Dividend policy

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 (related) 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 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') ]}}China's economic growth is in a downturn and we believe it might get worse before it can get better, considering the time lag of policy transmission and pressure from external demands due to trade tariffs on top of already moderating domestic discretionary consumptions, industrial activities and property sales/investments. China’s economy is expected to grow 6.3%-6.5% in 2019 as China 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 a downward revision, as the economy slows down, while valuation is at a historical low 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. We remain vigilant on the medium-term market outlook.

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.
