Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 15.29%. Robeco BP US Premium Equities outperformed the Russell 3000 Value Index in November, with stock selection and sector allocation both adding strongly to performance. From a stock selection perspective, healthcare and energy added most value. In healthcare, top ten holding McKesson soared over 22%, while avoiding some of the more expensive names, such as Danaher and Becton Dickinson, helped. Within energy, positions in oil and gas companies including Diamondback Energy and Cimarex Energy benefited most from the market's anticipation of the full ‘reopening’ that would come with a Covid vaccine. From a sector allocation perspective, underweight exposure to the ‘expensive’ utilities and consumer staples sectors was additive during the month.

Sustainability Themed Fund |
Investments are predominantly made in securities denominated in US dollars.
No dividend is distributed. All returns are reinvested and translated into price gains.
For Robeco BP US Premium Equities, ESG factors are qualitatively considered on an individual basis in the fundamental analysis but are not structurally integrated in the investment process.
Robeco BP US Premium Equities (USD) selects stocks based on their investment merit. Its bottom-up stock selection process is guided by a disciplined value approach, intensive internal research and risk aversion. The fund's broad definition of value looks beyond traditional value characteristics such as low Price/Earnings and Price/Book, and includes analysis of long-term business fundamentals and short term business momentum. The fund's investment objective is to participate in rising markets and preserve capital in falling markets through diligent risk management.
Risk management is fully integrated in the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
Currently, the US stock market is exhibiting traits of a ‘split personality’. On one hand, a rarified 90% of the stocks in the S&P 500 are trading above their 200-day moving averages. On the other, the stock markets' ‘fear index’, the VIX Index of implied stock market volatility, has remained above 20 for 196 consecutive trading days and has averaged a reading of 30+ this year, both marks not seen since the global financial crisis.One should expect volatility to remain elevated, with an ongoing ‘push-and-pull’ between valuation skepticism and uncertainty surrounding vaccine availability and administration, offset by the Fed's monetary stimulus ‘bazooka’ and record lax financial conditions. As always, the fund will continue to remain focused on a bottom-up approach, investing in companies exhibiting attractive valuation, strong fundamentals and improving momentum.
