Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 0.93%. The fund posted a positive return in January, more or less in line with its benchmark. Core-bond yields declined over the month, while country spreads tightened. The fund performance benefited slightly less from this yield decline due to its underweight duration position, although the underweight is primarily located in Japanese government bond futures. Country allocation contributed positively to performance, while credit allocation and selection contributed neutrally to performance. The contribution from fx positioning was also neutral.

Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Government bonds posted modestly positive returns in January. Going into the new year, bonds rallied on the back of safe haven demand, with equities selling off. The sentiment in equities reversed after a dovish speech by Fed Chair Powell. He signaled a clear intention to pause the tightening cycle and even considered an early end to the balance sheet rundown. The turn in risk sentiment push yields up somewhat, but dovish statements from both the Fed and the ECB towards the end of the month kept the rise in yields contained. Draghi’s comments on the possibility of the announcement of new LTROs and positive sentiment in credit markets helped to create a favorable market climate for euro periphery bonds.

Currency policy
All currency risks are hedged.
Derivative policy
Robeco All Strategy Euro Bonds make use of derivatives for hedging purposes as well as for investment purposes. These derivatives are regarded very liquid.
Dividend policy
The fund does not distribute dividend but retains all income in the portfolio, so total performance is reflected in the price.
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') ]}}Both the Fed and the ECB are likely to remain on hold this year. Bond yields have corrected sharply and have now more or less priced in this view. This suggests that the room for major changes in rates has diminished. Still, we are modestly constructive on bonds. With growth being weak (euro area) or shifting to a lower gear (US, China) and inflation pressures remaining contained, we expect a continuation of accommodative monetary policy, which should continue to provide support for bonds.
