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.	3.36	3.37
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.	0.71	0.96
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.	0.75	0.96
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..	1.93	2.75
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.	1.05	1.02
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).	12.95	14.30
Max. monthly gain (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	10.03	10.75
Max. monthly loss (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-7.81	-7.85

Fiscal product treatment

The fund is established in the Netherlands. The fund is managed as a 'naamloze vennootschap' (public limited company). The fund has the status of 'fiscal investment institution' in the sense of article 28 of the Dutch Corporate-Income Tax Act 1969, and, as such, is taxed at a corporate-income tax rate of 0%.The fund is obliged to pay out the realized current income in the form of dividend within 8 months after the end of the financial year. From 1 January 2007 the fund withholds Dutch dividend tax at a rate of 15% from these dividend payments. The fund can in principle use the Dutch treaty network to partially recover any withholding tax on its income.

Fiscal treatment of investor

For a private investor residing in the Netherlands, the actual received interest, dividends or capital gains are not relevant for tax purposes. For Dutch tax-resident private investors, their holdings fall under Box 3. Investors pay annual tax on a fixed yield calculated based on the value of their assets as of 1 January. The return depends on the pro-rata allocation of assets to different categories, namely savings, debts or other assets. The holdings qualify as other assets for which the return rate is set at 6.04% (as of 1/1/2024; 6.17% as of 1/1/2023). The return rate is adjusted annually based on historical returns from previous years. The balance of the different asset categories is referred to as the return base. The effective return rate is then calculated by dividing the return by the return base. This effective return rate is applied to the savings and investments base to calculate the benefit from savings and investments. The savings and investments base is equal to the return base minus the tax-free amount. Investors pay income tax (36% in 2024; 32% in 2023) on this calculated benefit from savings and investments. The withheld Dutch dividend tax (15% as of 1/1/2024) is creditable against the income tax payable for investors residing in the Netherlands. Investors who are not subject to (exempt from) Dutch corporate tax (including Dutch pension funds) are not taxed on the result obtained. Dutch exempt entities can fully reclaim the 15% dividend tax withheld on dividends.Investors subject to Dutch corporate tax may be taxed on the result obtained from their investment in the fund, including dividend income and capital gains. Dutch corporate taxpayers can, in principle, credit the withheld dividend tax (15% as of 1/1/2024) against corporate tax and, under certain conditions, credit the excess in later years. For investors outside the Netherlands, their own national tax legislation applies to foreign investment funds. Shareholders who are not subject to tax in the Netherlands and reside in countries that have a double taxation treaty with the Netherlands may, depending on the treaty, reclaim (a portion of) the Dutch dividend tax from the Dutch tax authorities. A pension fund located in another EU member state or a country that has entered into an information exchange agreement with the Netherlands and is similar to a Dutch pension fund is also entitled to a refund of Dutch dividend tax. The above is based on current Dutch tax legislation.

Market development

Per 31-12-2025

US stocks finished December on a mostly positive note, against a backdrop of steadily rising expectations for GDP growth, contained inflation, and a further interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Performance among various segments was mixed; value stocks outperformed growth stocks for a second consecutive month – with growth stocks declining across the capitalization spectrum – and large-company stocks generally outperformed small-cap and midsized stocks.

Performance explanation

Per 31-12-2025

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -0.43%. Robeco US Large Cap Equities N.V. slightly outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index in December, with sector allocation driving relative returns. Focusing on sector allocation, most value was added from the fund's zero weight exposure to real estate and overweight exposure to materials. Fund holdings in the materials sector outperformed the index sector by over 1%, which was largely driven from the overweight exposure to metals & mining companies. From a stock selection perspective, information technology and financials contributed most to the relative results. In information technology, strong performance came from the fund's semiconductor-related holdings, which included Micron, Microchip and NXP Semiconductors. The semis performance was driven by AI chip demand and strong investor anticipation for AI growth. In financials, banks Wells Fargo and Huntington Bancshares performed well, as did financials services company Apollo Global Management, which was higher by 10%. On the negative side, stock selection was offset by healthcare, consumer staples and energy names.

Expectation of fund manager

Mark Donovan CFA
Joshua White CFA
David Cohen CFA

The consensus outlook for US equities among Wall Street analysts remains positive heading into 2026, bolstered by accommodative fiscal, monetary, and regulatory policies, and an expectation that the AI trade will not falter and drag down broader sentiment. Some analysts note risks to these assumptions, including continued concerns about an AI bubble, a worsening labor market/consumer, and less monetary policy accommodation than now anticipated. We believe there continue to be ample opportunities for stock picking in this environment – particularly as investors look beyond high-priced technology stocks – and we look forward to providing you with updates in the coming months.
