Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Sensex gained 2.9% in August 2018. The remainder of Q1 earnings was in line with expectations. On the macro front, Q1 GDP growth was robust at 8.2%. On the other hand, external pressures continued, leading to rupee breaching the 70 mark. On the rates front, we saw RBI retaining its neutral stance and the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) hiking rates by 25 bps for the second consecutive policy review. Monsoons were below normal in August.Mid-cap and small-cap indices gained 5.6% and 3.8%, respectively, this month. Indices for healthcare, utilities, information technology, FMCG and energy outperformed the Sensex while indices for telecom, financials and consumer discretionary were key underperformers. Capital flows were positive this month on both FIIs and DIIs, albeit slowing. Foreign portfolio investors remained net buyers at USD 131 million while domestic institutions continued to be net buyers of USD 450 million.

Fund allocation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundAllocations.date,'llll') ]}}| Name | Sector | Weight |
|---|---|---|
Currency policy
The fund is allowed to pursue an active currency policy to generate extra returns.
Dividend policy
The fund does not distribute dividend; any income earned is reinvested.
ESG Integration policy
For Robeco Indian 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
The fund has a predominant focus on large caps with select high-conviction mid-cap ideas. The fund follows an active, predominantly bottom-up investment approach with a focus on fundamentally sound companies which are likely to deliver superior capital appreciation over the investment horizon. The fund seeks to be fully invested and has an active currency policy. Risk management is fully embedded in the investment process to ensure that the fund's positions remain within set limits at all times.
Risk policy
Monitored by an independent department in Rotterdam, 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') ]}}We expect the market to be range bound, supported by signs of economic recovery and consumption growth. However, valuations of around 18.5x one year forward PE limit the upside in the short term. In the current environment we expect companies with a rural portfolio to do well and the portfolio is positioned accordingly.Companies deriving export revenues are expected to benefit from rupee depreciation. Currency, depreciation and oil price strengthening may have some negative impact on India’s macro environment.

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.

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.
