About this fund

Robeco Asia-Pacific Equities is an actively managed fund that invests in stocks in developed and emerging Asian-Pacific countries. The selection of these stocks is based on fundamental analysis. The fund's objective is to achieve a better return than the index. The fund focuses on stocks of companies incorporated in Asia, Australia or New Zealand or those companies that exercise major part of economic activity from these regions. Country allocation is a less important performance driver, implemented via country and currency overlays.

Market development

Per 31-05-2026

Asia outperformed strongly, with MSCI Asia Pacific +8.5%, reaching new highs and beating US and Europe. The rally broadened after early rate volatility, but remained firmly AI/IT-led. Leadership & dispersion: South Korea (+35%) and Taiwan (+16%) led on strong earnings and upgrades, with Japan also positive. In contrast, China (-3%) lagged on weak consumption, Hong Kong softened on liquidity concerns, and India drifted amid IT disruption fears. ASEAN was flat, lacking AI exposure. Earnings momentum: Upward earnings revisions concentrated in South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, led by tech. China saw isolated improvement (e.g., real estate), while India faced notable downgrades (staples). Valuations & positioning: South Korea remains cheap despite outperformance, while Taiwan screens expensive on a cyclical peak. Indonesia also looks deeply discounted. China and India are broadly in line with history.

Expectation of fund manager

Joshua Crabb
Harfun Ven

Asia Pacific equity markets have continued to new highs after the rebound last month and continue to outperform US and EU markets. Performance continues to be narrow, concentrated in AI-exposed IT leaders in South Korea, Taiwan and, Japan. Encouragingly, capex and order momentum across the AI ecosystem continues to support earnings growth, particularly within semiconductors and related supply chains. We previously viewed the Iran-related sell-off as an attractive entry point given resilient fundamentals and the valuation reset at that time – a view that has been validated by the subsequent rebound.
