Currency policy

Dividend policy
The fund does not distribute dividend. The fund retains any income that is earned and so its entire performance is reflected in its share price.
ESG Integration policy
Robeco Chinese A-share Equities integrates ESG factors into its investment process by analyzing the impact of financially material ESG factors to a company’s competitive position and value drivers. We believe that this enhances our ability to understand existing and potential (long-term) risks and opportunities of a company. The impact of material ESG factors can be positive or negative, reflecting risks or opportunities, that ensue from a company’s ESG analysis. If ESG risks and opportunities are significant, the ESG analysis could impact a stock’s fair value and the portfolio allocation decision. In addition to ESG integration, Robeco also has an exclusion policy and conducts proxy voting and engagement activities focused on specific themes, such as climate change, aiming to improve a company’s sustainability profile.
Investment policy
Robeco Chinese A-share Equities invests in Chinese A-shares: shares of companies of the People's Republic of China, listed in China. The fund is managed by Victoria Mio and advised by the Robeco Research Team in Shanghai, led by Jie Lu. The fund identifies attractive macro-economic themes and selects fundamentally sound companies. The return of the country fund reflects the market development in the relevant country. The portfolio is actively managed. Exchange-rate changes are reflected in the fund's price development. Risk management is fully embedded in the investment process to ensure that the fund's positions remain within set limits at all times. The fund is normally fully invested. This Sub-fund invests in China A-shares via the RQFII and/or a Stock Connect Programme which may entail additional clearing and settlement, regulatory, operational and counterparty risks.
Risk policy
Risk management is fully integrated into 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') ]}}While unpredictable trade news will continue to cause volatility, we are constructive on Chinese A-shares delivering a positive return in 2020. A deal will boost sentiment and to some extent the fundamentals of the Chinese onshore stock market. Given the moderate monetary and fiscal stimulus measures announced so far, we expect GDP growth to stabilize at 6% in 20H1, and to pick up moderately to 6.1% in 20H2. China will continue its stimulus, focusing on both monetary and fiscal policy, including tax cuts, infrastructure spending and lending support to the property market by ending further restrictions. In addition, we expect that China will adopt more domestic reforms, such as making progress on state-owned enterprises, or SOEs, acting increasingly as private companies.
