Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Equity markets continued their steady ascent during April. Year-to-date, the MSCI World has delivered its best 4-month return since December 2010. Global equity markets were in rally mode from the outset on signs that the world’s two biggest economies are stabilizing. The US ISM index for manufacturing rose from a two-year low, signaling stabilization after a rocky few months. It followed better-than-expected China manufacturing PMIs over March, assuaging growth concerns, though manufacturing data for Europe came in at the lowest since 2013.

Currency policy
The fund does not apply an active currency policy, currency exposure is driven by security selection.
Dividend policy
In principle the fund distributes an annual dividend. The fund's policy aims at realizing as the maximum possible capital growth within the pre-set risk limits. A high dividend return is therefore not a separate objective
ESG Integration policy
For Robeco BP Global Premium Equities, ESG factors are qualitatively considered on an individual basis in the fundamental analysis but are not structurally integrated in the investment process.
Investment policy
Robeco BP Global Premium Equities invests across the globe in stocks that meet our Three Circles criteria. We seek out attractive valuation, quality businesses, and positive business momentum. The portfolio will always exhibit these characteristics as the portfolio manager can invest in the largest possible universe. Robeco BP Global Premium Equities's management is taken care of by Robeco Boston Partners. This wholly-owned U.S. Robeco subsidiary specializes in value-biased equity investing and boasts an excellent reputation. Boston Partners' investment policy is well known for its unique combination of value-oriented investing, thorough internal research and careful risk management. Wealth preservation comes first. Fund manager Christopher Hart and his team select stocks with a large market capitalization that show good value. The company's fundamentals must be sound. In the stock selection process, carefully developed models are used. Meetings with the companies' management and assessment of corporate data are other essential elements of the selection process.
Risk policy
Risk management is fully embedded in the investment process to ensure that the fund's positions remain within set limits at all times.
Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}Value was lost once again in April as investors are chasing growth and momentum stocks. The market remains mostly driven by sentiment following increased accommodation by central banks around the world. There is speculation that stimulus in China will drive a cyclical recovery in the short term, and that the Fed’s pivot towards easing will lead to a continuation of the current cycle. We have yet to see concrete evidence either in economic data or company earnings/order books that a sustainable rebound is underway. Based on historical comparisons, there is little-to-no slack left in valuation levels of defensive and momentum stocks. This should set up greater performance potential for our portfolio once the excess unwinds. As always, the portfolio remains well positioned, with holdings that reflect Boston Partners’ 3 Circle characteristics – attractive valuations, solid fundamentals, and identifiable catalysts.
