Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -2.08%. Robeco BP Global Premium Equities outperformed the MSCI World Index in September, with both stock selection and sector allocation additive to the relative performance. Stock selection was strong across the majority of sectors, with financials, materials and consumer discretionary leading the way. Bank holdings Fifth Third, ING, KeyCorp, KB Financial and Nordea added most value in the financial sector, while in materials chemical business Valvoline and commodity and mining company Glencore had a robust month. Within consumer discretionary, top ten holdings Sony and Honda Motor performed well, as did Yamaha Motor, Entain and AutoZone. From a sector allocation perspective, the overweight exposures to energy and financials and the underweight exposures to information technology, utilities and communication services added most value. Regionally, contributions came from North America, Europe, Japan and emerging markets.

Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}Global equity markets traded off in September, as investors worried over decisions made by the Federal Reserve, and the rise in Covid cases and concerns over a global supply chain backlog drove returns. The push and pull surrounding the high-profile themes in the market continues to get more aggressive, fitting with the heightened uncertainty/volatility. Some of the key debates revolve around whether inflation will be transitory, central bank policy shifts vs continued balance sheet expansion, fiscal cliff vs pent-up savings and record job openings, and input price pressures vs pricing power and operating leverage. We will continue to focus at a company-by-company level and as always, the fund remains well positioned with holdings that reflect Boston Partners' three circle characteristics – attractive valuations, solid business fundamentals and identifiable catalysts.
