À propos de ce fonds

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.

Statistiques	3 ans	5 ans
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.	0.50	1.29
Ratio d'information 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.	-0.47	0.44
Ratio de Sharpe 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.	0.79	-0.09
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..	-0.29	0.56
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.	1.02	1.00
Ecart type 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).	3.90	5.93
Gain mensuel max. (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	3.72	5.93
Perte mensuelle max.(%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-1.93	-4.31

Évolution des marchés

Par 30-06-2026

The dominant macro theme was a hawkish shift by the Federal Reserve under new Chairman Kevin Warsh. The June FOMC meeting left rates unchanged, but the dot plot showed nine officials expected at least one rate increase in 2026, materially repricing the risk-free backdrop for emerging market credit. Geopolitical risks also weighed on sentiment, with the Iran conflict remaining a key concern and emerging market currencies weakening on reports of stalled US-Iran talks. In rates, Turkey's central bank kept policy unchanged at 37% against a cooling domestic economy, while Indonesia delivered a surprise 25 basis point emergency hike to 5.5% to stabilize the rupiah and stem foreign outflows. Corporate activity remained active in hard-currency markets. HDFC Bank priced a USD 750 million five-year dollar bond at its tightest-ever spread of T+90 basis points, while the Philippines raised USD 2.5 billion through a three-part transaction. Brazil's Braskem restructuring faced further complications, even as distressed emerging market funds recorded strong inflows.

Attribution de performance

Par 30-06-2026

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 0.26%. This month's performance was broadly flat. Underweights in Argentina and Colombia detracted, while the underweight in Saudi Arabia contributed positively and the overweight in the UAE detracted. At the security level, underweights in Aragvi Finance, Komos, and Aramco added value, while the underweight in Ecopetrol and overweight in MTR detracted.

Prévisions du gérant

Thu Ha Chow
Frank Reynaerts
Evert Giesen

We expect EM corporate credit returns to remain primarily carry-driven, but with a wider range of outcomes as markets balance concerns over persistent US inflation against lower oil prices, helped by the US-Iran MOU and the recent decline in energy prices. Warsh has set a hawkish tone and, with the dot plot showing nine officials penciling in at least one hike in 2026, Fed policy uncertainty is likely to keep markets cautious. There is also a risk that AI-related funding could crowd out other sectors, particularly as issuance is expected to pick up after the summer break. These factors could pressure returns from both the rate and spread sides, with higher-beta issuers in Indonesia, Turkey and frontier markets most exposed. Spreads are therefore likely to remain range-bound, with a bias toward episodic widening rather than sustained tightening. Fundamentals remain solid, supported by moderate leverage, stable cash flows and contained defaults. We continue to favor BBB–BB credit over lower-rated high yield, prefer financials, and remain cautious on cyclicals exposed to growth, energy costs or margin pressure.
