Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -3.20%. Robeco BP US Premium Equities outperformed the Russell 3000 Value Index in September with a contribution from sector allocation, while stock selection detracted marginally. From a stock selection perspective, detraction came mainly in information technology, as the fund's semiconductor-related businesses Qorvo and Qualcomm were both down 11%, while avoiding 'expensive' salesforce.com also detracted from the relative performance. Stock selection was particularly strong in the energy sector, which climbed close to 10% in a month when the index was down 3.4%. Holdings Diamondback, Devon Energy, EOG Resources, Whiting Petroleum, Marathon Oil and ConocoPhillips all soared over 16% or significantly more. The sector allocation contribution was helped by having no exposure to utilities and real estate, underweight exposure to communication services and overweight exposure to energy, financials and consumer discretionary.

Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}US equity markets traded off in September, as investors worried over decisions made by the Federal Reserve, 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.
