Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -3.18%. It was a difficult month for the Robeco Life Cycle Funds. All funds delivered a negative return in September. The best-performing funds were those with a shorter maturity, as they have a higher allocation to fixed income. While both equities and bonds lost value, equities suffered steeper losses last month. The funds' performances varied between -1.40% and more than -2.8%.

Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}The global recovery has been decelerating lately. China has seen its manufacturing engine sputtering. Its producer confidence indicator dipped below 50 and is signaling contraction. China is facing a confluence of issues, ranging from a power crunch to policy crackdowns in education, technology and real estate. This has not just led to losses in Chinese stocks, but has also brought real estate developer Evergrande in financial difficulty. In the US, President Biden is struggling to realize his big spending plans. The FOMC meeting in September brought some hawkish surprises. Not only is it likely that tapering will start in November and that it might be concluded in mid-2022, but the probability for a rate hike in 2022 has also increased. Financial markets are increasingly focused on rising cost pressures. In September, the surge in natural gas prices fed the perception of a stagflationary 1970s redux, and equity markets reacted negatively. The MSCI World unhedged in euro lost 2.4%. Sovereign yields rose, with the global sovereign bond index (hedged in euro) losing 1.2% in September. Riskier credit and high yield segments of the fixed income market delivered flattish returns.

Investment policy
Robeco Life Cycle Fund 2050 is an actively managed fund that invests in a global mix of asset classes like equity, bonds, deposits, money market instruments. The fund's objective is to achieve long term capital growth. The fund promotes certain ESG (i.e. Environmental, Social and corporate Governance) characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 of the European Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation and integrates ESG and sustainability risks in the investment process. In addition, the fund applies an exclusion list on the basis of controversial behavior, products (including controversial weapons, tobacco, palm oil and fossil fuel) and countries, next to voting and engaging. As the maturity date of the fund approaches, the mix is adjusted in order to provide a gradual investment risk reduction. This eliminates the need for investors to switch to another fund with an appropriate short term risk profile.The investment policy is not constrained by a benchmark and the funds do not use a benchmark even for comparison purposes.
Risk policy
