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 18x one year forward PE limit the upside in the short term. Macro concerns about higher crude oil prices combined with currency depreciation continue to put pressure on equity markets. We believe consumption and export-related sectors will do well. We have accordingly changed the stock allocation to companies that benefit from currency depreciation.

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.
