Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 1.10%. The Robeco Pension Return Portfolio realized a positive return of roughly 1% in March, extending what was already a very solid quarter. Equities were the best-performing asset class with little difference between developed and emerging markets. Value stocks lagged, which was also reflected in the multi-factor equities fund. Emerging debt struggled a bit, partly as a result of pressure on Turkish bonds and the Turkish lira surrounding the elections, but still managed to realize a positive return.

Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}The financial markets were relatively volatile in March, but eventually equity markets ended higher. The broad MSCI World Index added 2.7%. However, yield developments were more remarkable last month, with the important German 10-year Bund yield declining below 0%. Fed Chair Jerome Powell pushed yields lower with his remarks that he does not expect interest rates to be hiked this year, contrary to earlier statements. This, combined with the cautious statements of the European Central Bank, sent all bond categories higher in March. The market actually expects rates to decline in the coming months. We do not expect that we will enter a recession, neither in the US, nor in Europe. Emerging markets underperformed developed markets, although China was a positive outlier. Economic data in China is improving and its equity market has already risen more than 30% this year.

Currency policy
The fund may use derivatives for currency risk hedging and for actively taking positions in currencies in order to generate additional returns.
Dividend policy
The fund does not distribute dividend.
ESG Integration policy
The Robeco Pension Return Portfolio fund mainly invests in Robeco funds. Robeco strives to incorporate ESG issues in investment decisions. For the vast majority of the investments ESG integration applies 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. Such funds are currently out of scope of the sustainability screening.
Investment policy
The Robeco Pension Return Portfolio is aimed at achieving a better risk-reward ratio than an ordinary equity portfolio. To this end, the investments are diversified across various asset classes, which can also include high yield corporate bonds and bonds from emerging markets, with the goal of achieving a risk-reward ratio that is better than the benchmark index, the MSCI World, in the long run. The portfolio is allocated to an optimally diversified mix of passive funds, Robeco funds and/or funds of external asset managers. In the process, the allocation over the asset classes, the selection of funds and composition of this well-diversified portfolio are actively managed, whereby the current vision with regard to future return opportunities is integrated in the portfolio. The Robeco Pension Matching Portfolio can be used in combination with the Robeco Pension Return Portfolio to reduce exposure to investment risk up until retirement. Initially, more money is invested in the Robeco Pension Return Portfolio. As the retirement date draws closer, more and more is invested in the Robeco Pension Matching Portfolio. This one is geared more to stabilizing the future (actual) benefit, by adjusting the interest rate risk of the portfolio to the interest rate risk of a future pension annuity benefit. With these two portfolios, it is possible to take customized approach during the period of pension accrual.
Risk policy
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') ]}}The Robeco Pension Return portfolio is overweight equities. However, we have reduced the weight in equities somewhat, as a lot of the positive news has been priced in in recent months. We continue to favor equities over high yield bonds, as the latter are more sensitive to the late-cycle development of the economy and are less attractively valued.
