Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 2.58%. It was a good month for the Life Cycle funds. All funds delivered a positive return. The best performance came from the funds with a more offensive profile, the funds with a longer time horizon. These funds benefited form their higher gearing towards the equity markets. While the funds with a shorter time horizon delivered a lower return, the returns were still positive. The gains generated by the allocations to equities were more than sufficient to compensate for the losses of the allocation to fixed income.

Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}The economic picture remains unclear. Globally, manufacturing data keeps disappointing and this makes people cautious. On the other hand, the services sector still seems pretty healthy although some slowing seems to be taking place. Overall, the consumer side and the labor markets remain in good shape. Financial markets have difficulty digesting these conflicting signals about the economy, and are jittery. On top of this, the trade dispute and Brexit linger on. Geopolitical tensions also remained high due to the situation in Hong Kong and the attack on a Saudi oil facility. A comfort for the markets is that several central banks across the globe have eased monetary policy. The central bank put is still very much alive. Given these challenging circumstances, financial markets and particularly the more risky segments, like equity markets, did not do too badly this month.

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.
Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}The risk profiles of the funds are currently not explicitly skewed towards a certain asset class.
