Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -0.90%. The fund posted a negative return over the month, but above its index. Rates rose almost all month, as inflation is increasing rapidly. Part of this rise in inflation, likely due to the current rise in gas prices, is transitory, but inflation may become more sticky in the coming years due to second-round effects. This could force the ECB into tightening policy sooner than previously expected. Both the underweight duration position and the curve steepener position benefited in this environment. Government-related bonds also outperformed, as they sold off less than German Bunds. Country positioning slightly detracted from performance, as spreads tightened somewhat versus Bunds. Especially our iTraxx Asia and CDX EM short positions benefited the portfolio during the month, as the Evergrande story unfolded. FX also added, especially due to weakness in the ZAR.

Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Government bond markets continued their sell-off in September. Energy crunches, supply and logistics bottlenecks remained at the forefront. In the Eurozone, headline inflation has risen to fresh 10-year highs, and is set to rise somewhat further in Q4. In addition, market attention for the virus faded considerably. Vaccination rates in Europe are high and so far there are no signs of a new autumn infection wave. The German elections outcome provided no real surprises, with the SPD as expected becoming the largest fraction in the Bundestag. The most likely scenario currently seems to be a three-party coalition between SPD/FDP/Greens. Generally, such an outcome is seen as not rocking the boat too much on the fiscal side.

Investment policy
Robeco All Strategy Euro Bonds is an actively managed fund that invests mainly in euro denominted government and corporate bonds. The selection of these bonds is based on fundamental analysisThe fund's objective is to provide long term capital growth. The fund aims for a better sustainability profile compared to the Benchmark by promoting certain ESG (i.e. Environmental, Social and corporate Governance) characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 of the European Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation and integrating ESG and sustainability risks in the investment process. In addition, the fund applies an exclusion list on the basis of controversial behavior, products (including controversial weapons, tobacco, palm oil and fossil fuel) and countries, next to engagement.The fund is an active bond fund looking to optimize returns on a risk adjusted basis. It applies a flexible approach to investing and is not fully constrained by its underlying benchmark.The majority of bonds selected will be components of the Benchmark, but bonds outside the Benchmark may be selected too. The fund can deviate substantially from the weightings of the Benchmark. The fund aims to outperform the Benchmark over the long run, whilst still controlling relative risk through the applications of limits (on currencies and issuers) to the extent of deviation from the Benchmark. This will consequently limit the deviation of the performance relative to the Benchmark. The Benchmark is a broad market weighted index that is not consistent with the environmental, social and governance characteristics promoted by the fund.
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') ]}}The ECB still believes it is premature to talk about a QE exit. Though it has 'recalibrated' the net monthly purchase pace of the PEPP, after the recent acceleration into July. By year-end, pandemic permitting, a gradual phasing out of PEPP by mid-2022 might be agreed. However, to avoid a QE cliff and ensure that financing conditions remain favorable enough next year, the current monthly run rate of EUR 20 bln under the 'regular' APP program might be temporarily boosted. The ECB's forward guidance – aligned to the new 2% inflation target in July – still hints at a possible rate cut. Nonetheless, as it will take time before the transitory view on inflation transpires to be correct, we think there's still room for markets to price in more rate tightening in the coming months, but any further move in that direction is likely to be modest.
