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.	3.95	3.68
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.	0.26	0.42
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.	1.09	0.64
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..	1.14	1.64
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.	0.98	0.97
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).	13.09	15.02
Gain mensuel max. (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	8.84	11.18
Perte mensuelle max.(%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-6.77	-8.97

Évolution des marchés

Par 31-07-2026

US equities delivered mixed results in July, with the S&P 500 modestly higher as renewed AI concerns, higher oil prices and rising bond yields outweighed strong late-month technology earnings. Market volatility prompted a rotation away from expensive growth stocks, helping value outperform growth, led by energy and financials.

Attribution de performance

Par 31-07-2026

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -0.32%. Robeco BP US Large Cap Equities underperformed versus the Russell 1000 Value Index in July. Overall detraction in the fund largely came down to stock selection in information technology, which accounted for approximately 95% of the difference in relative performance over the month. Applied Materials and Micron Technology were the two largest individual detractors from relative return; both are equipment and memory names that were among the most exposed to the profit-taking. Besides, both stocks were dropped from the Russell value indices in the June rebalance. Industrials was another weak area from a stock selection perspective. C. H. Robinson was the largest detractor falling over 21% due to a trucking accident lawsuit. On a positive note, stock section added value across healthcare, financials, consumer discretionary and energy. From a sector allocation standpoint, the fund's overweight exposure to materials and industrials had the largest negative impact.

Prévisions du gérant

Three themes are shaping markets: the AI trade, the Iran conflict and uncertainty under Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. July's AI weakness appears to be a reassessment rather than a structural reversal, with investors focused on returns from hyperscalers' capital spending. Oil remains sensitive to developments in Iran and could fall if tensions ease. Inflation data and Warsh's Jackson Hole speech will be key to the interest rate outlook. We remain constructive over the long term while alert to downside risks and opportunities created by market pullbacks. As always, we remain focused on selecting companies from the bottom-up that reflect the Boston Partners' three circle characteristics – attractive valuations, solid business fundamentals, and identifiable catalysts.
