The fund will not invest into assets with a rating lower than "B-" by at least one of the recognized rating agencies. The fund takes into account the contribution of a company to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The portfolio is built on the basis of the eligible investment universe and an internally developed SDG framework for mapping and measuring SDG contributions, about which more information can be obtained via the website www.robeco.com/si.

Statistics	3 years	5 Years
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.	0.53	0.72
Information ratio 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.	1.19	0.28
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.	0.32	-0.41
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..	0.61	0.34
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.	1.00	1.04
Standard deviation 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).	5.42	6.80
Max. monthly gain (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	4.21	4.55
Max. monthly loss (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-2.53	-5.56

Market development

Per 30-11-2025

Credit markets navigated a volatile November. Spreads widened early in the month as markets priced out a December Fed cut and equity volatility rose, but most of that move reversed once softer labor data, dovish Fed commentary, and the resolution of the US government shutdown restored expectations for near-term easing and reduced fiscal uncertainty. A benign CPI print and a late month rally in US and European rates supported risk appetite, while the UK budget on 26 November delivered no major surprises, helped steady Gilt markets, and avoided renewed pressure on banks. Japan was a notable outlier, with a sharp rise in long-dated JGB yields as the market tested the Bank of Japan's resolve. Technical conditions were mixed. November delivered one of the heaviest new issue calendars of the year, with jumbo multi tranche supply from Alphabet and Amazon, following Meta's blockbuster deal at the end of October. The sheer volume created brief indigestion and soft secondary performance in early prints. By month-end, however, supply tapered, the market absorbed the backlog, ETF flows steadied, liquidity improved, and sentiment firmed as concerns around the crowded AI trade eased.

Performance explanation

Per 30-11-2025

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 0.26%. The Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate Bond Index gained 0.26% in November (hedged to EUR). US IG spreads widened by 2 bps, while EUR IG spreads tightened by 6 bps, to 80 and 83 basis points, respectively. Government yields moved lower: the 10-year US Treasury declined by 7 bps to 4.01%, while the 10-year Bund rose by 6 bps to 2.69%. Total returns were driven mainly by falling sovereign yields, while credit excess returns were slightly negative for the month. The portfolio performed broadly in line with its benchmark before fees. The impact from beta was negligible, as we maintained a near neutral stance throughout the month. Issuer selection was also broadly flat. Our overweight to euro credit versus US dollar credit detracted at the allocation level, but this was offset by strong single name selection. Key contributors included overweight positions in ZF Friedrichshafen, Energeticky a Prumyslovy Holding, Volkswagen, Eli Lilly and Oracle.

Credit markets remain comfortably numb: spreads hover near cycle tights and risk appetite holds even as growth slows and inflation risks persist. Strong technicals and fading memories of drawdowns keep investors long, yet valuations leave no margin for error. In the US, credit defies weakening fundamentals: softer labor demand, margin pressure, and political interference at the Fed risk reigniting inflation into a cooling economy. Tariff pass-through and sticky services prices lift stagflation risk, so complacency is the enemy. We stay defensive, favoring shorter spread duration and higher quality issuers. Europe remains our preferred region given sturdier balance sheets, near target inflation, and supportive technicals. In IG, we keep spread duration short, underweight in long dated USD, and tilt up in quality. In HY, we run roughly neutral beta in BB and B, avoid CCC, and hunt idiosyncratic carry. We take profits in European corporate hybrids after sharp tightening, and stay overweight in European bank subs. EM technicals are constructive, but stretched valuations argue for selection over beta. Bottom line: we are cautious on valuations, constructive on technicals, and patient on adding risk.
