The fund can take a substantial active risk. The fund can deviate substantially from the issuer, country and sector weightings of the Benchmark.

Environmental footprint
Environmental footprint expresses the total resource consumption of the portfolio per mUSD invested. Each assessed company's footprint is calculated by normalizing resources consumed by the company's enterprise value including cash (EVIC). We aggregate these figures to portfolio level using a weighted average, multiplying each assessed portfolio constituent's footprint by its respective position weight. Sovereign and cash positions have no impact on the calculation. If an index is selected, its aggregate footprint is shown besides that of the portfolio. The equivalent factors that are used for comparison between the portfolio and index represent European averages and are based on third-party sources combined with own estimates. As such, the figures presented are intended for illustrative purposes and are purely an indication. Figures only include corporates The reported waste generation by companies in the portfolio and index can include Incinerated Waste, Landfill Waste, Nuclear Waste, Recycled Waste and Mining Tailing Waste. While these types of waste have different environmental impacts, in the comparison all types of waste are aggregated and expressed as total weight. The difference in tonnes/mUSD invested between portfolio and index is expressed as ‘equivalent to the annual waste generation of # people’, based on the average tonnes of household waste generated per European.



Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating
The Portfolio Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating chart displays the portfolio's ESG Risk Rating. This is calculated by multiplying each portfolio component's Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating by its respective portfolio weight. If an index has been selected, those scores are provided alongside the portfolio scores, highlighting the portfolio's ESG risk level compared to the index. The Distribution across Sustainalytics ESG Risk levels chart shows the portfolio allocations broken into Sustainalytics' five ESG risk levels: negligible (0-10), low (10-20), medium (20-30), high (30-40) and severe (40+), providing an overview of portfolio exposure to the different ESG risk levels. If an index has been selected, the same information is shown for the index. Only holdings mapped as corporates are included in the figures.



Sustainability
The fund incorporates sustainability in the investment process via exclusions, negative screening, ESG integration, targets on investments in companies and countries based on ESG performance as well as engagement and a minimum allocation to ESG-labeled bonds. For government and government-related bonds, the fund complies with Robeco’s exclusion policy for countries, excludes the 15% worst ranked countries following the World Governance Indicator 'Control of Corruption', and ensures investments have a minimum weighted average score of 6 following Robeco's proprietary Country Sustainability Ranking. The Country Sustainability Ranking scores countries on a scale from 1 (worst) to 10 (best) based on 40 environmental, social, and governance indicators. For corporate bonds, the fund does not invest in credit issuers that are in breach of international norms or where activities have been deemed detrimental to society following Robeco's exclusion policy. ESG factors are integrated in the bottom-up security analysis to assess the impact on the issuer's fundamental credit quality. In the credit selection the fund limits exposure to issuers with an elevated sustainability risk profile as well as excludes companies with high or medium negative SDG scores following Robeco's internally developed three-step SDG framework. Where issuers are flagged for breaching international standards in the ongoing monitoring, the issuer will become subject to engagement.
Market development
The global manufacturing cycle picked up steam. For the first time in six months, the JP Morgan Global Manufacturing indicator moved back towards 50, an indication that manufacturing activity is recovering. The Asia-Pacific region is leading the pack, showing the largest positive macro surprises. The combination of stronger macro data and falling inflation was a goldilocks environment for risky assets. There are questions surfacing about how long this will last, given that inflation data has been persistently 'sticky' and has not fallen as quickly as investors had anticipated. US rate cuts for 2023 have been almost fully priced out. It is also becoming clear that the ECB will need to do more. In short, the peak of the rates cycle has been pushed out. Few asset classes delivered a positive return this month. With a loss of -0.1% in EUR, global equities was one of the best-performing asset classes. Both commodities and emerging market equities lost more than 4%. Global investment grade corporates lost 2.7% and lagged behind government bonds and global high yield.
Performance explanation
Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -0.98%. The Robeco Multi Asset Growth Fund was down 0.9% over the month, in line with the benchmark. Resilient economic data and persistently sticky inflation have combined to move expectations for the peak of the rate cycle higher and further out. Global equities ran out of steam somewhat after the strong advances in January. Government bond yields were higher, with both high yield and investment grade spreads widening over the month. The stand out contributor was Sustainable Global Stars. This concentrated equity growth strategy benefited from strong stock selection. For instance, STMicroelectronics benefited from strong semiconductor demand from automotive and industrial customers after chip shortages hit the auto sector hard last year. A tactical overweight in emerging market equities hurt performance from an allocation perspective, as investors are waiting for hard data to confirm how China's reopening will proceed. However, this was offset by strong fund selection in the quant and fundamental emerging market equity strategies. Within credit, a marginal overweight in duration detracted.
Expectation of fund manager
Ernesto Sanichar
Mathieu Van Roon
Central banks consistently drilled home the message that the hiking cycle is not over, but only recently the market was willing to listen. As always, the market pendulum swung from too dovish to too hawkish. We used the backup in rates to increase our exposure to US Treasuries. We think that German yields are becoming attractive, but are reluctant to add now, as we think they can rise a bit further as inflation seems to be a bit stickier in the Eurozone. The case for emerging market equities remains valid, given their better growth prospects and valuation, and we see the current setback as a temporary pause after a spectacular rally. The headwinds for equities are getting more pronounced and we see few positive catalysts. These concerns have been with us for a while, but only now it looks like the equity markets are starting to lose steam. If this continues, we see it as a signal to start de-risking the portfolio. This de-risking of the portfolio will also have implications for our exposure to high yield, which we would start to lower at that stage.
