Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 1.00%. The fund posted a positive return, also above that of the benchmark. Core bond yields moved more or less sideways over the months, while country spreads and credit spreads tightened, also helped by the ECB. For the first time since Ms Lagarde took over from Mr Draghi, the ECB became pro-active instead of re-active by increasing the PEPP envelope by EUR 600 bln to EUR 1350 bln. Also, further positive news on re-openings of economies supported markets. Surprisingly, the fact that globally infections are still rising at a fast pace, and in some countries like the US lockdown measures needed to be reinstalled, seems to be largely ignored by markets for now. That means we are becoming more and more selective in what to own and what not.

Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Government bond returns remained close to zero in June, with the US (0.1%) and Germany (0.3%) posting modest returns and Italy outperforming (+2.0%). In the first week of the month, yield levels flared up as bonds responded to heated risk sentiment and a huge positive surprise in US payrolls. Rates calmed down after a dovish ECB meeting. The 10 June FOMC meeting had a modest impact on bonds, but the Fed did confirm the message that official rates will be on hold for a long time to come. The decision of the ECB to increase its PEPP bond purchases by EUR 600 bln was a strong positive impulse for Italian BTPs. Their spread over German Bunds declined by more than 20 bps to circa 170 bps, for 10-year maturities.

ESG Integration policy
For Robeco All Strategy Euro Bonds, ESG factors play an important role in the investment process, both in country analysis and credit analysis. For sovereigns, the Country Sustainability Ranking and underlying research is used as input for assessment of the structural outlook for a country. For credits, the ESG analysis is part of the fundamental scoring by the sector analyst.
Investment policy
Robeco All Strategy Euro Bonds is an active bond fund looking to optimize returns on a risk adjusted basis. Its benchmark agnostic investment style is well suited to benefit from inefficiencies linked to benchmarks. It applies a top down strategic allocation. The fund benefits from market segmentation and prevailing silo thinking as it can allocate between all of the asset classes within the fixed income universe. The fund performance is driven by multiple drivers, of which country allocation is currently the most dominant. The Fixed Income Allocation portfolio managers focus on strategic asset allocation decisions. This team is responsible for the asset allocation of the fund and is looking at duration and credit strategies to be implemented into the portfolio. The team can also allocate to foreign exchange strategies but this is not the main contributor to performance.The fixed income investment teams focus on asset class specific strategies. The fund benefits from the expertise of each specific team. The team sets up detailed investment theses bases on fundamental research, applying a structured analysis framework that combines both top-down (macro environment & policy, valuation, sentiment & positioning) and bottom-up perspectives (a country's debt sustainability, macro-economic cycle, ESG profile). As such the portfolio managers have created a repeatable process that has led to long term alpha generation. Alpha generation of the fund is based on multiple performance drivers, such as country allocation, duration management and yield curve positioning. Risk budgeting can be adaptive through time in order to capture the most compelling investment opportunities.
Risk policy
Risk management is fully embedded in the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}We continue to view G10 government bonds as a range trade for now. Ongoing central bank purchases across many jurisdictions should help cap the upside for 5-10 year yields. Conversely, new lows in yields would require a return of risk aversion and/or more central banks crossing the Rubicon of negative rates. We think the former is more likely than the latter. Consequently, we stick to the ranges we identified based on our framework of expected central bank rates two years ahead: 0.5 to 1.2% for 10-year US Treasury yields, and a narrower range of -0.2 to -0.6% for Bunds.
