| Sustainability Themed Fund |
Currency policy
Currency risk will not be hedged. Exchange-rate fluctuations will therefore directly affect the fund's share price.
Dividend policy
The fund does not distribute dividend. The fund retains any income that is earned, and so its entire performance is reflected in its share price.
ESG Integration policy
Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) factors are systematically integrated in the highly disciplined investment process, by using the ESG scores of nearly 4.000 largest companies from the annual RobecoSAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment. The average ESG score of the portfolio is required to be significantly higher than the ESG score of the benchmark. This ensures that stocks with high ESG scores are more likely to be included in the portfolio than companies with poor ESG scores. In addition, the environmental footprint of the fund is improved by restricting the GHG emissions, energy consumption, water use and waste generation, each at stricter levels than the reference index. As a result stocks with relatively low footprints have a higher probability of being selected in the portfolio compared to stocks with poor environmental footprints. Thirdly, the fund will not invest in companies involved in military contracting, controversial weapons, fire arms, child labour, tobacco, gambling, adult entertainment and alcohol as measured according to strict revenue thresholds. Also restrictions will be applied in companies with high thermal coal resources or revenues.
Investment policy
Robeco QI European Value Equities invests in stocks in developed and emerging countries in Europe. The selection of these stocks is based on a quantitative model. The fund invests in stocks with a low price to fundamentals. The fund's long-term aim is to harvest the value premium by selecting the most attractive value stocks. The selection of these value stocks is carried out using a quantitative model, which ranks stocks in a variety of ways, including valuation criteria, solid earnings potential, low risk and momentum.
Risk policy
Risk management is fully integrated in 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 fund follows a bottom-up driven investment strategy to gain exposure to the proven value factor. Rather than using generic factor definitions, it uses Robeco’s enhanced definition to avoid unrewarded risk and maximize its return potential. For example, a generic value factor may lead to investments in distressed stocks that are cheap for a reason. Our proprietary distress-risk model helps to identify these risks and avoids such companies. Furthermore, the strategy aims to prevent that exposure to the value factor results in negative exposure to other factors, like momentum, quality and low-volatility. By doing so, the strategy aims to avoid unwanted and unintended factor tilts. It is a rules-based process that tries to avoid unnecessary transaction costs by only buying stocks if the expected gains outweigh the costs of the trade.
