Fiscal product treatment
The fund is established in the Netherlands. The fund is closed for corporate-income tax purposes (fiscally transparent). This means that all results are attributed directly to the participants. As a consequence, the fund is not liable to corporate-income tax and withholds no dividend tax.
Fiscal treatment of investor
Professional investors are divided into pension funds and non-pension funds. Dutch pension funds may re-claim the 25% dividend tax deducted on cash dividends entirely. Dutch non-pension funds may deduct the 25% dividend tax deducted on cash dividends in their corporate income tax assessment. Dividend tax in that case is tax deducted at source. No tax is deducted at source on interest income. Thus, Dutch pension funds do not owe taxes on interest income. Dutch non-pension funds should specify interest income in their corporate income tax assessment.

Sustainability is thus an important considerations in the fund selection.
Market development
Markets inched forward over April, as investors nervously await guidance from the Federal Reserve as to whether April is likely to be the last rate rise of this cycle. Within equities, US tech companies continue to deliver strong earnings and dragged markets higher. This leads to a very narrow number of stocks that outperform, which creates a challenging backdrop for stock pickers. First-quarter earnings continue to come in slightly ahead of expectations, but given the 12 to 18 months it typically takes for the Fed to soften the labor market – any compression on company margins may not be visible until later in the year. From a macro perspective, US economic growth slowed sharply in the first quarter of 2023, despite strong consumer spending. The Eurozone also posted meagre growth over the quarter. In contrast, China reported stronger-than-expected growth, with the surprise double-digit export and retail growth in March, spurring optimism that China's economic rebound has begun. Both global equities (EUR) and global government bonds (hedged to EUR) delivered a marginal positive return of 0.1%.
Performance explanation
Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -0.15%. Sustainable Pension Return delivered a negative return of -0.25% in April. The performance of the funds in the portfolio was a mixed bag. Northern Trust - Emerging Markets Custom ESG Fund and Robeco QI Global Multi-Factor High Yield were detractors this month. The Robeco QI Global Developed Enhanced Index Eq Fund was the best-performing fund in the portfolio.
