Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 3.56%. May was again a good month for the Life Cycle Funds. All funds delivered positive performance. The best-performing Life Cycle Funds were those funds that have a higher allocation to equity markets, as equity markets continued to move higher in May. The funds with a shorter time horizon are more geared toward the bond market. As government bond markets in general only delivered marginal positive returns, the performance of the Life Cycle Funds with a shorter maturity was mainly driven by the allocations to equities and the allocations to the riskier parts of the bond markets.

Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}May was a month in which social distancing measures were eased gradually in many countries. In most developed economies, the virus has peaked. Leading indicators in the US and the Eurozone continue to show contraction in economic activity, although contraction is slowing compared to April. The transition from a lockdown period to a post-lockdown period for leading countries was welcomed by investors. The MSCI World Index rose another 3% in May, following the 11% rise in April. This has created a strong divergence between the real economy, clearly still in recession, and the strong stock market. While the reopening of economies was positive for the equity markets, it was definitely not the only driver. Very large monetary and fiscal stimulus by central banks and governments was the dominant driver. This cooperation between the fiscal and the monetary authorities not only backstopped the economy, but provided a massive boost to risky markets such as equity markets and high yield. Traditional safe havens such as government bonds and gold lost ground in May, although the return on gold remained positive in USD at 2.7%.

Currency policy
Currency risks are hedged to the base currency of the fund (EUR).
Dividend policy
This share class of the fund does not distribute dividend.
ESG Integration policy
The Robeco Life Cycle Fund primarily invests in funds of the Robeco Group. Robeco strives to incorporate ESG issues in investment decisions. For the vast majority of the investments we apply ESG integration indirectly. The ambition is to have ESG integration for the full composition of the portfolio. Sustainability can be a decisive factor in the fund-selection process. Capabilities from other asset managers might be selected if no comparable Robeco product is available. Such funds are currently out of the scope of the sustainability screening.
Investment policy
A well-diversified portfolio consists of a combination of equities, bonds and cash. The proportion between these three asset categories is mainly determined by the maturity date of the fund. The Life Cycle Funds mainly invest in Robeco funds, benefiting on a broad front from Robeco's expertise in investing. The fund's mix of investments means it has a very favorable risk/return profile. The aim is to maintain a risk profile matching the remaining maturity using an active mix policy.
Risk policy
Active. Risk-management systems continually monitor the portfolio's divergence from the benchmark, thereby avoiding extreme positions.
