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
For Robeco Chinese Equities, our focus regarding ESG integration is on corporate governance and in our fundamental assessment of companies we analyze the factor 'management and corporate governance'. We look at the historical behavior of the company vis-a-vis the protection of minority-shareholder interests. Also we investigate the composition of the board and appreciate a higher content of truly independent board members. Finally, we will assess the quality of the audit committee as it is a first protection against fraud. In the quantitative ranking that we use, one of the factors is the RobecoSAM Company score.
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') ]}}The Chinese economy is experiencing a downturn in growth and we believe the situation might get worse before it gets better. This is due to the time lag in the transmission of monetary policy and pressure from external demands caused by trade tariffs – on top of already moderating domestic discretionary consumption, industrial activities and property sales/investments. China’s economy is expected to grow between 6.3 and 6.5% in 2019, as the country struggles with challenges relating to trade and structural reform. However, we also expect to see heightened volatility, as many external and internal risk factors may play out. Corporate earnings will see downward revisions as the economy slows, but valuations are at historical lows and selective opportunities are emerging in the consumer, technology and service sectors, which will continue to drive the economy and gradually represent a larger share. Global liquidity will continue to shrink, with quantitative tightening in the US and the end of QE in Europe. The tougher operating environment ahead will drive up the credit spread for corporations, which has not yet been well-discounted by the market.

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.
