Sustainability Themed Fund |
Currency risk will not be hedged. Exchange-rate fluctuations will therefore directly affect the fund's share price.
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.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors are systematically integrated in the highly disciplined investment process, by using the ESG scores from the RobecoSAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment. The ESG integration aims for a total ESG score of the portfolio higher than the index. Moreover, the scores on the Environmental, Social and Governance dimensions should also be higher than the index, to ensure that the ESG enhancement is reached across all three dimensions. This ensures that stocks with higher ESG scores are more likely to be included in the portfolio while stocks of companies that have very poor ESG scores are more likely to be divested from the portfolio. With these portfolio construction rules we aim for an ESG profile of the fund that is above average compared to its peers. In addition, stocks with corporate governance issues or stocks that have major litigation or regulatory risk may be excluded from the investable universe. Next to ESG integration, Robeco has an exclusion policy and conducts proxy voting and engagement activities based on International Corporate Governance Network objectives.
Robeco QI Global Conservative Equities invests in low-volatility stocks in developed and emerging countries across the world. The selection of these stocks is based on a quantitative model. The fund's long-term aim is to achieve returns equal to, or greater than, those on global equity markets with lower expected downside risk. The selected low-risk stocks are characterized by high dividend yields, attractive valuation, strong momentum and positive analyst revisions as well. The fund combines the outcome of a stock selection model with a disciplined portfolio construction algorithm. This prudent investment approach results in a diversified, low turnover portfolio of defensive stocks aiming to achieve stable equity returns and high income. The investment philosophy of Conservative Equities is based on our findings that investors tend to overpay for risk. The fund's quantitative strategy benefits from the fact that many investors are constrained by the benchmark in their investment process. The fund bases its strategy on academic research and combines several proven model factors to benefit from these tendencies in the (rational) behavior of other investors.
Risk management is fully integrated in the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
The Global Conservative Equities Fund invests in low volatility stocks with lower expected downside risk and good upside potential. The more stable stocks tend to be overlooked by investors, though they offer relatively high returns given their risk profile. We expect the fund to do particularly well during down markets and volatile market conditions. In a very bullish environment, the fund could lag the overall market, yet still deliver good absolute returns. In the long term, we expect stable equity returns and high income with considerably lower downside risk.
