-year Treasury yield saw a slight increase, but the 10-year and 30-year yields rose more than 30 basis points.
Performance explanation
Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -0.92%. All funds delivered a negative return in October. The performance of the funds varied between 0.00% and -2.33%. The slide in the equity markets was the main cause of this negative performance. Equity markets suffered from the rapid rise in rates and the increase in geopolitical tension due to the attack on Israel. The funds with a shorter duration performed better, as they allocate less to equities and more to fixed income.
Expectation of fund manager
Ernesto Sanichar
The portfolios remained tilted towards a lower equity weight in October.
