Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 5.24%. The portfolio underperformed the benchmark in November. The largest positive contributor was the underweight in communication services. Main detractors last month were our heavy underweight in financials and overweight in healthcare. From a stock perspective, our picks in healthcare, consumer discretionary and materials were the main detractors from performance.

Currency policy
The fund is allowed to pursue an active currency policy to generate extra returns.
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 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 Equities invests in leading listed Chinese or China-related companies. The country-fund return reflects market developments in the country concerned. Your portfolio is actively managed. Exchange-rate changes are reflected in the fund's price. 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 may invest in China A-shares via the QFII and/or a Stock Connect Programme which may entail additional clearing and settlement, regulatory, operational and counterparty risks.
Risk policy
Active. Risk management systems continually monitor the portfolio's divergence from the benchmark. In this way, extreme positions are avoided.
Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}On the Chinese market outlook, we remain constructive for 2020, although the US-China tension re-escalation does make us more cautious in the near term, particularly about the technology and export sectors and ADRs. We are positive on the domestic demand driven sectors, as work resumption is progressing every week, with most of the Covid-19 control measures gradually being lifted across the country. We anticipated that Covid-19 prevention measures (such as wearing masks in public, temperature taking and Covid-19 testing for special situations) will become the new normal, allowing life to get back to normal. During the National People's Congress, more significant stimulus measures were announced. As expected, China is continuing its domestic reforms, including the modernization of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to ensure that they become more efficient, and the support of private sectors after the coronavirus outbreak. Our focus in the coming period is on the effectiveness of policy support, the domestic demand driven by infrastructure spending and consumption recovery, and the technology and innovation driven by 5G and new energy investments.

Fiscal product treatment

The fund is subject to an annual subscription tax ('tax d'abonnement') in Luxembourg, which amounts to 0.05% of the net asset value of the fund.

Fiscal treatment of investor
The fiscal consequences of investing in this fund depend on the investor's personal situation. For private investors in the Netherlands real interest and dividend income or capital gains received on their investments are not relevant for tax purposes. Each year investors pay income tax on the value of their net assets as at 1 January if and inasmuch as such net assets exceed the investor’s tax-free allowance. Any amount invested in the fund forms part of the investor's net assets. Private investors who are resident outside the Netherlands will not be taxed in the Netherlands on their investments in the fund. However, such investors may be taxed in their country of residence on any income from an investment in this fund based on the applicable national fiscal laws. Other fiscal rules apply to legal entities or professional investors. We advise investors to consult their financial or tax adviser about the tax consequences of an investment in this fund in their specific circumstances before deciding to invest in the fund.
